LINCOLN" , Oct. . 13 , ( Special. ) The mib-
Ject of jury bribing continues lo he. the all-
/ilisnrbltu ; tuple of conversation on the street * ,
in the court house , hotels and other places
nlriut the city.
.N'ot only were the attorneys out In full
force at the Investigation , but a large num
ber of citizens was present as. well , many of
v ' ntn hail Intereita In cases which arc on
tti docket for this term , and consequently
Vvti ! anxious lo see to just what extent the
lunds of justice would be exerted.
The result of ( he court's action dlil not
ntrlke everybody In that llghl. The promise
that the mailer would be Investigated Is
Itterpreteil In some 'quarters as meaning
simply that after the present flurry Is overj I
Dm matter will be allowed to drop.
These state as their reasons that there has
never been a person convicted of jury bribing
In the history of Lancaster county , although
In I lines past , and Indeed , within the past
elx months , cases of the most glaring ami
opparnnt attempts at bribery have come lie-
lore , the court's notice , and was of universal
l.-rowjedgo still nothing was over done.
Many attorneys claim thut no such tiling
( is jtifltlcn can be- had here , nnd Indeed can ,
In five cases out ot ten. prophesy correctly as
to the verdict that will be reached In cases
yhcrti justice should win but docs not.
On being interviewed today several of the
nttorneys expressed the hope that the Lan
caster County liar association would lake
U > e matter up at once and rec what could

TOPEKA , Oct. 23. The protectlves , headed
by General Tracey , havp > scored the lltet
point In the Santa Fo light. Their advantage
may be only temporary , but It la a decided
one lor the time being. They have tied the
har ot the majority by an Injunction which
der the use ot ( lie cumulative system
ofmil voting. If the general reorganization com-
mil tee represented by the board ot directors
refuses to adopt the cumulative system then
the court's order forbids an election until a
hearing on the Injunction takes place. The
time set for this hearing Is October 29.
There will In any case bo no election of di
rectors today , for the directors' committee
has ! decided to resist the cumulative plan of
voting proposed by the protectlves , who are
In the minority anil have no hope for a rep
resentative on the board except under the
system In question. The order from the
United Slates court Is thus In force. The di
rectors" committee will make n strong re-
slsterice to the restraining order on Monday
next.
next.The
The restraining order Issued
. . was by Judge
Foster ot the United Stales district court late
last night. The movement lo obtain Itwus
a bit of strategy by the protectives which
the opposition did not anticipate. They looked
for _ a. fight llrst In the meeting and for legal
proceedings ( next. Under cover of darkness
and a closed carriage ex-Secretary of the
Navy Tracey and his fellow representatives
of Ihe protectives- went to Judge Poster's
residence last night. So quickly was this
mission performed that little ol a definite
nature leaked out till Ihe day for Ihe meeting
ttawneil and the many thousands of shares
were being bundled together by the directors'
committee for the purpose of carrying out
their plans.
HEADED OKIAT THE START.
At 10 o'clock sharp the room of General
Manager Frye In the Santa Fe general office
building was packed with the representa
tives of the present management. Vice
President Itoblnson anil Director Gleed wete
seated at the table conning the Injunction
papers that had been served. In a few min
utes Mr. Hoblnson declared the meeting
ready for business. Secretary Wilder read
the 'call , and Immediately thereafter Air.
Hoblnson announced aa a committee to take
down the proxies and see who was entitled
to vote. Charles Illood Smith , James Walker ,
Jr. , and George VC. Porter. Newman Erb
strongly objected because the protective com
mittee was not represented , and moved that
Henry Woolman of Kansas City be added.
A dozen tried to get the chairman's atten
tion after the motion was seconded. Mean
while Director Gleetl moved to adjourn to 2
o'clock. The motion to ndd Woolman finally
carried , and the adjournment was taken.
The committee on proxies will report at the
afternoon hour of meeting : .
The general committee Is confident that
tlie restraining order gives the protectlves
nothing In the way ot permanent advantage.
They declare that they are sure ot winning ,
and are carrying out the plans of selecting
the present directors without the proteof0
lives having a- single representative on the
board. They declare that all the talk about
the expiration ot the Santa Fe's charter Is
simple' In the extreme ; that the company Is
operating under a charter granted in 1859 ,
unlimited as to time. They further declare
lliat the cumulative plan of voting was
brought up years ago and declared to he
inapplicable to the Santa Fe's voting system ;
that this decision was reached by unanimous
consent of the ablest counsel Irr the Santa
Te's -employ , and also that the settled policy
of the company has been llxed against the
cumulative plan.
Newman Erb , attorney for the protectlves ,
will not do much talking. II ? says thai he
will leave for New York and that the local
attorneys will look after their side of the
ease at the luarlng on Monday.
The session of the stockholders this after
noon will be formal and will merely elect a )
chairman of the meeting , who , it Is agreed I , |
will be Hon. Thomas A. Osborn , ex-governor.
After an hour's session thla afternoon
Thomas A. Osborn was elected chairman
and the meeting adjourned to 10 o'clock
Thursday , November 1.
Considerable bitterness was displayed over
the election of a chairman , the protectlves
clalmtig that the rules required that the
vice president preside. The committee
showed that Vice President Robinson was
obliged to leave Topeka and that therefore a
chairman could be elected. Newman Erb
introduced a resolution that the federal court
bo asked to appoint a committee to Invest.-
gate the company's affairs ami report to the
stockholders within about thirty days. Thla
resolution was shut out by the passing of
the pending motion to adjourn made by Di
rector Gleed.
D. P. Cheney. ] r. , of Doston , the repre-
( tentative of 19.0U shares of stock and the
largest Individual stockholder , said the i i
present board would concede mothlng to I
the. protective committee.
"Thla injunction , " lie said , "Is undoubt '
edly sprung to compel us to give representa
tion on the board tn them , but we will not
do it. Wo will not compromise or make |
concessions to them. "
| ] far the most
y Important point from a
railroad standpoint that has developed BO
far Is that the- general committee , It It wins
this fight , will make n. P. Cheney , Jr. , chair
man ot the bimrd. This IR the highest ex
ecutive position on a railroad , and Is always
held by men of high financial standing.
Cornelius Vanderbllt is chairman of the
New York Central board , an olllce higher |
than the presidency held by C. M. Depew.

The pjss agreement- which wn adopted
at the meeting of western and southwestern
railway lines at St. Loujs a fortnight ago and
which has since r jc lved the endorsement
of the executive conimttee | , ID giving no end
of trouble to rallroail nien In ( his section.
Ono road received a' ' telegram from Its gen
eral manager yesterday calling In all the
trip passes In possession of the local odlce ,
while another general agent received Information
mation from the general passenger agent
that no trip passes must be Issued to secure
' or influence business In any w y.
Ordinarily the piss agitation has not come
up until January , but the representalives of
the lines , members ot tliu association , have
taken the bull by tlio liorns and evidently
mean to give the pass question a fair and
Impartial trial. "Why the heads of the pas
senger and freight , departments should com
mence to pull In passes nt this timeIs ono
| of the questions part solution. " said a well
known passenger agent. "It will make
enemies for our road and will do little good
In the long TUB. I nni heartily In favor of
dolni ; away with the trip pass , but I be
lieve their abolishment should not bo done
hastily. What will prevent a railroad de-
Hiring to Issue u pass from fllvltig an annual
and dating It before
tlio pass agreement was
adopted ? Should any question urlse the rail
road man could easily state that It had gene
out long before the pass proposition was
over thought of. "

sacked. He said that he could not verify any
reports. The authorities In Cambridge sel
dom have any telegraphic communication with
the station owingto the fact tint it costs
some $3 for each word.
"I Imvs hopes , however , " he said , "that the

think that the station that has been sacked
Is the ono on 131 Misli and not tlmt at Are-

or It Is the highest meteorological station In

.Ircady been very valuable. The losk of what

shall possess $30. It now develops thut when
a party of pauper Japanese arrives In Vic

into this country. Upon arriving here the
Japanese are taken to the customs house ,
examined and as each has they requisite

The discovery of the statemi-nt Is second

seven Japanese applied for admission. They
were lined up In a hall outslne the. collector's

Recent Case Has Attracted the Bar Association's Attention.
OFFICIAL ACTION TO BE TAKEN AT ONCE
Lincoln County Attorney * Attends the Legislation In the Body Loving a Part
That Round Work In This
Line Is Required.
LINCOLN, Oct. 13, (Special.) The subject of jury bribing continues to be the all-but-impossible topic of conversation on the street, in the courthouse, hotels, and other places within the city.
Not only were the attorneys out in full force at the investigation, but a large number of citizens was present as well, many of whom had interests in cases which are on the docket for this term, and consequently were anxious to see to just what extent the hands of justice would be exerted.
The result of the court's action did not strike everybody in that light. The promise that the matter would be investigated is interpreted in some quarters as meaning simply that after the present flurry is over, the matter will be allowed to drop.
These state as their reasons that there has never been a person convicted of jury bribing in the history of Lancaster County, although in the past, and indeed, within the past few months, cases of the most glaring and obvious attempts at bribery have come before the court's notice, and was of universal knowledge still nothing was over done.
Many attorneys claim that no such thing is possible here, and indeed can, in five cases out of ten, prophesy correctly as to the verdict that will be reached in cases where justice should win but does not.
On being interviewed today, several of the attorneys expressed the hope that the Lancaster County Bar Association would take the matter up at once and see what could be done.
LINCOLN IN THE NEWS.
J. Holmes McLeod, the author of the book entitled "The Luxury of Poverty," today petitioned the court for a decree of divorce from his wife, Susan, whom he married on June 26, 1893. He alleges that he has been subjected to all manner of harsh treatment by her hands, and that now she has deserted him.
George Brazeen, who has attained considerable notoriety during the past few months, and who it was claimed, threatened the life of Chief Cooper, County Attorney Worthington, and others, promises to bring to light some very startling evidence at the trial of Brazeen against Kinggerty, the West Lincoln marshal, which occurs tomorrow. He declares he has been unjustly persecuted by these officials, and is going to make it warm for them.
Henry K. Lewis of this city has been appointed receiver of the defunct First National Bank of Kearney. He received official notice of this from Comptroller Eckert today.

Heeding an Injunction to Prevent Collection of the Original Tax.
YORK, Neb., Oct. 25, (Special.) The occupation tax, passed by the city council some time ago, and which caused so much comment among the business men of the city, is being paid in slowly. The H. & M. was granted a temporary Injunction by Judge McCreister, restraining the city treasurer from collecting the tax from the company. It is understood that the company will test the constitutionality in court. Those who have paid have done so under protest. There has been from $1,500 to $2,000 collected.

Senator Allen failed to make his appearance in York on the 23rd, the time set for his meeting at this place. This is the second time that there have been arrangements made for an Allen meeting here, but on each occasion those who came in to hear him were disappointed.
Mr. A. S. Harlan of the firm of Harlan, attorneys, and who has been sick for the last six weeks, is but little better. He has typhoid fever, and his condition is very serious.

Farmers Reap Heavily by Utilizing Demonstrating Firearms,
COZAD, Neb., Oct. 25. (Special.) Last evening about 7 o'clock the barn of L. H. Kirkpatrick, a farmer living nine miles north of here, burned to the ground. With the assistance of neighbors, the other buildings were saved. Mr. Kirkpatrick had just filled his barn with hay, fodder, and grain for his winter supply, all of which was lost. Two head of horses were also burned. The building was partially insured. Mr. Kirkpatrick estimates his loss at $800 above insurance. The origin of the fire is unknown.
COLUMBUS, Neb., Oct. 25. (Special.) The barn belonging to Jake Hormovilak was partially destroyed by fire yesterday evening, supposed to be caused from a pipe. Two horses belonging to visitors of the family were burned to death.

Charge of Accepting a Bribes After a Settlement was Made.
BEAVER CITY, Neb., Oct. 25. (Special Telegram.) The prosecution of D. T. Wells, judge of this district, who was arrested ten days ago on a charge of accepting a bribe, came to an abrupt and unexpected close today at the preliminary hearing. The complaining witness, A. D. Gibbs, withdrew the complaint and the case was dismissed, much to the disappointment of a courtroom full of expectant people who wished to hear some national testimony. The matter has been amicably settled between the principals.
Eugene Gibbs was sentenced today to one year in the penitentiary for horse stealing, the prisoner having pleaded guilty before Judge Wells. Gibbs, who is but 17 years old, stole a pony of doubtful value from his employer in Sherman precinct and went to Kansas, where he was captured.
FARMERS IN PLATT COUNTY,
COLUMBUS, Neb., Oct. 25. (Special.) Orlando Nelson has filed papers for water rights for an irrigating ditch, to take water from the Loup and run eastward through Tatten and Colfax counties. It is expected work will begin in a few days. No bonds are to be asked for, as the owners of land along the line are to own the ditch, under certain conditions of its construction and operation. Engineer H.V. Lawrence, who is now supervising the construction of a ditch in western Nebraska, is expected daily to help with preliminaries. Already this latest scheme has developed considerable interest among farmers, and it seems as though we are to have a canal for sure.

FOR FOOTBALL, TOMORROW.
Starting the C. M. Brown era at Doane College.
Tomorrow brings the game of football between the Omaha Young Men's Christian association and Doane College team. On Tuesday, Brown went to North and took charge of the Doane College team. Since he has been there and worked, a great improvement is visible. Their intent is now focused on the game, showing a spirit of hard work, faithfulness, and a willingness to improve. The team seems to have grasped the meaning of Brown's remarks and criticisms. The lineup is probably as follows: Lee, center; Howe and Hare, guards; Davis, Challaway, and White, tackles; Griffiths, Preston, and Kippins; Campbell Thompson, quarterback; Henderson, Cable, and Schultz, halfbacks; Bills, fullback.
The Young Men's Christian association players have been in charge during the absence of Brown. The team has not been fully chosen yet, but Saturday's papers will give the final makeup of each team.
Doane College arrives in Omaha this afternoon at 3:30 p.m., and will be quartermastered at the Barbara hotel. The team will be called at 3:50 p.m., Saturday. Admission, 25 cents.

DISTINGUISHED AT CHURCHILL DOWNS.
Large crowd for the first day of racing at Churchill Downs.
LOUISVILLE, Oct. 25. Today's sport at the Downs was good, and the crowd was the largest of the meeting, between 4,000 and 5,000 people being present. The management of the association is very much elated over the success of this, the initial meeting.

Directors Taken by Surprise by the Action of General Tracey.
PROTECTIVES SECURE AN ORDER OF COURT
JUDGMENT Declares the Voting System illegal,
Temporary Arrangements continue.
TOPEKA, Oct. 23. The protectives, headed by General Tracey, have scored the latest point in the Santa Fe light. Their advantage may be only temporary, but it is a decided one for the time being. They have tied the hare of the majority by an injunction which prevents the use of the cumulative system of multiple voting. If the general reorganization committee represented by the board of directors refuses to adopt the cumulative system then the court's order forbids an election until a hearing on the injunction takes place. The time set for this hearing is October 29.
There will in any case be no election of directors today, for the directors' committee has decided to resist the cumulative plan of voting proposed by the protectives, who are in the minority and have no hope for a representative on the board except under the system in question. The order from the United States court is thus in force. The directors' committee will make a strong resistance to the restraining order on Monday next.
The restraining order issued by Judge Foster of the United States district court late last night was a bit of strategy by the protectives which the opposition did not anticipate. They looked for a fight first in the meeting and for legal proceedings next. Under cover of darkness and a closed carriage ex-Secretary of the Navy Tracey and his fellow representatives of the protectives went to Judge Foster's residence last night. So quickly was this mission performed that little of a definite nature leaked out till the day for the meeting dawned and the many thousands of shares were being bundled together by the directors' committee for the purpose of carrying out their plans.
HEADED OFF AT THE START.
At 10 o'clock sharp the room of General Manager Frye in the Santa Fe general office building was packed with the representatives of the present management. Vice President Robeson and Director Gleed were seated at the table coming the injunction papers that had been served. In a few minutes Mr. Robeson declared the meeting ready for business. Secretary Wilder read the call, and immediately thereafter Mr. Robeson announced as a committee to take down the proxies and see who was entitled to vote. Charles Hood Smith, James Walker, Jr., and George VC. Porter. Newman Erb strongly objected because the protective committee was not represented, and moved that Henry Woolman of Kansas City be added. A dozen tried to get the chairman's attention after the motion was seconded. Meanwhile, Director Gleed moved to adjourn to 2 o'clock. The motion to add Woolman finally carried, and the adjournment was taken.
The committee on proxies will report at the afternoon hour of meeting.
The general committee is confident that the restraining order gives the protectives nothing in the way of permanent advantage. They declare that they are sure of winning, and are carrying out the plans of selecting the present directors without the protectives having a single representative on the board. They declare that all the talk about the expiration of the Santa Fe's charter is simple nonsense; that the company is operating under a charter granted in 1859, unlimited as to time. They further declare that the cumulative plan of voting was brought up years ago and declared to be inapplicable to the Santa Fe's voting system; that this decision was reached by unanimous consent of the ablest counsel in the Santa Fe's employ, and also that the settled policy of the company has been fixed against the cumulative plan.
Newman Erb, attorney for the protectives, will not do much talking. He says that he will leave for New York and that the local attorneys will look after their side of the case at the hearing on Monday.
The session of the stockholders this afternoon will be formal and will merely elect a chairman of the meeting, who, it is agreed, will be Hon. Thomas A. Osborn, ex-governor. After an hour's session this afternoon, Thomas A. Osborn was elected chairman and the meeting adjourned to 10 o'clock Thursday, November 1.
Considerable bitterness was displayed over the election of a chairman, the protectives claiming that the rules required that the vice president preside. The committee showed that Vice President Robinson was obliged to leave Topeka and that therefore a chairman could be elected. Newman Erb introduced a resolution that the federal court be asked to appoint a committee to investigate the company's affairs and report to the stockholders within about thirty days. This resolution was shut out by the passing of the pending motion to adjourn made by Director Gleed.
D. P. Cheney, Jr., of Boston, the representative of 19,000 shares of stock and the largest individual stockholder, said the present board would concede nothing to the protective committee.
This injunction, as undeniably sprung to compel us to give representation on the board to them, but we will not do it. We will not compromise or make concessions to them."
For the most important point from a railroad standpoint that has developed so far is that the general committee, if it wins this fight, will make N.P. Cheney, Jr., chairman of the board. This is the highest executive position on a railroad, and is always held by men of high financial standing. Cornelius Vanderbilt is chairman of the New York Central board, an office higher than the presidency held by C.M. Depew.
LEADERS OF THE PROTRACTIVES.
The petition for the injunction was filed by Benjamin F. Tracey and Newman Erbe of New York, Henry Wollman of Kansas City, Williams & Dillon of Topeka, all solicitors for William Palmer Smith of New Jersey, complainant. The defendants are then Atlantic, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad company of Kansas City; D.L. Hobson of Chicago, vice president; Edward Wilder of Topeka, secretary; and L. Severy of Emporia, C.S. Steel and Cyrus K. Holliday of Topeka, Edward J. Bowland of Philadelphia, Samuel C. Lawrence, George A. Nickerson, Alanson Spear and D.P. Cheney, Jr., of Boston, and Thomas P, Fowler, William L. Dull, John A. McCall, James A. Blair and F.K. Sturgis of New York, all directors.
The petition sets forth that in 1874, the Kansas legislature passed the cumulative voting law, giving to holders of stock in Kansas corporations the right to cast all their votes for one director, that is, the number of votes to be cast on account of each share of stock shall be multiplied by the number of directors to be elected and all of such votes shall be given for one director; that the law was amended in 1888 as follows: "In all elections for directors or trustees of any incorporated company, each shareholder shall have the right to cast as many votes in the aggregate as shall equal the number of shares so held by him or her in said company multiplied by the number of directors or trustees to be elected at such election and each shareholder may cast the whole number of votes either by himself or by proxy for one candidate, and such directors or managers shall not be elected in any other manner. The petition than says: All of the said defendants deny to your orator the right to vote his stock in accordance with the said statute above copied and your orator fears that said defendants last named will control the majority of stock at the sold meeting and by reason thereof will be in control of said meeting and election. And your orator further states that said defendants last named (the present directors) have combined and federated together for the purpose of preventing your orator from voting his said stock in the manner indicated and prescribed by said statutes above set forth and your orator further states that in the event the said defendants, last named shall have the majority of said stock and shall be able to vote the same at said meeting as claimed by said defendants that then your orator will be deprived of said rights under the said statutes unless said defendants are restrained and enjoined by the order of this honorable court."
Directors Rennsvile, Dull, Dice, Lawrence, Blair, Cheney, Fowler, McCall and Sturgis were never elected by the stockholders, but were placed in office through the resignation of former directors and have combined and confederated for the purpose of perpetuating themselves in office.
CALUMI | PARFNS.
The pass agreement which was adopted at the meeting of western and southwestern railroad lines at St. Louis a fortnight ago and which has since received the endorsement of the executive committee, in giving no end of trouble to railroad men in this section. One road received a telegram from its general manager yesterday calling in all the trip passes in possession of the local office, while another general agent received information from the general passenger agent that no trip passes must be issued to secure or influence business in any way.
Ordinarily, the pass agitation has not come up until January, but the representatives of the lines, members of the association, have taken the bull by the horns and evidently mean to give the pass question a fair and impartial trial. "Why the heads of the passenger and freight departments should commence to pull in passes at this time is one of the questions part solution. "said a well-known passenger agent. "It will make enemies for our road and will do little good in the long run. I am heartily in favor of doing away with the trip pass, but I believe its abolition should not be done hastily. What will prevent a railroad from issuing a pass from issuing an annual and dating it before the pass agreement was adopted? Should any question arise, the railroad man could easily state that it had gone out long before the pass proposition was overthought of."
The executive committee of the western and southwestern lines is in session in Chicago now, J.A. Miner, freight traffic manager, representing the Union Pacific in the meeting. The Santa Fe, it is understood, has abandoned the issuing of time passes or mileage books, and the road insists that other lines follow in their footsteps. However, the people who have been the recipients of passes in the past are denouncing the action of the roads and a parrot of a time is anticipated by freight and passenger agents in the very near future.
WAITING FOR THE JOINT TARIFF.
The Burlington agent cannot fill the Northern Pacific just yet.
TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 25 — The Puget Sound agent of the Burlington road has a letter from his general freight agent stating that there is a delay in arranging the details of the new joint tariff with the Northern Pacific and that he cannot tell just when it will be ready. Two hundred Burlington freight cars have been turned over to the Northern Pacific and are arriving in this city loaded with Pacific district wheat. They are to be loaded with lumber and shingles for points on the Burlington System. A number of mill men are ready to load cars, but all applications have been refused pending the arrival of the joint tariff. Assistant General Superintendent Dickinson of the Northern Pacific says the Burlington connection will enable Puget Sound manufacturers to compete for the immense territory tributary to the Burlington, north and west of the Missouri River, which has hitherto been had by Oregon manufacturers, shipping over the Overland route.
McNeil's projects for the establishment of a steamship line between Portland and the Orient have not as yet progressed far, although definite information will not be given out by the Officials, but they make no secret of the fact that such a line is a part of their plans for holding up the local and through business. The traffic agreement with the Great Northern gives the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company a through line for the east. Whether the Union Pacific will join the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company in such a proposition is unknown. It would be clearly to its benefit unless it is so tied up with the Southern Pacific on account of the Oregon connection that it is unable to handle Oriental freight via Portland.
The route into Everett.
CHICAGO. Oct. 25. The Illinois Central road put into effect its rate of $100 from Chicago to the Pacific coast via New Orleans. This action clearly puts the Illinois Central in contemplation of the agreement of the Western Passenger association, but there is a tacit understanding that the association will allow the rate to stand until it is demonstrated whether or not it will tend to disrupt the business of the other association lines.
New York, Oct. 25. The Minneapolis & St. Louis Railroad company has paid to E. P. Flower & Co., as financial agents of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad company, $5,000,000, being the amount due the latter company for equipment bonds of the Minneapolis & St. Louis company held by the Rock Island. This payment was provided under the reorganization plan and settles a claim of long standing.
Exception to the Master's Report.
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 25. Counsel for Isaac I. Nice today filed voluminous exceptions in the United States circuit court to the forty-third report of Special Master Crawford, which recommended the dismissal of Nice's petition for the removal of the Reading receivers, etc. The petition was filed on behalf of himself and other creditors of the Reading for Intervention in the Platt foreclosure suit.
St. Louis, Oct. 25. The meeting of stockholders of the St. Louis & San Francisco, which was to have been held in the company's office in this city today, was postponed until next Tuesday. This action was taken to await the results of the Atchison election, which may take place at Topeka, Kan., next Thursday.
Indian Indians Fight Back.
TUSCALOOSA, I. T., Oct. 25. A big scheme is on foot to dispossess the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad of nearly 1,000,000 acres of land held as right of way through the Choctaw nation. A strong lobby is here to get the Choctaw council to pass a bill defining the right of way and to cut it down to 1 1/2 than one-half.
The auditing department of the Union Pacific will shortly reduce its force, two men having been informed that their services would not be required, after this month. Eustus Young, auditor of the Union Pacific, is in Chicago in attendance upon the biannual meeting of the National Association of Railway Accounting Officers, of which he is vice president.
Secretary Davidson of the local passenger association has called a meeting of the "low joints" for Saturday afternoon, at which time a new secretary is to be elected, Mr. Davidson having held the office for six months. Mr. James Mann of the Elkhorn will be elected to the position, the Elkhorn and Burlington alternating in holding the secretary's office.
Wednesday the Union Pacific ran a special train from Stromsburg to Lincoln for the benefit of people flying in and between these points who desired a day's shopping in the Capital City. It is said that nearly 800 people were carried to Lincoln, the excursion being an immense success. Stromsburg and vicinity is entirely tributary to Lincoln, which accounts for the Union Pacific running the train on this branch instead of to Omaha.

Prof. Pickering Thinking it Vm at the bar.
Observatory that I have Snuck off.
BOSTON, Oct. 25. Prof. Pickering of the Harvard observatory was asked to give his opinion on the report that the Harvard astronomical station at Arequipa, Peru, had been sacked. He said that he could not verify any reports. The authorities in Cambridge seldom have any telegraphic communication with the station owing to the fact that it costs $3 for each word.
"I have hopes," he said, "that the port as published is distorted by being mixed about from one country to another, think that the station that has been sacked is the one on 31st Miss and not the one at Arequipa. This station is extremely important, or it is the highest meteorological station in the world and observations made there have already been very valuable. The loss of what instruments there are there will not amount to much as far as actual money goes, for the instruments would only cost a few hundred in America, but it would nevertheless be a great loss to have any of these instruments stolen, because it is with the greatest difficulty that anything can be carried there.
The atmosphere is so rare on the summit that nobody can pretend to live there. So strong times a month somebody goes there from Arequipa and takes a record of all the work the automatic instruments have been doing in the previous ten days. From these facts you can readily understand that the sacking of that station would be a serious event."

Panama, IaH | 1'utii | the Dinning | Hamlet with the Cash or Hindering Receipts.
PORT TOWNSIDE, Wash., Oct. 25. The customs and immigration officials here have discovered a scheme whereby it is estimated that 600 pauper Japanese have been admitted this year. The only restriction to immigration is that each applicant for admission shall possess $30. It now develops that when a party of pauper Japanese arrives in Victoria they are met there by agents from this side, who supply each with $30 and a ticket into this country. Upon arriving here the Japanese are taken to the customs house, examined and as each has the requisite amount the party is passed. Before starting to interior points the money is refunded to the agent, who crosses the line again to await another batch.
The discovery of the statement is second only to that made during the term of ex-Collector Washington when a party of twenty-seven Japanese applied for admission. They were lined up in a hall outside the collector's office and were called in and re-examined separately. An inspector standing near happened to see one giving money to another and, suspecting fraud, had the entire party taken before the collector in a bunch, resulting in the discovery that there was but $30 among the whole crowd. As a consequence, the whole crowd except one were bundled back to Victoria, where the agents evidently concocted the scheme, recently unearthed.
A FIT THE DESCRIPTION BEHAVIOR.
Omaha failed to mention Names Without Money and Took Him Home to Lynn.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 25, For the last twenty years B. R Stapley, a wealthy resident of London, has been looking for his brother, James Stapley. He advertised for him widely and engaged detectives to aid him in the search. Recently Mr. Stapley sent his two stepsons to this country to continue the search. They inserted advertisements in the newspapers and notified the police of all the large cities in the country.
After a short search, Chief of Police Speers located Stapley in this city by Inquiring among the English residents. He is sick and poor, and for some time has made his home with W. W. Taylor, a contractor. Mr. Stapley will return to England and live with his brother.

Acquitted of the Murder of His Father.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 25. The trial of Van K, Prichett, charged with the murder of his father, Clark Prichett, July 2 last, resulted today in a verdict of not guilty. Prichett shot his father while the latter was advancing a threatening mallet toward his mother.
SCARLETT RIDGE ON THE DESERT, CAL., Oct. 25. The remains of another prospector have been found out on the desert sands. It is not improbable that the remains are those of a man who lost his life while searching for the long lost bonanza, the "Peg Leg R mine," J. T. and T. T. Blatt of this city have just returned from a summer's prospecting trip on the desert and they made the discovery.
While out on the desert about sixteen miles scattered bones of a man, bleached white east of Canon spring they came upon the land scattered over a space of 100 yards square. Lying here and there on the sand were pieces of the dead man's wearing apparel. To one of the lapels of the coat was pinned a curiously wrought Knights Templar badge. It is the one that the bones are those of a man named Straubenmiller who disappeared about three years ago and of whom nothing has since been heard. On May, 1891, Straubenmiller started from Cottonwood Springs to Walters, a station twenty-five miles distant. At the mouth of Cottonwood Canon, instead of going southwest, Straubenmiller turned east, and a few days later he was traced about twelve miles out on the desert where the trail was last and he was never again seen.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23. What became of the $60,000 estate of Mrs. Sophie Dill is the subject of an inquiry in the probate department of the superior court. Mrs. Dill died twenty years ago, her estate comprising stocks and cash, easily handled, which was left to her minor son, but given in trust to her brother-in-law, John H. Dill. In case of the son's death the property was to be divided among Mrs. Dill's three sisters, one, Emma Compton, residing at Plainfield, N.J. Young Dall died eighteen months after his mother. The uncle applied for letters of administration, stating to the court that the only heir of the young man was his grandmother, Susan Dall of Brooklyn, who was 60 years old at that time. Then John H. Dill, at attorney in fact for Mrs. Susan Dall, gave to himself as administrator a receipt for property composing the estate. He died himself, January last; leaving a fortune in worthless notes and wildcat stocks and $10 in property. By his will this was left to Isabel Dunn, a sister living in New York, and Susan Drown and Francis A. Hall bey, half sisters, living at Brooklyn. The eastern heirs are now trying to trace the original fortune.
SALT LAKE, Oct. 25. S. P. Teadell & Sons, well-known merchants of this city, made an assignment yesterday. The liabilities are over $200,000, Assets not yet known. The assignment caused a sensation in business circles and is considered one of the largest and farthest-reaching failures in the history of Utah. The list of creditors shown a wide range, including Boston, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Omaha, San Francisco and many other cities. The house was opened in 1880. The troubles of the firm are due in part to the hard times but primarily to the fact that it was impossible to collect from parties who had been trusted for merchandise, some of them years ago. J. K. Dooley and J. L. O'Connell are named as assignees.
DAY CITY, Mich., Oct. 25. A number of gentlemen interested in lumber rafting met today to consider the imposition of a 20 percent duty by the Canadian government upon boomstocks, upon which a tariff of 20 percent is imposed every time they enter a Canadian port. A committee of lumbermen was appointed to interview the privy council at Ottawa. If no relief is granted, they will try to secure a retaliatory act through the next congress.
NEOSHO, Mo., Oct. 25. W. Knotts, living in this city, while cleaning out a sulfur spring this morning, found a petrified man with every part of the body perfect except the stomach. The body was over six feet and is supposed to have been buried during the war.

FORT SMITH, Ark., Oct. 25. A report as reached this city to the effect that the little town of Gibson station has been robbed in pretty much the same fashion as the Vicksburg holdup, the express office and several stores being looted. The place is six miles out of Waggoner on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, and there is no telegraph office here. Particulars of the robbery have not been received here. It is stated that many took part in the holdup. Marshal Crump received a telegram yesterday from Deputy Camblon, who had gone in pursuit of the Cook gang, saying that a fight between the gang and officers was expected at any time. The latest robbery reported here up to this morning was that of a preacher last night at Illinois station, perpetrated by two men. It is not known how much was secured. The train from Waggoner, which arrived here at 1 o'clock this morning, was guarded by a force of twenty-five men under the leadership of Sheriff Brown. The same posse guarded the westbound train, leaving here a few hours later, and were reinforced by twenty-five others at Kennett, as the railroad people were expecting a holdup at Bragg's station. The Cook gang is supposed to be in that vicinity, as ten men were seen at the water tank there when the eastbound train came through. Conductor Conkling was on the lookout for a holdup at Bragg's and later at Illinois, but he came through all right. He reports the whole country as up in arms and on the hunt of outlaws, saying 'there are fully 1,000 men in the chase, till Cook is to be shot on sight.
All day long the marshal's office has been expecting a telegram from the deputies in regard to a fight with the Cook gang. About 150 deputies have been ordered to fill in by United States Marshal Crump to participate in the chase after the bandits, Gibson is the place Cook has heretofore made his headquarters. There is little doubt, however, that his gang has scattered, learning of the coming of the deputies and Indian police. Indian Agent Wisdom had the Indian police join in the pursuit along with the deputies. Troops would be useless in the territory, except perhaps cavalry. The Cooks have to be tracked, and the country is filled with many of their friends ready to give the alarm. The chief of the Cherokee Nation has offered a reward of $500 for the capture of Hill Cook.
A dispatch sent out from Tahlequah a few nights since having that Jim Cook, the young brother of Hill Cook, had made his escape from the Cherokee guards, it was a mistake. Four guards had him in charge. They got scared the other night, and fearing the Cooks would suddenly close on them, they changed the guardhouse and gave out the story that Jim Cook had escaped. It was a ruse. It is now only a matter of a few hours until the last I heard of the Cook range, as a fight or capture is imminent.

Board of Trade Markets Dull - with the Exception of Oats.
BUSINESS IN WHEAT WAS VERY POOR
Com Warrant Innings to Grocery, All kinds of Wheat trading.
Wheat opened Never Very Pro-
monetary At Activity of
the line V > u * Circulated.
CHICAGO, O 25-The Board of Trade markets were very dull to day, with the exception of oats. That market woke up and became heavy selling for Pittsburgh declined slightly, later on covering by Rhodes, and closed full slightly lower for May.
December wheat closed 3ic lower, May corn 5 1/2c lower, and pork substantially higher for May.
The trade in wheat today was very dull and a subject of general complaint. The telegraphic cable news and the heavy receipts in the northwest were sufficiently bearish to keep prices under pressure and close at a lower value.
The expectation of a cold wave and stable of short in the winter wheat belt prevented a marked decline. The day's fluctuations were narrow, with the highest price for December and the lowest for May, with the trading floor at the close.
Corn was dull and for the most part inclined to droop, although its weaknesses were never very pronounced. There was some inquiry for round lots for shortening, and at the close 100,000 head were taken. Corn compared to last night's price was impeded in the latter part of the day by some buying which was however compelled to be of shorts for account of the Pittsburgh man who was selling out of long oats.
The feature of the oat market today was a steady, unabated decline despite moderate volume, with receipts totaling 11,000 bushels and estimates for tomorrow being very low. Liverpool advises mild export of American corn, with May opening and closing at 385c, the fluctuation being between 435c and 385c.
Today's activity in the oat market was very much subdued due to a large amount of short covering for May, a Pittsburgh plumper. It is said that about 40,000 bushels were disposed of on this account, principally through MI, Jefferson, Harrington, Parker, and Barlett Three A Co. The latter mentioned firm was also reputed to have sold out considerable stuff on account of an early meat sale. However, nobody was there free selling but rather a considerable disposal to buy, and thus for this the demand would have been much higher. The rest of the buying was speculative on account of complaints and some local partition. This market was far more active than in any other on the Moor. May opened at from 5 1/2c to 32 1/2c and sold down to 317ic by the close, which was not so free and the market advanced. May closed at 32 1/2c.
Provisions were very dull and trading of the lightest. The fluctuations were insignificant and in the end prices were not materially changed. It resumed with cut late values. Pork is 5c higher, lard a little lower, and ribs stabilized.
Yesterday's receipts were 2,000 head today and 20,000 head are estimated for tomorrow.

Kansas City wheat, 37 cents, corn, 39 cents, nuts, and coal from Atlantic and Alios, 15 cars, 16 cars. Keertxihni termination, 37 cables from London, Cairo off violence and coin, nothing offering on NY and for shipment, corn line, quiet but minor weather in England influenced by chloroform cables quoted Liverpool exports unchanged. Flour hint, slightly lower to its earlier price, corn unchanged, futures held up to 4d lower in Prague, 10c to 15c lower in Brussels, 1½c to 2½c lower in Antwerp, unchanged. An extract from a British cable dated October 12 states: "The demand in the grain trade is tremendous, and it looks as if we were on the brink of another break in prices; more than an improvement in prices meets an auction of additional supplies from southern Russia, which will depress prices further." In Chicago, exporters say that expectations are falling off, and it seems doubtful that reduced estimates will be met. The market is holding in hopes of higher prices. It is difficult to find shipping to Europe, and charters are expensive.
The current reports suggest that the general situation is insufficient moisture in milling areas, ensuring that the wheat supply will be smaller than expected. Occasional fires express concern about the southern part of the crop, but otherwise, the market remains steady. In Chicago, the old sol of influenced wheat, supporting southern receipts on one hand and steady demand at the decline on the other. Prices dropped slightly. The second half of November saw a decrease in exports, reflecting the weaker wheat market. Shippers from the UK and Europe struggled, but the Southern flour market remained stable. Chicago's grain trade was relatively quiet, with mixed results. Northern receipts were fair, keeping prices stable until a late afternoon surge drove demand higher. March and May wheat contracts saw a steady decline, with October's closing at 57½c and December's at 65½c.
In New Orleans, domestic fleece prices held steady, with beef horns and extra India meats both maintaining their values. The pork market was quiet but steady, with a slight uptick in Chicago. Western beef closed at $36, up from last week's $35. Oats received were mainly from the Midwest, with mixed reports from the South. Chicago's grain market was generally quiet, with only minor changes in prices. The Western corn market remained steady, with no significant movement. The Chicago provisional grain report showed mixed results for the week, with some gains in wheat and corn but modest declines in oats and pork. The market overall was characterized by stability, with only minor fluctuations in prices.

Chicago produce: 44s to $5 and annum and the sought-after after the propertied at $8.50 makes more money, such is on a mission for profit. The South Mississippi has been experimenting with cheese for some time with rather indifferent results. The Herald says that after nearly a century of dealing with the Jersey and the Neumann, the industry in the South is again in the field ready to supply all its old customers with an article as good as if not superior to the European. The manner of the creamery is the only style farmer in the South and he succeeds in clearing more due to the fact that he distributes the superior bulls and cows of decided milk-try and innovative methods like the Jersey, a speedy method of developing a stock as good as or exceeding the old Jersey or Mediterranean breeds, a stock of exceptionally beefy animals the securing from him no expense of Jersey cross on exceptionally rich milk which to make is an "ideal" known to pose quotations.

OMAHA LIVESTOCK MARKET
Steer, the mark of this week, a remarkable monotony of markets.
PRICES STEADY AND TRADING STEADY
No Clouds in the receipts of $16 Co. mixed up, but Other
Grain, Malt, Supplied, Hogs, etc. Still turbulent in Value.
WEDNESDAY, October 25
So far this week, compared with last, the receipts of cattle show very little change. In TOROS there has been a shortening of about 2,000 head over the four days' sheep receipts show some 10 increase.
The New York cattle market has been nonstop, steady, well-supplied, and nothing occurred to relieve the monotony. Receipts averaged up about the same as on the three preceding days, the character of the offering and the state of the demand were not materially different, and trade ruled quietly, prices very firmly in the same old notches. Good to choice beef cattle were conspicuously absent today and buyers exhibited the usual influence toward the fair to poor western rangers that constituted the supply, although they bought them up at from $2.10 to $3.40, or about $3.50 per cwt. Common stuff was in moderate supply, about fifty leads and plenty of odds and ends. The demand was entirely local but sufficiently active to absorb everything of fair quality at full steady prices. Veal calves were in good remnant at steady prices, and the market for bulls, heifers, and fleshy stock generally, while weak, was not quotable lower. Stackers and feeders were in liberal supply, fair demand, and generally steady, the more desirable grades perhaps a trifle stronger, the commoner stock a little slow and hard to move. Good to choice feeders are quotable at from $2.60 to $2.80, fair to good from $2.30 to $2.60, and common trades from $2.20 down. Representative sales:

HOGS With the big break from 10c to 15c resulted in a sharp improvement in receipts to some extent today and the market was near 12,000 short of last Thursday's run. Conditions surrounding the trade were fully as unfavorable as on Wednesday, if not more so, and packers and speculators took a hint, and this, together with the heavy buying by local dealers and the increased supplies, weakened the market considerably to improve as the morning advanced. Some of the late tales were fully steady prices and the general weakness of the market was not much more than a nickel lower than Wednesday. Fair to very good steers and heavy hogs sold at from 14 to 15, with a few of the best heavy loads at 14½c and 15c. Poor la fair light and poor mixed loads sold at from 11.20 up to 12.45c and pigs and store hogs at from 13 to 14c. The supply had a channeling effect on the market by the middle of the forenoon. Sales were largely at from 14.40 to 15.50c, with trading rather at from 15 to 16c and on in the afternoon the Chicago market of the grain and butter failed to maintain the support and fell back to from 14½ to 15½c.

Supply is far superior in plain of market and not in low the avenue in point if supply. There is a fair demand for LEAVE at a fair price and for such an individual market. Common and good wool sheep were not stand at an early price to change a quantity at $5.00 for fair to good wool, $4.60 for common wool, $3.80 for coarse wool. The supply is sufficient for Thursday. There is a demand for Horses and mules at $3.90.

CHICAGO, Oct 23 - Good to choice cattle, $1.30 for Hogs in Good condition.
CHICAGO, Oct 22 - Good to choice cattle, $1.20 for Hogs in Good condition.
CHICAGO, Oct 21 - The receipts from the Western Beef did not reach 13,000 head. This is a small supply for a Thursday. There was that fact more than any strength in the demand that induced the former feeling. The report was unable to fill their orders, there was only about 2,500 of all grades and only a small part of that number was accessible. Sales of nations were from $1 to $2.50 for poor to extra goods and from $2.75 to $3.50 for dressed beef and shipping. There was a well established demand for stock steers and feeders at from $2 to $3.50. The run of westerns was estimated at 3,100 and they were firm at from $6.50 to $7.60. Of Texans, there were 2,000 head, and prices were strong at from $11 to $23 for poor to choice. The market was firm. The situation in the hog market was essentially unchanged. There was a continuation of the receipts of rather ordinary quality and a continuation of weakness that has been a state of the market for these many weeks. Shippers appeared indifferent, and as there was little in the pack, the demand for prices slid down another notch. They were quite 10 to 15 cents lower than at the close of yesterday's trading under a weak influence. Packers' light hogs rounded off at $4.60, and there was nothing on sale for which more than $4.75 could be obtained. That figure was paid in one or two instances, and there were scattering sales at $4.70, but at the entire 9,000 head which consisted of the day's supply, went out of the salesmen's hands below $5.00 from $14.50 to $16.30 buying the great bulk. Light weights were weak at from $10 to $14.50 and from $12 to $4.50 took most of the medium and heavy. The free arrivals were estimated at 3,000 making 12,500 for the last full days. In sheep, the fact that the receipts for the last few days had helped sellers to reduce the accumulation, and the market therefore was kindly influenced by a firmer position, though as yet there has been very little actual success on the part of prices at the close of last week. There was moderate demand today and the feeling was firm at from $3.60 to $4.50 for plain to heavy and at from $5.50 to $6 for common to fair. The pool market was not strong for at from 75 cents to $11.20. The lamb market was firm at from $1.50 to $6 for poor to extra.
Receipts, 11,000 head, market active and about 10 cents up.
Sheep, 11,000 head, market active and firm, prices 10 cents higher.
Kansas City, Oct 25 - CATTLE Receipts, 8,200 head, largely steers, $1.20. COWS 2,250, beef steers $12.50. $1.70 bulls and steers, $2.70 to $3.80.

NKW YORK , Oct. 23-Police Commis
sioner Slieclian was the star witness nt to-
daj's session of the LPXOW roinmlttrc He
hail been sent for tills morning , nml hail
boon Informed that lie must appeir to an-
1 a\ver the sub | > oena at Ilia afternoon session.
a1T
Tlic news that Mr. Shrelmn would appear
on the stand this afternoon spread rapidly)1" )
throiiKhoiit the city , nnl Ions before the
afternoon session wits called to order n bis
crowd blocked the passageway leading to
| the court room.
Fifty subpoenaed witnesses were present
l when the Lexovv committee opened Its ses
sion Ir Parkliurst occupied a sent near
Mr Goff. Senator Lexoiv slid he wanted It
understood tint the committee would not
cease to exist next January , as was popu
larly supposed , and people who are staying
out ot the state to avoid subpoenas will have
to stay outside until 1S06
Mr. Goff called for Commissioner Shcohan.
but that person did not respond A detec
tive was bent to tell Jlr. Slieehan hovas
wanted. Patrol man si. J. Cooney of the
rourlcentli precinct was sworn. Mr. Ooff
1c
charged htm with receiving a diamond ring
and a. gold watch from Matlldi Hermann.
Ho denied the accusation
"You kissed her goodbye In the Oraml
Central depot before she went west recently , "
s.ihl Mr Goff.
"I did not. " |
"Did j-oii go lo Saratoga with her several
jcars ago ? "
"No , sir , I went alone "
"Did > ou lese $5,000 on the races ? "
"I don't remember bow much. "
Cooney was a ward detective In the precinct
In vvhlch the Hermann woman lived. Cooney
WHS naked to slop aside for a while and
Ilnlph Hyde , superintendent for Tiffany &
Co . took the stand. lie had a salesman's
book In bis hand and read front It Hint a
watch , costing $200 , had the name of Coouey
engraved on It The watch was sold on
July 20 , 1801. The n.imo ot tlio purchaser
was M J. Gulleneck. The purchaser lived
ut 137 West Third street Cooney was re
called ami denied that the watch was for
him. or that he went to Tiffany's Mr. Ooff
did not make any progress with I he witness ,
who denied everything. Hero Is a sample :
"Did jou know wardmen who acted ns
collectors for the captains ? "
"No. "
"Do } ou not know jou arc lying ? "
"No"
"When a man wag robbed of J500 in a
panel house , did jou not receive half ? "
"No , bir. "
"Was not a Mr. Palmer , who was robbed ,
threatened with a cell If ho testified against
yon at headquarters' "
"Not In my presence. "
Promptly upon the assembling of the com-
mlUeo after recess , Mr Goff cunferied with
the chairman n moment , and called : "Com
missioner Sheehan. "
Commissioner Sheehan at once took the
stund , but before he could bo sworn Senator
Cantor made a vigorous protest against the
examination of the commissioner , on the
ground that his public duties necessitated
hla appearance at police headquarters At
first Jlr Golf excused Sheehan until tomor
row , as the commissioner had informed him
that It was necessary ( or him to attend
a meeting of the police board this afternoon.
When U was asked that the examination be
postponed until after election , Mr. Goff re
fused.
Then Mr. Sheehan said that If he must
appear tomorrow he might ns well be ex
amined and ha\a it over Ulth , as ho had
morn Important duties tomorrow than this
afternoon Mr. Goff said "Very well , the
testimony will ba proceeded with at onco. "
Mr. Goff tlien questioned Mr. Sheehan as to
the location of the different station houses
in bis districts. The commissioner's an
swers were given after coma hesitation and
attempts to refer to a small directory , which
Mr Goff objected to. Accordingly , to Mr.
Qoft's recapitulation of Sheehan's answers ,
the latter failed to correctly locate two of
liU station houses , as well as police head
quarters

SHERidan PUT ON THE STAND
Police Commissioner Was Not Overly Anxious to Appear Under Sworn Testimony
WAS HE TRUTHFUL A JOB BEFORE COMING
Compulsory Testimony Primarily from
Him INTERROGATED about (Country) Asked to EXPLAIN Thorne He HAD NOT #
Money, mining, and registering.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23-Police Commissioner Sheridan was the star witness at today's session of the ROOSE committee. He had been sent for this morning, and had been informed that he must appear to answer the subpoena at the afternoon session.
The news that Mr. Sheridan would appear on the stand this afternoon spread rapidly through the city, and long before the afternoon session was called to order his crowd blocked the passageway leading to the court room.
Fifty subpoenaed witnesses were present when the ROOSE committee opened its session in Parkhurst occupied a seat near Mr Goff. Senator ROOSE said he wanted it understood that the committee would not cease to exist next January, as was popularly supposed, and people who are staying out of the state to avoid subpoenas will have to stay outside until 1906
Mr. Goff called for Commissioner Sheridan, but that person did not respond. A detective was sent to tell Mr. Sheridan how much he was wanted. Patrolman John J. Cooney of the 23rd precinct was sworn. Mr. Goff charged him with receiving a diamond ring and a gold watch from Matilda Hermann. He denied the accusation
"You kissed her goodbye at the Grand Central depot before she went west recently," said Mr Goff.
"I did not," replied Cooney.
"Did you go to Saratoga with her several years ago?"
"No, sir, I went alone."
"Did you lose $5,000 on the races?"
"I don't remember how much."
Cooney was a ward detective in the precinct in which the Hermann woman lived. Cooney was asked to step aside for a while and Halph Hyde, superintendent for Tiffany & Co., took the stand. He had a salesman's book in his hand and read from it that a watch, costing $200, had the name of Cooney engraved on it. The watch was sold on July 20, 1901. The name of the purchaser was M.J. Gulleneck. The purchaser lived at 137 West Third Street. Cooney was recalled and denied that the watch was for him, or that he went to Tiffany's. Mr. Goff did not make any progress with the witness, who denied everything. Here is a sample:
"Did you know wardmen who acted as collectors for the captains?"
"No."
"Do you not know you are lying?"
"No."
"When a man was robbed of $500 in a panel house, did you not receive half?"
"No, sir."
"Was not a Mr. Palmer, who was robbed, threatened with a cell if he testified against you at headquarters?"
"Not in my presence."
Promptly upon the assembling of the committee after recess, Mr Goff conferred with the chairman a moment, and called: "Commissioner Sheridan."
Commissioner Sheridan at once took the stand, but before he could be sworn Senator Cantor made a vigorous protest against the examination of the commissioner, on the ground that his public duties necessitated his appearance at police headquarters. At first Mr Goff excused Sheridan until tomorrow, as the commissioner had informed him that it was necessary for him to attend a meeting of the police board this afternoon. When it was asked that the examination be postponed until after the election, Mr Goff refused.
Then Mr Sheridan said that if he must appear tomorrow he might as well be examined and have it over with, as he had more important duties tomorrow than this afternoon. Mr. Goff said "Very well, the testimony will be proceeded with at once."
Mr. Goff then questioned Mr. Sheridan as to the location of the different station houses in his districts. The commissioner's answers were given after considerable hesitation and attempts to refer to a small directory, which Mr Goff objected to. Accordingly, to Mr.
Q. Off's recapitulation of Sheehan's answers, the latter failed to correctly locate two of the station houses, as well as police headquarters.
Does your mind get mixed with the scrofula? Miss Delia Stevens, of Boston, Mass., writes: I have always suffered from hereditary scrofula, for which I tried various remedies, and many radical physical physicians, but none relieved me. After taking eight bottles of Dr. Pierce's Pellet, I am now well. I am very grateful to you, as I feel that it saved me from a life of untold agony, and shall take great pleasure in speaking only words of praise for the wonderful medicine, and in recommending it to all.

Georgi told Dr. Hrynnt before he left that he had been trying to see the president for two years in order to wipe away the sin which had been put upon him by incarceration in a mental asylum in Germany. He said he had challenged Emperor William to a duel, but the letter was ignored and had him put in an asylum. President Cleveland was the only man who could wipe away the stain now resting upon him. As he left the house, Georgi promised that he would call again.
NEW YORK, Oct 25 President Cleveland and family left Jersey City on the Colonial express at 4:15 pm. The president met Mrs. Cleveland at the Pennsylvania depot at Jersey City, and at 4:45 pm, the chief magistrate and his family were on their way to Washington. A cordon of detectives surrounded the president during his wait at the depot and no reporters were allowed to speak to him. In answer to a note, however, sent through one of the guardians, the president said he had left no letter to be read at Cooper Union tonight.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 25. The election of
United States Kenatora to succeed those whose
termH empire the Ith ot next March Is at-
tractltiR much attention In political circles
In Washington Uxccpt In the cases where
senators have already been chosen for ( tie
term beginning on the 4th of March next
the legislatures which arc to meet next
winter will perform this service. 'Barring
unusual circumstances thcro wl.l bethirty -
three senators to be sworn In on the -1th of
March , Including those who will succeed the
thirty whose terms expire on that date and
ono each from the states , which failed to
elect when they should liave done so In
accordance with law two years ago. Of these.
six , senators have already been sworn , viz :
Donclson Cattery of Louisiana , to succeed
himself : John H. Gear of Iowa , to succeed
James F Wilson , AVHllam Lindsay , to fuc-
ceed himself ; T. S. Martin of Virginia , to
EU9oeed Eppa I Inn ton ; 0. P. Welmore of
Rhode Island , to succeed N. F. Dixon ; K. C.
Waltliall of Mississippi , to succeed himself.
In the raso of Senator AValthnll he has been
elected to the term beginning 1805 , when he-
resigned from the senate last session and
was succeeded by Hon. A. J. McLaurln.
He did not state his Intentions with refer-
enpo to the new term and It Is not known
here whether he will resume- his seat In ' 85
or resign to cover that term. In none ol
tub above Instances has there been a change
In politics. Of the remaining twenty-four
senators of the regular list whose terms
expire In ! Si5 ! , Senators Herry of Arkansas.

are republicans. The terms of none of the
populists nil ! expire In 1S95. Senators Coke
nnJ Mcl'herson have announced that they
"
Will not stand as candidates for re-election.
Owing to iho failure to elect In 1893 and
to the fuel that the terms of Senators Care }
and Power expire In 1895 , Wyoming and
Montana \\lll each elect two senators .this
Winter ; Und owing to a like failure to elect
In Washington that state will elect one ,
though his term and that of the senator from
each of the other two states wio should have
been elected In 1603 will cover only foui
years , The lirst election In Utah cannot
occur until November of next year , so that
the election of a senator from that would-

WASHINGTON , Oct. 25. The Hawaiian
government Is considering the advisability of
securing a permanent legation residence In
the northwestern part of Washington which
Wll be commensurate with the Importance of
Its representation In the United States.
Charge Hastings , who has been In charge
of Hewalan affairs for twelve months out
of the sixteen fclnce the new Hawaiian gov
ernment was formed , Is hopeful that the
change will be made. lie has recommended
It , owing to the fact * that the leg.itlon to
the United States Is the only one of Impor
tance that Hawaii maintains , that to Japan
being of tester consequence , and the consul
at Kurope , bflng largely -honorary.
Hcferrlng to the London cables giving
British expressions of dissatisfaction In full-
Ing to Rccure Necker Island of the Hawaiian
group for a landing station for ( he Drill ? ) !
cable , .Mr. Hastings says : "The Interests of
Hawaii are BO closely linked with the United
States that It Is to be hoped ( hat cable con
ncctlons will be made between them. Ha
wall will no doubt look with favor on siKli t.
connection nnd a subsidy of $25,000 annually
has been allowed toward that end. A thor
oughly priujlU-able route has been located by
the United States coast and geodetic suive.\

\VASHINQTON \ , Oct. 23 Secretary Car-
Hale , In answer to a letter of Inquiry from
a tlrm of distillers at Louisville , Ky. , has
held that lil ky In a customs bonded ware
house cannot bo withdrawn without pay
ment of duty and deposited In n. distillery
bondeil warehouse , thereby extending the
bonded period eight years In addition to
the period allowed on whisky In customs
bin ded warehouses. The Inference , there
fore , is that whisky once deposited In a cus
toms warehouse cannot be withdrawn for
any purpose or at any time and deposited In
, i distillery warehouse.

Fullurn Iti-nlnl. i
The members of the committees nnd the
of the subcommittees , appolntnl
some time ngo to carry on the Platte river
canal campaign , met in the Commercial club
rooms hit night. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The first thing that came up for consldera-
tlor. was the letter of Judge Gaslln. which
appeared In last night's Kec , declaring that
tlio Kearney canal was a failure. To refute
the statement made by Mr. Gaslln In his
letter , Juan Boyle of Kearney explained the
Kltuul.on. He said the cotton mill , when It
vvus oppiatlug , was using nearly l.GOO horse
| io cr , it wits owned by eastern capitalists ,
uud would be In operation again within fix
\\ccUs. The shutdown \\ne merely for mak
ing repairs , and when started again It would
bo the finest in the country.
J.iibt tpr ng Kearney voted } CO,000 to the
Frank company , and last week the bonds
were old In New York for $57,000 , a dis
count of but Jlt.OOO. Since last spring there
had been plenty of water In the canal , not-
lih tundlng the fact that the river was
dry nt Grand Island. The contract with the
cuiial company , he Bald , provided for 9,000
burae power , all of which wa there , coming
from the underllow , The Intention , he ealil ,
wu to depend ent rely upon the underllow
lo # had sometimes Interfered with the work
ings uf the canal , but ulth the ditch In
creased In sire , there would be a < leptb of
nine feet of water tntlead of four , and the
lc > illttlculty would be removed ,
| Mr lloylfl denied the ttatement that the
, canal was dry nl th > present time. Instead
i of thla he sad that there was more water
than ever before. Hiving finished his etate-

Two hundred members of St. John's lodge
No. 2E , A. P. a A. M. . with a sprinkling of
representatives of the grand lodge , and vis
itors from sister lodges of the city , celebrated
the quarter centennial of the institution of
St. John's lodge last night at Masonic hall ,
The lodge met In regular session In the
commandery room of the temple , with Wor
shipful Master W. W Keysor presiding.
After dispatching business , the brethren filed
Into the banquet room , on the second floor ,
vhero a feast was spread In honor ot the
Iver anniversary. Not In the Masonic his-
ory ot Omaha has there been so noticeable
an assembly of Masons prompted by the
elcbratlon of a local lodge , which fact was
remarked by several of the speakers "over
he walnuts ntid the wine. " Planking Judge
{ eysor , who cfllclated as toast master , were
mst grand masters of the grand lodge cf
Nebraska , Episcopal and Methodist ministers ,
representative business men , an ex-United
States treasurer , and a host of lesser lights ,
> ut sufllcently well known and honored
hroughout the community.
The tables were prettily decorated with
lowers and palms , chrysanthemums being
largely In evidence to givea floral llrc-
.vorks tinge to the banquet hall , which was
crowded by the members of St. John's
edge , who had come out to assist In the
; eneral Jubilation aver the passing of the
: wenty-nrth milestone , St. John's having
been chartered October 25 , I860 , a rather
remarkable coincidence being that the
wenty-flfth anniversary should fall upon the
25th of the month.

tarn :

Charles K Content paid a glowing tribute

being considered by the speaker as the grand
achievement of a man's life , although he
might receive other degrees nnd other hon
ors , but the degree of master Mason was
the crowning triumph In n paternal organi
zation. He spoke of the enduring character
of Masonry , and drew beautiful pictures from
the lessons which Masonry teaches.
James W. Carr gave the statistical color
to the evening , although the matter -was
ilccly put , the members showing a 'profound
interest In the men who early became as
sociated with St. John's lodge , among whom
were A. U. Wyman , L. A. Harmon. George

Their voices blended splendidly together ,
their execution was good and their rendition

On the whole the evening1 was noteworthy ,
made so by the occasion which called , the
brethren together and the fraternal , kindly
spirit which prevailed.

Long years ago Frederick Schnell was con
sidered one of Iho rich men of this city ,
but when the boom came on he loaded up
with real estate , and not being able to realize
before the reaction set In , most of his prop
erty was sold by the sheriff , though when
he died on December 9 , 1893 , he had cash
and other evidences of his former wealth ,
which aggregated some $ COO , which by the
terms of a will was bequeathed to llobert
Prelss , a saloon man In the vicinity of Fort
Omaha.
For a time prior to his death Schnell had
been rooming In a flat at the- corner of Thir
teenth and Howard strcts , but a few days 1)3-
forche passed away ho was taken up to the
home of Preiss. 1'rciss notified the children
of Frederick Schnell that ( heir father was
dead and an Investigation followed. They
found that Prelss had secured a will In
which the elder Schnell had left him nil of
the property. This document they claimed
was obtained by fraud and at once an action
was commenced In the probate court to set It
aside. There the ease was heard ami Judge
Baxter rendered a decision to the offcct that
there was fraud and that when the document
was executed the old man was not In his right
mind. The case was appealed by Prclss , who
is now trying to convince the Jury that
Schnell cut his children off without a shil
ling.

Aaron Burr, George M. Dallas, and James Kirk were the targets of the most recent execution of the lot, and will be put in place, as was done in the case of Vice President Morton, before his retirement from office. The bust was executed in stone, and has been highly praised by those who have inspected it in the office of the supervising architect at the Capitol.

Polk, John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, William McKinley, John C. Breckinridge, Andrew Johnson, and Schuyler Colfax. The busts are provided under an act of Congress in 1886, which limits the cost to $1000 each.
The Supreme Court has under consideration a case involving the interests of the Delawares in the money arising from the sale of lands lying west of the ninety-sixth meridian, recently sold to the United States by the Cherokee. The present case is that of the Cherokee nation against the principal chief of the Delawares, Charles Jones Neyokla by name. It is nominally for a certain proportion of the proceeds from certain lands claimed to be due the Delawares from the Cherokees, but the adjudication of this point still depends on whether or not the claims of the Delawares to an interest in the proceeds of the western lands will be decided in their favor. If the case should be decided favorably to the Delawares, it is claimed by their attorneys that a decision would make clear their right to one-fifth of the proceeds of the sale of the Cherokee lands, amounting to $1,500,000, which has been withheld from payment until the determination of the Delaware claim. The claim has been argued in the Supreme Court and a decision may be expected within the next few weeks.

The inference is that whisky once deposited in a customs warehouse cannot be withdrawn for any purpose or at any time and deposited in a distillery warehouse.

CANAL COMMITTEES MEET. The members of the committees and the subcommittees, appointed some time ago to carry on the Platte river canal campaign, met in the Commercial club rooms tonight.
The first thing that came up for consideration was the letter of Judge Gaslin, which appeared in last night's Bee, declaring that the Kearney canal was a failure. To refute the statement made by Mr. Gaslin in his letter, John Boyle of Kearney explained the situation. He said the cotton mill, when it was operating, was using nearly 1600 horses, it was owned by eastern capitalists, and would be in operation again within six weeks. The shutdown was merely for making repairs, and when started again it would be the finest in the country.
Just over two thousand votes were cast for the Frank Keating Company, and last week the bonds were sold in New York for $57,000, a discount of $13,000. Since last spring there had been plenty of water in the canal, notwithstanding the fact that the river was dry at Grand Island. The contract with the canal company, he said, provided for 9,000 horsepower, all of which was there, coming from the underflow. The intention, he claimed, was to depend entirely upon the underflow to power the canal, which sometimes interfered with the workings of the canal, but with the ditch increased in size, there would be a depth of nine feet of water instead of four, and the little difficulty would be removed.
Mr. Keylor denied the statement that the canal was dry at the present time. Instead of this, he said that there was more water than ever before. Having finished his statement, Mr. Keylor was tendered a vote of thanks, and the committee and subcommittee went into executive session.
ST. JOHN'S LODGE OF MASON'S CELEBRATES ITS TWENTY-SIXTH ANNIVERSARY.
BANQUET FOLLOWED BY TOASTS
After the feast was followed by the toasts:
Welcome by W. W. Keysor.
"The Grand Lodge of Nebraska"; response, Charles K. Content, P.G.M.
"In Absence," Rudolph Stock.
"St. John's Lodge"; response, James W. Carr.
"Our Membership in the Celestial Lodge Above"; response, Edgar C. Snyder.
"Forlorn Hope," Roschack.
"Within and Without"; response, William S. Annan.
"Good Night."
Charles K. Content paid a glowing tribute to the blue lodge, the master Mason's degree being considered by the speaker as the grand achievement of a man's life, although he might receive other degrees and other honors, but the degree of master Mason was the crowning triumph in a paternal organization. He spoke of the enduring character of Masonry, and drew beautiful pictures from the lessons which Masonry teaches.
James W. Carr gave the statistical color to the evening, although the matter was delicately put, the members showing a profound interest in the men who early became associated with St. John's lodge, among whom were A. U. Wyman, L. A. Harmon, George Stratman, and others, many of whom were present. Mr. Snyder and Mr. Annan closed the set of toasts, although when they got through, Toastmaster Keysor called upon Rev. T. J. Mackay, Mr. Wyman, Mr. Harmon, Mr. Stratman, Mr. Unger, Mr. Hartman, and others for impromptu speeches, which were forthcoming.
A by no means small feature of the evening was the very creditable work done by the quartet, Messrs. A. J. Van Kuran, first tenor; Edgar B. Treat, second tenor; William S. McCance, first bass; and J. P. Barton, second bass; and all members of the lodge. Their voices blended splendidly together, their execution was good and their rendition of Dudley Buck's "In Absence" and "Forlorn Hope" by Roschack was particularly artistic.
On the whole, the evening was noteworthy, made so by the occasion which called the brethren together and the fraternal, kindly spirit which prevailed.
THE OLD SPACIN' OF TELEGRAPHY.
Is that established between the brain and the nerves, which transmit Instantaneously to the great organ of sensation and thought every shock they experience. These electric shocks are very vivid, painful and disturbing when the nerves are weak. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters strengthens, soothes, and renders the nerves tranquil. It induces sleep, sound digestion and appetite, and conquers biliousness, malaria, rheumatism and kidney trouble.
JUDGED SCHNEIDER'S PROPERTY.
After a hot argument in Judge Blair's court, the judge and twelve jurors are trying to determine who is entitled to a dead man's shoes.
Long years ago, Frederick Schnell was considered one of the rich men of this city, but when the boom came on, he loaded up with real estate, and not being able to realize before the reaction set in, most of his property was sold by the sheriff, though when he died on December 9, 1893, he had cash and other evidences of his former wealth, which aggregated some $600, which by the terms of a will was bequeathed to Robert Press, a saloon man in the vicinity of Fort Omaha.
For a time prior to his death, Schnell had been rooming in a flat at the corner of Thirteenth and Howard streets, but a few days before he passed away, he was taken up to the home of Press. Press notified the children of Frederick Schnell that their father was dead and an investigation followed. They found that Press had secured a will in which the elder Schnell had left him all of the property. This document they claimed was obtained by fraud and at once an action was commenced in the probate court to set it aside. There the case was heard and Judge Baxter rendered a decision to the effect that there was fraud and that when the document was executed, the old man was not in his right mind. The case was appealed by Press, who is now trying to convince the jury that Schnell cut his children off without a shilling.
SACRUM IN ATTORNEY
The criminal section of the district court aided and abetted by a jury is trying to determine the guilt of Edward P. Morearety, an attorney, who is charged with forgery. The information in the case charges that some months ago some creditors took a trunk full of clothing from a woman who happened to be Morearety's client and that the same was turned over to Constable MI Kenzle of East Omaha precinct for safekeeping until the issues were fully determined. After the constable had been the keeper of the trunk for a few days, Morearety presented an order for the trunk and got the same. Afterwards it is claimed that the trunk was awarded as evidence in a case against the prisoner.
FOUND GUILTY OF LARCENY
In the district court this morning, John L. McAvoy was found guilty of burglary, the specified charge being that he broke into John Shaw's barn to rob a hen coop.
The case of the indictment against Fred M. Grantham was called for trial in the criminal court yesterday and continued until the next term, the defendant entering into bonds of $1,500 for his appearance at that time. Grantham is charged with having embezzled the sum of $1,600 from Commonwealth, Smiley & Co., a South Omaha commission company. On this charge he was arrested and given a hearing on September 12, 1893, before Justice Smith of this city.
Warren Switzer has secured a temporary order, restraining the American Water Works Company from shutting off the water at his premises at 804 St. Mary's Avenue, in his petition he alleges that on July 1 of the present year he paid the water works people the sum of $22.14, and that it was then agreed that the amount was to be in full compensation for water until December 31, 1894. A few days ago, he avers, that he received a notice that if the sum of $1.75 was not paid at once the water would be shut off.
With the exhilarating sense of renewed health and strength and internal cleanliness which follows the use of Syrup of Figs is unknown to the few who have not progressed beyond the old time remedies and the cheap substitutes sometimes offered, but never accomplished by the well-informed. Syrup of Figs for a winter's involution.
The house of Simonson & Vodicka has been divided against itself, and already John Simonson has sued his partner, V. L. Vodicka, for a dissolution. The two men have been operating a lodging, eating and drinking house on South Thirteenth Street, but now John has jumped into the courts, where he has secured an order appointing the sheriff as a temporary receiver, to take full charge of the business. The plaintiff alleges that his partner has taken large sums of money from the firm, and that he has been running the house in a manner which suited his own fancy.

DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF
Hopublican Btata Committee Hampered by
Quarrels Among the Members.
CHAIRMAN MORRILL ONLY AFl'USEHE O
I.litlo Authority Among tlie Council * at
thc.Mlllnril-INiodoocil by In It. it it ,
Organ Anything tu * * ni.o loin
tlio Present I'lun.
The gloom that has for days pervaded the
he-adquartcrs of ( ho Majors managers Is
deepening , nnd , In fact , a regular pall has
Ecttlcd down In the neighborhood ot the Millard -
lard The feeling of distress is plainly manthr
I feat In the countenances of candidates , man
agers and hireling * ! , and Is tven finding ex
pression In words not spoken In whispers
Tliero IB disaffection In the ranks of the
workers right In headquarters , and the
house Is divided agulnst itself. The Inevita
ble fall IB acknowledged , and the managers
are now trying to shift the blame for defeat
from their uliouldcra lo those of others. The
principal factor that has brought about this
state of affairs Is admitted by all to be the
vulnerability of the gubernatorial candidate ,
but many other contributory causes are al
leged by the managers. It U right here
that the rub comes In , and the way that
Borne members of tlie committee are rubW.
bins It In on their fellow workers Is enough
to- make an outsider smile.
Chairman Morrlll has. not had things all
his own way down ut the Mlllnrd rooms.
While nominally the head of the committee ,
IIP has been a figurehead In many of the
schemes that have boon worked In the cffor
fort to make votoa for the tattooed man
For one thing , the direction of the work of
the literary bureau was taken away from
him nt the beginning of the campaign , and
IIH | protests agilnst the course pursued by
this branch of the serv ce have availed
nothing In speaking of this matter to a
friend Wednesday night , Mr. Morrlll declared
that the greitest mistake of the campaign
managers wan In making the U & M Jour
nal the oltlcl.il organ of the committee He
asserted that lituas not to blame In the
matter , for H had been taken completely out
| " - * of his hands. Mr. Merrill also emphatically
declared that If he had had control of the
matter not a single Lincoln Journal would
have been circulated In Omaha by the com
mittee for he believed that the paper had
( lone twice as much harm In this city as it
had done good Kvery copy that foil Into
the hands of a worklngman , he said , was like
waving a red rag In front of n bull A little
extract fiont the republican Lincoln News of
Thursday furnishes a clew to why Mr. Mor
rlll expressed himself that way. If any clew
Is needed This li what the News Buys-
H. A M. JOrHNAL'S SHYLOCK
Anothet of the amusing things about the
campaign Is the simulated horror dlxplnyed
by the managing editor of the Journal ever
the dlt-covery thnt Holcomb a few years
ago wan guilty of loaning money ut from
3 to 10 per ctnt a month. This la all the
mote side-splitting when It In recalled thnt
just about the mime time Ihe managing ed
itor of Hit Jouinnl vins engaged In loaning
money to the prlnteis In hlH employ at 10
per cent u week
To show Ihe exact Interest In the campaign
which is entertained by the H & M Journal
people , another extract from the News Is
pertinent , as follows :
If any one has nny doubt that the News
< lld not speak tinly when some weeks .Inci *
It pointed out nnd proved that the Journal
wus not a lepubllcan new.spapei. but that
It was espousing lepublleanlsm because
tin-re was money In It , we need only point
to the fact thnt the republican state cen
tral committee II.IH appropriated hovcrul
thousand dollars for the purpose of giving
ficcdlNtilbutlon to thnt pap ° r lu Omaha
and other doubtful constituencies. While
we- doubt veiy much the wisdom of the
committee'H action In distributing n notoil-
ouuly "Hcuh" newspaper nnd blttei enemy to
orgnnl7L'd labor In such u strong union
town UH Omaha , we refer to this ln < Ident
merely lo show that we cpoke the tiulli
When v.e stilted that that sheet espoused
nothing thut theie wasn't nny inonev In
The News Is not at all KOIC because the
committee It not purchasing any newspapein
from It , for the reason thnl Its own em
ployes and not the1 employes of the commit
tee are editing the paper and keeping It
out of Ihe rnlre Into which politics neces
sarily drugs those who go In lor It strongly
ANYTHING TO SAVE TOM
Another little matter that Is causing dis
sension In the state committee Is the dis
covery of a plan to trade off legislative ! can
didates for votes for Tattooed Tom. There
nro men on the committee who utterly re
fuse to bo parties , to this deal , and so trouble
la heaped upon heap Wh.n the plot was
broached to oneof the members he- throw
up his hands and declared that bofora he
would bo a part ] ' to the scheme he would re
sign from the committee. It was then given
out that If the deal did not go through then'
would be no more USB In working for Hu
rl vtlou of Majors , and the committee might
\\ollrpilt scheming fnr him and devote Its
energies to securing the election ot a repub
lican legislature This plan has Impressed n
number of members of the committee favor
ably and It Is biMlevevd lh.it It will be
carried out , even if Instructions have not al
ready been sent to the chairmen df the
county central committees throughout ( he
state. The republican newspapers In the
country towns have evidently been let Into
the deal , for almost without exception they
ha MI failed this wcfik to contain matter
favorable ta Majors , but have been full of
appeals to elect the legislative tlck ° t.
Away down deep there Is said to bo BOIIIP-
thlng moro back ot the gubornatorlnl-Ieglb-
latlvo deal It rumored that a gentleman
who Is a candidate * , for the ponntorshlp has
served notice on the committee ! that be does
not propose to be sold out.

An appropriate poem , was recited by Miss

It seemed as If he was greeted with one con

wonderful Increase In the wealth of the
United States , which amounted to more under
the thirty years of republican rule than for
210 years , before , beginning1 with the landing

BCRLIN , Oct. 26. A great stir -was caured
In well Informed circles thla afternoon by a
telegram from Cologne giving the substance
of an article In the
seml-odlclil Cologne Ga
zette which stated that Chancellor von
Caprivl and Count Bothozcu Kuhlenbcrg
president of the Prussian council of minis
ters , had resigned. It has been known lor
ionic time past there has been considerable
tension between the chancellor and Kuhlen-
berg owing to the former's views In , regard
to the measures to be submitted to the
Itclchstag for the repression of socialists.
The chancellor Is In favor of pursuing a
moJeiute policy while Euhlcnbjrg believes
In the adoption ot radical measure * to obtain
the end sought It was BO d that at the rc-
cent meeting of the Prussian council , held to
consider the question of the repressive meas
ures , a majority of the ministers supported
Caprlvi'a views , but whether or not this is
true Is greatly a matter of conjecture At
any rate those who are supposed lo be gen
erally well Informed as to the situation place
credence In the Colonge Gazette's statement
that both officials have resigned. The Ga-
lelto i added that the chancellor tendered
his : resignation to Emperor William on Tues
day , but that I' was only accepted at an
audience given by his majesty to Caprivl
today. <
A rumor Is In circulation that Dr Johannes
Miqucl , Prussian minister of flnanc ° . will be
appointed chancellor In succession to
Caprivl. But this report Is declared on
good authority to be unfouitded. U Is
known as a fact that Caprvl's resignation
has been accepted by Emperor William. The
resignation of Huhlenberg lias not b en tiu-
cepted. It has be n learned that the chan
cellor resigned before a meeting of represen
tative statesmen of the federal states , which
was held this afternoon This meeting
showed the existence of great discord re
garding the proposed antl-revolut onary bill
KuhlenbcrR thereupon resigned Thus con
fronted by the double resignation , Emperor
William abandoned his proposed visit to
Ulankcnburg , for which place he was to
have started this afternoon The fact the
etnperoi has given up his trip was an
nounced In the oniclal Kclchsanzelger w thout
explanation
CAPRIVI INSISTED.
The emperor gave an audience to Caprivl
and endeavored to Induce him to withdraw
his resignation , but the chancellor was ob
durate and refused to do so The emperor
remained at the cast ) : until a late hour con
sulting with Uuhlenberg , Ur. Mlu.uel .and

LONDON , Oct. 26 A dispatch to the
Times from Ilerlln says Emperor Wlllhm
has acecnt d the resignations of both Caprivl
and Euhlenberg. Such a startling announce
ment has taken the political world In Berlin
completely ( by surprise That for months
past the chancellor's adversaries had been
straining every nerve to effect hl& downfall
was well known , and though It may be less
generally known , tliero can be no doubt that
about a fortnight ago , they had reason to
believe their object had been attained. But
when Caprlvl returned from Klseengen he
had once more access to the emperor , from
whom he had been separated for a consider
able time during the summer holidays and
the situation gradually changed. He ex
plained his views to Ihe emperor and pointed
out with so much cogency the dangers of
extreme measures for the repression of the
socialists , which measures might open a
fresh era of Internal conflict , that Ills argu
ments , for the time at least undoubted y
carried conviction. Ills friends and oppon-
cnts are agreed in stating that his opinions
prevailed with the emperor and that even
Guhlenberg , the chief advocate of more
vigorous measures , E.IVV himself abandoned
by Ids own Immediate colleagues In the
Prussian council.
CHANOn OF SCRNE SINCE TUESDAY.
The Times correspondent says "I
have the best authority for reporting that as
late as Tuesday last the emperor , during
Caprlv "Blslt to him , gave him the fullest
assurance of his entire confidence and his
approval of his policy which he. the chan
cellor , was about to submit to the leading
minister of the federal states , especially
summoned to Berlin for that purpose. It was
only yesterday that these ministers held
their conferences under the pres'dency of
Caprivl So unanimous was their approval \
of his program , so entirely were lliey un
aware of any Impending change , that they !
disposed of the business in one sitting and
most of them left the capital again , c ther
last night or this morning. Therefore It will
bo readily understood that In political cir
cles , whether frisndly or unfriendly rlo
Caprlvi , there Is absolutely no explanation
for the reasons which led to the sudden
coup de theatre , and that it Is Idle to specu
late at present on the contequences.
"I am assured on good authority that Hi °
Issue I turned upon personal questions quite
] In commensurate with the grave results
which are Involved S nee hla visit lo Caprivl
the emperor has been His guest of Count
Philip von Euhlenuerg , the German ambas-
tadur to Vienna , whose brothers , the Prus
sian premier and the marshal of ceremonies ' ,
were staying at the same time at
Llebenuers It might , therefore be In
ferred" that the emperor had yielded to
the Influences brought to bear upon him by
the Euhlenberg family , with which ho has al-
ways entertained relations of Intimate Irlend-
ihlp. but the fact that his majesty has now also
accepted Jho resignation of Count Uothozeu
von Euhlenbsrg which , It
was understood , was
offered a few days ago and declined , hardly
bears out such an inference
There Is
lea-
son to believe that an unavailing attempt
on the part of the emperor to compose the
differences between the chancellor and Euhlen-
berg was one of Ihe causes that determined
his momentous decision but It csn hardly .
be doubted that there were other caua.es ,
which It Is impossible at present to elucidate
which led to the resignations. Speculation leIs
UFO ! as to CaprlvI's possible successor. Ur
.Mlquel , General von Schelllngdorff. minister
of war. nnd General Count von Waldersee arc
fcpoken of , but hope or fear ia chiefly lather of
the thought. "

CHEMULPO , , Oct. 2(5 ( Dispatches dated
midnight , give particulars of a battle be
tween the Chinese and Japanese , fought
across the Yalu. river. General Nodsu , the
Japanese chief of staff , It appears , succeeded
In getting the main body of the Japanese
nriny across the Yalu river without mishap
before day light on Thursday. Then Colonel
Sato was sent forward at the head of a
Hying column on a reconnolterlng expedition
and ho discovered the enemy occupying a
fortified position near the village of rushang.
on the right bank of the Yalu In spite of
the fact that lie had no artillery at Ills dis
posal Colonel Sato nt once commenced tin
attack upon the Chinese and a fierce fight
followed. The Chinese fought desperately
and stubbornly The attack began at 10
o clock In the morning and lasted until noon ,
when the Chinese began to waver and event
ually retired In great disorder , falling back
upon Kullenchas.
The troops , commanded by Colonel Sato ,
after the Chlneso had retired , set to work
upon the deniollshtnent ot the fortifications
of Kushang. Inside the fortifications they
found 200 Chinese. The Japanese also
captured ' a number of prisoners , among
whom was n Chinese olllcer , who stated that
the position was held by eighteen battalions
of Chinese troops The Japanese , escorting
their prisoners , then marched In the direction
of General NoJsu's main body , with the Inten
tion of rejoining
The number of Chinese wounded Is not
krown. The Japanese lost five olllcors and
ninety men wounded
Later dispatches said that the Chinese out
posts are fallng back upon Kullenchas where
It Is expected thnt the only really deter
mined stand of the Chinese. In Manchuria
will lie made
It H understood that rield Marshal
Ysmagatn's plans are completed In every de
tail for Inflicting what lie hopes will turn
out to be a crushing blow upon the Chinese.
Several columns of Japanese troops are act
ing In concert after the manner adopted by
the Japanese commander at the battle of
1'hiK-Vang and It Is expected that they will
deliver a simultaneous attack upon the
Chinese position by midnight on Saturday ,
thus enabling the Japanese attack to be de
livered nt dawn on Sunday lut If the
Japanese columns succeed In occupying the
position assigned them previous to midnight
on Saturday It Is believed that the attack will
be delivered at the canlcst pots'ble moment.
Some doubts are expressed among the Japan
ese commanders as to the reported btrenglh
of the Chinese position at Kullenchas , and
General Nodfcii Is said to be not quite
certain himself , as epics and prisoners have
furnished various reports on the subject. II
Is reported that the Clilnebo batteries at
Kullenchas have been Increased from three
to eleven , but , on the other hand , rumor has
It that It Is extremely doubtful whether all
these batteries are fully armed.
All reports Join In saying tlat | csprlt-dc-

the Japanese troops are
excellent and It Is said to be the universal
ambition of all classes of the service to
capture Moukden before the birthday of the

the sand hills in this vicinity are doing Im
mense damage. The flames are traveling
with almost lightning rapidity and are con-
binning every thing In their track. Last night
the fire was driven by the wind through the
central , portion of Sheridan nnd Cherry coun
ties. In the track , of the flames were the
big Osboino and Spade ranches , and a num
ber of snnllcr ones This morning not a
vestige of these ranches remains except the
bare and scorched ground
At noon the fire Is reported to have reached
Pullman , and the whole country In that nelgh-
irhood Is a raging furnace It Is not known
liether any lives were lost today , but thou-
anils of head of cattle have perished Pco-

DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF
Republican State Committee Hampered by Quarrels Among the Members.
CHAIRMAN MORRILL ONLY A FIGUREHEAD
Little Authority Among the Council at the Millard-Nicolai by In It, it is,
Organ Anything to join the Present Plan.
The gloom that has for days pervaded the headquarters of the Major managers is deepening, and, in fact, a regular pall has settled down in the neighborhood of the Millard. The feeling of distress is plainly manifest in the countenances of candidates, managers, and hirelings, and is even finding expression in words not whispered. There is disaffection in the ranks of the workers right in headquarters, and the house is divided against itself. The inevitable fall is acknowledged, and the managers are now trying to shift the blame for defeat from their shoulders to those of others. The principal factor that has brought about this state of affairs is admitted by all to be the vulnerability of the gubernatorial candidate, but many other contributory causes are alleged by the managers. It is right here that the rub comes in, and the way that some members of the committee rub shoulders with their fellow workers is enough to make an outsider smile.
Chairman Morrill has not had things all his own way down at the Millard rooms. While nominally the head of the committee, he has been a figurehead in many of the schemes that have been worked in the effort to make votes for the tattooed man. For one thing, the direction of the work of the literary bureau was taken away from him at the beginning of the campaign, and his protests against the course pursued by this branch of the service have availed nothing. Speaking of this matter to a friend Wednesday night, Mr. Morrill declared that the greatest mistake of the campaign managers was in making the U & M Journal the official organ of the committee. He asserted that he was not to blame in the matter, for he had been taken completely out of his hands. Mr. Morrill also emphatically declared that if he had had control of the matter, not a single Lincoln Journal would have been circulated in Omaha by the committee, for he believed that the paper had done twice as much harm in this city as it had done good. Every copy that fell into the hands of a workingman, he said, was like waving a red rag in front of a bull. A little extract from the Republican Lincoln News of Thursday furnishes a clue to why Mr. Morrill expressed himself that way. If any clue is needed, this is what the News says:
H.A.M. JOURNAL'S SHYLOCK
Another of the amusing things about the campaign is the simulated horror displayed by the managing editor of the Journal ever since the discovery that Holcomb a few years ago was guilty of loaning money at from 3 to 10 percent a month. This is all the more side-splitting when it is recalled that just about the same time the managing editor of the Journal was engaged in loaning money to the printers in his employ at 10 percent a week.
To show the exact interest in the campaign which is entertained by the H & M Journal people, another extract from the News is pertinent, as follows:
If anyone has any doubt that the News did not speak truly when some weeks ago it pointed out and proved that the Journal was not a Republican newspaper, but that it was espousing Republicanism because there was money in it, we need only point to the fact that the Republican state central committee had appropriated several thousand dollars for the purpose of giving fictitious distribution to that paper in Omaha and other doubtful constituencies. While we doubt very much the wisdom of the committee's action in distributing a primarily "News" newspaper and blighting an enemy to organized labor in such a strong union town as Omaha, we refer to this in identity merely to show that we spoke the truth. When we stated that that sheet espoused nothing that there wasn't any money in, The News is not at all worried because the committee is not purchasing any newspapers from it, for the reason that its own employees and not the employees of the committee are editing the paper and keeping it out of the fire into which politics necessarily drags those who go in for it strongly.
ANYTHING TO SAVE TOM
Another little matter that is causing dissension in the state committee is the discovery of a plan to trade off legislative candidates for votes for Tattooed Tom. There are men on the committee who utterly refuse to be parties to this deal, and so trouble is heaped upon heap. When the plot was broached to one of the members, he threw up his hands and declared that before he would be a part in the scheme, he would resign from the committee. It was then given out that if the deal did not go through, there would be no more use in working for the election of Major, and the committee might well be scheming for him and devote its energies to securing the election of a Republican legislature. This plan has impressed a number of members of the committee favorably, and it is believed that it will be carried out, even if instructions have not already been sent to the chairmen of the county central committees throughout the state. The Republican newspapers in the country towns have evidently been let into the deal, for almost without exception, they have failed this week to contain matter favorable to Major, but have been full of appeals to elect the legislative ticket.
Away down deep, there is said to be something more back of the gubernatorial-legislative deal. It is rumored that a gentleman who is a candidate for the secretaryship has served notice on the committee that he does not propose to be sold out.
HELPS NONE AND HURTS ALL.
The effect of the alleged Business Men's association on the jobbing trade of Omaha is being seen more and more every day. The Springfield Monitor says:
A traveling man for a wholesale grocery house in Omaha who makes this ten-fold way says that he has been roasted all along the line by merchants on account of the firm he represents having signed with the Business Men's association of Nebraska to try and bolster up Tom Majors for governor.
The Daily Pilot, republican, devotes nearly a column to the business men's communication and now it is that numerous smooth-tongued, filled-tongue gentlemen from Omaha are being sent across the country to tell the common herd how to vote. These men are the paid agents of the bankers' association of Omaha, sent out through the county to divert the votes of the people from convincing their own honest convictions to the suppositions of the edicts of Wall Street. These partisan people exhibit a most intense interest in the dear people, now, as they are about to cast their votes, and they will appear at every roadside with honeyed words and bundles in their pockets to try and make the farmers and citizens believe that black is white and while is black. Do not be deceived by these mild manipulators nor let them work you. Give them the cold shoulder at every turn; then, from opinions formed in the exclusion of your own homes and by consultation with your neighbors, men whom you know and who have no interest in deceiving you - vote your sincere beliefs, whatever they may be, with the full assurance that the country will still be safe. The man who votes his own honest convictions, without permitting any one to bribe or persuade or induce him into changing, will best encourage party purity and good government at all levels - county, state and nation.
But this is not all. Watch (the fellows in your own community. The powers of darkness are being invoked by the boodle gang in this county to corrupt voters and to change the mentality of honest men. These men are republicans for revenue and political purposes only, and they cannot consistently hold the party lash over anybody. Honest voters will not be deceived by the tricks and treachery they represent.
The drama reporter, republican, has this warring:
Heavenly how you vote for governor. The nonofficial Business Men's organization would have you believe Majors to handle the state's finance, and yet not one of the businessmen would allow the wily Tom to handle their private cash. And as to Selcombe, whatever be said of him, he has never been accused of being dishonest.
OUR BUSINESS MEN.
The three or four men who seem to have taken the lead in the organization of the alleged business men's association at Lincoln have been convicted of further frauds in making up the list of members as published in the Daily & Morning Journal. The Bee's Lincoln correspondent furnishes the following information:
Reports from those whose names appeared on the list of businessmen published in the local morning paper as opposed to the election of the populists are still coming in. A local evening paper contained this evening the following:
"We notice our name heading a list of businessmen published in the various city papers, which prompts us to state that the list is done wholly without our consent or authority. We are not mixing business with politics. HARRISBURG DINES.
"Lincoln, October 20."
"Ploughshare the name of Paine, Ware & Humstead from the businessmen's list as published yesterday
"It was placed in the list evidently through a mistake

"MitMii.il Political Meeting boiutraily: | Denver
"city. WAYNE, Neb. Oct 20. (Special Telegram) One of the finest treats the citizens of Wayne county have had during the campaign occurred through the visit of John Drennan of Sioux City to the precincts of Wayne today. A delegation of republicans and the Wayne Corn Palace band met the distinguished speaker at the train this afternoon and escorted him to the hotel. An excursion train arrived from Kimball and Wakefield at 6:10, bringing a delegation of republicans. Tonight a large torchlight demonstration occurred in connection with the bicycle procession.
"Fully 1,000 people assembled at the opera house, which had been beautifully decorated, and upon the stage were seated many ladies of Wayne. Music by the glee club brought forth applause.
"An appropriate poem, was recited by Miss Delia Took, after which Mr. Drennan was introduced by Chairman Fuller. The speaker was given a splendid ovation. Mr. Brennan was at his best, and from beginning to end it seemed as if he was greeted with one continuous round of applause. He spoke of the wonderful increase in the wealth of the United States, which amounted to more under the thirty years of republican rule than for 210 years before, beginning with the landing of the Pilgrim fathers. He also spoke of the $275,000,000 of national debt that had been paid during the administration of Benjamin Harrison. His speech was one of the ablest, interesting, and logical ever heard in the city, and it is estimated that at least 50 republican votes were made by the address.
"COMMITTEE ON BUSINESS SUGGESTIONS.
"HIS to Aid the Canal Company's Candidates Among Independent Republicans.
"ST. PAUL, Neb. Oct. 26. (Special.) P. W. Collins and R. B. Moore addressed a large crowd at the opera house last night. Mr. Collins' speech was mainly directed against Holcomb and the populist candidate for governor, whom he abused and termed as a money shark, and said that while honest Tom was busy in the legislature in 1891 to affect the passage of a usury law, Holcomb was loaning money out in Custer county at 10 percent a month. He praised Tom in glowing terms. Senator Moore's speech was an argument in favor of sound money and good government, and showed the danger contained in the doctrine of unsound money, be it paper or silver.
"Congressman O. M. Kray and O. D. Campbell, county attorney of Custer county, addressed a large audience at the court house yesterday afternoon. Kray spoke for nearly two hours, and, notwithstanding the stormy weather, the court house was packed.

VON CAPRIVI HAS RESIGNED
Following that game, the resignation of Count Eulenberg,
RELUCTANTLY ACCEPTED BY THE EMPEROR
Differences of opinion led to Antisubmarine's, which led to high Maine Time, the cause
BERLIN, Oct. 26. A great stir was caused in well-informed circles this afternoon by a telegram from Cologne giving the substance of an article in the semiofficial Cologne Gazette which stated that Chancellor von Caprivi and Count Botho von Eulenberg, president of the Prussian council of ministers, had resigned. It has been known for some time past there has been considerable tension between the chancellor and Eulenberg owing to the former's views in regard to the measures to be submitted to the Reichstag for the repression of socialists. The chancellor is in favor of pursuing a moderate policy while Eulenberg believes in the adoption of radical measures to obtain the end sought. It was said that at the recent meeting of the Prussian council, held to consider the question of the repressive measures, a majority of the ministers supported Caprivi's views, but whether or not this is true is greatly a matter of conjecture. At any rate, those who are supposed to be generally well informed as to the situation place credence in the Cologne Gazette's statement that both officials have resigned. The Gazette added that the chancellor tendered his resignation to Emperor William on Tuesday, but that it was only accepted at an audience given by his majesty to Caprivi today.
A rumor is in circulation that Dr. Johannes Miquel, Prussian minister of finance, will be appointed chancellor in succession to Caprivi. But this report is declared on good authority to be unfounded. It is known as a fact that Caprivi's resignation has been accepted by Emperor William. The resignation of Eulenberg has not been accepted. It has been learned that the chancellor resigned before a meeting of representative statesmen of the federal states, which was held this afternoon. This meeting showed the existence of great discord regarding the proposed anti-revolutionary bill. Eulenberg thereupon resigned. Thus confronted by the double resignation, Emperor William abandoned his proposed visit to Blankenburg, for which place he was to have started this afternoon. The fact that the emperor has given up his trip was announced in the official Reichsanzeiger without explanation.
CAPRIVI INSISTED.
The emperor gave an audience to Caprivi and endeavored to induce him to withdraw his resignation, but the chancellor was obdurate and refused to do so. The emperor remained at the castle until a late hour consulting with Eulenberg, Dr. Miquel, and others.
The question of who will succeed Caprivi is the subject of general discussion everywhere. Dr. Miquel, both Eulenberg and Dr. von Buelow, leader of the national liberal party and governor of Hanover, etc., are mentioned, but it is believed that the new chancellor will be a compromise candidate. The representative of the Associated Press made an attempt late last night to interview Caprivi, but was informed that he had retired.
LONDON, Oct. 26 A dispatch to the Times from Berlin says Emperor William has accepted the resignations of both Caprivi and Eulenberg. Such a startling announcement has taken the political world in Berlin completely by surprise. That for months past the chancellor's adversaries had been straining every nerve to effect his downfall was well known, and though it may be less generally known, there can be no doubt that about a fortnight ago, they had reason to believe their object had been attained. But when Caprivi returned from Kurlenburg he had once more access to the emperor, from whom he had been separated for a considerable time during the summer holidays and the situation gradually changed. He explained his views to the emperor and pointed out with so much cogency the dangers of extreme measures for the repression of the socialists, which measures might open a fresh era of internal conflict, that his arguments, for the time at least undeniably carried conviction. His friends and opponents are agreed in stating that his opinions prevailed with the emperor and that even Eulenberg, the chief advocate of more vigorous measures, himself abandoned by his own immediate colleagues in the Prussian council.
CHANGE OF SCENE SINCE TUESDAY.
The Times correspondent says "I have the best authority for reporting that as late as Tuesday last the emperor, during Caprivi's visit to him, gave him the fullest assurance of his entire confidence and his approval of his policy which he, the chancellor, was about to submit to the leading ministers of the federal states, especially summoned to Berlin for that purpose. It was only yesterday that these ministers held their conferences under the presidency of Caprivi. So unanimous was their approval of his program, so entirely were they unaware of any impending change, that they disposed of the business in one sitting and most of them left the capital again, either last night or this morning. Therefore, it will be readily understood that in political circles, whether friendly or unfriendly to Caprivi, there is absolutely no explanation for the reasons which led to the sudden coup de theatre, and that it is idle to speculate at present on the consequences.
I am assured on good authority that Issue I turned upon personal questions quite
In commensurate with the grave results
which are involved since his visit to Caprivi
the emperor has been his guest of Count
Philip von Eulenburg, the German ambassador to Vienna, whose brothers, the Prussian premier and the marshal of ceremonies,
were staying at the same time at Eulenburg. It might, therefore, be inferred
that the emperor had yielded to
the influences brought to bear upon him by
the Eulenburg family, with which he has always entertained relations of intimate friendship. but the fact that his majesty has now also accepted
the resignation of Count Botho von Eulenburg which, it
was understood, was
offered a few days ago and declined, hardly
bears out such an inference
There is
reason to believe that an unavailing attempt
on the part of the emperor to compose the
differences between the chancellor and Eulenburg was one of the causes that determined
his momentous decision but it can hardly.
be doubted that there were other causes,
which it is impossible at present to elucidate
which led to the resignations. Speculation rages
as to Caprivi's possible successor. Dr
Michael, General von Schellingdorf, minister
of war, and General Count von Waldersee are
spoken of, but hope or fear is chiefly father of
the thought.

Attempt at a Coup in Hawaii.
Honolulu, Oct 26. Special Correspondence of the Associated Press, via Steamship Alameda to San Francisco, Oct. 20. )
Humors of a royalist uprising have been
very scarce for the last few months, but
now that the first election of the new republic draws near, these rumors have again
been circulated. This time election day,
October 29, has been chosen as the date of an
attempt to restore the ex-queen, but very
little stock is taken in the tale.
Nominations for senators and representatives have been made. Out of twelve chosen
for this Island (Oahu) only two are natives,
and this has caused some criticism among
the native annexationists. Every nominee
has been pledged to the support of the annexation
platform in the platform to the exclusion of everything else
Hanford Fleming, the Englishman who has
been in Honolulu for some time in the interests of the British Cable company which
proposes to lay a cable to Australia, will
leave today. He has asked the government
to cede Necker Island to England, claiming
that if this is done the cable project will be at
once carried through and Necker Island will
be a halfway house between Victoria and
Australia, with a branch line to Honolulu.
He has also asked for the exclusive cable
right on Hawaiian territory. The latter
proposition has not met with the approval
of the Hawaiian government and will probably not be acceded to. The former grant
would probably be made under certain conditions. At present no definite arrangement
has been concluded.

In New York, Will Put the Limit Week of the Campaigning for UN Faithful Haven.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26. Vice President Stevensons departed, for Poughkeepsie this afternoon,
after having spent several hours in receiving callers,
mostly democratic politicians,
at the Park Avenue hotel. Mr. Stevenson
explains his refusal to address the working-
man's mass meeting at Cooper union last
evening by saying that it had been arranged
some time in advance that he should speak
in Brooklyn as he did. Mr. Stevenson said
to an Associated Press reporter this afternoon
that in his speeches at Poughkeepsie and
Troy, he would confine himself to national
issues, on the same lines as he had followed
while speaking in Illinois and Missouri.
Governor Flower will, during the last week
of the campaign, travel from Albany to Buffalo and thence to this city over the Erie

J. Milton Turner, the negro, democratic orator,
had been mobbed at a meeting of negroes

city, as Air Harrison said, were generally intelligent and law-abiding, and the only way
in which he could account for the assault on
Turner was upon the supposition that the
latter had insulted his audience.

could not lawfully register or vote there
Mr. Cleveland himself, it is understood, has
said that his legal residence is in Washington It can be stated further that at the
expiration of Mr. Cleveland's present term

CHINESE CRUSHED AGAIN
Preliminary Skirmishing on the West Bank of the Yalu River.
JAPS WINNING GLORY IN MANCHURIA
After routing the enemy, General Nodsu succeeded in getting the main body of the Japanese army across the Yalu river without mishap before daybreak on Thursday. Then Colonel Sato was sent forward at the head of a flying column on a reconnaissance expedition and he discovered the enemy occupying a fortified position near the village of Kushang, on the right bank of the Yalu. Despite the fact that he had no artillery at his disposal, Colonel Sato at once commenced the attack upon the Chinese and a fierce fight followed. The Chinese fought desperately and stubbornly. The attack began at 10 o'clock in the morning and lasted until noon, when the Chinese began to waver and eventually retired in great disorder, falling back upon Kullenchas.
The troops, commanded by Colonel Sato, after the Chinese had retired, set to work upon the demolition of the fortifications of Kushang. Inside the fortifications they found 200 Chinese. The Japanese also captured a number of prisoners, among whom was a Chinese officer, who stated that the position was held by eighteen battalions of Chinese troops. The Japanese, escorting their prisoners, then marched in the direction of General Nodsu's main body, with the intention of rejoining.
The number of Chinese wounded is not known. The Japanese lost five officers and ninety men wounded.
Later dispatches said that the Chinese outposts are falling back upon Kullenchas where it is expected that the only really determined stand of the Chinese in Manchuria will be made.
It is understood that Field Marshal Yamagata's plans are completed in every detail for inflicting what he hopes will turn out to be a crushing blow upon the Chinese.
Several columns of Japanese troops are acting in concert after the manner adopted by the Japanese commander at the battle of Ping-Chang and it is expected that they will deliver a simultaneous attack upon the Chinese position by midnight on Saturday, thus enabling the Japanese attack to be delivered at dawn on Sunday. If the Japanese columns succeed in occupying the position assigned to them prior to midnight on Saturday, it is believed that the attack will be delivered at the earliest possible moment.
Some doubts are expressed among the Japanese commanders as to the reported strength of the Chinese position at Kullenchas, and General Nodsu is said to be not quite certain himself, as spies and prisoners have furnished various reports on the subject. It is reported that the Chinese batteries at Kullenchas have been increased from three to eleven, but, on the other hand, rumor has it that it is extremely doubtful whether all these batteries are fully armed.
All reports join in saying that spirits and health of the Japanese troops are excellent and it is said to be the universal ambition of all classes of the service to capture Mukden before the birthday of the emperor of Japan which occurs November 3.
YOKOHAMA, Oct. 26. Dispatches from the Yalu show that at the battle fought yesterday between the Chinese and Japanese, 3,500 Chinese troops of all arms were utterly routed.
LONDON, Oct. 26. A dispatch to the Times from Tien-Tsin, says twenty-seven transports were sighted yesterday making toward Tatsuung-Hao near the scene of the late naval battle. The Times' Yokohama correspondent says it is believed in that city that the second Japanese army, numbering 22,000 men, landed at Shun-Ching, north of Talien Bay on Tuesday.
A dispatch received in this city says the foreign office at Nanking has been transferred to Shanghai by an Imperial order.
LONDON, Oct. 26. The Standard, in its financial article this morning, says a silver loan of 1,500,000 taels for the city of Canton is being offered in London, probably in order to feel the pulse for a Chinese loan.
PARIS, Oct. 26. UNIONS STILL DEFYING AUTHORITY. Intrigue Against Build.
APIA, Samoa, Oct. 26 (Special Correspondence of the Associated Press, via Steamship Alameda to San Francisco, Oct. 26.) There have been no recent conflicts between the rival native bands. All the warriors are still under arms, however, and the people here are prepared for an outbreak to occur at any time. The Samoan land commission, which had prepared to hold sittings in the district of Aitu to dispose of cases there, were notified by heads of the rebel party that they would not be allowed to do so. The letter sent was a most imperious one. It is expected that the commission will now proceed to Atua with one of the war ships.
A movement has been secretly inaugurated here to circulate a petition to the three treaty powers urging the removal of President Schmidt, with whose administration there is considerable dissatisfaction. The government war ships Huarard and Falala are still here. The British cruiser Curacoa will be relieved in about a week by the Walaroo.
A monthly steamship line has been inaugurated between here and Sydney.
ANARCHIST PLOT DISCOVERED: Police Preparing to Arrest Anarchists in Paris on November 4th (Halloween).

Britannic Commissioner Pack of the Channel Mission
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. --Sanford Fleming, commissioner from the Canadian government to Honolulu in the interest of the proposed Canadian-Australian telegraphic cable, arrived on the Steamer Alameda today. The governments of Canada and Australia, he said, have received to lay a Pacific cable through a number of Islands in the possession of Great Britain between Australia and Canada, across which the cable might be stretched as slipping stones across the ocean, including the Solomon, Gilbert, and Fiji groups and North and South Pacific Islands. With stations at those points, there would be no absolute necessity for spanning the cable over Islands which are not already possessed by Great Britain. However, the proposals of the expedition appreciate the business considerations, which make it essential that any Pacific cable shall touch the islands of Samoa and Hawaii. Samoa is located to reach by a short haul from Asia and it would be possible to connect Hawaii by a branch from the nearest mid-ocean station at Tonga Island, which, however, is over 900 miles distant from Honolulu. To avoid the long waste of cable, it was deemed necessary to obtain a route which includes the Hawaiian group. To secure the necessary concessions from Hawaii was the mission of Messrs. Fleming and Mercer to the Islands. Communicating the measure of the utmost success, Mr. Fleming said:
"After a number of interviews with the principal officials of the Hawaiian government, a general understanding was reached, and before our departure, we left with them a memorandum of agreement, the terms of which we are prepared to recommend to those whom we represent. We did not ask them to cede any island or any portion of Hawaiian territory to us. What we did ask was that they should lease to us Bird or Nocking, or some other uninhabited island outside the main group, probably due or 100 miles from Honolulu, to be used as a telegraph and mid-ocean station only. We asked for no exclusive rights for telegraphic connections, but we proposed, if given a satisfactory lease of one of these islands and a subsidy of $25,000 per annum for fifteen years, to establish and maintain connections with the nearest cable station on the American coast, our charges from Honolulu to be 1 shilling a word for ordinary messages, 8 pence a word for government messages, and 4 pence for press messages. The arrangement is, of course, subject to the approval of all the governments concerned, and I may remark that the United States has something to say in the matter, by the terms of Hawaii's treaty of reciprocity with the United States, Hawaii is forbidden to grant any other power any right or privilege upon any portion of territory. It is quite understood that the first step of the Hawaiian government will be to appeal to Washington for consent to grant the privilege which we ask. No difficulty is anticipated. It is understood that Messrs. Fleming and Mercer will proceed to Washington to urge their cause. That their investigations were made by the authority of the British government there is no doubt. At Honolulu, the steamer Hyacinth was at their service, and accompanied by the British minister, they were taken on the Hyacinth to inspect Bird Island and take the necessary soundings in the vicinity.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 20. The steamer Alameda, which arrived today, brought only three passengers from Australia. This was owing largely to the fact that nearly everyone was on the rush to get to the new gold fields of western Australia, Coolgardie. While the steamer was in Sidney harbor, over 1,000 miners arrived from the New Zealand gold fields, en route for the new Eldorado. Some of the deposits are phenomenal, and in one instance, four cuts of rock yielded ounces of gold. The Londonderry mine, one of the first discovered, was sold to an English syndicate just before the steamer sailed for $1,250,000. One of the passengers from Sydney was a miner named James McCormick. He stopped off at Honolulu, but told the other passengers that the new gold field was every bit as rich as it was made out to be, and that it would develop the days of '49 in California. According to him, the lack of water was the great drawback. When he was at Coolgardie, a quart of the precious liquid cost 50 cents, a pound of meat 60 cents, and 25 pounds of flour $25. The majority of the mines were doing well. In the Buffing, owing to the abundance of water, was very great. Just before the Alameda sailed, a camel load of ore, nearly all gold, was brought into Sydney from the Western Australian mines. The arrival caused great excitement.
LITTLE HOPES
CHICAGO, Oct 20. The conference of the lines of the Western Passenger association with General Passenger Agent AM Kit Hobbard of the Lake Shore line regarding the question of emigrant rates, amounted to nothing, after a session which lasted all day. The object of the meeting was to arrive at an agreement regarding the rate and amount of commissions to be paid on emigrant business. The failure of western lines to arrive at an agreement with the Lake Shore line, which was more favorably disposed than other trunk lines, leaves but small hope that the committee of the western lines, which leaves Sunday for New York to attempt some arrangement with the trunk lines on this matter, will arrive at any conclusion with the latter lines. This will leave the western lines the only means of going to war with the Canadian Pacific over emigrant business, unless that road is determined to also go to war.
WASHINGTON, Oct 23.-The Civil Service commission has received from a postmaster in Washington a copy of a circular from the democratic committee levying a.
An issue of great importance is the assessment of each master. The committee has concluded that those who are enjoying the best lots of democratic success in the past should contribute to the expenses of the present campaign. The committee has assessed you $3.
After the holiday, Taylor, Oct 18 - A journal has arrived with information that Sheriff Proctor and a posse of Cherkees are on the trail of Cook and his gang of robbers, being only half an hour behind them. Last night, Judge Luke, a sheriff of the region and leader of the noted gang, rode into Gibson and terrorized the citizens of that place by shooting into the diner and denying them rest. She filled the depot full of bad feeling from her pistol. After frightening the citizens, she galloped through a side door, followed by a group of deputy marshals and cut through town in pursuit.
In Philadelphia, Oct 18 - A dispatch from the Evening Post reports that Judge Dallas is still in fine health, despite the efforts of his opponents. It is believed that he will be unable to leave his room until sometime next week.
CYCLONE OF FLAME
Believed to Have Been Started Deliberately as Spite Work,
NEBRASKA PRAIRIE FIRE RUSHING EAST
Parts of Cherry and Sheridan Counties Now a Seething Furnace.
FIGHTED ON THE VIGIL OF THE WIND
Everything in the Path of the Fire Swept Out of Existence.
BIG RANCHES NEAR GORGEN IN ASHES
Flames HAVE Reached Plentiful and every
body In the Bank of the Looming Flying for Life Two Men
Lined to Dentil.
Gordon, Neb., Oct 26 (Special Telegram) - The prairie fires now sweeping over the sand hills in this vicinity are doing immense damage. The flames are traveling with almost lightning rapidity and are consuming everything in their track. Last night, the fire was driven by the wind through the central portion of Sheridan and Cherry counties. In the track of the flames were the big Osborn and Spade ranches, and a number of smaller ones. This morning, not a vestige of these ranches remains except the bare and scorched ground.
At noon, the fire is reported to have reached Pullman, and the whole country in that neighborhood is a raging furnace. It is not known whether any lives were lost today, but thousands of head of cattle have perished. Those in the track of the fire are feeling for their lives, leaving all their property to the mercy of the flames.
RANCHES THAT WERE BURNED.
The fire broke out on Monday last about 10 o'clock in the south and spread about fifty miles south of Gordon. It has already burned over a strip of country 100 miles long by forty miles wide. The fire is burning in an easterly direction. The flames burned all the range and clean on the Spade ranch belonging to Richards & Calvin and about 3,000 tons of hay, leaving about 1,000 tons of hay. This ranch has 7,000 head of cattle and 175 head of horses. It will necessitate the moving of this herd of cattle and horses to the White river in South Dakota.
The next ranch to burn was Stanbridge, burning all of their hay, about 5,000 tons, and all of their range. This ranch had 1,200 head of cattle. The next was Lee Osborne's, burning all his range and all his hay, about 100 tons, and his barn and outbuildings. This ranch was feeding about 200 head of cattle. He will have to move his cattle at once, as he has no hay or range, and no protection at all, and will necessitate a large loss. The next was Myers' ranch, burning all his hay, about 600 tons. His range was feeding about 200 head of cattle.
The fire was swept on by a heavy western wind, notwithstanding there were thirty men working like bears to put it out. The next ranch to go was Woodruff's, burning all his hay, about 400 tons, and all his range. He had about 300 head of cattle in his barns, corrals, and sheds. The next in line of the fire was Haugh's. He lost all his hay, 600 tons, and all his range. He had about 400 head of cattle.
The next was Mason's, burning him out of about 1,000 tons of hay. He was the postmaster and had a store, carrying stock of goods of $3,000, with very little or no insurance. He had 700 head of cattle. The next was Davis'. He lost all of his hay, 1,200 tons, but none of his buildings. He has about 600 head of cattle. This is all as the fire had gone at noon.
There are several number of small ranches turned down on the U. & M railroad. John Billow, Samuel Chestnut, Morey & Hewitt, R. H. Overton, and Dan Hill are the only men that were not burned out. The loss from this fire at present will run up into the millions, besides the trouble of moving all the stock, particularly this year, for hay is scarce this fall than it has been for years.
CAUSE OF THE FIRE
Mullen, Neb., Oct. 28 (Special Telegram) - The fire started Sunday afternoon on the road between Whitman and Pullman post office. A man about a mile from the road saw the fire almost as soon as it started in a little bunch of hay beside the road. At the same time, he saw a man drive a team away from there with the horses on the run. Other men were in the neighborhood and came in from four different directions, and they saw no other person in the neighborhood of the fire. This fire was all whipped out Sunday night. Fire again started in about the same neighborhood Monday and swept east at a furious rate, taking everything in its path. Thousands of tons of hay were consumed, two men were burned to death about nine miles north of town while trying to backfire to save their homes. Mr. LeLoucher had his clothing burned off with the exception of his woolen underclothing. He lived eighteen hours. Mr. Biss died last night. The fires have now been put out. As near as can be learned, the fire has burned from Middle Loup river to the North Loup, about forty miles. It is not known whether the fire of Monday morning was set by the party or not, but there is strong suspicion that it was set by some spite work. The county is thoroughly aroused, and if the party is found there will be short work made of him.
HALLOTED PROPERTY CASUALTY.
So far as could be learned from the general manager's office of the Burlington, the prairie fires now devastating the northwest portion of Nebraska are confined to the territory between the lines of the Burlington and Elkhorn railways. Mr. Leornis stated that he had not received any information that would indicate that the property of the Burlington had been injured in any way by reason of the fires now raging and thought that if the tracks had been touched at any point along the system he would have been so informed.
At Elkhorn headquarters, the same condition of affairs was met with at Burlington headquarters, the general impression being that the fires were confined to the southern portion of Cherry county.
None of our property on the north of Cherry county. "Told an official of the Elkhorn, "has been reached as yet and what progress the fire is making we cannot tell, as the stations are wide apart in that locality and it would take a day or two to hear from the sparsely settled districts. My impression is that the fires are nearer the Burlington tracts than the Elkhorn. "Mixed Arrival from Rome On. Sioux City, IA, Oct. 28 (Special Telegram)—"Two destructive prairie fires have raged over a large area of country on the Missouri river bottoms south of this city in the past few days, and have burned hundreds of tons of hay, destroying much valuable pasture and miles of fencing, until checked and now small outlying buildings." | 4 |

need and party arrived In this city from
Minneapolis. From daylight to darls the ex-
Bpoakcr'a reception has been one continuous
ovation , Early this morning crowds besieged -
sieged Ills car and an Impromptu reception
was accorded him. This afternoon , Mr. Heed
addressed an outdoor meeting at which the
crowd In attendance was estimated at 15,000.
Ho said , In part :
"Tho conditions which confront us nre seri
ous ones. Iy ) the last centus we , at a na
tion , are credited with a wealth of $67.000-
000,000. Where did wo get It ? It Is the
result of the Industry and savings ot 70,000-
000 people , who have not only saved that
vast amount , but liavo lived pretty well
besides. But In the past year wo have ex
perienced what is a now phase In the his
tory of the American people. A largo portion
tion of them have been Idle. Production and
savings by them have pracllcally ceased be
yond the Immediate wants of trade , and they
have ceased to enjoy the comforts of olden
times. Thank God we have accumulated
enough Ui thirty years of republican admin
istration , to stand the reverses of the past
two years and two years more of Grover.
but wo have suffered some ot the wanta ot
civilization , things whlclf were formerly lux
uries , but are now necessities. It Is tlmo to
call a. halt ; we want to add to that $07,000-
000,000 Instead of eating Into It. I have no
epithets to apply lo the democratic party ,
nnd If I should try , I don't think an Im
provement coulJ be made on the
language used by the leaders of
tha democratic party. It Is a
question of business policy , of business sense
rather than epithets. U'e can't save
the whole ship , but we can save some of the
wreck , and we can add to that until we have
built a ship of bifiRcr masts and stanchcr
hull than ever sailed the > ocean before , busi
ness needs certainty , It Is not gambling. Anew
now system has set In , and business strives
to so on lines of absolutecsrtalnty. . The
present duty of the hour Is to change the
conditions with which we are confronted. I
am not going to say who Is the cause of It ;
1 am afraid It la because of the foolishness
of all the American people. They made a
llttlo slip , and arc now being handsomely
punished for It. Under the- American con
stitution we can't have repentance at once ;
but the significant and beautiful silence ot the
president Is conducive to righteousness of
Itself. The democratic leaders do not mean
peace and quiet.
Chairman Wilson says U Is just the begin
ning of the battle Mr. Cleveland says they
have gained a vantage ground for a now
attack. Senatdr Mills , from that manufactur
ing state of Texas , says they have taken the
citadel and arc going back for the rest of
the town. I don't defend the senate bill ,
but the difference between that and the
Wilson bill Is great anil It U n decent defer
ence to protection. Protection to American
industry will remedy the condition that now
confronts us. Wo are now" getting some
lesRons oC experience and If you want any
mote I can toll where you can get them. You
wanted some of God's arguments and you got
them. Ono advantage of arguments o ( ex
perience la that you don't forgot them. The
democratic party , torn and dlsh eled today ,
1 ready lo furnish promises notwithstanding
that they Imvo thousands of notes In bank
marked "no funds. " They are trying to
pass them on the American people. The re
publican party has not always kept up to
what It should have' done , but It has given
the country Its best _ laws founded on the
"
good sense ot tho"Anicrlcdii people.
Mr. Heed spoke > for over an hour. Other
speakers were- Congressmen Henderson and
Hltt of Illinois and Congressman Henderson of

beers and red fire. On reaching the hall

The Wilson bill Is not two months old ,

Mr. Eckels prefaced his speech by saying

N. Y , Oct. 2C. Governor Mc-
Clnloy has been rushing through the state
of New York at the rate of seventy miles an
liour. The first stop out of DufTalo was at
llatavla , where Governor McKlnley apokc
from a platform erected In front of the court
liouse.
At Rochester there was a hand and a pro
cession and an audience of several thousands
assembled In the public square. The route
to the speaking stand was backed by an
elaborate display of Hags and bunting. A
short stop was made at I'lttsford and Can-
andlagua was reached at 10:20 : , where the ar
rival of the train was -heralded by the dis
charge of cannon and ringing of bells. The
governor took occasion 'at this place to respond
spend to a rpeech madeby Vice President
Stevenson. He said :
"Vlco President 'Stevenson ' , in his
speech at Brooklyn last night , alluded
to the great prosperity the country enjoyed
during. President Cleveland's first administra
tion nnd said that existing distress was
caused by the tariff law of 1S90 ami by re
publican legislation. No intelligent people
can be so deceived. Every man who hears
no will remember that during the whole
of President Cleveland's first term the re-
iiubllcans had control of the senate of the
United States and that Mr. Cleveland did
nothing moro than execute republican law
and republican purpose. The only thing
Mr. Stevenson was right about was that
great promises had bcen-made by the demo
cratic platform and In the speeches of the
cninpalgn of 18)2. ! ) Ho talks about the bitter
Ight congress made against monopolies and
trusts. Mr. Wilson answers him by declar
ing that the moat gigantic trust In cur his
tory hcld congress by the throat. "
At Geneva the governor's audience In
cluded a considerable number of mechanics
At Seneca Falls there were not less than
4,000 voters In the crowd. McKlnley said : "For
the thirty years we llv-fd under republican
protective policy the meal tub of the govern
ment was alwayB full and was never empty
This Is the Imperishable fact of history
which can never be blotted out. " Later he
expressed a protection maxim by saying
"Kvery tlmo you make it easier for the for

Mr. Colvin , tht. treasurer ot New York

"State Treasurer. "
Every hanl-Mnrklng person should heed
this truth , that the most cruel taskmaster
In the world h a man's telf when he Is
ambitious and , moreover , successful.
No elsht-nour or len-hour laws have ever
been devised to protect biicli hardworked ,
overworked men against themselves.
Very many are tied to their office desks ,
bent over books nnd papers for hours In
utter defiance of the sImplcst reo.u rements
of health. The itpady drain on the store
of nervous energy al length shows Itself
In lepeated headaches , neuralgia twinges ,
rheumatic pains , tinrofreshliu ; steep and a
lowness of spirits and strength.
In all tlie c ca&os there Is urgent need of
restoring the nervous vigor that has been
heedlessly squandered Just why the great
body of re.illy capable physicians have had
the greatest confidence I rum the first In
ordering 1'alno's celery compound In these
cases ot reduced nerve vigor and bodily
uietigth Is not only because of the Im
mediate good it-suits tint follow , but because
this great modern remedy Is prepared from
the formula of the ablest reputed tclentlst
and praclloner In. medicine , Prof. Kd md
E. I'helps , Jl. D. , LI. . I ) . , of Dartmouth
college.
There arc hundreds of men and women
successful In their work for every one nho
la succssful In keeping well. In many In-
? tunces a fraction of the care ami earnest
ness with which they attend lo their business
If devoted u , getting well would make them
strong and \\ell.
To cjulrkly fill the shrunken arler oa and
veins with ruddy blood and to refiesh the
exhausted nerves Is the task that I'alne's
celery compound at once sela to work to
accomplish. It taliej but a short tlmo with
a careful employment of this great nerve
food to call a halt tu wailing disease : ) and U
disorders of Ihe Important organs ot tin
body ; to dyspepsia , llv r. 'kklii y and heart
difficulties iditl to nervous Weakness. '
H Is , perhaps , vague to most persons'
minds just what "regulating and strengthen
ing the nerves" really means.
No parts of the body undergo such rapid
changes as the nervous tissues. After ei r
lion the lir.ilti and nerves demand the
promptest rep.ilr possible. The proper
material must ho epecd.ly end richly brought
by the blond to ensure Ihe healthy working
of these delicate parts. U la when the vigor
of the body la to reduced that the nervous
tlfsues cannot extract these needed elements
from the blood , nnd wh-an Ihe palo , watry
blood can furnish but a scanty supply ol
bu.lding material , that the strength falls ,
sleep becomes broken and unrefreHhlng , do-
' presslon M'lre.i the mind and a general feel
ing of III being Is the sure forerunner of the
breakdown of acme tppclal organ , liver , kid
neys , heart , brain or etomacli.
I'alne's celeiy compound regulates nnJ
strengthens the nerves , which govern and
give tone to every part of the body.
The tiniest branchings of the nerves every
where assompdiiy and work In harmony
ullh the marvelous network of Mood vessels
co that uhcrevur a pin prlchw ctarts a drop
of blood , a sharp pulu tolls that a nerve
has also suffered. I'alno'H celery compound
stores the blood vessels even to their
minutest capillaries with fresh blood , full ot
lifelike , and builds up the worn-dinvn nerve * ,
by bathing them , tu their utmost filaments.

TRY IT. SOLD BY ALL DRUGG18TS | Thomas B. Reed comes over into Iowa
Large crowd assembles at Waterloo to
Hear the Man from Maine.
SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCE A BITTER ONE
American People have Learned a Lesson in
It. "Farewell" No! I Forgot. Tomorrow Will
Carry it Through Two More Years
Your Share of Grief
WATERLOO, Iowa, Oct. 26 Thomas B.
Reed and party arrived in this city from
Minneapolis. From daylight to dark the speaker's reception has been one continuous
ovation, Early this morning crowds besieged
his car and an impromptu reception
was accorded him. This afternoon, Mr. Reed
addressed an outdoor meeting at which the
crowd in attendance was estimated at 15,000.
He said, in part:
"The conditions which confront us are serious
ones. By the last census we, as a nation, are
credited with a wealth of $67,000,000,000. Where did we get it? It is the
result of the industry and savings of 70,000,000
people, who have not only saved that vast
amount, but have lived pretty well besides. But in the past year we have
experienced what is now a new phase in the
history of the American people. A large portion
of them have been idle. Production and
savings by them have practically ceased
beyond the immediate wants of trade, and they
have ceased to enjoy the comforts of olden
times. Thank God we have accumulated
enough for thirty years of Republican
administration, to stand the reversals of the past
two years and two years more of Grover,
but we have suffered some of the wants of
civilization, things which were formerly luxuries,
but are now necessities. It is time to
call a halt; we want to add to that $67,000,000,000
instead of eating into it. I have no
epithets to apply to the Democratic party,
and if I should try, I don't think an improvement
could be made on the
language used by the leaders of
the Democratic party. It is a
question of business policy, of business sense
rather than epithets. We can't save
the whole ship, but we can save some of the
wreck, and we can add to that until we have
built a ship of bigger masts and stancher
hull than ever sailed the ocean before, business
needs certainty, it is not gambling. A new
now system has set in, and business strives
to go on lines of absolute certainty. The
present duty of the hour is to change the
conditions with which we are confronted. I
am not going to say who is the cause of it;
I am afraid it is because of the foolishness
of all the American people. They made a
little slip, and are now being handsomely
punished for it. Under the American
constitution we can't have repentance at once;
but the significant and beautiful silence of the
president is conducive to righteousness of
itself. The Democratic leaders do not mean
peace and quiet.
Chairman Wilson says it is just the beginning
of the battle Mr. Cleveland says they
have gained a vantage ground for a new
attack. Senator Mills, from that manufacturing
state of Texas, says they have taken the
citadel and are going back for the rest of
the town. I don't defend the Senate bill,
but the difference between that and the
Wilson bill is great and it is a decent deference
to protection. Protection to American
industry will remedy the condition that now
confronts us. We are now getting some
lessons of experience and if you want any
more I can tell where you can get them. You
wanted some of God's arguments and you got
them. One advantage of arguments of
experience is that you don't forget them. The
Democratic party, torn and dispersed today,
is ready to furnish promises notwithstanding
that they have thousands of notes in bank
marked "no funds." They are trying to
pass them on the American people. The Republican
party has not always kept up to
what it should have done, but it has given
the country its best laws founded on the
good sense of the American people.
Mr. Reed spoke for over an hour. Other
speakers were Congressmen Henderson and
Hitt of Illinois and Congressman Henderson of
Iowa.
MIGHT AS TO MAJORS,
Republicans Speak at Valley Ignore the
Failure at the Senate.
"VALLEY, Neb., Oct. 26. [Special Telegram,]
Republicans to the number of 200
from this end of Douglas County attended a
political meeting at the Valley Opera House
tonight. Hon. W. O. Whitmore presided and
the speakers were Congressman Mercer,
Richard Smith, Isaac Noyes, and W. J. Johnson.
Mr. Mercer delivered one of his most
forcible and convincing speeches of the campaign.
He charged the Democratic party
with the responsibility for the general business
depression of the country and the lockouts and
strikes which are incidental thereto,
and presented his case in such a manner as
to be convincing.
Speaking of silver, the congressman said
"The World-Herald supports Bryan and
Doyd. Bryan is an advocate of the coinage
of free silver at the ratio of 1C to 1. Doyd
is opposed to that standard of money. The
World-Herald is therefore democratic in the
morning and populist in the afternoon."
After telling a few stories and explaining
where he got his wife, Congressman Mercer
closed his remarks. The other candidates
who were present, also made addresses.
The speakers evidently knew the sentiment
of this community as regards Tom Majors
for his name was not mentioned during the
evening. Prof. Campbell's male quartet
from Valley was present and rendered several
stirring campaign songs.

Democrats at an open-air meeting,
while Hon. Stephen B. Mays spoke at
the Opera House to the Republicans. Chairman
McGraw of the Democratic committee
attempted to bring about a joint debate

declined. Excursions were run by both parties
from Cumberland and Oakland, Md.,
and from Keyser and Elkland, W. Va.,
and both parties paraded before the meetings.

DEMOCRATIC WAVE AT PITTSBURGH,
Candidate Syngery and Controller Eckert
Accept the Uniting of
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 26. This was
the Democratic night in this city. Candidate
for governor of Pennsylvania, William M.
Ingerly, and J. H. tickets, comptroller of the currency of the United States, were directed by an audience in Carnegie hall, outnumbered by the Republicans in this district with their big meetings. Previous to the meetings a parade made up of the many democratic clubs and citizens, headed by the distinguished guests, marched through the principal streets, greeted by enthusiastic cheers and red fire. On reaching the hall, the entrance of Messrs. Ingersoll and Eckeis was greeted with great applause. Mr. Ingersoll was the first speaker of the evening, in substance he said:
"We are dodging no issues. We are resting on no questions. We have no apologies to make for our party, its candidates or its platform. We are proud of its record. First of all, the democracy killed the fight against silver, and if it had done nothing else its record would have been good for that alone. Our next pride in the repeal of the Sherman silver law. The third act of grace was the passage of the Wilson bill. (Great applause.) It was the first honest step toward tariff reform since 1867.
The Wilson bill is not two months old, and yet there is not part of the country that has not found some reviving pulsation in the tide of trade. The McKinley bill was not a month old when the country was racked with labor troubles, and in the three years of its existence there were 1,200 strikes."
Mr. Eckels prefaced his speech by saying that he wished to discuss in a spirit of absolute seriousness matters of common interest. He referred to a recent speech by Mr. Reed in Chicago, he said,
"I deny upon one hand that the country is sitting in sackcloth and ashes, and upon the other that the condition which characterized the late months of 1893 and the early months of 1894 is due more to the Democratic party than to that party to which Mr. Reed acknowledges political fealty.
"The thoughtful student of the financial and business conditions of the past year who will rise above party and view these discussions in the light of business principles must unavoidably be drawn to the conclusion that two great causes of the distressing condition of affairs which we have witnessed over this land, which in turn have inured the undertakings of the capitalist and withdrawn from labor its daily bread were the Sherman silver act and the McKinley tariff law of 1890. Mr. Cleveland, upon leaving his office in 1892, had turned over to the incoming administration a treasury full to overflooding; upon his return to office he received from President Harrison a treasury almost depleted.
"The conditions which had slightly manifested themselves in 1890, immediately after the passage of the Sherman act, found full fruition immediately after the condition of the treasury and its gold reserve became known in 1893"
M'KINLEY IN NEW YORK.
An urgent train while I'm in;
Through the night,
N.Y., Oct. 26. Governor McKinley has been rushing through the state of New York at the rate of seventy miles an hour. The first stop out of Buffalo was at Watertown, where Governor McKinley spoke from a platform erected in front of the court house.
At Rochester there was a hand and a procession and an audience of several thousands assembled in the public square. The route to the speaking stand was backed by an elaborate display of flags and bunting. A short stop was made at Pittsford and Canandaigua was reached at 10:20, where the arrival of the train was heralded by the discharge of cannon and ringing of bells. The governor took occasion at this place to respond to a speech made by Vice President Stevenson. He said:
"Vice President Stevenson, in his speech at Brooklyn last night, alluded to the great prosperity the country enjoyed during President Cleveland's first administration and said that existing distress was caused by the tariff law of 1890 and by Republican legislation. No intelligent people can be so deceived. Every man who hears me will remember that during the whole of President Cleveland's first term the Republicans had control of the senate of the United States and that Mr. Cleveland did nothing more than execute Republican law and Republican purpose. The only thing Mr. Stevenson was right about was that great promises had been made by the Democratic platform and in the speeches of the campaign of 1892. He talks about the bitter fight congress made against monopolies and trusts. Mr. Wilson answers him by declaring that the most gigantic trust in our history held congress by the throat."
At Geneva the governor's audience included a considerable number of mechanics. At Seneca Falls there were not less than 4,000 voters in the crowd. McKinley said: "For the thirty years we have lived under Republican protective policy the meat tub of the government was always full and was never empty. This is the imperishable fact of history which can never be blotted out." Later he expressed a protection maxim by saying,
"Every time you make it easier for the foreign produce to come into this market you make it harder for the American produce to stay in this market."
County Clerk Sackett commenced the work of preparing the copy of the official ticket for the printer. This work consumed the greater portion of the day, as all of the names of candidates for the respective offices have to be arranged in alphabetical order in printing the official ballot. Mr. Sackett has placed an order for both official and sample ballots and of these he will have 100,000 of each. The official ballots will be upon white, while those which will be for the guidance of the voters will be printed upon red, blue, or green paper.
On the populist legislative ticket William Latey, Fred Moulton, and E. P. Hefterfield have filed their notices of withdrawal that their names may not go upon the official ballots.
In order to get his name before the people, C. A. Jacobsen has filed a petition showing that independently he will make the race for the State Senate.
H. G. Hell having withdrawn from the county attorney fight on the populist ticket, George Witten has thrown himself into the breach, getting his name upon the ticket by petition.
Among the Independents who have asked for legislative places are Charles Johnson, Michael Nelson, A. A. Perry, and Augustus Payne.
Election Office,
The fact that yesterday's edition contained a paragraph to the effect that candidates for positions as Judges and clerks of election were wanted at the mayor's office resulted in a flood of aspirants yesterday. Then about fifty men were waiting in the hall when Private Secretary Millar came down and just over 600 applications were registered at 11 o'clock. Every application that is filed hereafter tonight will be considered and the list will be made up and submitted to the council for approval on Tuesday night.
Bound to lead. For over forty years the standard, Dr. Price's Baking Powder has advanced steadily with the growth of the country.
Iowa City, la., Oct. 26, (Special Telegram.) Ex-Governor Dolence, Congressman Hayes, and Candidate for Secretary of State Dele spoke to 1,000 people here tonight.

MISOURI VALUES,
St. Louis, Oct. 26. (Special Telegram.) Hon. A. U. Cummings of St. Louis delivered a ringing Republican speech here tonight. The opera house was filled to its utmost capacity, many being unable to gain admission.
"COULD HAVE BEEN RATHER TAME DRAMATIC, but Johnny Van Heest and Solly Smith Do the Act for Buffaloians.
NEITHER WAS ANXIOUS TO MIX IT UP, starting with a Pennsylvania limit, announcing, arguing the necessity of ultimate success; McKinley out, the century of inhibition.
Oct. 20. Solly Smith and Johnny Van Heest, fought a fifteen-round bout before 1,000 people at the rooms of the Buffalo Athletic club tonight, Yank Sullivan of Syracuse refereed the bout. The lighting in the first few rounds was fast and furious. The men gave a very clever exhibition. There was not much choice. If anything, Van Heest had a slight edge. The first blood was won by Smith. Toward the end, it was evident the fighters were feeling each other out. They were very cautious, and it was plainly seen only a chance blow would decide a draw. In the fifteenth round, few blows were struck, both men sparring warily. The fight was declared a draw, much to the disappointment of those present, who expected a livelier affair. The men will divide $1,200.
WALSH.
Joe Walsh takes place this afternoon between the Young Men's Christian association and a picked team of local professionals and amateurs at the Charles Street park. Play will be started at 3 o'clock sharp, and a lively battle may be looked for. With good weather, a good crowd should turn out. Joe Walsh, the gentleman, is the best known of all the local professionals and deserving of substantial recognition at the hands of his many friends. The benefit will be a benefit indeed, in all the significance the word implies, for Joe has been incapable of helping himself for several months, owing to a strained knee received in a game at Milwaukee. A quarter of a dollar isn't much to many of Joe's popular friends, and none of them should fail to contribute this mite, whether they attend the game or not. Every one will help, and it is earnestly hoped that Joe will receive sufficient money to tide him over until health and strength return.
High school football.
Gates college will be here from Leigh this afternoon to give the Young Men's Christian association eleven a little insight into the intricacies of the great game of football at Young Men's Christian Association field. Harvey Lynnam has the Young Men's Christian association boys in hand, and the efforts of such a good coach will make the Leigh boys "hump" themselves. Among the "stars" from whom the Young Men's Christian association team will be chosen are Lynnam, Gordon, Clarke, Billy Gardiner, Purvis, Cowgill, Tukey, Burdick, Waltermeyer, Hurt, Swann, Van Camp, Taylor, Meyers, Muldermit, Young, Redford, Swain, Morse, Riley, Pickering, Smith, Ocean-lipam, Charles Thomas, and perhaps that steady, strong, and hard-working old player, now a lawyer, Jefferson.
Comparatively little is known of the Gates college team, except that they think they have such good material that they have persuaded Brown, the captain of the Young Men's Christian association, to come up and coach them. If there is any foot ball material there, Brown will find it and make what he can out of it. He was a substitute at Yale last fall and is an able coach.
Last night the following Young Men's Christian association team was picked: Lindsay, W. Pickett, Morse; tackles, S. Coleman, C. L. Smith; guards, Hart, T. S. Waltermeyer; center, Crosn; half backs, Van Camp, Burdick, Cull Gardner; quarter backs, Clark or L. Substitutes: Emlay, Donovan, Purvis or center, Younger, O'Connell; half back, Ayers; tackle, Plucker, D. Priestly.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. The University of Pennsylvania defeated the University of Virginia at football here today after a hard-fought game by a score of 14 to 6, in two thirty-minute halves.
Louisville track meeting called off.
LOUISVILLE, Oct. 26 Owing to a heavy rain, which set in at midnight last night and continued almost incessantly until noon today, the races for the fall meeting were declared off. The rain has put the track in such a condition that racing was out of the question today, and will be for several days to come. It was by the request of nearly every horse owner on the grounds that this decision was arrived at. The circuit ends here, and most of the owners are glad of it. The horses are stiff or sore after the hard campaign and are not in condition to continue in training.

DECORAH, Iowa, Oct. 26The Cleveland racing team broke two world's records here today. Dr. L. A. Brown made the quarter mile, flying start, in 0:23 1-3; former record, 0:21 1-5, made by J. S.

Cricket today.
There will be a cricket game this afternoon in all probability the last of the season at the club grounds at 2:30 p.m. The two teams will be captained by Mr. J. P. Purdy and Mr. A. T. McPherson. Such of the members of the club as are anxious to increase their averages before the official list is closed, would better put in an appearance.

Cured of both mulism by
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.
I was taken down with rheumatism over a year ago. I was sick for over six months. Often I would have such pains that I could hardly endure them. A friend came to me and advised me to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. I took him at his word and got a bottle of it, and since have taken eight bottles of it.
It Has Cured Me
When the doctors could do me no good whatever. After having benefited so much from its medicine, I describe Hood's Sarsaparilla as a wonderful medicine. I advise every one who is troubled with rheumatism not to be without Hood's Sarsaparilla. I am a farmer, and it has given me much energy and strength to perform my work. "EOROEEY. Benning, Missouri.

It makes people well!
There have appeared recently published testimonials of Mr. Carlisle's personal secretary, of ex-Minister to Austria Francis, of Mayor McSlune of Montreal, of Miss Mable Jemima, of President Cook of the National Teachers' association, of General Macauley and of scores of other equally responsible women and men. The "plain people" by the thousands in every state in the union have testified to the merits of the compound. Hon. Addison R. Colvin, whose likeness is given above, who was elected treasurer of New York state last full, was born in 1835 in Glen's Falls, N.Y., where he was educated in the public schools and where he has since resided. His successful career is known to all well-informed persons.
Writing to the proprietors of Paine's celery compound on July 12, 1887, he said:
"I began to advise you that three or four years ago, when I was suffering severely with a nervous difficulty, caused by too close attention to business, I took several bottles of Paine's celery compound, and the benefit to me was considerable; in fact, since then I have not been called upon to use any other remedy for that difficulty. Very sincerely yours,
A. COLVIN.
"State Treasurer.""
Every handy-marking person should heed this truth, that the most cruel taskmaster in the world is a man's self when he is ambitious and, moreover, successful. No eight-hour or ten-hour laws have ever been devised to protect such overworked, overworked men against themselves. Very many are tied to their office desks, bent over books and papers for hours in utter defiance of the simplest requirements of health. The rapid drain on the store of nervous energy at length shows itself in repeated headaches, neuralgia twinges, rheumatic pains, insomnia; fresh breath; steep and a lowness of spirits and strength.
In all these cases there is urgent need of restoring the nervous vigor that has been heedlessly squandered. Just why the great body of really capable physicians have had the greatest confidence from the first in ordering Paine's celery compound in these cases of reduced nerve vigor and bodily strength is not only because of the immediate good it affords but because this great modern remedy is prepared from the formula of the ablest reputed scientists and practitioners in medicine, Prof. Edd and E. Pelps, M.D., of Dartmouth college.
There are hundreds of men and women successful in their work for every one who is successful in keeping well. In many instances a fraction of the care and earnestness with which they attend to their business, if devoted to getting well, would make them strong and well.
To clearly fill the shrunken arteries and veins with ruddy blood and to refresh the exhausted nerves is the task that Paine's celery compound at once sets to work to accomplish. It takes but a short time with a careful employment of this great nerve food to call a halt to waiting diseases and disorders of the important organs of the body; to dyspepsia, liver complaints and heart difficulties and to nervous weakness.
It is, perhaps, vague to most people's minds just what "regulating and strengthening the nerves" really means. No parts of the body undergo such rapid changes as the nervous tissues. After each flight and nerves demand the promptest repair possible. The proper material must be supplied quickly and richly by the blood to ensure the healthy working of these delicate parts. It is when the vigor of the body is reduced that the nervous tissues cannot extract these needed elements from the blood, and when the pale, watery blood can furnish but a scanty supply of building material, that the strength falls, sleep becomes broken and unrefreshing, depression attacks the mind and a general feeling of ill-being is the sure forerunner of the breakdown of some special organ, liver, kidneys, heart, brain, or stomach.
Paine's celery compound regulates and strengthens the nerves, which govern and give tone to every part of the body. The tiniest branchings of the nerves everywhere accompany and work in harmony with the marvelous network of blood vessels so that wherever a pin pricks, a drop of blood, a sharp pull tells that a nerve has also suffered. Paine's celery compound stores the blood vessels even to their minutest capillaries with fresh blood, full of lifelike, and builds up the worn-down nerves, by bathing them to their utmost filaments in the rich, nourishing stream.
Tired mothers, worn out by the ceaseless care of large families, and fathers worried by dullness and restlessness, find just the refreshment to the nerves that they need so much. Overwrought brainworkers, teachers, scholars, young girls in stores and offices, regain the marily affectionate nature of health in a short time by using this powerful nourishing agent, Paine's celery compound.

It is "up to date," it cures.
It is the only remedy that purifies the blood and acts upon the nerves at one and the same time.

J. A. "Wlatt was < leipolle < l of the shoulder
strops which hove ueea his by virtue ol
being captain of the chain gun ? , ami since
jcBlcnluy morning has been no longer In the
employ of the city. It was discovered
Thursday afternoon that li& hnd taken one of
I ho prisoners from the jail up to his house
and put him nt work chopping wood. The
prisoner had several dollars on deposit xvlth
( ho city marshal , so that there was no
lunger of his attempting to get away , and
Wlatt evidently thought he had run across a
snap , of which he proceeded to make ( he best
use possible. Hut one of his brother police
officers who fl.is not on particularly good
tcrma with him learned what ho had done
and Informed Mayor Cleaver , who , after
making an Investigation , Informed Wlatt
yesterday morning that he hail no further use
for his services.
It la told on good. Authority that there was
sotnethltit ! n little peculiar even about the
way In which ho got the wood. Recently anew
now city ordinance was passed requiring
trees to ho trimmed twelve feet above the
ground. In some cares the chain gang , act
ing under Wlatt's direction , cut the limbs
uft twenty-five feet above the ground.
Wherever ho could tin so without encounter
ing too larfie a kick. Wlatt's team ( employed
nt an expense of J3 a. day to the city ) uouM
h.iul the big- limbs to Wlatt's house , where
llipy would ha cut up for fuel to feed U'latt's
stove this winter. It Is reported on the
same authority tlint a widow on First street
objected to her wood being carted away on
the ground that she wanted It for fuel her
self. Wlatt , 11 1s said. Informed her that
the city needed It to riprap the banks of In
dian creek. It was not used for that pur
pose , however.
When Wlatt learned that his brother oflce ]
hud [ liven the inn ) or a lip he called at the
in.liblul's office and wanted to pay 75 cents
for the man's work. The marshal refused to
take It.

A suit V.RH commenced In the district
court by I > . II Fotlierliifiham yestcrdaj ,
growing out of the recent change of pro
prietors In the Boston store. George Fowler ,
Alexander IJIck. Gilbert Wallccr and Archi
bald Whltelawvho nro the present owners ,
are made defendants by Kotherlngham , who
claims that there was a conspiracy to freeze
him out of the establishment In. his petition
he alleges that ho was the principal originator
of the partnership scheme , which was started
In 1SS9 , and was run without Interruption '
tor four years , the gross profits In that period ]
being 550,000. Aft r an account of salea had
been maclu In 1S'J3 , he says , the conspiracy
was formed by the defendants to get him
out. mid with thnt end In view an Invoice
was taken , which was made to show that
IhiTo had been a loss of $19,000 that year.
Kowler represented that the business was
worthless and the profits depreciating , and
told Fothcrlnghain that unless he turned over
the stock ho would at once throw U all on
the market at forced sale > and ho would g-et
nothing for his stock. The plaintiff says , he
supposed that the Invoice wasa correct one
and that fact , together with Ilia Intimidation
of ( ho deJcmlants , Induced him to part with [
his Interest for a paltry consideration. Now ,
he claims , he has discovered that the Involca
,
was fraudulent , In that tlio furniture and
fixtures were reckoned as worth $300 , In
stead of $3,000 , as they should have been , and
that the estimate of the value of the stock
518,000 , , was too low by $25,000. He demands
the appointment of a receiver , a new In
voice , a recounting and $10,000 damages , that
being the- value of his Interest In the busi
ness , of which he has been deprived by the
alleged wrongful acts of the defendants.

During thu morning session Miss Dryant
was on the stand and Mr Baldwin was cross-

what Bha considered his Inqulsltlvencss , and
the passages , at words that took place be
tween attorney and witness were at times

she. had not been suffering so severely from
her pbyslc.il Injuries that she was unable *
to attend picnics , parties and other like-

had not.
- The testimony during the afternoon session
was less Interesting. Several physicians
wore put upon the stand , who had made an
examination of her Injuries. The air was
redolent. with necrosis , nodules and Indura

In finding out how much the physicians knew
about the difference between oitltls and peri

WASHINGTON , Oct. 28. The new treat
ment by inoculation for diphtheria and croup ,
as practiced In France , is the subject of a
special report to the Stnto department by
United States Consul C. W. Chancellor at
Havre. He says that by this methoj of
treatment only one out of four dlphtheretlc
patients succumbs , whereas the figure Is
double for oher methods of treatment h re-
tofore applied. Consequently the consul ,
who Is a Baltimore physician of repute , says
that It would seem very deslrabo that the
antl-dlphtheretle serum should be Introduced
and uomo into general use at the earliest
period practicable In America , where many
thousand children and numerous physicians ,
students and nurses die annually from diph
theria nnd croup. The consul gives In detail
a history of the development ot the treatment
by Dr. I'astoiir arid his assistant. Dr. Houx ,
who have been experimenting with It for five
years , keeping It secret until they had satis
fied themselves of Its pfilctency" and had sub
jected the animal ( the horse ) best adapted
to transform dlphlheretic poison Into un antl-
tax I ne. A trial of the new treatment at
otifl of the largest children's ho&plta a of
Parts resulted In reducing the death rate
from diphtheria from Gl 70 to 24.13 per cent
In addition. It Is stated that children vac
cinated with the serum were protected from
Iho disease even while living In close contact
with dlphtheretlc patients. As the Pasteur
Institute can not meet , the great demand for
the serum movements are on foot In differ
ent localities to establish auxiliary liutltu-
tlons. In slight cases one Injection of the
serum Is sufficient , while the ordinary case
yields to t o.

; ram. ) The Farmers and Mechanics bank was
Islted by burglars this morning and It Is
upposcd that $2,000 cash was stolen. Nitro
lyccrlns wab used In opening the vault. The
.hleves were evidently men who did not
hoioughly understand the terrific effect of
ta use , for the building was practically blown
o pieces and the money and other contents
cut crashing into the street. The explosion
E roused the whole neighborhood , and the
hlo-.es left the money scattered over the
oor In their haste to git away. A descrip-
ion of the supposed guilty parties was tule-
ihoned to the Council Bluffs authorities
wo men answering the description psrfectly
ere seen by Ur. 0V. . Gordon In Counci
UliilTs passing his house about 0 o'clock In

, vhlch seemed too heavy for1 either one to
larry any'great distance. Tiny are though

A count of the mcney In the safe today
howcd that the- robbers last night cariet
away $2.870 almost equally divided between
gold nnd bills Part of the gold and silver
loncy remaining was badly mutilated bj
he force of the explosion , being bent and
wlsted , while the ends of'th'e bills were cut
and hacked. It Is thought'probable that a
arge portion of the money'cnrrled away was
so mutilated end may lead to the detection
the thieves.
Just before 10 o'clock yesterday two
men with a heavy black satchel boarded
an Omaha motor car In the muffs. The
conductor was found and gives the following
[ lescrlptlon of the men : One tJiort man ,
licavy set , black mustache , the other tall ,
: iearly s > lx feet , smooth shaven. Doth wore
large slouch hats pulled down In front and
turned up behind. They carried , said the
conductor , a big black grip , which seemed
to b3 heavy , as both lifted It onto the plat
form. The short man stayed on the plat
form with the satchel while the tall fe low
went Inside. It was the tall man who paid
the fare for both. At Thirteenth street
both men got oft. That was all the con
ductor knew about the men.
Several hackmen saw the pair alight , and
asked for a Job , but the fellows picked up
their grip and walked to Thirteenth and
Dodge streets , where they boarded a South

in the county jail yesterday, left in the evening
for Missouri, which will be his future

Judge Macy, he did not even wait until

tan shoes, and a Hannover shirt.
The city committee held a short meeting last
evening for the purpose of acting on the revised specifications for brick sidewalks on
Broadway, Main, and Pearl streets. On account
of the uncertainty as to just what
meaning could be attached to the old specifications all the bids that were presented
under them had been rejected. A new advertisement for bids was ordered.

Stewart will attend the funeral in a body.

Secretary Frank Trimble of the Merchants

yesterday from William Dallin, the
representative of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad
Construction company, who was here
a few weeks ago and laid before some of the
citizens his plan for putting a double-track
rail line between New York and San Francisco.
He has been for some little time past in
California, and speaks in a very hopeful
strain of the results of his efforts to boom his
schema in the west. "Although the railroads
and the press of this state will oppose us," he
says, "the people believe in our plan. The state of
California will give us free terminals on the bay
and right of way 100 feet wide across the state,
besides $1,000,000 subsidy, to be paid when the
road is completed. I shall leave Chicago October
9, and hope to hear from you at that time that
your people have decided to accept my proposition."
No definite action has been taken with regard
to the proposition since Mr. Dallin left.

CITY PRISONERS CUTTING HIS WOOD
Not Keen That night to A Hat in Clear
Title to I ho It and Major Cleaver
California III in III * Berties' prison
> u Lungery Rectified,
J. A. "What was < defeat < of the shoulder
strokes which have been his by virtue of
being captain of the chain gun, and since
Wednesday morning has been no longer In the
employ of the city. It was discovered
Thursday afternoon that he had taken one of
the prisoners from the jail up to his house
and put him at work chopping wood. The
prisoner had several dollars on deposit with
the city marshal, so that there was no
fear of his attempting to get away, and
What evidently thought he had run across a
snap, of which he proceeded to make the best
use possible. But one of his brother police
officers who has not on particularly good
terms with him learned what he had done
and Informed Mayor Cleaver, who, after
making an investigation, Informed What
yesterday morning that he had no further use
for his services.
It is told on good authority that there was
something a little peculiar even about the
way In which he got the wood. Recently a new
city ordinance was passed requiring
trees to be trimmed twelve feet above the
ground. In some cases the chain gang, acting under What's direction, cut the limbs
at twenty-five feet above the ground.
Wherever he could do so without encountering
too large a kick. What's team (employed
at an expense of $3 a day to the city) would
have the big limbs to What's house, where
they would be cut up for fuel to feed What's
stove this winter. It is reported on the
same authority that a widow on First street
objected to her wood being carted away on
the ground that she wanted it for fuel for herself.
What, it is said, Informed her that
the city needed it to riprap the banks of Indian creek. It was not used for that purpose, however.
When What learned that his brother officer
had [given the information] he called at the
marshal's office and wanted to pay 75 cents
for the man's work. The marshal refused to
take it.

FOR SALE: A Dining Set, Clutter of Years
In the district court by L. H. Fortheringham yesterday,
growing out of the recent change of proprietors
In the Boston store. George Fowler,
Alexander Dick, Gilbert Wallace and Archibald Whitelaw,
who are the present owners, are made defendants by Fortheringham,
who claims that there was a conspiracy to freeze
him out of the establishment. In his petition,
he alleges that he was the principal originator
of the partnership scheme, which was started
In 1889, and was run without interruption
for four years, the gross profits in that period
being $550,000. After an account of sales had
been made in 1893, he says, the conspiracy
was formed by the defendants to get him
out, and with that end in view an invoice
was taken, which was made to show that
there had been a loss of $19,000 that year.
Fowler represented that the business was
worthless and the profits depreciating, and
told Fortheringham that unless he turned over
the stock he would at once throw it all on
the market at forced sale, and he would get
nothing for his stock. The plaintiff says, he
supposed that the invoice was a correct one
and that fact, together with the intimidation of
the defendants, induced him to part with
his interest for a paltry consideration. Now,
he claims, he has discovered that the invoice
was fraudulent, in that the furniture and
fixtures were reckoned as worth $300, in
stead of $3,000, as they should have been, and
that the estimate of the value of the stock
$18,000, was too low by $25,000. He demands
the appointment of a receiver, a new invoice,
a recounting, and $10,000 damages, that
being the value of his interest in the business,
of which he has been deprived by the
alleged wrongful acts of the defendants.

In the face of lower prices and the continuance of the sluggish conditions of trade,

made at other stores.

The trial of the case of Maud Bryant
against the motor company attracted a large
number of lady friends of the plaintiff
During the morning session Miss Bryant
was on the stand and Mr. Baldwin was cross-
examining her. She was inclined to resent
what she considered his inquisitiveness, and
the passages at words that took place between attorney and witness were at times
very vigorous and added greatly to the interest in
the case, he tried to show that
she had not been suffering so severely from
her physical injuries that she was unable
to attend picnics, parties, and other like-
places, and the witness admitted that she
had not.
- The testimony during the afternoon session
was less interesting. Several physicians
were put upon the stand, who had made an
examination of her injuries. The air was
redolent with necrosis, nodules, and induration
- Considerable time was also occupied
In finding out how much the physicians knew
about the difference between osteitis and peri
ostitis. Both attorneys and witnesses managed
to get themselves hopelessly entangled
In a network of big words, and the court
reporter's fist was stricken with lockjaw.
The evidence for the plaintiff is not all won.

Engineering Agent exhibiting for Comforts fell Money Men MARC City. A special agent for the government has been in South Omaha for the last week looking up counterfeit money matters. The only bad money that has been sprung in the Magic City is silver dollars, and the most of them bear the date of 1891. Special Agent Walker picked up eighty-four of them. The government man went from one business house to another collecting this coin to secure the bulk of the spurious goods. No arrests have been made and the police and business men of the city are unable to give the agent any clue to work upon. It is generally believed that this money is being shipped in here from the west. It has been several months since much of it was passed, but at that time the police found about $100 had been hidden under a sidewalk. London Admit for the Gallery Pay. F. McManigal and C. Gallagher, stock dealers of Omaha, sold a lot of fifty rattle yesterday to Hoyer, McCoy & Co., commission men. They were given a draft for $1,300 on the Packers National bank by the firm, but when they presented it at the bank they were informed that Hoyer, McCoy & Co. had failed, turning the cattle over to Hill and Lewis, and proceedings were brought to stop payment from Hill and Lewis to Hoyer, McCoy & Co. Here the matter rests. Blood City. W.D. Jennings, superintendent of transportation of the G.H. Humboldt company at Chicago, is the guest of Manager Labock.

The remains will be buried in Omaha Sunday at 1 o'clock. The annual ball given by the South Omaha police took place in Bauer's hall Thursday night and it was a big success in every sense of the word. The hall was so packed with dancers that there was scarcely standing room up till midnight. The boys sold about 100 tickets, and yesterday were out in their new uniforms for the winter. Chief Brennan acted as master of ceremonies and attended to his duties like a prince. The other committee members were Officers Spoettle, Connell, Maloney, McDonough, Tangeman, Sheehan, Deeters, Reaches, and Corcoran. Not a single thing occurred to mar the pleasure of the evening and the people who mingled in the crowd all admitted that the affair had been most successfully managed throughout.

The new treatment by inoculation for diphtheria and croup, as practiced in France, is the subject of a special report to the State department by United States Consul C.W. Chancellor at Havre. He says that by this method of treatment only one out of four diphtheritic patients succumbs, whereas the figure is double for other methods of treatment hitherto applied. Consequently, the consul, who is a Baltimore physician of repute, says that it would seem very desirable that the anti-diphtheritic serum should be introduced and used into general use at the earliest period practicable in America, where many thousand children and numerous physicians, students, and nurses die annually from diphtheria and croup. The consul gives in detail a history of the development of the treatment by Dr. Pasteur and his assistant, Dr. Roux, who have been experimenting with it for five years, keeping it secret until they had satisfied themselves of its potency and had subjected the animal (the horse) best adapted to transform diphtheritic poison into an antidote. A trial of the new treatment at one of the largest children's hospitals in Paris resulted in reducing the death rate from diphtheria from 65.70 to 24.13 percent. In addition, it is stated that children vaccinated with the serum were protected from the disease even while living in close contact with diphtheritic patients. As the Pasteur Institute cannot meet the great demand for the serum, movements are on foot in different localities to establish auxiliary institutions. In slight cases, one injection of the serum is sufficient, while the ordinary case yields to two. STAGE STORMED TO NEW YORK. Minor Quinine of Berlin's Chloroquine Serum In This Country. NEW YORK, Oct. 20. A consignment of a drug upon which the attention of the medical profession the world over is centered has gone through the customs house. It is a small quantity of the new remedy for diphtheria, the anti-toxin serum. This is the first portion to reach the country from the laboratory of Prof. Ehrling of Berlin, its discoverer. The consignment came to Dr. George E. Shrady, the editor of the Medical Record, and Dr. Louis Fischer, also of this city. The quantity received was very small. The serum that has been in use here previously to this importation was from the laboratory of Prof. Aronson. It is considered the serum from Prof. Ehrling is more powerful and will retain its power for a longer time than any brought here previously. "While down in the southwestern part of the state some time ago," says Mr. W. Chalmers, editor of the Chico (Cal.) Enterprise, "I had an attack of dysentery. Having heard of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy I bought a bottle. A couple of doses of it completely cured me. Now I am a champion of that remedy for all stomach and bowel complaints," For sale by druggists. Chemistry of the Cough Drop.

BENNIGSON BROS., COUNCIL BLUFFS.
BURGLARS BLOW UP A BANK
Dynamite was used in opening the vault
Farmers and Mechanics bank was robbed by burglars this morning and It is supposed that $2,000 cash was stolen. Dynamite was used in opening the vault. The sleeves were evidently men who did not thoroughly understand the terrific effect of its use, for the building was practically blown to pieces and the money and other contents were thrown crashing into the street. The explosion not only roused the whole neighborhood, but the papers left the money scattered over the floor in their haste to get away. A description of the supposed guilty parties was telegraphed to the Council Bluffs authorities, who men answering the description perfectly were seen by Dr. O.V. Gordon in Council Bluffs passing his house about 8 o'clock in the morning. They carried a small valise, which seemed too heavy for either one to carry any great distance. It is thought they have taken the motor to Omaha.
A count of the money in the safe today showed that the robbers last night carried away $2,870 almost equally divided between gold and bills. Part of the gold and silver money remaining was badly mutilated by the force of the explosion, being bent and wasted, while the ends of the bills were cut and hacked. It is thought probable that a large portion of the money carried away was so mutilated and may lead to the detection of the thieves.
Just before 10 o'clock yesterday two men with a heavy black satchel boarded an Omaha motor car in the muffs. The conductor was found and gives the following description of the men: One short man, heavy set, black mustache, the other tall, nearly 6 feet, smooth shaven. Both wore large slouch hats pulled down in front and turned up behind. They carried, said the conductor, a big black grip, which seemed to be heavy, as both lifted it onto the platform. The short man stayed on the platform with the satchel while the tall man followed went inside. It was the tall man who paid the fare for both. At Thirteenth street both men got off. That was all the conductor knew about the men.
Several hackmen saw the pair alight, and asked for a job, but the fellows picked up their grip and walked to Thirteenth and Dodge streets, where they boarded a South Omaha car going south.

Why Denounced Him as a Murderer.
KANSAS CITY. Oct. M. While testifying in court here against his wife in a divorce suit, in which he sought Reparation, William Lacoy of Topeka, Kan., was today arrested, charged with the murder at that place in August of William M. Cummings. According to Mrs. Lacoy's story, her husband had twice threatened to take her life, and for this reason, she wanted a divorce. Lacoy was on the stand refuting her when Mrs. Lacoy suddenly sprung to her feet and declared him to be the murderer of Cummings. After his arrest, his identity as the murderer was made positive upon receipt from Topeka authorities of his description. The murder was a cold-blooded one and at the time caused a decided sensation.
One of the Stolen Pouches Recovered. NEW YORK, Oct. O.-L.C. Weir, president of the Adams Express company, received today a pouch containing a number of bonds, insurance policies, stock, drafts, bills of lading and other valuable documents.

The recovery of these documents reduces the loss of the Adams Express company by the robbery to less than $13,000.

A DISOltA.CKrri , JH.lt K7JOTI-.V.
Thousands ot Nebraska republicans
tuivc been patiently waiting' for the
promised vindication of Thomas .1. Ma
jors from the grave charges that have
lieeti hanging over his head since the
day of his nomination. These charges
were of such a grave nature that no
man nsplrlng ( o a high of lice could
afford to rest under them. They not
only affected the ofllcial Integrity of the
candldiite for governor , but bis moral
standing as a public man. The oppor
tunity for refuting these charges was
iresented in the proposition embodied In
the letter addressed to the chairman of
the republican committee by the editor
of The Dee , No fairer proposal was ever
myde In any campaign. The woven I'rot-
out a nt clergymen named as referees oc
cupy the front rank In their respective
chinches. They each represent a sepa
rate denomination , and six out of the
seven are pronounced republicans. Hven
the llurllngton Journal , whoso repre
sentative railed upon these ministers ,
oticedi'S that a majm-Hy were biased In
favor of Mr. Majors , and all denied that
my attempt had been made to coach
lirm or prejudice them against Majors.
Such a tribunal would certainly have
i'xoilerated Mr. Majors unless , Indeed.
Hie proofs verts overwhelmingly against
iilm. instead of courting this opportun
ity for vindication .Majors and bis pollt-
cal managers have peremptorily de
fined to have his record investigated.
This Is the most disgraceful backdown
Iii1 : bus ever been known In Nebraska
politics. It IB an open confession that
Ilic charges cannot lie successfully met
ir gainsaid. No rational person can ar
rive at any oilier conclusion , and tliat
will bi ; the verdict of republicans , who
nm been grievously disappointed by
the failure of their standard hutu'cr to
Icar bis record of the foul stain that
ests upon It.

When railway managers , bankers nnd

except the Australian ballot law. The

Every day seems to Increase the
chances of a great republican victory
in New York. The efforts of Senator
Hill to harmonize the democracy are
not bearing much fruit , although he has
called to Ills aid the chairman of the
congressional campaign committee and
itlie.s of influence. Tammany has made
some concessions , but not enough to
satisfy the candidate for governor , yet
It looks as If he will get no more. Mr.
Hill makes earnest appeals In his
speeches for harmony , but they appear
to make very little Impression upon the
element in the party which is antago
nizing him. .Such democrats as ex-Sec
retary l-'nlrchihl in New York City and
Kdward M. Shepard In Brooklyn , the
lenders of the Independent and reform
elements in the party , seem to be I in
movable In their determination to do
what they can to defeat Hill , anil they
have a considerable following. What
the regulars are hoping : for Is a helpful
word from Mr. Cleveland , but there is
no' Indication tlmt ho will give it. The
paper which Is regarded as being more
nearly the personal organ of the presi
dent than , any other In the country , tin1
Philadelphia Ledger , snld in a late issue
that If Mr. Cleveland , by speaking , coultl
prevent the defeat of Hill "lie dare not ,
In respect to good politics , good policy ,
good government , bis own good iinnic
and consistency with Ids honorable record
ord , speak them , nor Is It believed he
will speak them , or that If he should
they would In any material degree af
fect the result. " Of course the Ledger
believes that Hill ought to be defeated
and will be. Meanwhile the senator
Is making as brave a battle as the cir
cumstances will admit of ,
As to Tammany , the prospects appeal
to be very good for n victory over that
political organization if ( he forces com
hlncd against It en it be kept itt lino.
The withdrawal of Straus as the candi
date for mayor nnd the substitution of
ex-Mnyor Grant may have helped the
situation somewhat for Tammany , but
Orant Is being lilt hard for having ap
pointed , when he was nl the head of
the city government , many of the men
who are responsible for much of the
villainous condition revealed before the
Lexow committee. If not himself Itlen-
tllled with tiiese outrages Grant has
iiecn the political creator and associate
of many of the men who practiced them.
Crokor Is the real leader of the Tam
many forces and he Is a resourceful
politician.
The forces tlmt are lighting Tammany
ire thus far harmonious and seem to be
unking si Judicious as well as a vigorous
campaign , while In tlic state at large
the republicans are working hard and
zealously. There Is still time for some
surprises , but as the situation now looks
the prospect tlmt III11 and Tammany
will go to defeat together Is excellent.
It would be a Klgnal victory for decent
Killtlcs audgood * government.

There have been expressions recently
'roiu ' several responsible democrat le
sources regarding silver which are of
uore thiin passing Interest. Senator
Harris of Tennessee , who was the maii-
iger of the tariff bill in the senate anil
who probably lias UK much authority as
my democratic senator to speak for his
tarty In that body , thinks tlic re will not
ie any silver legislation at the next ses
sion of congress. Hi * is of the opinion
hat Mr. Cleveland would veto any bill
to Increase ( lie- supply of silver In the
currency , and therefore that congress
will not waste time preparing- bill
which would certainly encounter a veto.
Speaker Crisp , In a speech at Nashville
> n Thursday , while expressing no opin
ion as to what the present congress may
lo , suld that sooner or later the people
will have free coinage of silver , and : is
Mr , Crisp has been an advocate of free
olnnge nl. the present ratio lie doubtless
xpei'ts that policy will prevail , llepre-
seiifntlve M. U. Ilarter of Ohio lias
alien issue with bis party In that stale
in the silver iiiestlon | , cliaraeterl/.tn-
Mischievous and dangerous the platform
which demands free coinage of silver at
he ratio of 1C lo 1 of gold.
The silver que.stlou lias not figured
rery prominently In the present cam
paign , except In a few states of the
south , probably for the reason thai the
li'inoeratle advocates of free coinage re-
illx.e that there is hardly a possibility of
loinganylh tig for the policy they chum-
ion during the term of the present nd-
iiinistratlon. Like Senator Harris , who
is for free silver coinage , they regard
Mr. Cleveland's veto of the seigniorage
till as dclUiltci assurance that the presl-
leiil will not permit any new legislation
in the interest of silver while he has ( lie
iiower to prevent it. Nevertheless , they
lo not propose tn abandon Hie question.
Democrats like Speaker Crisp Intend to
lo what they can to keep It alive in pop-
tlnr attention. If their party should be
successful in electing the next house of
representatives very likely nothing
would be said or attempted regarding
silver at the coming session , but If the
parly fails the silver question will re-
elve consideration , even though there
ie no prospect of accomplishing iiny-
hlng. Another national political content
is to be fought two years hence , with
linth the executive and the legislative
branches of the government as the
stake , and the free sliver democrats will
iirepiire to make themselves felt at. that
time.
It must not be assumed , therefore , that
because this question Is In abeyance it
lias ceiiseil to be a live Issue. Nor would
It be wist to assume that there IK not
a great deal of popular interest In It.
The Ohio democrats ntllrm that it. Is to
lie the commanding question of the Im
mediate future , and the party In the
south and west Is unquestionably of the
same opinion. Whether free sliver coin
age lias gained or lost lu the number of
its supporters It Is impossible to say
with any degree of certainty , but a fair
estimate of the intelligence and good
Judgment of the American people would
justify the belief that the proposal that
the Tutted States shall alone open its
minis In the sliver of the world at the
ratio of Itt to 1 has not gained sup
porters. The danger of such a policy to
the national credit and the national wel
fare is so obvious that It must be sup
posed the thorough discussion It has re
ceived has changed hundreds of thou
sands to opposition who formerly fa
vored It. Absolute security against tlm
niloptlon of this policy will bu found In
transferring the control of the popular
branch of congress to the republican
party.

The contest now In progress In which
different factions tire struggling for rep
resentation upon the new directory of
tlic bankrupt Atchisou railroad will
hardly add to the prestige of American
railroad management tit home or abroad.
Inlo the Individual merits of the respec
tive claimants and the question whether
the minority is legally entitled to the
right of cumulative voting , which will
insure Its members not less than three
places on the board , are matters which
concern the stockholders rather than the
public. Kit far as the public Is Inter
ested , it would probably fare no differ
ently whichever way the contest should
ho decided , since the management will
doubtless pursue the same jKillcy lu the
operation of the road with the directors
tu ! > candidates of one faction only or
with a small representation of the mi
nority among their number.
What then Is the. basis of the present
contention ? What advantage Is to ae.
crue to the men who control the direc
tory of a bankrupt railroad ? How are
the directors to wield any power when
the entire conduct : of the road has been
given over to receivers appointed by and
responsible to tlic federal courts ? What
Is at stake Is not the management of the
railroad , but the management of ( lie ne
gotiations looking toward Its financial
reorganization. The duly elected ill rectors
tors will be nt all times consulted and
will have an Innuctitla ! voice In framing
plans for rescuing the road from In
solvency. They will be the olllclul rop-
rcsentatlves of the stockholders nnd will
be. expected to protect their Interests
and tu see that their holdings are nut
sacriflcd to § j' > * sof the bondholders and
other ereilltorJCIn addition to thin they
will be on the Inside In nil the deals mid
will have Ilrst Information as to the
prospect of ( he adoption oC one plan of
reorganization or another advantages
of considerable value to slock Jobbers
and Wall stfoVl"nmnlptilators. although
if minor hcaruij npon practical railroad
operations. Tlio din-dors nnd oilier se
curity holders will be anxious to have
the ralhwid set once more on Its feet
without Impairing the capital upon
which liiteretl Is paid jmy more than Is
absolutely necessary , while- the patrons
: if the road , unrepresented , will lie coin-
Celled lo continue to pay charges upon
mlllioiiK oC watered slock and discount
bonds for which there never was an
qulvalcnt in the actual Invest men t In
the property.
Hucli a controversy could scarcely
Ne In regard 1o a railroad over a year
in the hands of receivers were It not for
our peculiar way of dealing with bank
rupt railroads. The receivers , appointed
ostensibly to guard the Interests of the
creditors until such time as the assets
may be realised upon , simply continue
the policy of the previous management
under which the property was wrecked
mil 11 the Mime wreckers perfect a new
scheme lo enable them to get control
again. Having despoiled tin * bond
holders , they begin again to despoil the
public dependent upon their line for
transportation. How can we have hon
est railroad management built upon dis
honest railroad capitalization ? If It
were the policy of the receivers to force
the bankrupt railroad to foreclosure and
ale and to hand It over to * the pur-
hasers to be conducted on the busts of
the price iicluully paid for It the con
trol of the directory pending bankruptcy
would not IH * worth lighting for.
Some people are trying to explain the
small registration of women lu Chicago
mil the slight Interest which they have
taken In the political prospects of the
wiiiuau candidates for olllce on the

Itelng photographed by the hidden
kodaks used for the purpose of identify
ing voters. We cannot conceive how
it'll mi exp'ana ion < an receive any gen
eral acceptance. The woman who is
inxloim to vote is not the woman who is
ifrald of being photographed. On ( he
contrary , the photograph feature ought
to prove a powerful agent in bringing

vored with an opportunity to cast a bal

The credit ot the state was also discussed.
Tlioinus J. Majors urged the people to give
their hearty support to the whole ticket.

There Is nothing whatever In tle charac

and amiable disposition , who has n strong
leaning toward Germany and toward HugUs'i

nnd however distasteful this fact may be to
the Parisian mobs stilt clamoring for rcvcngo

Franco can hope for no aid from llussla In nny

danger 'ot war upon the triple alliance a
long as French diplomats can avoid lionMH-
tles. As far ns the policy ol the future
sovereign of llussla can be foreseen It will
be directed lu the- Hue of Internal Improve
ment rather than foreign conquests or war
for war's sake. There Is reason to believe
that the younp prince who will teen bo the
m'onarch ot the only great power of Kuropo
In which the sovereign Is still the chief part
of the state and the dominant force of the
government , has worthy nnil peaceable ambi
tions for his country. He Is known to admire
the ways and people of some of the most nd-
vanced powers ot the world , nnd he will be
inoro likely to strive to lift llussla up to the
level of Germany and England In tlic arts
and industries of iience than to court the
destructive and doubtful ordeal of a great
war. Nothing1 that has ever been made pub
lic regarding the prospective emperor of HUB *
ala Indicates that he Is n fire-brand by na

chronic dangers of the trrmemlouK armament

The fact that many dispatches concerning
the condition of the czar and the councils of
the doctors at Llvadla arc sent from St.
Petersburg Is misleading to readers who sup
pose that the two places are not far apart ,
or that Llvadla Is the name of the Imperial
residence In the Husslan capital. On the
contrary , Llvadla Is about 1,000 miles Botilli
of St. Petersburg , and Is on the south sliore
of the Crimea. In climate , vegetable prod
ucts and Industries that region resembles
Itnly more than It does the. oilier part of
Russia. The peninsula of the Crimea Is so
projected Into the Hlack sea , nnil Its southern
sliore is so protected from the cold winds
that sweep the low and level plain which
constitutes the northern portion of the coun
try that the fig nd pomegranate flourish
there , and It Is a region of vineyards and
pleasure and health resorts , like the French
and Italian Ilivlera. On the finest part of
tills most genial coast which the vast Hus
slan empire boasts Is situated the 'famous
Imperial ami aristocratic watering palace ,
known as Llvadla. and It Is there that the
czar Is passing the last days of his life. The
reason that the dispatches which tell all
that Is permitted lo be made public concern
ing the royal sufferer at Llvadla are sent
from St. Petersburg Is that the Husslan cen
sorship ot the press Is especially strict In
times like the present , and news , for foreign
lands must come almost wholly through the
capital. The Imperial palace at Llvadla Is
so surrounded by cordons of troops that It
Is Impossible for news from the emperor's
sick room to reach the outside world except
through authorized or very indirect chan
nels.

Religious liberty lias been granted In Hun
gary by both houses of Parliament to the
extent that five leadings religious bodies are
iccognlzed by the government , and citizens
are given the right to belong to which of
them they choose. These five are Roman
Catholics , old Catholics. Greek church , Ar
menians , Unitarians , Lutherans , the ad
herents to the Augsburg and Helvetian con
fessions , and Jews. The doctrinal and moral
teachings of these bodies have been approved
by thq uovernmcot , and they are each and
nil under the protection of the stale. 'Prac
tically the religious liberty ot the Hungarian
Is greater than appears from this descrip
tion. He may belong to any denomination ho
pleases , whether U be recognized by the
government or not. and It Is said to be easy
to obtain government sanction for any body
whoso tenets arc neither Immoral nor Il
legal , It Is necessary lo got permission to
hold public worship , but this is usually ob
tained without dllucully. The only danger
Is that , as has often happened , the Roman
Catholic influence may be strong enough
locally to cause a denial of tills permission
to hold Protestant worship by other than the
permitted dfmomlnations. It Is this danger
and the desire to break the hold of the
Hainan Catholic * on the civil power which
has been the motive of the attempt to abolish
ish all restrictions upon worship. A bill to
this effect passed the lower house by a large
majority nnd was beaten by the nobles , but
In spite of this defeat religious liberty Is
practically assured In Hunt'ary.

The successes of the socialists In Germany
seem to be due quite as much ti > the supine-
ness of their opponents as to their own per
sistent energy. An Illustration of this maybe
bo found In the recent elections for the
courts of Industry In Berlin. The socialists ,
as usual , had made great exertions , but the
parties of order had scarcely moved a finger.
Tlie workmen nominated by the social demo
crats , one and all. were elected , and they
also succeeded In securing In six cases the
election of the employers whose candidature
they supported. Out of these six seals only
two hitherto had been In the hands of the
socialists. This might be thought an Isolated
case , and one scarcely to be avoided In a
town which , like Hcrlin , Is saturated with
scclal democracy , but similar reports of vic
tories at the elections for the Industrial
courts come from Krfurt , Gera , and Mul-
hausen , In Thurlngen. At Erfurt the social
ists secured the election of seven out of thir
teen employers , and , its In Hcrlln. of all their
workmen candidates. It Is true that in the

India 1ms been densely populated for thotl-
rands of years , and at this time It contains
very nearly 300,000,000 Inhabitants. Yet
largo regions of the country are haunted by
rnvcnotts beasts nml by poisonous reptiles
which destroy hmnnii life. We learn from n
recently printed llritlsh blue book upon In
dian affairs that In the year before last ,
as ninny of 22,000 people wore klllod there by
snakes and wild beasts , clEhtrcn-twcntlcths
of them , or over ly.OOO. by snake bites , and
over 1,200 by tigers and leopards. Those
ferocious rncmlvs of mankind are not loss
tlic enemies of tHtno cattle , t.7,000 of which
were destroyed by them and 4COO poisoned.
The terrible destruction of human beings nnd
domesticated animals In India Is largely due
to the Hindoo doctrine of the wroncfulness
of killing any living thins , on account of
the danger to souls In the course of trans
migration. A pious Hindoo would rather be
poisoned by n snake or eaten by n tiger
than kill either of them. The British-Indian
authorities have long striven to reduce the
number of hostile reptiles and beasts , but the
figures given In the blue book "hero spoken of
nro nqt evidence of their success down to
this time.

N.P. Gere, Notary Public.
Timothy McShane, H. & M. contract for 100,000,000, (2) cross horses 3 a very powerful typewriter.
It is perfectly plain in that
Guvlin and the bank have no control on Vice President Stevenson.
Lincoln Bank is making a very effective
campaign, with excellent finances that
he will set the record.
A comprehensive liberal menu;
unusually, because it preserves the foundation of self-governance more effectively than a monarchy.
The mill in the Mullen-Shane company
shows its the Omaha Burlingame contract, which has been enormously profitable and will run for four more years.
Commissioner Steenberg has had three
years' experience in the supervision of
county affairs that qualifies him for independent work in the next term for which commitments have endorsed him.
The executive Committee of the
"strait" democrats has its headquarters in the Mullen hotel. It can't be too close to the railroad republican supply center located in the same building.
Pharmaceutical Depot claims the company
in the rear-plat speechemaking tour.
Just to keep his claim before the public
he is going to New York state on
his own private behalf for several days
during the coming week.
The generosity of Tom Majors with
clearing and the paladin for by the railroads is notorious to all who have ever had occasion to visit
the lieutenant governor's offices while the last two legislatures were in session.
The campaign canard is always held
back until a few days before election in
order that the victim may have no time
to brand the lies as false. Watch out
for the eleventh hour accusations and
disrespect them in advance.
John Boyd Thacher as chairman of
Senator Hill's campaign committee will
be compelled to forego the awarding of
the prizes. Mr. Thacher's work of
incorporating medalists and diplomas to prize winners ended with the World's fair.
While Speaker Crisp is talking in West
Virginia he might perhaps tell Mr. Wilson's constituents why it was that he turned Mr. Springer down in favor of the West Virginian representative when he made up his ways and means committee a year ago.
The campaign in behalf of General
Weaver in the Ninth Iowa congressional district has gotten to the stage where his supporters are resorting to fake stories and even forgeries to injure his opponent. These are signs that Weaver's opponents are becoming desperate.
Any business owner, manufacturer, or railroad boss who threatens to discharge wageworkers if they do not cast their votes according to his dictates is a political highwayman on a par with the Southern Ku Klux and shotgun despots who suppressed the votes of the enfranchised negroes.
As the Lexington committee reaches up
higher for police corruption the outlook
for a continuation of Tammany control
of New York City government grows
more dismal. When the people of the
metropolis have full cognizance of the
extent to which blackmail and extortion
have been carried by public officials
they will not stop short of a clean sweep
all around,
August O. Harte, one of the republican
candidates for the legislature from
this district, is well known to the building
trades as an honest contractor and
a man of good business capacity. It
takes men of all classes and conditions
to make up a representative body of law
makers, and Mr. Harte will doubtless
make a fair representative of the industries of Omaha and Douglas county.
The experience of Cherry and Platte
counties with prairie fires should be a
warning to the farmers living on the
borders of the sand hills where such disasters are liable to recur. Very frequently it is impossible to prepare beforehand for unexpected visitations of this kind, but there are certain well
known precautions that reduce the risk
that every prudent farmer should take.
The people of Nebraska have been
stricken sorely enough by the drought
without inviting further misfortune
from the prairie fire.
A DISAPPOINTMENT, HIGHLY REGRETTED.
Thousands of Nebraska republicans
have been patiently waiting for the
promised vindication of Thomas J. Majors from the grave charges that have been hanging over his head since the
day of his nomination. These charges
were of such a grave nature that no
man aspiring to a high office could
afford to rest under them. They not
only affected the official integrity of the
candidate for governor, but his moral
standing as a public man. The opportunity for refuting these charges was
presented in the proposition embodied in
the letter addressed to the chairman of
the republican committee by the editor
of The Bee, No fairer proposal was ever
made in any campaign. The committee of clergymen named as referees occupy the front rank in their respective churches. They each represent a separate denomination, and six out of the seven are pronounced republicans. Even the controlling Journal,
whose representative called upon these ministers,
noticed that a majority were biased in
favor of Mr. Majors, and all denied that
any attempt had been made to coach
them or prejudice them against Majors.
Such a tribunal would certainly have
exonerated Mr. Majors unless, indeed,
the proofs were overwhelmingly against
him. Instead of courting this opportunity for vindication, Majors and his political managers have peremptorily declined to have his record investigated.
This is the most disgraceful backdown
that has ever been known in Nebraska
politics. It is an open confession that
the charges cannot be successfully met
in gainsay. No rational person can arrive at any other conclusion, and that will be the verdict of republicans, who have been grievously disappointed by
the failure of their standard bearer to
clear his record of the foul stain that
rests upon it.
In a government by the people, for the people, there must be an untrammeled and free expression of the popular will, through the medium of the ballot. In other words, a republican form of government can only be maintained where the will of free men is registered and voiced through public agents elected by majorities. To destroy or abridge the freedom of elections is to destroy the republic with its free institutions. Any attempt to thwart the free choice of public officials is a menace to republican institutions and subversive of the dearest rights which American citizenship confers.
When railway managers, bankers, and leaders of establishments that employ large numbers of wage workers band themselves together to compel voters who are dependent upon them for employment or candidates who happen to be in debt to elect any candidate or defeat any candidate, they are guilty of a reasonable conspiracy. No man or set of men should be allowed to dictate to a free American citizen how he shall vote on any question or for whom he shall vote. If the manager of a corporation that employs 100 wage workers coerces these voters to cast their votes as he dictates, he exercises a power that would disfranchise 100,000 freemen and make elections by such process a mere ratification of the edicts of one man or corporation. How much more dangerous is a combination of corporate managers and employers who control in the aggregate 100,000 employees and can, if they are not resisted absolutely, dictate the election or defeat of any candidate by the votes of the coerced voters.
This is the situation in Omaha and Nebraska today. It is an open secret that a species of terrorism has been inaugurated to coerce the debtor class into support of Thomas J. Majors and to force the mass of wage workers to vote for Majors by threats of blacklisting and discharge. Nothing now stands in the way of the consummation of this attempt to wrest the right of self-governance from the people of Nebraska except the Australian ballot law. The great middle class and the workingmen, who are the bulwark of free institutions in all countries, must again rise in their might and resist this high-handed attempt to deprive a free choice of public officials. A government by coerced voters would be a travesty on republican government. It would reduce the people of Nebraska to political vassalage and make her officials mere stooges doing the bidding of a corporate oligarchy.
EVERY DAY SEEMS TO INCREASE THE CHANCES OF A GREAT REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN NEW YORK. The efforts of Senator Hill to harmonize the democracy are not bearing much fruit, although he has called to his aid the chairman of the congressional campaign committee and men of influence. Tammany has made some concessions, but not enough to satisfy the candidate for governor, yet it looks as if he will get no more. Mr. Hill makes earnest appeals in his speeches for harmony, but they appear to make very little impression upon the element in the party which is antagonizing him. Such democrats as ex-Secretary Furnish in New York City and Edward M. Shepard in Brooklyn, the leaders of the Independent and reform elements in the party, seem to be immovable in their determination to do what they can to defeat Hill, and they have a considerable following. What the regulars are hoping for is a helpful word from Mr. Cleveland, but there is no indication that he will give it. The paper which is regarded as being more nearly the personal organ of the president than any other in the country, the Philadelphia Ledger, said in a late issue that if Mr. Cleveland, by speaking, could prevent the defeat of Hill "he dare not, in respect to good politics, good policy, good government, his own good intentions and consistency with his honorable record, speak them, nor is it believed he will speak them, or that if he should they would in any material degree affect the result." Of course, the Ledger believes that Hill ought to be defeated and will be. Meanwhile, the senator is making as brave a battle as the circumstances will admit of.
As to Tammany, the prospects appear to be very good for a victory over that political organization if the forces committed against it are kept in line. The withdrawal of Straus as the candidate for mayor and the substitution of ex-Mayor Grant may have helped the situation somewhat for Tammany, but Grant is being hit hard for having appointed, when he was at the head of the city government, many of the men who are responsible for much of the villainous condition revealed before the Lexow committee. If not himself implicated with these outrages, Grant has been the political creator and associate of many of the men who practiced them. Croker is the real leader of the Tammany forces and he is a resourceful politician.
The forces fighting Tammany are thus far harmonious and seem to be making a judicious as well as a vigorous campaign, while in the state at large the republicans are working hard and zealously. There is still time for surprises, but as the situation now looks, the prospect that Hill and Tammany will go to defeat together is excellent. It would be a signal victory for decent morals and good government.
THERE HAVE BEEN EXPRESSIONS RECENTLY FROM SEVERAL RESPONSIBLE DEMOCRATIC LEADERS REGARDING SILVER WHICH ARE OF MORE THAN PASSING INTEREST. Senator Harris of Tennessee, who was the manager of the tariff bill in the senate and who probably has as much authority as any democratic senator to speak for his party in that body, thinks there will be no silver legislation at the next session of congress. He is of the opinion that Mr. Cleveland would veto any bill to increase the supply of silver in the currency, and therefore that congress will not waste time preparing bills which would certainly encounter a veto. Speaker Crisp, in a speech at Nashville on Thursday, while expressing no opinion as to what the present congress may do, said that sooner or later the people will have free coinage of silver, and as Mr. Crisp has been an advocate of free coinage at the present ratio, he doubtless expects that policy will prevail. Representative M.U. Hartter of Ohio has aligned issue with his party in that state in the silver question, characterized as "Mischievous and dangerous" the platform which demands free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 of gold.
The silver question has not figured very prominently in the present campaign, except in a few states of the south, probably for the reason that the silverite advocates of free coinage realize that there is hardly a possibility of doing anything for the policy they champion during the term of the present administration. Like Senator Harris, who is for free silver coinage, they regard Mr. Cleveland's veto of the seigniorage bill as deliberate assurance that the president will not permit any new legislation in the interest of silver while he has the power to prevent it. Nevertheless, they do not propose to abandon the question. Democrats like Speaker Crisp intend to do what they can to keep it alive in public attention. If their party should be successful in electing the next house of representatives very likely nothing would be said or attempted regarding silver at the coming session, but if the party fails the silver question will receive consideration, even though there is no prospect of accomplishing anything. Another national political contest is to be fought two years hence, with which the executive and the legislative branches of the government as the stake, and the free silver democrats will appear to make themselves felt at that time.
It must not be assumed, therefore, that because this question is in abeyance it has ceased to be a live issue. Nor would it be wise to assume that there is not a great deal of popular interest in it.
The Ohio democrats maintain that it is to be the commanding question of the immediate future, and the party in the south and west is unquestionably of the same opinion. Whether free silver coinage has gained or lost in the number of its supporters it is impossible to say with any degree of certainty, but a fair estimate of the intelligence and good judgment of the American people would justify the belief that the proposal that the United States shall alone open its mines in the silver of the world at the ratio of 16 to 1 has not gained support. The danger of such a policy to the national credit and the national welfare is so obvious that it must be supposed the thorough discussion it has received has changed hundreds of thousands to opposition who formerly favored it. Absolute security against the misappropriation of this policy will be found in transferring the control of the popular branch of congress to the republican party.
FIGHT FOR THE ATCHISON DIRECTORS.
The contest now in progress in which different factions are struggling for representation upon the new directory of the bankrupt Atchison railroad will hardly add to the prestige of American railroad management at home or abroad. Into the individual merits of the respective claimants and the question whether the minority is legally entitled to the right of cumulative voting, which will insure its members not less than three places on the board, are matters which concern the stockholders rather than the public. As far as the public is interested, it would probably fare no differently whichever way the contest should be decided, since the management will doubtless pursue the same policy in the operation of the road with the directors from either faction or with a small representation of the minority among their number.
What then is the basis of the present contention? What advantage is to accrue to the men who control the directory of a bankrupt railroad? How are the directors to wield any power when the entire conduct of the road has been given over to receivers appointed by and responsible to the federal courts? What is at stake is not the management of the railroad, but the management of the negotiations looking toward its financial reorganization. The duly elected directors will be at all times consulted and will have a formal voice in framing plans for rescuing the road from insolvency. They will be the official representatives of the stockholders and will be expected to protect their interests and to see that their holdings are not sacrificed to the interests of the bondholders and other creditors. In addition to this, they will be on the inside of all the deals and will have first information as to the prospect of the adoption of one plan of reorganization or another, advantages of considerable value to stockjobbers and Wall Street manipulators, although if minor hearings upon practical railroad operations. The directors and other security holders will be anxious to have the railroad set once more on its feet without impairing the capital upon which interest is paid, any more than is absolutely necessary, while the patrons of the road, unrepresented, will be compelled to continue to pay charges upon million of watered stock and discount bonds for which there never was an equivalent in the actual investment in the property.
Such a controversy could scarcely arise in regard to a railroad over a year in the hands of receivers were it not for our peculiar way of dealing with bankrupt railroads. The receivers, appointed ostensibly to guard the interests of the creditors until such time as the assets may be realized upon, simply continue the policy of the previous management under which the property was wrecked and the same wreckers perfect a new scheme to enable them to get control again. Having despoiled the bondholders, they begin again to despoil the public dependent upon their line for transportation. How can we have honest railroad management built upon dishonest railroad capitalization? If it were the policy of the receivers to force the bankrupt railroad to foreclosure and sale and to hand it over to the purchasers to be conducted on the basis of the price actually paid for it, the control of the directory pending bankruptcy would not be worth fighting for.
Some people are trying to explain the small registration of women in Chicago and the slight interest which they have taken in the political prospects of the women candidates for office on the school ticket on the score of fear of being photographed by the hidden kodaks used for the purpose of identifying voters. We cannot conceive how it could receive any general acceptance. The woman who is inclined to vote is not the woman who is afraid of being photographed. On the contrary, the photograph feature ought to prove a powerful agent in bringing out the women voters, who are thus favored with an opportunity to cast a ballot and to be photographed free of charge at the same time. There must be other reasons keeping the women at home in Chicago.
BROKEN BOW, Oct. 24. To the Editor of The Bee: You very likely already know the result of the great remodeling rally held here recently. To find some way to conquer this part of the United States domain, many private notices were sent out by corporation leaders to individuals to get it well advertised. A final train brought Hon. J. M. Thurston and a host of the republican State nominee, who spoke here, and some few people from the neighboring towns. The profession about three-fourths of a mile was occupied by the gathering; there were about as many Broken Bow people as of others. About 3 p.m. Hon. J. M. Thurston spoke to a fair-sized audience in the public square, in the evening the state nominees took part. Hon. T. J. Majors appeared. He made a poor impression on me and I noticed that he made several grammatical blunders, he looks somewhat like a bailiff.
I never read anything in The Bee against any of the nominees but Majors and I was greatly surprised to hear when some of them came out with "The party spite of one little man."
The credit of the state was also discussed. Themos J. Majors urged the people to give their hearty support to the whole ticket. I notice once in a while that some of the republican nominees ask assistance of The Bee, and when they get it then they are ready to boom Majors and fight The Bee, I know where I speak.
The best element seems to be with The Bee and appreciates its work, while the other element lashes and throws mud. Go on with your noble work.
I have a number of times read in The Bee quite a puff for Mr. M. A. Dougherty and nothing but insult for Mr. Kern. Why should that be thus? I suppose Mr. Dougherty writes his own recommendations and then sends them to The Bee through someone, or even himself, and of course The Bee prints them. The corporations are behind Mr. Dougherty and the common people behind Mr. Kern.
Let's have fair play.
I give you the sentiment of the people. The corporations speak for themselves.

Civilization in Myrtle Plains.
NEW YORK Incomplete.
As an illustration of the fact that not every negro lynched in the south suffers this punishment for the "usual crime," we take the case of Frank H. Hood, an intelligent, well-behaved schoolteacher, who was murdered a few weeks ago near Liberty, Ames county, Missouri, by a mob of 300 white men, for no other crime than because he had written letters to the county school superintendent complaining that he was not receiving the salary promised. The letters were written plainly and honestly, but such talk to a superior white man was regarded as insolence. He heard that he was to be lynched, but he refused to run away, saying that he would take his chance. He took it and died. He had committed absolutely no offense, except that of venturing to answer back to a white man. Nobody has been arrested or punished for the crime; and yet Ames county claims to be civilized.
The Real Tom Nye.
A cross between a surcingle dude and a blustering blackguard. That is a definition of Hon. Thomas Nye by Governor Stone of Missouri. It is faulty as it is incomplete and brief, and does not contain the truth. Governor Stone has missed them all. Tom Nye wore a surcingle (In the comic paper), but he is not a dude nor a blackguard, and he never blusters. On the contrary, he is large in person, virile in his habits of thought and action to a very remarkable degree, and exceedingly reserved in his speech.

The trouble with reform is that it works in spasms; vice steadily on and grows with its years. The world, despite the croakers, is today better than it ever has been, but vice has kept pace with the world's advancing culture and refinement. Now and then, if at all, people who have money make a full of struggling or some other form of spasmodic improvement, but because it is a fad, with no principle behind it, no continuous moral force. It soon dies out and leaves us worse than we were.

The president of America gave his war secretary a thorough thrashing the other day, and almost without any preliminary remarks. This sort of impromptu scrapping may do in statesmanship, but the Sullivan of the prize ring would not descend to it before spending three months in an effort to talk each other to death.

There is nothing whatever in the character, tastes, or associations of the Grand Duke Nicholas which justifies the vague fears of the capitalists and speculators of Europe. All accounts agree that he is a youth of quiet and amiable disposition, who has a strong leaning toward Germany and toward Huguenot ways. His tastes and friendships are such as might be expected from his family ties and his blood. He leans toward the countries of his kinsfolk rather than to France, and however distasteful this fact may be to the Parisian mobs still clamoring for revenge upon Germany, it augurs well for the peace of Europe. Let it once appear settled that France can hope for no aid from Russia in any attack upon Germany, and there will be no danger of war upon the triple alliance as long as French diplomats can avoid difficulties. As far as the policy of the future sovereign of Russia can be foreseen, it will be directed in the line of internal improvement rather than foreign conquests or war for war's sake. There is reason to believe that the young prince who will soon be the monarch of the only great power of Europe in which the sovereign is still the chief part of the state and the dominant force of the government, has worthy and peaceable ambitions for his country. He is known to admire the ways and people of some of the most advanced powers of the world, and he will be more likely to strive to lift Russia up to the level of Germany and England in the arts and industries of peace than to court the destructive and doubtful ordeal of a great war. Nothing that has ever been made public regarding the prospective emperor of Russia indicates that he is a firebrand by nature. The nervousness of the exchanges of Europe over the impending change on the Russian throne has its only excuse in the chronic dangers of the tremendous armament of the great powers of that soldier-burdened continent.
The fact that many dispatches concerning the condition of the czar and the councils of the doctors at Livadia are sent from St. Petersburg is misleading to readers who suppose that the two places are not far apart, or that Livadia is the name of the Imperial residence in the Russian capital. On the contrary, Livadia is about 1,000 miles south of St. Petersburg, and is on the south shore of the Crimea. In climate, vegetable products, and industries that region resembles Italy more than it does the other part of Russia. The peninsula of the Crimea is so projected into the Black Sea, and its southern shore is so protected from the cold winds that sweep the low and level plain which constitutes the northern portion of the country, that the fig and pomegranate flourish there, and it is a region of vineyards and pleasure and health resorts, like the French and Italian Rivieras. On the finest part of this most genial coast which the vast Russian empire boasts is situated the famous Imperial and aristocratic watering palace, known as Livadia, and it is there that the czar is passing the last days of his life. The reason that the dispatches which tell all that is permitted to be made public concerning the royal sufferer at Livadia are sent from St. Petersburg is that the Russian censorship of the press is especially strict in times like the present, and news for foreign lands must come almost wholly through the capital. The Imperial palace at Livadia is so surrounded by cordons of troops that it is impossible for news from the emperor's sick room to reach the outside world except through authorized or very indirect channels.
Religious liberty has been granted in Hungary by both houses of Parliament to the extent that five leading religious bodies are recognized by the government, and citizens are given the right to belong to which of them they choose. These five are Roman Catholics, old Catholics, Greek church, Armenians, Unitarians, Lutherans, the adherents to the Augsburg and Helvetian confessions, and Jews. The doctrinal and moral teachings of these bodies have been approved by the government, and they are each and all under the protection of the state. Practically the religious liberty of the Hungarian is greater than appears from this description. He may belong to any denomination he pleases, whether it be recognized by the government or not, and it is said to be easy to obtain government sanction for any body whose tenets are neither immoral nor illegal. It is necessary to get permission to hold public worship, but this is usually obtained without difficulty. The only danger is that, as has often happened, the Roman Catholic influence may be strong enough locally to cause a denial of this permission to hold Protestant worship by other than the permitted denominations. It is this danger and the desire to break the hold of the Roman Catholic on the civil power which has been the motive of the attempt to abolish all restrictions upon worship. A bill to this effect passed the lower house by a large majority and was beaten by the nobles, but in spite of this defeat religious liberty is practically assured in Hungary.
The successes of the socialists in Germany seem to be due quite as much to the supineness of their opponents as to their own persistent energy. An illustration of this may be found in the recent elections for the courts of Industry in Berlin. The socialists, as usual, had made great exertions, but the parties of order had scarcely moved a finger.
The workmen nominated by the social democrats, one and all, were elected, and they also succeeded in securing in six cases the election of the employers whose candidature they supported. Out of these six seats only two hitherto had been in the hands of the socialists. This might be thought an isolated case, and one scarcely to be avoided in a town which, like Berlin, is saturated with social democracy, but similar reports of victories at the elections for the Industrial courts come from Erfurt, Gera, and Mulhausen, in Thuringen. At Erfurt the socialists secured the election of seven out of thirteen employers, and, in Berlin, of all their workmen candidates. It is true that in Berlin, of the 7,400 eligible to vote, only 4.4 percent exercised their right at the election. There is, therefore, very little cause for surprise in the rapid spread of the social democracy.
India has been densely populated for thousands of years, and at this time it contains very nearly 300,000,000 inhabitants. Yet large regions of the country are haunted by ferocious beasts and by poisonous reptiles which destroy human life. We learn from a recently printed British blue book upon Indian affairs that in the year before last, as many as 22,000 people were killed there by snakes and wild beasts, including over 17,000 of them, or over 8,000, by snake bites, and over 1,200 by tigers and leopards. Those ferocious enemies of mankind are not less the enemies of tamed cattle, 7,000 of which were destroyed by them and 4,000 poisoned. The terrible destruction of human beings and domesticated animals in India is largely due to the Hindu doctrine of the wrongfulness of killing any living thing, on account of the danger to souls in the course of transmigration. A pious Hindu would rather be poisoned by a snake or eaten by a tiger than kill either of them. The British-Indian authorities have long striven to reduce the number of hostile reptiles and beasts, but the figures given in the blue book "here spoken of are not evidence of their success down to this time.
The stir that was made by the report of the death of the ameer of Afghanistan shows what a tension there is in the politics of eastern Asia. The tension, indeed, is chronic and becomes acute whenever any change is threatened in the government of the "buffer state" between British and Russian possessions. The ruler of the state, if he lives up to his privileges, can extract many valuable concessions from his powerful neighbors. The British impression seems to be that British interests are not as likely to be taken care of by the successor of the ameer as they have been by the ameer himself. This belief accounts for the speculation, whether the rumor be true or not, of the advance of British troops in the direction of the Khyber pass. It is certain that Great Britain cannot afford to relax her vigilance upon the northern frontier of India.

Clustered at the neck.

M. rrunklln.
There -was an unusually large attendance
at Temple Israel last night on thoi occasion
of a. lecture by Rev. Leo Franklin on "The
Literature of the Jew. "
Jti discussing the subject. Dr. Franklin said
that It was astonishing after so many cen
turies of parsectitlon the Jews were enabled
In Htunil firm and ll/t up their voices In
priilse of their fathers. It was also aston
ishing that they had been able to retain
their Individuality through all of tin- trying
Units of tha past. He was glad that they
had not succumbed to the foe , but Instead
luiil continued to advance step by step In all
of thu arts and tha sciences. This was some
thing that won grand to contemplate and It
was apparent that In tha struggle for life
the JCWH had not given IhenuclvcM up en
tirely to Iho material things of earth. In all
times Israel had been buoyed up by this do-
Hire to attain the position where the people
were at this tlmo In the literary world. Dur
ing the dark dayn when the Romans were
overrunning the old world even then the-
JPWH vsere yearning for the truth , learning
of art , philosophy and science. People with
out the desire for literature , the speaker con
tended , belonged to n lower order , mentally ,
nnd could never reach a high plane of civiliza
tion.

the old Jewish -writers there were many who

ing and mourning , but at a later period Israel
developed again until she turned out scholars
who were learned In religion , ethics , science
and art until the depth of knowledge was
something that was marvelous. There were
universities , schooln of medicine and music.
Learning was scattered broadcast to such an
extent that In Spain , where the Hebrews were

subject from the IMltsuurg charter , In which
It was provided that no property should bo

suggestion was discussed without action *

Mr. Wyman took the ground that the city
was now getting Us work done by contract
as economically as it could be done. He
nlso thought that If the city had charge of
n largo force of men It would give too much
political Influenceto , the men who had them
In charge.
Mayor Demls read an nrtlcla from a Den
ver paper to show that a saving of 25 per
cent had been made In sewer construction
In that city by the employment of day labor.
The article furnished a detailed report of
the methods employed , and concluded that
the character of the work TIUJ superior to
what had been done under contract. The
clipping was referred to the subcommittee.
Mr. Wlnspear stated that under the con
tract system the Inspectors and the en
glneors were constantly fighting the deter
initiation of the contractors to put In poor
material. If the work was done by day
labor and all the material was furnished by
the city , there would at least be a better
class of material used than under the present
system. The whole matter was finally rea
for red back to the committee for further con0
sldoratlon.
The committee adjourned until Monday
night , and the secretary was Instructed to
notify all legislative candidates to bo presti
ent. next Thursday night to state their potl

WASHINGTON , Oct. 20. Another cass > ot
smallpox uas developed this morning. James
I. Parker of Infllana , a law clerk In the di
vision where the other cases were reported ,
was the victim. Secretary Smith Issued di
rections today to have the department closed
tomorrow. This action was taken before the
secretary was aware of the new case Ho
aald the order to close was on account of the
fumigation of several rooms In the building
which was very dlsaRreable to the persons
employed thorelit. It Is expected that In
consequence ol the discovery of the new case
the department will be closed this afternoon ,
as each fresh case becomes traceable to con
tact with persons employed In.the department ,
The patients In the hospitals are reported as
doing well.
The smallpox scare at the Interior depart
ment , far from abating , gathered force rtur-
liiK the forenoon , and by the time the clerks
came back to work after their lunch at noon
a state of panic prevailed The case of
Owens , a messenger , when It became known ,
was the most serious of the smallpot at
tacks. Ouotis Is the messenger to the chief
clerk , and It was part of his duty to ills-
tribute documents to the several bureaus of
the department In this way ho came Into
contact with about every branch of the
service under Secretary Hoko Smith , and
may have been the cause ot the spread of
the disease. Dr. Woodward , the health ofll-
tlCi of the district , madean urjjent appeal to
Secretary Smith to close the- entire Interior
department In the , Interest of public health ,
and In accordance , with the request an order
was Issued thla afternoon closing every
bureau ot the department.
The closing ot the Interior department
will last until Monday , and employes will
hive a holiday until then. Thoao who have
been particularly exposed to Infection by
contact with the people of the afflicted law
division hive been grated leave tor twelve
days. The department will be opened on
Monday , but no clerks will admitted who
have not been vaccinated , and meanwhile
the building will be fumigated.
This applies to the secretary's offlce ,
census offlce , patent office , general
land ofllce , miscellaneous division , railroad
division and Indian agencies division , all ot
which are In the Interior department build
ing. The Indian bureau , geological survey

Populista Auk for a Writ of Mandamus
Against the Secretary of State.
THINK HOLCOMB UNFAIRLY TREATED
In the case that J. A. Holcomb, secretary of the People's Independent party, applied to the district court for a writ of mandamus to compel the secretary of state to change the form of the ticket so that the name of an endorsed candidate shall have the party he represents bracketed. As the ticket now reads, the name of Silas A. Holcomb is followed by the words "Democrat-People's Independent" on one line, and the petitioners demand that the ticket shall read:
SILAS A. HOLCOMB, People's Independent
HOLOMBEK- Democrat
The case will be heard at 11 o'clock tomorrow.
Those who have seen the ballot have been indulging in some speculation as to how the illiterate voter is going to discover his particular brand of politics, as, for instance, in the case of the secretary of state, whether he is a "democrat" " " " or a "straight democrat."
The clerks and typewriters in the office of the secretary of state have been busy today in preparing and sending out to the county clerks of the state the official ballots. On the sample sent out there are eight varieties of politics, as follows: prohibitionists, Republicans, Democrats, straight Democrats, Democrat-People's Independent, People's Independent, Free Silver Democrat-People's Independent, and one Democrat-by-petition-Republican in the person of Matt Dougherty.
IN THIS COURTS.
Induce Tibbets and a Jury were engaged today in hearing the case of George Hushngan against the Lincoln Street Hallway company. The plaintiff says that one day in July, 1891, he got on a Tenth street car and when the conductor came around after the fares he tendered 25 cents for six tickets. The conductor refused to have it that way, demanding a straight 5 cent fare. Plaintiff alleges that the employees then put him off the car with great force and violence, causing him much pain.
The company admits all the facts alleged by the plaintiff except as to the injuries. They say that Hush was put off the car with as little force as possible. Hush sues for $1,000.

LITERATURE "OF THE JEW.
Part of the Course on Lectures by Rev. Dr. Rankin.
There was an unusually large attendance at Temple Israel last night on the occasion of a lecture by Rev. Leo Franklin on "The Literature of the Jews." Discussing the subject, Dr. Franklin said that it was astonishing after so many centuries of persecution the Jews were enabled in Spain and elsewhere to stand firm and lift up their voices in praise of their fathers. It was also astonishing that they had been able to retain their individuality through all of the trying times of the past. He was glad that they had not succumbed to the foe, but instead had continued to advance step by step in all of the arts and the sciences. This was something that won grand to contemplate and it was apparent that in the struggle for life the Jews had not given themselves up entirely to the material things of earth. In all times Israel had been buoyed up by this desire to attain the position where the people were at this time in the literary world. During the dark days when the Romans were overrunning the old world even then the Jews were yearning for the truth, learning of art, philosophy, and science. People without the desire for literature, the speaker contended, belonged to a lower order, mentally, and could never reach a high plane of civilization.
When the persecution against the Jews was most bitter, Rev. Franklin urged, then they soared to the most lofty intellectual heights, as the writings of Isaiah and the psalmists would bear testimony. The natural tendency was for high and noble things, and among the old Jewish writers there were many who wrote upon subjects aside from ethics and theology. The bible was the foundation of all literature. It was the basis of every legal and moral code and it was the production of Jewish writers.
Translating the bible from Hebrew to Greek was one of the greatest achievements that the world had ever seen. While this was going on, destruction was being wrought and Jerusalem was being invaded by the Romans. The temple, the state house of the assembly, was laid low and the national life was cut to the heart. There was weeping and mourning, but at a later period Israel developed again until she turned out scholars who were learned in religion, ethics, science, and art until the depth of knowledge was something that was marvelous. There were universities, schools of medicine and music. Learning was scattered broadcast to such an extent that in Spain, where the Hebrews were numerous, from the eighth to the sixteenth century, there was more literature than in all of the rest of the country put together.
Looking down the aisles of time Mr. Frank insisted that during the reign of the Crusaders Jewish literature made many rapid strides in Italy, Germany, and southern Europe until it had become a thing that wise men respected and good men honored.

BY CONTRACT OR DAY LABOR.
Charter Amendment Committee Meeting
The meeting of the charter amendment committee last night the resignation of J.L. Kennedy was accepted, Mr. Kennedy was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of W.S. Poppleton, but could not serve on account of previous engagement.
The matter of assessment was recalled by Major Wheeler, who read a provision on the subject from the Pittsburgh charter, in which it was provided that no property should be assessed for less than the consideration mentioned in the last recorded sale unless improvements had been removed or destroyed. He suggested that such a provision, if included in the Omaha charter, might be useful in furnishing a basis for assessment and assuring the raising of the valuation to the point contemplated by the committee. The suggestion was discussed without action.
The question of making such public improvements as are to be paid for by general tax by day labor in the discretion of the mayor and council was brought up by the report of the subcommittee with a draft of a bill according to the previous action of the committee.
Mr. Wyman took the ground that the city was now getting its work done by contract as economically as it could be done. He also thought that if the city had charge of a large force of men it would give too much political influence to the men who had them in charge.
Mayor Demis read an article from a Denver paper to show that a saving of 25 percent had been made in sewer construction in that city by the employment of day labor. The article furnished a detailed report of the methods employed, and concluded that the character of the work was superior to what had been done under contract. The clipping was referred to the subcommittee.
Mr. Winspear stated that under the contract system the inspectors and the engineers were constantly fighting the determination of the contractors to put in poor material. If the work was done by day labor and all the material was furnished by the city, there would at least be a better class of material used than under the present system. The whole matter was finally referred back to the committee for further consideration.
The committee adjourned until Monday night, and the secretary was instructed to notify all legislative candidates to be present next Thursday night to state their position on the amendments proposed by the committee.

After a short musical program, Rev. Frank Crane, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church, welcomed the new pastor to the city. Presiding Elder J.L. Maxwell delivered a short address, in which he had the new pastor welcome to his district.

CLERKS ARE PANIC STRICKEN Another Case of Smallpox Appears in the Interior Department. BUILDING WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL MONDAY All Employees Are Known to Have Been Exposed Home Given a Double Order
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. Another case of smallpox was developed this morning. James I. Parker of Indiana, a law clerk in the division where the other cases were reported, was the victim. Secretary Smith Issued directions today to have the department closed tomorrow. This action was taken before the secretary was aware of the new case. He said the order to close was on account of the fumigation of several rooms in the building which was very disagreeable to the persons employed there. It is expected that as a consequence of the discovery of the new case, the department will be closed this afternoon.
The smallpox scare at the Interior department, far from abating, gathered force throughout the forenoon, and by the time the clerks came back to work after their lunch at noon, a state of panic prevailed. The case of Owens, a messenger, when it became known, was the most serious of the smallpox attacks. Owens is the messenger to the chief clerk, and it was part of his duty to distribute documents to the several bureaus of the department. In this way, he came into contact with about every branch of the service under Secretary Hokk Smith, and may have been the cause of the spread of the disease. Dr. Woodward, the health officer of the district, made an urgent appeal to Secretary Smith to close the entire Interior department in the interest of public health, and in accordance with the request, an order was Issued this afternoon closing every bureau of the department.
The closing of the Interior department will last until Monday, and employees will have a holiday until then. Those who have been particularly exposed to infection by contact with the people of the afflicted law division have been granted leave for twelve days. The department will be opened on Monday, but no clerks will be admitted who have not been vaccinated, and meanwhile, the building will be fumigated.
This applies to the secretary's office, census office, patent office, general land office, miscellaneous division, railroad division, and Indian agencies division, all of which are in the Interior department building. The Indian bureau, geological survey, and pension office are located in other buildings, and probably will remain open.
The intelligent housewife prefers Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, and will have no other.
Olney Thinks Attorney General is Correct WASHINGTON. Oct. 26. Attorney General Olney, speaking today of the statement of the assistant district attorney at Kansas City that there was no law by which election frauds could be punished in the United States court, will say that, without thinking authoritatively as he would on a careful examination of the statutes, he is of the opinion that the Kansas City attorney is correct. By the act passed by congress last February repealing the federal elections law, congress had done away with all election paraphernalia, so far as the United States courts were concerned, and had taken away their jurisdiction. At the same time, there was no doubt in his mind but that state laws were in existence by virtue of which election frauds, whether of registration or of voting, could be punished in state courts.
Lead Trust Worked the Government WASHINGTON. Oct. 30.-The National Lead company of New York is being investigated by the Treasury department. It is charged that while white lead was manufactured partly from imported and partly from domestic pig, the company received rebates on the whole amount of white lead it reported. Between $3000 and $5000 is involved.

Grain Markets Were Extremely Dull Yesterday
Wheat Opened Just a Trifle Firmer
Brink of Collapse Was Too Narrow to Make Much Off
One hour or so after the opening, and the market seemed to settle into a dull pattern, with foreign markets presenting a solid resistance in wheat, while corn and oats closed much tighter. Provisions were weak and mostly unchanging, with a slight decline in December, but December wheat managed to hold on to its gains, closing slightly higher after a volatile session. Chicago's grain market was extremely dull yesterday, with foreign interest in wheat keeping prices steady, but corn and oats saw mixed trading, with corn recovering slightly and oats closing lower. The New York market was generally quiet, with prices for February wheat holding steady at 50 1/2c, corn was mixed, with February rising to 27 1/2c, and oats closing lower at 27 1/2c. Louisville's provisions market was dominated by a significant decline in pork, with December futures dropping to 85 1/2c, a clear indication of the bearish sentiment in the market. The closing prices for the day were as follows:
Chicago
Wheat - No. 2 hard, 48 1/2c; No. 2 spring, 27 1/2c.
Corn - No. 2, 26 1/2c; No. 3, 25 1/2c; No. 4, 20 1/2c.
Oats - No. 2, 27 1/2c; No. 3 white, 30 1/2c.
Provisions - Pork, 85 1/2c; Lard, 11 65c; Butter, 27c; Eggs, 17 1/2c.
New York
Wheat - February, 50 1/2c; May, 52 1/2c.
Corn - February, 27 1/2c; May, 28 1/2c.
Oats - February, 27 1/2c; May, 28 1/2c.
Louisville
Provisions - Pork, 87 1/2c; Lard, 11 75c; Butter, 28 1/2c; Eggs, 21 1/2c.
Western states' options remained firm throughout the trade, closing unchanging to a slight net decline in February. March closed at 35 cents, while October and November both closed at 31 cents. December's trading saw a slight increase, with prices ranging from 32 to 32.5 cents, closing at 32.5 cents. HAY-Dull, steady at 4.5 cents, traded to choice. WHEAT-Weak: states, common to choice, traded at 70.5 cents, while new, firm, and well-salted Orleans sugar traded at 45 to 50 pounds. RYE-Quality steady, hemlock sole traded at 18.5 to 19 cents; feather down moderately active, with prices ranging from 95 to 100 cents. COCOA-Extra steady, with prices averaging $14.60 per cwt. TALLOW-Firm, with mixed reports from various markets. BEESWAX-Qualities steady, with prices ranging from 30 to 33 cents. COCOA-Qualities steady, with prices averaging $3.65 for common and $4 for good. LARD-Steady, with firm demand from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh. But butter, which had been strong, showed signs of weakness today, trading at 27 to 28 cents. SUGAR-Firm, with New Orleans and New York prices both steady, trading at 3.73 cents. COFFEE-Steady, with Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York prices all unchanged. Indications point to a slightly higher market next week. COCONUT-Oil steady, with fair demand from New York and Philadelphia. CRUDES-Firm, with Liverpool prices ranging from 85 to 90 cents for common and from 100 to 102 cents for good. COPPER-Steady, with Liverpool prices at 37.5 to 38 cents. GOLD-Steady, with New York prices unchanged at $5.15. CORN-Qualities steady, with mixed reports from various markets. Grain markets in Minneapolis were generally stable today, with only modest movements in prices. Northern and hard wheat traded at 17.40 cents, while no. 2 Northern traded at 16.50 cents. Receipts for oats were moderate, with prices remaining steady at 4 cents for city and 3.5 cents for country. PROVISIONS-Firm, with mixed reports from various markets. Chicago's market showed firmness, with pork at 11.5 cents and lard at 6.5 cents. The butter market was steady, with prices averaging 27.5 to 28 cents. The poultry market was generally firm, with prices for prime poultry at 8.5 to 9 cents. Minneapolis's market was steady, with live poultry trading at 6.5 to 7 cents and dressed poultry at 6.5 cents.
Our boast is to be sure, living within reach of the city's great wealth. Old apples, given an appearance by the cold weather, will clothe the plumper lakes, providing a splendid source of nutrition for the coming week.
The king, however, favors fair treatment and offers a choice selection for those seeking premium produce. Among these, the remnants of winter, preserved in glass jars, stand out as a reminder of the season's stark reality. Despite the scarcity, merchants are encouraged by the prospect of spring, knowing that the revival of trade will come with the thaw.
Ducks and turkeys, once the envy of those striving for a festive meal, now occupy a new role as a light, fresh start to the new year. As the market shifts, so does the emphasis, from the lard to the lean, marking a turning point in culinary preferences.
For those in the know, January's arrivals bring a particular delight, with premium oranges, grapes, and bananas finding their way to the city. These fruit, carefully selected, promise a taste of the tropics amid the harsh winter months.
In the meat department, the focus is on quality over quantity, with prime cuts taking center stage. The old tradition of butchery gives way to a more scientific approach, ensuring that each pound carries the promise of flavor and tenderness.
The produce section, meanwhile, showcases the best of the season, with potatoes, turnips, and carrots standing out as symbols of sustainability and local sourcing. These roots, presented with care, speak to a time when eating seasonally was a matter of necessity rather than a luxury.
For those seeking something truly special, the bakery offers an array of tempting treats, from freshly baked bread to decadent pastries. Here, the art of baking is alive, with each loaf and pastry testament to the skill and passion of the artisan.
As the new year ushers in a time of hope and renewal, the market stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of enterprise and the promise of better times ahead. Here, amid the bustle of commerce, lies the essence of progress, where each day brings the opportunity for growth and transformation.

HOUSING The market was strong to a little higher after the turn prices have experienced in recent weeks. There was not over heavy trading in the early reports from Chicago were in the same favorable track as the principal beefs, but there was a considerable amount of business done to make trade. In most cases, the indifferent weight and lighter animals sold from 14 CO to 1460 and one offered 317-11. The light and medium heavy stuff sold from J4 50 down to 6 K. The pigs and stock hogs were in very fair demand at right to steady prices, from 6 25 to 4 25 > Early steers moved and the feeding broke, but the market weakened considerably in the afternoon, especially in the early receipts which lost very little. There were 111 left in Mr. Hand's market, having weathered the storm with the early movement, but the market declined with the early supplies, losing very little. The sales were from 6 50 to 11 CO on Thursday, firm to 4 75 on last night's report.

oiuo klmla of business , b\it , on the whole ,
uslnes.i Irullc.itlutiH are rather more favor-
bio tlmn they were n week ago. Gold eio
orta have ceased , nulte a number of mills
living vone Into operation anil the dewnnd
or products , If not equal to that of proa-
icroua years , Is better tlmn It bus been
neat of the time thin your. The prices of
nrm products do not Improve much and
here are still Home strikes to resist red tic-
Ion of wattes , so that the inirelwsliiK power
f the people cannot have materially Iti-
rcaseil , but there In u more hopeful spirit ,
vhlch prompts in-outer activity. On the
ther hand , the recurd of past transactions
s somewhat IPSH favorable tlmn of lute.
aymenta throUKh the principal eloai'lrjr
lousca throughout the country show a Ue-
n-nse of 1.2 per rent compared with last
ear. and u decrease of 21. tf per cent , com-

r < > ase for four weeks bcliiK 2U 8 per cent.
Cotton IIRH sold nt 5. fit cents for tnUlillltiK
iplandB , nml the law receipts nt such low
irlces Indicate cleailv that the crop will at
east be close to the larsest. If not the
st , ever produced. The anticipated settle-
ncnt of dimciiltk's at Fall I liver has not
ieen realized , and nt present a KO I ! many
plndles and looms lire Idle. Hut striken are-
vnipornry ; n more lasting Inltuenco IM the
RI-RO accumulation of cotton In the world'H
ntnrhctB , the stock of American In tdKht
, ow exceeding 2,000.000 , bales. It Is Inlcrcst-
na that In splitof the low prlee of the
innclpal southern crop manufacturers and
vholraulo dculern icitnrt rather more lin-
iroveincnt In trade with the south than with
my other section.
The wheat nmrket Is lower and nolhlnfi
ippcara to Justify any Important chaiws.
ustern receipts have been I.81B.571 bushels ,
iKUlnst G.ZiG.bi'S bushels last year , and At-
antle exports only Gjl"G.t ! , busheln. against
, V6'iM6 bushels last year. Corn IH higher ,
vlthout any very clear reason , and it 1ft.
loteworthy that nt the same time pork la
5 cents lower , Inrd 35 cents per 100 pounds ,
ind hog's 40 cents lower. The contrast In-
llcatod shows how little- the provision mar-
< et depends at present on natural relations
of supply and clcmand.
In Iron anil steel the west shown weak
ness , while the eastern markets show more
[ Mieourasement. Nothing of consequence IH
lolncIn rails , deliveries 'for the yeir to
) ctoUer 1 being only 1DO.I K > tons , which Is
joU > w ordinary requirements for renewals
ilnne. In structural work Home moderate
contracts are reported , but liar Iron IB ex
tremely dull , and It Is said that the low
irlces reported lust week , ! l cents for Iron
ind $1 fi.r steel , have been shaded In some
ransactlons. There Is n decline In wire ,
I. SO being quoted for galvanized barbed and
2J 50 for wire rods. The best feature Is
hat the heavy Inciease In the output of
lK does not seem to overload the market
ml there are rntlier less signs of pressure
o sell than of late.
The demand for wool Is not as large as It
iis been , and while prices have scarcely
hanged for two weeks , sales are but 4,301-
250 pounds , against Ti.TTS.TM pounds In 1892 ,
ind for four weeks 19,4,11,719 , pounds , against
Jj,744,7i7) pounds In 1893. Trices were put
town before the new tariff look effect , so
hat results of foreign competition are felt
nnlnly In reduced sales of Home domestic
vocls. The failures for the week were231
n the United States , against 352 last year ,
and fifty-two In Canada , against forty-four
ast year. _

CLAIRVOYANTS.
NO PERSON CONSULTING THE PROFESSIONAL CLAIRVOYANT, Professor Alms will ever be disappointed. Invariable satisfaction resulted in all cases, as proved by innumerable testimonials.
In health, wealth, happiness, all in trouble, depression, or doubt, will find positive relief and assurance of incalculable benefit by consulting the most celebrated clairvoyant in the United States. The professor's powers are of marvelous character, unsurpassed by any known medium or future reader. His success in solving vital problems and untimely deaths, etc., and his ability to help you now, is beyond compare.
Interact with him and you will say he is the greatest clairvoyant of our time; he alone can answer your every question. His success is due to his possessing the rarest powers which enable him to carry out all he promises. He overcomes your obstacles, removes family troubles, restores affection, calls happiness into your marriage with the one you love, tempts evil influences, bad habits, gives correct information on legal issues, divorces, etc. An excellent medium for those in need of advice, he gives invaluable counsel to ladies and gentlemen on love, courtship, marriage, and how to choose a wife or husband for future happiness; which business is best disposed to speculate in riches; telling if the one you love is true or false; stock speculations a specialty. The professor does not profess to return to his old methods as Egyptian clairvoyants and other frivolities. He is no fortune teller, but a life reader from the laws of science, that is, clairvoyant, and those who have been disappointed by pretenders the professor will tell you before trying up in despair, as he guarantees prompt benefit. Correspondence strictly confidential. Pond stamp for reply. Remember the number, 3264 North 18th Street, corner Cherry Street, Mat A, 9 to 9, Sundays included. 8-822

Be sure to examine them before you buy. Parties who value the stock of the best range of stoves on the market must buy either the favorite Ilarnesburner or the Oak heating stove.

DUN & BRADSTREET'S
business in the Whole More Favorable Than
a Week Ago.
PRICES OF FARM PRODUCTS UNIMPROVED
While Wheat, Corn, and Pork Products show no
decline, the Iron Production
NEW YORK, Oct. 86.-In O. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
political excitement in many of
the states causes a natural slowing down of business, but, on the whole,
conditions are rather more favorable than they were a week ago. Gold exports have ceased, a number of mills have resumed operation and the demand
for products, if not equal to that of prosperous years, is better than it has been
recently. The prices of farm products do not improve much and there are still some strikes to resist reduction of wages, so that the industrial power
of the people cannot have materially increased, but there is a more hopeful spirit,
which prompts increased activity. On the other hand, the record of past transactions
is somewhat more favorable than that of late. Payments through the principal clearing
houses throughout the country show a decrease of 12 per cent compared with last
year, and a decrease of 21. tf per cent, compared with the same week in 1892, the decrease for four weeks being 28.08 per cent.
Cotton futures sold at 5.35 cents for September
deliveries, and the leaf receipts at such low prices indicate clearly that the crop will at
least be close to the largest, if not the
largest ever produced. The anticipated settlement of difficulties at Fall River has not
been realized, and at present a large number of spindles and looms are idle. But strikes are
unpardonable; a more lasting influence is the over accumulation of cotton in the world's
manufactures, the stock of American in the south, which exceeds 2,000,000 bales. It is interesting that in spite of the low price of the
principal southern crop, manufacturers and wholesalers receive rather more improvement in trade with the south than with any other section.
The wheat market is lower and nothing appears to justify any important change.
Southern receipts have been 13,408,571 bushels,
against 42,636,078 bushels last year, and Atlanta exports only 6,635,725 bushels, against
9,566,258 bushels last year. Corn is higher, without any very clear reason, and it is noteworthy that at the same time pork is
5 cents lower, lard 35 cents per 100 pounds,
and hogs 40 cents lower. The contrast indicated shows how little the provision market depends at present on natural relations
of supply and demand.
In Iron and steel, the west shows weakness, while the eastern markets show more
improvement. Nothing of consequence is
happening in rails; deliveries for the year to
December 1 being only 1,380,000 tons, which is
less than ordinary requirements for renewals
alone. In structural work, some moderate
contracts are reported, but bar Iron is extremely dull, and it is said that the low prices
reported last week, 3 cents for Iron and $1.50 for steel, have been shaded in some
transactions. There is a decline in wire,
5 cents being quoted for galvanized barbed and
2.50 cents for wire rods. The best feature is
that the heavy increase in the output of steel
does not seem to overload the market and there are rather less signs of pressure to sell
than of late.
The demand for wool is not as large as it
has been, and while prices have scarcely
changed for two weeks, sales are but 4,301-250 pounds, against 7,401,250 pounds last year,
and for four weeks 19,416,719 pounds, against
8,744,757 pounds last year. Prices were put
down before the new tariff took effect, so that
results of foreign competition are felt only in reduced sales of home domestic wool. The failures for the week were 231 in the United States, against 352 last year,
and 52 in Canada, against 44 last year.
Henzhurst's Telegraph Review.
NEW YORK. Oct. 26. Broadway's tomorrow will say: Merchants Interviewed in various portions of the country report in some instances the condition of business as having realized anticipations, and at other points that the recent bright outlook for trade is modified. Such advices are affected in part on the practical conclusion of fall trade and delays in demand for holiday goods. Dealers in dry goods, clothing, groceries, shoes, hats and a few other lines have had relatively the more satisfactory volume of business, although in many instances fault has been found with the totals shipped.
General trade continues checked throughout.

SAFETY VAULT BOXES OPENED
Local Bank Officials and Police Trying to
Solve a Puzzle.
OMAHA NATIONAL SUFFERS LARGE LOSSES
Veep Mjrstcrjr Surrounding thn ItrrakliiK
Into of < hu VniilU Connected with the
Iliink Jlnll lliif-riirtlni | Mho I lull
Their Money Mlstlni ; .
The general belief that a safety deposit
vault ls absolutely rvcure against loss by
theft or fire hut been rudely dispelled In
Omaha by the discovery that large sums of
money have been mysteriously taken from
boxes In the safety vaults of the Omaha
National bank. The discovery was made
more than two weeks ago and every pre
caution has been taken by the bank olllclals
to keep the matter a close secret. Chief of
Police Seavoy and one of h.s detectives have
been working Industriously upon the caio
and J. II. Mlllard , president of the Omaha
National hank , has given the larger share
of his time since the discovery to an effort
to unravel the mystery sunoundlng the case.
Ho has even rnado a trip to Chicago for the
purpose of making a special Investigation
Into the workings of the safety deposit sys
tems In that c ty , to discover , If possible ,
whether any Important precautionary mea
sures hail been nrgUcted In the Omaha vault
sy.tem.
WHO TUB I..OSKHS ARE.
The principal loser In the case Is William
Glndtsli , thu dtugKlst at Twelfth and Dodge
utricle. Sir. ( Jladlsh has been the lensee
of a box In the vaults of the Omaha National
for a number of years. Last March he
placed In Ma box the bum of $2,700 In gold.
On October 5 he discovered that about ? lf > 00
ot the amount was mining. He at unco
notified Mr Mlilurd. anil the Investigation
commenced. Mr. Mlllard called In Chief of
Police Seavey , and a detective has had charge
of the case ever since. So far , however , all
efforts to discover the manner In which the
money was lost have failed , and the bank au
thorities , us well as the police , arc as much
In the dark as ever.
Another party who claims to ha\o lost
money from 'hoault Is IJIanche Wilson ,
proprietress of a resort on Ninth strent.
Jllss Wilson claims that three $100 bills
have been abstracted from her box and that
Ktio has no means of knowing how the
money was lost. She discovered her loss
over a year ago , but for some reason has
taken no action In the matte ; until recently.
She has now engaged an attorney and made
nfllilavlt to the particulars.
Very naturally the discovery ot the losses
has overwhelmed the Omaha National olllcluls
with perplexity They pHce every reliance
upon the parties who have any connection
with the management of the vaults and are
thoroughly In the dark as to ho\v the losses
could have occurred.
President Mlllard stated to a Bee reporter
yesterday that the report of the losses
came to htm as one of the grcalst surprises
of hh life. The vaults are under the manage
ment of lira , Mary McAusland , n very estlma-
l > lo lady who la In every way fitted for the
responsible position she occupies. No shadow ,
of suspicion exists that the losses have oc
curred through her knowledge or connivance
In fact , It would be absolutely Impossible * for
any qne , not entitled to open a box In the
vaults , to do so without her assistance.
WOMAN POSSIBLY SUSPKCTI3D.
'Mr. Oladlsh was'iccn last night , but he
refused to say anything pgsltlvely. From
his conversation , however. It could be Inferred
that ho lost more than was supposed at first.
lie spoke of ? 1GOO or $1,800 ns the amount
of his loss. Ho also stated that the sus
pected party was out of town , or hidden at
the present time. Who was suspected he
refused to say , but In the conversation he
remarked "that a < woman was harder to
entch than a man. " The police are equally
silent about tin- matter ,
Mrs. McAusland said that she was In
charge of the vaults most of the time , and
who.n she was absent , some trusted employe
of the bank was delegated to attend to them.
No one could enter the vaults without her
knowledge , and she said that as far as she
knew no one had opened Mr. CUdish's box
except his wife. In regard to Miss Wilson's
lt > 3S , Mrs. McAusland was Inclined to think
that It was a mistake. Other questions Mrs.
McAusland politely refused to answer.
Dl&nchc Wilson said that she lost $300
tbout a year ago , She had lost her box key ,
but she said that no one but herself had ever
entered her box with her knowledge and con
sent. She had not sued the bank for the
money , because her friends had advised her
not to do BO , for the reason that she could
not prove that she had the money In the box.
She also said that at the time she had mlsseil
the money $900 remained , she having hai !
$1,200 In the box.
Mr. Gladlsh said that he would begin a sull
against the ban ) : for the recovery of the lost
amount ,
HOW THE VAULTS ABB PUOTECTni ) .
The safety vaults arc constructed In the
basement of th Omaha National bank buildIng -
Ing , near the corner of Thirteenth and Doug
las streets. They nro modeled after the
best systems In the > country and the private
boxes are surrounded with every safeguan
that the Ingenuity of science can devise
The lessee of a private box Is first require !
to write his signature In a book and also
upon a card , together with his residence
etc. He Is then given a private pass won
and no two Individuals have the name past ,
word. Kach box renter is ahi
supplied with two keys to
his box. When lie desires , to gain access to
the box ho has rented ho is first require !
to pass through the heavy steel gates b :
giving his pass word , If It Is required of him
In the event thut ho Is not recognized. Hut
oven utter he passes through the steel gates
to the Interior of the vaults ho cannot opei
lila box without the assistance of the maim
ger. The Individual boxes , of vihlch there
arc several hundred , are Inside a burglar
proof vault constructed of the best hardenei
steel and supplied with double time locks
Each private box has a ttroiiK
lock , which cannot be opened with
out the use of two different keyy
The manager of the safety vaults has one
key , of which no duplicates exist. Slit
places , her key In the lock mul then th.
owner of the box can throw back the bol
of the lock by using the Key furnished bin
when he rents the box. When ready to
leave he cannot lock thn box without the
use of both Ufjs , neither can ho remove hi
own key without leaving the box open
This fact precludes the possibility of any
renter leaving his box open , for he canno
remove his key without locking the box.
Of course , It may bo suggested , that a
person not entitled to open any given box
may secure possession of the keys surrep
tltlously. Hut the possession of the key
"alone will not enable a stranger to open i
box. He must upon present.ng himself a
the safety vault present at the name time a
written order signed by the owner of the box
and he must also give the private pass word
These facts only servo to Increase th
mystery surrounding the los.es that hav
b n recently reported. President Mlllan
has made a trip to Chicago slnco the lossc
were reported and has carefull
examined the operation of the larg
safety deposit vault Byitcms In tha
cty. | He wished to satisfy himself that th
Omaha National hud omitted no precaution
nry measure for the protection of Its vaults
He Is perfectly satlstled that his pjuteni I
OS perfect as any In the country.
The Omaha National guarantees the Eatel
of Its vaults and U therefore very much ex
ercised over the developments.

the Pewablc mine will not bo known for
some hours yet , probably not before night.
An Immense mass of rock , Iron ore and
broken timbers twenty feet In length Is to be
cleared uway. Superintendent 13 row n Is con
fident that all but three will bo taken out
alive and he has hopes for all. The accident
was w Jsed by the sandstone capping on the
third level of shaft No. 1 giving away.
The- awful accident has shrouded this com
munity In gloom. Following Is a list of ths
entombed men :
THOMAS PKNGLASE.
WILLIAM OLIVER.
SAMUEL HUSBAND.
GEORGE W1LCOX.
STEPHEN ALLEN.
WILLIAM HAIRD
GEORGE PORNEV.
GEORGE THOMAS.
GEORGE RICKARD.
PETER HE1LBY.
JOHN HALBERG.
Peter Hascae , the pit boss , In charge of the
men at thn time of the accident , and the
only one known to have escaped uninjured ,
states that the accident was caused by run
ning water eating away the sandstone cap
ping In a room 100 feet in height on the
third le\cl. This Immense mass of rock ,
weighing hundreds ot tons , crushed down
through the floor of the level carrying away
timbers and everything to the fourth level ,
on which the men were working. Ho beard
the thundering crash of rock and broken
timbers and by fast running made his escape.
Peter Gabardl , a trammer at work directly
umkr the fall ng rock , was caught and
crushed to death. Ills body has been re
covered.
To "rut a road through this wreckage to the
room in which the men are entombed Is a
work of difficulty which few but experienced
miners can understand or appreciate The
work cannot bo done hastily , for the walls
have to be heavily timbered ns the work pro
ceeds In order to avoid another fall of ground.
Although hard and persistent work has been
done since the disaster occurred by as many
eager men as could be worked to advantage ,
only the seemingly short distance of fifteen
feet has been cut through the conglomeration
of Iron , ore , sandstone and broken timber In
fourteen hours , and fifteen feet has yet to be
out , which will take until evening. An ominous
nous feature , and one that convinces many
miners that the men will lie found dead Is
that , although only fifteen feet away , not
the faintest sound has been heard that w < ftd
Indicate they were alive. Miners say that If
the men were olive this tact would have
been made known from their prison. It Is
the general Impression that they have been
suffocated by gunpowder gas. Superintend
ent Brown , who heads the rescue party , nnd
who has remained at his post since the hour
ot the disaster , says there Is on abundance
of good air in the room , and fs very confi
dent that eight of the Imprisoned miners will
bo found unharmed. Three , he thinks , may
have been caught under the mass and crushed
to death.
This Is the worst accident of the hind that
ever occurred on this range , the only approach
preach to It being the caving In of a ihaft at
the Kelrldge mine some twelve years ago.
when nine men were buried alive and their
lernalns never recovered.
DETROIT , Oct. 28. A special to the News
from Iron Mountain , MIchT , says : The fact
lias Just been established that at least a num
ber of the men In the mine are stIU alive.
The fact was ascertained by signaling with
hammers. It is now confidently expected
that the room In which the men are confined
will be reached by 6 o'clock.
IRON MOUNTAIN , Mich , Oct. 2C. The
only facts known at this hour , 11 t > . 'nf. , is
that a number of the men Imprisoned at the
Pewablc mines arcs alive. Who and bow-
many v.111 not bo known until morning , The
men are well supplied with air. Superin
tendent llrown is certain that at least eight
of the men have escaped uninjured , but fears
three may have been caught under the falling
mass of timbers and rocks and crushed to
death. .

SAFETY VAULT BOXES OPENED
Local Bank Officials and Police Trying to
Solve a Puzzle.
OMAHA NATIONAL SUFFERS LARGE LOSSES
Vice President Surrounding the Tracking
Into of < ch Union Connected with the
Bank Hall having the Money Missing;
The general belief that a safety deposit
vault is absolutely secure against loss by
theft or fire has been rudely dispelled in
Omaha by the discovery that large sums of
money have been mysteriously taken from
boxes in the safety vaults of the Omaha
National bank. The discovery was made
more than two weeks ago and every effort
has been taken by the bank officials to keep
the matter a close secret. Chief of Police
Seavoy and one of his detectives have
been working industriously upon the case
and J. H. Millard, president of the Omaha
National bank, has given the larger share
of his time since the discovery to an effort
to unravel the mystery surrounding the case.
He has even made a trip to Chicago for the
purpose of making a special investigation
into the workings of the safety deposit
systems in that city, to discover, if possible,
whether any important precautionary
measures had been enacted in the Omaha
vault system.
WHO THE LOSERS ARE.
The principal loser in the case is William
Gladish, the druggist at Twelfth and Dodge
street. Mr. Gladish has been the lessee
of a box in the vaults of the Omaha National
for a number of years. Last March he
placed in his box the sum of $2,700 in gold.
On October 5 he discovered that about $1,500
of the amount was missing. He at once
notified Mr. Millard, and the investigation
commenced. Mr. Millard called in Chief of
Police Seavey, and a detective has had charge
of the case ever since. So far, however, all
efforts to discover the manner in which the
money was lost have failed, and the bank
authorities, as well as the police, are as much
in the dark as ever.
Another party who claims to have lost
money from the vault is Lanche Wilson,
proprietress of a resort on Ninth street.
Miss Wilson claims that three $100 bills
have been abstracted from her box and that
she has no means of knowing how the
money was lost. She discovered her loss
over a year ago, but for some reason has
taken no action in the matter; until recently.
She has now engaged an attorney and made
affidavit to the particulars.
Very naturally, the discovery of the losses
has overwhelmed the Omaha National
officials with perplexity. They place every
reliance upon the parties who have any
connection with the management of the vaults
and are thoroughly in the dark as to how the
losses could have occurred.
President Millard stated to a Bee reporter
yesterday that the report of the losses
came to him as one of the greatest surprises
of his life. The vaults are under the management
of Miss Mary McAusland, a very estimable
lady who is in every way fitted for the
responsible position she occupies. No shadow
of suspicion exists that the losses have
occurred through her knowledge or connivance
In fact, it would be absolutely impossible
for any one, not entitled to open a box in the
vaults, to do so without her assistance.
WOMAN POSSIBLY SUSPECTED.
Mr. Gladish was seen last night, but he
refused to say anything positively. From
his conversation, however, it could be inferred
that he lost more than was supposed at first.
He spoke of $1,600 or $1,800 as the amount
of his loss. He also stated that the suspected
party was out of town, or hidden at the
present time. Who was suspected he
refused to say, but in the conversation he
remarked "that a woman was harder to
enchant than a man." The police are equally
silent about the matter.
Mrs. McAusland said that she was in
charge of the vaults most of the time, and
when she was absent, some trusted employee
of the bank was delegated to attend to them.
No one could enter the vaults without her
knowledge, and she said that as far as she
knew no one had opened Mr. Gladish's box
except his wife. In regard to Miss Wilson's
loss, Mrs. McAusland was inclined to think
that it was a mistake. Other questions Mrs.
McAusland politely refused to answer.
Danche Wilson said that she lost $300
about a year ago. She had lost her box key,
but she said that no one but herself had ever
entered her box with her knowledge and consent.
She had not sued the bank for the
money, because her friends had advised her
not to do so, for the reason that she could
not prove that she had the money in the box.
She also said that at the time she had missed
the money $900 remained, she having had
$1,200 in the box.
Mr. Gladish said that he would begin a suit
against the bank for the recovery of the lost
amount.
HOW THE VAULTS ARE PROTECTED.
The safety vaults are constructed in the
basement of the Omaha National bank building,
near the corner of Thirteenth and Douglas streets.
They are modeled after the best systems in the
country and the private boxes are surrounded with every
safeguard that the ingenuity of science can devise.
The lessee of a private box is first required
to write his signature in a book and also
upon a card, together with his residence
etc. He is then given a private pass word
and no two individuals have the same pass
word. Each box renter is also supplied with two keys to
his box. When he desires to gain access to
the box he has rented, he is first required
to pass through the heavy steel gates by
giving his pass word, if it is required of him.
In the event that he is not recognized, but
even after he passes through the steel gates
to the interior of the vaults, he cannot open
his box without the assistance of the manager.
The individual boxes, of which there are
several hundred, are inside a burglar-proof
vault constructed of the best hardened steel and supplied with double time locks.
Each private box has a strong
lock, which cannot be opened without the use of two different keys.
The manager of the safety vaults has one
key, of which no duplicates exist. He places
his key in the lock and then the owner of the box can throw back the bolt
of the lock by using the key furnished by the
bank, when he rents the box. When ready to
leave, he cannot lock the box without the
use of both keys, neither can he remove his
own key without leaving the box open.
This fact precludes the possibility of any
renter leaving his box open, for he cannot
remove his key without locking the box.
Of course, it may be suggested, that a
person not entitled to open any given box
may secure possession of the keys surreptitiously.
But the possession of the key alone will not enable a stranger to open a
box. He must, upon presenting himself at the
safety vault, present at the same time a written order signed by the owner of the box
and he must also give the private pass word.
These facts only serve to increase the mystery surrounding the losses that have
been recently reported. President Millard has made a trip to Chicago since the losses
were reported and has carefully
examined the operation of the large
safety deposit vault systems in that city.
He wished to satisfy himself that the
Omaha National had omitted no precautionary
measure for the protection of its vaults.
He is perfectly satisfied that his system is
as perfect as any in the country.
The Omaha National guarantees the safety of its vaults and is therefore very much exercised over the developments.

In the case of Kale A. Hennahain against the Standard Life and Accident company wherein suit was brought to recover on a $3,000 accident policy, issued to John A. Hennahain, who died on March 10, 1891, while in the lavatory at his residence, the defendant has filed its answer. The answer sets forth the fact that the death of Hennahain was not due to accident, but that instead it resulted from bodily infirmity, vertigo. Such being the case, the defendant overstates that under the terms of the policy no claim may be made.

A Sellout Time of It.
While in Chicago, Mr. Charles L. Kahler, a prominent shoe merchant of Des Moines, Iowa, had quite a serious time of it. He took such a severe cold that he could hardly talk or navigate, but the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy cured him of his cold so quickly that others at the hotel who had had colds followed his example, and half a dozen persons ordered it from the nearest drug store. They were profuse in their thanks to Mr. Kahler for telling them how to cure a bad cold so quickly. For sale by druggists.
ELEVEN MINERS ENTOMBED
Some Are Alive, but How Many is Not Known at Present,
SHUT IN BY FIFTEEN FEET OF ROCK
Remo Portl tried to rescue them with expert help, but has forty of air, but no point or means to get them out.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 26. A special to the Wisconsin from Iron Mountain, Mich., says:
The fate of the eleven entombed miners in the Pewabic mine will not be known for some hours yet, probably not before night. An immense mass of rock, iron ore and broken timbers twenty feet in length is to be cleared away. Superintendent B. Row is confident that all but three will be taken out alive and he has hopes for all. The accident was caused by the sandstone capping on the third level of shaft No. 1 giving way.
The awful accident has shrouded this community in gloom. Following is a list of the entombed men:
THOMAS PENGELAS.
WILLIAM OLIVER.
SAMUEL HUSBAND.
GEORGE WILLCOX.
STEPHEN ALLEN.
WILLIAM HAIRD
GEORGE PORNEY.
GEORGE THOMAS.
GEORGE RICKARD.
PETER HELBY.
JOHN HALBERG.
Peter Haselby, the pit boss, in charge of the men at the time of the accident, and the only one known to have escaped uninjured, states that the accident was caused by running water eating away the sandstone capping in a room 100 feet in height on the third level. This immense mass of rock, weighing hundreds of tons, crushed down through the floor of the level carrying away timbers and everything to the fourth level, on which the men were working. He heard the thundering crash of rock and broken timbers and by fast running made his escape. Peter Gabardli, a trammer at work directly under the fall of rock, was caught and crushed to death. His body has been recovered.
To cut a road through this wreckage to the room in which the men are entombed is a work of difficulty which few but experienced miners can understand or appreciate. The work cannot be done hastily, for the walls have to be heavily timbered as the work proceeds in order to avoid another fall of ground.
Although hard and persistent work has been done since the disaster occurred by as many eager men as could be worked to advantage, only the seemingly short distance of fifteen feet has been cut through the conglomeration of iron, ore, sandstone, and broken timber. In fourteen hours, fifteen feet has yet to be out, which will take until evening. An ominous feature, and one that convinces many miners that the men will be found dead, is that, although only fifteen feet away, not the faintest sound has been heard that would indicate they were alive. Miners say that if the men were alive, this fact would have been made known from their prison. It is the general impression that they have been suffocated by gunpowder gas. Superintendent Brown, who heads the rescue party, and who has remained at his post since the hour of the disaster, says there is an abundance of good air in the room, and he is very confident that eight of the imprisoned miners will be found unharmed. Three, he thinks, may have been caught under the mass and crushed to death.
This is the worst accident of the kind that ever occurred on this range, the only approach being the caving in of a shaft at the Kelridge mine some twelve years ago, when nine men were buried alive and their remains never recovered.
DETROIT, Oct. 28. A special to the News from Iron Mountain, MICH, says: The fact has just been established that at least a number of the men in the mine are still alive. The fact was ascertained by signaling with hammers. It is now confidently expected that the room in which the men are confined will be reached by 6 o'clock.
IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich., Oct. 26. The only facts known at this hour are that a number of the men imprisoned at the Pewabic mines are alive. Who and how many will not be known until morning. The men are well supplied with air. Superintendent Brown is certain that at least eight of the men have escaped uninjured, but fears three may have been caught under the falling mass of timbers and rocks and crushed to death.

There will be a merry time at the Fifteenth Street theater on Sunday afternoon, also Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings, when the brand new farce comedy surprise, properly termed the prize winner of fun, entitled "4 x 4," will be the attraction. While young in the race, it has proven to be a heavy opposition to the older aspirants for farce comedy honors. The fun is new, bright, and pure and is truly refreshing to the up-to-date theater-goers. For an evening of true enjoyment, see "4 x 4."
Adhering slavishly to the author's lines, when frequently the action drags, does not characterize Willie Collier. When a line doesn't catch the public, Mr. Collier is quick to see the defect and his originality promptly provides a remedy. "No matter how good a play may be," Mr. Collier remarked, "an actor of any capability can improve it. I try to grasp the spirit of the audience, then I think of the first word of a line and the last, and proceed to fill in to suit myself." This would be a dangerous undertaking for many, but Willie Collier's quick wit has been one of the features of his success. Mr. Collier comes to the Boyd on Tuesday and Wednesday next, in his new play, "A Back Number."
Mr. Meyers, agent of "Friends" company, which comes to the Boyd on November 2, 3, and 4, is in the city. He reports the business of his company on the Pacific slope very good.

SENT A BRUTE UP FOR LIFE
Omaha Likely to Get Eliminated of a Vicious and Dangerous Character.
SENTENCE IMPOSED ON JIM SPARKS
Multiple times in court for assault on a child. Attorney Morey committed forgery charged and sentenced by Grand Jury.
In the criminal court yesterday, the notorious James Sparks, colored, was sentenced to the penitentiary for life for a beastly assault committed on Chando Valderburg, a boy 7 years old.
The crime was committed a few days ago at Fourteenth and Nicholas streets. Sparks had pleaded not guilty twice, but on being brought in for trial yesterday said he wished to plead guilty and persisted in pleading so after the nature of the penalty had been explained. The child then described the details of the crime and the sentence was imposed.
Sparks was released from the penitentiary about a year ago, after serving a term of eighteen months for assault with intent to kill.
Morey Found Guilty.
In case of the state against Edward P. Morey, the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Morey was charged with forging the name of Constable McKensie in order to get possession of a trunk belonging to some woman who was his client and which was held on a writ. He pleaded not guilty and went to trial. Thursday the jury got the case and yesterday returned a verdict, finding the defendant guilty of forgery and also of using a forged instrument. After the verdict had been returned, Morey was remanded to the custody of the sheriff to await the sentence of the court.
Wants His Commission Back.

In hunting customers, the plaintiff avers that he claimed the great

KNOWLEDGE
Brings comfort, improvement, and tends to general enjoyment when rightly used. The many who live better than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by storing promptly the world's best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid Executive principle compounded in the remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pious- and to the taste, the refreshing and truly medicinal properties of a perfect luxury. The certainty demonstrates the system, dispels delusion, permanently cures constipation, and gives satisfaction to millions and meets with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the kidneys, liver, and bowels without weakening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drugstores at $1 and $2 bottles, but it is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company, whose name is printed on every stage, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not anyway substitute. Why not select WHIP of Sugar currently but now our line of Yarns, Pelts is superb, and the October prices are the highest to purchase now, Schauer's October Sale.
TIME TO MARRY
In the fall-time-- The only pretty ring-time-- We show tomorrow for the most not the most beautiful assortment or now described in ruse we offer purchased. RAYMOND, Jeweler and Silversmith Cor. 15th and Douglas. Is an easy task. The man with a character as pure as the "city of the valley" who is ready to sacrifice his individual interests for that of his state, who loves and respects his fellow-men better than himself and whose ideas are over in consistency with all cranky notions, will always be voted short after the election. The other follow with less angelic qualification is usually the choice of common sense. So it is in society, so in business, the clothier who slashes and smashes and gives goods away in order to be a good fellow, is to be fought shy like a Jersey mosquito. The Nebraska gives nothing away neither do we take anything for nothing: We'll try our utmost to protect your dollar and give you all we can for it. This season we can give you more for your money than ever before and we do it cheerfully, without much ado, and superfluous newspaper display. A suit you formerly paid us $7.50, was always worth $10.00 in any store. This season we'll take but $5.00, and give you choice of two respectable all wool cheviot suits, well made, good linings and honestly finished one of dark blue, the other of dark gray, both of a neat plaid. A true black cheviot all wool suit is worth $15.00 so is an all wool cashmere, but we'll furnish either this year at a bargain, although they were cheap last year at $11.50, common sense buyers bought it at that price at a bargain. Our black cheviots are double-breasted bergs lined, elegantly trimmed, and the cashmere is double-breasted pin checked of brown and gray mixtures Italian lined. Examine all suits offered about town first if you please and compare them to ours. That's all we ask. | 11 |

Every mall arriving In Omaha , brings , in
telligence ot the revolt that has been raised
In the interior of Nebraska by the circula
tion of the manifesto of the Omaha Business
Men's association. Country merchants in
the smaller towns are resenting the attempt
of the II , & M. depository banks and a few
favored shippers of this city to dictate to the
voters of the state. The conservalivo busi
ness men , who make up the greater part of
the total vole , outside of the farmers , and
who are not yet convinced that the future
prosperity of the state depends -jf-oti the elec
tion of dishonest men to oftlce , do not under
stand that the alleged Business Men's asso
ciation docs not represent the real sentiments
of the commercial Interests of this city. The
fact Is , that a number of business men who
naturally remain aloof from active partici
pation In politics have been drawn Into the
organization by the representations ot a few
of the banks who have In the past be n espe
cially favored by the II. & M. . railroad. The
backbone of the organization Is formed of
the II. & M. depository banks and the stock
yards Interests of South Omaha. The few
score of names attached lo the membership
rolls do not by any means represent the
fiolld commercial Interests of Omaha. More
than this , the association Is being managed
by men who have nothing to do with comim'r-
clal pursuits. The secretary is John Petere.
an ex-federal officeholder and a I ) . & M.
politician from an Interior town In the state.
The active agents of the association , outside
of a few of tlie ex-state treasurer's bonds
men , are Irresponsible parties , who hava no
moro Interest In Omaha's prosperlly than they
have In the election of lionest men to oflk-e.
The ruling spirits of the association are such
men as John Peters of Albion , Webb IJaton
of Lincoln and two or three others of like
character. These are the men who have
been entrusted with Omaha's prosperity , and
sorry work they have made of It ! The inJury -
Jury they have worked to Omaha's commer
cial and manufacturing Interests cannot bo
computed In dollars and cents , and cannot be
repaired In months. They have placed a
largo majority of the country merchants of
the state at sword's points with the whole
sale Interests of Omaha. They have done
much to neutralize the splendid work done
for Omaha's manufacturing interests In the
past two years by the Manufacturers' and
Consumers' association. They have enlisted ,
( ho sympathy of none but a few hankers
over the state , who are so closely allied to the
Omaha banks , to the I ) . & M. and to the state
treasury that they dare not enter a protest.
All this has been done for Omaha by two or
three Irresponsible parties who are only In
terested in elevating a man like Tom Major. )
to the governor's chair In order that frauds
committed by the rings may "not be exposed ,
In order that railroad legislation may not
bo enacted , and In order that honest , methods
In the administration of Ihe state's finances
may not prevail.
KILLING OMAHA'S TRADE.
As a fair sample of the Injury that has been
wrought to Omaha's wholesale Interests by
the lll-advlscd'work of the Irresponsible par
ties who have been placed In control ol the
Business Men's association , the following in
cident may bo related. Friday afternoon two
traveling representatives for wholesale hard
ware houses entered the store of Smith &
Zimmerman , hardware dealers , at the little
town of Ulysses , Neb. One ot the travelers
represented an Omaha house
and the other a
St. Joseph company. Uoth were equally
acquainted with the Ulysses firm , and there
fore both entered the store on equal terms.
After some tittle conversation , the Omaha
traveling man handed Mr. Zimmerman , the
Junior member of the firm , one of the circu
lar copies of the manifesto sent out by the
Business Men's association. Mr. Zimmerman
read it carefully and asked the Oimiha trav
eling man how It happened that whole
sale merchants of Omaha attempted ta coerce
voters of the state Into voting for an ob
jectionable candidate for governor. He ex
pressed tils sentiments quite freely In regard
to the Business Men's association , and tln-
ished by declaring that Omaha could have na
more of his trade. Then ho turned around
nnd ordered a bill of goods of tha man repre
senting the St. Joseph house.
Scores of country merchants all over Ne
braska are refusing to buy fall goods of
Omaha wholesale merchants. This fact Is
corroborated by letters and reports received
from traveling men representing Omaha
houses , and several prominent firms In this
city have learned ( o their cost that business
does not well mix
with partisanship , espe
cially when partisanship Is exerted in behalf
of nn unpopular candidate.
An Omaha traveling man \\lio returned to
the city Friday evening , after a two weeks'
trip through Southeastern Nebraska , states
that ho encountered over flfty traveling men
from Kansas City and St. Joseph houses , all
urging upon country merchants the unfavor
able attitude of Omaha business men toward r
the Interior merchants of the state. These
traveling mm were , many of them , supplied
with railroad tickets which they furnished
prospective customers whenever they could
secure from them a promise to visit the
rivals of Omaha on the south. In Northeast
Nebraska the Sioux City traveling men are
equally active , and the newspapers In that
part of the state are urging local merchants ,
' to buy of Iowa wholesalers. Says the O'Neill
Beacon Light :
Now let the farmers organize In school
districts , townships iiml countlea , and labor
organisations In towns and rltli-s do like
wise. Let them resolve to positively boy
cott every" business man who patronizes
Omaha wholesale or retail linns until Ch
time as the more sensible business en
( and no believe n majority ) shall publicly
U'-jiounco these corporatism and causa
i
them to withdraw their anti-suffrage appeal
rind apologize to the Intelligent ? ovcrclgns
of Nebraska. Sioux City la a. good enough
trading point for northwest Nebraska and
our people xhonkl move In solid phalanx
nnd tvlth no uncertain meaning against
the Insult of these Omaha merchant ; .
An a further indication of the sentiment of
the merchants of norhwcstern Nebraska the

scheme to entrap tliolionest Voters of cnir

these matters us these stock yards man

CRITICISED BY COUNTRY PAPERS. :
The columns of the untrammelcd state
press continue to bring caustic criticism ot
C
of Nebraska outside of Omaha do not take
kindly to .the- Idea that they can be frightened
Into voting for so dishonest a candidate as
Majors and for the element ho
rc-prQBor.ts. Their sentiments are voiced by
scores of editors who have not as yet been .
controlled by corporate Influences. The
Silver Creek Times has the following :
One of the worst fool things we ever saw
in politics Is the organization of business
men In Omaha to defeat the populist ticket ,
or , In other words , to elect Tom Majors , for
that Is really what they nre after. No mat
ter how much business men might person
ally desire the defeat of the pop :
ulist ticket or any other ticket ,
It would certainly b& very bad policy for
them to organize as such for any such pur
pose , nnd , we apprehend , these Omaha Job
bers will soon get onto that fact , even If
they have not done so already. Their Idea
seems to be that business men may coerce
customers who happen to be owing them ,
just as some of the loan companies are
trying to coerce farmers against whom they of
may hold mortgages. It Is only n short
time ago that these "business men" were
going out by special trains to encourage
trade with Omaha , nnd now they nre doing
what they can to drive trade awny from
Omaha ,
The O'Neill Tribune , speaking for the peo-
p'o lu the northern part ot Nebraska , says :
That bankers should combine to deliber
ately attack the political rights of the people
ple of this or any other state In order to
continue the special advantages they enjoy
Is not surprising , but that the business men as
of a city eltunted as Is Omaha should lend
their Influence to such a scheme is Incom
prehensible. Do these men seek to build up
n wall of prejudicennd antagonism be
tween themselves and their customers ? Do
they wish to make political enemies of
their business friends ? As Individual mem
bers of society , or ns members of their
political parly , these men have the same
right to control , or seek to control , politics
us anybody else , but when they organize In
ns business men for the avowed purpose
of preventing the people of tli la state from
carrying out tlielr political views , can they
expect anything" but opposition to their
scheme- ? And that opposition may reason
ably bo looked for in a business way.

Oct. 27. The thunderbolt which
'ound up this fairly quiet political week ,
Ithough a surprise lo the political world
n general , has. been clearly and exclusively
'oreshadowed In the- dispatches to the As-
ociated press , and Its correspondent here
s now In a position to state that the In-
f 'ormatlon . . which ho has cablpd upon this
tibject J was obtained from Chancellor von
aprlvl himself , though the correspondent
wan not then able to make public tlio source
of his Information.
hOi
On October G , for example , these dls-
latches contained the following statements :
"The general belief Is that the visit of
.
J' hancollor von Caprlvl to Emperor William
t Hubcrstock j yesterday was connected with
" lie proposed exceptionable laws against nn-
rchlsts which have bc n urged in many
uarters. The agitators , It Is believed ,
eally Intend that the laws referred to should

Japrlvl , therefore , opposed the propose I meas-
urc , as ho dos not bcllevo In the elllclency
,
OI special measures against them , being ot
tno opinion that the best policy is to leave
hem comparatively free , thus giving the
iarty full scope In Its internal dissensions ,
which , ho believed , will ultimately lead to
its disintegration. In any case , It Is known
hat the present Reichstag would not pass
,
luch a measure , but It might be Introduced
ri the Diets of the individual states. The
Ituatlon , however , is regarded In many
iuarlers na being grave and some politicians
ovei express the belief that Chancellor von
laprlvl will resign unless he Is fully backed
up by the emperor. "
.
On Saturday , October 20 , the dispatches
lontalncd the following statements : "In splto
r outward appearances and newspaper statc-
rmet
nents. : It Is stated In quarters usually well
nformed that the conflict between Chancellor
yon Caprlvl and Count Botho Euhlenberg
cspectlng the anti-socialist measures Is not
ettlcd. On the contrary , the situation Is said
o be more critical than ever , and It has even
.
> een asserted that nt a recent conference of
/
he ministry of state bitter words were ex-
hanged between the chancellor-and the
russlan prince , owing to the latter Insist-
ng upon more severe measures than Von
Caprlvl was disposed to Introduce Into the
lelchstag , which body , however , Is certain
o reject any measures of a reactionary char
acter.
acter.HAD !
HAD NEWS FROM HEADQUARTERS.
"The conference. It Is added , broke up
vith the. ministers , greatly in discord. Since
,
hen Emperor William has brought his Influ
ence to bear and the dispute was patched up.
But Chancellor von Caprlvl Is still lo some
extent ' nt variance with the Prussian premier
and Inclined to resign the chancellorship
rather than submit to the Reichstag measures
vlth which lie has no sympathy himself , and
vhich. ! moreover , he Is convinced the Rclchs-
tag would not accept. "
General von Caprlvl , In conversation with
the correspondent of the Associated press
yesterday evening , repeated what he had
irevlously said on the subject of the mlnls-
erlal troubles , which was exclusively cabled
lo the Associated press at the time. The
chancellor also said that he found It Impos
sible to reconcile his own views with those
the emperor and Count Bothozu Euhlrn-
jerg In regard to the anti-revolutionary
: , and stated that the proposed treat
ment of the Polish question was also another
xine of contention which caused him to take
the step of resigning the chancellorship.
The chancellor added that ho did not believe
n reactionary measur s , and authorized the
correspondent of the Associated press to
rcvtul for publication the source of the In
formation referred to In previous dispatches
well as make the substance of the Inter- \
view referred to above.
The Important Intimations given in these
dispatches are- based on statements which
Von Caprlvt made In conversation with the
Associated press correspondent. The latter ,
hlmcclf , for the time being , was pledged to
secrecy respecting the source of his informa
tion , as tlie general's tenure of his olliclal
post naturally precluded the use of his name
connection with such a subject. Now ,
however , Caprlvl Is again a private- citizen ,
and the seal of silence imposed by bis ofUce
lias been removed from his lips , and ho con
sented to give the Associated press an inter
view for publication.
CAPRIVI GRANTS AN' INTERVIEW.
In consequence , the correspondent called at
General von Caprlvl's residence last night , c
and the general repeated what he had pre
viously stated , that the leading question
upon which lie found It impossible to rccon-
cllo his own views with those of the emperor
and Count Dotho Euhlenberg , was the antl-
rovolutlonary measure. The second bone of
contention between the same parties , ho
added ' , was the proposed treatment of tlio
Polish question. Caprlvl said ho could not
acquiesce to Eulilenberg's opinion that dras
and exceptional measures were necessary
combat the progress of socialism. Moreover ,
was convinced they would not be ratified
the Reichstag. The general asserted that
, himself , was thoroughly conservative , but
that he did not believe reactionary measures ,
such as Euhlenberg proposal , were
efficacious to ward oft social danger.
Continuing , Caprlvl said : "I have'mado an
honest attempt ten fall into line with the
views of his majesty and Count Euhlenberg ,
I _ have failed. My whole policy has been
based upon a reconciliation of the social
differences and conciliations of the Poles. n
Iloth questions , however , have been rendered (
acute lately , against my own advice. " of
In an audience the chancellor waa given
the emperor the latter expressed his dis
satisfaction that Caprlvl was without a work-
majority In the Reichstag , which , in his
majesty's opinion , accounted for the fact that
adoption of thepropoied socialist meat-
urea was doubtful. The- emperor also In-
silted upon a reunion ot the cuancelloralilp
and the Prussian premiership , 'and here again
Caprlvl found , himself dlrcctlj at variance
with the views of theemperor. .
FINISHED WYKSTERDAY.
The. retiring chancellor 'practically ' finished
up the business of Ma pDlceut 5 o'clock yes
terday , when his aldc-do-camp , Major E. IJ.
Myre , left , and the gencr.- spent the evening
quietly at his resident s clng a few friends
and retired at an early h ; ur.
Emperor William's oil tuile towards Ca-
prlvl lias undoubtedly ch ngfd greatly dur-
ing the past week and nce his majesty's
visit to Count ICuhlenb rg , the German
ambassador to Vienna , a Llcbcnberg. On
Tuesday , when Caprlvl ound that Count
Euhlenberg persist d In opposing the
government program am that he- Intended
to resign the presldenc } of the Prussian
council of ministers , the chancellor placed his
own resignation In the hnnds ot the emperor ,
tn order to end the ministerial conflict. The
emperor , however , ns cabled exclusively to
the Associated press at tlio time , drove lethe
the chancellor's resldenca , and It now ap
pears , by assuring him f his approval of
the general's policy , surc&clcd In dissuading
him from Insisting iiporj. resigning. The
emperor then , apparently regarding the- trou
ble as tided over , at any rate- for the present ,
proceeded to Llebenberg for a few days deer
stalking with Count Philip Euhlenberg , who
Is an Intimate friend ot the emperor.
At Liebenberg , however , the opportunity
was taken to sot the emperor against Caprlvl
by several members of Euhlenberg family.
Including theexpremier. . ) 1ils brother , the
court chamberlain , anduotoncl Euhlenberg ,
win were gathered"here ! tp greet the emperor.
The attacks on Count Uotlio Euhlenberg In
the Cologne Oozetto and other Caprlvl or
gans , such as the North Dermnn Gazette
and Hamburg ; Corrcspon enz , were brought
before the emperor's notice , and it was In
timated | ; to him that the arjlclcs were insplro'.l
by Caprlvl In order to redit the Prussian
premier In the eyes of ttie country. The
emperor Is understood la have expressed
great Indignation nt tlirs o attacks , and to
have been Influenced also uy hints that the
conference of the iriliifstjr& ; of the federal
KtatEs ( was summoned by'tho ' chancellor for
the express purpose ot giving an open rebuff
to Euhlenberpr , whoso policy was certain to
bo disapproved by these statesmen.
EMPEROR'S TBMP13II WAS RUFFLED.
Consequently , Etnperor William met the
chancellor yesterday In a ruffled temper and
showed sympathy for the Prussian premier ,
whereupon Caprlvl took1- the opportunity to
promptly tender his resignation , for which
action t ho had additional "ground In the difference -
enco between the emperor and himself on
the . question of reuniting the two olllces.

presidency ot the Prussian .council of minister -

The fierce attacks mn3e upon him by the
organs which have supported Caprivl cer
tainly gave Euhlonbcrg gY-pund for complaint.
They have been very unsuccessful and un-

las fortnight and designed to convey the
Impression that the emperor and the chan
cellor agreed upon landing questions and
that ( Enhlcnberg st'ood alone ,
Caprlvl's. position-for - aMong tlmo past has
been one of extreme fltmialtt1. He was In-
an unenviable light In"1 hfinglc { ; > ilook.fprl !
ward to meet the RDlchstag without a work
ing majority nt his back. From the con
servatives , , he could only Aspect opposition
whllo the center party was not pledged , and
its . support depended upon concessions. The
chancellor . was left with only a scattered , fol
lowing. Even the Polish faction was enrblt-
tercd aealnst him by recent events. The
Blsmarcklan motive has- naturally been' re
venge ; the colonial party has becji dlsjsatis-
fled with the chancellor's aversion to an act
ive colonial policy and the agrarians nre dis
contented at the commercial treaties am
hall the chancellor's fall with unfeigned de
light. Finally , a powerful force against
which the general has had contend Is Dr
Mlquel , minister of finance , whose policy has
been apparently dictated by his own ambi
tion. This opposition , nevertheless , made
little headway against Caprlvi until they en
listed Euhlenberg in their ranks , and as the
Prussian ministry was thenjlaycd off
the Imperial government the personal oppo
sition between the two chiefs was created
This maneuver of the enemies of the chan
cellar was successfully accompllihed by sedu
lously fostering anti-socialist agitation am
urging drastic anti-revolutionary legislation

edge of his character , was strongly In favor
of thoroughgoing measures , wlillc the chan
cellor counseled moderation , Even the em

meshes of their crafty intrigues.
DIRECT CAUSE OF ITHE CRISIS.
According to the KreuaJileltung , the chle
organ of the agrarians , the article which dl
re brought about the crisis was published '
In the Cologne Gazettt ! of' Thursday .ast , at"s
tacking Euhlenberg. The emperor was all
the more annoyed becaustf It appeared directst
\y after his satisfactory interview with the
chancellor on the Tuesday previous. Tin
Pi premier , oa reading this article , I
sa to have Immediately tendered his reslg
nation , and Caprlvl followed suit during a
subsequent Interview -jvth ! the emperor. Th
fact that the emperoc conferred with Her
von Uucanus , chief ot Ill's legal cabinet , on
Tuesday night upon returning from his vlsl is
to the Euhlenbergs la regarded as showln
that he had already received Euutcnberg1
Intimation that he desired to resign. It 1
further stated tonight thai the emperor de
elared to the delegates of'the federal state
yesterday that , althoughCsprlvl had ro
signed , he was determined : that .bills to com

LONDON , Oct. 27. ( New York World
Cable Special Telegram. ) The peer-pro-
nler of the democratic party of this king-
Ion tonight began the great battle to abol-
sh the hereditary legislativeprlvlt ° gjs of r
its own order. It Is fully within reason
o say that no event In the history ot Great
trltaln. has been more momentous , lo its
people. If the reform Is accoinpllsh d. It
nust work as great a relative change In
the methods of English constitutional gov-
eminent as did the Bill ct Itlghts or Magna
Chartn ! itself. As to Its practical aspects
and ; prospects of success , Ilosobery tonight
put himself In line with the. advanced rad-
callsm of his party , which Is In line with
the world's progress , and If we may bc-
levc the reports of his oratorical manner
ntul methods tonight , showed himself to be
a very great orator , and to have given Ural
_
proof of his cquall/ great capacities as a
iartjleader. . I have heretofore ventured
t : o say that he was either a mere farce cr
ta
a great t statesman awaiting his opportunity.
Tonight ho seems to have met the oppor
tunity and to have seized It for one of his
tory's great episodes.
torI
I have pointed out In this correspondence
recently that , however great the opportunity ,
the l prime minister can now achieve no prac
tical ' result without the votes of the Irish in
Parliament. These votes , along -with the
English radicals , have.ivjalted 'tonight's
speech with eager but doubtful expectancy.
Iloth seem to have been surprised by the
result Into exultant delight.
SET THE PEOPLE WILD.
Drad/ord Is almost a proletarian constitu
ency , but the audience went ulld over the
calm and almost cynical , but pregnant , sen
tences of the orator and party loader.
Speaking .for.tha Irish -supporters. Mr. T. P.
O'Connor telegraphs to London a. fervid and
< ! vetiKlrluuipRnt ! ouloglum of th& ipeech. I
have been permitted. - lo see some extracts'
from the letter , which will be published In
his paper tomorrow , and which may bo .c-
cepted ns a guide post to the future action
of lis ( party.
"Tho speech , " he writes , "went straight
to the- point almost In Its very flrst sen-
tenee. anO , I should add. It never left the
point for a single second , from Its first word
to Its last. It was a flnglp topic speech ,
It spoke of the House of Lords , nnd abso-
tutely of no other subject , nor was the audi
ence left in doubt for many minutes as to
what Rosebery's pronouncement was going to
be like. In a sentence or two from the start
he spoke of the veto of an Irresponsible cham
ber , a forecast that the eager audience de
lightedly welcomed , but the flrst great out-
hurst came a few moments after , when Rose-
bcry began to speak , of difficult questions on
which the next general election would have to
be fought. 'In my opinion , ' said he , 'the next
election will be fought on none of these
questions , but on the one which Includes and
represents them all , I mean the question of
the House of Lords. ' Those were the words
of the final , Irrevocable speech , making the
policy of the government , and the audience j
slowly , and then , after the first Impulse had "
been elven , with almost frenzy , rose to all
the solemnity of the momentous utterance.
First a few men , then some hundreds , and fin
ally the vast audience rose to their feet ,
cheered , waved handkerchiefs , clapped hands ,
and , In short , there was one wild , passionate
demonstration ot anger , of Jpy , and relief.1'
All this means , of course , that all 'other
Issues of the liberal party , including home rul3
Itself , are in future lo be laid aside until
the abolition of the obstructive veto of the
stolid ( legislative tory upper house makes
them ' possible.
TO UNITE IIHSHMEN.
Justin McCarthy was asked If he cared
to make any comment on the refusal of
Mayor Gllroy of Kcw York to attend the
recrptlon to Mr. Dlake. Ho said he could
make no comment at present on. that or
any other division among Irishmen , There
no doubt , however , that Mr. Emmctt's
spirited letter continues to have a goad
effect hero and In Ireland. I am privately
Informed tonight that a great convention ol
delegates ot various branches of the Irish Na
tional Federation will bo held In Dublin
early In November , and that this movement
has the approval of Irish leaders In America ,
The convention will be preceded on the same
day by a. meeting of McCnrthylto members of
Parliament , at which It Is expected that Jtr.
Hcaley wlllspropose & vote of no confidence
Mr. McCarthy. It Is expected by Mr. Mc
Carthy's : friends that Kmmott's letter will
bear full fruit at the convention , and that
such a motion or any other leading to fur
ther division will bo
defeated by a good ma
jority. The object of the committee In callIng -
Ing the meeting and the convention Is to ob
tain nn emphatic declaration from both
against dissension and an anirmatlon of the a
principles of party discipline , which have
been repeatedly broken lately and which are
vital to the continued utility of the party.
The proceedings , therefore , will be of the
greatest Importance to the Irish cause , as , In
addition to this question , the party will make
corporate pronouncement on Prime "Minis
ter Ilosebcry'B speech ot tonight , and set
forth the lines of Its Parliamentary'policy a
during the approaching fcsslon of Parl'ament. "

HOW THE PAUIS KUND WILL SERVE.
Mr. McCarthy givesto the World authori
tative facts about the Paris fund , and an
emphatic denial of ( he statement published
In the tory organs here that a part of the
released money will bs used to pay the Irish
members of parliament. "You can give that
statement , " he said , "the most unequivocal
denial. I am surprised that It should bo
revived. Ily an agreement between us and
Mr lledmond's party a portion of the Paris
fund , about $70,000 , Is set aside to discharge
certain Labilities incurred by the. Irish party
ns a whole before the Bpllt , and for which
wo are Jointly responsible. The balance Is
to bo devoted absolutely to the relief of
evicted tenants , and la to be administered by
a committee of three , In which wo arc rcpro-
sented by Messrs. Davltt nnd nillon and the
Redmondltes by Mr , Harrington. "
"What is the total
amount of money now
available ? " he was asked.
"I cannot say for certain , as It Is In bonds
oC which the realizable
value cannot bo pre
cisely ascertained until the bonds are offered
for sale , but the total will bo somewhere
about. 1220,000. "
"The money was well Invested then ? "
"Oh , yes , It was Invested In Improving
securities. With the exception o'f a small
amount It Is all In American bonds. The
securing of money has been a great relief ,
and will , I expect , enable us to sustain the
evicted tenants until they are reinstated by
Ugislatlon , so that wo can devote ourselves
to preparing for tho- general election with
a. greater feeling of security.
"A curious dimculjy arose about our getting
possession of the bonds and transferring
them ' to IiondOrt'rcve"n' ' rcr "t1io u7cYeo'"bf
the French courts had authorized Munro
to hand them over t6 our order. Our London"
agent suggested that accompanied by his
clerk he should go to Paris and bring the
bonda across. Tlio next day he came to mo
saying that ho could not undertake the
responsibility , as the bonds wore all payable
to bearer , and negotiable without difficulty
unless he could get them insured for the
Journey. ' X
' Insurance company , however ,
would take the risk. Though theMessrs. .
Longman are n firm of the highest standing
they considered the- risk of loss or robbsry
too great to be incurred. Wo then had in
quiries made of financiers accustomed to
transmitting largo parcels of securities and
to my surprise we were advised that the only
safe way was to send them by registered
letter. But the companies would not Insure
them even for tha fhort tlina that would
elapse ' ! between their surrender and their
being registered at the Paris postofflce- . The
perilous undertaking was accomplished , how
ever , without any catastrophe , and 'Without
Insurance , and Mr. Longman traveled to
London with the bonds which were safely
deposited next morning to my order here. "
SOME PERSONAL. GOSSIP.

A very Interesting story Is told about the

assistant figured in vain. Clarke modestly
suggested the correct solution. Stephenson
Immediately engaged him and his rise was

CONDEMNED BY THE COUNTRY PRESS
Outraged and insulted by the "People Movement" and the folly of the to ill Effort of
Juggling; the Vote.
Every mail arriving in Omaha, brings intelligence of the revolt that has been raised
In the interior of Nebraska by the circulation of the manifesto of the Omaha Business
Men's association. Country merchants in the smaller towns are resenting the attempt
of the II, & M. depository banks and a few favored shippers of this city to dictate to the
voters of the state. The conservative business men, who make up the greater part of
the total vote, outside of the farmers, and who are not yet convinced that the future
prosperity of the state depends on the election of dishonest men to office, do not understand that the alleged Business Men's association does not represent the real sentiments
of the commercial interests of this city. The fact is, that a number of business men who
naturally remain aloof from active participation in politics have been drawn into the
organization by the representations of a few of the banks who have in the past been especially favored by the II. & M. railroad. The backbone of the organization is formed of
the II. & M. depository banks and the stockyards interests of South Omaha. The few
score of names attached to the membership rolls do not by any means represent the
total commercial interests of Omaha. More than this, the association is being managed
by men who have nothing to do with commercial pursuits. The secretary is John Peters,
an ex-federal officeholder and a D. & M. politician from an interior town in the state.
The active agents of the association, outside of a few of the ex-state treasurer's bondsmen,
are irresponsible parties, who have no more interest in Omaha's prosperity than they
have in the election of honest men to office. The ruling spirits of the association are such
men as John Peters of Albion, Webb Watson of Lincoln and two or three others of like
character. These are the men who have been entrusted with Omaha's prosperity, and
sorry work they have made of it! The injury they have worked to Omaha's commercial and manufacturing interests cannot be computed in dollars and cents, and cannot be repaired in months. They have placed a large majority of the country merchants of the state at sword's points with the wholesale interests of Omaha. They have done much to neutralize the splendid work done for Omaha's manufacturing interests in the past two years by the Manufacturers' and Consumers' association. They have enlisted the sympathy of none but a few bankers
over the state, who are so closely allied to the Omaha banks, to the D. & M. and to the state
treasury that they dare not enter a protest. All this has been done for Omaha by two or three irresponsible parties who are only interested in elevating a man like Tom Major to the governor's chair in order that frauds committed by the rings may "not be exposed, in order that railroad legislation may not be enacted, and in order that honest methods in the administration of the state's finances may not prevail.
KILLING OMAHA'S TRADE.
As a fair sample of the injury that has been wrought to Omaha's wholesale interests by the ill-adviced work of the irresponsible parties who have been placed in control of the Business Men's association, the following incident may be related. Friday afternoon two traveling representatives for wholesale hardware houses entered the store of Smith & Zimmerman, hardware dealers, at the little town of Ulysses, Neb. One of the travelers represented an Omaha house
and the other a St. Joseph company. Both were equally acquainted with the Ulysses firm, and therefore both entered the store on equal terms. After some little conversation, the Omaha traveling man handed Mr. Zimmerman, the Junior member of the firm, one of the circular copies of the manifesto sent out by the Business Men's association. Mr. Zimmerman read it carefully and asked the Omaha traveling man how it happened that wholesale merchants of Omaha attempted to coerce voters of the state into voting for an objectionable candidate for governor. He expressed his sentiments quite freely in regard to the Business Men's association, and finished by declaring that Omaha could have no more of his trade. Then he turned around and ordered a bill of goods of the man representing the St. Joseph house.
Scores of country merchants all over Nebraska are refusing to buy fall goods of Omaha wholesale merchants. This fact is corroborated by letters and reports received from traveling men representing Omaha houses, and several prominent firms in this city have learned to their cost that business does not well mix
with partisanship, especially when partisanship is exerted in behalf of an unpopular candidate.
An Omaha traveling man who returned to the city Friday evening, after a two weeks' trip through Southeastern Nebraska, states that he encountered over fifty traveling men from Kansas City and St. Joseph houses, all urging upon country merchants the unfavorable attitude of Omaha business men toward the interior merchants of the state. These traveling men were, many of them, supplied with railroad tickets which they furnished to prospective customers whenever they could secure from them a promise to visit the rivals of Omaha on the south. In Northeast Nebraska, the Sioux City traveling men are equally active, and the newspapers in that part of the state are urging local merchants,
to buy of Iowa wholesalers. Says the O'Neill Beacon Light:
Now let the farmers organize in school districts, townships and counties, and labor organizations in towns and rural areas do likewise. Let them resolve to positively boycott every business man who patronizes Omaha wholesale or retail firms until such time as the more sensible business ends
(and no doubt a majority will) publicly disavow these corporatist and cause
them to withdraw their anti-suffrage appeal
and apologize to the intelligent overtones of Nebraska. Sioux City is a good enough trading point for northwest Nebraska and our people should move in solid phalanx
with no uncertain meaning against
the insult of these Omaha merchants.
An additional indication of the sentiment of the merchants of northwestern Nebraska the following article, signed by a large number of
the business men of Ponder, may be quoted:
PROTEST FROM PONDER.
We, the undersigned residents and business men of Ponder, Thuran County, Neb., having noticed the articles sent out by the business men of Omaha, and having the general welfare of the great state of Nebraska at heart, and believing the action of the Omaha business men to be at the instigation of monopolies and railroads, and further, that it is a deeply laid political scheme to entrap the honest voters of our state, and also believing that the credit of the state depends upon the election of men who are in no way connected with trusts or railroads, and that the people of the country districts are as competent to judge these matters as these stockyard managers, railroad syndicates, merchants, and clerks of Omaha, we therefore denounce their action and call upon all other towns in the state to at once organize Republican clubs to oppose these common enemies of our state:

CRITICISED BY COUNTRY PAPERS.
The columns of the untrammelled state press continue to bring caustic criticism of Nebraska outside of Omaha do not take kindly to the idea that they can be frightened into voting for so dishonest a candidate as Majors and for the element he represents. Their sentiments are voiced by scores of editors who have not yet been controlled by corporate influences. The Silver Creek Times has the following:
One of the worst fool things we ever saw in politics is the organization of business men in Omaha to defeat the populist ticket, or, in other words, to elect Tom Majors, for that is really what they are after. No matter how much business men might personally desire the defeat of the populist ticket or any other ticket, it would certainly be very bad policy for them to organize as such for any such purpose, and, we apprehend, these Omaha jobbers will soon get onto that fact, even if they have not done so already. Their idea seems to be that business men may coerce customers who happen to be owing them, just as some of the loan companies are trying to coerce farmers against whom they may hold mortgages. It is only a short time ago that these "business men" were going out by special trains to encourage trade with Omaha, and now they are doing what they can to drive trade away from Omaha.
The O'Neill Tribune, speaking for the people of the northern part of Nebraska, says:
That bankers should combine to deliberately attack the political rights of the people of this or any other state in order to continue the special advantages they enjoy is not surprising, but that the business men of a city distinguished as is Omaha should lend their influence to such a scheme is incomprehensible. Do these men seek to build up a wall of prejudice and antagonism between themselves and their customers? Do they wish to make political enemies of their business friends? As individual members of society, or as members of their political party, these men have the same right to control, or seek to control, politics as anybody else, but when they organize in us business men for the avowed purpose of preventing the people of the state from carrying out their political views, can they expect anything but opposition to their scheme? And that opposition may reasonably be looked for in a business way.

No details of the catastrophe have been received.
Return of the Europa,
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 27. Among the passengers sailing for New York today on board the Cunard line steamship Europa is ex-Mayor Abram S. Hewitt of New York.
But Chancellor von Caprivi is still to some extent in variance with the Prussian premier and inclined to resign the chancellorship rather than submit to the Reichstag measures with which he has no sympathy himself, and which, moreover, he is convinced the Reichstag would not accept. General von Caprivi, in conversation with the correspondent of the Associated press yesterday evening, repeated what he had seriously said on the subject of the ministerial troubles, which was exclusively cabled to the Associated press at the time. The chancellor also said that he found it impossible to reconcile his own views with those of the emperor and Count Botho von Eulenberg in regard to the anti-revolutionary measures, and stated that the proposed treatment of the Polish question was also another point of contention which caused him to take the step of resigning the chancellorship. The chancellor added that he did not believe in reactionary measures, and authorized the correspondent of the Associated press to reveal for publication the source of the information referred to in previous dispatches as well as the substance of the interview referred to above.
The important intimations given in these dispatches are based on statements which von Caprivi made in conversation with the Associated press correspondent. The latter, himself, for the time being, was pledged to secrecy respecting the source of his information, as the general's tenure of his official post naturally precluded the use of his name in connection with such a subject. Now, however, Caprivi is again a private citizen, and the seal of silence imposed by his office has been removed from his lips, and he consented to give the Associated press an interview for publication.
In consequence, the correspondent called at General von Caprivi's residence last night, and the general repeated what he had previously stated, that the leading question upon which he found it impossible to reconcile his own views with those of the emperor and Count Botho von Eulenberg, was the anti-revolutionary measure. The second bone of contention between the same parties, he added, was the proposed treatment of the Polish question. Caprivi said he could not acquiesce to Eulenberg's opinion that drastic and exceptional measures were necessary to combat the progress of socialism. Moreover, he was convinced they would not be ratified by the Reichstag. The general asserted that, himself, was thoroughly conservative, but that he did not believe in reactionary measures, such as Eulenberg's proposals, were efficacious to ward off social danger.
Continuing, Caprivi said: "I have made an honest attempt to fall into line with the views of his majesty and Count Eulenberg, I have failed. My whole policy has been based upon a reconciliation of the social differences and conciliation of the Poles. Both questions, however, have been rendered acute lately, against my own advice."
In an audience the chancellor was given by the emperor, the latter expressed his dissatisfaction that Caprivi was without a working majority in the Reichstag, which, in his majesty's opinion, accounted for the fact that adoption of the proposed socialist measures was doubtful. The emperor also insisted upon a reunion of the chancellorship and the Prussian premiership, and here again Caprivi found himself directly at variance with the views of the emperor.
FINISHED YESTERDAY.
The retiring chancellor practically finished up the business of his tenure yesterday at 5 o'clock, when his aide-de-camp, Major E. L. Myre, left, and the general spent the evening quietly at his residence with a few friends and retired at an early hour.
Emperor William's attitude towards Caprivi has undoubtedly changed greatly during the past week and since his majesty's visit to Count Botho von Eulenberg, the German ambassador to Vienna, a member of the Eulenberg family. On Tuesday, when Caprivi found that Count Eulenberg persisted in opposing the government program and that he intended to resign the presidency of the Prussian council of ministers, the chancellor placed his own resignation in the hands of the emperor, in order to end the ministerial conflict. The emperor, however, as cabled exclusively to the Associated press at the time, drove straight to the chancellor's residence, and it now appears, by assuring the general of his approval of the general's policy, succeeded in dissuading him from insisting upon resigning. The emperor then, apparently regarding the trouble as settled over, at any rate for the present, proceeded to Liebenberg for a few days' deer stalking with Count Philip Eulenberg, who is an intimate friend of the emperor.
At Liebenberg, however, the opportunity was taken to set the emperor against Caprivi by several members of the Eulenberg family, including the ex-premier, his brother, the court chamberlain, and another Eulenberg, who were gathered here to greet the emperor. The attacks on Count Botho von Eulenberg in the Cologne Gazette and other Caprivi organs, such as the North German Gazette and Hamburg Correspondence, were brought to the emperor's notice, and it was indicated to him that the articles were inspired by Caprivi in order to discredit the Prussian premier in the eyes of the country. The emperor is understood to have expressed great indignation at these attacks, and to have been influenced also by hints that the conference of the ministers of the federal states was summoned by the chancellor for the express purpose of giving an open rebuff to Eulenberg, whose policy was certain to be disapproved by these statesmen.
EMPEROR'S TEMPER WAS RUFFLED.
Consequently, Emperor William met the chancellor yesterday in a ruffled temper and showed sympathy for the Prussian premier, whereupon Caprivi took the opportunity to promptly tender his resignation, for which action he had additional ground in the difference between the emperor and himself on the question of reuniting the two offices, the chancellorship of the empire and the presidency of the Prussian council of ministers.
The fierce attacks made upon him by the organs which have supported Caprivi certainly gave Eulenberg ground for complaint. They have been very unsuccessful and unpolitic in coming so soon during the last fortnight and designed to convey the impression that the emperor and the chancellor agreed upon all questions and that Eulenberg stood alone.
Caprivi's position, however, among the time past, has been one of extreme difficulty. He was in an unenviable light, looking forward to meet the Reichstag without a working majority at his back. From the conservatives, he could only expect opposition, while the center party was not pledged, and its support depended upon concessions. The chancellor was left with only a scattered following. Even the Polish faction was embittered against him by recent events. The Bismarckian motive has naturally been revenge; the colonial party has been dissatisfied with the chancellor's aversion to an active colonial policy, and the agrarians are discontented at the commercial treaties and at the chancellor's policy in general. Finally, a powerful force against which the general has had to contend is Dr. Miquel, minister of finance, whose policy has been apparently dictated by his own ambition. This opposition, nevertheless, made little headway against Caprivi until they enlisted Eulenberg in their ranks, and as the Prussian ministry was then played off against the Imperial government, the personal opposition between the two chiefs was created.
This maneuver of the enemies of the chancellor was successfully accomplished by systematically fostering anti-socialist agitation and urging drastic anti-revolutionary legislation. Eulenberg, as was expected from the knowledge of his character, was strongly in favor of thoroughgoing measures, while the chancellor counseled moderation. Even the emperor, it is asserted, was brought within the meshes of their crafty intrigues.
DIRECT CAUSE OF THE CRISIS.
According to the Kreuzer Zeitung, the official organ of the agrarians, the article which is said to have brought about the crisis was published in the Cologne Gazette on Thursday, attacking Bismarck. The emperor was all the more annoyed because it appeared directly after his satisfactory interview with the chancellor on Tuesday. The prime minister, on reading this article, is said to have tendered his resignation, and Caprivi followed suit during a subsequent interview with the emperor. The fact that the emperor conferred with Herr von Lucanus, chief of his legal cabinet, on Tuesday night upon returning from his visit to the Bismarcks is regarded as showing that he had already received Bismarck's intimation that he desired to resign. It is further stated tonight that the emperor declared to the delegates of the federal states yesterday that, although Caprivi had resigned, he was determined that bills to combat socialism should be introduced in the form agreed upon between himself and the ex-chancellor.
The newspapers coming out tonight are generally orally hostile to Caprivi, blaming him for the numerous mistakes of the past two years. The ex-premier, who was also minister of the Interior, took leave of the other officers of the ministry of the Interior. The count, however, will continue to discharge the duties of his office until his successor is installed.
CAPRIVI'S SUCCESSOR
At 8 o'clock the evening was announced that Prince Hohenlohe-Schlitzingsfurst, governor of Alsace-Lorraine, accepted the chancellorship, after first declining that honor. The prince also accepted the premiership of Prussia, and Herr von Keller, under secretary of the interior department of the province of Alsace-Lorraine, succeeded Bismarck as Prussian minister of the Interior.
Much attention has been aroused by the honor which the emperor paid to Prince Hohenlohe-Schlitzingsfurst and Herr von Keller by going to Wild Park station to meet them and giving them apartments in the new palace. The emperor's choice of Hohenlohe for chancellor is taken as evidence that his majesty does not intend to adopt the extreme views of the means required to arrest the spread of socialism. Hohenlohe, although 77 years of age, is very active physically and mentally.
On receipt of the news of the prohibition by the Hamburg and Dutch senates of the use of wireless telegraphy, the New York World's cable special telegram states that the premier, Rosebery, removes all doubt as to his future policy, which is to battle against the lords. This is the great question above all questions before the commons. A new era for England is dawning, with a representative government arrayed against hereditary rulers in Parliament. The people delight in Rosebery's speech tonight at untilford last night by Chancellor's Secreteriat, selling the Liberal Party wild with delight for the upcoming fight against the lords.

LONDON, Oct. 27. (New York World Cable Special Telegram.) The peer-to-peer of the democratic party of this kingdom tonight began the great battle to abolish the hereditary legislative privileges of its own order. It is fully within reason to say that no event in the history of Great Britain has been more momentous for its people. If the reform is accomplished, it must work as a great relative change in the methods of English constitutional government as did the Bill of Rights or Magna Carta itself. As to its practical aspects and prospects of success, Rosebery tonight put himself in line with the advanced radicalism of his party, which is in line with the world's progress, and if we may believe the reports of his oratorical manner and methods tonight, showed himself to be a very great orator, and to have given clear proof of his equal great capacities as a party leader. I have heretofore ventured to say that he was either a mere farce or a great statesman awaiting his opportunity. Tonight he seems to have met the opportunity and to have seized it for one of history's great episodes.
I have pointed out in this correspondence recently that, however great the opportunity, the prime minister can now achieve no practical result without the votes of the Irish in Parliament. These votes, along with the English radicals, have received tonight's speech with eager but doubtful expectancy. Both seem to have been surprised by the result into exultant delight.
SET THE PEOPLE WILD.
Bradford is almost a proletarian constituency, but the audience went wild over the calm and almost cynical, but pregnant, sentences of the orator and party leader. Speaking for the Irish supporters, Mr. T. P. O'Connor telegraphs to London a fervid and convincing logogram of the speech. I have been permitted to see some extracts from the letter, which will be published in his paper tomorrow, and which may be accepted as a guidepost to the future action of his party.
"The speech," he writes, "went straight to the point almost in its very first sentence, and, I should add, it never left the point for a single second, from its first word to its last. It was a single topic speech, it spoke of the House of Lords, and absolutely of no other subject, nor was the audience left in doubt for many minutes as to what Rosebery's pronouncement was going to be like. In a sentence or two from the start, he spoke of the veto of an irresponsible chamber, a forecast that the eager audience delightedly welcomed, but the first great outburst came a few moments after, when Rosebery began to speak of difficult questions on which the next general election would have to be fought. 'In my opinion,' said he, 'the next election will be fought on none of these questions, but on the one which includes and represents them all, I mean the question of the House of Lords.' Those were the words of the final, irrevocable speech, making the policy of the government, and the audience, slowly, and then, after the first impulse had been given, with almost frenzy, rose to all the solemnity of the momentous utterance. First a few men, then some hundreds, and finally the vast audience rose to their feet, cheered, waved handkerchiefs, clapped hands, and, in short, there was one wild, passionate demonstration of anger, of sympathy, and relief."
All this means, of course, that all other issues of the liberal party, including home rule itself, are in future to be laid aside until the abolition of the obstructive veto of the stolid legislative Tory upper house makes them possible.
TO UNITE IRISHMEN.
Justin McCarthy was asked if he cared to make any comment on the refusal of Mayor Gilroy of New York to attend the reception to Mr. Drake. He said he could make no comment at present on that or any other division among Irishmen. There no doubt, however, that Mr. Emmett's spirited letter continues to have a good effect here and in Ireland. I am privately informed tonight that a great convention of delegates of various branches of the Irish National Federation will be held in Dublin early in November, and that this movement has the approval of Irish leaders in America. The convention will be preceded on the same day by a meeting of McCarthy to members of Parliament, at which it is expected that Mr. Healy will propose a vote of no confidence in Mr. McCarthy. It is expected by Mr. McCarthy's friends that Emmett's letter will bear full fruit at the convention, and that such a motion or any other leading to further division will be defeated by a good majority. The object of the committee in calling the meeting and the convention is to obtain an emphatic declaration from both against dissension and an affirmation of the principles of party discipline, which have been repeatedly broken lately and which are vital to the continued utility of the party.
The proceedings, therefore, will be of the greatest importance to the Irish cause, as, in addition to this question, the party will make corporate pronouncement on Prime Minister Rosebery's speech tonight, and set forth the lines of its parliamentary policy during the approaching session of Parliament. No election till July, assuming that Rosebery's declarations are satisfactory to the party. It is practically certain that the general election will not take place until next autumn. The interests of Ireland are prominently concerned in getting an amended land bill passed and that a friendly government should be in power in July, when the judicial officers charged with the administration of the new land bill will be appointed for the next term of fifteen years. Gladstone's land reforms have been rendered nugatory in all important respects: the fact that the landlords hitherto have... THE BEE BULLETIN.

On Tuesday next the Conference on Chinese Immigration will be held in St. Louis. This is a very important issue for the United States, as it concerns the rights of Chinese laborers in our country. The conference will be attended by representatives from both China and the United States, as well as from various states and cities where there is a Chinese population. The main point of contention is whether or not the Chinese should be allowed to own property in the United States, and whether or not they should be subject to the same laws as citizens. This is a complex issue that will require careful consideration and negotiation to resolve.
The Wonder of Brown Hotel: This is a new restaurant opened by George Brown in New York. It is located in the financial district and is already gaining a reputation for its excellent food and service. The menu features both American and European cuisine, and the wine list is impressive. This is definitely a place to visit if you're in New York and looking for a good meal.
Hilltop Golf Club: This is a new golf course located in New Jersey. It is already considered one of the best in the area, thanks to its well-maintained fairways, accurate bunkering, and challenging greens. If you're a golfer looking for a new course to play, Hilltop is definitely worth checking out.
Amsterdam and Berlin in the Batavian Army: These two cities have been declared off-limits to military personnel due to concerns about their safety. This is a significant move, as the Batavian Army has been engaged in several conflicts recently, and there is a risk of further hostilities.
Kitchener and Churchill: These two men have been at the forefront of the British Empire's efforts in Africa and the Middle East. They both have a deep commitment to the welfare of the colonies and the protection of British interests, and their actions have often been controversial.

The move is seen as a positive step towards unity and cooperation, especially given the recent history of conflict between these nations.

These activities not only provide entertainment but also serve as a form of physical exercise, especially for those living in colder climates.

LONG FIGHT MAY BE SOON ENDED
Corporations Against the Masses is the Campaign in the Present Campaign,
PARAMOUNT TO ALL OTHER ISSUES
Ho Believes Nebraska Voters Will Revolt
Against Being Bridled,
BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIATION AN ALLY
Immigration by a Thousand Voters
at Imposition Hall.
An audience of about 1,009 people assembled at Exposition hall last evening to listen to political addresses from Judge Holcomb and Judge Doane. The meeting was entirely nonpartisan in its character, and was attended by many Republicans and Democrats as well as Populists. But few ladies were present, so that it was one of the best assemblies of voters that has been gathered in Omaha during the present campaign, excepting the McKinley meeting and the joint debate.
Judge Doane addressed himself to the voters most entirely upon the interference of the franchised corporations in the present campaign. He was especially severe upon the leading spirits of the so-called Business Men's association. He also referred at length to the long fight made by the people of Nebraska for the regulation of freight rates and denounced in unmeasured terms the action of the railroads in hanging up in the federal courts the best railroad law ever passed by the legislature.
K. W. Simons presided and in introducing the speakers stated that a few days ago he happened to be reading the Declaration of Independence, and the thought occurred to him that if its authors had lived in Nebraska at the present time they would probably have made a few slight changes in its wording. He had revised some parts of that old document in order to make it fit the circumstances here in Nebraska under the political conditions which have existed for a number of years past, Mr. Simons then read a paraphrase of well-known passages in the time-honored declaration, making many happy hits which delighted the audience. It was:
NEBRASKA'S DECLARATION.
"When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for a state to declare itself free and independent of the franchises, corporations a decent respect for mankind requires that we should state the cause which impels us to this action.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that is, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
" The history of the N. & M. railroad in this state is the history of repeated injuries and usurpation, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over the state. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid people.
" This road has refused to assent to a maximum rate law necessary for the public good.
" It has forbidden our legislature to pass laws of immediate, pressing necessity unless suspended in their operation till its assent would be obtained.
" It has created a 'board of railroad transportation' whose officers are subservient to its will, who harass our people and eat out their substance.
" It has, with the assistance of our lieutenant governor, called out the militia for the purpose of coercing the laborer.
" It has cut off our trade with other states.
" It has constrained our fellow citizens and merchants into abjectly following its dictates.
" It is at this time transporting large forces of foreign voters to overthrow the will of the people of this state. "
In concluding his preliminary remarks, Mr. Simons stated that the one issue in the present campaign was: Shall the people of Nebraska govern themselves or shall the railroads dictate the legislation in spite of the demands of the people? He then introduced Judge Doane, who spoke in part as follows:
AGAINST RAILROAD CAPACITY.
" My Fellow Citizens; The last time I visited the hall it was to attend a gathering of representatives of the democratic party to nominate a ticket for the support of the democrats of Nebraska. After considering carefully all the conditions, a decided majority of that convention thought best to nominate for governor Judge Holcomb, a gentleman who had already received the nomination at the hands of the populists. The prime reason that led the democrats to adopt that policy was this: The issue in this campaign was made by the railroads. It was forced upon the people by the railroads and other corporations. The issue was whether the people had the right to have their will enacted into legislation or whether the railroads should dictate legislation in spite of the wishes of the people. The issue was forced upon the democrats, and therefore they believed that the best thing they could do was to assist in the election of a man who was in sympathy with the demands of the people and who would recognize the popular will.
" This issue has been going on for years, it has now come to a head. We have come to a place where we can no longer dodge. Fifteen years ago the fight commenced in this state, but for that length of time no one party has been strong enough to carry out the expressed wishes of the people. Occasionally trespassers from both parties would unite, but even then they were not strong enough to accomplish the ends sought. Fourteen years ago I happened to be placed on the ticket for the legislature with some of my friends. The ticket was nominated with the expectation and belief that if we were elected and were with the majority in the legislature we would endeavor to check the growing rapacity of the railroads. We were elected. We did frame a law which we thought would compel the railroads to recognize the people. What was the result? Was that law ever observed? Never. The railroads hooted at it. They were above the law because they were always able to find subservient men enough to prevent its execution. After remaining a dead letter on the statute book for a number of years that law was finally repealed. Since then the people have time and time again demanded law in this state. They were never able until the late | 12 |

"So Iho Issue Is not a now one. The same
struggle occurred Iti Iowa a few years ago
and nlso In Illinois. In these states today
th 'dl crlmlnatlons ot which the people of
Nebraska complain do not exist.
"f have spoken particularly of the rail
road corporations because- they nre the larger ,
liut th'oro Is the same disposition on the part
of the smaller corporations to set themselves
above the laws. Our troublu lias been
lirotight on by our own folly. It has become
so common to grant franchises to any person
of "persons ( for I have Tuiown them to 1 ?
granted to a single person ) and give them
anS power they ask , that we nnd ourselves

wo have given them and if complained of
cast the whole blame upon thu myth called
Iho corporation. Wo have granted too many
franchises and privileges and wo have come
to the point now where wo propose to stop.
( Applause. ) The contest between the people
and the corporations is the foundation of the

why the railroads , banks , franchise ) ! corpora

are going to win. ( Applause. ) These cor

people Is about to assert Itself and they are
roused to make the light of their lives. It
makes my blood boll when I read of the
action of theHO corporations. The time has
been too long In this state when we have
been owned by the railroads. Thank God ,
wo have been growing stronger. For years
wo Imve been nt their mercy. They scattered
their favors where they pleased and denied

to ttto end and "from " this tlmo on the peopla

Judge Holcomb was then introduced by
the chairman , and was. greeted with ap

as Iho leader of the people's light advanced
to the. front of the rostrum. Judge Hoi-
comb's speech was an earnest and effective
presentation of the Issue of the campaign , and
was punctuated throughout with frequent
evidence of approbation , Ho said In sub
stance :
AT THE PAKTING OF THE WAYS.
"This Is the second time that I have had
the pleasure of appearing before an Intelli
gent Omaha audience In this place , and 1
wish to express the hope that it I should
cvor appear here again I may merit the
hearty reception and greeting that I have
received on this occasion. I am proud of

Intelligent and straightforward business men.

ono'has said that we are at the parting of

this Is true , and that on the Cth day'of
November It will b decided that the people
shall rule and not the corporations.
"Tho true object of all good government Is
the protection of the masses of the people ,
and I stand before the people of Nebraska
as the exponent of that good government
which Is for all the people. On the Oth day
ot November you will designate who shall
have the authority to make and execute your

and then decide according- your best con

"Tho convention of my party at Grand
Island did mo the honor to put my name at
the head of their ticket , and I wish to say
to these who have given me a good deal of
free , advertising within the past few days.
who have maligned and vilified me , that
there were twenty-four men In that conven
tion who knewmo llko a book who Insisted ,
Tiut through no wish of mine , that my name
should go before that convention , and the
lelogatcs from the surrounding ; count es came
forward as one man and said that I should
accept the nomination.
"Later on another convention -was held I.
and In- this very .hall , by the democratic
party of the state. There my iiamo was
brought forward as a suitable candidate to
occupy the same placo. on their ticket which I
waa given mo In the convention of my own
party. It was said by William J. Bryan ,
who presented my name , that they would
serve their party best who nerved the people
best and they would servo the people best
by giving me the nomination. So the Issue
Is now before the people , I have- never been
In politics much. Only once before was I
In a state campaign as a candidate , and
that was In a. judicial campaign In which
there was not the enthusiasm and Interest
which la around us this fall. But since I
have been In this campaign and since I
have Matched tha action of our opponents , I
have been wondering whether there wore no
other state offices to be filled except that
of governor. I have felt somewhat grieved
because none at the other candidates seem
to be receiving much attention , while my
opponent and myself have been receiving
more than wo are entitled to.

you will analyze this cry of no-called busi

from those who nre selfishly opposed to
loghlatlon that might be for the benefit of

In carrying on the campaign. They don't
dare to .come uofora the paoplo and tell them
why It Is that my election would Injure the

jumped to' that conclusion without giving
any reason a : a basis for their position and
have spread It lirnadcaat 08 an established
fact , that It J am elected governor the In-

"And now I want to say a few things in
regard to the railroads. I do not wish to be
understood as saying that anything should
be done which might Injure thcso Interests.
They era , on tit led to protection Just as every
other Interest Is. entitled to protection.Hut
when they encroach on the liberties of the
people the people have the right to have laws
made for their viwn protection Our constitu
tion says that the legislature shall pass laws
to correct abuses and to prevent extortions
and oj.her Injuslj practices on the part of any
railroad or telegraph or telephone company
doing business In the state. There is no
desire to array the corporations against- the
people Indicated In saying that the laws shall
bo enforced and the rights of the people pro
tected. Wo ought disabuse our minds df
the Impression that because a person stands
*
upon a public rostrum and says he Is In
favor of proper legislation on this subject
he Is a demagogue or Is advocating legislation
that Is unjust to anyone. It was not until
the last legislature that a taw was ever
placed on the statute books relating * to this
matter , although this question has been
fought over In Nebraska for the past twcnty-
flvQ years. Finally , a wlso and Just law was
passed , ono which promised relief to the-
people and at the same time protected tha
rights of the railroads in every
particular. There was thrown around
It every sa'/eguard / that wisdom
and caution could suggest. It passed
both houses of the legislature , and in spite
of the enormous pressure- that was brought
to bear .to jnduco the governor to vote it , he
afDxed his .signature and It became a law.
Hut we have been urtablS to realize anything
on it up to the present time , and now we
see a struggle goingon all over this state

is good' and Should be 'enforced , and that if
It Is declared void by the supreme court one
should bo passed , that Is good and the people
given the relief they have waited for so long.
"Until this campaign I liad nib Idea of the
enormous power that Is wielded by the rail
rends of this state. I have met hundreds of
men within the past few weeks who have
told me that personally they were In favor of
the pnnclples which I represented , but that
they didn't dare to say much about It. Is It
not a. serious condition of affairs when there
Is a citizen of Nebraska who cannot come
out openly and above board and declare what
his political convictions arc without losing
IIH | position ? Out I declare , and I say It
boldly , that these cc-ndltlQns do exist all over
Nebraska today. Wo are now to determine
whether the people br tuelr sovereign right
shall govern or whether a tew shall have the
power to dictate to the many. I leave , this
qucsttoa with you. I only ask that when
this election day arrives every citizen shall go
to the poll a and cast his : ballot 0.1 he consci
entiously believes Is for the best Interests of

LINCOLN , Oct. 27. ( Special. ) The man-
daimm case of Secretary Kdgcrtou ot the
populist state central committee against the
secretary of state concerning the present
form of the state ballot , c.ime up in the
Lancaster county district court this morning
at 11:20 : before Judges Hall nnd Tlbbltts. sit
ting together. Ex'Attorney General Leese
ai.pe-arcd for Secretary Edgcrton ; United
States District Attorney A. J , Sawyer for
the straight democrats nnd State's Attbrncy
Hastings for the secretary of state The
contention of General I.ccso was that the
present form of the ballot , as sent out by the
secretary of state , was complex , misleading
and Illegal because it prevented a basis of
representation being accurately estimated In
the future for either the Independent or
democratic parties.
Mr. Sawyer asked for a postponement until
next Tuesday In order to prepare nn an
swer. The court held that the near approach
preach ot election day made It Imperatively
necessary that earlier action be had upon
the case , sind gave Mr. Sawyer until 3 30
p. m. In which to answer. Mr. Sawyer took
an exception.
It was nearly C o'clock before Mr. Saw
yer appeared In court with his answer to the
petition for mandamus , but as he had pre
viously Insisted on a postponement until
Tuesday to prepare- the answer , thla was
unexpected expedition ,
The answer did not even admit that an In-
cccndent convention had been held. This
alsed a new point , and another adjournment
vas had until 7 o'clock this evening to afford
roof ot the same. In granting another con-
Inunncc. the court was rather severe on
he nttltudo oC the defense in seeking to de-
ay the case Indefinitely. At 7 o'clock the
ourt reconvened , and Secretary of State
Mien wont on the stand and testified con-
icrnlng his action In making up the- ticket
iccordltig to the certificates on fllo In his ol-
Ico. Mr. Allen was followed by Secretary
Edjerton. rclator in the case and secretary
f the populist state central commute , with
his evidence , which was- mainly to show his
luthorlty for bringing this suit.
Ho was followed by General Leese , who
iworo to having made a demand on the nec-
ctary ot state to distinguish on the ballot
ho two different parties who have nora-
nated Judge Holcomb. Counsel for the re-
ator then rested.
MORI3 THAN SIEN TO VOTE TOR.
Mr. Sawyer had no other evidence to pro
luco than had been .ven by the tecretary
of slate. Judces Hall and Tibbltts an-
lounced that n similar case had been before
Ida court one year ago. In the opinion of
Judge Hall the district court of Lancaster
county had no jurisdiction over the various
county clerks of the state , to whom the sec
retary of state had sent Eamplo tickets.
General Lccse declared that the people of
Nebraska should have a right to vote for
irlnclplea as well as men. He said ho de
sired to vote for Judge Holcomb as an inde-
iqndcnt , and not as a democrat , or as a
compound Independent with democrat , as
shown on the face of the ballot as prepared
by the secretary of state. This Is the gist
ot the ontlro contention of the Independents.
They want the two parties nominating Judge
3olcomb bracketed In two lines Instead of
> elng run In one line with a hyphen. Then
'
.ho cross opposite the party would Indicate
he political complexion of the vote The
court did not hold that county clerks were
prohibited from printing the ballots In
brackets. It held ) that the certificate of the
secretary of > state * w s merely matter oC In
formation for their guidance.
The court took the matter under advise
ment and will announce their decision Mon-
lay.

ALBION. Neb. , Oct. 2V. ( Special. ) The
optra house here was crowded to its utmost
capacity last night with republicans , demo
crats and populists to hear Senator Mander
son. He spoke for two hours and a half , am :
was frequently applauded. His treatment o
the financial question was dispassionate am
thorough. The populists accorded him th
praise of handling the- questions Involving
their political doctrines in the fairest posalbli
mariner. He compared the countries tha
have free sliver that are on a silver basis
with those on a gold basis , and the compari
son showed very conclusively that the
stronger anil wealthier and more civilized na
tlons are the latter ; that If the United Slates
would occupy a place alongside of Europe
Instead of the weak and unstable govern
ments of Asia and South America It musi
maintain practically the financial system o
the best financiers and adhere to the flnan
clal systems which have brought wealth and
national greatness to England , Germany am
Ffance. The senator said It was hardly nee
cssary , for him to talk on the tariff , observing
serving- that tariff tinkering was doing Its
own. talking In a way to be more convincing
than any argument he could make. Yet he
called attention to the fact that the tariff
reform of the Drlce-Gorman bill Vas meeting
with most enthusiastic endorsement In Eng
land , where It was relighting the fires In th
forges and awakening Industry , while in thl
country It was putting out fires , reducing
wages and putting Industry to sleep.
W. H. Michael
closed the meeting by ai
appeal to the old soldiers to stand by th
ticket , which , If successful , would send t
the legislature men -who will elect a Uhltec
States senator who will help to organize th
senate In the Interest of their comrades an
the widows of dead comrades ; to work fo
the election of Melklejohn , who will vote-
organize the house so that Justice and fai
play will bo meted out to the men who wor
the blue and stop the outrages upon them.

Hon. John C , Watson vas then Introduced
ml It was nome moments bolore ho could
leak for applause. Mr. Watson made an
; ofiuent speech , surprising oven his most In
mate friends. He devoted his time to com-
arlson of the republican and democratic plat-
arms , holding the close attention of the
argo audlcnco and closing amid great op- ,
lause.
He was followed by Hon. John L. Webster.
Ir. Webster Bald ha wanted to say a good
ord for John C. Watson and Tom Mijors.
Ir. Watson's name was received with cheers.
ut the applause for Majors was faint. Ho
oastcd "Dryan and nil detnopops to a finish.
Us addre.'s wua one of sound repiibllc.uihin
ml well received.
His remarks on the free and unlimited
olnago of silver attracted considerable nt-
ervtlon. He declared the doctrine was musty
vlth age and had been condemned In 12u-
opc before It had ever been discussed In the
Jnlted States , Wise- men had condemned
he Idea In this country In the past , and the
peaker was convinced that It would agttln be
xplodcd in monetary circles.
The intrinsic value of metal as a com-
loillty settled all questions of relative merit.
Ir Webster could not see that other qucs-
lens cut any figure In the problem. He
eferred to the experiences of other nations
n this line , and contended that all gov-1
Turnouts doing business on a gold basis are
nflnltely superior to those confined to silver
s a circulating medium. _
"Silver men are in the habit of saying
hat they are blmetalllsts. " observed the
peaker. "la It not n self-evident proposl-
lon that with the annual coinage of so
nuch silver at so great a depreciated valua-
ion , the same could not be exchanged for
gold. The tm libra of silver could not go
o the United States treasury and exchange
t for gold , for there is not suldclcnt gold
u make the exchange. The moment that
he exchange of gold for silver cannot bo
nade on account of the great difference In
he equalities of the two kinds of money ,
hs silver being worth but 60 cents , while
he gold Is worth 100 cents , the owner of the
jold dollar will rcfuijq to exchange for the
silver dollar. .Gold would bo at a premium ,
ust as In the divs of the "war. when we
lad a larger quantity of greenbacks than
could bo exchanged for gold and gold was at
a premium ; It was hoarded or drawn out of
circulation nnd 'paper currency b5came the
noney of the dayThus it would ba with
ho free- and unlimited coinage of sliver.
? old would disappear , and sliver would be
he only moneoC tjitf country. We would
liave but one kind cot metal money In use
nnd that woulit be allver "
After referring ? tolthe enormous profit the
nine owner wrfilld secure by the adoption of
reo coinage , Mr. "Webster concluded by de
claring that tl/o wthdlo subject resolves Itself
nto one geni'rUl proposition- : That the
tree and unlimited coinage r > f sliver Is a
device to enrlcfujLJuo tntne owner , and without

for the operatives from Qloversvlllo. "When

'wo put a tariff on Imported gloves , knowing
that wewould thereby secure for you steady
employment at good wages. I now a.sk you
Whether the tariff did not accomplish this ? "
A chorua of "Yea ! Yes ! " was the answer.
At Amsterdam , over 3,000 expectant people
greeted the governor. Mr. McKlnley spoke
from a. platform behind which was a life-

ho said : "I sco that Mr. Hill says that busi
ness IB resuming In this country since the
passage of" the tariff law of 1834. Every man
In this audience knows whether business has
resumed , and If It has resumed , upon what
: andltlons that resumption has taken place.
If we hays Ijad any resumption , and I hope

ELMWOOU , Neb. . Oct. 27. ( Special Tele
gram. ; ) Mr. H. Itosewntur spoke to a. large
audletico Iti this city tonight. Tiio nddre-ss
vas given thoughtful attention nnd was at
imes vigorously applauded.
After paying a tributeto the sturdy yeo-
unnry ; of the state and calling attention to
hVI fact that Cnss county farmers had at-
vays been found In the front rank lighting
he battles ot nntl-monopoly and against cor
ruption and Jobbery In high places , Mr. Ross-
vuler turned his attention to the vulnerable
record ot the republican gubernatorial
-andkl.itp. Ho showed conclusively that
Majors was not a , man to be trusted In the
executive chair , or lu any position requiring
and integrity. The record of the
nan from Ncmaha was spread before the
icoplo from the time when , as contingent
congressman , lie wna nil hut found guilty
of forgery , down to the abduction of Taylor
ind the drawing of tlio fraudulent voucher ,
lie money secured from which went Into the
jacket of Majors' private secretary. Mr.
itosowater emphasized the cowardly charac-
cr of the Major * campaign managers In re-
! u si UK to accept the fair proposition made
bj htm to submit the truth of the charges
ton a jury composed of seven prominent
nlnlstcrs of the gospel. This refusal acted
simply as an acknowledgment that the
: hnrges were true and that they could nut
"c met. The only reply that Majors could
nnko to the charges was ti > heap abuse of
[
ho vilest character upon the man who made
them.
Mr. Uoscwatcr also touched upon the for
mation of the nlk'gcd Business Men's asso
ciation for the purpuso of electing Majors , and
showed the organization tip In Its true light.
Ho disproved the charges that the election
o ! Holcomb would ruin the credit of the
state , and conclusively demonstrated that
the election of an honest man to the guber
natorial chair would servo notice to the
boodlers that their days ot rule In Nebraska
were ended , and that the railroads could no
longer control party politics.
Ho closed with an appeal to all lovers of
seed government to cast their ballots for
honesty und decency In politics and In the
government of the stale , which would do
more to maintain the credit of Nebraska than
to choose for governor a corrupt tool of the
monopolies.

AVASHINOTON , Oct. 27. The action of the

entirely unexpected by the Agricultural de
partment , although the officials had hoped ii | >
to the last moment thot'tho Germans would
prove open to reason. The matter will not

government has seen fit to act In such a
summary manner. No doubt Is felt hero
that these alleged cases will turn out to l > o

Is any cattle disease that the German
veterinarians know little about that dlscasa

Is the opinion of the Agricultural depart

for years nnd are aware of the state of

"Have you ever heard anything more of it?" No. Just as soon on the time approached for the law to go into execution, the railroads went to the federal courts and secured an injunction preventing the enforcement of a state law. It was an unheard of proposition, but the people have never heard from that court and they never will until after election. "So the issue is not a new one. The same struggle occurred in Iowa a few years ago and also in Illinois. In these states today, the discriminations of which the people of Nebraska complain do not exist.
I have spoken particularly of the railroad corporations because they are the larger, but there is the same disposition on the part of the smaller corporations to set themselves above the laws. Our trouble has been brought on by our own folly. It has become so common to grant franchises to any person or persons (for I have known them to be granted to a single person) and give them an unlimited power they ask, that we find ourselves taxed hand and foot. The time has come to stop. When these persons obtain these valuable franchises they at once imagine that they are relieved from obligation to obey the law, that they are relieved of all obligations to humanity and relieved of all responsibility to individuals. They hide behind the charters we have given them and if complained of cast the whole blame upon the myth called the corporation. We have granted too many franchises and privileges and we have come to the point now where we propose to stop. (Applause.) The contest between the people and the corporations is the foundation of the issue in this campaign. This is the reason why the railroads, banks, franchise corporations, and stockyards have combined to fight us, it is a fight to the death, but the people are going to win. (Applause.) These corporations realize that the time has come last when the manhood of the common people is about to assert itself and they are roused to make the fight of their lives. It makes my blood boil when I read of the action of these corporations. The time has been too long in this state when we have been owned by the railroads. Thank God, we have been growing stronger. For years we have been at their mercy. They scattered their favors where they pleased and denied them wherever they chose. They have come to the end and from this time on the people of Nebraska propose to rule.
ALL OF ONE FEATHER.
I want to say something about the manner in which the issues raised by the people in the present campaign have been met. The members of the Business Men's association say they cannot trust an honest man, because he is a populist. The bankers say that if Judge Holcomb won't do, they won't do. They are combining to elect eastern money will not come here to compete with them. Their pretext has not even the merit of selfishness. It is mere subterfuge, and the falsiest kind of pretense. When you ask a man to loan you money he does not ask you what your politics are. He asks about your collateral. Everyone of the men prominently connected with the Business Men's association is connected with some of the franchised corporations. Will you submit to the dictations of these franchised corporations? (Cries of "No.") The time is short, and I do not wish to detain you with a lengthy speech. I desire now to give way to Judge Holcomb, the candidate for governor.
Judge Holcomb was then introduced by the chairman, and was greeted with applause, which turned into a welcoming cheer as the leader of the people's fight advanced to the front of the rostrum. Judge Holcomb's speech was an earnest and effective presentation of the issue of the campaign, and was punctuated throughout with frequent evidence of approbation. He said in substance:
AT THE PARTING OF THE WAYS.
This is the second time that I have had the pleasure of appearing before an intelligent Omaha audience in this place, and I wish to express the hope that if I should ever appear here again I may merit the hearty reception and greeting that I have received on this occasion. I am proud of the support I am receiving from the honest, intelligent, and straightforward business men in whatever calling they may be. This is a campaign in which the issue is clear. Everyone I have met seems to realize it. Someone has said that we are at the parting of the ways. I am compelled to believe that this is true, and that on the 6th day of November it will be decided that the people shall rule and not the corporations.
The true object of all good government is the protection of the masses of the people, and I stand before the people of Nebraska as the exponent of that good government which is for all the people. On the 6th day of November you will designate who shall have the authority to make and execute your laws for the next two years. You must remember that at that time you are to determine the policy and course of the government in this state, and when you have done this there will be no appeal from your decision for at least two years to come. You should view the question honestly and fairly, and then decide according to your best convictions.
The convention of my party at Grand Island did me the honor to put my name at the head of their ticket, and I wish to say to those who have given me a good deal of free advertising within the past few days, who have maligned and vilified me, that there were twenty-four men in that convention who knew me like a book who insisted, that through no wish of mine, that my name should go before that convention, and the delegates from the surrounding counties came forward as one man and said that I should accept the nomination.
Later on another convention was held in this very hall, by the Democratic party of the state. There my name was brought forward as a suitable candidate to occupy the same place on their ticket which I was given me in the convention of my own party. It was said by William J. Bryan, who presented my name, that they would serve their party best who served the people best and they would serve the people best by giving me the nomination. So the issue is now before the people, I have never been in politics much. Only once before was I in a state campaign as a candidate, and that was in a judicial campaign in which there was not the enthusiasm and interest which is around us this fall. But since I have been in this campaign and since I have matched the action of our opponents, I have been wondering whether there were no other state offices to be filled except that of governor. I have felt somewhat grieved because none of the other candidates seem to be receiving much attention, while my opponent and myself have been receiving more than we are entitled to.
IF RAILROADS ALONE FIGHT HIM.
And now I wish to say a few words on what I believe to be the issue in this campaign. I am not here tonight to discuss party politics, as related to national issues, but I simply want to speak to you as a citizen of Nebraska on the conditions which confront us in this campaign. There is an organization in your city which calls itself the Business Men's association, that is allying itself with the opposite party. By that I do not mean to say that the Republican party is fighting me very hard. I feel that the fight is between myself and the railroads, and I have said from the beginning that if the railroads fought me I would be elected.

feels somewhat complimented at finding myself In this position.
"I remember of hearing a story of a time
when the ships wore only thirteen stars In our
flag. The first vessel that went back over
the seas to England after our Independence
was declared bore as one of its passengers a
little hump-backed boy. As he landed at
Liverpool, a burly British sailor said to him,
'Kay, bub, what is that you have on your
back. 'Why, that is Bunker Hill,' undauntedly replied the young American. In this campaign I feel something like this
hump-backed boy. I feel that I am accepting a position that represents the rights and
liberties of citizens and I am proud of the
distinct on.
"As I view it, the Business Men's association
Is a sort of branch of the railroad party
not the republican party, as I want to keep
their taint in view as I go along. If
you will analyze this cry of no-called business interests you will find that it emanates
from those who are selfishly opposed to
enlightenment that might be for the benefit of
the people. So they are aiding the railroads
In carrying on the campaign. They don't
dare to come out to the people and tell them
why It is that my election would injure the
business interests of the state. They have
jumped to that conclusion without giving
any reason a basis for their position and
have spread it broad-based as an established
fact, that if am elected governor the interests of the state will suffer. They insist that there will be some dishonest net
Forwarders that will imperil these interests.
Just let them tell us where the ill-honesty
comes in and we will join hands with them,
for we are all interested to preserve the business
interests of our state. But they won't do this. They are trying to make political capital out of the business interests of Nebraska and of Its fair name, but the honest and upright citizens who love justice and a fair administration of the laws are coming out and declaring that this is a false cry, invented to deceive and intimidate the people.
"If the physicians and the druggists and
the undertakers and the sextons of your
city should band themselves together to advance their common interests it would be necessary for all good citizens to look out or
they would soon be out of business themselves, It Is a good deal the same way
with this alleged Business Men's association.
"If there is any one thing that will bring
out all the Bunker Hill that is an American
citizen it is to have a lot of men band themselves together and try to dictate how they shall vote. The purity of the ballot box
must be preserved. Undue influence must
be kept in the rear, The people cannot afford
to endorse an issue of this kind. Talk about
class legislation; there is nothing that is
better calculated to array class against class
than to have one body of men say to the
people 'our way is the right one and you must
walk in it or your business will suffer. '
"And now I want to say a few things in
regard to the railroads. I do not wish to be
understood as saying that anything should
be done which might injure these interests.
They are, of course, entitled to protection Just as every
other interest is. entitled to protection. But
when they encroach on the liberties of the
people the people have the right to have laws
made for their own protection. Our constitution
says that the legislature shall pass laws
to correct abuses and to prevent extortions
and other injurious practices on the part of any
railroad or telegraph or telephone company
doing business in the state. There is no
desire to array the corporations against the
people indicated in saying that the laws shall
be enforced and the rights of the people protected. We ought to disabuse our minds of the impression that because a person stands
upon a public rostrum and says he is in
favor of proper legislation on this subject
he is a demagogue or is advocating legislation
that is unjust to anyone. It was not until
the last legislature that a law was ever
placed on the statute books relating to this
matter, although this question has been
fought over in Nebraska for the past twenty-five
years. Finally, a wise and Just law was
passed, one which promised relief to the
people and at the same time protected the
rights of the railroads in every
particular. There was thrown around
It every safeguard that wisdom
and caution could suggest. It passed
both houses of the legislature, and in spite
of the enormous pressure that was brought
to bear to induce the governor to vote it, he
affixed his signature and It became a law.
But we have been unable to realize anything
on it up to the present time, and now we
see a struggle going on all over this state
to uphold, those who think that this rate law
is good and should be enforced, and that if
It is declared void by the supreme court one
should be passed, that is good and the people
given the relief they have waited for so long.
"Until this campaign I had no idea of the
enormous power that is wielded by the rail
roads of this state. I have met hundreds of
men within the past few weeks who have
told me that personally they were in favor of
the principles which I represented, but that
they didn't dare to say much about it. Is It
not a serious condition of affairs when there
Is a citizen of Nebraska who cannot come
out openly and above board and declare what
his political convictions are without losing
his position? Out I declare, and I say it
boldly, that these conditions do exist all over
Nebraska today. We are now to determine
whether the people by their sovereign right
shall govern or whether a few shall have the
power to dictate to the many. I leave this
question with you. I only ask that when
this election day arrives every citizen shall go
to the polls and cast his ballot as he conscientiously believes is for the best interests of
this fair state. "
At the close of Judge Holcomb's speech an
impromptu reception was held in front of the
platform, at which he was introduced to several hundred people, who congratulated him
on his earnest stand for the principles which
he advocated.

State of Nebraska, Dodge County, 1891: William M. Stuart, a resident of Fremont, Nebraska, says: I lived in Custer County, Nebraska, from 1875 to 1880: Was personally acquainted with Silas J. Holcomb, and have had business relations with him. I know him to be an honest, upright man. In the year 1880, while farming, and owing to my straitened circumstances, was unable to buy seed wheat. Mr. Holcomb came to me and voluntarily gave me $20 with which to buy seed wheat. I took the money, purchased the seed wheat, and after harvesting sold my crop. I then went to Mr. Holcomb and paid him back the $20 and asked him what interest he wanted. Mr. Holcomb refused to charge me any interest at all. I shall support Judge Holcomb for governor, although I am now and have always been a republican. During my residence in Custer County and long acquaintance with Mr. Holcomb, I never knew of any charges whatever being made against his honesty and integrity.
WILLIAM M. STUART,
Subscribed and sworn to before me the 24th day of October, 1891.
WENZEL GEORGE, Notary Public.
Continuing Dillon Candidacy.
The following resolution was unanimously adopted by the Swedish-American Garfield Club at its regular meeting Friday:
Whereas, It has come to the knowledge of the Republicans of the Sixth Ward that a few disappointed office seekers and kickers have formed themselves into what they term the "Sixth Ward Republican Effort Club" and have placed in nomination Gould Dietz as an independent candidate for alderman of the Sixth Ward; and,
Whereas, The association known as the "Municipal League of Omaha" has turned itself into a "democratic old society" to split the democrats in the Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth wards of this city to elect democratic councilmen by placing in nomination independent republican candidates, said wards being the only sure republican wards in the city, said Municipal League refusing to place in nomination candidates in the First and Second wards, which are always sure democratic wards without the assistance of the Municipal League, otherwise known as the "democratic old society"; therefore,
Resolved, That It is the sense of the Swedish-American Garfield Republican Club that we enter our hearty protest against the candidacy of Gould Dietz as councilman for the Sixth ward, placed in nomination by kickers and the "democratic old society." And we hereby appeal to all true republicans of the Sixth ward to stand by and heartily support O. J. Jaynes, the regular republican nominee, and to use their honest endeavors to secure his election as councilman from the Sixth ward.
WILLIAM JAMESON, After Clarence.
Mr. William Julius Caesar Putnam Cramer has filed his petition as an independent republican candidate for the city council for the Ninth ward, for the purpose of defeating George W. Mercer.
PRINCIPLES AS WELL AS MEN
Fine Points Involved in the Mandamus Proceedings at Lincoln,
DECISION WILL BE RENDERED MONDAY
Trial of the Case Holcomb Some More Lore; Printer v. Meter Before
Upon a Nebraska Court
Theories of both sides.
LINCOLN, Oct. 27. (Special.) The mandamus case of Secretary Edgerton of the populist state central committee against the secretary of state concerning the present form of the state ballot, came up in the Lancaster county district court this morning at 11:20: before Judges Hall and Tibbits, sitting together. Ex-Attorney General Leese appeared for Secretary Edgerton; United States District Attorney A. J. Sawyer for the straight democrats and State's Attorney Hastings for the secretary of state. The contention of General Leese was that the present form of the ballot, as sent out by the secretary of state, was complex, misleading, and illegal because it prevented a basis of representation being accurately estimated in the future for either the independent or democratic parties.
Mr. Sawyer asked for a postponement until next Tuesday in order to prepare an answer. The court held that the near approach of election day made it imperative that earlier action be had upon the case, and gave Mr. Sawyer until 3:30 p.m. in which to answer. Mr. Sawyer took an exception.
It was nearly 4 o'clock before Mr. Sawyer appeared in court with his answer to the petition for mandamus, but as he had previously insisted on a postponement until Tuesday to prepare the answer, this was unexpected expedition.
The answer did not even admit that an independent convention had been held. This raised a new point, and another adjournment was had until 7 o'clock this evening to afford proof of the same. In granting another continuance, the court was rather severe on the attitude of the defense in seeking to delay the case indefinitely. At 7 o'clock the court reconvened, and Secretary of State Allen went on the stand and testified concerning his action in making up the ticket according to the certificates on file in his office. Mr. Allen was followed by Secretary Edgerton, plaintiff in the case and secretary of the populist state central committee, with his evidence, which was mainly to show his authority for bringing this suit.
He was followed by General Leese, who swore to having made a demand on the secretary of state to distinguish on the ballot the two different parties who have nominated Judge Holcomb. Counsel for the plaintiff then rested.
MORE THAN 50 TO VOTE FOR.
Mr. Sawyer had no other evidence to prove than had been given by the secretary of state. Judges Hall and Tibbits announced that a similar case had been before the court one year ago. In the opinion of Judge Hall, the district court of Lancaster county had no jurisdiction over the various county clerks of the state, to whom the secretary of state had sent sample tickets.
General Leese declared that the people of Nebraska should have a right to vote for principles as well as men. He said he desired to vote for Judge Holcomb as an independent, and not as a democrat, or as a compound independent with democrat, as shown on the face of the ballot as prepared by the secretary of state. This is the gist of the entire contention of the Independents. They want the two parties nominating Judge Holcomb bracketed in two lines instead of being run in one line with a hyphen. Then the cross opposite the party would indicate the political complexion of the vote. The court did not hold that county clerks were prohibited from printing the ballots in brackets. It held that the certificate of the secretary of state was merely a matter of information for their guidance.
The court took the matter under advisement and will announce their decision Monday.
SENATOR MANAGERS AT ALLOUIS.
Financial Systems of Great Commerce.
Omaha Inserted at Length.
ALBION, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special.) The opera house here was crowded to its utmost capacity last night with Republicans, Democrats, and Populists to hear Senator Mander. He spoke for two hours and a half, and was frequently applauded. His treatment of the financial question was dispassionate and thorough. The Populists accorded him the praise of handling the questions involving their political doctrines in the fairest possible manner. He compared the countries that have free silver that are on a silver basis with those on a gold basis, and the comparison showed very conclusively that the stronger and wealthier and more civilized nations are the latter; that if the United States would occupy a place alongside of Europe instead of the weak and unstable governments of Asia and South America, it must maintain practically the financial system of the best financiers and adhere to the financial systems which have brought wealth and national greatness to England, Germany, and France. The senator said it was hardly necessary, for him to talk on the tariff, observing that tariff tinkering was doing its own talking in a way to be more convincing than any argument he could make. Yet he called attention to the fact that the tariff reform of the Rice-Gorman bill was meeting with most enthusiastic endorsement in England, where it was rekindling the fires in the forges and awakening industry, while in this country it was putting out fires, reducing wages, and putting industry to sleep.
W. H. Michael closed the meeting by an appeal to the old soldiers to stand by the ticket, which, if successful, would send to the legislature men who will elect a United States senator who will help to organize the senate in the interest of their comrades and the widows of dead comrades; to work for the election of McKellogg, who will vote to organize the house so that justice and fair play will be meted out to the men who wore the blue and stop the outrages upon them.
MANIFEST OUT IN HARLAN.
Thousands of people entertained by Springall at Orleans,
ORLEANS, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special.) The greatest political meeting ever held in Harlan county came together in Orleans on Thursday night at the college chapel to listen to Hon. Church Howe discuss the issues of the day. A special train brought 200 people from Republican City and 300 from Alma. Large delegations from Beaver City, Stamford, and Oxford drove in. Orleans citizens and those from the surrounding country turned out en masse. The Orleans College band and Aeolian quartet furnished the music for the occasion. Eight hundred people, seated and standing, were accommodated in the spacious chapel, Dr. W. H. Bonwell was the first speaker. He devoted a few minutes to the military record of Mr. Howe as a rebuke to the charges McKellogg made on Howe when he spoke from the same platform here two weeks ago. The doctor spoke of General Sedgwick's high tribute to Major Howe.
Dr. Bonwell asked the question: "Who is Church Howe anyway?" The college students took up the cry, and the vast audience, falling into line as one man, answered: "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."
Mr. Howe then addressed the audience.
Political Day at Islington,
LEXINGTON, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special.) Yesterday was a populist day at Lexington. C. M. Kem, J. C. Lynch, C. D. Schroeder, and S. J. Kent addressed the afternoon and evening meetings. The meetings were both well attended, Kem's time was largely used in explaining his votes in Congress. No republican speaker has yet been sent here by the state central committee, while occasions come comment among Republicans. Tom and Hili Capper were ignored.
PLAINFIELD, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special.) H. C. Brom, of Omaha, spoke here last night on the political issues of the day from a republican standpoint. Hon. W. S. Summers, who was advertised, did not put in an appearance. Mr. Brom's address on the financial question was a masterly effort, but his solution to the silver question provoked little comment. He failed to mention the name of Majors during his speech and utterly ignored the existence of the Business Men's Association.
OUR COUNTY CONVENTION.
Large Crowd at Republican City by Homecoming.
NEBRASKA CITY, Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.) The Republican convention of Goto County held a grand rally at the opera house this evening. There was a large crowd present, the speakers being Hon. W. Webber, Hon. John Watson, and Judge Durlette. Judge Bartlett was the opening speaker and devoted his time to ridiculing the Populist party and the defense of Majors against Hosewater's charges. His explanation was decidedly lame and was received in dead silence. The only applause he evoked was when he spoke of Hon. John C. Watson as the next state senator.
Hon. John C. Watson was then introduced, and it was some moments before he could speak for applause. Mr. Watson made an attentive speech, surprising even his most intimate friends. He devoted his time to a comparison of the republican and democratic platforms, holding the close attention of the large audience and closing amid great applause.
He was followed by Hon. John L. Webster. Mr. Webster said he wanted to say a good word for John C. Watson and Tom Majors. Mr. Watson's name was received with cheers, but the applause for Majors was faint. He cast "Dryden and all Democrats to a finish." Mr. Webster's address was one of sound Republicanism and was well received.
His remarks on the free and unlimited coinage of silver attracted considerable attention. He declared the doctrine was musty with age and had been condemned in Rome before it had ever been discussed in the United States. Wise men had condemned the idea in this country in the past, and the speaker was convinced that it would always be exploded in monetary circles.
The intrinsic value of metal as a commodity settled all questions of relative merit. Mr. Webster could not see that other questions cut any figure in the problem. He referred to the experiences of other nations in this line, and contended that all governments doing business on a gold basis are undoubtedly superior to those confined to silver as a circulating medium.
"Silver men are in the habit of saying that they are bimetallists." observed the speaker. "Is it not a self-evident proposition that with the annual coinage of so much silver at so great a depreciated value, the same could not be exchanged for gold? The 100 pounds of silver could not go to the United States treasury and exchange for gold, for there is not sufficient gold to make the exchange. The moment that the exchange of gold for silver cannot be made on account of the great difference in the equities of the two kinds of money, the silver being worth but 60 cents, while the gold is worth 100 cents, the owner of the gold dollar will refuse to exchange for the silver dollar. Gold would be at a premium, just as it was in the days of the "war" when we had a larger quantity of greenbacks than could be exchanged for gold and gold was at a premium; it was hoarded or drawn out of circulation and paper currency became the money of the day. Thus it would be with the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
Old would disappear, and silver would be the only money of the country. We would have but one kind of metal money in use and that would be silver. After referring to the enormous profit the mine owner would secure by the adoption of free coinage, Mr. Webster concluded by declaring that the whole subject resolves itself into one general proposition: That the free and unlimited coinage of silver is a device to enrich the owner, and without any corresponding benefit to the remainder of the people.

Despite the rain.
WATERLOO, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.) The republican meeting held in the opera house this evening was well attended although a driving rain set in at 7 o'clock. Judge Tlpton of Omaha held the audience for three hours. He was followed by Isaac Noyes of this place, but as the hour was getting late and the audience showed a restless uneasiness, he touched very lightly on all general subjects dear to all republicans. Both speakers made many warm friends.
Applauded the Speakers.
WILCOX, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.) An old-time republican rally was held this afternoon at Bradford's opera house, which was crowded to overflowing to listen to Hon. W. B. Andrews, J. P.

BRYAN SAYS IT IS A LIE
Declaras Himself as Opposed to Organized Labor,
REPLY TO A REPUBLICAN AFFIDAVIT
Several democratic and other candidates made speeches in Foresters' Hall in the First ward last night, and they were greeted with a large audience.
Mr. Bryan did not reach the hall until late and the other speakers filled in the time. When he did arrive, he was greeted enthusiastically, and then he lauded the entire democratic ticket, calling special attention to the legislative nominees and urging their cooperation on election day and sweep the state, and told workingmen not to suffer themselves to be intimidated, as they had the Australian ballot, which would enable them to vote their honest convictions.
Mr. Bryan called attention to a circular distributed by the republicans containing a letter from a workingman of New York City who alleges that last October Bryan made a speech at Cooper Union hall against organized labor in speaking on the tariff. Mr. Bryan denounced this as a lie, and asked his friends to look into his record. He claims that at this meeting he devoted his entire time to the discussion of other subjects. He declared himself as against convict labor, and urged laboring men to politically organize in furtherance of their rights. He said that he wanted to see United States senators elected by the direct vote of the people, and expressed favor for the income tax.
The meeting was presided over by Thomas Lowry, who wants to be elected to the council from the First ward. He said that the railroads were trying to defeat him because he was in favor of making them complete the union depot.
Mr. J. H. Kitchen took occasion to call down John Paxton, John McShane, and Euclid Martin for claiming to be straight democrats while working for the election of Tom Majors. His expressions regarding the actions of this trio were loudly cheered. He believed Hocker to be an honest and capable man who would make a safe governor and wanted to see him elected.
D. S. Parkhurst, W. A. Page, George Dare, and John P. Evans asked for the suffrage of the voters present.
Ed P. Smith, nominee for county attorney, discussed the Business Men's association, speaking of such prominent members as Sam MacLeod, J. W. Blier, Count Pulaski, and others, who were badly worried for fear the election of an honest man might injure the state's credit.
James E. Boyd received a splendid ovation when he arose to speak. He urged the election of the legislative ticket.
GREAT CROWD IN THE MAIN TRAIN from Albany to New York City.
ALBANY, Oct. 27. The tour of Governor McKinely this morning was through the lovely valley of the Mohawk, which was covered by a thick bank of fog, giving it an spectral appearance to the early risers. It was not 7 o'clock when the special train drew into Little Falls, but the town was alert and the booming of a cannon summoned the people to the depot, where the governor spoke from a stand covered with decorations. There were not less than 2,500 men in the audience, Mr. McKinley had a special word for the operatives from Gloversville. "When we prepared the tariff plan of 1890," he said, "we put a tariff on imported gloves, knowing that we would thereby secure for you steady employment at good wages. I now ask you whether the tariff did not accomplish this?" A chorus of "Yea! Yes!" was the answer.
At Amsterdam, over 3,000 expectant people greeted the governor. Mr. McKinley spoke from a platform behind which was a life-sized picture of himself marked "McKinley Bill," accompanied by the mute announcement "This Bill brings prosperity to Amsterdam."
At Schenectady not less than 4,000 people gathered about the platform of the car and listened to McKinley's tariff talk. In closing, he said: "I see that Mr. Hill says that business is resuming in this country since the passage of the tariff law of 1890. Every man in this audience knows whether business has resumed, and if it has resumed, upon what conditions that resumption has taken place. If we have had any resumption, and I hope we have, I submit that resumption has been upon a lower plane, with lower conditions, with lower wages and lower prices for American products. Is not that so?" Choruses of "Yes! Yes!" were heard.
Colonel Fred Grant still remains with the party.
Governor McKinley was escorted from the train, upon his arrival here to the city hall, where a stand had been erected and 3,000 people were waiting to hear him. He spoke on the tariff issue and incidentally suggested a joint debate upon that question between Senators Hill and Murphy. The former had voted against and the latter for the Wilson Bill.
Speaking from the platform of his car at Upstate, Governor McKinley replied to Vice President Stevenson, who spoke there on Friday night. He insisted that the revenues arising from the McKinley tariff law were sufficient to meet all the expenses of the government and pay all the pensions until the election of the new party candidates, having a different policy to put into effect. This caused a feeling of doubt and uncertainty among business men and a decrease in the volume of imports, involving a diminution of the import duties. At Newburg, a half-hour's address was made from in front of the courthouse to a large crowd.
The next stop was at Weehawken, where another special train provided on the Philadelphia & Reading road, which made a phenomenally fast run to Philadelphia. Upon his arrival in this city, the governor went to the Stafford hotel, where he was called upon by numbers of distinguished Republicans, including ex-Postmaster General John Wanamaker. Governor McKinley addressed two audiences of working men in this city tonight, and in addition delivered an outdoor address to an overflow meeting. The first speech was delivered at the Academy of Music, which contained within its walls more than 5,000 cheering admirers. After speaking nearly an hour, the governor was hurried to the Grand opera house, where he was greeted by almost as many people as could not get inside the opera house congregated in the wide street on which the building faces and waved until Governor McKinley, after finishing his speech, came out on the veranda and addressed them in a few sentences. It was nearly 10 o'clock when the speech making was concluded, and the distinguished visitor was driven directly to the Pennsylvania railroad station, where he took the 10:25 train for Columbus. He will reach that city at 2:23 tomorrow afternoon and after spending a few hours at home, he will start for St. Louis, where he is billed for a speech Monday morning. Governor McKinley will speak in several Illinois towns during Monday, arriving in Chicago and speaking in that city the same night.
Crowded the Opera House in Springfield, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.) Hon. J.H. Powers, W.H. Meredith, and Hon. W.J. Bryan addressed a large number of Sarpy county voters at the opera house this afternoon. Fully 500 were packed into the house and standing room was at a premium, many being turned away.
Fellowship Address by an Audience in Central City, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.) Hon. George D. McKinleyjohn addressed a large audience at the opera house tonight, ably discussing the limits of the day and the reasons why Nebraska should vote Republican.
SIDNEY, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.) This city was flooded this morning with literature from the Business Men's association, urging the people to support Major for governor. An interview with several business men here reveals the fact that they will stand up for Nebraska, and cast a bold veto for Judge Holcomb.
TO THE FAIR FAMILIES.
Highest Praise for "Debi in Platte County."
ELMWOOD, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.) Mr. H. Rosewater spoke to a large audience in this city tonight. The address was given thoughtful attention and was at times vigorously applauded.
After paying a tribute to the sturdy yeomanry of the state and calling attention to the fact that Cass county farmers had always been found in the front rank fighting the battles of antimonopoly and against corruption and jobbery in high places, Mr. Rosewater turned his attention to the vulnerable record of the Republican gubernatorial candidate. He showed conclusively that Majors was not a man to be trusted in the executive chair, or in any position requiring honesty and integrity. The record of the man from Omaha was spread before the people from the time when, as contingent congressman, he was all but found guilty of forgery, down to the abduction of Taylor and the drawing of the fraudulent voucher, the money secured from which went into the jacket of Majors' private secretary. Mr. Rosewater emphasized the cowardly character of the Major's campaign managers in refusing to accept the fair proposition made by him to submit the truth of the charges to a jury composed of seven prominent ministers of the gospel. This refusal acted simply as an acknowledgment that the charges were true and that they could not be met. The only reply that Majors could make to the charges was to heap abuse of the vilest character upon the man who made them.
Mr. Rosewater also touched upon the formation of the alleged Business Men's association for the purpose of electing Majors, and showed the organization up in its true light. He disproved the charges that the election of Holcomb would ruin the credit of the state, and conclusively demonstrated that the election of an honest man to the gubernatorial chair would serve notice to the boodlers that their days of rule in Nebraska were ended, and that the railroads could no longer control party politics.
He closed with an appeal to all lovers of honest government to cast their ballots for honesty and decency in politics and in the government of the state, which would do more to maintain the credit of Nebraska than to choose for governor a corrupt tool of the monopolies.
AUGUST AT BOTH WATERWAYS.
No Topic Doing Left. Turned by the New Variety Pallid.
NEW YORK. Oct. 27. The political events of the week in this state have been stirring, if not exciting. The keenest public interest has been aroused in the elections, not only because of the many issues that have been introduced into the campaign, but because of the prominent politicians that are in active service as the spokesmen of both parties. On both sides, the utmost confidence in the ultimate result is expressed, but rather than allowing confidence to govern judgment, the leaders at the respective headquarters have left no stone unturned to foster the interests of their party, and have been untiring in their efforts to swing all factions into line.
Senator Hill has done lively campaigning throughout New York City and vicinity during the week. He had previously been dodging reports throughout the state, and after a two days' visit went back into the Interior. Others closely identified with the campaign have been unremitting in their energy. Governor McKinely of Ohio, is, at present, on a tour through the state, while Governor Flower will begin his circuit Monday. During the early part of the week, many democratic conferences were held. It was said solely in the interest of harmony. Senator Faulkner came here from Washington with the avowed intention of uniting the contending factions, if possible, the object of controversy between the Graces and Tammany Democrats being the congressional nominees in several districts. So far as indicated, the question of harmony was left to right itself, as no concessions were allowed on either side.
Senator Hill left here a few nights ago, however, having first expressed himself as perfectly satisfied with the course events were taking.
The most important of the day's incidents was Colonel Strong's reception of the district leaders of the German-American Reform union at his headquarters in the Sturdevant House this afternoon.
Defended Republican Principles.
OSCEOLA, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.) The wind blew a perfect hurricane here today, but that did not hinder the people from filling the opera house and listening to Hon. A. S. Churchill of Omaha who, for more than an hour, held the close attention of the audience. He delivered a forceful argument in defense of the republican principles.
Hemingford, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.) Congressman Matt Baugherty and Senator Scamahorn of the Fourteenth district held a rousing, republican meeting this afternoon and were greeted by the largest audience of the campaign at this place. The speeches of both men had the republican ring and were well received.

Important Announcement from Tammany.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27. G. L. Loewenthal, the editor of the leading Hebrew paper in this city, has resigned from Tammany Hall and will support the union anti-Tammany ticket. His paper is the official organ of a number of orders, with an aggregated membership of 80,000 in this city alone.
Two White Caps and Their Victim Found
MEMPHIS, Oct. 27. News comes from Sevier county of a tragedy in which three men lost their lives under sensational circumstances. A large gang of whitecaps flourished in that county and several persons have been victims. A prominent farmer named Bailey, residing near Henderson Springs, had received a notice from the whitecaps that they would visit him last evening. Use Helton, a young farmer, went to town and armed preparatory to aiding Bailey to resist the attacking party. While returning to Bailey's home he unexpectedly came upon the cappers and a lively fight immediately ensued. When citizens who were attracted by the shooting arrived on the spot Helton and two of the marauders, John Latham and Isaac Keebler, lay stretched out on the ground dead.
Iowa Judges Declare Chinese of Franklin Unnaker-
CHICAGO, Oct. 27. The United States circuit court of appeals today refused a hearing in the case of George M. McDonald, president of the American Guaranty Investment company. McDonald will go to jail for eleven months unless the supreme court comes to his rescue. He was convicted about a year ago, with other officers of the company, for using the mails to prosecute the business of lottery. The decision was announced by Judge Woods, who said he was willing to give McDonald time to appeal to the supreme court before sentence is carried out, and the defendant was given a month's liberty on $5,000 bonds.
Divorced from Her Cholera epidemic.
CHICAGO, Oct. 27. Judge Tuthill today granted Anna Cronanmun Kaweett, daughter of General Grossman of New York, a divorce from George L. Kaweett, the actor. The case was not contested, as was expected, both parties having filed bills, but was submitted to the court upon depositions Kaweett accused his wife of deserting him, while she charged him with infidelity. The husband is playing in "Old Kentucky" and lives at 435 Washington avenue, this city. Cronancomplainant will resume her maiden name, which is Henrietta Grossman, the actress.
Secretary Lament's Mother McKrawville, N.Y., Oct. 27. Secretary Lament left Washington at noon today for McKrawville, N.Y., having been summoned home on account of the illness of his mother.
AMERICAN CATTLE SHUT OUT
Rough Species of Communication to Be Indulged in for a Time,
GERMANS ARE AFRAID OF TEXAS FEVER
to Allow Importation of Live to Cut Beef from This Country
on Account of its Contaminants
HAMMOND, Oct. 27. The senate today published a decree prohibiting the importation of American live cattle and fresh beef on the ground that two cargoes just arrived contained several animals suffering from Texas fever.
Consignments which are proved to have left America by October 27 are exempted from these provisions, but the animals imported must be killed at the abattoir here immediately after they are landed.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. The action of the German government in prohibiting the importation of cattle and fresh beef was not entirely unexpected by the Agricultural department, although the officials had hoped to the last moment that the Germans would prove open to reason. The matter will not be allowed to rest where it now stands, but our government will cause a thorough investigation to be made of the cases of the alleged Texas fever on which the German government has seen fit to act in such a summary manner. No doubt is felt here that these alleged cases will turn out to be founded on a mistaken diagnosis, for if there is any cattle disease that the German veterinarians know little about that disease is Texas fever, a purely climatic non-infectious fever peculiar to America. That is the opinion of the Agricultural department experts who have studied the disease for years and are aware of the state of knowledge on the subject in Europe. If the departmental examination, as expected, results in disproving the existence of the cases complained of our government will enter a vigorous protest against the action of Germany and seek to make it clear that the reason assigned for the destruction of our meat trade is diametrically stated, which fact is not expected to influence Congress very favorably toward the rectification of the sugar schedules of our tariff act sought so urgently by the German government.
Today the following telegram was sent to the secretary of state:
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE - Referencing your communication regarding the prohibition of American cattle and fresh beef in Germany, please represent to the American ambassador that the Texas fever is not communicated by infected cattle, so that even if the reported discovery of this disease be correct then there is no danger to German cattle. Also, that the meat of cattle affected by this disease has never been shown to be dangerous to the consumer.
This government inspection of all meats exported and certified that the cattle were free from disease when slaughtered. A vigorous protest should therefore be entered against the proposed action.
Acting Secretary of Agriculture,
This telegram states the position of the Agricultural department in a nutshell and the points made regarding the communicability of the disease and the harmless character of the meat of the cattle suffering from the fever are substantiated by a great mass of uncontradicted expert testimony.
It is stated at the department to be extremely improbable that any diseased cattle could have been shipped, for the reason that all expectations are absolutely prohibited from the zone in the southern section of the United States where the disease appears and the rigid inspection system would prevent any such cattle from reaching New York or the eastern ports.
It is admitted to be within the bounds of possibility that some cattle cars with soil and water from Texas might have gotten into the northwest and thus caused one or two cases of fever, but this is said to be very improbable.
Sale by Trimble, Sides & Co. Start in Flurry - In the Market.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27. The sale by Trimble, Sides & Co. yesterday of 1,000 barrels of granulated sugar at 4½ cents, with the usual rebates, which was a cut of ¼ percent on regular card rates, completely demoralized the trade today and jobbers and others who have been carrying large stocks bought on speculation previous to the adoption of the new tariff schedule became uneasy, and, not willing to take any further chances, offered sugar right and left on the same terms, the result of which was a general break in the market and a decline of ¼ of a cent on all grades except Nos. 6, 7, and 8 of the soft sugars, which declined only 1-16 of a cent. The trade is anxiously waiting the outcome of the present flurry. Many think it will result in the breaking of the compact made several years ago by members of the Wholefle Grocers exchange and the refiners.
Grellmar Onliner the details or Colonel Clenfuegos, the "Honduran Fugitive.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27. Colonel Clenfuegos, the Salvadoran refugee, is a free man. United States District Judge Morrow and United States Marshal Baldwin received telegraphic instructions from Secretary Gresham today directing that the man be freed. Marshal Baldwin left at once for Oakland, where Clenfuegos has been confined in the county jail pending final action in proceedings for his extradition.
Clenfuegos was the last of the five refugees to be turned loose. Clenfuegos was released shortly after noon. He immediately came over to this city and began preparing to start for Mexico, where he expects to join his wife and family. In the order received here, Secretary Gresham makes simply that it has been decided not to grant the extradition asked for. The local federal authorities are in the dark as to the grounds for this decision.
What Causes Pimples?
Clogging of the pores or mouths of the sebaceous glands with too much or oily matter.
The plug of serum in the center of the pimple is called a blackhead, grub, or comedone.
Neglect will permit the clogging of the pores to continue long, hence inflammation, pain, swelling, and redness, later pus or matter forms, breaks open, the plug comes out, and the pore is once was free.
There are thousands of these pores in the face alone, any one of which is liable to become clogged by neglect or disorder.
What Cures Pimples?
The only reliable preventive and cure, when not due to a constitutional humor, is Cuticura Soap.
It contains a mild proportion of Cuticura, the great Skin Cure, which enables it to dissolve those sebaceous or oily matter its forms at the mouths of the pores.
It stimulates the glands and keeps them in healthy activity, reduces inflammation, soothes and irritates, and restores the skin to its original purity.
This is the secret of its wonderful success.
For bad complexions, rough, red, inflamed, and irritated skin, and simple baby flesh diseases, it is wonderful.

The Dates College Foot Ball team played
a game of foot ball yesterday afternoon out
at the Y. M. C. A. park with the Christian
eleven nnd was defeated by thu score of
82 to 0. The. two teams were very evenly
matched as to weight , but , the home team
had far the better of It In skill and knowl
edge of the B n > c , and the work of their
backs was superior to those of the visitors.
After the line of the Y. M. C. A. team
got down to work they were much better
In both blocking and offensive play , while
the Gates line had several weak spots , es
pecially between center and left guard.
During the early part of the first hnlt
ceveral Gates men broke through and
made tackles behind the line , but they
could do so rarely after that , and they
were somewhat weak In breaking up Inter-
Ku.ne , on the whole , was n very fair
one. and , what Is of as great Importance , It
was a very clean one. There was no un-
ecemly squabbling , as has occurred very
often. The Uates boys appeared to be gen
tlemen , every one of them , and played a
gentlemanly gamp , and the same must be
laid of the Christians. The captains did
all the talking and there was very little
kicking against the decisions of the ofll-
claln. Thcrt was no fouling. It was the
Illnd of a game B. foot ball enthusiast likes

made Omaha work hard , despite the score ,
nnd ono that was not disgraced by un-
tcemly acts and language.

Htevc was willing to match. He wants It

added he would write full particulars as to
the side bet In time for the- light to Muhcr.
Corbett Is satisfied O'Donnel can whip
Maher , but regards the latter as a danger
ous antagonist , as evidenced by the big
Irishman staggering Fltzslmmons In their
fight at New Orleans. O'Donnel. he thinks ,
Is cleverer by far than Maher , and Is a coolheaded -

SEATTLE , Wash , , Oct. 27. Sixteen per
sons ten men. three women and three chil
dren were burned to death In the \Vc t
Street hotel early this morning , The bodies
thus far Identified are : '
K. IIOLMAN.
M. M'SOHLEY. '
ANUUS M'DONALD.
C. WILSON.
ANDEIISON.
ANDREW OTTEHSON.
MRS. OTTEUSON , Andrew's mother.
MRS. HUFFMAN AND LITTLE SON
AND DAUGHTER.
MRS. J. 11. HANCOCK of Holfe , la. , and
her tliree children , two girls , aged C and 2
years , and a boy , aged 4.
C. QltAllN , a laborer.
The bodies of four men. one woman and
ono child are unidentified. All were eo
badly burned that recognition Is almost Im
possible. The West Street house occupied
the upper floor of a two-story corrugated
Iron building that covers a quarter of a
block of ground nt Columbia and West
streets , one block from ihc Northern Pacific
depot and near the business center of the
city. The building was a mere shell * of
wood , covered with Iron , There were sev
eral exits to the streets , but they were nar
row. the halls were narrow nnd the rooms
small. A wholesale business house occu
pied the ground floor. The hotel being mar
the depot , and a cheap but reputable' hnuse ,
was much patronized by country iipoplo.
The flre was undoubtedly caused by the ex
plosion of a lamp In the kitchen In the rear
of the house. The proprietor's ' son was
aroused by the nolso about 1 o'clock , but be
fore he could Investigate the flames seemed
to have spread all through the- house , The
corrugated Iron sheeting kept the flames hid
until nearly the whole Interior was a furnace.
The thin partitions , were of resinous pine
covered with cheesecloth , and burned
furiously. It was not until the flames were
seen burning In the windows by people in
the streets that an alarm of flre was turned
In by a policeman. When tlie flrcmen. sr-
rlved the flre did not present an alarming
aspect. The people at the windows \n-ro
rescued with ladders and boards , some ts-
caplne with hardly any clothes. A woman
who was carried down by a fireman screamed
out that her baby was In the building and 11
fireman wnnt up a ladder and brought It
down. D. D. Glass , Edward Havlln and
C. D. Johnson lumped to the ground and
were Injured BO biclly that they were tiilien
to a hospital. All will recover. The
crowd In the street then supposed that the
lodgers had all escaped. ,
QUESTS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ESCAPED ,
The firemen played water through the windows
dews and were rcldorced by the flre boat
the building being only a short distance from
the water front. At 2 : 5 o'clock a. m. the
flre was under control and the firemen were
able to enter the shell of Iron. At the- head
of the stairs at the West stree. entrance they
found tlie body of a man pinned to the floor
by the ruins of a bed. He had apparently
just heard the alarm and was dressing when
overcome by the smoke and ; suffocated , for
the only clothitiE lie had' ' on were his trousers
and boots. He was carried1 to the foot 'of the
stairs by the firemen arid taken to the North
ern Pacific depot , wrapped In a comforter.
The body wasi horribly burned. Continuing
their search , the firemen discovered corpse
, after corpse , until atI o'clock they had
counted fifteen. Subsequently another wns
found.
Most of the bodies were left where they
lay until daylight , In the hope that the pro
prietor might Identify them by locating the
rooms on the register , for nil the bodies ex
cept two were charred beyond a possibility ol
recognition. Ono poor fellow was caught In
the rush of the , conflagration near the top
of the West street stairway and sunk down
overcome- with the smoke nnd flames. The
firemen fought to keep the flre away from his
body , but were driven back. In one of the
hallways n body , charred black and without
a vestige of clothing , was found , A little
farther on In the same passageway was an
other body , evidently that of a woman , face
upwards and hands outstretched as If fight
ing for her life and appealing for assistance
which never came. There was little loft o
the woman's form , for part of the body was
charred and the burned bones lay around It
In another hall or passageway wns anothei
body. It was evidently that of an agec
woman. Her body was fearfully contortec
and her face was upward and the form prc
ser.ted was that ot one who had died In the
most violent anony. The burned arms am
hands were uplifted , and In one blackenei
hand was a handful ot hair , as If she. In her
agony , had clutched It In de-spalr when th
flro came upon her.
SADDEST SIGHT OF ALL.
The saddest sight of all was found In an
inside room off the passage which led to
West street. There , calmly lying In a
charred and blackened bed , was evidently an
entire family. Thr ; father lay on one eldo
the wife next to him , and n little burned am
blackened arm , the flesh falling In shreds
from it , the small fingers clutched , showei
that a little child was among the victims
In an adjoining room was a still more horrl
ble sight. In a corner of a small' Inside room
two charred and naked skeletons met th
gaze. The- flesh was burned from each , am
the first , that of a man , with blackened
stumps of arms , seemed to be fighting an
Impending danger. Immediately beyond him
also boldly upright and clutching his waist
was the skeleton of a woman. Startled
they had risen from tlrolr couch , the smok
and flames had rushed In upon them , am
before they had realized their awful danger
they were overpowered and mcl the most
horribleof deaths. In a portion of a hotel
where the flames did not destroy the wood
work , the bodies of two more were found.
One man was completely dressed and the
other was In his night clothes. They were
suffocated by smoke. In ona of the ruined
rooms at the end of oj orjow hall under n
broken window , where oiio man was found
dead. Is a whlto streak 'ttn the wall un
touched by flre , untarnlslfeti by smoke , kept
thus by the upraised ! arm of this victim ,
. where an arm rested against the wall , when ,
In a last strugglehe , .reached . upward 'for
help in Jls awful agony. In tlio corner of a
room where the upper-parts of the walls are
burned away Is an untainted epot upon the
floor and on both the torn'tr walls. In that
place , against the wall , , tfit a wife , dead , her
arms about the walht Af.hcr dead husband ,
who sat before her onheL floor , his feet and
arms burned off , his efts''turned out and her
hamla burned off. In a'h'oufijr room Is a long
unbumed spot , the snap ? of a man , where
one was found dressefl 'apd dead , with his
face badly burned , c
The bodies were taken tc the morgue this
morning In boxes or carlvJs sacks. Moat
ot the bodies werewrfcppVd In stained and
dirty bed aJothlng fronxithe store rooms of the
burned hotel. Some of them were so badly
burned that only the wrappings held the
body and trunk from falling asunder. As
the rigor of death had long before set In , It
wag almost Impossible to straighten out the
distorted limbs of some of the dead. One
corpse , that of a man whoso head was
burned entirely oft , was bowed up almost as
If tied In a knot. He had died on his hunds
and knees , with hU face burled In the bed
clothes. The bodies of two ot the littles girls
were naked and were- distorted Into stapes
hardly human , Their little bands and feet
were entirely consumed , and only the ends of
charred bones of legs and anus remained.
The arrangement of the halts ot the hotel
made mcli a labyrinth that in the day time
one unfamiliar with the plane would have
hid difficulty la finding his way about with
out several attempts , and at Ilia halls were
filled with smoke there was little chance
for any of them to grfcpe thslr way out before
foresuffocating. . Someof I ho lodgers WITC

PHILADELPHIA , Oct. 27. Something of a
sensation was created among wholesale gro
cers of this city by the action of the largo
wholesale firm of Trimble , Sides & Co. In
cutting Bugar prices one-third of 1 cent by
selling 1,000 barrels of granulated Eiigar at
414 cents per pound , less the refiners rebate ,
which Is three-sixteenths of 1 cent on 100-
barrel lots , with an additional trade discount
of 1 per cent for cash. There la an agree
ment among the Wholesale Grocers and
Importers exchange not to undersell the
rates quoted by the refiners. .When the
news of the action of Trimble , Sides. & Co.
leaked out considerable feeling was mani
fested. Some of the prominent members
of the exchange claimed It would break up
tbo organization. It la said in Chicago ,
Detroit and one or two other western c.tles
that granulated sugar , which costs 4 cents per
paunJ , plus the freight charges , had been
selling at I'/i cents. A member of the firm
Involved says there Is no cause for bad feelIng -
Ing In the matter an the sugar sold was stock
his firm had bought eome time ago when
refiners were telling at 1 cents , and he made
the sales to well known jobbers In 100-barrel
lots at 1 % rents , with the usual discount
and an agreement that they would not sell
at less than the regular charges made to
the wholesale grocers by the refiners. Ho
anticipated a drop by Monday to I'.i cents
and concluded to make a profit.

On Omaha's *
Plow Work Line Varsity
All Games Over.
The Dates College Foot Ball team played
a game of foot ball yesterday afternoon out
at the Y. M. C. A. park with the Christian
eleven and was defeated by the score of
82 to 0. The two teams were very evenly
matched as to weight, but, the home team
had far the better of it in skill and knowledge
of the game, and the work of their
backs was superior to those of the visitors.
After the line of the Y. M. C. A. team
got down to work they were much better
in both blocking and offensive play, while
the Gates line had several weak spots, especially between center and left guard.
During the early part of the first half
several Gates men broke through and
made tackles behind the line, but they
could do so rarely after that, and they
were somewhat weak in breaking up interference, on the whole, was a very fair
one, and, what is of as great importance, it
was a very clean one. There was no unsportsmanlike squabbling, as has occurred very
often. The Gates boys appeared to be gentlemen,
every one of them, and played a gentlemanly game,
and the same must be said of the Christians. The captains did
all the talking and there was very little
kicking against the decisions of the officials.
There was no fouling. It was the kind of a game a foot ball enthusiast likes
to see: A hard game, for the Gates boys
made Omaha work hard, despite the score,
and one that was not disgraced by unsportsmanlike acts and language.
WORK OF THE PLAYERS.
Gardner played in varsity shape. With
the coaching that could be received at a larger
- v. school he will make a very good back.
His running is hard and fast and he is a
Very hard runner to down. His dodging is
good and he finds and enters an opening
in true varsity style. Whatever faults one
could find in his following of interference
end line bucking will need only experience
and practice to eradicate. For some reason his kicking yesterday was not good.
Hurdlck makes the other of a very good
pair and he also played a good game yesterday. Von Camp was slow to find a hole
and he did not follow his interference.
When he got started, however, he made
some very good runs, one in particular of
sixty-five yards. The backs on the other
side had a hard line to buck against and
could make only small gains. The work
of the quarter was good. He tackled well
and got his man frequently behind the line.
Of the line men Walttemeler did the best
work, breaking through often and getting
his man, and it was very rarely that the
runner could get past him on either side.
Coleman also played an excellent game at
tackle, both in blocking and setting through,
and when he got the ball he ran very hard,
but hardly low enough, and always made good gains. He made one
beautiful run between right tackle and
guard for sixty yards, and also scored a
touchdown, On the other line the right end,
Free, who was hurt in the second half and
retired, played an excellent game,
OMAHA SCORED QUICKLY,
Gates won the toss and chose the south-
goal, Gardner kicked off. Grabiel, Heck-
worth and Ellis made a succession of short
gains through the line and then lost the
ball to Omaha. Gardner went through the
center for a good gain. Hurdlck followed
and short gains by Gardner, Van Camp
and Hurdlck sent the ball up near the goal,
Hurdlck went over for a touchdown. Gardner kicked goal. Score, 6-0.
Ellis kicked off from the center. Gates
men broke through and downed the runner
several times behind the line. End runs by
Gardner, Hurdlck and Van Camp and line
plays by Coleman and Gardner brought
the ball to the goal line and Coleman was
ran around right end for a touchdown. Gardner kicked goal. Score. 12-0.
Ellis kicked off again for a number of
times the runner was downed behind the
line, especially by Thompson, and several
goal fumbles were in fact. The ball was lost
to Gates, but was almost immediately regained.
Grabiel was tackled behind the line by Walttemeler, nice made four yards
and then the ball was lost on downs.
Gardner went through a pretty hole in the
center for four and ten yards. Then Coleman
went between right guard and tackle
for sixty yards, the prettiest run of the day.
Gardner, by short gains, brought the ball
within a yard of goal. He was sent against
center twice, but made no gain, and then
Hurdlck went around right end for a touchdown. Gardner kicked goal. Score, 18-0.
End of the first half.
In the second half the ball was kicked
by Ellis and caught by Hurdlck. Van
Camp went through the center for two
yards. Hurdlck between right tackle and
end for three. Gardner and Coleman went
through center for seven more. Hurdlck
drove between left guard and tackle for
fifteen yards. Then Van Camp circled
around left end for a beautiful run of sixty-five
yards and a touchdown, Gardner
kicked goal. Score, 21-0.
BUSIEST TIME OF THE DAY.
Ellis kicked off, Walttemeler blocked the
kick and Thompson fell on the ball. Heck-
worth made a yard, Grabiel was tackled
behind the line by Walttemeler, losing
five yards, and then gained three. The ball
went to Omaha on downs. Hurdlck made a
yard around right end. Van Camp was
tackled by Free and lost four yards and
more was lost by a fumble. Gardner made

SHUTS OUT LINCOLN.
MONTANA UNIVERSITY ELEVEN MEET DENVER CRUSHER IN THE CONCRETE CRETE FROM CRETE.
LINCOLN, Oct. 27.—Special (Telegram.) The best football game of the season was kicked off in Lincoln today. The contest was between the State university team and the boys of Doane college. The result was in favor of the Crete athletes by the score of 12 to 0. Doane's members are still veterans, and, as it has been the dream of their lives to beat Lincoln, they were today rewarded. Doane's best, the Lincolns could not score a touchdown nor kick a goal. The teams lined up as follows:
Doane. Positions. Lincoln.
Houston Left end Dunning
Thomas Left tackle Ouray
Lee Left guard Wilson
Fisher Center Remsen
Owen High guard Smith
Henson High tackle. Dern (Capt.)
Kemsey High end Wiggins
Lenhardt quarterback back Crawford
Mains (Capt.L) fullback Kilpatrick
Keeley High half back Fair
Fuller Fullback, Haywood
Summary: Touchdown by H. Kemsey, touchdown by Mains; two goals kicked by Fuller. Umpire: Clark, Omaha. Referee: Cornell, Lincoln. Linesman: Crabtree, Ames.
Doane objected to playing coaches, but Nebraska refused to play without Crawford. Doane won the toss and took the west goal.
Nebraska, kicked off to Doane, and the scrimmage started on Doane's twenty-yard line, who carried and kicked to the center. Nebraska took the ball, but failed to find any holes in Doane's lines and punted. Doane carried the ball down the field and, by two crisscross plays, scored and kicked goal. The first half ended with the ball in Doane's territory. Score: Doane, 6; Nebraska, 0.
Doane kicked off and downed Nebraska's man within five yards of his own goal. Nebraska punted thirty yards, when Doane forced it down to Nebraska's ten-yard line, where Mains lost by severe tackle by Flippin. Frank downed it within one foot of Nebraska's goal. Nebraska's line plays failed to net five yards and she kicked for ten in touch. Doane paced it in fifteen yards, and, by three successive plunges by Mains through tackle, scored another touchdown and Fuller's goal right left helped it over. The last fifteen minutes of the game were played between Doane's twenty and forty-yard lines, the ball changing frequently on downs. Nebraska, made desperate by prospects of a shutout, played like fiends, but whether line plays or end runs were attempted, they ran against Mains' Tiges, who blocked close and tackled low and hard. From first to last it was clear that Nebraska was outclassed and that the Tigers would capture the goddess of victory hair and baggage.
CRETE, Neb., Oct. 27 (Special Telegram.) Half of Crete went to Lincoln this morning to see the Doane football team win a game from the stalwart men of the State university, and, as the game progressed, the town men, who have backed the boys, spurred on by ambition to snatch the championship from the men who have held it for three years past, the boys have trained thoroughly, and tonight rejoice over a victory well deserved. The whole city is wild with enthusiasm over the victory. As large a crowd met the boys at the train as gathered to hear Governor McKinley. Doane's men sleep amid fumes of pitch and witch hazel, but serene in the thought of being champions of Nebraska.

YALE WRESTLES WITH HARVARD
Team from Boston Makes It Exciting; for the Massachusetts teams Crowd.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27. The football game between Harvard and Cornell universities was played at Manhattan field today and resulted in a victory for Harvard, after a rattling game, by 22 to 12. The game was from start to finish one of the best contested matches ever played here, and had the Cornell boys worked with the same vim in the first half which they displayed in the last. It is anything but improbable that the result might have been different.
The turf at Manhattan Field was strong, but the heavy downpour of water made the gridiron pasty. Both teams arrived in the city last night and were in good condition. The teams lined up as follows:
Cornell. Position. Harvard,

Second and a Half Cut of the Allow Record
Other Interesting Match Results.
WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 27. Seven records were lowered at the Waltham track
today. The most important achievement was Tyler's trial for the one mile flying
start record, which was reduced to 1:48:3-5, one second and two fifths below the record
made by Zelgler in Sacramento a few weeks ago. Tyler had the usual tandem teams to
pace him. He now holds all records in his class from one-third to two miles. The
intermediate times today were: Quarter, 0:60:1-5; third, 0:35:4-5; half, 0:51:5; two-thirds,
1:12 2-5; three-quarters, 1:21:3-0 (world's record), mile, 1:45 3-5 (world's record),
Arthur Porter lowered the class A record for the one-third and the half mile records,
formerly held by himself. The times were: Third, 0:33; half, 0:51. The former record
for the third was 0:33:4-5, and for the half 0:53.
Haggerty and Williams, tandem, were paced by a triplet, and rode the quarter in
0:20:1-5, breaking the Banker brothers' record. The third was reached in 0:32:2-5, breaking
the record held by Mayo and Saunders; the mile in 1:52:3-5, breaking the world's record
made by Cabanne and Titus.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 27. The first annual twenty-five mile handicap bicycle race
under the management of S. Q. Spier was run at Agricultural park this afternoon.
The track was in good condition, but a strong breeze up the stretch prevented fast
time. There were eighteen starters, but only eleven finished. The start was a good
one and it was a pretty race from start to finish, and was won by Wilbur J. Edwards
of San Jose by half a wheel. Zelgler of San Jose was second and Oscar Olsen of San
Jose third. Edwards' time: 1:09:11. The coast record, 1:05:52:2-5, is held by Thomas
McAleer of Los Angeles, who finished seventh in the race.
CHAMPION TO MEET O'DONNELL
Corbett's Sparring Partner to Finish with
the Title in Time.
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 27.-Champion
Corbett, in answering a telegram from W. A.
Brady announcing that Peter Maher, the
Irish champion, had posted a forfeit of $500
in New York for a match with Steve O'Donnell,
the big Australian, for a battle for $12,500 or
$10,000 a side, wired Brady that he was
willing to match. He wants it to take place
about the same time the Fitzsimmons-Corbett
fight comes off. Corbett added he would
write full particulars as to the side bet in
time for the fight to Maher. Corbett is
satisfied O'Donnell can whip Maher, but
regards the latter as a dangerous antagonist,
as evidenced by the big Irishman staggering
Fitzsimmons in their fight at New Orleans.
O'Donnell, he thinks, is cleverer by far than
Maher, and is a cool-headed lighter, as well
as a scientific boxer, and would outgeneral
Maher in a finish fight.
CIMARRON JIM AM > THE KINETOGRAPH:
Corbett Not Inclined to Consider the Company's Liberal Offer,
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 27.-Champion Corbett, speaking today of the $50,000 offer of the Kinetoscope company, said it could not be considered at this time, until it was demonstrated that the fight could not be pulled off successfully in Florida, and it was un-businesslike to figure on a match elsewhere yet.
Speaking of the kinetoscope, he said that while it was a great invention, two men battling for the world's championship would not have in mind the benefits to accrue to the inventor when they met in the ring. The scheme, he said, was impracticable.
SPRINGFIELD, Neb., Oct. 27.-Special Telegram. Will Ward, Jack Evans, and Level Anson went against time today over the Springfield-Papillion twenty-mile course in competition for the silver medal time prize, held since September 15 by C.A. Hollorff, whose time was one hour, ten minutes, and eight seconds. Ward succeeded in lowering the record to one hour, eight minutes, and one second. The run to Papillion, ten miles, was made in twenty-eight minutes. A strong southwest wind on the return trip made record breaking very difficult.
Not Much of a Drop.
The benefit game of ball for Joe Walsh yesterday afternoon did not pan out very flatteringly. The weather was miserable, the blinding clouds of dust which continually filled the air making it next to impossible for the players to distinguish one from another. The receipts in consequence were very small.
YEARLING RECORD.
DALLAS, Tex., Oct. 27. At the Texas state fair races today, Elrod, by Electrify, dam by Dumas, in the yearling colt race, half mile, paced the first heat in 1:07 flat, three and one-fourth seconds faster than the world's record for yearling pacers. Track dry and slow.

NEW BUILDING COLLAPSES.
LOS ANGELES, Calif., Oct. 27.-A one-story brick building in course of erection on the north of the plaza collapsed this afternoon badly injuring three men. The structure was a cheap affair and one of the iron pillars used in constructing was not strong enough to sustain the weight of the superstructure.
SIXTEEN FURNISHED DEATH
All but Six of the Victims Have Already Been Identified!
BUILDING WAS A REGULAR FIRE TRAP
Lodgers Were All Scattered to the Four Winds of the Building Until After the Fire Was.
Extinct, Holders Only Lined the Streets to be Identified by a Clear Location.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 27. Sixteen persons, ten men, three women, and three children, were burned to death in the West Street hotel early this morning. The bodies thus far identified are:
E. HOLMAN.
M. M'SHLEY.
ANDREW M'DONALD.
C. WILSON.
ANDERSON.
ANDREW OTTENSON.
MRS. OTTENSON, Andrew's mother.
MRS. HUFFMAN AND LITTLE SON AND DAUGHTER.
MRS. J.H. HANCOCK of Holme, la., and her three children, two girls, aged 6 and 2 years, and a boy, aged 4.
C. QUILLIN, a laborer.
The bodies of four men, one woman, and one child are unidentified. All were so badly burned that recognition is almost impossible. The West Street house occupied the upper floor of a two-story corrugated iron building that covers a quarter of a block of ground at Columbia and West streets, one block from the Northern Pacific depot and near the business center of the city. The building was a mere shell of wood, covered with iron. There were several exits to the streets, but they were narrow. The halls were narrow and the rooms small. A wholesale business house occupied the ground floor. The hotel, being near the depot, and a cheap but reputable house, was much patronized by country people.
The fire was undoubtedly caused by the explosion of a lamp in the kitchen in the rear of the house. The proprietor's son was aroused by the noise about 1 o'clock, but before he could investigate, the flames seemed to have spread all through the house. The corrugated iron sheeting kept the flames hidden until nearly the whole interior was a furnace. The thin partitions were of resinous pine covered with cheesecloth, and burned furiously. It was not until the flames were seen burning in the windows by people in the streets that an alarm of fire was turned in by a policeman. When the firemen arrived, the fire did not present an alarming aspect. The people at the windows were rescued with ladders and boards, some escaping with hardly any clothes. A woman who was carried down by a fireman screamed out that her baby was in the building and a fireman went up a ladder and brought it down. D.D. Glass, Edward Havlin, and C.D. Johnson jumped to the ground and were injured so badly that they were taken to a hospital. All will recover. The crowd in the street then supposed that the lodgers had all escaped.
QUESTS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ESCAPED,
The firemen played water through the windows and were reinforced by the fireboat, the building being only a short distance from the water front. At 2:50 a.m., the fire was under control and the firemen were able to enter the shell of iron. At the head of the stairs at the West Street entrance, they found the body of a man pinned to the floor by the ruins of a bed. He had apparently just heard the alarm and was dressing when overcome by the smoke and suffocated, for the only clothing he had on were his trousers and boots. He was carried to the foot of the stairs by the firemen and taken to the Northern Pacific depot, wrapped in a comforter. The body was horribly burned. Continuing their search, the firemen discovered corpse after corpse, until at 3 o'clock they had counted fifteen. Subsequently another was found.
Most of the bodies were left where they lay until daylight, in the hope that the proprietor might identify them by locating the rooms on the register, for all the bodies except two were charred beyond a possibility of recognition. One poor fellow was caught in the rush of the conflagration near the top of the West Street stairway and sank down overcome with the smoke and flames. The firemen fought to keep the fire away from his body, but were driven back. In one of the hallways was a body, charred black and without a vestige of clothing, was found. A little farther on in the same passageway was another body, evidently that of a woman, face upwards and hands outstretched as if fighting for her life and appealing for assistance which never came. There was little left of the woman's form, for part of the body was charred and the burned bones lay around it in another hall or passageway was another body. It was evidently that of an aged woman. Her body was fearfully contorted and her face was upwards and the form presented was that of one who had died in the most violent agony. The burned arms and hands were uplifted, and in one blackened hand was a handful of hair, as if she, in her agony, had clutched it in despair when the fire came upon her.
SADDEST SIGHT OF ALL.
The saddest sight of all was found in an inside room off the passage which led to West Street. There, calmly lying in a charred and blackened bed, was evidently an entire family. The father lay on one side, the wife next to him, and a little, burned and blackened arm, the flesh falling in shreds from it, the small fingers clenched, showed that a little child was among the victims. In an adjoining room was a still more horrible sight. In a corner of a small inside room, two charred and naked skeletons met the gaze. The flesh was burned from each, and the first, that of a man, with blackened stumps of arms, seemed to be fighting an impending danger. Immediately beyond him, also boldly upright and clutching his waist, was the skeleton of a woman. Startled, they had risen from their couch, the smoke and flames had rushed in upon them, and before they had realized their awful danger, they were overpowered and met the most horrible of deaths. In a portion of a hotel where the flames did not destroy the wooden work, the bodies of two more were found. One man was completely dressed and the other was in his night clothes. They were suffocated by smoke. In one of the ruined rooms at the end of a long hall, under a broken window, where one man was found dead, is a white streak on the wall untarnished by smoke, kept thus by the upraised arm of this victim, where an arm rested against the wall, when, in a last struggle, he reached upward for help in his awful agony. In the corner of a room where the upper parts of the walls are burned away is an untainted spot upon the floor and on both the torn walls. In that place, against the wall, fit a wife, dead, her arms about the wall, after her dead husband, who sat before her on the floor, his feet and arms burned off, his legs turned out and her hands burned off. In a nearby room is a long unburned spot, the snap of a man, where one was found dressed and dead, with his face badly burned.
The bodies were taken to the morgue this morning in boxes or carry sacks. Most of the bodies were wrapped in stained and dirty bedclothes from the store rooms of the burned hotel. Some of them were so badly burned that only the wrappings held the body and trunk from falling asunder. As the rigor of death had long before set in, it was almost impossible to straighten out the distorted limbs of some of the dead. One corpse, that of a man whose head was burned entirely off, was bowed up almost as if tied in a knot. He had died on his hands and knees, with his face buried in the bedclothes. The bodies of two of the little girls were naked and were distorted into shapes hardly human. Their little hands and feet were entirely consumed, and only the ends of charred bones of legs and arms remained. The arrangement of the halls of the hotel made much a labyrinth that in the daytime one unfamiliar with the place would have had difficulty in finding his way about without several attempts, and at night the halls were filled with smoke, there was little chance for any of them to grasp their way out before being overcome by smoke. Some of the lodgers woke up alive and were overtaken in bed, others rushed into the halls and were suffocated and burned.
COAL DOCKS DESTROYED
Sparks from an Engine Started a Fire Which
Could Have Been Valuable Group.
PENSACOLA, Fla., Oct. 27. Fire today destroyed the coal piers belonging to the Export Coal company, and the immense warehouse of the Louisville & Nashville railway and valuable property situated on the Louisville & Nashville coal dock. The fire caught on a warehouse from sparks from the hoisting engine which was at work discharging a cargo from the Norwegian bark Amity. It had been burning some time before an alarm was sent in, and the flames were furiously licking up the wharf and buildings when the fire department reached the scene. Fleets of tugs lessened the danger to the shipping by pushing the vessels out into the bay. The Louisville & Nashville owned the warehouse and coal piers and several employee buildings which were destroyed. One-half of the dock was burned, together with twenty cars, some loaded with coal and others empty. The warehouse contained 2000 tons of salt, which is a total loss. The Norwegian bark Eliese, which was lying at the dock, had most of her rigging burned, and was only saved by being towed out into the stream, and the bark Amity was also considerably damaged. At 11 o'clock, while firemen were working on the warehouse, several barrels of oil exploded, seriously, if not fatally injuring Chief Haller and a fireman named Driston. A sailor on board the bark Eliese was killed and another badly injured by a topmast which was burned so it fell, knocking him overboard. The fire is now under control. The damage is estimated at from $100,000 to $125,000.

Sensation Among Wholesale Grain in Minneapolis.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27. Something of a sensation was created among wholesale grocers of this city by the action of the large wholesale firm of Trimble, Sides & Co. In cutting sugar prices one-third of 1 cent by selling 1,000 barrels of granulated sugar at 414 cents per pound, less the refiners' rebate, which is three-sixteenths of 1 cent on 100-barrel lots, with an additional trade discount of 1 percent for cash. There is an agreement among the Wholesale Grocers and Importers exchange not to undersell the rates quoted by the refiners. When the news of the action of Trimble, Sides & Co. leaked out, considerable feeling was manifested. Some of the prominent members of the exchange claimed it would break up the organization. It is said in Chicago, Detroit and one or two other western cities that granulated sugar, which costs 4 cents per pound, plus the freight charges, had been selling at 1 1/2 cents. A member of the firm involved says there is no cause for bad feeling in the matter and the sugar sold was stock his firm had bought some time ago when refiners were telling at 1 cents, and he made the sales to well-known jobbers in 100-barrel lots at 1 1/2 cents, with the usual discount and an agreement that they would not sell at less than the regular charges made to the wholesale grocers by the refiners. He anticipated a drop by Monday to 1 1/2 cents and concluded to make a profit.

Cats One Party Four Times and Another Electric Trains Revolving; Jim Harvey Some Stanger.
Twenty-ound Indicted.
At 2 o'clock this morning Charles Sherman, an all-around crook, had a quarrel on Douglas street with Harvey Scales, a hackman. He rushed at him with a knife. He cut him in four places, but not seriously. He then attacked Jim Overton, a hackman, and stabbed him eight times, but none of the wounds are dangerous.
Rushing down Douglas street toward Thirteenth, Sherman met a traveling man from Chicago named Elsman and drew the knife on him, but Elsman drew his revolver and stood him off.

LORD THIS IS TO GOOD! Girl But Her Father for Whipping Her Son
TRENTON, Mo., Oct. 27. News of a sad tragedy comes from a point fifteen miles northwest of this city. Farmer Sprout, prominent in that part of the state, severely whipped his son for some misdemeanor. His twin sister Ollie, an exceedingly stout young woman, became enraged at the treatment accorded her brother and attacked her father. The attack broke three ribs and injured him internally so severely that his life is despaired of. The girl then, stricken with remorse, placed the muzzle of a small shotgun to her left breast and sent the load through her body. She died in great agony.
BOSTON, Oct. 27. Clarence H. Blackall of the firm of Blackall & Newton, architects and real estate operators, has filed insolvent papers. His liabilities are estimated at $290,000, of which $200,000 is secured by mortgages on real estate. The assets, it is stated, are of little value outside of the mortgaged property. The failure is due to numerous unsuccessful building schemes in which Mr. Blackall is involved. The failure is a personal one and does not involve the firm. | 14 |

Some merry , friendly counta ( oiks
Tcfjcther illtl convene ,
To burn their nits , an' pou their stocks ,
An1 baud their Halloween ,
Fu'blythe that night.
FashlonaWo folks are doing thelr'frlvollng
less , and less In tlio town and more and moio
nt their country seats. Halloween , which , is
all the world knows , comes on the. last day
pf October , and In the heart of the Indian
summer , Is an Ideal fete for the Jolly house
parties that arc making merry In Lenox and
Tuxedo and all along the line of the autumn
stamping grounds of the smart sot.
To make a short story of several detached
chapters , culled from order books. Halloween
is to bo given over this year to feasting and
dancing , and midnight trick revels that are
to be robbed of their grewsomeness out of
consideration for the timidity of the timer *
ous and dtvested of the moro boisterous
bumpkin antics out of regard for elegant
Belindas ami Dobbins who do not like to
ruin their toes bobbing for apples In a tub ,
and doing similar feats of the peasantry.
There are to be any number of dinner par
ties on Halloween , with dancing for the after
math ; and for the cotillion , without which
a dance nowadays Is like a bird without a
Bonn , nil ( lie favors nro being ordered with
cBpocl.il reference to the manifold folk talcs
of the Scottish country folk , from -whom
moat of the Halloween tricks and trumperies
liavo been handed down.
Foremost are the Brownies ,
Good fairies , good luck. The Brownies done
into gold , and enamel , some ot them of spe
cial magnificence , by private order , Into pre
cious stones , arc harbingers of fair fortune ,
nnd 33 such , nru the star Halloween gifts
of the season.
The "nits , " as the peasantry of Scotland
call nuts , will be named and toasted In the
big hall fireplaces of many a ( Ino country
house , but tlie modern maid does not like
to avow her flirtations propensities by openly
naming the nuts , and for her especial delec
tation there nro Halloween nuts this year
In gold ami silver that open when n tiny
spring Is pressed , disclosing a trinket case ,
In which a bauble of elegant workmanship
reclines , mayhap a ring , perhaps a thimble
for mademoiselle's embroidery or charity
sowing.
A. slick pin that has been designed for n
Hal.lowcen gift gels Us cue from the line of
Burns' Halloween "Pou the stocks , " or rather
from the superstition that the poet there re
fers to. Pulling the stalk of a Kale plant
Is the first of the old ceremonies of the even
ing , and the silversmiths , and goldsmiths
Iiavo made all their tiny stalks straight and
fair , to show that the omen Is a good one.
Of candlesticks there Is an Infinite variety ,
with one or two especially made for the eve
of All Saints mysteries. Ono that has a
mischievous sprite Cor a holder Is quaint and
bound to supply at least one extra face In
the looking glass. Another odd little holder
Is the stem of an apple , the fruit forming
the base.
Ono of the most elegant gifts for a falre
ladyo on Halloween will be a triple mirror
with candelabra attachment , a desideratum
of the dressing room that comes high , but
Is so useful the year round It's one of the
best of tokens for the season.
Uesldos the coatller gifts , there are any
unmber of comparatively Inexpensive trink
ets that answer for German favors , among
thorn being many times "twa red cliccklt
apples , " made In natural hues of silk and
crepe paper , and also some trick apples that
open to disclose bonbons.
The fad of every hostess. Is to have unique'
favors , and this presupposes a specially de
signed supply. For n house party In the
Jlerkshlres there arc being made some witch
caps and brooms , and fcir the men some
fantastic "Junipers , " all of which are to be
donned Just before midnight , In which to
york some spells that are to take place In
a huco now barn on the estate.
In the Holloxteen supper that is to follow
the place of honor Is to he given to a dlsli
of "buttor'd so'ns , wl1 fracrnnt iunt , " pre
pared by the Scotch recipe , sowens with but
ter In place of milk , forming the chief ar
ticle of diet on a properly observed Hal
loween.
Uniqueness rules. It also costs. The nov
elties of the season are largely prepared to
flll private orders , but the dealers report a
growing demand for trinkets symbolizing spe
cial fetes , and for this general trndo that
has not arrived at the munificence of having
epoclat designs made to their order , nothing
fs In greater demand than the Hrownles.

SOUVENIRS FOR HALLOWEEN
Cotillion fare Which Are Suggested for
All Souls' Eve.
SOCIETY UNBENDS DURING THE PAST WEEK
at Milwaukee murderer, Red at the
Match volleyball dominants Some important
Halloween
of HID Steeple.
Some merry, friendly counties
Together in convention,
To burn their nuts, and pour their stocks,
And hand their Halloween,
Fable that night.
Fashionable folks are doing their frolicking
Less, and less in the town and more and more
at their country seats. Halloween, which, is
All the world knows, comes on the last day
Of October, and in the heart of the Indian
summer, is an Ideal feast for the Jolly house
Parties that are making merry in Lenox and
Tuxedo and all along the line of the autumn
Stampping grounds of the smart set.
To make a short story of several detached
Chapters, culled from order books, Halloween
Is to be given over this year to feasting and
Dancing, and midnight trick revels that are
To be robbed of their grewsomeness out of
Consideration for the timidity of the timid
And devest of the more boisterous
Bumpkin antics out of regard for elegant
Belindas and Dobbins who do not like to
Ruin their toes bobbing for apples in a tub,
And doing similar feats of the peasantry.
There are to be any number of dinner parties on Halloween,
With dancing for the after math; and for the cotillion, without which
A dance nowadays is like a bird without a song,
All the favors are being ordered with
Special reference to the manifold folk tales
Of the Scottish country folk, from whom
Most of the Halloween tricks and trumperies
Have been handed down.
Foremost are the Brownies,
Good fairies, good luck. The Brownies done
Into gold, and enamel, some of them of special magnificence,
By private order, Into precious stones, are harbingers of fair fortune,
And such, are the star Halloween gifts
Of the season.
The "nuts," as the peasantry of Scotland
Call nuts, will be named and toasted in the
Big hall fireplaces of many a fine country
House, but the modern maid does not like
To avow her flirtation propensities by openly
Naming the nuts, and for her especial delectation there
Are Halloween nuts this year
In gold and silver that open when a tiny
Spring is pressed, disclosing a trinket case,
In which a bauble of elegant workmanship
Reclines, mayhap a ring, perhaps a thimble
For mademoiselle's embroidery or charity
Sewing.
A sleek pin that has been designed for a
Halloween gift gets its cue from the line of
Burns' Halloween "For the stocks," or rather
From the superstition that the poet there refers to. Pulling the stalk of a Kale plant
Is the first of the old ceremonies of the evening,
And the silversmiths, and goldsmiths
Have made all their tiny stalks straight and fair,
To show that the omen is a good one.
Of candlesticks there is an infinite variety,
With one or two especially made for the eve
Of All Saints mysteries. One that has a
Mischievous sprite for a holder is quaint and
Bound to supply at least one extra face in
The looking glass. Another odd little holder
Is the stem of an apple, the fruit forming
The base.
One of the most elegant gifts for a fair lady
On Halloween will be a triple mirror
With candelabra attachment, a desideratum
Of the dressing room that comes high, but
Is so useful the year round It's one of the
Best of tokens for the season.
Besides the cotillion gifts, there are any
Number of comparatively inexpensive trinkets
That answer for German favors, among
Them being many times "two red chickory apples,"
Made in natural hues of silk and crepe paper,
And also some trick apples that open to disclose bonbons.
The fad of every hostess is to have unique
Favors, and this presupposes a specially designed supply. For a house party in the
Shires there are being made some witch
Caps and brooms, and for the men some
Fantastic "junipers," all of which are to be
Donned just before midnight, in which to
York some spells that are to take place in
A hocus pocus barn on the estate.
In the Halloween supper that is to follow
The place of honor is to be given to a dish
Of "butterscotch tarts," prepared by the Scottish recipe,
Sowens with butter in place of milk, forming the chief article of diet on a properly observed Halloween.
Uniqueness rules. It also costs. The novelties of the season are largely prepared to
Fill private orders, but the dealers report a
Growing demand for trinkets symbolizing special feasts,
And for this general trade that
Has not arrived at the munificence of having
Epochal designs made to their order, nothing
Is in greater demand than the Brownies.
Who in their several shapes upon their several ploughs will go "aftei careerin' fu' blythe that night."

The marriage of Miss Theda Balch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, B. E. Balch, and Mr.
Abraham L. Reed was solemnized Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Very ROY. C. LL.
Gardner, dean of Trinity cathedral, officiating. Like the wedding of Miss Balch and Mr. Coles a fortnight previous, the wedding of Tuesday was a very quiet, but very beautiful ceremony, only the families of the contracting parties being present and a
Mutual friend or two. The bride wore her traveling gown and carried a bouquet of violets. Following the nuptial rites a wedding luncheon was served, Mr. and Mrs.
Reed leaving by the Burlington for Chicago
Cage, New York and the east on a month's
Trip, to be at home in time to eat Thanksgiving turkey at the residence of the bride's parents. These in attendance upon the
Ceremony were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Johnson, Mr, and Mrs. Isaac Coles, Miss Grace
Hiniebaugh, Mr and Mrs. Colgate and Mr.
And Mrs. Heed will reside with Mr. and Mrs.
Balch until the families build homes of their
Own in the west part of the city.

"One is the sale of effect, the other the motive of a sale."
Many words were:
The young friends of Ed Boyer saved him a very pleasant surprise Friday night at his home at Forty-second and Cumming streets. During the evening many enjoyable games were indulged in and the company was favored with solos by Guernsey Anderson and Devore Farmer and a duel by Lester Hutchison and Devore Farmer. Dainty refreshments were served.
The invited guests were Julia Drowsy, Catherine Conerton, Nellie Gregg, Jeannette Miller, May Olbben, Minnie Halmton, Eleanor Southers, May Seaman, Edith Anderson, Rutha Gorne, Helen Spencer, Adele Flynn, Ida Anderson, Minnie Messer, Florence Burroughs, Hattie Mitchell, Annie Hunter, Ethel Spencer, May Smith, Earl Hewey, Lester Hutchison, Devore Farmer, Frank Waring, Harry McCumber, Frank Fitzgerald, Claude Mason, Russell Harris, Ed Burgess, Guernsey Anderson, Charlie Wagner, Will Anderson, Don Seaton.
In the midst of ferns and smilax, white ribbons and delightful gowns, and as the music of Mendelssohn's wedding march, discoursed by an invisible mandolin orchestra, filled the air with joyful strains, Harry Capron Miller and Augusta Marie Hauman plighted their troth Wednesday evening. Rev. A. J. Turkel of the Kountze Memorial church performed the wedding ceremony in the south parlor of the Hauman residence on Sherman avenue. The bride is essentially an Omaha girl, having always lived here, while the groom is an eastern man, only having resided in Nebraska seven years, during which time he has been assistant cashier of the South Omaha National bank.
The eye-pleasing colors, pink and white, were predominant throughout the house, in the decorations and in the costumes of those assisting at the happy event. The bridesmaids, Miss Minnie Hauman, a sister of the bride, and Miss Bailey, were tastefully attired in gowns of pink silk, which formed a beautiful background for the white satin costume of the bride, enhanced by a large bunch of bridal roses. Mr. Harry Wright of Boston was best man and Mr. Otto Hauman groomsman. Two pictures were entertaining: Ethel Klutsch and Lucille Griffith, in pink and white, as ribbon girls, while sweetest of all was Guernsey Klutsch, the ring bearer, a namesake of the bride. A great many handsome presents were received, and the brilliance of the affair was heightened by the hundred or more society people who were present.
The honeymoon trip is to St. Louis, and from there by steamer to Memphis, thence visiting the extreme south, returning to 1607 Sherman avenue, where Mr. and Mrs. Miller will be at home after the 15th of December.
St. Philomena's cathedral was the scene of a pretty wedding Tuesday morning, when Miss Catharine R. McKlroy of this city was united in marriage to Mr. Joseph F. Boss of Drummond, Wis.
The large church was well filled with friends of the young folks. At 3 o'clock promptly the wedding party, preceded by the ushers, Messrs. Clarence V. Faray, A. J. Smith, n. E. MacDonagh and Edward S. Faray, appeared, and advanced at once to the altar rail, where the impressive service of the Catholic church was read by Rev. Father Carroll, pastor of the cathedral, assisted by Father Walsh of St. Peter's church. Miss Bessie McKlroy, sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid, and Miss Agnes, another sister, was the flower girl. All were charming in dainty white gowns. The groom was attended by Mr. Augustus Quoaley. After the wedding ceremony a nuptial high mass was sung by the full cathedral choir, with Father Carroll as celebrant. The church was beautifully decorated with palms and white ribbons. When the church services were ended the wedding party proceeded to the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. McElroy, 612 South Eighteenth street, where a breakfast was found waiting. An informal reception was held by the young couple during the afternoon, many of their friends calling to offer congratulations. The bride's grandmother, Mrs. General O'Brien, and Misses Margaret, Elizabeth and Frances O'Brien, assisted the young folks in entertaining.
In the evening Mr. and Mrs. Boss departed for St. Paul, and, after a short trip in the east, will go to Drummond, where they intend making their future home. Mr. Boss resided in Omaha until about two years ago, when he removed to Drummond to accept a promotion with the company in whose service he was engaged.
This club held its fifth weekly meeting Wednesday evening, being entertained by its chef, Mr. and Mrs. Hendrick having kindly placed their residence at the disposal of Dr. Dickinson. The occasion was unusually agreeable, the club having provided itself with all necessary "accessories" to enable it to successfully carry out its particular object. The menu was more than ordinarily complete, and although the chafing dish occupied the place of honor, other appetizing dishes were provided, the lady members being specially remembered. Mr. R. C. Baughman was enabled to successfully distance all aspiring rivals for the presidency. There being a tie for the vice presidency, Mrs. J. M. Hendrick was unanimously elected. Both officials acknowledged the honors with graceful and appropriate remarks, and the president was decorated with the club's badge. Dr. E. N. Mosser was elected permanent medical adviser and assumed charge of the physical condition of the club. It was decided to have a club emblem consisting of a chafing dish emblematic, a buck rampant and a stomach pump repoussé. After the cloth was removed and the room cleared away, Miss Mary Hartell, having been initiated, gave the most charming and instructive illustrations of Delsarte's divine methods, three members of the club assisting her in pantomime. The sixth meeting will be held Halloween, when an appropriate spread will be had, followed by interesting musical and literary exercises. The propaganda of the club is making its way with rapidity and there are rumors of several rival organizations. In the meantime, it should be kept in mind that there is only one "original and genuine" Golden Buck club in the city.
The Royal Arcanum parties are affairs where everyone has a pleasant time and Tuesday night a high five party was chosen as the means of amusement. As rewards for their cleverness, prizes were presented to Miss Boollng and Mr. A. W. Scibner. Splendid refreshments completed the fullness of pleasure which the following experienced: Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Murray, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Sheldon, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Baughman, Mr. and Mrs. V. B. Bender, Mr. and Mrs. I. O. Rhoades, Mr. and Mrs. C. Vossler, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Kippel, Mr. and Mrs. M. C.

An evening of merriment was spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. U. Watkins, South Omaha, Thursday evening.
The ladies of the P. E. O. club, in their customary style, made welcome their husbands and sweethearts.
It was no shallow attempt at amusement, but a drain upon mind and memory to solve the emblems, suggestive of some geographical name, which each individual wore.
The eye-pleasing colors, pink and white, were predominant throughout the house, in the decorations and in the costumes of those assisting at the happy event.

It was no shallow attempt at amusement, but a drain upon mind and memory to solve the emblems, suggestive of some geographical name, which each individual wore.
A short program was given of a piano solo by Mrs. Willis Plckett, a recitation by Mrs. J. B. Watkins, and a duet by Mrs. F. A. Cressey and Miss Glasgow. Conundrum cards in pairs were then distributed, by which each gentleman found a partner equal to the delicious refreshments which were served to them.

High Scratching Fowler Brewster.

Fowler, for three years secretary of Union Pacific council No. 1069, Royal Arcanum, who leaves for Portage, Wis., this week. The chief speech of the evening was made by I. O. Rhoades, regent, who spoke feelingly of the assistance he had received from the secretary during his term of office and of his splendid personal qualities. Mr. Fowler replied with regret for the severance of pleasant relationships, both fraternally and in a business way. Other speeches were made by J.V. Maynard, Dr. Milroy, T, W. McCullough, K. C.

Partners were chosen by means of little printed slips, bearing different names. At the royal table "Adam and Eve" presided, assisted by "Time and Tide" (who went forth and came in at one's pleasure, but commenced playing when the bell rang). "King and Queen," with their servants "Sambo and Dinah," were at the second table. "Czar and Czarina," with their attendants, occupied the third place, and so on down to the "bobby" table, where "Jack and Jill" went up the hill, endeavoring to get to the first table, followed by "Ruth and Jacob."
Each of the contestants were presented with little bags, into which were deposited beans for each game won, much interest being manifested throughout the entire evening.
Mrs. James W. Bouk won the lady's first prize, Mr. C. Schlerstoln capturing the gentleman's first, while Mrs. Sutton and Mr. V. J. Wells were presented with consolation prizes.
At the conclusion of the series of games of high five other games were played, in which Mrs. C. Schlerstoln and Mr. O. B. Lasbury were the fortunate winners, all the prizes and gifts being very unique and were distributed amid congratulations and merriment.

Cook and Mr. Pickering; a piano solo, "Wedding March," composed and played by Mr. Lansburg. The Mandolin club under the leadership of Prof. Sartoris also rendered several fine numbers.

He said the object of the section would be to popularize some recent poetry, familiarize those who attend with some of the less known but pleasing poets, and learn something of structure in verse.
After giving a short talk on "Rhythm," Mr. Mann occupied the remainder of the evening in reading some delightful selections from the two English poets, William Watson and C. S. Calverly. Next Friday evening, November 2, occurs the first meeting of the economic section of the club.

The art loan shows many beautiful and interesting pictures that one cannot help but visit often. It will remain open to the public only a short time longer, and then the loan exhibition will close, and the pictures be returned to their owners, who have generously permitted them to be exhibited to the public for a few weeks. Mr. Thomas Swoboda loans a number of valuable originals in oils. "Stalls," by Jean Heaudinc, shows a country court in which a brood of chickens, and a dainty family of white, long-eared rabbits are enjoying an afternoon rest. An old broom of faggots lies on the ground, a coat of blue jeans hangs on the end of a beam, and the barn door, with heavy lock and clumsy hinges, complete the details of the backdrop. The hens are alive and some of them are hungry; a splendid cock in shining plumage poses himself in arrogant importance, and his exalted position among his feathered tribe is not doubted. A fine fat white rabbit is curled up into a soft ball of fur and is fast asleep. The picture is charming in its true portrayal of country barnyard life. "Love in the Wine Cellar," by Melsel, represents the interior of a typical German drinking "cave," with its quaint decorations of stag antlers metamorphosed into the form of a woman, large wine casks of Mosel and old Flemish jugs and stone benches. A pretty German girl sits by the big "foss" and is looking with smiling face at the love token just given her, a small golden heart attached to a golden necklace, which she holds admiringly in her hand. Near her, in easy, graceful attitude, sits the gallant knight, the hero of the hour. He has thrown aside his mantle of crimson velvet and his sword and they lie in a picturesque heap just behind him upon a rude wooden bench. His mandolin is posed carelessly against his leg and he leans forward, pipe in hand, to watch more closely the effect produced by his gift. He represents the type which one is accustomed to associate with legends of the Rhine, a troubadour who could do brave deeds and sing of love in the same breath, a character, in fact, without whom German lore would be incomplete. Mrs. A. S. Converse, Proprietor, 109-10 Building, Omaha, will be incomplete. The costuming of the two figures is exquisite, portraying an old German fashion plate of a past and highly artistic epoch. "Woman Putting Children to Bed," by a German artist, is one of those simple stories on anvils which the German artist paints with such true delicacy to domestic influences. Within we see a tiny bedroom, with simple furnishings and scanty decorations. A bed stands under the alcove and upon it is the eiderdown quilt, full and fluffy and soft. A many-lighted dinner across the room touches up the wing of a wicker bird cage, in which a family of singing birds of the Black Forest are enjoying a chorus. A mother, one of those charming peasant costumes, which are seen only too rarely, stands at the side of the bed, and is about to put her little child, with its big blue eyes and flaxen hair, to bed for its afternoon sleep. A second child in a plain German dress puts out her arms to take her little sister for a kiss. A three-legged chair occupies a conspicuous position, and on it rests the bowl and spoon employed in the bath. Set into the wall is one of those tiny closets such as are still to be seen in the humble homes of the peasant today, and a bright green curtain, partially drawn to the side, discloses a big bunch of keys, a bottle and same odds and ends used in needlework. On a shelf above stands a carved clock, presumably from the Black Forest, and we know the cuckoo is a part of it. The picture is full of color and is true to life. It recalls the Munich school of painting, where every detail shown has its use, and no item in the original or part is ever considered too small or too unimportant to be reproduced on the canvas. This school has furnished some of the best artists of the present day.
"Music," by Euphemia, is one of the gems of the exhibition, and the artist has had the somewhat questionable honor of seeing the market flooded with copies and forgeries of the picture. A beautiful young girl is seated in the woods beside a stream. Her shawl, spread out gracefully on the ground, her head is thrown forward just a bit, while she touches the mandolin. On a drooping branch of a rose tree sits a mischievous Cupid, a winged Love, in truth, who accompanies her song on his violin, an instrument almost as big as his own small self. He is such a merry, happy little fellow that merely to look at him puts one in good humor. Then, too, he is essentially a French Cupid, and we know how very vivacious he could and undoubtedly would be if left to his own resources. The tender green of the early foliage, the soft spring effect of the atmosphere, the liquid clearness of the water and the dazzling blue of the sky, just shows behind a sweep of moving gray clouds, term a charming picture. It is a composition full of poetry and nature and would tend brilliance to any gallery. N. W. C. Grain Exchange Building, Indianapolis, Oct. 27.-Judge Brown visited their and lodge, Knights of Pythias, in its mill floor era Keonrers lodge for property. Keoners lodge had been recognized as the supreme lodge, ruled out the German ritual. It surrendered its charter, but held its property. The ruling is in favor of the grand lodge. The case is a test and is regarded as important and will be followed by other cults throughout the United States. An appeal will be taken.
RHEUMATISM
VRIC ACID IN THE BLOOD,
Rheumatism is caused by VRIC Acid in the blood, and is an unfailing indication that the kidneys are performing their functions imperfectly. After the poison has entered the system, the symptoms are aggravated by exposure to cold, improper food, drinking in excess, etc., but the cause remains the same. Imperfect action of the kidneys.
Dr. Humphreys has given the treatment of Rheumatism his professional attention for over sixty years; Dr. HUMPHREYS' SPECIFIC NO 15 is the remedy. It goes directly to the cause, opens the clogged channels, permitting the secretions to pass off; the cure follows rapidly and surely.
No. 15 cures Rheumatism, Acute and Chronic, Lumbago, Sciatica, Solitude, and all forms of Rheumatic Pains, Soreness, Stiffness and Lameness.
John W. Brewer, Philadelphia, says:
"One year ago I commenced to try Humphreys' Specific No. 15 with prejudice against Homeopathy. I had Rheumatism and Liver Trouble. I was astonished at the results; It worked faster than any medicine I ever took. While I was taking the Specific for Rheumatism I was in the snow up to my knees for three days, but I felt well."
J. B. Parrher, Adams Express company agent, Covington, Ky., writes: "I had a very bad case of Sciatica Rheumatism, and cured it in the use of three bottles of Humphreys Specific No. 15."
Thornan Dickens, Sweet Springs, Mo., writes: "Unclosed line $1 for five bodies of Humphreys' Specific No. 15, for Rheumatism cured me four years ago and is superior to anything else I have ever tried."

PARIS , Oct. 27. ( New York World Cable-

scandal ot Its own this week , which has
caused as great a sensation here as the
Lexow Investigations In New York. M.
Fldeo Is the chief of the department of
police which has the anarchists to watch.
M. do Sanglea former custom house officer ,
was In prison under sentence df defrauding
the government of $60,000. M. FJdee took
him out to dine , and somehow he escaped.
M. Fldeo protests that ho was unearthing a
big anarchist plot , and that do Sanglo waste
to help htm In the work , but the excuse Is
not accepted , and further revelations ot pollco
corruption are promised , 'particularly In re
spect to the relations of private gambling
houses with the police.

the dramatist says that when contemplating

CHICAGO , Oct. 27. The twelfth banquet
of the Commercial club , which Includes the
leading , business men of Chicago , was held
tonight at tlio Grand Pacific hotel , The
occasion was marked by the discussions of
financial problems and suggestions for the
soluljon l of the currency question by some oC
the most eminent financiers and political
economists in the country. Arguments were
mrulo on llio silver question , the defects ot
the currency were pointed out and sugges
tions made for their practical relief , William
T. Baker , president of the- club , presided , and
In a neat speech Introduced 1'rof. J. L.
Laughlln , of the Chicago university , who
spoke at considerable length on the- character
of the American currency. Prof. Laughlln's
speech was received with great applause.
Following Prof. Lauglilln came Lyman J. Gage
president of the First National bank of Chicago
cage , whose- address was on the American
monetary system. Mr. Gage's speech was
greeted with round after round of applause.
Ho spoke as follows :
In speaking upon the subject of our money
Hycitetn one must be aware that In what
ever he may any he will excite the hostile
criticism and draw forth bitter Invective
from < some one or more of the various fac
tions who are seeking to establish on new
and experimental foundations our much-dls-
ttirhe < l llnancl.il structure.
Through our heterogeneous system the pub-
lie mind has seemingly lost the power to
discriminate between real things and the
shadows or slsns at things , It Is necessary
thnt disguises be pulled aside and that real
facts appear.
There Is. In truth , only one real money
viz : : Metallic coin. It may be composed of
p-old or silver. It might be of something else ,
but It Is not Greenbacks , treasury notes
and natlonnl bank notes are but promises
tonn pay. In the nature of things they cnti be
nothing' more. They pass ns money , thej
perform the functions of money , often more
conveniently than money itself. Because of
this confusion comes nml we are led nstruy
Seeing that the greenback Is uttered by the
government , that it has by the legnl tender
quality Imparted to it the power to pay
debts , and that It circulates with all the
power of money , discrimination censes we
call It mosey nnd the idea that govern
ment cnn create money by its sanction or
flat becomes rooted In the mind. The dis
tinctions Just pointed out are , liowover ,
fundamental distinctions. They should be
taught In thepchouls. . They are dimple ,
easy to be understood , even by a ulilld.
We admit that on mrtny occasions paper
money , whether greenbacks , treasury notes
or national bank notes , is more to be desired
than gold. Tot , more to be desired than
cither , ns proven by the dally conduct of
man , Is a credit balance in a solvent bank.
For , to secure this better form of good ,
people voluntarily give to the banker theae
promises to pay , yea , even gold itself , for
a credit to an erjual sum upon his books.
With an entry -upon their passbook as evi
dence of transaction , they claim to have
"money In the bank , " In popular language
guage- , the claim Is well enough , but cor
rectly speaking- Is positively untrue. They
have partwl tvlth their money , If money
they had ; It belongs to the banker ; it Is no
longer theirs.
The consideration they have received Is
an. agreement from the banker to meet
their requisitions upon , him from time to
time. If the banker is faithful to his ob
ligations they have made no bail bargain ,
for all these things , greenbacks , treasury
nates , natlonnl bank notes , and ( to Xiso the
popular language ) money In bank , are in
their nature nnd essence one viz. : they nre
forms of credit. Their value , ench and all
alike , lies In. the- ability of the owner to
convert them at last into the only real
form of money now extant metallic coin.
And , to push the question a little further ,
the only value of the metallic coin lies , not
In the coin ns a coin , but In the power of
the metal the coin contains to exchange for
other tilings.
It should here be noted that while our
silver dollar Is renl money. Its power to ex
change for other things li more than dou
bled by another and artlllclal value impart
ed to It through the law , -which gives tit
power equal to the dollar In gold to pay
customs dues. Having nn equal value Inn
this direction , and the quantity being lim
ited , It has equal value in all directions , nut
the difference between the metallic * value of
the sliver dollar nnd this arbitrary value
lies In the realm of credit. What I have
so far said lies at the foundation oC the
subject and must first be understood.
MEDIUMS OF EXCHANGE AND THEIR
US US.
We have now current In the United States
available In lhe < purchase and sale of com
modities * , and for the payment of labor
services , the following agencies :
First ( laid coin , silver coin real money.
Next Greenbacks , treasury notes , national >
bank notes nml bank checks. The last four
to be classlliect together as forms of credit.
Their respective legnl relationships to real
money , however , are not alike. The national
bank note ami the bank check may both beer
satisfied by the tender of greenbacks ore
treasury notes , while the Inat two are re
deemed only In coin , or in payment of pub
lic dues. ibel
In passing It may be well to note the rel
ative use of these various agencies In the
practical opratlons of commerce and trade.
No better place to determine this cnn IP.be
found than the counter of a bank , and the
following statement of the a mount of each
received by a. bank In this city on a recent
day will Indicate their relative Importance
In that direction :
Oold coin | O.SS.'i
Silver coin , 15,83 !
Oold certificates 1,015
Silver certificates 9S.I29
Legal tender notes and greenbacks. . . . 82,172
Treasury notes 25.40G
National bank notes 34,2(13 (
Total cash t2G3.81fl
Checks , drafts , bills of exchange t5,39S,91i !
Percentage ! of cash to total credits , S per
cent.
Having1 summarized the various forms of
credit obligations operating as currency , let
us look a little at the principle on which
they are res-pectivcly bused.
The power to redeem greenbacks , $346,000-
000 In quantity , rests-
First Upon ttO , x > ,000 of gold or there
abouts In the treasury vaults.
Second Ui on the iiblllty and readiness of
the government to borrow money as the oc-
casion may require. ocnt <
Third Upon the power of the government
to collect money by taxation.
The treasury notes rest , first , upon the
promise of the government , supported by a
quantity of silver , part coined , part bullion ,
purchased since 1890 , In payment for -which
these notes -were Issued. It la to be noted
that the market valueof the sliver sour
bought Is same 150,000.000 less than the pur
chase cost , nnd for this difference the power
of the government to borrow or tax must
be relied on.
The national bank note rests-
First Upon the financial responsibility of
the bank issuing It.
Second Upon the security fit the United
States bonds with the Treasury department
10 per cent In excexs of the face of all notes
Issued.
Third Upon the government guaranty.
This as to the relative merit of each In
point of responsibility.
Next , let us look at the plan , method and
reason of putting- these various forms of
credit Into circulation.
The greenback was Issued to pay debts ,
not to acquire- value , or , If value was re
ceived , such value was either consumed or
converted Into value not available In the
market. The greenback paid soldiers anil
government employes : It bought powder and
munitions of war. The existence of the
greenback la the evidence of a debt not
paid. It Is n Hen upon the future.
A national bank note , on the contrary. Is
the evidence of some- existing value which
Ilca somewhere aa collateral for Its redemp
tion. To transfer auch values Is the only
ordinary and proper occasion which calls
for their Issue. The volume In which they
appear marks the rise In prices or an In
creasing quantity of existing things. Like
the bank check , they -will be In active serv
ice when trade and commerce are active.
Thus they enjoy the principle of elasticity
wholly lackingIn. . any possible form of di
rect government issue. The method of their
retirement Is wholly different nnd subjects
the trade und commerce of the country to
less dangerous strain.
EFFECT OF GOLD EXPORTS.
To Illustrate : We have lately witnessed a
movement of fold to the other side of the
Atlantic. We need not now Inquire the
cause of that movement. When it began
the treasury was possessed of moro than
1100,000.000 of gold. To meet the lent
those concerned found the easiest s In
presenting1 greenbacks Ami treasury notes
for redemption. In the- course of this busi
ness JM.lWO.OCXl In bonds -were Bold by the
Treasury ilepartment. but notwithstanding
tlili adult Ion la Its gold stock It * sup-1" of
pold was reduced to the danger hit r of i
$50.000.000 before the movement censed.
Now , it Is lo be specially noticed that the
transfer of th ? tint &MXXUXW had no direct
bearing upon trade 'of ' commerce whatever. .
The reserve stock , of gold waa dead and
llfeleis In the treasury while there. Its rc-
movnl out of the cpuntry wa * In Itself quite
Imrmles' . Hut It n > l another nn appalling
effect It raised doubts and excited fears
ns to the nblllty-oC the government to
continue the redemption of Its Issues. The
substantial refusal by congress to clothe
the secretary with the necessary discretion
ary power to borrow money intensllled the
fear nt home , excited Injurious sus
picions abroad , , nnd further stimu
lated the adverse comment. With
the peculiar luck' which has fa Ions
attended the AtnertcNn people , the move
ment ceased In tlma to avoid n. great calam
ity. We cannot , .however , count upot Im
munity from a repetition of the same move
ment , possibly more violent in form , more
destructive In cffccti '
Observe now the difference In effect of nn
outward movement of coin did the paper
currency consist wholly of bank Issues. To
obtain the coin for such a movement bank
notes would be presented for redemption ,
ns the greenbacks have been. If the coin
demand proved continuous the banks would
recoup themselves by calling in maturing
loans. In short , a contraction In general
credits would occur. Under Its Influence
prices would fall off until the foreign credit
ors would flnd It more advantageous to take
commodities than to take coin. Thus the
movement would tend to bo self-curative.
The strain of this process would , under or
dinary conditions , be light , because It would
be spread over the country wherever banks
of Issueexisted. .
Until now I have not refercrd to silver cer-
tlllcatea , which form nearly ono-ilftli of the
circulating medium of exchange In the
United States , nor Is It necessary to nay
much. Hy their use a dangerous volume of
Inferior money has found an abnormal use.
Thev nre the most perplexing- feature In the
much-Involved problem of our natlonnl
finances.
There Is no reason why the government
should act ns warehousemen for either gold
or silver. Such n. function Is outsldo Its
proper limit of action. Hut we are faced by
the condition , and It Is the "bete nolr" of
the treasury. The enormous amount of
SMaOOO.OOO of silver , represented by 133S.OOO-
00) in silver certificatendded to the JI50-
000.000 purchased by the government under
the Sherman act , constitutes a standing
menace to every business Interest.
Our whole monetary system Is the result
ant of makeshift legislation and unscientific
compromises. It Is time thnt reform began.
I do not assume to offer here final remedies ,
In my own opinion the greenbacks should
be permanently retired. The silver pur
chased under the Sherman act shculd be
gradually sold and the treasury notes re
'
deemed'and canceled. Some well guarded
system of bank not ! < I cula ton. b-oader and
more elastic than the present national bank
act provides , should be Inaugurated. Such
bunk notrs should be redeemable at a central
place and be redeemable in ir Id onlv.
DRPKCTS OP THE IMIKSKNT SYSTEM.
To sum up , the defects of our present cur
rency system nre : (1) ( ) A confusing hetero
geneity which needs simplification , (2) the
greenback controverts the pilnclple of paper
money viz. : thnt every note Injected Into
the commercial system should represent an
existing comemrcl.il value ; (3) ( ) the treasury
note Is a standing evidence of a foolish op
eration , the creation ot a debt for the pur
chase on a falling market of a commodity
for which the purchaser has no use ; It lies
open to the Just charge of being both Idiotic
nnd Immoral ; (4) ( ) the national bank note
nearly conforms to the true principle of
paper maneJy , but the unreasonable require
ment for security paralyzes Its eillclenry
and operates to destroy Its elasticity ; (5) ( )
the silver certificate encourages the use of
silver tea larger extent than consists with
the safe preservation of that metal on a
parity with gold.
Would a national commission help lo pro
mote reform ? There Is reason to hope that
II would be of great service In that direc
tion. Such n commission. If rightly selected ,
would throw a Hood of light upon these In
volved questions. The information It might
gather would beef Immense value to all
our people , and jvould guide us to wise
legislation ,
Emotion and sentiment are not safe guides
In matters of science. A clear apprehension
of true principles will Ipad to correct action.
After Mr. Gage resumed his speech , Presi
dent linker , In a happy little speech , called
upon A. P. Hepburn , ex-comptroller of the
United States , andrnow.tho . president of the
Third National bank ofNew York , who took
for his subject the , necessity for n new cur
rency law. In thq qourso ot his speech
Mr. Hepburn took exception to the plan of
placing the railroads and the telegraph sys
tems of the country under governmental
control. He betlfved the majority of the
people would object to having several hun
'
dreds of thousands' put on the pay rolls of
the government , and did not think that In
creased efficiency bf the service would fol
low an ownership vested In the government.
Ho declared emphatically against free coinage
and paid his respects to "wild cat" currency
In a most vigorous manner. He urged upon
tlio business men of the country that they
do not leave the subject of the currency and
the financial situation of the country to the
politician and demagogue , but take hold of
It themselves In such a manner that the
country will be certain of such an outcome as
the conditions demand.
SOUNDNESS .THE FHIST REQUISITE.
After" Mr. Hepburn came Hon. J. II. Eck-
els , comptroller of the currency , who spoke
on "The National Currency. " Mr. Eckels
said that ha had not prepared a speech and
would content himself with a few extempo
raneous suggestions as to what might be
accomplished In a political way. Our cur
rency system as It now exists Is sadly de
ficient. There has not been Introduced In
cither house of congress within the memory
of most of those present at this meeting ,
said the comptroller , a single law upon the
currency but that has had for Its sole aim
and deslro the creation of a largo volume of
currency. Guided by this and lis
tening to the advocates of such
a policy. we find the people
losing sight of the fact that the volume of
the currency Is of the least importance , but
that -which makes for the public good In the
currency of the country Is the soundness
thereof. A large volume of currency lacking
In soundness ia always a source ot public
evil. This club , said Mr. Eckels cannot un
dertake a better work than to educate the
people by spoken -word or written documents
with all the resources at their command
In sound monetary principles.
At the conclusion of Mr. Eckels' remarks
a resolution wa3 unanimously adopted favorIng -
Ing the creation of a national committee ,
neutral In politics , to thoroughly study the
present monetary system of the country
with a view to Its simplification and Im
provement. It was nearly midnight when
the meeting adjourned.

all acquitted themselves well. There was a
slight lack of unity between the violin am

numbers. The feature of the program , however -

Frank Rawlings Under Arrest
Forceful entry into a note to him
Storment adding that no deal is reached
He entered in a pending case.
LINCOLN, Oct 27. (Special.) Frank
a wealthy liveryman, was arrested
This afternoon on a bench warrant from Judge
Stall's court, charging him with contempt of
court in that he did willfully attempt to
obstruct and impede the administration of
justice by attempting to "corruptly influence
one of the jurors in the case of Lula Leavitte
to change his verdict, Frank Rawlings, by writing the
following note to him:
"Hoye, hang this jury. Don't give them
a sentence you think they deserve. See that it is Black Mailing
so Don't give them a sentence for damage.
Smoke on me. A FOUND."
The county attorney declined to state just
what evidence was in his possession, or if
they had secured a clue to the identity of
the party who delivered the note at Juror
Stewart's house. He stated, however, that
there was little doubt but that the note was
In Rawling's handwriting.
This is the case where a sensation was
created the other day by Juror Hey L.
Stewart rising in court and giving to the
judge the note quoted above.
Hawling's was arrested at 3:45 by Deputy
Sheriff Hoxie while he was out riding, and
taken before Judge Hall. He pleaded not
guilty to the information, and was released
on his own recognizance in the sum of $500
to appear for trial Monday, November 5.
Governor Walton of Colorado passed through
the city at 2:10 p.m., today on route to Chicago. His coming had reached the ears of
some of the populists early in the day, and
when the train stopped at the depot
there were some 500 people on the
platform. As soon as the train
came to a stop, J. C. McNerney and J.
M., Thompson, chairman and secretary of the
populist county central committee, stepped
Aboard, sought out Governor Walton. Told him
that there was a large crowd outside awaiting his appearance, and asked him to come out.
He did so. Taking a position in the
cast door of the depot, where the brisk wind
could not get at his whiskers, he
talked to the crowd for about 10 minutes, or
until the conductor shouted his warning to
get aboard. As he stepped back upon the
train the crowd gave three cheers for him
as a personal compliment, and the train
pulled out amidst a manifestation of populist
enthusiasm. The governor confined
his remarks to the silver question, but said
that out in Colorado this year the people are
going to demonstrate their faith in the ability
of the common people to take efficient charge
of the affairs of state.
Princeton Fire.
CENTRAL CITY, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special
Telegram.) A prairie fire, started by a Union
Pacific engine this afternoon, burned the
buildings, hay, etc., of John Merrill. A gale
of wind was blowing at the time.
DUNBAR, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.)
Tonight a fire, the cause of which is unknown,
burned H. C. Jeffers' elevator, containing
1,500 bushels of wheat. The grain and elevator were partly covered by insurance.
Fairbury reports it as having been burned.
FAIRBURY, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.)
The old depot building - the St.
Joe & Grand Island, lately used for oil storage,
caught fire today from sparks from an
operating engine and was entirely consumed.
The wind was blowing a gale from the south,
and it was only by good work on the part of
the fire department that the fire was kept
from spreading through a thickly settled part
of the city.
Johnson County Educators Meet.
TECUMSEH, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special.)
The Johnson County Teachers' association
held its first annual session in this city yesterday and today. A good program was carried out and able addresses made. Prof.
H. R. Corbett of York last evening delivered
a lecture on the "Professional Teacher" before
the teachers.
York has lost A. S. Marian.
YORK, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.)
A. S. Marian, of the firm of Harsell & Harlan,
attorneys, died at this place tonight of typhoid fever,
after an illness of seven weeks. He has been
unconscious for several days. His death was not unexpected.
He received a message yesterday announcing
the death of his mother, who also died of
typhoid.
Secretary Smith's Annual Report on New Mexico.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. Governor W. T.
Thornton of New Mexico has made his annual
report to Secretary Smith of the Interior department.
Of the general conditions he says: "Irrigation enterprises begun
within the last two or three years have
succeeded admirably, bringing under cultivation
large areas of desert land. In more
than half the counties of the territory enterprises of importance
have been begun which will add largely in the near future to the
productiveness and prosperity of our people.
The total assessed valuation of the territory is $43,430,2; the bonded debt,
$25,000,000, and floating debt, $21,891. There
has been considerable railroad building; stock
raising has been prosperous and shows a
great increase. Mining interests have suffered from the depreciation in the price of
silver and lead. Without irrigation agriculture may be said to be a failure in New
Mexico, says the governor, and all scientific
interests are making use of irrigation. The
population of the territory has increased
about 2,000 during the year.
Speaker Foley's Remarks.
CHICAGO, Oct. 27. Charles Powell, who
was seriously injured by a bullet which his
sister, Mrs. Nellie Sweetman, was charged
with having fired, died at 1 o'clock this
morning at the county hospital. The shooting occurred at the home of Mrs. Sweetman,
after the latter had come in from a drive with a
friend, who it is claimed had for some time been paying special attention
to her. Mrs. Sweetman, it is alleged, met
her brother and exchanged hot words with
him, immediately after which the shot was
fired which resulted in Powell's death. The
nister denies the charge, alleging that the
brother fired the fatal shot with his own hand.
Appearances, the police claim, would indicate that
this is not true, as the wound was not powder burned.
Mrs. Sweetman was placed under arrest at
the time.
Rescue of the Miners.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 27. A special to the
Wisconsin from Iron Mountain says the work
of rescuing the imprisoned miners at the
Payable was accomplished between 6 and 7
o'clock this morning and they were hoisted
to the surface as sound and healthy
without a mark. There is great rejoicing in the
community.
There were practically no sensational incidents in
connection with the imprisonment
and rescue of the miners. The men were
imprisoned for over forty hours, but at no
time did they consider themselves in danger
or despair of rescue. The men were plentifully
supplied with water and the air was pure,
and beyond missing a few meals they suffered no inconvenience.
The Rochester Glass Works has resumed work,
it is in its green and lumber bottle factories,
giving employment to a large number of men and boys.
General Sherman's Staff.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 27. General Amos Beck,
who was chief of the commissary department of Central W. T Sherman's army

this morning, aged about 81. He was on the
retired list of the army.

BALLARD SMITH.
PARISOMENT NOT AMERICAN PUNCH.
ONE of the Cliffs is Not Taken Indulged Up in an
ordinary ignition.
< < <English by From Publishing Company. > > >
PARIS, Oct. 27. (New York World Cable-Special Telegram.) This
capital has a police scandal of its own this week, which has
caused as great a sensation here as the Lexow Investigations in New York. M.
Fidele is the chief of the department of
police which has the anarchists to watch. M. de Sangle, former custom house officer,
was in prison under sentence for defrauding
the government of $60,000. M. Fidele took him out to dine, and somehow he escaped.
M. Fidele protests that he was unearthing a
big anarchist plot, and that de Sangle wanted
to help him in the work, but the excuse is
not accepted, and further revelations of police
corruption are promised, particularly in respect to the relations of private gambling
houses with the police.
Notwithstanding the political tensions between France and Russia no trace of anxiety
over the czar's illness is observable on the
boulevards, further than a lavish display in the shop windows of the portraits of the
czar, the czarevitch and Princess Alix. But
all Paris is animated in interest in Sardou's
new play, "Glamond," with Sarah Bernhardt in the leading part. In an interview
the dramatist says that when contemplating
a new play he takes an envelope and inserts
everything which occurs to him as likely to
be of use for it. "Glamond" has taken
several years of such preparation. The
scene is laid in Athens in the Florentine
period. The scenery will be magnificent.
In politics the decadence of President
Perier's popularity is the most significant
incident. Almost the whole press seems to
be in a conspiracy to abuse him. About
the only vote raised in his behalf is that of
Glowitz, through the London Times, which
gives its correspondent's letter the prominence of large type and special position. The
principal fault found is that the president
is cold and loves display. He is severely
blamed, for driving in a state carriage with
three
a military escort to the races. Rochefort
writes from his London exile: "I have been
accused of comparing Casimir-Perier to the
commander of a band of convicts. I recant.
It is
He is simply the drill sergeant. " That is
a sample of the tone of all that class of
French papers toward the president.
The marriage of Miss Whitlinger of Boston

CHINKS IS DEFEATED AGAIN.
suncio Win a Hermit! Battle on the West
Hunker the Valley river.
YOKOHAMA, Oct. 27. The Japanese have
gained a decisive victory at Kuren over 17,000
Chinese. The enemy fled toward Antung.
The Japanese captured a quantity of provisions. The Chinese lost 200 killed and a
number wounded and many prisoners were
taken.
Dispatches received here confirm the reports of the battle between the Chinese and
Japanese forces after the latter had crossed
HID Yalu river. It is added that the whole
of the Japanese army afterward advanced :
northward, and that Kuren, which was held
by a large force of Chinese, was attacked on
all sides. The Chinese made a desperate defense and the fighting was very severe.
Another dispatch repeats the assertion frequently made that the second Japanese army
has landed on the east coast of the peninsula
of King-Chow, upon which Port Arthur is situated,
The Japanese army, according to these
dispatches, now occupies the neck of the
peninsula, thus cutting off communication between the port and arsenal and the main land.
LONDON, Oct. 27. The correspondent of
The Pall Mall Gazette at Chefoo cables that
the fleets of China and Japan are now off the
port and that a battle is expected shortly.
It is decidedly announced today that China
is negotiating in London for a loan of 1000-
000. It will be a 7 percent silver loan and
the issue price is expected to be 9 $ . This
loan will be secured on the revenue of the
treaty ports.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. United States
Minister Denby, from Peking, China, today
cabled to the State department as follows :
"Japanese troops entered Manchuria." This
is the first official advice that the State department has had that any Japanese troops
have set foot on Chinese soil, and it is supposed to refer to the fight on the Yalu and
the crossing of the river by the Japanese, reported in yesterday's dispatches.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. The Japanese legation
today received an official cable from
the home government : "Advance column of our
first army began to cross Yalu October 8 and
next day, after fighting three days, won
a signal victory at Shengyang, near Kin-Ling-
Chong, the opposing army, consisting of
3,500, being utterly routed and scattered.

TALKS ABOUT THE CURRENCY
Lyman J. Gage Makes an Exhaustive Address Before Chicago Commercial Club.
DEFECTS IN THE PRESIDENT SYSTEM
Too Many of Circulating Metal- Renouncement recommended. Enlisting to Report Memoranda to
Simplify the System.
CHICAGO, Oct. 27. The twelfth banquet
of the Commercial club, which includes the
leading business men of Chicago, was held
tonight at the Grand Pacific hotel. The
occasion was marked by the discussions of
financial problems and suggestions for the
solution of the currency question by some of
the most eminent financiers and political
economists in the country. Arguments were
made on the silver question, the defects of
the currency were pointed out and suggestions
made for their practical relief, William T.
Baker, president of the club, presided, and
in a neat speech introduced Prof. J. L.
Laughlin, of the Chicago university, who
spoke at considerable length on the character
of the American currency. Prof. Laughlin's
speech was received with great applause.
Following Prof. Lauglin came Lyman J. Gage, president of the First National Bank of Chicago, whose address was on the American monetary system. Mr. Gage's speech was greeted with round after round of applause. He spoke as follows:
In speaking upon the subject of our money, one must be aware that in whatever he may say, he will excite the hostile criticism and draw forth bitter invective from some one or more of the various factions who are seeking to establish on new and experimental foundations our much-disturbed financial structure.
Through our heterogeneous system, the public mind has seemingly lost the power to discriminate between real things and the shadows or sins at things. It is necessary that disguises be pulled aside and that real facts appear.
There is, in truth, only one real money, viz.: Metallic coin. It may be composed of gold or silver. It might be of something else, but it is not Greenbacks, treasury notes and national bank notes are but promises to pay. In the nature of things, they cannot be nothing more. They pass as money, they perform the functions of money, often more conveniently than money itself. Because of this confusion, comes and we are led astray.
Seeing that the greenback is uttered by the government, that it has by the legal tender quality imparted to it the power to pay debts, and that it circulates with all the power of money, discrimination ceases and we call it money and the idea that government can create money by its sanction or fiat becomes rooted in the mind. The distinctions just pointed out are, however, fundamental distinctions. They should be taught in the schools. They are simple, easy to be understood, even by a child.
We admit that on many occasions paper money, whether greenbacks, treasury notes or national bank notes, is more to be desired than gold. To, more to be desired than either, as proven by the daily conduct of man, is a credit balance in a solvent bank.
For, to secure this better form of good, people voluntarily give to the banker these promises to pay, yes, even gold itself, for a credit to an equal sum upon his books. With an entry upon their passbook as evidence of transaction, they claim to have "money in the bank," in popular language, the claim is well enough, but correctly speaking is positively untrue. They have parted with their money, if money they had; it belongs to the banker; it is no longer theirs.
The consideration they have received is an agreement from the banker to meet their requisitions upon him from time to time. If the banker is faithful to his obligations, they have made no bad bargain, for all these things, greenbacks, treasury notes, national bank notes, and (to use the popular language) money in bank, are in their nature and essence one, viz.: they are forms of credit. Their value, each and all alike, lies in their ability to convert them at last into the only real form of money now extant, metallic coin.
And, to push the question a little further, the only value of the metallic coin lies, not in the coin as a coin, but in the power of the metal the coin contains to exchange for other things.
It should here be noted that while our silver dollar is real money, its power to exchange for other things is more than doubled by another and artificial value imparted to it through the law, which gives it the power equal to the dollar in gold to pay customs dues. Having an equal value in this direction, and the quantity being limited, it has equal value in all directions, but the difference between the metallic value of the silver dollar and this arbitrary value lies in the realm of credit. What I have so far said lies at the foundation of the subject and must first be understood.
MEDIUMS OF EXCHANGE AND THEIR USES.
We have now current in the United States available in the purchase and sale of commodities, and for the payment of labor services, the following agencies:
First, laid coin, silver coin real money. Next Greenbacks, treasury notes, national bank notes and bank checks. The last four to be classified together as forms of credit. Their respective legal relationships to real money, however, are not alike. The national bank note and the bank check may both be satisfied by the tender of greenbacks or treasury notes, while the two latter are redeemed only in coin, or in payment of public dues.
In passing, it may be well to note the relative use of these various agencies in the practical operations of commerce and trade. No better place to determine this can be found than the counter of a bank, and the following statement of the amount of each received by a bank in this city on a recent day will indicate their relative importance in that direction:
Gold coin $15,851 Silver coin, 15,831 Gold certificates 1,015 Silver certificates 9,829 Legal tender notes and greenbacks 82,172 Treasury notes 25,406 National bank notes 34,213 Total cash $226,831 Checks, drafts, bills of exchange $5,398,911 Percentage of cash to total credits, 5 percent.
Having summarized the various forms of credit obligations operating as currency, let us look a little at the principle on which they are respectively based.
The power to redeem greenbacks, $346,000,000 in quantity, rests:
First, Upon the 30,000,000 of gold or thereabouts in the treasury vaults.
Second, Upon the ability and readiness of the government to borrow money as the occasion may require.
Third, Upon the power of the government to collect money by taxation.
The treasury notes rest, first, upon the promise of the government, supported by a quantity of silver, part coined, part bullion, purchased since 1890, in payment for which these notes were Issued. It is to be noted that the market value of the silver purchased is $150,000,000 less than the purchase cost, and for this difference the power of the government to borrow or tax must be relied on.
The national bank note rests:
First, Upon the financial responsibility of the bank issuing it.
Second, Upon the security of United States bonds with the Treasury department at 10 percent in excess of the face of all notes issued.
Third, Upon the government guarantee.
This as to the relative merit of each in point of responsibility.
Next, let us look at the plan, method and reason of putting these various forms of credit into circulation.
The greenback was Issued to pay debts, not to acquire value, or, if value was received, such value was either consumed or converted into value not available in the market. The greenback paid soldiers and government employees; it bought powder and munitions of war. The existence of the greenback is the evidence of a debt not paid. It is a lien upon the future.
A national bank note, on the contrary, is the evidence of some existing value which lies somewhere as collateral for its redemption. To transfer such values is the only ordinary and proper occasion which calls for their Issue. The volume in which they appear marks the rise in prices or an increasing quantity of existing things. Like the bank check, they will be in active service when trade and commerce are active. Thus they enjoy the principle of elasticity wholly lacking in any possible form of direct government issue. The method of their retirement is wholly different and subjects the trade and commerce of the country to less dangerous strain.
EFFECT OF GOLD EXPORTS.
To Illustrate: We have lately witnessed a movement from one side of the Atlantic to the other. We need not now inquire the cause of that movement. When it began, the treasury was possessed of more than $1,000,000,000 of gold. To meet this demand, those concerned found the easiest solution in presenting greenbacks and treasury notes for redemption. In the course of this business, $1,800,000 in bonds were sold by the Treasury Department. But notwithstanding this acquisition, its gold stock was reduced to the dangerous point of $50,000,000 before the movement ceased. Now, it is to be specially noticed that the transfer of this gold had no direct bearing upon trade or commerce whatever. The reserve stock of gold was dead and lifeless in the treasury while there. Its removal out of the country was in itself quite insignificant. But it had another, an appalling effect: It raised doubts and excited fears as to the ability of the government to continue the redemption of its issues. The substantial refusal by Congress to clothe the secretary with the necessary discretionary power to borrow money intensified the fear at home, excited injurious suspicions abroad, and further stimulated the adverse comment. With the peculiar luck which has fallen upon the American people, the movement ceased in time to avoid a great calamity. We cannot, however, count upon immunity from a repetition of the same movement, possibly more violent in form, more destructive in effect.
Observe now the difference in effect of an outward movement of coin did the paper currency consist wholly of bank issues. To obtain the coin for such a movement, bank notes would be presented for redemption, as the greenbacks have been. If the coin demand proved continuous, the banks would recoup themselves by calling in maturing loans. In short, a contraction in general credits would occur. Under its influence, prices would fall off until the foreign creditors would find it more advantageous to take commodities than to take coin. Thus the movement would tend to be self-curative. The strain of this process would, under ordinary conditions, be light, because it would be spread over the country wherever banks of issue existed.
Until now, I have not referred to silver certificates, which form nearly one-half of the circulating medium of exchange in the United States, nor is it necessary to say much. By their use, a dangerous volume of inferior money has found an abnormal use. They are the most perplexing feature in the much-involved problem of our national finances.
There is no reason why the government should act as warehousemen for either gold or silver. Such a function is outside its proper limit of action. But we are faced by the condition, and it is the "bête noir" of the treasury. The enormous amount of $5,800,000,000 of silver, represented by 135,000,000 in silver certificates, tendered to the $150,000,000 purchased by the government under the Sherman act, constitutes a standing menace to every business interest.
Our whole monetary system is the result of makeshift legislation and unscientific compromises. It is time that reform began.
I do not assume to offer here final remedies, in my own opinion the greenbacks should be permanently retired. The silver purchased under the Sherman act should be gradually sold and the treasury notes redeemed and canceled. Some well-guarded system of bank notes, broader and more elastic than the present national bank act provides, should be inaugurated. Such bank notes should be redeemable at a central place and be redeemable in gold only.
SUMMARY OF THE IMPERFECT SYSTEM.
To sum up, the defects of our present currency system are: (1) A confusing heterogeneity which needs simplification, (2) the greenback controverts the principle of paper money viz.: that every note injected into the commercial system should represent an existing commercial value; (3) the treasury note is a standing evidence of a foolish operation, the creation of a debt for the purchase on a falling market of a commodity for which the purchaser has no use; It lies open to the just charge of being both idiotic and immoral; (4) the national bank note nearly conforms to the true principle of paper money, but the unreasonable requirement for security paralyzes its efficiency and operates to destroy its elasticity; (5) the silver certificate encourages the use of silver to a larger extent than consists with the safe preservation of that metal on a parity with gold.
Would a national commission help to promote reform? There is reason to hope that it would be of great service in that direction. Such a commission, if rightly selected, would throw a flood of light upon these involved questions. The information it might gather would be of immense value to all our people, and would guide us to wise legislation.
Emotion and sentiment are not safe guides in matters of science. A clear apprehension of true principles will lead to correct action.
After Mr. Gage resumed his speech, President McKinley, in a happy little speech, called upon A.P. Hepburn, ex-comptroller of the United States, and now the president of the Third National Bank of New York, who took for his subject the necessity for a new currency law. In the course of his speech, Mr. Hepburn took exception to the plan of placing the railroads and the telegraph systems of the country under governmental control. He believed the majority of the people would object to having several hundreds of thousands put on the payrolls of the government, and did not think that increased efficiency of the service would follow an ownership vested in the government. He declared emphatically against free coinage and paid his respects to "wildcat" currency in a most vigorous manner. He urged upon the business men of the country that they do not leave the subject of the currency and the financial situation of the country to the politician and demagogue, but take hold of it themselves in such a manner that the country will be certain of such an outcome as the conditions demand.
SOUNDNESS IS THE FIRST REQUISITE.
After Mr. Hepburn came Hon. J.H. Eckels, comptroller of the currency, who spoke on "The National Currency." Mr. Eckels said that he had not prepared a speech and would content himself with a few extemporaneous suggestions as to what might be accomplished in a political way. Our currency system as it now exists is sadly deficient. There has not been introduced into either house of Congress within the memory of most of those present at this meeting, a single law upon the currency but that has had for its sole aim and desire the creation of a large volume of currency. Guided by this and listening to the advocates of such a policy, we find the people losing sight of the fact that the volume of the currency is of the least importance, but that which makes for the public good in the currency of the country is the soundness thereof. A large volume of currency lacking in soundness is always a source of public evil. This club, said Mr. Eckels, cannot undertake a better work than to educate the people by spoken word or written documents with all the resources at their command in sound monetary principles.
At the conclusion of Mr. Eckels' remarks, a resolution was unanimously adopted favoring the creation of a national committee, neutral in politics, to thoroughly study the present monetary system of the country with a view to its simplification and improvement. It was nearly midnight when the meeting adjourned.

Active steps were taken Thursday night to revive the Philharmonic orchestra, which left last season after two excellent concerts under the direction of Hans Albert So successful were these concerts and thoroughly well balanced that the musical public became enthusiastic over the possibility of concerted orchestral work under a proper director. But financially the concerts were a failure, Mr. Albert having to pay a large number of bills out of his own pocket rather than see the fruits of his labor entirely lost. To avoid a recurrence of these drawbacks, a strong organization was erected Thursday night and the interest shown is an earnest of what the Philharmonic will do before the season is over. It is the purpose of the organization, which will be made up almost wholly of amateurs, to give three or four concerts this winter, with rehearsals being held every Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. Mr. Albert will continue as director, the other officers being as follows: President, H.G. Hurt; vice president, C.W. Kalteler; corresponding secretary, Loyal S. Mole; financial secretary, J. Cook; treasurer, S. Heyn; music committee, Hans Albert, T.J. Roller, E.C. Snyder; executive committee, S. Heyn, J.I. Cook, C.W. Kalteler, Hans Albert, T.J. Kelley, E.C. Snyder; librarian, A. Weber, Robert Cuscaden, assistant.
The list of members is as follows:
Violins J.I. Cook, Emily Dorn, Antonin Spoerl, Robert Cuscaden, O. Nordwall, Max Cottier, Lizzie Allen, Miss Sherraden, J.E. Florence, H.J. Tibble, Johnie Pinder, Gaukler.
Violas E. Litzman, Charles McConnoll.
Horns S. Heyn, S. Landsberg.
Flutes A. Pinder, J.A. Cuscaden, A. DeCanoy.
Cornets L.S. Mole, Perry Dadolet, G.W. Bush.
Trombones C.W. Kalteler, P. Taggart.
The Mozart quartet, assisted by Miss Dorniker, pianist, Mr. Adelmann, violinist, and Mrs. R.E. Sunderland, elocutionist, gave a concert at the First Baptist church Thursday evening. A fair-sized audience was in attendance. The work of the quartet was excellent, the only criticism being that too many of their numbers were of a high class of music, which the general public does not fully appreciate. The encore pieces were all bright and catchy, especially the "Monkey Song." The soloists all acquitted themselves well. There was a slight lack of unity between the violin and accompaniment, which was noticeable in two numbers. The feature of the program, however, was the recitation work of Mrs. Sunderland. Her preference seems to run to the heavy dramatic style, in which she completely loses herself and becomes the character actor she represents, thus attaining a naturalness too seldom seen in elocutionists. She possesses an excellent voice and makes a graceful appearance.
Mrs. H. Muensterling, whose class of pupils on the piano faculty is larger this year than ever before, announces a pupils' recital for Friday evening, November 9, at the Woman's Club's new rooms, Sixteenth and Douglas streets. The program gives every promise of being upon the high, artistic plan which has ever been the desire of Mme Muensterling to accomplish during her life as a teacher of the best form of music. She will be assisted by Mr. Adelmann, who will give a violin solo at the end of the concert and will also be accompanied by a string quartet on the rendition of Mendelssohn's concerto No. 1. These numbers will follow the pupils' recital.
Mr. Martin Calm has announced his intention of giving a pupils' recital some time next month. As at his custom, tickets will be sent to his friends. Mr. Calm's recitals are always popular, and it is to be regretted that they are so seldom given.
Owing to the illness of Dr. Duryea, the usual Sunday service at the First Congregational Church will be omitted this afternoon and in its place a musical recital will be given, the hour is 3 o'clock and the following is the program:

TO THE INTELLIGENCE:
Captain Henry W. Howgate was before the district court of the District today and through Attorney A.S. Worthington withdrew his plea of not guilty to all the indictments entered against him in October, 1881, and entered a demurrer to each and all of them. There are seven indictments for embezzlement and four for forgery.
To the embezzlement indictments, the demurrers are to the effect that the facts alleged in the indictment constitute no offense under the laws in force in the District of Columbia prior to the filing of the indictment; that they do not state any offense of which the court has jurisdiction and are too general and uncertain in allegation. The forgery demurrers were of much the same purport, want of definiteness being alleged.

_
All of yesterday was occupleJ In the dle-
trlct court with the ( rial of the Mrynnt dam
age cult against the motor company. Modi-
cat experts were put upon the stand to swear
as to the probability of the young's lady's
Injuries being permanent. Dr. P. S. Thomas ,
who was subpoenaed on behalf of the motor
company , said ho thought the girl was some
what hurt , of courie. but that she had
brooded over her Injuries until she hud made
herself think she was much none than she
really was had become , In fact , n lctlm tea
a malady that was 'entirely within tier own
mind. In this he was seconded by lr. ) Fairchild -
child of Clinton and other medical men.
Dr. Macrae , who was the young lady's phy-
tlclan , on the other hand , testified that he
and four other physicians put her under the
Influence of anaesthetics before operating
upon her limb , and that while she was en
tirely unconscious , the limb Itself by con
traction under a slight touch , shilwcd signs
of pain , an undeniable Indication , he thought ,
that the Injury was not a mental one. The
catc Is full of possibilities to the medical ex
pert , and among the spectators nre a num
ber of students of the med.cal college , who
find It a matter of great Interest to hear the

CHICAGO , Oct. 27. The Western Pnsscn-
r association has been utterly unable to
me to nny agreement with the See line on
he question of emigrant rates , ns that line
nslsts that It must be left free to meet the
ompetitlon of the Canadian Pacific nt any
mo that line puts the screw on the eml-
; rant rates. The western lines admit that
he position taken by the See line la etnl-
ently reasonable , and that they cannot ask
hat line to bind Itself In such a way that
t cannot protect Its own Interests. Tomor
row morning n committee of the western
nes will leave for New York to confer with
he trunk lines over the situation nnd see If
t cannot be arranged so that the two as-
Delations will nork In harmony. There U ,
lowever , small chance that such an arrange
ment will be made.

attentively to him for two hours , while he
gave in his entertaining and forceful way
the gospel of sound and safe finance. Ho
prepared his auditors for the vagaries they
might expect from Congressman Bryan In
his speech to be delivered he-re , and sug
gested so in 3 pertinent questions to propound
to him. One was whether ho approved of
the wild nnd hair-brained propositions con
tained In the bills Introduced In congress by
the populist members , which would require
tlia government to use seven billions or more
of paper dollars to carry them In practice.
Another was whether he believes In the
theory advocated by the populists , In whose
success he takes so much interest ? of the
Issuance of irredeemable paper money. The
tthole question of finance wns thoroughly
gone over , and the verdict of the audience
was that he stripped the theories of the pop
ulist and democratic-pops and held them up
to the derision of nil Intelligent business
men.

Bryant Damage Suit Still on Trial in the
District Court.
DAY DEVOTED TO EXPERT TESTIMONY
Chemist Gives Opinion on the Permanent Character of the Injury
Complaints Follow in Only
In Her Mind.
All of yesterday was occupied in the district court with the trial of the Mrynnt damage suit against the motor company. Several experts were put upon the stand to swear as to the probability of the young lady's injuries being permanent. Dr. P. S. Thomas, who was subpoenaed on behalf of the motor company, said he thought the girl was somewhat hurt, of course. But that she had brooded over her injuries until she had made herself think she was much more none than she really was, had become, in fact, a victim of a malady that was 'entirely within her own mind. In this he was seconded by Dr. Fairchild of Clinton and other medical men.
Dr. Macrae, who was the young lady's physician, on the other hand, testified that he and four other physicians put her under the influence of anaesthetics before operating upon her limb, and that while she was entirely unconscious, the limb itself by contraction under a slight touch, showed signs of pain, an undeniable indication, he thought, that the injury was not a mental one. The case is full of possibilities to the medical expert, and among the spectators are a number of students of the medical college, who find it a matter of great interest to hear the opinions of their seniors in the profession.
On Monday it is probable the last of the testimony will be heard. A young man who formerly kept company with Miss Bryant, Mr. Brown by name, is to be put upon the stand.

Suing the Rock Island Railroad.
Emma Anderson commenced a suit against the Chicago & Rock Island Railway company yesterday for $1,200 damages. In her petition she states that last summer, while she and her daughter, Anna La Rue, were riding on the train, one of the defendant's employees threw some water on the child from a hose, frightening the child so she ran out upon the platform. The trainman followed her out, brandishing his arms in a manner which frightened the child still more, and in trying to get away from him she fell from the platform and one of the wheels passed over her foot, inflicting permanent injuries.

Not So Illicit Whiskey.
The whiskey case in which E.E. Hart and the Nonpareil are to vitally interested did not come up in the district court yesterday morning, in account of press of other business. It will probably be brought up early this week, or as soon as the Bryant damage suit is out of the way. William Arnd, the receiver for the Nonpareil, filed a motion for a dismissal in which he denied that the whiskey and wine were removed to Mr.
Hart's home secretly, as was claimed, but he did it openly, Hart denied that there was as much of the liquor as the interveners claimed, theft being only six full cases of wine, one quart containing eight bottles, and one case containing five bottles of whisky. He denies that the liquor is to be used for any improper purposes, and says he is holding it subject to the order of the court, which can have it any time it wants it.

EASTERN LINE STILL OBSTINATE
Will Enter Into No Agreement Concerning Emigrant Rates,
JUST PROTECT ITS OWN BUSINESS
Ittle Practice Hint Internationa.linc Can
Make an Arrangement with Eastern Hudson to Work In
Harmony.
CHICAGO, Oct. 27. The Western Passenger association has been utterly unable to come to any agreement with the Central Pacific on the question of emigrant rates, as that line insists that it must be left free to meet the competition of the Canadian Pacific at any moment that line puts the screw on the emigrant rates. The western lines admit that the position taken by the Central Pacific is essentially reasonable, and that they cannot ask that line to bind itself in such a way that it cannot protect its own interests. Tomorrow morning a committee of the western lines will leave for New York to confer with the trunk lines over the situation and see if it cannot be arranged so that the two associations will work in harmony. There is, however, a small chance that such an arrangement will be made.
By a readjustment of the Northwestern railroad schedules, taking effect Sunday, October 8, a great saving of time is effected between Chicago and that portion of northern Nebraska tributary to the Northwestern line, as well as Deadwood and Hot Springs, S. D., and the entire Black Hills district. The new arrangement will provide for the distribution of the Chicago morning mail throughout the entire district mentioned twenty-four hours earlier than heretofore. The Northwestern mail leaves Chicago at 3 a.m. and connects with a special mail and express train from New York and the east. The saving in time will apply from all points as far east as New York and Boston.
IOWA STARS TODAY.
Stratford and Elkhorn Will Compete In.
Getting to the North-east.
When the Burlington inaugurates its short line to Billings, Puget Sound, northern Idaho and Montana points today, it will land a locomotive worthy of its steel in the field in the Elkhorn, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley, which, as exclusively announced in The Bee two weeks ago, will put on a rival train for Hot Springs and Deadwood business that will keep the Burlington humping every day.
The new time card goes into effect today and a number of officials and newspaper people will go out on the train at 10 a.m. The new train which is going to throw dust along the line to Deadwood will leave Missouri Valley as No. 3 at 2 o'clock today and leave Omaha at 2:10 p.m. as No. 16. These two trains will be united at Fremont as No. 3 and run through solid to Deadwood. This train will make the North-eastern connection No. 1 leaving Chicago the previous night at 10:30 p.m., and will also connect with the New York Central & Hudson River and the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern fast mail and express, leaving Chicago via the Northwestern at 3 a.m. and arriving at Missouri Valley at 1:45 p.m., making the fastest run of any train in the west and rivaling the New York Central's time between New York and Chicago.
This train, which will deserve the name of Cyclone, will make the 487 miles between Chicago and Missouri Valley in ten hours and forty-five minutes, putting New York mail and express into Omaha six hours earlier if arrangements can be made to bring the train into Omaha instead of stopping at Missouri Valley and allowing slower trains to handle the matter from there.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 27. A private telegram from H.C. Orr of Kansas City, assistant passenger agent of the Burlington lines who is in Chicago today, states that on Sunday, November 1, the Burlington will put in service a fast Denver train, leaving Kansas City at 11 a.m. and reaching Denver at 7:30 a.m. the next morning. The train will run to Denver without change, and will be strictly a Kansas City-Denver train. The Burlington will also put in service at the same time a fast train between Kansas City and St. Joseph, which will make the run of sixty-seven miles in 100 minutes, without stop. The time is now two hours. It is not stated what time this train will leave Kansas City, but it will probably be an afternoon train. Both of these trains are important and valuable additions to the present service. The Burlington has not for a long time made great claims for Kansas City-Denver business, but with the new train will go into the field for all it can get.
The recent change of time between Kansas City and Denver on the Union Pacific, by which the run from Kansas City to Denver was reduced, has made it necessary for all Kansas City-Denver lines to make renewed efforts to get business.
At the meeting of the local passenger and social club yesterday in the secretary's office at Burlington headquarters, the present secretary, C.R. Davidson, was reelected, though it was thought that Mr. James W. Munn of the Elkhorn would many off the prize, but the presence of a dark horse crystallized the opposition to Mr. Munn and he went down with colors flying. Mr. Davidson has made a most enviable record in the position and his re-election was a decided compliment to his ability.
Colonel A.H. Waterman, who was chief construction engineer of the Panama railway, died at his home in this city yesterday. Colonel Waterman was born in Otsego county, New York, seventy years ago, and has held prominent positions on many railroads. He was a member of General Fremont's staff and rendered valuable services during the civil war. He has been an invalid for the last seven years.
Superintendent Hughes of the Elkhorn is improving slowly.
A circular was received yesterday by the freight department of the Union Pacific announcing the appointment of H.H. Smith as assistant general freight agent of the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf under Fred Wild, general freight agent. Mr. Smith was connected with Mr. Wild when he looked after the interests of the Union Pacific in Denver and is a man thoroughly fitted for the position.
Mr. Thomas Schumacher, who will shortly leave for San Francisco to assume the office of general agent of the freight department of the Union Pacific, was presented yesterday with a very beautiful desk outfit, every piece being silver mounted, with Mr. Schumacher's monogram on each piece, the gift of his old associates in the general freight office of the system. Mr. Schumacher is one of the most popular men ever connected with the Union Pacific, and, while his going to new fields is greatly regretted, there are none who begrudge him his promotion.
At Fremont, Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.) A splendid audience greeted Senator Mander at tonight at the opera house and listened attentively to him for two hours, while he gave in his entertaining and forceful way the gospel of sound and safe finance. He prepared his auditors for the vagaries they might expect from Congressman Bryan in his speech to be delivered here, and suggested so in three pertinent questions to propound to him. One was whether he approved of the wild and hair-brained propositions contained in the bills introduced in congress by the populist members, which would require the government to use seven billions or more of paper dollars to carry them in practice. Another was whether he believes in the theory advocated by the populists, in whose success he takes so much interest, of the issuance of irredeemable paper money. The whole question of finance was thoroughly gone over, and the verdict of the audience was that he stripped the theories of the populist and democratic-pops and held them up to the derision of all intelligent business men.
By Hailstorm.
SEWARD, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.) Hon. E.J. Halner addressed a large and enthusiastic audience at the opera house tonight. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the house was filled to its utmost capacity long before the hour of speaking had arrived. Mayor Holland delivered the welcome address, after which the Seward Glee Club rendered several selections. Mr. Halner was introduced by John Zimmerman, amid a cyclone of applause. He opened with the tariff question, which he ably discussed for an hour and a half, being frequently disturbed by the outburst of applause. He concluded with the money question. After his conclusion, the people surged to the front of the stage to shake hands and congratulate Mr. Halner on his able speech.
Republican Canvassing Committee (crushed up).
DENVER, Oct. 27. Secretary of State McClees was arraigned before Judge Burns this afternoon on a charge of contempt of court in having failed to comply with the order requiring him to certify to John T. Bottom as democratic candidate for congress and withdraw all conflicting certificates. Mr.
McClees said he had obeyed the courts' order as he construed it, and would obey any further orders the court might make. Judge Burns decided that Mr. Pence had no claim whatever to the democratic emblem, the rooster, or to the democratic name on the ballot and he directed Mr. McClees to at once certify to the various county clerks the nomination of Mr. Bottom on the democratic ticket and to withdraw the Pence certificate.
Many Attend a Tuberculosis.
BERKELEY SPRINGS, W. Va., Oct. 27.
Hon. W.L., Wilson arrived here last night from Washington city and this morning was driven across the country half a dozen miles to a point near the center of the county where a big democratic meeting and barbecue had been arranged for. The attendance was very large, people coming from Morgan, Berkeley and Hampshire counties and from Washington county, Maryland. Mr. Wilson spoke about an hour, devoting his time to a discussion of the tariff question, and then gave way to local orators.
Railroad Domination Denied.
COHAD, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special Telegram) This afternoon Hon. O.M. Kendreck addressed the voters of this vicinity, and this evening Hanna's hall was well filled to listen to bimetallism from the lips of W.T. Oldham of Kearney, who spoke for over two hours, holding the undivided attention of his audience. His remarks against railroad domination of the republican party, and what he termed the Tobias-Burlington-Castor and Eucled-Thayer-Martin branch of the democratic party provoked liberal applause.
Price Silver Resolution Introduced.
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 27. A motion to take up a resolution in the house of representatives of Georgia's legislature declaring it to be the sense of the legislature that congress should enact a law for the free and unlimited coinage of silver and condemning the representatives in congress who voted for the repeal of the Sherman act, was defeated by a vote of 94 to 83. Only twenty-four democrats voted to take up the resolution. The balance were populists.
Unequal Injunction Denied.
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 27. Judge Anderson in the common pleas court today denied the application of J.A. Smith, the populist lawyer, for an order of injunction to prevent the populist and democratic county committees and the candidates from effecting a fusion compact of the two parties on local offices. The court, after hearing the argument, held in substance that courts of equity were powerless to interfere in such cases.
James was but a trifle per month, all the medicines included.
At. Dr. Shepard
Treats Altitudes with Catarrh
Rhinitis, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Headache, Coughs, Chest Colds, Sore Throat, etc.
Dr. Alfred Cornish, 2115 Erskine Street, an employee of the Woodworth Saddlery company, states to the point as follows:
Alfred Cornish, 2115 Erskine Street.
"My chronic trouble dates back about seven years. For all this period it was working in my system and fastening its hold. I could feel it all through me. The medicine became more active last year, when all the symptoms rapidly got worse. I seemed to have a continual cold in the head, with a painful pressure on top and through the temples. The nose and mouth were full of mucus that stepped me up in the head. The dropping of this secretion into my stomach disturbed that organ so that I became dyspeptic. I could not hold food and much of the time felt a nausea and disgust at the thought of eating. Soon I became weak, without ambition, and, in a word, 'run down' completely. I felt that the real cause of the trouble was the catarrhal poison in me and after a course of treatment with Dr. Shephard I am so restored and changed as to feel entirely a new man. His cleansing and tonic treatment has rid me of my nervous weakness and stomach trouble. I feel first-rate in every way and heartily commend Drs. Copeland & Shephard for thorough and efficacious work and for fair dealing."
SIOUX CITY, Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.) Mr. J. Humes was brought to this city today and held to the grand jury on charges of uttering a forged instrument. Last spring he arranged with a number of Chicago commission houses to buy eggs in this vicinity and ship to them, and to draw on them as soon as the shipments were made at the rate of $3 per case, a bill of lading of the goods shipped to be presented as proof of the shipment. He got together a few eggs and consigned them by different roads in lots of two and three cases each. He took the bills of lading and raised them from two and three cases to twenty and thirty cases and drew drafts for the full number of cases at $3 each, which were honored. He left the city before the scam could be discovered and was captured a couple of days ago in Kansas. Coyne Bros. of South Dakota were the principal losers.
CUSTER, IA., Oct. 27. (Special.) Colonel John One Dollar, a pioneer citizen, died in this city this morning. Colonel Dollar was born at Fort Wayne, Ind., and was 86 years of age. He was a prominent railroad contractor, and came to Custer in 1873 to live in retirement. He erected the first brick building in Custer.
FALLS CITY, Neb., Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.) The republicans gave another rally in this city tonight, Hon. Allen W. Field was the speaker of the evening, and delivered an excellent speech. The Falls City band furnished music, and a large crowd was present. | 17 |

Tlio canal proposition embodies the moat
Impudent Bcliemo ever attempted to be ex
ploited on a free people ! It asks the tax
payers of IhlH county to capitalize a private
corporation with $1.000,000 donation In ad
dition la giving It most extraordinary fran
chises to cnduro for an hundred yearsl The
stockholder * , wealthy men , are not to bo
called on to contribute- equal amount , or
linlt that amount , or any other considerable
sum , to the work. Their scheme Is to make
our $1,000,000 , together with what they can
borrow on the plant , build the work ( II
built at all ) , reimburse them for their ad
vances , they to own It with Its franchise ! ,
which. In case of success , will make a
great and , likely , an oppressive monopoly for
three generations. Costly experience has
taught us to lock the stable door before- the
horse Is stolen and not afterwards. We arc
asked to mortRaRo all property In Douglas
county for $1,800,000 ( principal and Interest ) ,
to allow these men to try an experiment
for that Is all It Is without any risk to
them , all the risk being ours ; they to have
all the benefits If successful , and we to bear
all the loss In case of failure. Wo ( they tell
us ) can afford to glvo those rich men f 1,000.-
000 , when wo can not afford to glvo $50,000
for the poor who must , this coming winter ,
suffer for clothing tel l < eep them warm and
for food to eat , I will vote for $50.000 for
charity , but not ono cent to enable these
men to try this experiment at our coat and
for their gain. I am opposed to spawning
another "franchisee ! corporation" to ba n
leech upon the people , i feel sure that I
cnn convince every candlii , disinterested man
Irt this county that he should vote "No" on
this question. . _ .
Lot mo go back a little : Some months
ago a meeting was called to consider this
matter. That meeting was packed with
boomers to hoot and howl down every citi
zen who raleed his volco against the plan.
Some of our best citizens were hissed. That
meeting the county commissioners regarded
as affording sufficient warrant for seriously
considering the question. I was waited on
by a member of the company and asked to
accept n retainer for this company , but I
declined because I was opposed to the
scheme' . I offered my services gratuitously
tu the county through Chairman Stenberg ,
but was never asked to meet with the com
missioners. It was my desire to * assist In
formulating the proposition so as to pro
tect the taxpayers. Had It been other
wise , I think It would not have been left In
Its present shape , which no good citizen
can'accept and which bids fair to result. If
adopted. In putting this county Into bank
ruptcy for a dry ditch. The commissioners
went Into "executive session ; " I am told that
the door wa'a shut In the face of taxpayers ,
but that there met with them these Inter
ested parties , their attorneys and friends.
"Who are the principal promoters of tlila
flchemo ? Herman Kountze , banker , George
L. Miller ( owner of Seymour park ) , Solon
L.I Wlloy , ( the silent partner ) . Henry T.
Clarke , and certain others , who are Inter
ested In real estate near Seymour park. '
They have formed a corporation to stand
in front of them , the "Omaha Canal and
1'owor company. " This Is to shield them
from personal liability for what may be
dona , for 'contracts they may make , for
liabilities , . /they may Incur. Stockholders
o'f today may not 'bo such tomorrow. Men
identified with the company at first may
all step out at any time , leaving wreck and
ruin In their wake escaping all odium and
liability and Douglas county In the hole ,
or , rather. In the ditch.
Lot us look Into thoproposition and see
what sort of a monopoly wo are asked to
'
c'roato. The water that Is to pass through
our ditch , If any. Is to ba their water ; they
may sell It for Irrigation , for motive power ,
for electric , lights ; they are to be given the
free use of all streets and alleys In the
cities of Omaha and South Omaha that "may
bo required ; " and the foundation Is laid
to tarnish water for public and private use
In our cities. Citizens , a tremendous mo
nopoly .is a-bornlng !
'Jlore lot mo quote : "In part considera
tion" for the $1,000,000 In bonds , said canal
company , "Its successors and assigns , " shall
furnish to the county of Douglas "free of
rent" foe a period of "ninety-nine years ,
current , for power" for use In Us public
buildings ; and no sale , assignment or other
disposition of the canal , by thp canal com
pany , "Its successors or assigns. " shall be
permitted to affect these "vested rights" of
Douglas county ! ( Ye Godsl ) Thus we are
to have free what current for power we
shall need In our county buildings ! You
will reo that perhaps this county will save
In this way as much as $15 a year !
Now , It appears to tmo that there are two
niggers In this wood pile. Hero Is n
recognition of a lifetime for these franchises
of ninety-nine years , nt least , and also a
recognition of their rights to sell and assign
said canal "or any Interest therein" without
the 'consent of the county. How kind of
them to give us this current for
"free ! "
How docs It apear to you this farming
out of these great franchises to private
parties with power to sell out to the capital
ists of London , or Amsterdam , or Iloaton , or
Philadelphia ? Ninety-nine years In the
hands of men of money , armed with these
franchises and the privileges of private cor
porations !
Shall wo * be hooted , or howled down , or
hlisetl because we protest ? Because , look
ing at the sorry ami even sail pictures of
looted and bankrupt communities , ground
down by soulless capitalists , we advise cau-
tlcnJ We ask for safeguards ?
Opinion evidence : A few words upon the
fclluo of the opinion of "experts. " This kind
of evidence Is the contempt of courts and
lawyers. We never accept It as evidence
When we can get anything else. Go Into- our
Courts any day and you will hear It : six
witnesses ( experts ) called by the plaintiff en
the value of real estate will swear It Is north
$2.000. and six witnesses , called by the de
fendant , wilt swear It Is worth. Jl.OOO ! Six
physicians called by the plaintiff will swear
that the plaintiff's Injuries are permanent ,
and six physicians called by the- defendant
will swear they are not ) SK lawyers calleil
by the plaintiff will testify that the value of
certain attorney's services Is $1,000 , and MX
called by the defendant will say it Is not
half that ! Civil engineers often stand op
posed to each other In similar faihlon before
our courts.
Companies by the hundred are formed In
nilr.lng countries , and , arinuJ with the
opinion of experts , go out among the people
pn < \ rell tock stock that olten praves worth
less bringing ruin to many men.
Now , no do not charge thesa experts with
dishonesty , but wes y that evidence that
rests In opinion is very uiircltablo. What
jve want to believe we flnd It caiy to be
lieve , and that Is opinion ! nut we don't
\Y nt to pay $1.800,000 $ for It. Lit mo hire
the experts and I care not who writes the
tonga of the country !
' At Kearney is found one of the largest
fca'nals In the stato. For n tlmo It was n
success. I regret to hear of the bad luck
that lug come to thai enterprise. Industries
started , street ran xvero propelled by elec
tricity and the streets were lighted with
btectrlo light , the power coining from the
HA canal. I am told that the canal Is ai "dry
hi ft pod ; " that It was for two months this
year "dry am * dusty at the itreel ; " that
the Industries are no longer supplied with
power from II , and neither are the electric
light and etrcot car plants. How many
thouRnnd4 of dollars are left to be paid by
tjio taxpayers I do not know. 1 hear , bow-
urer , that they have voted another $00,000 $
to help It out.
And yet , brethren , they hail tha opinions
flt flsporU to go on t
At Oeatalla the precinct In 18S9 voted
, $31,000 , In boildt to b donated to Solon L.
Wiley and associates to aid la Ibo construc
tion ot a canal for Irrigation nd water
power , some thirteen miles In length , to
terminate- within the torpor i to llmiu of the
Tilings ot OgalalU. Solon D. Vr'llcy and as
sociates. It Menu , formed a corporation ( ol
course ! ) called the Ogalilla Power and Irri
gation company , of which Wller w > presi
dent. This company made a contract to
build the canal. Ogalalla was to bo supplied
with water , power , etc. The- company agreed
to slvo the village a "continual supply * of
50-horse water power , " free of charge , for
water works , lights , etc. , and to complete
the canal June , 1890. The company was to
get $2 700 per mile. The company gave
bonds to perform. Some $ .10,000 was paid
by the county , , and the company demanded
the balance. The canal was. completed , the
company claimed. The statement of facts before -
fore me wax made last year. It taya that
them had been no water In the ditch for
two years , except for three or four months ,
and that there had "probably not been a
week , In two years that the company hAS
had sufficient water to furnish the power
which it agreed to furnish Ogalalla. " Wiley ,
I believe , went out of the company before
the completion of thecanal. . This year , 1
hear , there Is not a. drop of water In the
ditch. Now , where Is Ogalalla ! She has
got no water , but must pay those $30,000 $ in
bonds , and G per cent Interest for ten or
twenty yearsl
This canal wa undoubtedly built on the
opinion of experts.
These are object lessons on opinion evi
dence.
Our canal company guarantees us no
water , npt a barrel , not a bucket. It gives
us no bond , either. I do not believe that
at the western terminus of this proposed
canal there Is that continuous supply of
Mater that we can rely upon. Experts- may
glvo all the opinions In the world common
n o Is worth moro than all of them. I am
told that you can drive across the Platte
river , near Columbus , without wetting your
horses' hoofs. Also that what water there
Is available now for us , will soon be taken
up for irrigation. Now , gentlemen , isn't It
water that wo are after ? We are not looking
for a toboggan slide In winter , or for navi
gation for mud hens In summer nor are 'we
willing to pay $1,800,000 to boom real estate
In the vicinity of Seymour'park. '
You will bo amazed to learn that for our
.million ' dollars the canal company doca not
'contract , or covenant , to Insure that a single
barrel full of water , or even a bucket full ,
shall ever pass through this ditch ! They
ask us to "aid" them In constructing a
"ditch" and appurtenances , that Is. all.
There Is another amazing fact. I hare
just told you that this corporation gives no
bond to perform and does not even promise
that a barrel of water shall ever pass through
this canal. Presumably It has not conll-
dcnce enough In the opinion oC experts to
engage n do that. We take the Tlsl { , We
pay the freight. This other amazing fact
la this : This company does not bind Itself
to complete th's ' cannl. Worse than that
It may abandon It at any time and throw
it and all Its liabilities ( not
exceeding $2,000-
000) ) on the county of Douglas. I will prove
this.
this.This
This Is what the proposition gays :
"In case of the abandonment of the en
terprise for a period of six months by the
Omuha power and Canal company at any
time before the completion of said canal
the right of purchase ( that Is , the power
to buy It on appraisement at the end
ot twenty years ) shall become ot force the
same as though the twenty years had
elapsed and nil bonds of Douglas county
herein provided for and not actually deliv
ered to the company by the trustee ( In New
York , which Is to have possession of them
soon after they are voted ) shall be returned
to Douglas county for cancellation ami the
property shall be taken ( by the county ) sub
ject to the existing Indebtedness and obliga
tions of the company , contracted In good
faith , and the amount so to be assumed
by the said county shall In no case exceed
$2,000,000 In the aggregate. "
The right to purchase In twenty years
clause contains these words : "The prop
erty to bo taken subject to Its bonded In
debtedness as herein limited. " Elsewhere
are the words : "The bonded Indebtedness
ot said Omaha Canal and Power company ,
Its successors or assigns , shall at no time
exceed $2,000,000. ; ' .
Two million dollars Is quite sufficient , but
Is It meant that the , cpunty , ia to assume ,
the ' '
company's bonded ImlebCedness'and obli
gations not exceeding another" $2,000,000.
Thank God neither the commissioners nor
the electors ore empowered to irikke valid
any such contract as' that. All the canal
company has to do , In case It sees failure
ahead. Is to abandon the work for six
months , then the right to purchase by the
county arises for what appraisers fix , but
the county must assume all liabilities , con
tracts , obligations and bonded Indebtedness
ot the company to the amount of $2,000,000
or $4.000.000 !
Let us suppose a case. The company Is to
get $15,000 per mKe for each mlle completed
when completed from the trustees In New
York. Our bonds areto betaken to New
York ( outside the reach of our courts ) as
soon as they can be voted and registered.
When they get over the Elkhorn they areto
have $75.000 In addition. Calling the distance
twenty miles , or half way. and they will
have of our money $370.000 , and wo shall
bo liable * for $300,000 Interest , total $675,000. $
They see failure ahead. They abandon the
work six months. Now all this $675,000 Is
lost , unless wobuy the canal and assume
their debts , contracts and obligations not to
exceed $2,000.000 ! They step out without los
ing a cent. In other words , we pay $673,000
for the privilege of buying a busted canal
scheme and Indebtedness up to the amount
of $2.000,000 $ ! What..a luxury Is that , my
countrymen ! What- . chance for a construc
tion company ! If these parties choose they
may form another corporation and let con
tracts to themselves on the work. What a
chance for enterprise ! What Is $2.075,000 to
us ? If the- Lord loves a cheerful giver , how
he must be stuck on our county commis
sioners ! Hoally , do you not enjoy paying
taxes ? Head the following : "In case any
of the terms , limitations , conditions or pro
visions proposed herein relating to the begin
ning , progress or completion ot said Improve
ments or In case any of the pro
visions herein required to be kept and per
formed on the part of said canal company
as a condition precedent to the delivery of
the proposed bonds by not kept and per
formed then said canal company shall not bo
entitled to receive any ot ttio unearned bond ]
but all earned bonds whether de
livered or not shall bo the property of the
canal company and shall bo delivered to the
canal company. " In other words If the com
pany fizzles oflt at any time after constructing
part of the work It Is to have pay for os far
as It has got without being bound to complete
the canal ! This Is unparalleled In the w'.iole
history of contracts ! It offers a. premium for
beginning the work and not finishing' It.
They may do the light , Inexpensive and profit
able work and leave tlio costly parts -indone.
The penalty for not completing the wolk Is
that they are to have the bonds 'or work
done , but are not to have bonds for work not
done !
This Is not a Jug-handled proposition only
because there la no Jug !
"Cheap power ! " There wilt be no power
at all ! If abundant were to be provided. It
would not be cheap at their prices , and ,
lastly. If wo had power here today to Rive
away they could not dispose of any ot It
to new Industries. If these- men could build
up a center on their property nine miles
awny , would It help or hurt the property
owners of Otnaha who have Improved their
property , bullded our city , paved our streets
and sidewalks and constructed our sewers ,
with a liberality unparalleled , and who have
borne the burden of hard times and heavy
taxes these dreary years ?
Omaha can not lift herself up by her boot
straps ; she can not buy prosperity with
bonds bondt made for banks ! Running In
debt la the worst thing to do to get pros
perity as some of these heedless boomers
can tell you. In the east prosperity la loom
ing up as if It were the rising sun It will
speedily spread over the west llko unto tbe
going down of the same ! Omaha , St. Paul.
MlnneapolU , Kansas City , Denver and Chicago
cage are all having the same experience
all must wait until the country recovers ,
and the country Iq recovering now moat
rapidly. We ure on the eve ot the most
prosperous era Omaha has ever known.
Let us not retard Omaha's prosperity by
loading her down with debts to the gun
wales !
We hear laboring men appealed to to vote
for these bonds because they say It will give
them work. Olve you work ! How many

ARLINGTON , Neb. , Oct. 2C. To the Ed
itor of The Bee : You nave frequently printed
articles from Mr. Ourtlss Turner on Iho sub
ject of good roads. It la evidently Mr
Turner's intention to better the condition of
Douglas county by these Improved road
ways. The county Is Ina terrible condi
tion , he says , by reason of these wretched
roads of ours , and we will never progress
or amount to anything : until these roaila are
fixed up according to- his Ifleas. He has'crat-
llnctl several systems of well drained , sub
stantial wagon roads , but he has evidently
misunderstood the temper of the people at
this county. They do not want good roads ;
they do not want to progress ; they- want to
bo left alone In their mud. Their fathers'
wacons broke down In tills mud ; , their own
wagons have broken down , and they hope to
see their children's wagons there hub deep ,
They love the mud.
Then , there Is an Insuperable objection
to all Mr. Turner's plans for crushed stone
roads. The supply of stone Is very lim
ited , and I am told that there Is colhg to
bo so much biilkllns done next , year that
there won't be any left for roads. My
friends , It Is easy to play roulette with other
people's money , but when you come to build
ing stone roads you have got to have a cinch

OMAHA. Oct. 27. To the Editor of The
Bee : I flnd that unintentionally I have been
guilty of a serious error In my statements
concernlnc the cost of steam power In
Omaha. In an article In last -Sunday's Dee
I stated that the cost of steam power In
quantities of fifty horse power and upwards
was from $2M6 to $67.75 per liprso power
per annum "on the basis ofa continuous
run. " I find that thl in not correct ; that
I should have said on the "basis of ten
hours per day and 308 days per .year. "
Therefore , the cost of steam power as com
pared with the cost Of canal power In that
article was quite Incorrect. '

A good BlzeJ audience gathered at Boyd's
heater last night la hear City Engineer
ilosewater discuss the Platte river canal
reject and tbo. beimflts that might arise
houkl the | l,000,0 0i ot county bonds bd
oted at the coming- election and the canal
xj constructed as. contemplated by the promoter
meter 3 .and incorporatora of the canal coin-
any. ,
Preliminary to discussing the general quw-
.Ion , Mr. Ilosewater explained the power of
water ami steam when under control. He
al Iso described the manner In which the
olume of water In the Platte and Elkhotn
Ivors liad been measured. Slnca 1873 there
ad never been so small a quantity of water
.a1 during the season Just passed , this season
ho rainfall In the country drained by the
Ukliorn and the Loup fork being from GO
ier cent to 100 per cent less than In former
ears. But with this small quantity of
alnfalt , when the measurements were taken
. short time ago the flow was shown to be
nore than 1,400 cubic feet per second , or
ouble what would be required to produce
he power contemplated by the canal pro
moters.
The Missouri river , Mr. Itosewater showed ,
: ould not bo utilized for canal purposes. He
xplalned that the flow of the Missouri river
was 30.000.0M cubic feet , with a velocity of
"our feet per second.To get a canal out of
he Missouri river there would not be suul-
: lent -velocity , for the reason that tha canal
vould have to carry as much water Itself ,
ho fall not being sufficient , there being
fall of but a few Inches 'per mile , while In
ho Platte the fall was six feet per mile. Tak-
ng up the whole of the water In the MIs-
lourl river , theoretically , It would develop
iut 852 horse power.
On the proposed canal the fall of the water
.t Seymour park would be 135 feet. Scouting
.he theory that the iMalto was devoid of
water , Mr. Ttogewntcf satd that It was true
that at times there "was but little1 visible
upon the surface , but below there was a
itrong underflow. 'At ' Kearney last year the
people voted $ GO,000 In bonds to aid In paying
he cost -enlarging the Kearney canal
rom 2,1300 to 9,000 horjfe power , notwlthstand-
n g the statements of Judge Gaslln to the con-
rary. Had the citizens of Kearney consld-
rcd their canal a faituro they would never
have Incurred an additional Indebtedness of
$60,000. The city cnfyneer of Kearney had
written that there woe no water flowing In
ho rher , but the flow was as great
as when the canal \Va : Constructed , the flow
bolng 100 feet per sectlhlL'
In Kearney the Co/nil furnished the power
for operating twenty-two manufacturing es
tablishments , the , loetlc light plant and
the street railway.Tiid statements made to
the effect that the. Kearney canal was a
failure had been mVfile- without an investi
s < lr
gation.
GASLIN.
Regarding the stateTiients made by Judge
Gaslln , and which recently appeared In The
Bee. Mayor Brcdy dZ ftcarney wrote :
"That portion o r the , Judge's letter1 re
ferring to the cost otlho.Kcar'ney . .canal. Is ,
I think , practically gpfrrpt , but his observa
tions anil conclusions &t& wholly Incorrect.
After a. residence of twer neven years In

wnter In. the I'latto noV 1 $ low , but there Is
plenty of water In the canal for all pur
poses. The Judge , In .the conclusion of 'Ills
letter , leaves the Impression that the city
of Kearney , last sprlngjvotcd $60,000 In bonds
to help the canal company out of a hole.
Generous city ! Thcr. tact Is , the1 peo-
plO of Kearney , being convinced that
the canal wasa. . ' uecess , voted $60.000
In bonds , to , aid the canal , company
to make It a creator success to enlarge
the canal , tea width , thirty-five feet on
the bottom with a uniform depth ot i.lno
feet , and to furnish at the power house
9,000 horse power. The bonds have been
sold and the work is progressing rapidly.
To prove that the citizens and taxpayers of
Kearney believe and -know that the cana :
Is a success , I have but to state that at the
election last spring .when the question of
voting $60,000 In bortds .to aid In enlarging
the canal was submitted , 1,096 votes were
cast In favor ot the proposition ind only IS
against the proposition. I am pleased ti
state that the Kearney cotton mill < hd no
'shut down for go dV as Judge Gaslln
states. On the contrary , operators are
arriving dally and qveiy preparation is being
mada to have It running at Its full capacity
within thirty days , as I am Informed by
the superintendent. "
Denying the Judge Qasllh statement , Mr ,
R. W. Hccve , a prominent Investor of Kcar
ney , wrote :
"I do not endorse. Iho statement of Judge
Gaslln. The Kearney canal la no experi
ment ; 1t has fully demonstrated Its useful
nesa and value as a motive power , besides
being of untold wealth to the thousands o'
acres which have received1 abundant molstun
through the medium , of Irrigation. The
present year we all know has been an excep
tionally dry one , the ftow of the Platte being
greatly diminished over former years. In
addition to that , operations have been com
menced on the enlargement of the canal , and
before , the work of the head gates and tli
rising basin had been completed , work wa
suspended , pending the negotiation of bonds
While In this condition , there was a scarcity
of water In the canal. This , however , will
always bo obviated when the work now In
progress shall have been completed. Tl
Kearney canal , whlcji furnished an un
limited -water power , 1 * the means -which wll
ultimately make cur dty the manufacturing
pride of thn Platte Valley In central No
braska. The work ojf completing the en
largement Is being prosecuted as rapidly a !
men and money can accomplish It , and If I
had proven a fallurtT this would not b'
done. "
It during this dryS season the requlslt
quantity of power coflld tie developed , Mr
Ilosewater contended"that It would be saff
to say that the canal i pnd | always do wha
was promised. TouclijnR.upon the subject o :
the cost of produclnnileam and other power
as quoted by CtirttacuC. Turner recently
Mr , Ilosewater provjto-'to- satisfaction o :
the audience , thai tlife'Ventlcman was mis-
taken. S&
Steam power In Omdha , Mr. Rogewate
showed , was cxpenstuQ-ivti the present time , I

company At the pre.jffiiS time It was cot tin ;
flvo horse poT cr engljjp $135 per horse powe
per annum , -while tliouoharges provided b :
this proposition wouldbai$50 per horse powe
per annum , and sdi"ttn along through th
list. Mr , Turner had pasted the figures muc !
higher , but It was , apparent that ho bai
made his figures 'to in fe d the public.
TOWER iiAaES CHEAP.
Heading from BclcMtftj ? Journals upon th
subject of power , r.jjpsewater contended
that the highest Tatq. wblph the canal com
pany wouUl bo allouroi to charge would be
much lower than that at which power coui
be developed Iti the cnt > t and throughout th
coal regions , *
In California they were constructing
canal which would develop cheap power ,
making the cltlea through which It would
pass the greatest maufacturlng centers.
There the canal company proposed to charge
$60 per anum for a single horse power , while
hero the maximum rate wai to be but $55
per year to the consumer.
Last year , Mr. Hoiewater said , he opposed
the canal proposition. . At that tlmo there
was no agreement as to wont the rates
should be. In fact , at- that time the Inter
ests of the people were- not guarded. Since
that time the objectionable features of the
proposition had been eradicated , and now the
proper cafeeuardg had been thrown about
It for the Interests , of the public. The
cpeaker advocated municipal ownership of
thU. us well as all , cl her franchises of a
like nature. The proposition provided that
ha canel couM be purchased by tha city , the
company agreeing upon Iho plan.
Tlio Indebtedness ot the company was 11m-
tcJ to $2,000,600 , and , upon purchase- , the
' 1,000,000 to be- donated by tJi people would
c deducted , the public losing nothing but
he interest. Objections to tha proposition
it this time , Mr. Horcwater thought , came
.vlth bad grace , owing to the fad that the
; ubject was before the county commissioners
'
'or weeks , and at that tlmo nothing was
'aid ' detrimental to Iho cinal.
Outlines of tlio Elkhorn nnd Platte rivers
wore shown by the aid of a Btercoptlcon ,
| ihowlnR that there was a good flow of water
n both of the rivers.
The canal , Mr. Uosawator said. In Ills mind
was not In the Interest of any one
man or any set of men , It was a public
enterprise and would benefit any property
holder. If the enterprise- was cirrled out
U would benefll ) some moro than ethers , but
aven the man with a single house would be
benefited In proportion ,
In time , ns moro navigation ditches were
constructed , water would be absorbed , but
"
"rom 30 to 60 per cent would go back Into
ho soil feeding the streams , again. In the
ordinary way , but 10 per cent of the rainfall
flowed Into the streams. Urn balance going
'nto the soil. If the 20,000 horse power of
: ho two rivers were utilized In Omaha Uiero
would bo a bulldcd up a monument that
would last for all tlmo to come , Jf the com
pany flled for a certain number of cubic feet ,
no man could go above tha canal and cut
iff that supply , which fact made It Impossible )
.0 take away the water 'for ' Irrigating pur
poses , leaving the company without the
quantity which It clnlmetl. The canal Itself
would cost from 13.GOO.OOO to $3,000,000 , the
canal proper costing about $1.000.000 , with
the bnlanco ot transmission and electrical
appliances.

As Boswell was Indisputably king of biog
raphers or Shakespenr of poets , so was
tembrandt of etchers. Etching , although
considered co-ordlnato with painting by
some of the greatest masters , had fallen
nto decay and decrepitude until the present
generation of genuine artists In France ,
England and the United States revived It.
These works of the necdto are Increasing
greatly In value and the success of the etch
ing appears , ln _ many Instances , to be due
more to the artistic quality ot the work
ather than to the pleasing character of
ho subject , which prove * that the taste
lor tlila delightful department of art Is
growing | n cultivation and ita position In art
's already assured ,
It was less than two years ago that the
art world lost one of Its best artists of the
needle In the denth ot Charles Emit Jaque.
His Important canvases are , for the greater
part , owned In Chicago , and although a
painter of unquestionable- talent , lie Is better
known to the world as as nn etcher , and he
tva& one of the first to contribute to the
revival of the art In France. His earlier
works in this line are known tobe some
what affected and effeminate , but later when
depicting subjects that he had a strong
affection for , his work became more robust.
It was the privilege ol the writer to know
the man and artist and to > visit at Intervals
his atelier at Paris and also the little
flower-bedecked studio nt Barblzan , where
he oiten sought rest and quiet after a labor
ious winter in the busy French capital. lie
waa a man of highly nervous and sensitive
temperament and had not been In vigorous
health for many years before his death.
Ho would sit for some time by the open
grate- fire shivering , wrapped up In such a
way that only hla nose and a bit ot his
mustache remained visible. When he be
en s Interested In conversation he would
w. i up , throw aside his wraps and sug-
a long walk In the forest. At Barbi-
ho shotted me his portfolio filled with
ninny of his youthful attempts at engraving
and etching , from Itu very Infancy down to
Its later day completeness ,
Jaque's early Ideas of affected elegance In
rustic scenes soon gave way to homelier sub
jects. Many woodcuts In his studio at Paris
bear wl.ness to the change of manner even
before Millet had produced his first real
peasants. The Influence of these two great
artistson each other was very strong , and
Jaquo Man > dlfecoverod In 'rural ' life the
strength and plcturesqueness of the peasant
in the Held whfcli , hla etchings show us. He
loved to watch the cattle grazing and study
their movements , and I hav seen him talkIng -
Ing with the shepherds and at the some
moment fixing his eye- Intently upon a drove
oC sheep hard by. Cattle and sheep were
sympathetic subjects to him. and In his
etchings we can trace- his Intense devotion
to the rural life ; around him. His life woe
spent In France and a large number of the
plates he showed me wcro executed from
sketches made Irt Burgundy the etcher's
paradise.
In looking at some of Percy Moron's
work I am forcibly reminded of Jaque
There Is a striking similarity ot treatment
and when I make- this bold assertion I do
not feel that I am taking from the French
artist any of the laurels which the world o
art grants him , but rather provo his wortl ;
by comparing another honored name with
his. I'ercy Moran'a etchings display the
same delicate effect , the same soft shadows
and the same happy story of rustic life
Ho shows us people and things as they are In
nature. His shepherds ure real shepherds
and his cows and shei" ) exist for us- out
side of the copper plate. The attitude
and movement of hla anlmalt. are novel
strained , but free and natural , Ho repre
sents the shepherd's dog- grown old In faith
ful servitude In tha most touching manner.
For background he employs a bit of country
landscape , a farm house with thatched roof ,
a winding road nnd stream quiet , harmonl
ous. restful. Ills subjects appear familiar t <
us. we seem to know the spot , and even tin
shaggy shepherd dog looks at us appeallngly
as If we. too , were not strangers.
The "peasant painter , " as Millet -was affec
tlonately termed , has taught u to recognizi
his gleaners , but none have told us mor <
truthfully of sheep In search of grass or cat
tie grazing than Percy Muran , Hla twi
pieces , "Cattle" and "Sheep , " In the prescn
collection of art now on exhibition. In the
library building are loaned by Mr. Charles A
Coe , who also owns "May and December , " by
S. J. Ferris , another etcher who lias achieved
well merited recognition and whose artlstl
work will bear comparison with much ot the
famous work of Jaque. His plate Is neve
overloaded with unnecessary and unexpresslv
lines , every detail Is distinct and delicate
and there Is a-crlsp quality of tano which I
very satisfactory. He chooses his subjects
with care , and In the one before us there I :
such a halo of sunshine above and around 1
that we long to catch the brlgntnesa of thos ,
laughing eyes and tell her how aweet wi
think her. What could be more charming
than the look of perfect Joy and trust < Je
plcted on the smiling countenance ot th
young girl as she nestles up close to he
grandfather and leans her pretty head agalns
the old man's wrinkled face ! It la a gllmps
ot lender sentiment , a blending of the twi
extremes of life * old ago and youth. It Is a
picture which calls forth one's best emotion
of the heart.

John D. Howe Argues Strongly Against the Voting of the Bonds.
WHY PROPOSITION SHOULD BE DEFEATED
After a Considerate Examination, He Pulls to Defend Anything in Commendation of the Canal Enterprise
The canal proposition embodies the most impudent scheme ever attempted to be exploited on a free people! It asks the taxpayers of this county to capitalize a private corporation with $1,000,000 donation in addition to giving it most extraordinary franchises to endure for a hundred years! The stockholders, wealthy men, are not to be called on to contribute equal amount, or half that amount, or any other considerable sum, to the work. Their scheme is to make our $1,000,000, together with what they can borrow on the plant, build the work (if built at all), reimburse them for their advances, they to own it with its franchise!, which, in case of success, will make a great and, likely, an oppressive monopoly for three generations. Costly experience has taught us to lock the stable door before the horse is stolen and not afterwards. We are asked to mortgage all property in Douglas county for $1,800,000 (principal and interest), to allow these men to try an experiment for that is all it is without any risk to them, all the risk being ours; they to have all the benefits if successful, and we to bear all the loss in case of failure. We (they tell us) can afford to give those rich men $1,000,000, when we cannot afford to give $50,000 for the poor who must, this coming winter, suffer for clothing, keep them warm, and for food to eat. I will vote for $50,000 for charity, but not one cent to enable these men to try this experiment at our cost and for their gain. I am opposed to spawning another "franchise" corporation to be a leech upon the people. I feel sure that I can convince every candid, disinterested man in this county that he should vote "No" on this question.
Let me go back a little: Some months ago a meeting was called to consider this matter. That meeting was packed with boomers to hoot and howl down every citizen who raised his voice against the plan. Some of our best citizens were hissed. That meeting the county commissioners regarded as affording sufficient warrant for seriously considering the question. I was waited on by a member of the company and asked to accept a retainer for this company, but I declined because I was opposed to the scheme. I offered my services gratuitously to the county through Chairman Stenberg, but was never asked to meet with the commissioners. It was my desire to assist in formulating the proposition so as to protect the taxpayers. Had it been otherwise, I think it would not have been left in its present shape, which no good citizen can accept and which bids fair to result in putting this county in bankruptcy for a dry ditch. The commissioners went into "executive session"; I am told that the door was shut in the face of taxpayers, but that there met with them these interested parties, their attorneys, and friends.
"Who are the principal promoters of this scheme? Herman Kountze, banker, George L. Miller (owner of Seymour park), Solon L. Wholley, (the silent partner), Henry T. Clarke, and certain others, who are interested in real estate near Seymour park. They have formed a corporation to stand in front of them, the "Omaha Canal and Power company." This is to shield them from personal liability for what may be done, for contracts they may make, for liabilities they may incur. Stockholders of today may not be such tomorrow. Men identified with the company at first may all step out at any time, leaving wreck and ruin in their wake escaping all odium and liability and Douglas county in the hole, or, rather, in the ditch.
Let us look into the proposition and see what sort of a monopoly we are asked to create. The water that is to pass through our ditch, if any, is to be their water; they may sell it for irrigation, for motive power, for electric lights; they are to be given the free use of all streets and alleys in the cities of Omaha and South Omaha that "may be required"; and the foundation is laid to taint water for public and private use in our cities. Citizens, a tremendous monopoly is a-borning!
More let me quote: "In part consideration" for the $1,000,000 in bonds, said canal company, "Its successors and assigns," shall furnish to the county of Douglas "free of rent" for a period of "ninety-nine years," current, for power for use in its public buildings; and no sale, assignment, or other disposition of the canal, by the canal company, "Its successors or assigns," shall be permitted to affect these "vested rights" of Douglas county! (Ye Gods!) Thus we are to have free what current for power we shall need in our county buildings! You will see that perhaps this county will save in this way as much as $15 a year!
Now, it appears to me that there are two niggers in this wood pile. Here is a recognition of a lifetime for these franchises of ninety-nine years, at least, and also a recognition of their rights to sell and assign said canal "or any interest therein" without the consent of the county. How kind of them to give us this current for "free"!
How does it appear to you this farming out of these great franchises to private parties with power to sell out to the capitalists of London, or Amsterdam, or Boston, or Philadelphia? Ninety-nine years in the hands of men of money, armed with these franchises and the privileges of private corporations!
Shall we be hooted, or howled down, or hissed because we protest? Because, looking at the sorry and even sad pictures of looted and bankrupt communities, ground down by soulless capitalists, we advise caution? We ask for safeguards?
Opinion evidence: A few words upon the fallacy of the opinion of "experts." This kind of evidence is the contempt of courts and lawyers. We never accept it as evidence. When we can get anything else. Go into our Courts any day and you will hear it: six witnesses (experts) called by the plaintiff on the value of real estate will swear it is worth $2,000, and six witnesses, called by the defendant, will swear it is worth $1,500! Six physicians called by the plaintiff will swear that the plaintiff's injuries are permanent, and six physicians called by the defendant will swear they are not! Six lawyers called by the plaintiff will testify that the value of certain attorney's services is $1,000, and six called by the defendant will say it is not half that! Civil engineers often stand opposed to each other in similar fashion before our courts.
Companies by the hundred are formed in mining countries, and, coming with the opinion of experts, go out among the people to sell stock that often proves worthless, bringing ruin to many men.
Now, do not charge the experts with dishonesty, but we must say that evidence that rests in opinion is very unreliable. What we want to believe, we find it easy to believe, and that is opinion! But we don't want to pay $1,800,000 for it. Let me hire the experts and I care not who writes the songs of the country!
At Kearney, one of the largest canals in the state, for a time it was a success. I regret to hear of the bad luck that has come to that enterprise. Industries started, streets were lighted with electric light, the power coming from the canal. I am told that the canal is at "dry pod"; that it was for two months this year "dry and dusty at the street"; that the industries are no longer supplied with power from it, neither are the electric light and street car plants. How many thousands of dollars are left to be paid by the taxpayers, I do not know. I hear, however, that they have voted another $600,000 to help it out.
And yet, brethren, they hail the opinions of experts to go on to construction.
At Ogalalla, the precinct in 1889 voted $31,000, in aid to be donated to Solon L. Wiley and associates to aid in the construction of a canal for irrigation and water power, some thirteen miles in length, to terminate within the township of Ogalalla. Solon L. Wiley and associates, formed a corporation (of course!), called the Ogalalla Power and Irrigation company, of which Wiley was president. This company made a contract to build the canal. Ogalalla was to be supplied with water, power, etc. The company agreed to give the village a "continuous supply" of 50-horsepower water power, free of charge, for water works, lights, etc., and to complete the canal June, 1890. The company was to get $2,700 per mile. The company gave bonds to perform. Some $60,000 was paid by the county, and the company demanded the balance. The canal was completed, the company claimed. The statement of facts before me was made last year. It says that there had been no water in the ditch for two years, except for three or four months, and that there had "probably not been a week, in two years that the company had sufficient water to furnish the power which it agreed to furnish Ogalalla." Wiley, I believe, went out of the company before the completion of the canal. This year, I hear, there is not a drop of water in the ditch. Now, where is Ogalalla! She has got no water, but must pay those $30,000 in bonds, and 8% interest for ten or twenty years!
This canal was undoubtedly built on the opinion of experts.
These are object lessons on opinion evidence.
Our canal company guarantees us no water, not a barrel, not a bucket. It gives us no bond, either. I do not believe that at the western terminus of this proposed canal there is that continuous supply of water that we can rely upon. Experts may give all the opinions in the world, but common sense is worth more than all of them. I am told that you can drive across the Platte river, near Columbus, without wetting your horses' hooves. Also that what water there is available now for us, will soon be taken up for irrigation. Now, gentlemen, isn't it water that we are after? We are not looking for a toboggan slide in winter, or for navigation for mud hens in summer nor are we willing to pay $1,800,000 to boom real estate in the vicinity of Seymour park.
You will be amazed to learn that for our million dollars the canal company does not contract, or covenant, to insure that a single barrel full of water, or even a bucket full, shall ever pass through this ditch! They ask us to "aid" them in constructing a "ditch" and appurtenances, that is all.
There is another amazing fact. I have just told you that this corporation gives no bond to perform and does not even promise that a barrel of water shall ever pass through this canal. Presumably it has not confidence enough in the opinion of experts to engage to do that. We take the risk, we pay the freight. This other amazing fact is this: This company does not bind itself to complete the canal. Worse than that, it may abandon it at any time and throw it and all its liabilities (not exceeding $2,000,000) on the county of Douglas. I will prove this.
This is what the proposition says:
"In case of the abandonment of the enterprise for a period of six months by the Omaha Power and Canal company at any time before the completion of said canal, the right of purchase (that is, the power to buy it on appraisement at the end of twenty years) shall become of force the same as though the twenty years had elapsed and all bonds of Douglas county herein provided for and not actually delivered to the company by the trustee (in New York, which is to have possession of them soon after they are voted) shall be returned to Douglas county for cancellation and the property shall be taken (by the county) subject to the existing indebtedness and obligations of the company, contracted in good faith, and the amount so to be assumed by the said county shall in no case exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate."
The right to purchase in twenty years clause contains these words: "The property to be taken subject to its bonded indebtedness as herein limited." Elsewhere are the words: "The bonded indebtedness of said Omaha Canal and Power company, its successors or assigns, shall at no time exceed $2,000,000.";
Two million dollars is quite sufficient, but is it meant that the county is to assume the company's bonded indebtedness and obligations not exceeding another $2,000,000?
Thank God neither the commissioners nor the electors are empowered to strike valid any such contract as that. All the canal company has to do, in case it sees failure ahead, is to abandon the work for six months, then the right to purchase by the county arises for what appraisers fix, but the county must assume all liabilities, contracts, obligations, and bonded indebtedness of the company to the amount of $2,000,000 or $4,000,000!
Let us suppose a case. The company is to get $15,000 per mile for each mile completed when completed from the trustees in New York. Our bonds are to be taken to New York (outside the reach of our courts) as soon as they can be voted and registered.
When they get over the Elkhorn they are to have $75,000 in addition. Calling the distance twenty miles, or half way, and they will have of our money $370,000, and we shall be liable for $300,000 interest, total $675,000. They see failure ahead. They abandon the work six months. Now all this $675,000 is lost, unless we buy the canal and assume their debts, contracts, and obligations not to exceed $2,000,000! They step out without losing a cent. In other words, we pay $673,000 for the privilege of buying a busted canal scheme and indebtedness up to the amount of $2.000,000! What a luxury is that, my countrymen! What chance for a construction company! If these parties choose, they may form another corporation and let contracts to themselves on the work. What a chance for enterprise! What is $2.075,000 to us? If the Lord loves a cheerful giver, how he must be stuck on our county commissioners! Hally, do you not enjoy paying taxes? Head the following: "In case any of the terms, limitations, conditions, or provisions proposed herein relating to the beginning, progress, or completion of said improvements or in case any of the provisions herein required to be kept and performed on the part of said canal company as a condition precedent to the delivery of the proposed bonds by not kept and performed, then said canal company shall not be entitled to receive any of the unearned bonds but all earned bonds whether delivered or not shall be the property of the canal company and shall be delivered to the canal company." In other words, if the company fizzles off at any time after constructing part of the work, it is to have paid for as far as it has got without being bound to complete the canal! This is unparalleled in the whole history of contracts! It offers a premium for beginning the work and not finishing it. They may do the light, inexpensive, and profitable work and leave the costly parts undone. The penalty for not completing the work is that they are to have the bonds for work done, but are not to have bonds for work not done!
This is not a jug-handled proposition only because there is no jug! "Cheap power!" There will be no power at all! If abundant were to be provided, it would not be cheap at their prices, and, lastly, if we had power here today to give away, they could not dispose of any of it to new industries. If these men could build up a center on their property nine miles away, would it help or hurt the property owners of Omaha who have improved their property, built our city, paved our streets and sidewalks, and constructed our sewers, with a liberality unparalleled, and who have borne the burden of hard times and heavy taxes these dreary years?
Omaha cannot lift herself up by her bootstraps; she cannot buy prosperity with bonds made for banks! Running in debt is the worst thing to do to get prosperity as some of these heedless boomers can tell you. In the east, prosperity is looming up as if it were the rising sun. It will speedily spread over the west like unto the going down of the same! Omaha, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Denver, and Chicago are all having the same experience. All must wait until the country recovers, and the country is recovering now most rapidly. We are on the eve of the most prosperous era Omaha has ever known. Let us not retard Omaha's prosperity by loading her down with debts to the gunwales!
We hear laboring men appealed to to vote for these bonds because they say it will give them work. Give you work! How many times have you been told that by bankers and corporations to enable them to corral another leasehold? Think about it. They think you, being truth tellers, believe that words mean truth, and that you will take their words, words, words. Words are liars unless handled by truth tellers. The laboring man is neither dishonest nor a fool; he will not vote taxes upon his neighbors.
These corporations, after combining into unions and trusts themselves, we read are "weeding out" of their employees all men that belong to unions. Unions, they say, are for them but not for you. They combine in unions against the poor of the whole world, but they say the poor must not combine for a living wage to save their babies from starvation. They also say "we will use the laborer to vote us bonds." Laborers, you will not take your neighbor's work from him however great your need; there you are noble. "Will you place taxes upon him to make a donation of $1,000,000 to 'franchised' a corporation?"

MORE DISTRICTS ON THE DITTO.
Hickson in Support of J. Turner
Hickson a Correction.
OMAHA, Oct. 26. To the Editor of The Bee: Should the people of Douglas county in their wisdom see fit to vote favorably on the issuing of the Omaha canal and power bonds we may expect the city of Omaha to be lit by electricity at something like reasonable rates.
When the council asked City Electrician Schurberg to figure on putting in a municipal electric light plant he said that it would require $250,000, including a suitable site, etc. Of this sum he calculated that it would require $75,000 for the machinery. There would, of course, be the regular yearly expenses of salaries, coal, etc., to say nothing of the depreciation on the machinery, which would not be less than 10 percent a year.
Now, with the canal in operation, all that would be required would be a small "house," centrally located, containing a switchboard, run by one night and one day man. The city would have no trouble arranging a "suitable price per annum for the power, and its only other expense would be in keeping up its lines and supplying the carbon candles. There would be at least $175,000 saved over the price of establishing a city plant, and a great saving over what is now charged for the lights by the company having the contract. This is only one reason why we should all vote "yes" on the bonds.
GEORGE N. HICKS.
ARLINGTON, Neb., Oct. 26. To the Editor of The Bee: You have frequently printed articles from Mr. Otis Turner on the subject of good roads. It is evidently Mr. Turner's intention to better the condition of Douglas county by these improved roadways. The county is in a terrible condition, he says, by reason of these wretched roads of ours, and we will never progress or amount to anything until these roads are fixed up according to his ideas. He has created several systems of well-drained, substantial wagon roads, but he has evidently misunderstood the temper of the people at this county. They do not want good roads; they do not want to progress; they want to be left alone in their mud. Their fathers' wagons broke down in this mud; their own wagons have broken down, and they hope to see their children's wagons there hub deep. They love the mud.
Then, there is an insurmountable objection to all Mr. Turner's plans for crushed stone roads. The supply of stone is very limited, and I am told that there is collecting to be so much banking done next year that there won't be any left for roads. My friends, it is easy to play roulette with other people's money, but when you come to building stone roads you have got to have a cinch on the stone. JAMES M'AU6LAND.
OMAHA, Oct. 27. To the Editor of The Bee: I find that unintentionally I have been guilty of a serious error in my statements concerning the cost of steam power in Omaha. In an article in last Sunday's Bee, I stated that the cost of steam power in quantities of fifty horsepower and upwards was from $260 to $67.75 per horsepower per annum "on the basis of a continuous run." I find that this is not correct; that I should have said on the "basis of ten hours per day and 308 days per year." Therefore, the cost of steam power as compared with the cost of canal power in that article was quite incorrect.
I desire to make this correction, as I do not wish to permit an unwarranted statement to emanate from my fair and unbiased articles. In the Regular Service in Omaha, announced yesterday:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27, (Special Telegram.) The retirement of Colonel Louis L. Langdon, First artillery, is announced. First Lieutenant Charles J. T. Clarke, Tenth infantry, will proceed to Fort Reno.

BAN AGAINST A TARTAR.
Mrs. Bradberry, 1327 North Seventeenth street, had a struggle with a burglar at 3 o'clock yesterday morning and still bears the marks of the encounter.
According to Mrs. Bradberry's story, she was awakened about 3 o'clock by a noise in her room. As she rose up in bed, she discovered a man standing at her chamber opening, the drawers. The woman screamed and leaped out of bed. As she landed on the door, the thief grabbed her throat and forced her back on the bed and tried to choke her. Mrs. Bradberry is quite a strong woman and made a resistance. During the melee, she scratched the burglar's face with one hand, as the other hand he had loose, and by kicks and scratches managed to make the thief loosen his hold on her throat.
Yesterday the woman was confined to her bed. She shows black and blue marks on her neck where the robber's fingers pressed, and several scratches on her face.

ARGUING FOR THE CANAL
City Engineer Discusses the Whole Question at a SCHEME AS PROVED ADVOCATED
Minimizing It Is Thirty to One for the Manurno-Metallic of the Canal
All Complaints About Curgurgist Out.
A good-sized audience gathered at Boyd's theater last night to hear City Engineer Rosewater discuss the Platte river canal reject and the benefits that might arise should the $1,000,000 of county bonds be voted at the coming election and the canal constructed as contemplated by the promoters, meter 3, and incorporators of the canal company.
Preliminary to discussing the general question, Mr. Rosewater explained the power of water and steam when under control. He also described the manner in which the volume of water in the Platte and Elkhorn rivers had been measured. Since 1873, there had never been so small a quantity of water as during the season just passed, this season the rainfall in the country drained by the Elkhorn and the Loup fork being from 60 percent to 100 percent less than in former years. But with this small quantity of water, when the measurements were taken a short time ago, the flow was shown to be more than 1,400 cubic feet per second, or double what would be required to produce the power contemplated by the canal promoters.
The Missouri river, Mr. Rosewater showed, could not be utilized for canal purposes. He explained that the flow of the Missouri river was 30,000,000 cubic feet, with a velocity of four feet per second. To get a canal out of the Missouri river, there would not be sufficient velocity, for the reason that the canal would have to carry as much water itself, as the fall would not be sufficient, there being a fall of but a few inches per mile, while in the Platte the fall was six feet per mile. Taking up the whole of the water in the Missouri river, theoretically, it would develop only 852 horsepower.
On the proposed canal, the fall of the water at Seymour park would be 135 feet. Scouting the theory that the Platte was devoid of water, Mr. Rosewater said that it was true that at times there was but little visible upon the surface, but below there was a strong underflow. At Kearney last year, the people voted $60,000 in bonds to aid in paying the cost of enlarging the Kearney canal from 2,1300 to 9,000 horsepower, notwithstanding the statements of Judge Gaslin to the contrary. Had the citizens of Kearney considered their canal a failure, they would never have incurred an additional indebtedness of $60,000. The city engineer of Kearney had written that there was no water flowing in the river, but the flow was as great as when the canal was constructed, the flow being 100 feet per second.
In Kearney, the canal furnished the power for operating twenty-two manufacturing establishments, the electric light plant, and the street railway. The statements made to the effect that the Kearney canal was a failure had been made without an investigation.
GASLIN.
Regarding the statements made by Judge Gaslin, and which recently appeared in The Bee, Mayor Brady wrote:
"That portion of the Judge's letter referring to the cost of the Kearney canal is, I think, practically gone, but his observations and conclusions are wholly incorrect. After a residence of twenty-seven years in Kearney, I am convinced that the Kearney canal is a success, in fact, it furnishes 90 percent of all the water now used in the city. We believe that by proper management, a full supply of water can be obtained all year round. The water in the Platte is low, but there is plenty of water in the canal for all purposes. The Judge, in the conclusion of his letter, leaves the impression that the city of Kearney, last spring, voted $60,000 in bonds to help the canal company out of a hole. Generous city! The fact is, the people of Kearney, being convinced that the canal was a necessity, voted $60,000 in bonds to aid the canal company to make it a creature success, to enlarge the canal to width, thirty-five feet on the bottom with a uniform depth of 12 feet, and to furnish at the power house 9,000 horse power. The bonds have been sold and the work is progressing rapidly. To prove that the citizens and taxpayers of Kearney believe and know that the canal is a success, I have but to state that at the election last spring when the question of voting $60,000 in bonds to aid in enlarging the canal was submitted, 1,096 votes were cast in favor of the proposition and only 18 against the proposition. I am pleased to state that the Kearney cotton mill has not shut down for good as Judge Gaslin states. On the contrary, operators are arriving daily and every preparation is being made to have it running at its full capacity within thirty days, as I am informed by the superintendent."
Denying the Judge Gaslin statement, Mr. R. W. Hovey, a prominent investor of Kearney, wrote:
"I do not endorse the statement of Judge Gaslin. The Kearney canal is no experiment; it has fully demonstrated its usefulness and value as a motive power, besides being of untold wealth to the thousands of acres which have received abundant nourishment through the medium of irrigation. The present year we all know has been an exceptionally dry one, the flow of the Platte being greatly diminished over former years. In addition to that, operations have been commenced on the enlargement of the canal, and before the work of the head gates and the rising basin had been completed, work was suspended, pending the negotiation of bonds. While in this condition, there was a scarcity of water in the canal. This, however, will always be obviated when the work now in progress shall have been completed. The Kearney canal, which furnished an unlimited supply of water power, will ultimately make our city the manufacturing pride of the Platte Valley in central Nebraska. The work of completing the enlargement is being prosecuted as rapidly as men and money can accomplish it, and if I had proven a failure, this would not be done."
During this dry season, the required quantity of power could be developed, Mr. Hovey contended that it would be safe to say that the canal is up to the task and always does what was promised. Touching upon the subject of the cost of producing steam and other power as quoted by Curtaca C. Turner recently, Mr. Hovey proved to the satisfaction of the audience that the gentleman was mistaken. The steam power in Omaha, Mr. Rogowater showed, was expensive at the present time, costing the street milling and other large establishments fully 50 percent more than the proposed rate to be charged by the canal company. At the present time, it was costing twelve horsepower engines $135 per horsepower per annum, while the charges provided by this proposition would be $50 per horsepower per annum, and would continue along through the list. Mr. Turner had pasted the figures much higher, but it was apparent that he had made his figures to influence the public.
TOWER OF POWER CHEAP.
Headings from Bellcrest Journals upon the subject of power, Hovey contended that the highest rate which the canal company would be allowed to charge would be much lower than that at which power could be developed in the area and throughout the coal regions. In California, they were constructing a canal which would develop cheap power, making the cities through which it would pass the greatest manufacturing centers. There the canal company proposed to charge $60 per annum for a single horsepower, while here the maximum rate was to be but $55 per year to the consumer.
Last year, Mr. Hovey said, he opposed the canal proposition. At that time there was no agreement as to what the rates should be. In fact, at that time the interests of the people were not guarded. Since that time the objectionable features of the proposition had been eradicated, and now the proper safeguards had been thrown about it for the interests of the public. The speaker advocated municipal ownership of the canal, as well as all other franchises of a like nature. The proposition provided that the canal could be purchased by the city, the company agreeing upon a plan.
The indebtedness of the company was amounting to $2,000,600, and upon purchase, the $1,000,000 to be donated by the people would be deducted, the public losing nothing but the interest. Objections to the proposition this time, Mr. Hovey thought, came with bad grace, owing to the fact that the subject was before the county commissioners for weeks, and at that time nothing was said detrimental to the canal.
Outlines of the Elkhorn and Platte rivers were shown by the aid of a stereopticon, showing that there was a good flow of water in both of the rivers.
The canal, Mr. Hovey said, in his mind was not in the interest of any one man or any set of men, it was a public enterprise and would benefit any property owner. If the enterprise was carried out, it would benefit some more than others, but even the man with a single house would be benefited in proportion.
In time, as more navigation ditches were constructed, water would be absorbed, but from 30 to 60 percent would go back into the soil feeding the streams again. In the ordinary way, but 10 percent of the rainfall flowed into the streams. The balance going into the soil. If the 20,000 horsepower of the two rivers were utilized in Omaha there would be built up a monument that would last for all time to come. If the company filed for a certain number of cubic feet, no man could go above the canal and cut off that supply, which fact made it impossible to take away the water for irrigation purposes, leaving the company without the quantity which it claimed. The canal itself would cost from $1,500,000 to $3,000,000, the canal proper costing about $1,000,000, with the balance of transmission and electrical appliances.
SALVATION OF THE MIKE AVIS.
As Boswell was indisputably king of biographers or Shakespeare of poets, so was Rembrandt of etchers. Etching, although considered co-ordinate with painting by some of the greatest masters, had fallen into decay and decrepitude until the present generation of genuine artists in France, England, and the United States revived it.
These works of the needle are increasing greatly in value and the success of the etching appears, in many instances, to be due more to the artistic quality of the work rather than to the pleasing character of the subject, which proves that the taste for this delightful department of art is growing in cultivation and its position in art is already assured.
It was less than two years ago that the art world lost one of its best artists of the needle in the death of Charles Emit Jaquet. His important canvases are, for the greater part, owned in Chicago, and although a painter of unquestionable talent, he is better known to the world as an etcher, and he was one of the first to contribute to the revival of the art in France. His earlier works in this line are known to be somewhat affected and effeminate, but later, when depicting subjects that he had a strong affection for, his work became more robust. It was the privilege of the writer to know the man and artist and to visit at intervals his atelier at Paris and also the little flower-bedecked studio at Barbizon, where he often sought rest and quiet after a laborious winter in the busy French capital. He was a man of highly nervous and sensitive temperament and had not been in vigorous health for many years before his death.
He would sit for some time by the open grate-fire shivering, wrapped up in such a way that only his nose and a bit of his mustache remained visible. When he became interested in conversation, he would unwrap, throw aside his wraps, and suggest a long walk in the forest. At Barbizon, he showed me his portfolio filled with many of his youthful attempts at engraving and etching, from his very infancy down to its later day completeness.
Jaquet's early ideas of affected elegance in rustic scenes soon gave way to homelier subjects. Many woodcuts in his studio at Paris bear witness to the change of manner even before Millet had produced his first real peasants. The influence of these two great artists on each other was very strong, and Jaquet rediscovered in rural life the strength and pictorialness of the peasant in the field which his etchings show us. He loved to watch the cattle grazing and study their movements, and I have seen him talking with the shepherds and at the same moment fixing his eye intently upon a drove of sheep hard by. Cattle and sheep were sympathetic subjects to him, and in his etchings, we can trace his intense devotion to the rural life around him. His life was spent in France, and a large number of the plates he showed me were executed from sketches made in Burgundy, the etcher's paradise.
In looking at some of Percy Moran's work, I am forcibly reminded of Jaquet. There is a striking similarity of treatment and when I make this bold assertion, I do not feel that I am taking from the French artist any of the laurels which the world of art grants him, but rather prove his worth by comparing another honored name with his. Percy Moran's etchings display the same delicate effect, the same soft shadows, and the same happy story of rustic life. He shows us people and things as they are in nature. His shepherds are real shepherds and his cows and sheep exist for us outside of the copper plate. The attitude and movement of his animals are novel, unstrained, but free and natural. He represents the shepherd's dog, grown old in faithful servitude, in the most touching manner. For background, he employs a bit of country landscape, a farm house with thatched roof, a winding road and stream, quiet, harmonious, restful. His subjects appear familiar to us, we seem to know the spot, and even the shaggy shepherd dog looks at us appealingly as if we, too, were not strangers.
The "peasant painter," as Millet was affectionately termed, has taught us to recognize his gleaners, but none have told us more truthfully of sheep in search of grass or cattle grazing than Percy Moran. His two pieces, "Cattle" and "Sheep," in the present collection of art now on exhibition in the library building are loaned by Mr. Charles A. Coe, who also owns "May and December," by S. J. Ferris, another etcher who has achieved well-deserved recognition and whose artistic work will bear comparison with much of the famous work of Jaquet. His plate is never overloaded with unnecessary and unexpressive lines, every detail is distinct and delicate, and there is a crisp quality of tone which is very satisfactory. He chooses his subjects with care, and in the one before us there is such a halo of sunshine above and around her that we long to catch the brightness of those laughing eyes and tell her how sweet we think her. What could be more charming than the look of perfect joy and trust depicted on the smiling countenance of the young girl as she nestles up close to her grandfather and leans her pretty head against the old man's wrinkled face? It is a glimpse of tender sentiment, a blending of the two extremes of life, old age and youth. It is a picture which calls forth one's best emotions of the heart.
Mrs. Edward A. Cooley contributes "Harvest Home," by Leopold Lowenstamm, a strong etching after the well-known painting by Alma Tadema. A party of workers in the field have come to offer their libations of wine and other products at the altar upon which the incense is burning. At its base are jugs and jars filled with the offerings made for a successful harvest. The interest at once centers upon the dancing figure of the woman in the foreground. A musician crowned with laurel leaves is piping a joyful air, while near him are other musicians and workers who are watching the graceful dance of the woman before them. The background is filled in with sheaves of golden wheat.
"A Warm Day," by Ferdinand Chaigneaux, shows us a delightful example of the French School of etching. This picture received honorable mention at the Paris Salon in 1892 and embodies in its treatment the same methods employed by the present-day etcher to obtain soft effects and delicacy of tone. We see a long stretch of level ground, a few sheep nibbling at dry blades of grass, the weary shepherd drinking from a gourd, and a tired dog resting by his side. This is all there is in the picture, yet one can feel the oppressive atmosphere of a hot summer day. The ground is parched and dry, the heat is clearly to be felt, and the meekness of its influence permeates the picture, which is loaned by Mrs. George D. Lake.
I cannot close this hurried review of etchings without mentioning the very excellent pen and ink drawings done by Mr. Mark O. Pollock, who contributes several etchings which show more than ordinary talent in this branch of art. Among the clever sketches which he contributes are three which are especially fine. We Are Not Interested in selling coal, but when you call upon us with the idea of buying a stove, we are interested in showing you a stove that will do its work with a peck of coal where other stoves eat up bushels of it. There is a big saving for you if you buy the Radiant Home and it saves you at least a ton of coal the first winter, that's about $10, and you have the same amount saved each winter afterwards. We have customers who use the Radiant Home that tell us they have saved enough coal in two winters to pay for their stove. Milton Rogers & Sons, Sole Agents. 14th and Farnam Sts.
Strong "Portrait of Karlina," "Lady at the Opera" and "Head of Philip II," from a portrait by Velázquez. The first of these shown, a bow itching little Dutch face screened in a big, sharp pointed Dutch bonnet tied under the chin with wide, flaring bow, her face strong and one can imagine what a quaint little lady she must be in the flesh, for the catalogue tells us the portrait is from life. The second and perhaps the cleverest subject in his collection is "Lady at the Opera." A beautiful woman in fashionable attire of the day, with high Spanish comb, rests her chin against a well-molded face in a bow at the opera. Every detail of the head and arm, every little mystery of the dress is mastered with minute fidelity and there is a brilliant boldness in the lines which gives the sketch vigorous tone. "Head of Philip II" shows us the strong face of that monarch in velvet cap and wide rolling collar. Here also the young artist distinctly emphasizes his ability for portrait work, he is quick at catching the expression of the face, as witnessed in his clever portrait of Victor Hugo. The distinguished French writer is seated with folded arms and wears that modest, kindly look which was always present with him. The drawing is made after the last photograph taken, at an advanced age, and the young artist has caught the true spirit of it and given us the author of "Les Misérables" precisely as he appeared the year before his death. But I would warn the amateur, whether he be working in what is known as dry point, or pen and ink, not to overload his plate or paper with unnecessary lines. No line not absolutely necessary should ever be drawn. KITTY W. COLLINS.
EXHIBITION OF SCULPTURE AND PAINTING.
Washington, Oct. 27. (Special Telegram.) The first official action as a result of the fierce prairie fires now raging in Nebraska was taken today, when the Indian office telegraphed to the Indian agent at Pine Ridge Agency, S.D., instructing him to permit Dartlett Richards of Chadron, Neb., to pasture his cattle on the reservation. This action on the part of the Indian office was in response to a telegram received from Richards, who has the contract of furnishing 4,500 head of cattle to the Pine Ridge Agency, stating that his property is in imminent danger of being destroyed by the fire, and asking permission to herd his cattle on the reservation.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Drowning said that the contract did not contain such stipulations, and that it was not the usual custom to grant such permission to contractors, but that favorable action had been taken in this case in view of the extent of the fire. The permission granted will extend for two or three months, Commissioner Browning also stated that he did not contemplate any further trouble or inconvenience as a result of the Nebraska fires.
The following Nebraska postmasters were appointed today: Maywood, Frontier county, W.M. Stewart, vice D.S. Freeland, resigned; Pickrell, Gage county, C.K. Pethoud, vice J.W. Moore, removed.
Iowa postmasters have been appointed as follows: Angus, Boone county, Bessie Common, vice Enoch Lewis, resigned; Franklin Station, Lee county, Charles Lederer, vice O.F. Lederer, dead; Lofty, Mahaska county, T.B. Kitching, vice A.P. Barnes, resigned.
Postmasters were commissioned today as follows: Frank C. Thorpe, Wauneta, Neb.; John J. Liddy, Littleport, la.
NEW TRAVERSE EXCHANGES.
Further New Arrangements for Returning Paper Currency.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. United States Treasurer Morgan today gave out for publication, a circular just issued by him, of special interest to banks, on the subject of the issue and redemption of currency. Only in a few instances have any changes been made in the circular of June 4, 1833. Among the important changes, however, is the increased rate allowed the United States Express company under a new contract for the transportation of moneys and securities of the United States. The rate between Washington and points reached by the express company is increased from 15 cents per $1,000 or fractional part thereof over 1600 to 29 cents. In sums of $500 or less the rate is 10 cents remains. Between Washington and points in the territory of another company excepting points in Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and the Indian Territory, the rates are increased from 40 cents and 30 cents to 60 cents, and 40 cents. To all other points the charges remain the same. Another change made is that only in cases where the express charges on remittances have been prepaid will the treasurer issue transfer checks on the assistant treasurer payable to the order of the sender or his correspondent.
Under the head "returns for paper currency" an entirely new regulation is made as follows: For remittances received under the government contract: For remittances from a place where there is no sub-treasury, returns will be made in new United States paper currency by express at the expense of the consignee at government contract rate, or in fractional silver coin at the expense of the government for transportation in sums or multiples of $100. For remittances from a place where there is a sub-treasury, returns will be made, in new United States paper currency by express at the expense of the consignee at government contract rates, or subject to the convenience of the Treasury in the treasurer's transfer checks on the sub-treasury on the place from whence the remittance came. No exchange for remittances of currency to the treasurer for redemption under the government contract will be furnished. Returns by traveler checks or ships.

This company comes to the Fifteen

"Friends , " the charming comedy drama

theatrical ventures of this season. No pi

OMAHA , Oct. 27. To the Editor Of Th
Beer The rumors have been and are cor
stantly spreading about the St. Paul's churc
lawsuit , and people perhaps think that It
the whole congregation that harmonizes wit
the suit. Not o , for there arc only thirl ]
five Ignorant nnd cspcc ally one Ignoramus-
persons who try to get everything their ow
way and the property under their person ;
direction. Wo are and always have been i
about 105 parishioners who have always sir
ported the church , while they who ore tr ;
Ing to run everything consist of about thlrt ;
flve people who never paid anything , ar
not as they quoted on July 25 , 1881 , "Oi
side la composed of about 100 parlshtonci
who have always supported the church , whl
the other aide consltts of about twenty-five ,
\Vo simply throw defiance at them for th
statement. They claim that they have bee
swindled. Who ever respects and hone
that know them ? It Is simply the coi
trary How can nny sensible person b
Have that these thirty-five people nre on tl
right path and the 165 on the wrong ? Thei
thirty-five people managed , when they sa
they could not swindle the congregation ar
more through deceltfulnees , to get rid i
the lawful priests that labored for their hai
plness and welfare , and secured an unknow
man by the name of Stanislaus Kamln , wt
knows nothing about our church matter
to hold services for them , thereby severlr
themselves from the b shop's control nr
calling themselves Independent. They dee
themselves Independent from the pope , t )
bishops and all authorities o the Home
Catholic church.
Should we , by far the majority , as sa
before , abandon the church In which y
have worshiped In the faith of our father
Emphatically , no ! Wo shall try to ha-
an Injunction on the church until all the
troubles are settled. Wo give them ccrta
time to remove from the premises , and
not we shall force them by law , If there
nny' law at all. Should tills majority ylc
to thefce thirty-five people ? About July 2
1891 , these thirty-five people stated In tl
World-Herald : "Tho church property w
purchased and the bu'ldlngs erected nnd pa
for by the parishioners before we ever h
a priest. " This , we say , Is untrue , ai
from this one must judge , that everythli
was in readiness , only to secure a prle
and have services held. First of all tlir
lots were purchased , but not entirely pa
for , and as there was no church on the
the congregation rented a vacant hou
from Metz Bros. , and only then secured
priest. This pastor was selected by t :
congregation ns their guardian of nil thins
ami only then the erection of the chun
building was begun. We , the underslgne
uphold all the above statements.

Shlverick's Oclabir Sal * | LONDON THEATERS CROWDED
People Are Back from the Country and Seek Amusement at Home
GILBERT'S NEW OPERA AT THE LYRIC
Statue of Uranus Lerna in the realm
Muse Hull Injures that Home from
Clair to Hone (Vigilance Committee Implied)
(Copy revised 1894 by the Associated Press.)
LONDON, Oct. 27. After a period of wintry weather, London has been enjoying a few springlike days. This, coupled with the fact that people are nearly all back from the country, has served to crowd the leading theaters. At the Criterion, for instance, it has been impossible to buy seats except in advance, and the same may be said of the Comedy theater, the Court, the Adelphi theater, and a few other places of entertainment. In fact, in some of these places of entertainment it has been impossible to buy seats even a few days ahead.
On the other hand, the continued crusade against granting a "drinking auditorium license" to the Empire theater has served to draw the biggest crowds to that place of entertainment that ever gathered in a theater. The London county council has stood firm in its refusal to grant a license, much to the satisfaction of the religious bodies, which have been holding special prayer meetings on the subject.
The principal dramatic event of the week is tonight's premiere of "His Excellency" at the Lyric theater, and it may be added that Mr. W. S. Gilbert has provided part of stimulating advertisement for this comedy opera, which he has written in conjunction with Dr. Osman Carr.
The week opened with Mr. Gilbert sending to the press a letter stating that a certain Comtesse de Bremont had applied to him for an interview, to be published in St. Peter's Minn. He added that he was unwilling to put himself at the mercy of the good will and discretion of the lady, who is known by repute, and replied that "The terms of an interview are 20 guineas." The Comtesse de Bremont, treating this letter as a specimen of Gilbert's humor, replied: "I anticipate the pleasure of writing your obituary for nothing." It is understood that the Comtesse de Bremont has her residence in Cincinnati, O., and she doubtless has German blood in her veins, for she has placed Mr. Gilbert's letter in the hands of solicitors.
The de Bremont Incident had hardly subsided before Messrs. Gilbert and Edward Solomon made an application for an injunction to restrain the Star from continuing to publish an account of the plot of "His Excellency" had been given to the newspaper men by an employee of the theater.
The ground on which this application was made was that the publication of the opera would ruin the rights of the play in the United States. The Court of Chancery granted an ad interim injunction.
WHAT KALING MAY MEAN.
The production of "His Excellency" has been awaited with considerable interest by those who are desirous of knowing how well W. S. Gilbert and Dr. Carr will work in double harness. In the event of a failure, the production of "His Excellency" may be immediately precedent to a reconciliation between Gilbert and Sullivan. Below the surface, there is much moving in this direction.
The action of the story passes at Elsinores, Denmark, and deals with a freak of a prince recent, who passes himself off as a strolling player, and in that disguise plays many a prank upon the people over whom he ruled, naturally in strict accordance with the laws of the country, lying within the domain of comic opera. The romantic interest which is detailed in the satire of the piece is concerned with the love of a young sculptor for a ballad singer. Of the sculptor's handiwork, an example will be presented on the stage, which is said to have cost £200 to construct. The opera is, of course, in the Gilbertian two-act form, with the scene of the first being the market place at Elsinores, that of the second, the court yard of the castle, of the same Danish town. For historical reasons, the period of the play is fixed in 1607, and it has been prophesied about London that the play was to be a success.
J. A. Dam's "The Shopgirl" is in rehearsal at the Gaiety theater. Mr. Dam described it as "a musical comedy, written around the army and navy headquarters." Grace Hawthorne has gone with a company to India for a tour which may continue around the world. She opened in "Fedora" at Calcutta on November 10, and will follow the Russian story with Sardou's later work "Theodora."
The Carl Rosa Opera company proposes to produce at Christmas time Humperdinck's fairy opera "Hansel und Gretel," the German "Babes in the Woods," which proved such a success in Germany. The libretto will be put into English by Constance Page.
TATI FINDS A PRODIGY.
The next promised musical prodigy is a worker, John W. Williams, who has been covered by Tati, and who will be brought out by her at the divans on November 26 in Albert Hall. Tati says Williams has a wonderful voice.
Mr. Harris reopens the Garrick theater tonight with "Money," and with practically the same cast as before, except that Miss Millet and Arthur Houmchez will appear in it.
When "Queen of the Brillants" is in at Abbey's theater, New York, it will principally be a new piece, as far as the libretto is concerned, and there will be some new numbers by Jakobowski. When Mr. Abbott, upon presentation of the piece, found that the book was practically a flat failure, he commissioned H. J. Barnes to rewrite it. In this connection, Mr. Dam says: "To correct another's work is a delicate matter and I have no desire to make capital out of it, have reconstructed the "Queen of the Brilliants," putting in a strong dramatic plot, as the spectacle needed, The new numbers include two solo songs for Miss Russell, one of them being a slumber song to which she goes to sleep before the tableaux. There are also two new solos for Hubert Wilkie, a duet for himself and Miss Russell, the changes have not interfered with the spectacular groupings and ensemble movements which will be given in New York just as they were first seen in London. The result looks well in its present shape, if I may say so, and Miss Russell and Jakobowski are slated with it. It only needed dramatic interest and some comedy, and has these now, in its present shape, should give New York plenty to talk about.
The action of the London county council regarding the Empire theater, and the citation of Manager Edward Moss to close that establishment, eclipses all other topics in London today, even including the Russian crisis and the reports regarding the health of the czar. The newspapers of the city devote pages to the Empire theater citation, and all of them have editorials upon the subject.
At the end of the performance at the Empire theater last night there was a most exciting scene. The vast audience assembled continued standing for half an hour, singing and cheering Mr. Edwards and hissing the London county council and Mr. Ormerod of the Vigilance association.
Sir. Herbert Tree's next production at Haymarket theater will be London CI, a new play, which the London press announced as "Two Men and a Woman," which Mr. Tree wrote. The Asticlod will be called, when produced, a Novel by John of Dreams. This particularly strong part, says Mr., "is equally good for Patrick Campbell, who will, with O'Connell, make her first appearance at Haymarket. If it is successful, you know I shall include it in my American tour," although he has not yet decided. "I think it not improbable that I shall go with the 'Third Monger' and the 'Lamp,' at played before her majestically in the engagement, I shall be seen as both Fletcher and Flatterson, as well as in several other parts familiar to London. I am not going to America simply for dollars. I was conquered by the good opinion of American generals," Launay and her company will arrive in New York today on board the American steamship Paris. Among the members of this company are Beatrice Shaw, Leclercq, and Mrs. V. T. Lovell, Frank Letton, Ivan Williams, Williamson, Weatherby, and others.
During her American tour, Mrs. Launay will rely upon society plays at first, or later upon Shakespearean productions. She hopes to open in New York, if it is possible, to get a theater there, but her program is unsettled.
IN OMAHA'S THEATERS.
What People May Inspect to See Ben in the Carnival This Week.
A new play which has already made pronounced hits will be seen at the Dodge theater Tuesday and Wednesday night when the quaint comedian, Willie Collier, supported by a carefully selected company, will present Edward E. Kildare's comedy drama, "A Back Number." As a rule, the public does not care to attend a performance of a new play, but prefers to see the pruning process. At the close of the season, Hess and Hess company took the play for four weeks, two of which were in Boston. The reception was so favorable that Mr. Collier determined this season to put farce comedy behind him and go into more, legitimate lines. "A Back Number" was found just what he designed. Mr. Collier believes in laughter, but in the new play, no stage device nor ludicrous make-up is adopted to provoke mirth; it depends alone on his ability as a comedian. Willie Collier as Ben and Ike Benin is the same Willie Collier one meets on the street. He merely dresses appropriately for the two parts, nothing more. The story is laid in an Ohio village.
It may be said that there is no claim made by the author of "A Back Number" as to plot; it was simply constructed to amuse and entertain the public, which enjoys a hearty laugh. High-class singing, clever specialties, and pert dancing of all descriptions are on the program. The company which appears in "A Back Number" has been selected with care, and expense has been spared by the management to secure the very best artists that money and an active ambition to have the best could procure.
This company comes to the Fifteenth Street theater for four nights, beginning with a matinee this afternoon.
"Friends," the charming comedy drama that brilliant young playwright Edwin Milton Royle, is one of the assured successes of this season. No play of recent years has met with such uniform praise as this delightful production, last season it received the unqualified approval of the press and public of this city as presented by Messrs. Edwin Milton Royle, Clitus Henderson, Harry Allen, E. D. Rye, and Selena. Fetter Royle. It will be seen here again Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the Boyd, and is certain to duplicate former triumphs. "Friends" is one of the few plays that can successfully bear repetition.
Right or wrong, the tariff bill passed by the last senate and congress has certainly reduced the price of dry goods. A striking example of this is the advertisement of Hayden Brothers on the ninth page; anticipating possibly the same degree of protection they had enjoyed under the McKinley bill or a continuance of that protection in case of a disagreement amongst the Solons in Washington, the eastern factories continued to manufacture and pile up thousands of cases of goods designed for fall trade. It had been the custom for years, and was necessary practice, because the jobbers, or large retailers, like Hayden's, had heretofore anticipated their wants, and ordered in what they needed for October trade. This year it was different, and shrewd merchants waited to see the result of the Willis bill, which, as is well known, reduced the cost of all woolen dress goods, bank checks, hosiery, in fact, all dry goods, 33 to 40 percent. Hayden Brothers were strictly on their toes, and were in a position to take advantage of the decline by making all their purchases during the last two weeks at the lowest prices ever known. While this applies to all their departments, yet the most marked reductions and stupendous bargains are in dress goods from the auction sale of celebrated Arlington mills, held in New York on October 17. Read about them on the third page, and visit Haydens', the universal wonders next week.

What is meant by 16 to 1, as used by politicians in reference to gold and silver coin? SUBSCRIBE!
The legal ratio of silver to gold in the United States is 16 to 1, or, as it is commonly for convenience stated, 16 to 1. This means that by law and for purposes of coinage, sixteen ounces of silver is equivalent to one ounce of gold. Thus, there are 371.25 grains of pure gold in the gold dollar, or 5760 grains or pure silver in the silver dollar. The present commercial ratio of silver to gold is about double the coin ratio.
Next Saturday evening, Wasa lodge 163, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, celebrate its fourth anniversary with an entertainment, concert, and ball at "Washington" hall. Several well-known Odd Fellows will speak on the occasion, and a good time is promised.
On Friday and Saturday, the teachers from four counties were assembled at Stanton; three of the Omaha teachers who addressed them were Mrs. Remington Nottingham, who spoke on "Literature in the Intermediate Grades," Miss Bley on "Physical Culture," and Miss Rettle on "Primary Reading." Dr. Capell removed from Council Bluffs to Omaha. Rooms 16 and 17, Withnell building.

Another Statement of Trouble in St. Paul's Church by a Committee.
CLAIMS TO REPRESENT THE WHOLE CONGREGATION
What the Protestant Fragment Have Acceded
In disputes in the Achurch by the Thirtieth
Individual by Young Women's Christina
Announcement by the Church Committee
OMAHA, Oct. 27. To the Editor of The Bee:
The rumors have been and are constantly spreading about the St. Paul's church lawsuit, and people perhaps think that it is the whole congregation that harmonizes with the suit. Not so, for there are only thirty-five ignorant and especially one ignorant person who try to get everything their own way and the property under their personal direction. We are and always have been about 105 parishioners who have always supported the church, while they who are trying to run everything consist of about thirty-five people who never paid anything, and are not as they quoted on July 25, 1881, "On the one side is composed of about 100 parishioners who have always supported the church, while the other side consists of about twenty-five." We simply throw defiance at them for their statement. They claim that they have been swindled. Who ever respects and honors that knows them? It is simply the contrary. How can any sensible person believe that these thirty-five people are on the right path and the 165 on the wrong? The thirty-five people managed, when they said they could not swindle the congregation any more through deceitfulness, to get rid of the lawful priests that labored for their happiness and welfare, and secured an unknown man by the name of Stanislaus Kaminski, who knows nothing about our church matters to hold services for them, thereby severing themselves from the bishop's control or calling themselves Independent. They consider themselves Independent from the pope, the bishops, and all authorities of the Holy Catholic church.
Should we, by far the majority, as said before, abandon the church in which we have worshiped in the faith of our fathers? Emphatically, no! We shall try to have an injunction on the church until all the troubles are settled. We give them certain time to remove from the premises, and if not, we shall force them by law, if there is any law at all. Should this majority yield to these thirty-five people? About July 2, 1891, these thirty-five people stated in The World-Herald: "The church property was purchased and the buildings erected and paid for by the parishioners before we ever had a priest." This, we say, is untrue, as from this one must judge, that everything was in readiness, only to secure a priest and have services held. First of all the lots were purchased, but not entirely paid for, and as there was no church on the lot, the congregation rented a vacant house from Metz Bros., and only then secured a priest. This pastor was selected by the congregation as their guardian of all things and only then the erection of the church building was begun. We, the undersigned, uphold all the above statements.

Slice in His Barracks
A complaint, charging Thomas Roth with being insane, has been filed with the court of the district clerk. The mother of the young man verifies that he devotes a greater portion of his time to chasing about the house after mice, imagining that he is a cat and has taken a contract to rid the premises of the little animals.
IN THE DISTRICT COURT.
Cases that Are Dramatizing the Attention of Justice and Jurors.
The case of William O. Chute has found its way into the court, where the plaintiff is demanding the sum of $1,000 from J.H. McDonald, alleging that on July 2, of the present year, he was assaulted by the defendant and seriously injured.
In Judge Ferguson's court a deficiency judgment was rendered in favor of John A. Harbach and against the Goodrich Hall Lodge association for the sum of $10,090.13 together with interest. The suit arose by reason of the association failing to pay some debts which were against the Goodrich hall building at Twenty-fourth and Hamilton streets.
Mary Place has asked for a restraining order to prevent her husband, George II Place, from interfering with the control and management of the children, the fruits of an unsatisfactory union.
The alleged contempt case against E. Rosewater, editor of The Bee, was called for trial yesterday, but owing to the fact that the attorneys were not ready to proceed, a continuance was granted until next Thursday morning.
In Judge Blair's court, the jury has returned a verdict in the will case of the heirs of Frederick Schnell against Robert Preston in that at the time when Schnell bequeathed his property to Preston, he was not in his right mind. This reverses the finding of the probate court and cuts the children out of the property.
Judge Baxter has decided the will case in instituted by Mary Shelby, daughter of Joseph Creighton, deceased, holding that at the time of executing the will Creighton was not in his right mind.
In the suit of the Omaha National Bank against J.J. and Rosa Bliss, the Kilkpatrick-Koch Dry Goods company has filed a petition of Intervention, asking that the mortgage from Bliss to his wife for $2,000 be set aside. In this petition, it is alleged that the mortgage is fraudulent, without consideration, and is made merely for the purpose of hindering in the collection of debts due from Bliss.
Judge Baxter has decided that in the fight for the possession of Mamie Gladwin, the father has the prior right to the body of the little one, a girl 12 years of age.
Last week, while the child was attending school in the north part of the city, the mother, Amanda Leach, took the girl away and secreted her for a few days. Soon after that, the father, James Gladwin, secured habeas corpus papers, and aided by the sheriff, took Mamie back to his own home. Ten years ago, the father and mother of the child were divorced, Mamie being given into the custody of the father, with whom she has since remained. Both parties have remarried, and since that time this girl has been the bone of contention.
IN LOCAL ARLINGTON CIRCLES.
Farewell Letter to the Secretary of the Henry Club-Doings.
Ignaz Schreder, who has been the secretary of the beer division of the Omaha Turnverein, and who has filled this position in a manner endearing him to all the members, leaves today for St. Louis, where he expects to engage in his trade. A farewell, which was a complete surprise to him, was tendered him last Wednesday at the regular meeting of the beer club.
On this occasion, Mr. Schreder was presented with the insignia of the society as a token of the high esteem in which he was held. In the course of the evening, several speeches complimentary of the service which Mr. Schreder had rendered were made, and general regret at his leaving was expressed. It is Mr. Schreder's intention in case he does not find St. Louis society congenial to re-embark for Central America, where he formerly resided for several years.

The second theatrical performance at the Turn Hall, combined with a general entertainment, is to be given on the 4th of November.
Among the local composers, whose compositions have attracted attention, is Prof. Dvorak. His "Lincoln Triumphal March" and "Columbus Overture" delighted a number of listeners last Thursday evening.
Wilhelm Lodge, No. 6, U.O.T.B., is providing amusement for its members and friends at a ball in Grube's Hall, Fort Omaha on November 10.

The Burlington Route is a notable exception to the general run of western railroads During a period when railroad building in this country has been almost at a standstill, it has been steadily putting forward in north-western extension and now takes much pleasure in announcing its completion to Billings, Mont., 583 miles from Omaha. At Billings connection is made with the Northern Pacific railroad, and, under a traffic agreement with that company, business of all classes is exchanged there, or, more properly speaking, routed through that point and from every station on or reached via the Northern Pacific and Burlington systems. This New Short Line for that is exactly what it is reduces the distance between Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis and the territory south and southeast of those cities, on the one hand, and Montana, northern Idaho and Puget Sound points, on the other, by from fifty to 473 miles. This becomes an important factor in bringing the vast territory served by the Northern Pacific into closer relationship with the Missouri and Mississippi valleys. Just to illustrate things the New Short Line saves 294 miles between Omaha and Helena, 224 miles between Omaha and Butte, 371 miles between Omaha and Spokane, 54 miles between Omaha and Tacoma, 49 miles between Omaha and Seattle. The New Line has been constructed in most substantial manner. Excellently balanced, laid with the heaviest steel, up to more than the usual number of ties. It equals the best and oldest portions of the Burlington system. People whose opinion is worth having, pronounce it superior to any new track ever built in the western states. The train service will consist of Pullman Sleeping cars, reclining chair cars (seats free), and Standard Burlington Route day coaches, Omaha, and Lincoln to Billings daily. As a scenic route the New Line takes high rank, The rich farms of eastern and central Nebraska; the more sparsely settled country that lies between Ravenna and the boundary line separating Nebraska and South Dakota; the canyons, peaks, and sprawling meadow lands of the Black Hills; the "Devil's Tower," the irrigated districts of northern Wyoming, Glimmer Battlefield, the picturesque windings of the Little Big Horn, the glorious valleys of the great Crow Indian reservation, all these are seen from the car window. Full information relative to the train service, rates or other features of the New Short Line will be gladly furnished upon application to J. Fronds, G. P. A., Burlington Route, Omaha, Neb. Three Last Days, One thousand odd pieces of furniture at half price. Shiverick's October sale. Do You Read About That? The fast time now made by the F. E. & M. V. R.

JCopyrlghUst , IS9I , by McCluro. )
Dr. lUtnon V. Cajal. th eminent Span-
Iih hlstologlst. has , by lift late researches
oft tlio microscopic cells ot the brain , carried
the scientific world a perceptible- step for-
Vffrrd In the solution of that profoundly In
teresting problem , the mechanism of thought.
The practlco of thinking is Indulged In by
all human beings to a greater or lest extent ,
and un increasing percentage or the com
munity arc much Interested In thinking how
they think.
It can scarcely bo said , however , that Dr.
Cdjal's late lecture as delivered to the Hoyal
society would be ot Interest to the majority ,
as It was the lecture of a great expert to an
audience qf experts , was phrased In the
strange mid perplexing polysyllables of a
special rclcnce , and was. moreover , delivered
In French.
Consequently lla points. In the. meagre out
lined furnished through the press , conveyed
llttlo that wag new nnd leas that was under-
8tn.ntl.iblo to the lay mind. It has now been
translated In full , and when perused nnd pen
dered It Is perhaps the most Interesting con
tribution of Us kind that has ever been seen.
HOW DO WE THINK ?
The study of thought action Is one which
can omy be pursued by an investigator who
has mastered the latest principles and steps
In many other studies , and such an equip
ment U eminently the possession of Dr , Cajal.
All that has been learned of cell life , of pro
toplasmic action , of electricity In Its multi
tudinous aspects , of nerve constitution and
ncrvo conductivity , of tha Improved micro
scope and the Inventions bearing upon Its Im
provement , of vital chemistry , of the living
brain as explored by vivisection , and other
ErnnchcH of advancing knowledge must be
facts well In hand , In addition to the- latest
developments and concepts of anatomy and
physiology , before the highest and subtlest
form of vital activity Is explored.
- In all the directions named the special
sciences have boon aggregating facts bearing
On the great problem for the last twenty
years , though nil the kinds of electrical bat
teries now known yet fall to Indlcato what
kind of an electrical battery the brain Is ,
wbllo no photographic plato yet Invented has
remotely suggested the character of memory ,
that figurative photography within one's
head which records and stores all the scenes
qt a lifetime In small masses of living mat
ter , so that they may be recalled nt a mo
'
ment's notlco , and In groupings which pay
no nttcntlon to the lapse ot the years lying
between them.
It has lonjf been known that the brain was
composed of millions of minute cells , varying
from one eighth-hundredth to
oneftvetliou -
uandUi of an Inch In size. The control of
the bodily activities by the cerebellum and the
exercise of the Intellectual powers In the
Bray matter forming the cent of the cerebrum
nave been Indisputably established.
Vivisection has given us a knowledge of the
motor area lying along1 the fissure of Rolando
which has been of Incalculable benefit to brain
surgeons and their patients , and the thought
cells themselves , through the scries of Inven
tions for hardening and straining the brain ,
have- under the microscope , been studied
deep/ ! and successfully .by Investigators ,
wjioso results Dr. Cajal has only carried n
step further onward , That step is important
,
liowever.

Memory * "Is still the" most inexplicable of
facts. The ' physical Brtfanfeatlon or an Idea
remains' about as unexplained as when

'
Itlb'ot'B s.tuny of the diseases or the memory
and ( ho diseases of the .will have. Uirown
light , on general taws ot notion , but have
said nothing us to physical constitution.
The intelligence of living matter is the
elusive mystery before which sclcnca ever
drops Its hands. The fact is that a man's
brain knows far more than the man does.
It does automatically and Intelligently a
thousand things far beyond his own power
and Knowledge. His heart beats , his nerves
conduct , , his. brain acts and his. jvholo bodily
economy is carried on without his volition

Ignorance permit The tenant for a life of
a structure whose Instincts will

far more knowing than his Intelligence , his
study can only group after a. Knowledge of
how the brain

knowing ; why.
But scientist or layman , this question of
the how li ever one of profound Interest
and from the discovery of air and respira ,

oped by Dr. Cajal'a researches , let the reader

these jdcas did not come together , , but in
regular order , though the difference In time
between their respective arrivals' ' In con
sciousness were so minute as lo .bo imper
ceptible. Now , the exact point of their re-
ipectlyo combination the scientist does riot
Ventura to suggest , any more than ho as
sumes to theorize how we became conscious
of the combination.
He deals only with the machinery of this

the other tire thai other observer * have
alrMfil It l.Uo | thrs and vei four layers.
A ll pKUllir cell * nr alt ot the earno char
acter , huwrvir , though ot different sites. Dr.
Cajil makes only one layer of these pyr.i-
mldal cells , which are beyond any doubt
the actualsphcro ot the operations which
constltuto tha highest form ot thought.
LUCE ELONGATED "PVHAM1D3.
They vary In size , an staled , from one-
eight-hundredth to one-five thousandth ot an
Inch. They are- shaped like- elongated pyra
mids , Each ono sends upward to the mole
cular layer on the ourslde a protoplasmic pro
jection , a pltimo of living : matter , which as It
goes upward throws out Any number of
minute microscopic branches , these branches
In turn sending out other branches , more
microscopic , till Ilio ramifying process ends
In even more microscopic spines.
The main shoot upon reaching the surface
branches out Into a minute treelike mass of
fibres , as delicate In comparison with the
microscopic Mem aa the foliage ot a tree
compared with the trunk. Each one of
the tnlllloi.s of pyramidal cells composing
tlllfl layer sendg upwind ono of these plumes ,
and these plumes and their branches arc
an Important pnrt of the materials composIng -
Ing the outer layer. Bach pyramidal cell
also sends a shoot or root downward , passing
through * > th layer.'beloWr and entering the
white matter underneath , which forms the
great bulk of. tlio brain.
Each pyramidal cell also sends out peri
pheral growths horizontally. Betting up nn
Infinity of connections between the cells of
"
that layer , ana many of these peripheral
growths hl o branch upward nnd form parts
In their feathery endings of the outer or
molecular layer.
EXTENSION'S OF LI.VING MATTER.
The layer below the pyramidal cells Is ono
of cells of varying shapes nnd microscopic
sires , the bulk of them being triangular In
form. They nlso send out extensions of liv
ing matter In. all directions , connecting
themselves with each other throughout all
their extentj and , In Infinite complexity , plac
ing them presumably In touch , through the
protoplasmic extensions , with the whole
IUJVT of pyramidal cells. Like the latter ,
the third layer of'cells 1mvo each an exten
sion which passes through the pyramidal
layer to the outer surface , and each also
sends a shoot downward Into the white
matter.
At numberless microscopic points there also
rise , through these two layers , microscopic
offshoots , bundles of nerve fibres from the
white matter passing upward to the surface ,
The molecular , or outside layer. Is thus
primarily composed of an infinity ot nervous
nnd protoplasmic , extensions from the two
layers below , nnd' the white matter Inter
twisted and interwoven in indescribable com
plexity with n microscopic minuteness of de
tail , compared to- which any texture woven
by hands would be gross and glantcsque.
Every minute nervous constituent of It Is
an electrical conductor ot the highest sensi
bility. In addition to the terminals men
tioned there are also interwoven terminals
from the other half of the cerebrum , the com
pleteness and complexity of the connection
between the two'sides of the brain being as
perfect as tlm way In which all the cell
parts of either half are placed In connection
with each other.
From all parts of the brain como micro
scopic conductors to this surface. layer.
From all parts of the body , through their
centers In the brain , Impulses flashing over
the surface of the outer layer reach the
sensitive plumes of the pyramidal cells.
LIKE A TELEGRAPHIC HEADQUARTERS.
Everything that may occur throughout the
body is telegraphed at the same- time to the
brain , to this outer layer , and consequently to
the pyramidal thought cells. All the bodily
labor Is beautifully and equably subdivided ,
nnd beautifully and harmoniously carried on
by the various departments. Nut , as In nil
other well ' -Drgnnlzftl establishments , every
Item of action Is automatically telegraphed
Instantly to headquarters , reported to the
pyramidal seat of consciousness , and thus
forms part of tlmt comparatively mechanical
cell process which we call thought.
The whole constructive scheme seems to be
the aim ot placing every microscopic cell of
the pyramidal layer In immediate contact
with every other cell and every other organ
of brain or body. .And to this end It has
constructed Itself with an ingenuity -which
the word Infinite can alone express.
The thought cells' are not only thus con
nected with , each other , , but nlso , through the
necessities. , ot nourlshmcut , with , the minute
arterial and venous , .systems of the circular
\\on \ by which new blood Is furnished and
waste material is removed. Each ceil Is.
therefore , ' fho seal'of chentlcal action' , . ahd"a
generator 'of what wo call electrical force.
T The 'rdmlfyfng processes of , each cell ap
pear to absorb nutriment as well 'as conduct
Impulses to aad fro , and It these two duties
be subdivided'among - the ramifications the
evidences of the subdivision are so minute aa
to escape the microscope' yet. Dr. Cajal
does not afree with Colgl In making a sharp
distinction based upon form between purely
sensory and purely motor cells , having found
cells of sensation In. motor tracts and -vice
versa.
POLARIZED CELLS , TOO.
That all brain cells are electrical generatnra
to an extent Is undoubted , though some of
tlirm have special transmitting or specially
electric functions. Me finds that In all
centers -whence an excitatory impulse , a
sending of a message. Is known fo come , that
the ceils nro polarized , the nervous Impulse
uniformly entering by way of the pro
toplasmic extension , and being sent out
latterly by an axis cylinder which transmits
It to new protoplasmic apparatus and other
cells.
And In this -way , throughout the -whole
field of the thought centers , the millions cf
cells are , roughly speaking , minute batteries
receiving Imputet > 6 and combining them and
sending off new Impulses to cither traverse
the field qt thought. In new combinations ,
forming ne'w Idraa , or to sweep over the Held
of muscular activity to express In action
the volitional result of the- thought process ,
Ills Idea of the cerebral gray matter Is. In
fact-best convoyed by the metaphor which
he uses. He compared It to a garden filled
with wonderful and diverse growths , In
which the plants , the foliage overhead and
the roots below are Interwoven and Inter
twisted as to form a solid , living mass. The
whole mass Is mndo up of minute electrical
conductors , and through tha electrical garden
an Impulse- from -without or one generated
f10111 within flashes through part or all the
extent of the garden , so that any special
excitation ot any one part Instantly be
comes a general excitation throughout Its
entire extent , a. fact of which all the parts
are equally conscious.
THE .OPTIC NERVE AND MEMORY.
In an address , the now facts of which are
fruitful of new niggeetlonii , and , perhaps , of
new theories , the most Interesting vista of
possibilities opened up la the bearing of Dr ,
Cajal's microscopic study of the optic nerve
upon the mysterious process called memory.
What memory IB and how it is carried on
nobody has yet remotely suggested , All the
late advances in the knowledge of the phe
nomena of jound and of light will , ultimately
assist the solution of the problem , but they
have thrown no clear light upon It as yot.
Dr. Cajal has discovered In tha optic nerve
a certain apparatus whose only use nnd ob
ject can be' to enable the brain or thought
centers to exclt * the retina of the eye from
within. Ordinary sight depends upon the
excitation of the retina from without by light
coming- from objects. It appears now , haw-
over , that tha retina can also be excited from
within ,
this , Indeed , bears out a fact ot common
knowledge , n.i wo often sea with our eyes
shut , sec In our dreams , and in trying lo
remember the appaarince of an object In the
past cloas our eyes ana strain them tn the
effort to recall It to our vision.
The machinery by which this Is carried on
Is a system of centrifugal nerve * lying
within the cptlo ncrvo and running hot frojfi
the eye to the- brain , but from th brain to
the eye. Thay play no pnrt In the pnenorri-
onon of sight , as It takes place frbm without :
torn ; no part of the electrical apparatus of
external vision , as It is fairly Well under
stood.
Their construction shows clearly that they
carry electrical Impulses from the optic cen
tres to the retina , and they end in spongy
ttrtnlnattoiu at the- back of the retina.
\Vhile , according to Dr. Cajal , their Blgnlfl-
cancQ la obicuro , they leave no doubt that
the spectd organ of light can be excited In
two wayf , from within as "well as from
without ,
MEMORY IN TUB RETINA.

memory. Memory Ins been

Any reader who happens to bo Interested
In memory can develop for himself the out
lines of this fact by simple analysis. As
"thought" is the combination In the brain of
any number of special "thoughta , " so "mem-
cry" Is the recreation of any niitnber of
special "memories. "
Suppose that Iho memory under considera
tion Is that of a dancing party which the
reader attended some years ago. The mem
ory -will bo found to bo entirely made up
'
o'f special memories , visual , aural , motor , In-
eluding his muscular actions on the occasion ,
and others comprising all Iho sensations clurK
ing the evening. A large part of It will bo
mido up of words alone. Words nro Just as ;
important to the action of memory as they
are to the action at thought. To remember
what wo did on a special occasion we say
It over to ourselves say It aloud.
ALL OVER THE HODY.
Whether wo employ the organs of articula
tion mutely , from within , or sufficiently to
crcalo sound , thereby uttering the words
aloud , our memory of our past actions de
pends upon our ability to describe them In
words , a fact clearly established by the
power o'f memory In savage tribes , which
varies directly with the "copiousness of their
vocabularies.
The general Illustration of this peculiar
fact , that memory Is located , generally speak
ing , all over the body , and the way.ln which
"memory" Is made up of "memories" Is
thus open to any one , and the rzsearohes of
Dr. Cajal and his colleagues upon these re-

Since Dr. Koch's abortive 'experiments Sn
Inoculation for the cure of consumption ,
science seems to have made no further at
tempt , or , ut any rate , no successful attempt
to discover a permanent remedy for this most
dreaded and fatal of diseases. Pure Nor
weglan cod liver oil , no doubt , is as yet the
best known palliative , but It'cannot bo recog
nised strictly as a remedy , though Its In
troduction to- the world -was Justly looked
upon as n most marvellous advance In
therapeutics , and its use has doubtless served
to prolong the lives of countless thousands. '
The chief objection to the employment of
cod liver oil was Its utterly nauseating taste
and smell. That objection , however , was
after a lapse of time In a degree overcome ,
and the various emulsions and other spe
cially prepared forms. In combination , wl
hypoposhltes. malt extract , etc. , offered the
welcome advantage of being nearly tasteless
as regards the oil and more palatable as far
as medicinal preparations can be made
palatable. It has been given to Dr. T. A.
Slocum , an American practitioner , to effect
a combination of medicinal products whereby
one of the greatest remedial agents In cases
of consumption la for the first time success
fully allied ; with cod liver oil. As to the
curative- properties ot Gualacol no learned
physicians are at variance ; but tt was found
next to impossible to administer It , with sue-
OMB for the reason that patients were rarely
able to retain on the stomach mor * than an
Infinitesimal quantity , so that this most
potent curative was virtually useless.
To find the - means of combining (
this product with coil liver oil
was the object'of Dr , Slocum's experiments
and researches. In this ho has succeeded '
almost beyond his expectations. Not only '
Is the Gualacol Indlssolubly allied with pure
Norwegian cod liver oil , but by a. specla
electrical process the compound Is Ozonized ,
thus adding another -vitalizing element , the
whole forming' an admirable and easily as
similated medicine possessing In the highest
degree the properties considered on patho
logical authority to be essential tn the euro
of consumption and other pulmonary d'seascs. "
It may be both Interesting and useful to
examine more fully into the properties ot the
component parts of Dr. Slocum's remedy
trla Junctn In uno. Those of. cod liver oil
are of course too well known to need de
scription here. Gualacol Is a produci
of pine and beech wood , and a power
ful antiseptic. It Is for the sake of breath
ing In the beneficent exhalations from the
pine trees that to many consumptives flock
yearly to the health-giving , pne-wooded | re
sorts of Switzerland , Germany , elc. , where
the native population is proverbially free
from pulmonary diseases. This , then , Is the
healing principle so successfully introduced
Into the new preparation , with consump
tives the stomach and Intestines contain
myriads ot parasitic baclll ) , which. It Is dla

septic nnd germ destroyer. Now , as to thi

during their absorption into the system. As

as may be. It only remains to be seen from

THE STUYVESANT ESTATE.
But at that time the Stuyvesants were very

this estate very cnrefdlly. and much of this
'original tract still belongs to members of the
family , while part of it is managed as n
whole like the business of a bank or any
commercial concern. ' And within this Stuy-

' I1EOINNING OF THE ASTOR ESTATE.
I allude to the- farm owned In partnership
byst Governor George Clinton and John Jacob
Astor , bounded by Eighth avenue and the
Hudson river and G.tnsevoort street and
Nineteenth street. Mr. Astor had already be
come n rich man before- his first large ven
ture In real estate. Ills previous ventures
Had been In.tho fur ( ratio arid In that he
liad sovcrelgned sway for many years for
like a king he sent his. fleets to the far seas.
Ills armies .of hunters and trappers to unex
plored : countries.
Same of tha people In New York t.iko a
curious kind of pleasure In recalling the
fact that the first John Jacob Astor beat
furs tn New York for 11 a day , when their
grandfathers wore ow"hers of the land. II
iccms to mo that the. period In Aster's ca
reer to Inspire the pride of his descendants
and command the respect of the world Is
that part before he became a great land
owner. As a' merchant" and ns a trapper he
was an enterprising man , more farslghtcd
then his contemporaries , more thrifty , more
onorgetlc , more resourceful. His early
active life was spent In this trade and In
It ho accumulated a fortune that was looked
upon at that time aa collosaal. Ho went
Into real estate because he wanted to In
vest the money he 'had made In furs nnd
looking upon his land purchases purely a&
Investments , ho began a policy that has
l > ? cn continued by his descendants dawn to
' .ho present time. This
policy , it may be
. -emarked , has been usually considered
one
of the most Intense and cruel selfishness ,
Before telling what this policy Is It Is well
to say that It has been , condemned quite
as severely by those who recognize the full
and complete rights of
property as by any
others , for the policy leaves out of account
entirely the responsibility that the owner
ship of property Imposes , the responsibility
to the rest of the community and the obli
gation to assist In all the work that tends
toward neighborhood advancement. Neglect
ing these responsibilities and obligations the
Asters have as owners of real estate In New
York been In a position somewhat analogous
to the m/iii Vho- thought ho kept within the
law Inall Ills' acts nnd consequently out of
Jail , yet falls''to win either the affection or
respect of his -neighbors.
THE.ASTOR POLICY.
There is nothing wonderful In this policy ,
but It Is
remarkable that three generations
should have persisted in It. The first Astor's
active business life was spent In Now York.
at that period when the city was making Ua
first
strides
toward
commercial
supremacy ,
and Its growth was both
steady and rapid.
The shrewd old Germ nti had complete faith
In the development of the town
' , and he saw ,
what'Jt seams diUlcull that any othrrs couM
fall to See , "that
Its growth would be to the
nortjh. . Indeed. , th.ero was no other way for
It. to .grow. So he bought parcels of land
wherever ho could buy to advantage , and
established the policy pf.holdlne on until tha
Improvements of others should make this
land desirable for ibualnese or residence
poses. His polfcy , Vas ' to.ksecure for purr his
Mtate every farthing of 'the uritarned Incre
ment and to refrain from doing a single
thing to earn this advance In value. Ho
was quite within. Iris rights in so , doing , but i "
those
whoso enterprise and whose more |
active Investments
gave Increased value to
his lands did not love the policy any the
more because it was lawful. He would not
sell the vacant lots he held , ncr would he
as a general ' thing reprove them , but he
would lease 'them for '
twijify-ono
or
' forty- i
two years tenants' , who would build what ,
he considered suitable houses. Under th'j ' |
policy ho
converted a. greater part of Ills
wealth Into real estate In New York , and his
lichcs grew with amazing rapidity. The
policy was successfully continued by his son
and his grandsons , and the present masters
of the estate , Th founder's
great grand- . -
eons , William Waldorf Astor and John I
Jacob Astor , pursue It with only
very slight
modifications.
From the "time the first Astor Joined with
Governor Clinton In
purchasing the farms at
the foot of Fourteenth street , the Astora
have been steady and regular buyers of real
estate property until now It is scattered all
over town , from the Daltory to the Harlem
river and way beyond. Though they have
built'hundreds ! of houses
they have built so
llttlo In proportion to their holdings that the
policy of letting others improve their
property has not. been affected. Even the
great hotels put up on Fifth avenue by Wil
liam Waldorf Astor are not considered to be
any marked departure from tha established
policy. Rather than a departure It la but
following the example of the founder , who
built the Astor bouse at Barclay street and
Broadway so long ago , that at that time the
hotel was thought to be on the outskirts of
the town. Whr < n an Astor buys a square of
land In any neighborhood the nearby property
owners consider It Is a misfortune to them ,
for they have learned by experience that this
great estate will do nothing more actlvo i >
than to hold on and await the profits that In
developments by others will bring , A recent
Instance In point was that of the present
John Jacob Astor , who clioso to build a
stable In Madison avenue , though the stable
was distasteful lo the neighbors and In
jurious to their property. No feeling of
nelghborllness could move him ; all he
wanted to know was whether or not he was
within the law.
MANAGEMENT OF THE ASTOIl ESTATE ,
the founder of the Astor estate managed
himself ; thoao who have como since him
have needed assistance and the corps of
clerks , collectors , real estate exports and so
has grown until now It Is a staff like that
a bank or the executive department of a
railway corporation. The large London
estates , such as those ot the dukes of Ilol- by
ford and Westminster , are In a great lo
measure In tracts or districts , where every
thing in sight belongs to the one. landlord ,
but the Astor. properties are scattered all I
over town and therefore cannot be managed
the same way as throe ducal holdings.
The manager of the Aetor estate has given
more than half a century to his work and he
may personally know all ot the properties , as
but the younger men and the owners them-
Blves need la refer to the maps and the
books to aid memory. In buying , In leasing , sco
InsuringIn building , In making repairs do
houses everything Is done according * o a
system that lias grown out of Ihe Astor
policy. Bo long as this adhered to the
Income will probably remain so large thai to
get rid of It would baffle Ihe efforts of the
most rccldfss spendthrift. Dut tha Aston
have never be n of this kind nnd the ruling
generation may bo depended on to take safe ho
care of their own. Nothing less than a and
revolution Is likely to disturb them.
The Vandcrbllta own very valuable real
estate In New York , but their holdings do
not compare with the Asters , nor do they
"
rent to tenants."any great number of houses.
They are not , therefore , among the great
landlord * of the meJrppoHs. I ne

22(1 ( day of .July. IgCI , In tho'morning , all
these commanders were .here ,1 bodily pres ?
bnco living. During that day , as you , Mr.
J'rosUlrnt , . lee vividly , remember ; one of
them , Jlcriierson , , he .young man of finest
talent and brightest earthly prospect , fell
In battle. I have visited his singular tomb ,
sel up there on the field , also the , 'statuolh ,
Washington , and have had a description of ,
the other erected In Clyde , O./Hl's history ,
however. Is everywhere and Ills name does
not need monuments" dflroii , ' stbno"and' mar
ble to keep fresh his memory In lho minds
and 'hearts of the thousand ; } who knew anil
loved him.
On the 27th of July , ftvo days after the
death of Mcl'hereon , I assumed command of
the Army of tha Tennessee , There 'Is
something a little remarkable tn the se
quence of his work and mine , at points
where they came In contact.
He entered the military academy In 1819 ;
HowardIn - 1850. He glilduatcd In 1853 ;
Howard In 1851. He was cadet quarter
master sergeant during hU second class
year ; Howard the same , succeeding him.
Ho waa cadet quartermaster In bis gradu
ating year ; Howard 'the ' same In his. He
was president of the Dialectic society at
West Point In 1852-53 ; Howard , waa his Im
mediate successor also In this.
I did not seek the field command which
McPherson had vacated. No friends
prcs&ed my name upon General Sherman ,
nnd so It. was , Is , and ever will be a special
gratlflaatloiui'to ' my military prifUu tbat J ,
was selected" lor the" high -position.
You will agree with m& that by the time
II had been occupied by so many generals
of distinction some whose ability and repu
tation the world will have difficulty to match
that It was a1 great honor and enhanced
with unusual responsibility.
HOW THE AUMY MARCHED.
The very day I passed from the Fourth
'r > rps to the new command I set tha army
In motion and , we proceeded , General Dodge's
corps leading. Blair's and lagan's following
In order.from.thp field of. their bloody tri
umph , , now called'the. battla field of Atlanta ,
around the rear ot the .Armies of thq Ohio
and the Cumberland to and beyond the then
extreme right ot Thomas' position.Va'vcre
to go across Proctor's creek , ' and Sherman
desired me to march In the usual order of
columns ct 'four stretching out as far as I
might , so as to encompass tlio confederate
works ot Atlanta and gain , If Confederate
Hood , would allow mo to' 'do so , his south
bound railroad track , and thus cut hla vital
com in unl cation. I demurred a little at the
manner of going , and so with Sherman's as
sent changed the order ot. coming Into. line. It
General Dodge had hardly passed Thomas'
Hank when. General Corse being on thp. lead ,
Hodga began skirmishing with the confeder
ate pickets and advance guards , driving them
back. They gttVe way step by step as our
men advanced. General Dodge handsomely
iwung up into line brigade by brigade * com
ing into deployment , as wo would say with
nmaller fro-nt's , 'by division on the left Into
line each successive brigade covered and
protected the rear and then the flank of Its
predecessor. General Olalr , In the aamc
orderly manner , passed beyond Dodger and' led
name nearly Into position , curving up toward
the confederate intrenchmentsr , but hewaited
lor completer adjustment till the daylight
f the 'following morning. Logan unrolled
a similar manner , except that he de
ployed -nearly his entire' corps during the
night , forming a largo angle at the Junction
with Illalr. Wood's division was near Ezra
church , and then came Harrow's , and then
last on the extreme right Morgan L. Smith's ,
commanded In this battle by Llghtburn ,
whose own brigade was on the extreme
right of Smith's division. Each corps had
Its own artillery , but Uiere was no cavalry ,
except a small escort at army headquarters. He
General Sherman , with the view of protect
ing our general communications , caused Gen
eral Thoma-i to send Morgan's division to
TuincrV Ferry at the same time that -we
wore moving. To the same end , 1 had Gen
eral Dodge reinforce Morgan with the Ninth
Illinois mounted infantry. Morgan , so helped
mounted men , waa to watch all the roads
our right and rear , and after his recon-
nolrsanco came back as rapidly as possible to
my right flank. It should bo observed that
confederate works In front ot Thomas ,
Dodge and Illalr were held In force by Har- to
ilee'a corps.
Now In order to make this battle aa plain
possible , we- can do at this time what we
could not do on the 27th or 28th of July ,
18S4. Wa can stop over to the other slda nnd
what our opponents were doing , I cannot
better , perhaps , than to give you what our
good General Cox has- ferreted out from con I
federate reports :
"He ( Hood ) determined upon another effort
crush Sherman's flank ; and since the thing
wn& to be again tried , It must be admitted
that he was wise In determining to strike
Howard't ' right while In motion , and bsfore
could entrench. Ha withdrew Lorlng'a
Walt hall's divisions of Stewart's corps to was
support General 8. D. Lee , who with his by
corps ( latterly commanded by Cheatbam ) was and
ordered to move- out on the Llckakillet road ,
attack Howard and drive him from that road
and the one by Ezra church. Stewart's orders
directed him to remain In support of Lee
near the fortifications till needed , and next the
morning (29th ( ) , reinforced by his other di and
vision ( FYenqh'K ) , to move beyond Leo and
turn completely the flank of Howard , attack-
him in the rear. Hardce'a corps and and
Smith' * Georgians were ordered to occupy the also
works In front of Thomas and Schofleld. " Ism
Perhaps General Hood himself makes It leas
oven plainer. Hla offlclal statement it a
follows :
"Sherman began to mati hla forces In ( hat they
quarter. On ttfo 28th it became manifest
that the enemy ( Howard ) desired to place long
right Oh Utoy creek. I determined to Ihe
hold the Llckskillet road , and accordingly
ordered Lieutenant General Lee , who on Iho
26tli relieved Major General Clioalham from und
command of the corpi formerly commanded
, myself , to move his forces so as to pre
vent the enemy from gaining that road. He
was ordered to hold the enemy In check on
lias usarly parallel with the LJck klllot for
road , runnfnrr. through EIM church. tlan

gained that pmltlon , engaged him wltli tha

on the engagement of Iho 2Slh , " towlt , tha
battle of Kzru Church.

On the 2Sth. about 11 n , m. , I received or *

) had pa I neil

was nt once
formed on the left of and obllqilely lo the

was that
ono or two brigades of
this
di
vision , as also Clayton's division
, sustained !
heavy -i -

attack of portions of their lines. Wallhall's
division '
, of Stewnrt's

on the Llckakillrt road , while Hrown's rind

GENERAL IIOWAHD'S VIEW.
As Dodge and IJlalr

forces Inside of the Atla'nth1
works , U Is
ovldcnt that
the

federate column moving- con
greatly outnumbered -
our-
men , who
wcro engaged at the
points of
attack. '
Some- writers
think
that Hood , after hla
sad
experience at the two battles of the
22d of July and Peach Tree "Creek , Should
have managed to stand on the defensive nnd
have waited for our coming. If lie''had ' done
so we would have
had his railroad' com
munications cut off by
two hours after
sun-
Hso of the 28th. Once
there , h6 could fiol
have dislodged us , nnd the' siege of Atlanta
would soon have ended tn 'prompt ' abandon

HOW ' THE ACTION DEGA f.
Al ) the'morning of the 28th'Logan' kept
moving steadily forward , /
y/cll- covered by
his sklrmls.li
line. With my staff and small
escort I kept him In slgbt.r follow.Ing.up'-tbe
movement. tfetweeh. 7 , aml , ! Sherman
Joined me as wet were passing through a
heavily wooded country. , As we .
- were.con - <
versing the skirmishing became more brisk
nnd what I look to bo grape-shat cut
through the } rees over our hends , 'breaking
off the limbs. Wo both felt , that the enemy
was " becoming more obstinate. I said :
"General Hood will attack " '
" me here- .
"I guess not : he will hardly try it again , "
Sherman
replied ,
I then remarked thnt Iwas three years'nt
West " Point with Hood-and pronounced him' '
"Imloinltabla In heart. ' . '
Now , aa the sounds of battle kept on In
creasing , Sherman turned back to Thomas ,
probably having a double motlver-lflrst lo
be where he could best *
ro-enforce , ana sec- '
and to let me exercise my new command
without embarrassment. On many occa
sions I noticed that Sherman took this course-
with subordinates In whom ho had contl-
denco.
From the direction of the enenly'R firing. I"
had no great fcnr for my right flank , -and
know from the shape of my position that
I could easily , and 'largely ' 'rc-enforec ' thrd *
right , If necessity should require. I watclied
Logan as lie- gained the higher ground , and
saw with satisfaction thousands of men run- '
nlng forward with rails and such logs as
they could seize-r cpoii , with , which they
were making a continuous pile. The sbeI- >
ter at best was but little , but was a fair 0119
to men when kneeling , and better -when
lying down. Of course , It was too late for
Intrenching. .
It did not take long to- verify my pre
diction. That shrill , terrifying yell who
can ever forget it ! Hood'a ' men charged nnd
fired aa they came. All along' ' the lines our
men remained In place. I. saw thnt a few
straggled back from ono cause or another ,
but not many. These few Logan and offi
cers who were with him rushed to meet ,
and back they went' to duty , Impelled by tha
shrill fierceness of his Indignant voice.
Though it seems hardly possible that so
much time hod passed since Sherman left ,
yet all the diaries place the hour of the
flrot assault after 11 'a. m.
Krom Harrow's and Smith's front the first
charge was met with rapid .and well di
rected firing , Nothing could stand against
, and the most of the confederates either
fell to the earth or turned and fled , protesting -
testing themselves " as best they could by
tha trees "and tha Incidents of the ground.
Our right was slightly overlapped , and a
number of the enemy appeared pe'yond us ,
Permit me to repeat an account I gave
Homo years ago of this part of the battle
when It was fresher Jn my memory than
now :
To withstand them , four regiments came
from Dodge , Including the Sixty-fourth n'nd
Sixty-sixth Illinois , Inspector General Strong

pentlng rifles , BO as to sweep thnt exposed

the repeating riles being remarkable In their
execution , all the groups of flankers wcro

flight. This battle wan prolonged for hours ,
We expected help all that day from. Morean'n

THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM OF THE BODY
Mechanism of Thought and Memory in Stratified Fact Covets the Details of the Microscope in a Sublime Subject.
Copyright 1891, by McClure.
Dr. Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the eminent Spanish histologist, has, by the late researches of the microscopic cells of the brain, carried the scientific world a perceptible step further in the solution of that profoundly interesting problem, the mechanism of thought. The practice of thinking is indulged in by all human beings to a greater or lesser extent, and an increasing percentage of the community are much interested in thinking how they think.
It can scarcely be said, however, that Dr. Cajal's late lecture, as delivered to the Royal society, would be of interest to the majority, as it was the lecture of a great expert to an audience of experts, was phrased in the strange and perplexing polysyllables of a special language, and was, moreover, delivered in French.
Consequently, the points, in the meager outline furnished through the press, conveyed little that was new and less that was understandable to the lay mind. It has now been translated in full, and when perused and pondered, it is perhaps the most interesting contribution of its kind that has ever been seen.
HOW DO WE THINK?
The study of thought action is one which can only be pursued by an investigator who has mastered the latest principles and steps in many other studies, and such an equipment is eminently the possession of Dr. Cajal. All that has been learned of cell life, of protoplasmic action, of electricity in its multifarious aspects, of nerve constitution and nerve conductivity, of the improved microscope and the inventions bearing upon its improvement, of vital chemistry, of the living brain as explored by vivisection, and other branches of advancing knowledge must be facts well in hand, in addition to the latest developments and concepts of anatomy and physiology, before the highest and subtlest form of vital activity is explored.
In all the directions named, the special sciences have been aggregating facts bearing on the great problem for the last twenty years, though all the kinds of electrical batteries now known yet fail to indicate what kind of an electrical battery the brain is, while no photographic plate yet invented has remotely suggested the character of memory, that figurative photography within one's head which records and stores all the scenes of a lifetime in small masses of living matter, so that they may be recalled at a moment's notice, and in groupings which pay no attention to the lapse of the years lying between them.
It has long been known that the brain was composed of millions of minute cells, varying from one eighth-hundredth to one twenty-fifth of an inch in size. The control of the bodily activities by the cerebellum and the exercise of the intellectual powers in the gray matter forming the center of the cerebrum have been indisputably established.
Vivisection has given us a knowledge of the motor area lying along the fissure of Rolando which has been of incalculable benefit to brain surgeons and their patients, and the thought cells themselves, through the series of inventions for hardening and straining the brain, have under the microscope, been studied deep and successfully by investigators, whose results Dr. Cajal has only carried a step further onward. That step is important, however.
A TANTAMOUNT MYSTERY.
Consciousness is a profound mystery. Memory is still the most inexplicable of facts. The physical representation of an idea remains about as unexplained as when Schopenhauer asked the question ten years ago.
The study of the diseases of the memory and the diseases of the will have thrown light on general laws of notion, but have said nothing as to physical constitution.
The intelligence of living matter is the elusive mystery before which science ever drops its hands. The fact is that a man's brain knows far more than the man does. It does automatically and intelligently a thousand things far beyond his own power and knowledge. His heart beats, his nerves conduct, his brain acts, and his whole bodily economy is carried on without his volition and assistance.
He eats and breathes because he cannot help eating and breathing. He has a certain power to injure the marvelous machine under his control, and in the course of pleasure he usually injures it as greatly as the social laws and his own ignorance permit. The tenant for a lifetime of a structure whose instincts will always be far more knowing than his intelligence, his study can only group after a knowledge of how the brain acts without hope of ever knowing why.
But scientist or layman, this question of how it ever is one of profound interest, and from the discovery of air and respiration to the discovery of the circulation of the blood, and from that point to Sir Joseph Lister's antiseptic surgery, those surface diggings in the search for the deep-lying truth have been of measureless value to all men, and of incalculable influence upon the development of society.
VITAL ELECTRICAL MACHINERY.
To form an idea of the chief point developed by Dr. Cajal's researches, let the reader turn his eyes suddenly from this page and throw them upon some object. Suppose his glance falls upon a closed book, say of dark green binding, lettered in gold. In an instant he has combined the idea "book," a specialization of his general idea of color; "letters," a subdivision of the alphabet and words, and "gold," a specialization of his general idea of metal. With the quickness of an electric flash, four ideas have combined in his consciousness. According to the theory of Dr. Cajal, these ideas did not come together, but in regular order, though the difference in time between their respective arrivals in consciousness were so minute as to be imperceptible. Now, the exact point of their respective combination the scientist does not venture to suggest, any more than he assumes to theorize how we became conscious of the combination.
He deals only with the machinery of this process, viewed and discussed from the standpoint of vital and electrical machinery as far as we understand vital and electrical machinery. Carrying the familiar analogy further, in a moment more the reader's process mind has branched off from the book to a lone train of ideas past, present, or future, all coming into his consciousness without cessation, without confusion, and without any perceptible time in their passage.
JUST LIKE MAGIC.
He reads the title, thinks whether he has read the book or not; recalls or does not recall its contents, its characters or any of them; recalls his impressions of the author, thinks of another book which looked like it or had a title like it, which he read as a child in a garret twenty years ago, goes back to the garret, goes out of the garret into childhood again and is, in a moment, reviewing a phase of his life that he has not thought of for twenty years, but which instantly comes back to him, clear-cut, fully colored, perfect in all details, exactly preserved with its infinitude of minutest elements in the mysterious storehouse of infinite filed located in the living matter behind his eyes.
No two readers starting with a glance at the book will have the same train of thought.
Every reader, however, will have some train of this rich icon, which may flash into the past, the present, or dart into the future by combination of stored facts in appropriate settings. This powerful combining process is the first and most impressive quality of brain notion, and the chief internal in Dr. Cajal's lecture lies in the description of the special upon which the machinery of action depends. He fixes in the coat of gray matter, which in many conversations covers the entirety of the cerebral cortex, a distinct layer of cells. The whole thickness of the gray matter, which is only a quarter of an inch, and in the middle layer of the three is so much thicker than the other two that other observers have described it as four layers. All of the pillars of the cellular character, however, though of different sizes. Dr. Cajal makes only one layer of these pyramidal cells, which are beyond any doubt the actual seat of the operations which constitute the highest form of thought. They vary in size, according to the stated, from one-eighth to one-fifth of an inch. They are shaped like elongated pyramids, each one sends upward to the molecular layer on the outside a protoplasmic projection, a plume of living matter, which as it goes upward throws out any number of minute microscopic branches, these branches in turn send out other branches, more microscopic, till the ramifying process ends in even more microscopic spines. The main shoot upon reaching the surface branches out into a minute treelike mass of fibres, as delicate in comparison with the microscopic membrane as the foliage of a tree compared with the trunk. Each one of the myriad of pyramidal cells composing this layer sends upwind one of these plumes, and these plumes and their branches are an important part of the materials composing the outer layer. Each pyramidal cell also sends a shoot or root downward, passing through the layer below and entering the white matter underneath, which forms the great bulk of the brain. Each pyramidal cell also sends out peripheral growths horizontally, setting up an infinity of connections between the cells of that layer, and many of these peripheral growths have branches upward and form parts in their feathery endings of the outer or molecular layer. The layer below the pyramidal cells is one of cells of varying shapes and microscopic sizes, the bulk of them being triangular in form. They also send out extensions of living matter in all directions, connecting themselves with each other throughout all their extent, and, in infinite complexity, placing them presumably in touch, through the protoplasmic extensions, with the whole surface of pyramidal cells. Like the latter, the third layer of cells have each an extension which passes through the pyramidal layer to the outer surface, and each also sends a shoot downward into the white matter. At numberless microscopic points there also rise, through these two layers, microscopic offshoots, bundles of nerve fibres from the white matter passing upward to the surface, the molecular, or outside layer. It is thus primarily composed of an infinity of nervous and protoplasmic extensions from the two layers below, and the white matter interwoven in indescribable complexity with a microscopic minuteness of detail, compared to which any texture woven by hands would be gross and gigantic. Every minute nervous constituent of it is an electrical conductor of the highest sensitivity. In addition to the terminals mentioned there are also interwoven terminals from the other half of the cerebrum, the completeness and complexity of the connection between the two sides of the brain being as perfect as the way in which all the cellular parts of either half are placed in connection with each other. From all parts of the brain come microscopic conductors to this surface layer. From all parts of the body, through their centers in the brain, impulses flashing over the surface of the outer layer reach the sensitive plumes of the pyramidal cells. Everything that may occur throughout the body is telegraphed at the same time to the brain, to this outer layer, and consequently to the pyramidal thought cells. All the bodily labor is beautifully and equably subdivided, and beautifully and harmoniously carried on by the various departments. But, as in all other well-organized establishments, every item of action is automatically telegraphed instantly to headquarters, reported to the pyramidal seat of consciousness, and thus forms part of that comparatively mechanical cell process which we call thought. The whole constructive scheme seems to be the aim of placing every microscopic cell of the pyramidal layer in immediate contact with every other cell and every other organ of brain or body. And to this end it has constructed itself with an ingenuity which the word infinite can alone express. The thought cells are not only thus connected with each other, but also, through the necessities of nourishment, with the minute arterial and venous systems of the circular motion by which new blood is furnished and waste material is removed. Each cell is therefore the seat of chemical action, and a generator of what we call electrical force. The refining processes of each cell appear to absorb nutriment as well as conduct impulses to and from, and if these two duties be subdivided among the ramifications the evidences of the subdivision are so minute as to escape the microscope; yet Dr. Cajal does not agree with Colgi in making a sharp distinction based upon form between purely sensory and purely motor cells, having found cells of sensation in motor tracts and vice versa. That all brain cells are electrical generators to an extent is undoubted, though some of them have special transmitting or specially electric functions. He finds that in all centers whence an excitatory impulse, a sending of a message, is known to come, that the cells are polarized, the nervous impulse uniformly entering by way of the protoplasmic extension, and being sent out latterly by an axis cylinder which transmits it to new protoplasmic apparatus and other cells. And in this way, throughout the whole field of the thought centers, the millions of cells are, roughly speaking, minute batteries receiving impulses and combining them and sending off new impulses to either traverse the field of thought in new combinations, forming new ideas, or to sweep over the field of muscular activity to express in action the volitional result of the thought process. His idea of the cerebral gray matter is, in fact, best conveyed by the metaphor which he uses. He compared it to a garden filled with wonderful and diverse growths, in which the plants, the foliage overhead, and the roots below are interwoven and intertwisted as to form a solid, living mass. The whole mass is made up of minute electrical conductors, and through the electrical garden an impulse from without or one generated within flashes through part or all the extent of the garden, so that any special excitation of any one part instantly becomes a general excitation throughout its entire extent, a fact of which all the parts are equally conscious. In an address, the new facts of which are fruitful of new reflection, and perhaps of new theories, the most interesting vista of possibilities opened up is the bearing of Dr. Cajal's microscopic study of the optic nerve upon the mysterious process called memory. What memory is and how it is carried on nobody has yet remotely suggested. All the late advances in the knowledge of the phenomena of sound and of light will, ultimately, assist the solution of the problem, but they have thrown no clear light upon it as yet.
Dr. Cajal has discovered in the optic nerve a certain apparatus whose only use and object can be to enable the brain or thought centers to excite the retina of the eye from within. Ordinary sight depends upon the excitation of the retina from without by light coming from objects. It appears now, however, that the retina can also be excited from within, which indeed bears out a fact of common knowledge, that we often see with our eyes shut, see in our dreams, and in trying to remember the appearance of an object in the past close our eyes and strain them in the effort to recall it to our vision.
The machinery by which this is carried on is a system of centrifugal nerves lying within the optic nerve and running both from the eye to the brain, but from the brain to the eye. They play no part in the phenomenon of sight, as it takes place from without; no part of the electrical apparatus of external vision, as it is fairly well understood. Their construction shows clearly that they carry electrical impulses from the optic centers to the retina, and they end in spongy formations at the back of the retina. While, according to Dr. Cajal, their function is obscure, they leave no doubt that the visual organ of light can be excited in two ways, from within as well as from without.
The importance of this is the light which it may throw upon the actual seat of memory. Memory has been supposed to be located and in all its complexity in the two cerebral lobes of the brain. It appears to be possible, and probably, however, that the power of remembering the appearance of any past object is principally in the retina and not in the brain; that in response to an impulse from the pyramidal cells of the cerebrum the retina is rapidly created or reproduces and trains one today.
If this be as true as it appears to be, and if seeing an object again depends upon a recreation of its image by the retina, then there is no doubt that hearing again depends upon a recreation of the vibration of the ear. In the aural apparatus, therefore, similar centrifugal nerves conducting from within to without will be looked for, and this study has already begun. Analogy indicates that the organs of taste, smell, and touch will be found similarly equipped, and that rethinking and re-smelling and re-touching, which we often do in memory and in dreams, consists of an actual duplication of the original process, that any experience we may go through and the act of remembering that experience are similar mechanical processes employing precisely the same machinery. In other words, that the actual seat of memory is not in the brain by itself, but the whole nervous system of the body. Any reader who happens to be interested in memory can develop for himself the outlines of this fact by simple analysis. As "thought" is the combination in the brain of any number of special "thoughts," so "memory" is the recreation of any number of special "memories."
Suppose that the memory under consideration is that of a dancing party which the reader attended some years ago. The memory will be found to be entirely made up of special memories, visual, aural, motor, including his muscular actions on the occasion, and others comprising all the sensations filling the evening. A large part of it will be made up of words alone. Words are just as important to the action of memory as they are to the action of thought. To remember what we did on a special occasion we say it over to ourselves, say it aloud.
Whether we employ the organs of articulation mutely, from within, or sufficiently to create sound, thereby uttering the words aloud, our memory of our past actions depends upon our ability to describe them in words, a fact clearly established by the power of memory in savage tribes, which varies directly with the copiousness of their vocabularies.
The general illustration of this peculiar fact, that memory is located, generally speaking, all over the body, and the way in which "memory" is made up of "memories" is thus open to any one, and the researches of Dr. Cajal and his colleagues upon these arousing memory nerves are looked forward to with great interest.
Other corollaries from Dr. Cajal's facts are numerous and profoundly interesting. We cannot increase the number of cells in our brains. They are determined by inheritance. Study or the exercise of the mind can, however, increase the cell ramifications and develop the general "connectedness" of the cells.
The physical measure or test of culture appears to be complexity and richness in brain cell connections. Another surmised measure of it is cell forms, they appearing to vary somewhat with higher intellectual development. The number of thoughts, ideas, conclusions, conjectures, or suggestions which are excited in the thought centers by a given object, in other words, fertility of ideas, appears to depend upon the extent to which the cell or cells presumably devoted to interest in that object are connected with cells of the same or a related kind.
If ideas consist of reduplicated sensations, combined with unrelated words, or of either by themselves, their grouping appears clearly to be a matter of microscopic protoplasmic and nerve fibers, infinite in number and complexity.
The ego, the controlling power which combines and wills the consensus of all these sensations, words, and memories, is, however, a greater mystery than ever. We may learn by existing methods all that the brain does and how it does it, and be as far as ever from knowing what it is.
The world's greatest authority on the causation of vital action came over from Germany a few years ago to tell the Royal society in a famous lecture that he knew nothing absolutely about it. Telepathy has lately intruded its presence upon thought study, and now declares in a way that compels a hearing that ideas have an essence apart from matter as we know it, and can be flashed by brain batteries and received by other brain batteries over indefinite distances.
None the less, however, will the researches into brain action now in progress have a very practical and beneficial effect upon the brain powers of future generations, and sooner or later give us a fairly good mechanical, if not fundamental, definition of the long-studied mystery of thought.
The Times, London, England, of September 3, 1887,
Since Dr. Koch's abortive experiments in inoculation for the cure of consumption, science seems to have made no further attempt, or, at any rate, no successful attempt to discover a permanent remedy for this most dreaded and fatal of diseases. Pure Norwegian cod liver oil, no doubt, is as yet the best known palliative, but it cannot be recognized strictly as a remedy, though its introduction to the world was justly looked upon as a most marvelous advance in therapeutics, and its use has doubtless served to prolong the lives of countless thousands.
The chief objection to the employment of cod liver oil was its utterly nauseating taste and smell. That objection, however, was after a lapse of time in a degree overcome, and the various emulsions and other specially prepared forms, in combination with hypophosphites, malt extract, etc., offered the welcome advantage of being nearly tasteless as regards the oil and more palatable as far as medicinal preparations can be made palatable. It has been given to Dr. T. A.
Slocum, an American practitioner, to effect a combination of medicinal products whereby one of the greatest remedial agents in cases of consumption is for the first time successfully allied with cod liver oil. As to the curative properties of Gualacol, no learned physicians are at variance; but it was found next to impossible to administer it, with such efficacy for the reason that patients were rarely able to retain on the stomach more than an infinitesimal quantity, so that this most potent curative was virtually useless.
To find the means of combining this product with cod liver oil was the object of Dr. Slocum's experiments and researches. In this, he has succeeded almost beyond his expectations. Not only is the Gualacol insolubly allied with pure Norwegian cod liver oil, but by a special electrical process the compound is Ozonized, thus adding another vitalizing element, the whole forming an admirable and easily assimilated medicine possessing in the highest degree the properties considered on pathological authority to be essential in the cure of consumption and other pulmonary diseases.
It may be both interesting and useful to examine more fully into the properties of the component parts of Dr. Slocum's remedy. Those of cod liver oil are of course too well known to need description here. Gualacol is a product of pine and beech wood, and a powerful antiseptic. It is for the sake of breathing in the beneficial exhalations from the pine trees that many consumptives flock yearly to the health-giving, pine-wooded resorts of Switzerland, Germany, etc., where the native population is proverbially free from pulmonary diseases. This, then, is the healing principle so successfully introduced into the new preparation, with consumptives the stomach and intestines contain myriads of parasitic bacteria, which, it is discovered, Gualacol effectually destroys, at the same time preventing any further propagation of the germs. So much for the first two ingredients. Cod liver oil, the emollient and nourishing element, and Gualacol, the antiseptic and germ destroyer. Now, as to the Ozone which Dr. Slocum Introduces by means of electricity. Ozone is oxygen in a contracted state. Its specific gravity being half as much again as that of oxygen. By its peculiar odor and its exhilarating action, its presence in the atmosphere is easily detected after an electrical discharge; the vivifying effect experienced at the seaside, or in the clear pure mountain air. In Dr. Slocum's remedy, the very necessary function performed by the Ozone is that of more readily replacing the oxygen of the body taken up by the fatty matter of the products during their absorption into the system. As surely the whole process seems on the face of it as plausible, as consistent and as perfect as may be. It only remains to be seen from practical experience whether the result justifies Dr. Slocum's sanguine but perhaps too sanguine anticipations as to the healing power of his remedy for a disease that has wrought such havoc among mankind, and which has hitherto eluded the knowledge, time and research of the entire medical profession.

NEW YORK'S GREAT ESTATES
Old Parma Oil Company Now Near the Heart of the City
COD BLOODCLOCK OF THE ASTORS
Outsiders' Guide to Blood The Singing, Alimentary Teller of It All
(infinitesimal quantities, Copyrighted, 1891.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 27. An observant Bostonian remarked before the era of great fortunes in this country that in America it was only three generations from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves, and the saying had at one time a great vogue being used to clinch arguments upon which it had a bearing and also added a spice of neat and epigrammatic style to conversation upon the transitory nature of worldly riches. In these latter days, when there are fortunes in this country that rival in size and in apparent permanency those vast estates of Great Britain that have been fostered under the protection of successive centuries upon first-born sons, the remark is quite as applicable as ever before, the estates alluded to serving as admirable exceptions to prove the rule, the rule being that where the fathers accumulate the children waste, though to be sure the much more general rule is that given the fathers do not gather wealth enough to bother about or to tempt into prodigal and spendthrift habits.
Since the beginning of colonial life in this country, the very real majority of men have had to make their own way by toil through the encompassing complexities of inscribed poverty and ever-changing industrial methods and conditions. And so it will remain unless our friends, the socialists, manage by leveling up and leveling down to put and keep all men in an equality.
MONEY QUICKLY EXALTS BLOOD.
Even in the colonial days there were men who were reckoned rich by their neighbors, according to the standard then prevailing they were rich. Nowadays such wealth would command but little respect. Some of these men, however, laid the foundations for fortunes that have lasted till now and these have served to keep whole families rich with no other effort than that required to refuse to sell land around which the great city was growing. The men who started these fortunes were frequently small farmers and petty shopkeepers; their grandchildren and great-grandchildren are more frequently than not proud with an arrogance that surpasses that of the most exclusive nobility in any of the old world kingdoms.
This "noble" class in New York is not only proud of its wealth, but it is proud of its descent, though it is scarcely to be expected that many of them, in historical retrospect, go back so far as to find an ancestor measuring tape and bowing to customers from behind a counter. But unless such was the occupation of these old worthies, it was likely to have been in a furrow behind a plow. Such commonplace ancestry is entirely honorable, and it would not be worth noting in this place were it not for the fact that many of those owning inherited fortunes from such ancestors have ignored the humble beginnings with such persistence that they have absolutely passed out of memory. A rifle over a year ago a bundle of receipted accounts, made by a resident of New York just prior to the beginning of this century, was found and the bills, were published. Astonishment was heard upon many sides that, this (the author's name) and that had once graced signs over shops where articles of diverse kinds might have been bought at retail. Indeed, the bearer of that name, I believe, worked as a porter in a department store flying that it was news, and so quickly, way had such employment, but the estates were likely to have included retail shops where the owners served customers with a shrewd politeness that concealed if it did not dull the keen edge of bargaining.
THE STUYVESANT ESTATE.
But at that time the Stuyvesants were very considerable landowners on Manhattan Island, their farm stretching from the Battery east to the East River and north and south from Houston to Twenty-third Street. The Stuyvesants have husbanded this estate very carefully, and much of this original tract still belongs to members of the family, while part of it is managed as a whole like the business of a bank or any commercial concern. And within this Stuyvesant area are some of the most crowded tenement house sections in the great city. These swarming tenement houses must contribute no little to swell both the Stuyvesant pride and purse, and a member of the family contemplating them in midsummer can not be blamed for believing that he belongs to a superior race. As for recognizing the Stuyvesant who kept shop, another farm near the heart of the city.
A glance at the lower half of Manhattan Island will show that the Stuyvesants had in the district of Lower Manhattan near neighbors, also with a considerable tract of land, and this family has also held on to large portions of the old farm. And without any doubt the most hopeless tenement house life to be found anywhere on this continent flourishes or languishes, if you please, on the land where old James DeLancy marked out his furrows. It is in this district the gentlemen of the University Settlement society are living in the hope of assisting in some measure to ameliorate the hard conditions of the very poor who are huddled in wretched houses like rabbits in a warren.
But the property yields a good return in rentals, and further concern than this is not to be expected from those who with the income treat the world to an unexpected sight of an American nobility.

The Henry DeVoor farm separated this from the place Henry Springer, which included Union Square and from Twelfth to Eighteenth Street ran east and west from where Fourth Avenue now is to midway between Fifth and Sixth avenues.
How much of this land not taken for public use, the Springer heirs still hold, I have not gone to the records to see, but it is enough all conscience, as witness the spacious old residence on the north side of Fourteenth Street, with its carriage drive, its old-fashioned garden and its contempt for the enterprising arms of commerce which stretch all about it, but have not come further than the tall iron fence. Strangers and New Yorkers, too, have looked at this old house and have wondered, why it should be offered to remain so long after those like it had been tumbled down. Though I cannot answer the question, I do know that the steady increase in value is enough to compensate for its comparative idleness. And then the heirs of James Springer do not need to worry about money for household expenses or a trip to the country when the weather is warm.
What of the Springer farm was the place. Farmer Rogers had a pretty daughter whose bright eyes won the heart of a young foreigner, a man who, in the absence of any better name, was called Rhinelandor, just as one would call a lad newly come from the valley of the Potomac a Marylander. But the beginning of this humble romance between the unnamed German youth and the country maiden was also the beginning of a great fortune, a great family, for the Rhinelanders' pretty wife succeeded her father and left the acres of her father for her children and her children's children.
Were it worth while the map of New York with the land lines as they existed eighty or ninety years ago could be gone over and many curious little facts rescued from oblivion. Were the descendants of the people who then owned the land pious in the same way that in New England the Puritans' great grandchildren are, they would have done. But bless us, they never will. They can get much nearer what they desire from some college of genealogy and heraldry, from some institution that will be sure to give to each patron something to gratify the pride regardless of the varieties that would hinder the hand of a conscientious archaeologist and teacher after the trouble. So we will pass these things by for on the map we are now near the first considerable bit of land purchased by the founder of a landed estate; so large that to borrow an expression from the race track, it is first and the rest nowhere.
BEGINNING OF THE ASTOR ESTATE.
I allude to the farm owned in partnership by Governor George Clinton and John Jacob Astor, bounded by Eighth Avenue and the Hudson River and Canal Street and Nineteenth Street. Mr. Astor had already become a rich man before his first large venture in real estate. His previous ventures had been in the fur trade and in that he had sovereigned sway for many years for like a king he sent his fleets to the far seas and his armies of hunters and trappers to unexplored countries.
Some of the people in New York take a curious kind of pleasure in recalling the fact that the first John Jacob Astor beat furs in New York for 11 a day, when their grandfathers wore owners of the land. It seems to me that the period in Astor's career to inspire the pride of his descendants and command the respect of the world is that part before he became a great landowner. As a merchant and as a trapper, he was an enterprising man, more farsighted than his contemporaries, more thrifty, more energetic, more resourceful. His early active life was spent in this trade and in it he accumulated a fortune that was looked upon at that time as colossal. He went into real estate because he wanted to invest the money he had made in furs and looking upon his land purchases purely as investments, he began a policy that has been continued by his descendants down to the present time. This policy, it may be remarked, has been usually considered one of the most intense and cruel selfishness.
Before telling what this policy is, it is well to say that it has been condemned quite as severely by those who recognize the full and complete rights of property as by any others, for the policy leaves out of account entirely the responsibility that the ownership of property imposes, the responsibility to the rest of the community and the obligation to assist in all the work that tends toward neighborhood advancement. Neglecting these responsibilities and obligations, the Astors have as owners of real estate in New York been in a position somewhat analogous to the man who thought he kept within the law in all his acts and consequently out of jail, yet fails to win either the affection or respect of his neighbors.
THE ASTOR POLICY.
There is nothing wonderful in this policy, but it is remarkable that three generations should have persisted in it. The first Astor's active business life was spent in New York, at that period when the city was making its first strides toward commercial supremacy, and its growth was both steady and rapid. The shrewd old German had complete faith in the development of the town, and he saw, what it seems difficult that any others could fail to see, that its growth would be to the north. Indeed, there was no other way for it to grow. So he bought parcels of land wherever he could buy to advantage, and established the policy of holding on until the improvements of others should make this land desirable for business or residence purposes. His policy, was to secure for pure his state every farthing of the unearned increment and to refrain from doing a single thing to earn this advance in value. He was quite within his rights in so doing, but those whose enterprise and whose more active investments gave increased value to his lands did not love the policy any the more because it was lawful. He would not sell the vacant lots he held, nor would he, as a general thing, reprove them, but he would lease them for twenty-five or forty-two years' tenants, who would build what he considered suitable houses. Under this policy, he converted a greater part of his wealth into real estate in New York, and his riches grew with amazing rapidity. The policy was successfully continued by his son and his grandsons, and the present masters of the estate, the founder's great-grandsons, William Waldorf Astor and John Jacob Astor, pursue it with only very slight modifications.
From the time the first Astor joined with Governor Clinton in purchasing the farms at the foot of Fourteenth Street, the Astors have been steady and regular buyers of real estate property until now it is scattered all over town, from the Battery to the Harlem River and way beyond. Though they have built hundreds of houses, they have built so little in proportion to their holdings that the policy of letting others improve their property has not been affected. Even the great hotels put up on Fifth Avenue by William Waldorf Astor are not considered to be any marked departure from the established policy. Rather than a departure, it is but following the example of the founder, who built the Astor house at Barclay Street and Broadway so long ago, that at that time the hotel was thought to be on the outskirts of the town. When an Astor buys a square of land in any neighborhood, the nearby property owners consider it a misfortune to them, for they have learned by experience that this great estate will do nothing more active than to hold on and await the profits that in developments by others will bring. A recent instance in point was that of the present John Jacob Astor, who chose to build a stable in Madison Avenue, though the stable was distasteful to the neighbors and injurious to their property. No feeling of neighborliness could move him; all he wanted to know was whether or not he was within the law.
MANAGEMENT OF THE ASTOR ESTATE, the founder of the Astor estate managed himself; those who have come since him have needed assistance and the corps of clerks, collectors, real estate exports, and so forth has grown until now it is a staff like that of a bank or the executive department of a railway corporation. The large London estates, such as those of the dukes of Holbyford and Westminster, are in a great measure in tracts or districts, where everything in sight belongs to the one landlord, but the Astor properties are scattered all over town and therefore cannot be managed the same way as three ducal holdings. The manager of the Astor estate has given more than half a century to his work and he may personally know all of the properties, as but the younger men and the owners themselves need to refer to the maps and the books to aid memory. In buying, in leasing, in insuring, in building, in making repairs to houses, everything is done according to a system that has grown out of the Astor policy. So long as this adheres to the income, it will probably remain so large that to get rid of it would baffle the efforts of the most reckless spendthrift. But the Astors have never been of this kind and the ruling generation may be depended on to take safe care of their own. Nothing less than a social revolution is likely to disturb them.
The Vanderbilts own very valuable real estate in New York, but their holdings do not compare with the Astors, nor do they rent to tenants any great number of houses. They are not, therefore, among the great landlords of the metropolis. In fact, John G. Shedd, who began his real estate operations in New York some thirty years ago, now controls a larger property than the Vanderbilts.

Dr. Carroll estimates that 20,000,000 religious services, not counting the Sunday schools, are held every year in the United States, and that 10,000,000 sermons are preached in 165,000 places of worship. This does not look like Christianity is "dying with a whimper," as some have said.
BATTLE OF EZRA CHAPEL
Gen. Howard's Description as Given at the Reunion of the Army of the Tennessee.
RECALLING ITS DEPARTED COMMANDERS
Strangely Coincided Records of Succeeding in
Pershing's footsteps Concretely
Pershing's March that
The only one of that series of commanders left to meet and address you tonight.
You may say that it is not a cheerful chord to touch. Why not? I often mingle my dreams with those of my old friends and inmates. I never meet them in the tomb, but in both active spheres correspondent to the old places. Grant is earnest; Sherman, gay and off-hand; MePherson, quietly happy, and Logan electric!
My own part in a given dream may be slightly depressing, often shame-producing or ludicrous, or, to coin the word, deftful! But their parts in the drama of the night visions are now fraught with the triumphs only whether they be of war or peace.
For example: One night I fancied that I had a roll of Brussels carpet much soiled from use. Sherman appeared to be standing not far off and talking rapidly in a most animated style to a host of companions. I called out to him, "General, let me bathe my carpet in your tub."
He had a quizzical look as he removed his cigar and lifted one of his brows after the peculiar fashion.
"Put that carpet in my tub? All right, Howard, do what you like." This was said with the same old trombone voice and joyous manner which we never forget.
So you perceive, my comrades, these friends and many others who leave us one by one are not really dead, but living entities not far off from our thoughts night and day.
A WORD FOR M'PHERSON
You have given me "Ezra Chapel," All right.
But a few days before that battle, the 22nd day of July, 1863, in the morning, all these commanders were here, bodily present living entities. During that day, as you, Mr.
I remember vividly, one of them, McPherson, the young man of finest talent and brightest earthly prospect, fell in battle. I have visited his singular tomb, set up there on the field, also the statue, Washington, and have had a description of the other erected in Clyde, OH's history, however, is everywhere and his name does not need monuments of stone and marble to keep fresh his memory in the minds and hearts of the thousand who knew and loved him.
On the 27th of July, two days after the death of McPherson, I assumed command of the Army of the Tennessee. There is something a little remarkable in the sequence of his work and mine, at points where they came in contact.
He entered the military academy in 1819; Howard in 1850. He graduated in 1853; Howard in 1851. He was cadet quartermaster sergeant during his second class year; Howard the same, succeeding him. He was cadet quartermaster in his graduating year; Howard the same in his. He was president of the Dialectic society at West Point in 1852-53; Howard was his immediate successor also in this.
I did not seek the field command which McPherson had vacated. No friends pressed my name upon General Sherman, and so it was, is, and ever will be a special gratification to my military pride that I was selected for the high position.
You will agree with me that by the time it had been occupied by so many generals of distinction some whose ability and reputation the world will have difficulty to match, that it was a great honor and enhanced with unusual responsibility.
THE ARMY MARCHED.
The very day I passed from the Fourth Corps to the new command, I set the army in motion and, we proceeded, General Dodge's corps leading. Blair's and Logan's following in order from the field of their bloody triumph, now called the battle field of Atlanta, around the rear of the Armies of the Ohio and the Cumberland to and beyond the then extreme right of Thomas' position. We were to go across Proctor's Creek, and Sherman desired me to march in the usual order of columns of four stretching out as far as I might, so as to encompass the Confederate works of Atlanta and gain, if Confederate Hood, would allow me to do so, his southbound railroad track, and thus cut his vital communication.
I demurred a little at the manner of going, and so with Sherman's assent, I changed the order of coming into line. It was General Dodge who had hardly passed Thomas' bank when, General Corse being on the lead, Hodgman began skirmishing with the Confederate pickets and advance guards, driving them back. They gave way step by step as our men advanced. General Dodge handsomely swung up into line brigade by brigade coming into deployment, as we would say with smaller fronts, by division on the left into line, each successive brigade covered and protected the rear and then the flank of its predecessor. General Clair, in the same orderly manner, passed beyond Dodge and led his name nearly into position, curving up toward the Confederate intrenchments, but he waited for complete adjustment till the daylight of the following morning. Logan unrolled a similar manner, except that he deployed nearly his entire corps during the night, forming a large angle at the junction with Clair. Wood's division was near Ezra Church, and then came Harrow's, and then last on the extreme right Morgan L. Smith's, commanded in this battle by Lightburn, whose own brigade was on the extreme right of Smith's division. Each corps had its own artillery, but there was no cavalry, except a small escort at army headquarters.
General Sherman, with the view of protecting our general communications, caused General Thomas to send Morgan's division to Turner's Ferry at the same time that we were moving. To the same end, I had General Dodge reinforce Morgan with the Ninth Illinois mounted infantry. Morgan, thus helped, was to watch all the roads our right and rear, and after his reconnaissance came back as rapidly as possible to my right flank. It should be observed that Confederate works in front of Thomas, Dodge, and Clair were held in force by Hardee's corps.
Now in order to make this battle as plain as possible, we can do at this time what we could not do on the 27th or 28th of July, 1864. We can stop over to the other side and see what our opponents were doing. I cannot better, perhaps, than to give you what our good General Cox has ferreted out from Confederate reports:
"He (Hood) determined upon another effort to crush Sherman's flank; and since the thing was to be again tried, it must be admitted that he was wise in determining to strike Howard's right while in motion, and before could entrench. He withdrew Loring's and Walt Hall's divisions of Stewart's corps to support General S. D. Lee, who with his corps (latterly commanded by Cheatham) was ordered to move out on the Lickskillet road, attack Howard and drive him from that road and the one by Ezra Church. Stewart's orders directed him to remain in support of Lee near the fortifications till needed, and next the morning (29th), reinforced by his other division (Penny's), to move beyond Lee and turn completely the flank of Howard, attack him in the rear. Hardee's corps and Smith's Georgians were ordered to occupy the works in front of Thomas and Schofield." Is perhaps General Hood himself makes it less obvious. His official statement is as follows:
"Sherman began to mass his forces in that quarter. On the 28th it became manifest that the enemy (Howard) desired to place his right on Oley Creek. I determined to hold the Lickskillet road, and accordingly ordered Lieutenant General Lee, who on the 26th relieved Major General Cheatham from command of the corps formerly commanded by myself, to move his forces so as to prevent the enemy from gaining that road. He was ordered to hold the enemy in check on a line parallel with the Lickskillet road, running through Ezra Church. General Lee, finding that the enemy had already gained that position, engaged him with the intention to recover that line. This brought on the engagement of the 27th, termed the battle of Ezra Church.
"My old classmate, General S. D. Lee, whom our men reported as riding in the thickest of the fight on a white horse all that particular day, of his movements.
"The army was then in position and intrenched around Atlanta, daily shifting its position to meet the flank movements of the enemy. On the 27th Hindman's and Clayton's divisions were withdrawn from the trenches and massed on the Lickskillet road."
On the 28th, about 11 a.m., I received orders to move out on the Lickskillet road and check the enemy (Howard), who was then moving to our right, as it was reported to hold that road, to be used for a contemplated movement. I soon found that the enemy (Howard's skirmishers) had passed that road and was gradually driving back our cavalry. Brown's division was once formed on the left of and immediately to the road, and Clayton's division on the right connecting by a line of skirmishers with the main works around the city. As soon as Brown was formed, he moved forward, hand-to-hand; driving the enemy (Lightburn's men) across the road and to a distance half a mile beyond, where he encountered breastworks, from which he was driven back with considerable loss. Clayton's division moved forward as soon as formed, and about ten minutes after Brown's advance, it met with similar results. It was difficult to rally Brown's division, and moved it against the enemy a second time. The consequence was that one or two brigades of this division, as also Clayton's division, sustained heavy losses because of the failure in the attack of portions of their lines. Wallhall's division, of Stewart's corps, had moved out on the Lickskillet road, while Brown's and Clayton's divisions were engaged with the enemy. At my suggestion, this division was thrown against the enemy where Brown had attacked. The enemy (Logan's line within) was still in easy range of the Lickskillet road and it was believed he would yield before a determined attack. The effort was, however, a failure.
GENERAL HOWARD'S VIEW.
As Dodge and Blair were occupied with the forces inside of the Atlanta works, it is obvious that the federate column moving was greatly outnumbered by our men, who were engaged at the points of attack. Some writers think that Hood, after his sad experience at the two battles of the 22nd of July and Peach Tree Creek, should have managed to stand on the defensive and have waited for our coming. If he had done so, we would have had his railroad communications cut off by two hours after sunrise of the 28th. Once there, he could not have dislodged us, and the siege of Atlanta would soon have ended in either prompt abandonment or surrender.
Certainly, our movement would have forced even Johnston to attack us, as Hood did.
HOW THE ACTION DEGAN.
All the morning of the 28th, Logan kept moving steadily forward, covered by his skirmish line. With my staff and small escort, I kept him in sight, following up the movement. Between 7 a.m. and noon, Sherman joined me as we were passing through a heavily wooded country. As we were conversing, the skirmishing became more brisk and what I looked to be grape-shot cut through the trees over our heads, breaking off the limbs. We both felt that the enemy was becoming more obstinate. I said, "General Hood will attack here," to which Sherman replied, "I guess not; he will hardly try it again," to which I remarked that I was three years at West Point with Hood and pronounced him "invincible in heart." Now, as the sounds of battle kept on increasing, Sherman turned back to Thomas, probably having a double motive - first to be where he could best reinforce, and second to let me exercise my new command without embarrassment. On many occasions, I noticed that Sherman took this course with subordinates in whom he had confidence.
From the direction of the enemy's firing, I had no great fear for my right flank, and knew from the shape of my position that I could easily, and largely, reinforce it if necessity should require. I watched Logan as he gained the higher ground, and saw with satisfaction thousands of men running forward with rails and such logs as they could seize upon, with which they were making a continuous pile. The shelter at best was but little, but was a fair protection to men when kneeling, and better when lying down. Of course, it was too late for intrenching.
It did not take long to verify my prediction. That shrill, terrifying yell, which can never be forgotten, Hood's men charged and fired as they came. All along the lines, our men remained in place. I saw that a few stragglers went back from one cause or another, but not many. These few, Logan and officers who were with him, rushed to meet, and back they went to duty, impelled by the shrill fierceness of his indignant voice.
Though it seems hardly possible that so much time had passed since Sherman left, yet all the diaries place the hour of the first assault after 11 a.m.
From Harrow's and Smith's front, the first charge was met with rapid and well-directed firing, nothing could stand against, and the most of the Confederates either fell to the earth or turned and fled, protesting themselves "as best they could by the trees" and the incidents of the ground. Our right was slightly overlapped, and a number of the enemy appeared beyond us.
Permit me to repeat an account I gave many years ago of this part of the battle, when it was fresher in my memory than now:
To withstand them, four regiments came from Dodge, including the Sixty-fourth and Sixty-sixth Illinois, Inspector General Strong thither from Blair, and my chief of artillery placed several batteries, armed with repeating rifles, so as to sweep that exposed flank. These were brought in at the exact moment, and after a few rapid discharges, the repeating rifles being remarkable in their execution, all the groups of flankers were either cut down or had sought safety in flight. This battle was prolonged for hours.
We expected help all that day from Moreland's division of Palmer's corps, coming back from Turner's ferry, but the Confederate cavalry kept that division in check. Our troops exhibited nerve and persistence. Logan was cheerful and hearty and full of enthusiasm. We stopped stragglers, as we have seen, and sent them back, and gave every needed order. Blair was watchful and helpful; so was Dodge.
After the last charge had been repelled, I went along my lines and felt proud and happy to be entrusted with such brave and efficient soldiers. Hood, having again lost three times as many as we, withdrew within his fortified lines. Our skirmishers cleared the field, and the battle of Ezra Church was won; and with this result, I consoled myself.
One officer who was a little panic-stricken ran with the first stragglers, and Sherman cried substantially, as I remember: "You've made a mistake in McPherson's successor. Everything is going to pieces!"
Sherman said: "Is General Howard there?"
"Yes, I suppose he is."
"Well, I'll wait before taking action till I hear from him."
So Sherman sustained and trusted me, and was content.
GAINS OF THE WAR.
When the war spirit is upon us, as it must be when we return to our field of conquest, we do not, I think, enough emphasize what was gained by the war.
It is not enough to cry out that slavery is abolished. All our institutions, covered by the constitution of the United States, still developing under its nourishing sunshine more and more year by year, were then at stake.
What were those institutions? I love to reckon among them the American family, American school, the American churches, the American ballot.
We, my comrades, have given (hear, completed, rounded out, intact) to our children, we veterans, the unity, the patriotism, the spirit of self-sacrifice and the fearlessness which inspired and animated ourselves from 1881 to 1905. The storm comes even in the time of peace; it comes from all quarters and in all shapes, and it will continue to come as selfishness and greed are found in the breasts of mean men, whether their positions in society be high or low. So comrades, at times we may tremble in fancy that the very foundations of the government are being shaken to their fall, but courage! No, not to fear! The children are worthy of their parental heritage. The very institution we have given them (here) prepares them for a struggle against any oppressor. | 21 |

THE QUESTION Of MUNICIPAL REFORM

There ore two political reform movements
which have long been before the American
public separately , both ot which would gain
much nt the present moment by a close con-
Junction. They are naturally and logically
united , snd there will ba great practical bene
fit to the publlo If there Is a general popular
recognition of the relationship. These are
I civil service reform and municipal reform.
Both movements spring from a deep desire
to sustain the American Idea of free Institu
tions guarded by law and based upon sound
moral and Intellectual principles , to guard
that idea from the Inevitable attacks of Ignor
ance , greed and self-interest , Intellectual and
/ moral1 aspirations , which are so greatly
nourished and stimulated by religion and by
\ Institutions of learning , are necessary to
saro the country from thai narrow selfish
ness which Is always opposed to the public
welfare , and from the control of popular
sophisms which result from mingled Intel
lectual uhsoundnesa and moral perversity.
Men and women wlio , by reason of Individual
nature and of education , arc peculiarly sus
ceptible to such aspiration , who are sincerely
and Intelligently patriotic , can with especial
profit give close study to- - these two reforms ,
their history , characteristics and purpose ,
and they should use the means at hand to
promote them , For not since the civil war ,
certainly , has there been a moment when a
return to foundation principles was more
necessary limn at present , when there was
more need to urge- our people to look to the
rock whence wo are hewn , the pit whence
we are digged.
The converse of the civil service reform
Idea or the merit system a more lucid and
descriptive term , Is the spoils system. These
two opposed terms simply represent two Irk -
. k reooncllably antagonistic Ideas , which find
their ofigln respectively In good and bad
motives of human nature. The merit system
Is the expression ot those who would use all
the nohpolltlcal machinery ot the govern
ment , federal , state and municipal all those
ofQcca which are concerned simply with tlic
honcit and efficient administration ofbu&l-
ness , not as bribes or rewards- for party
service , but with a view to the best Inter
ests of the public. The spoils system , on
the other hand , U the expression of those
some of whom do not care primarily , some-
not at all about the public welfare , wlio
would use thcso offices and the salaries and
Influence which are attached to them
for the Eood of the party to
which they belong , or of the clique
_ ; , within the party , or of their friends , or most
Individually and selfishly ot themselves. Of
course there will always be until the millen
nium these two antagonistic classes of men
In this or other countries , but the adoption of
civil service reform laws and the propaga
tion of the civil service reform spirit will
turn the balance of power on the side of the
belter class of men with the sound princi
ples. Instead of leaving the worse class ot
men with the ( also and destructive principle
tree to get the Illicit rewards they are In
search of and do all the harm they de
sire. The question for us to consider Is
whether the friends of good government
or Us enemies shall hold the redoubt. The
Si. salaries attached to > the federal civil service
" * > olflces alone represent more than $60,000,000.
It Is a serious thing It you say to 60,000,000
people that this great sum anil all represented
by state and municipal service besides. Is
offered In a game ot grab , that It Is not to
be used as the wage of legitimate service ren
dered to the publlo under conditions which
shall stimulate motives , of self-respect ami
_ procure the best work , but that It Is the
prlte of the strongest , the spoil of the fiercest
1 and the least scrupulous who can seize and
_ devour It. The spoils Idea appeals to all
that Is base and solusli in human nature- ,
and with the Immense rewards it has to offer
It Is not to bo wondered at that. It lias gained
a power so tremendous and so baleful In
American politics. But It Is inexplicable that
a people so keen-slghtod , ttna among whom
uducatlon Is BO general as ours , should not
have perceived the. dangerous nature of the
guest which they were- admitting when , In
spite ot the example and the precept of carl'er
statesmen of WoslilnRton. Madison , John
Qulncy Adams , Jeffcr&on and others they
opened the door of American politics to the
spoils system. As fatal an enemy of our free
Institutions as the sea to the meadows of
Holland , the spalls system once let In by
natural folly has ravaged the wide domain
of our public life. It has given us machine
government & political monstrosity which
destroys conscience , crushes manhood and In
dependence , and Is designed only to let greedy
men Into the publlo treasury. It has lowered
the tone of all our public life , executive and
legislative , putting many men In office to
make laws and to carry them out who have
been forced by the conditions which created
their political lite to think not of the things
which ought to bo done for the public good ,
but of what will help the p-irty , or more
frequently , help self. The Influence of the
spoils Idea has been nowhere more apparent
than In the great range ot publlo work ,
whether belonging to tha federal , state of
municipal service , which IB concerned with
the education or the care of human beings ,
and the relief of human suffering the Indian |
tervlce. publlo education , publlo hospitals , In-
tane asylums and similar branches of public
philanthropic work. In such departments of
tflort U has meant murder , theft , cruelty. In i-
efficiency , Infinite loss In various kinds iif
moral Intellectual material. The cold Intel I-
lectual abstraction xvhlch the term civil serv
ice suggests assumes a vital meaning to one
who , from actual experience , nas learned ieo :
fcnow and hate the spoils system , because his
line of experience has taught him how evil
arc Its deeds. Personal experience In Indian
affairs taught the writer that a peaceful and
satisfactory solution of that problem was ob
structed mainly by the spoils system , which ;
let every sound principle of management at J
defiance by effecting appointments and re.
movals so that faithful and Intelligent service
was persistently buffeted and discouraged ,
while Incompetency , dishonesty and vice were
rewarded , and a general con a It Ion of chaos
maintained. But this practical experience
had also a bright side , since It showed clearl ' , *
how effectively Intelligent work may remove
§ uch evils us formerly were rampant In the
.Indian service. By a systematic constant ap
peal to publlo sentiment , based upon actual
ind clearly stated facts , the spoils system ,
while It has not yet been wholly destroyed ,
has been nt least greatly weakened , while
j the merit system ha been Introduced , has
> produced hopeful results and Is slowly but
ileadlly winning Its way.
U Is Interesting to note how this encourag
ing change for the better has gradually been
wrought In the Indian service it Is valuable
also to note It , because the-methods by which ,
the change has been effected can bo applied
equally well to promote civil service reform
throughout the full range of our public life.
Every effort should be made to Interest a
much larger number of our people In an un
derstanding and use ot such methods , so that
Ihey may apply them freely and effectively for
themselves , GO that harmonious and effective
action aiming to secure good government may
take the place of an Impotent desire to have
It. The civil service reformers have accom
plished remarkable results considering- their
Insignificant numtVr and the obstacles op
posed to them , but how much larger would
those results have been had funds been at
their disposal to effect a more vigorous agita
tion. H may safely be assumed that every
publlo evil will succumb to public sentiment ,
but the problem ls Just how to create an In
telligent and sound publlo sentiment , and then
to give It the chance to act In time- before
the harm which U Is designed to prevent has
been done. W must do precisely that for
publlo sentiment which the gun barrel does
for the powder which makes the -explosion
effective and drives the bullet to the mark.
The Indian Hlghts association planted and
fostered civil service , reform In the Indian
lervlco In a way that a few words will .ex .
plain , The association's flrat strong move
waa to acquaint Itself with facts by frequent
tourneys of Its members and agents upon the
western reservations , Ttui it came to speak
with authority , nnd Its statement of facts
could not be zuccesufully disputed. The as
sociation soon learned that Its main objec
tive point mimt be the ilvitructlon of the
spoils system unreasonably partisan changes
In the personnel of the service. Such n change
of theory In Its management ivai- absolutely
necessary to supply n solid foundation for
nil kinds ot work. The association found
many faithful , good people a Rente , anil sub
ordinates In the service , who under the
spalls system would be dlsmlsucd with the-
outgoing of the administrations which op-
pointed them. The problem was to protect
these people from removal by calling public
ntlenllon to their work , their merits and the
Importance ot their retention. Of course , this
was trying work ; It meant constant persua
sion , druggie , conflict even , with republican
and democratic administration ! . It means
arguing with the officers of the government
and the publlo through the newspapers , case
after case , Such work has been carried on
( or twelve years. The neneral principles of
civil ncrvlce reform could be elucidated with
telling force by Illustrations of individual cases
of money and folly Involved In removals tor
spoils. But the results were full compensa
tion for the trouble Involved. Today 700
places. In the- Indian service ore under civil
service rules , nnd the- merit Idea Is making
constant headway. All , the while the stand
ards In the management are lifting. It Is
eauy to point out the elements of success In
this peculiar work. One or two members of
the association gave up almost all their time
and thought to the work they made a busi
ness of II. At less cost It could not have
been done. This Is the first point. Their
appeal to the public aroused Interest , because
It was made upon an Indisputable basis of
fact. When the association made requests
or demands ot the government It spoke as
"one having authority , " because It had pub
lic sentiment behind It. Without this support
of public sentiment. Its own requests , no mat
ter how Just or reasonable they might have
been , would , In most cases , have accom
plished llttlo or nothing. The effective power
evolved resulted from the combination of an
aleri organization , which had sufficient funds
both to acquire Its ammunition ot facts and
to place them before the public , and a re
sponsive public which was ready to give the
organization the power for which It asked.
The organization would have been powerless
without the public , and the public without
the organization , to effect the end desired.
The organization , by such popular work run
ning on rational lines , all that Is good In
public life la sustained and strengthened , all
officers who wish to do their duty are sup
ported.
The work of the Indian nights association
has been given only as Illustrative of the pre
cise kind of effort which at this juncture the
country most needs. H Is a systematic , well
directed effort to turn latent forces for good
Into active vitalizing connecting with our
public nnd political life. When our Institu
tions are subjected to severe strain from po
litical corruptions of various kinds , when
grave public questions receive unsatisfactory
treatment from poor material with which the
spoils system fills our public offices. It Is
time to give the question of reform serious
consideration. We have allowed the poorest ,
least thoughtful and conscientious elements
of our population , acting through the medium
of the spoils system and of the. machine , to
gain control of our politics. We have not
taken our public lite seriously enough , and
now wo are apprised of the danger of such
pourile and light-hearted Indifference when
the time of harvest Is come. When grave
emergencies arise , and we- find weak or evil
disposed or corrupt men In places of power.
It becomes clear as noonday that the question
of public administration is among the most
serious of all questions. The two routes by
which a reform of American politics , which
the present condition of public affairs show
to bo Imperative , can best bo reached , are.
In the opinion of the writer , civil service re
form and municipal reform. Let us keep the
thought clearly In mind that the so reforms
are coordinateboth must bo pressed for
ward at once and In harmonious union. Civil
service reform , In which the late George
William Curtis was the distinguished leader ,
has already by his efforts and those of the
comparatively small number of men associ
ated with him accomplished much , but the
main work Is yet to come. It can only come
through strong organization acting on public
sentiment , The practical step ta bo taken
Is to strengthen and develop Immediately the
National Civil Service Ueform league , of
which Hon. Carl Schurz Is the president and
Mr. William Potts Is the secretary. The
headquarters of the league are In New York
City. This organization should be equipped
with not less than $15,000 annually , so that
It can at once promote local organizations In
all parts of the country where they are
needed , but especially In thesouth' and west.
The movement for the reform of municipal
government which Is at present being agi
tated In many leading cities of the country ,
and for the management of which the Na
tional Municipal league has been organized ,
la based on civil service reform principles.
The. question of getting men of character and
efficiency Into office ami of holding them there
dcsplto the Importunities or changes of par
tisanship , Is the vital question. To convince
voters that national questions should not be
discussed and national campaigns fought
within the sphere of municipal affairs Is the
hard task before us ; for nothing seems In
practice more dttflcult than to Induce other
wise Intelligent men to abandon so evident
and dangerous a fallacy as that which main
tains that good city government can be had
by action guided on party lines. The city
must be ruled , not with a view to affecting
this or that national Issue , but to- promote
the comfort and welfare of its citizens. But
It Is also true that by setting the city to
mind Its own business we shall Indirectly
purify politics at large , for national politics
find a , great source of corruption In machine
rule , which centers In the great cities ; free
them from that tyranny ot the machine and
they cannot but be Immensely benefited. The
most essential means to the maintenance of
any effective municipal league or organlza
lion which alms to secure good city govern
ment Is some method whereby those * who are
engaged In the work may have frequent and
systematic opportunity for studying and dis
cussing the problem In Us practical and Inci
dental phases. There must be the opportunity
for easy and frequent associations It any
effective organization ot the dormant forcx-a
of good Is to be obtained. Trobsbly the sim
plest and best means for obtaining such as-
sociatlon will be found In "the parlor meet-
Ing. " The politician has the liquor saloon
for perfecting his plans and oiling his ma-
olilne. The municipal reformer must have his
"parlor meeting. " The social quality must
mingle with the Intellectual and moral In this
enterprise. Let some Intelligent woman In
terested In the cause and gifted with social
tact Invite to her house a few friends of both
sexes , some of whom are Interested In million
nlclpal reform and Eome of whom need to
have their attention called to the subject or
their sympathies aroused. Tha Invitations
might , with advantage , be wider than the
social lines laid down In the hostess' visiting
list , The- first hour and a half of the even
ing might bo occupied In short , pertinent ad-
dresse * . treating the general lines on which
the municipal reform work should bo con
ducted , but also leadingup to some practical
matters of Immediate local need. Then let
general discussion follow. The remainder of
the evening Is likely to manage Itself and to
flow alone smoothly enough. Conversation ,
aided by some light refreshment , will take
Its direction from the addresses and will be
as. abundant as need be. This Is a simple
expedient , but a very effective one for the
spread of Ideas and the creation of public
sentiment. Such meetings , held with reason
able frequency throughout a community. If
Judiciously managed , are. likely to accomplish
results which cannot be attained by more
formal and expensive public gatherings.
To the mind of the writer U see-ms clear
that one ot the most serious of our present
problems centers In the corrupt combination
of unscrupulous wraith and machine politics
which systematically corrupts legislation.
This dangerous condition , which tends to
bring a most Important political function Into
contempt and furnishes o plausible excuse
for lawless anarchistic utterances and acts ,
Is most apparent In our great cities. The
radical cure for this evil , which menaces our
entire government , Is to be found In a pro
found exigent public sentiment , working In
numerous practical ways toward the accom
plishment of civil service reform , and the
purification of the politics of our great cities.
Wo should be taught by tha alarming events
of the past lew weeks the folly of delay In
undertaking xo necessary awork and the
magnitude of the task which ite accomplish
ment Involves. HERBERT WELSH.

NEW YORK'S ' CONSTITUTION
Substance of the Proposed-Amendments to
the Organic Law.
VARIOUS IMPORTANT REFORMS OUTLINED
OTi-crful Foes nattllnc Agnlnst Its Adop
tion Opposition to the Apportionment ,
I'ool Soiling nnd Other Clauses
A borloas Error.
The amendments to the constitution of the
itate of New York , drafted by the late con-
tltutlonal convention , are to be passed upon
iy the electors at the approaching election.
The proposed changes In the organic law are
hirly-ono In number , and are submitted to
ho voters In three parts. The amendment
; overnlng the apportionment of the state
nto senate and assembly districts , and that
elating to the canals , are submitted separ-
tely , and the remaining twenty-nine must be
'Otcd on aa a whole.
The- first amendments propose a radical
ihange In the first article of the present
lonstltutlon. They authorize the passage ot
general laws for the drainage of agricultural
anils across the lands of others , prohibit
pool selling , bookmaklng , lotteries and all
'orms of gambling , and repeals the clause
Uniting to $5,000 the amount ot damages
ecoverablo for Injuries resulting In death.
The second clause of the- constitution , re
nting to the suffrage , la amended by making
ninety days the minimum tlmo In which a
'orelgner ' shall bo a citizen before ho can
rote. It also directs the leglsoture : to pass
laws excluding from citizenship persons con-
rlcted of bribery or other Infamous crimes ,
nmates of charitably Institutions not wholly
supported at public expense are not to be
deprived of their votes , but they are pro-
'ilblted from voting In the district In which
: he Institution Is situated. Only" by going to
ihclr former residence can they exercise the
right to vote.
llcgardlng registration , an amendment Is
submitted prohibiting the legislature from
requiring personal registration of voters In
communities having less than 6,000 Inhabi
tants. The legislature la given discretionary
power to adopt other means of voting than by
ballot. This Is Intended to permit the use of
voting machines. All registration and elec
tion boards shall be bipartisan. Hitherto
this plan has been confined to New York
City.
The amendments relating to the legislature
effect several Important reforms , In event
ot the lieutenant governor falling or refusing
to act In his capacity as presidingofllcer ol
the senate , the senate Is authorized to elect a
president , who shall perform the duties ol
the office. This Is designed to prevent a
repetition of an offense committed last win
ter , when the lieutenant governor attempted
to block legislation by refusing to entertain
motions. Every bill shall be on the tablet
of members , "In Its final form , " lor three
legislative days before It can become a law
unless the governor certifies under seal to
the necessity for Its Immediate passage. AS
an additional safeguard against hasty legisla
tion at the closing hours of a session , It la
provided that no amendment sha.ll be of
fered to a bill on Its last reading.
The apportionment article divides the state
Into fifty senate and 150 assembly districts
against thirty-two and 128 , respectively
under the present constitution. The plan o
apportionment departs from the common rule
of numerical representation In restricting the
county representation , regardless of popula
tlon. No one county can have more than
one-third of all the senators. , and New York
and Klngt , county together shall not have
more than half or that body , no matter how
large the combined population may ba. DIs
trlcts may be altered and made to corre
ipond with population within the limits
named , after the state census of 1903 , 0111
every ten years thereafter.
The amendments relating to the Judiciary
make many Important Improvements In th
existing system. An Intermediate appellat
court Is created , composed of five judge
appointed by the governor. Appeal
from thU court to the court o
appeals U limited to qifostions o
law. As the judges of the new court are note
to lit In department courts , ai U now tin
practice In the Intermediate supreme court o
tha state. It is expected they will have sum
clunt time for deliberation and consultatlo
and thus expedite the hearing of appeal * .
Two amendments cover very completely th
exlng question of appropriating- public
moneys for other than" public Institutions.
The legislature Is prohibited .from granting
money to , ony sectarian , school , nor shall
ny subdivision of the state appropriate money
or the support ot any , 'schoqf or Institution
learning "wholly or hv p rt , undergo con-
rol of any religious denomination , or In
which any dcrfbmlnallpn ienet or doctrine Is
aught , " The "state shall provide for the
maintenance and support of a system of
reo common schools , wherein all the children
f the state shall be educated. "
A state board of charities Is provided for
nd rested with the supervision and rcgula-
lon of all charitable and correctional instl-
utlons In the state not a state prison. The
oinmlssloncra are appointed by the governor ,
he senate concurring. The legislature is
uthorlzcd to make- what provision may seem
> roper to It for the blind , deaf and dumb and
uvenllo delinquents , and the duty of refl
ating such Institutions devolves on the com
missioners. Counties , municipalities and
ouns are flt liberty to provide for orphan
.sylums and other Institutions for the care
if the unfortunate , whether those Institutions
are under public or private control. They
are authorized to contribute to institutions
under private control , but no publlo money
may be expended for any .Inmate ot an In-
tllutlon who Is "not received and retained
herein pursuant to the rules established by
he State Board of Charities. "
The separation of federal and ttate elec-
lens Is provided for by an amendment mak-
ns the next state election In 1S97 and there
after every alternate year. The terms of
state olHccrs are reduced from three to two
rears.
The amendment relating to municipalities
divides the cities ot the state Into three
classes the first class consisting of cities
mvlng more than 250,000 people : the second ,
cltle-s having more than 00,000 apd less

Other amendments relate to matters of
purely local Interest.
Of the thirty-one amendments submitted
: o the voters only four provoke opposition ,
jut the manner of submission Is such that
he opposition threatens to defeat the entire
work of the convention. The apportionment
articles , against which the democracy Is
battling fiercely , is submitted separately and
may be defeated without Imperiling the re
mainder. Not only Is the Hill democracy
arraigned against It , but the mugwumps also ,
and all the Independent newspapers of New
York and Brooklyn. The main point of at
tack Is the provision giving an undue proportion
tion of representation to the rural over the
city districts.
The twenty-nine amendnients submitted as
a whole lnvo provokcdioppoeltlon of a dan
gerous kind In unexpected quarters. The
principal opposition comes from patrons of the

BATTLING FOR THE CAPITOL PRIZE
Unique and Vigorous Contest for tuo Kent

The ruddy glow of prospective gore lnges

) lalns of Miles City to the rugged cliffs qf
Callepell , and from the meadowy moorings ot
Vllssoula to the variegated shacks of Vir-
; lnla City a thrill of anxious suspense
pervades the land. The solemn hush that
precedes a battle envelops town and trail ,
and those peacefully inclined are scooting
'or ' shelter before the crash comes.
The Immediate causa ot these wide and
wild alarms Is the contest between Helena
and Anaconda for the capital prize.
Two years ago a preliminary bout was had ,
n which seven cltlea participated , viz :
Anaconda , Boulder Dozeman , Butte , Helena.
Deer Lodge and Great Falls. It was agreed
hat the two cities receiving the highest
vote should be the ilnal contestants for the
prize. Thus It happens that Helena , which
received 14,010 votes , and Anaconda , 10,183
votes , are now In the' race for blood and
victory.
Helena has been the territorial and tempo
rary state capltol since 1874. It Is con
ceded to be the most accessible , convenient
and attractive site for the seat of govern
ment , and having In possession a decided
advantage over Its competitor , It expects to
bo the winner. Dut talk and hope and su
perior advantages are not effective vote-
getters when pitted against boodle , booze and
corner lots. Ascend the barren crest of
Mount Helena , forming a background for
the city , and the eye rests , on an enchant
ing perspective. A well built city of 20.000
people , surrounding the old diggings of "Last
Chance , " and a ga'ntly sloping valley ,
twelve miles wide , through which the crystal
Missouri meanders , flanked with timbered
foothills. Toward the northwest , pierced by
the Northern Pacific , the countless tops of
the Bitter Root 'rango unfold themselves
to view , presenting a picture of marvellous
mountain beauty. To the west mountain
peaks rise to loftier heights and kiss the
receding sun. Southward the spurs of the
Prickly Pear valley and the snow capped
dome of Old Baldy , forty miles away. The
pioneers of the city , forlorn and fatigued
proapectora though they were , might have
searched the valley In vain for a more dc
llghtful spot to pitch their tents and fouhO
a city. Little did they dream when , dis
couraged by months of fruitless prospecting
they threw themselves on the rocky sides
of a purling creek , exclaiming , "This Is our
last chance , " that a city would rise above
the gVavelcd earth from which fortunes
were extracted. The city Is substantially
built , stone butdings predominating. I
has all the accessories of a progressive
wealthy and prosperous community ot 20,000
people , and Is surrounded by mineral wealth
In product and value second only to Butte.

Ho Is a democrat when the ticket Is to hi
liking , and a republican when Ills Interests
end that way. At all times he Is for Marcus
Daly and Anaconda. Ho makes and unmakes
lolltlclans , as several distinguished aspirants
mow to their sorrow. Tno.mas H. Carter ,
H-congrcssman , land commissioner under
larrlson and chairman of the republican na-
Ibnal committee , was boosted to fame by
) aly , not because Daly loved Thomas H. ,
mt because he hfld a score to settle with his
pponent. Vf. A. Clarke of Butte. Some years ,
ack Clarke purchased at a nominal figure a
vater right which was necessary to the suc-
cssful operation of Daly's mills at Ana-
onda. He pinched : Daly for (100,000 ( on that
cal , and Daly Is squaring the account by de
grees. Clarke was defeated for congress In
SS8 and his defeat for United States senator
n 1892 was due to Daly's power In perfecting
deadlock In the legislature.
Lavish with money , unscrupulous as to
means , and a spirit that knows no defeat ,
Mr. Daly and his town will give Helena a
Ively chase for the capltol prize. No wonder
lie denizens ot Last Chance arc In a per-
plratlon , and scarcely know which way to
urn to circumvent the combinations of the
error of Silver How.
The unique campaign Is getting decidedly
- arm and vituperative. Helena at the outset
Idlculed the pretensions ot Anaconda , dub-
Ing It a Jay town In jeans and similar en
coring terms. Daly retaliated with what
10 conceived to Ge a knock-out a pamphlet
r of 11 sel y Illustrated with pictures showing
he shallow , kid glove cult ot the erstwhile
apllal city. The point of the pamphlet
was to prove that while Helenaltes lived by

The ladles of Helena , feeling grtevtously In

lauding their home city to the ekles. Their
missionary work Is actively supported by
the men of Helena , who are not only out
For scalps , but propose to put up two dollars
to Marcus Daly'ts one nnd fight It out on that
line till the last vote Is counted on Novem

Helena expects to hold the vote cast for
tier tno years- ago , and In addition the votes
of east sld ) towns , which were scattered at
that election. This alone would give her
20,000 votes , about one-half of the number

Menacing Evils of the Spoils System in Popular Government.
THE QUESTION OF MUNICIPAL REFORM
- Municipal Government and Political Reform in America
There are two political reform movements which have long been before the American public separately, both of which would gain much at the present moment by a close connection. They are naturally and logically united, and there will be great practical benefit to the public if there is a general popular recognition of the relationship. These are civil service reform and municipal reform. Both movements spring from a deep desire to sustain the American Idea of free institutions guarded by law and based upon sound moral and intellectual principles, to guard that idea from the inevitable attacks of ignorance, greed, and self-interest, intellectual and moral aspirations, which are so greatly nourished and stimulated by religion and by institutions of learning, are necessary to save the country from that narrow selfishness which is always opposed to the public welfare, and from the control of popular sophisms which result from mingled intellectual unsoundness and moral perversity. Men and women who, by reason of individual nature and of education, are peculiarly susceptible to such aspiration, who are sincerely and intelligently patriotic, can with especial profit give close study to these two reforms, their history, characteristics, and purpose, and they should use the means at hand to promote them. For not since the civil war, certainly, has there been a moment when a return to foundation principles was more necessary than at present, when there was more need to urge our people to look to the rock whence we are hewn, the pit whence we are digged.
The converse of the civil service reform idea or the merit system, a more lucid and descriptive term, is the spoils system. These two opposed terms simply represent two frankly antagonistic ideas, which find their origin respectively in good and bad motives of human nature. The merit system is the expression of those who would use all the non-political machinery of the government, federal, state, and municipal, all those offices which are concerned simply with the honest and efficient administration of business, not as bribes or rewards for party service, but with a view to the best interests of the public. The spoils system, on the other hand, is the expression of those, some of whom do not care primarily, some not at all about the public welfare, who would use these offices and the salaries and influence which are attached to them for the good of the party to which they belong, or of the clique within the party, or of their friends, or most individually and selfishly of themselves. Of course, there will always be until the millennium these two antagonistic classes of men in this or other countries, but the adoption of civil service reform laws and the propagation of the civil service reform spirit will turn the balance of power on the side of the better class of men with the sound principles. Instead of leaving the worse class of men with the also destructive principle free to get the illicit rewards they are in search of and do all the harm they desire. The question for us to consider is whether the friends of good government or its enemies shall hold the redoubt. The salaries attached to the federal civil service offices alone represent more than $60,000,000. It is a serious thing if you say to 60,000,000 people that this great sum and all represented by state and municipal service besides, is offered in a game of grab, that it is not to be used as the wage of legitimate service rendered to the public under conditions which shall stimulate motives of self-respect and procure the best work, but that it is the prize of the strongest, the spoil of the fiercest and the least scrupulous who can seize and devour it. The spoils idea appeals to all that is base and solitary in human nature, and with the immense rewards it has to offer, it is not to be wondered at that it has gained a power so tremendous and so baleful in American politics. But it is inexplicable that a people so keen-sighted, among whom education is so general as ours, should not have perceived the dangerous nature of the guest which they were admitting when, in spite of the example and the precept of earlier statesmen of Washington, Madison, John Quincy Adams, Jefferson, and others, they opened the door of American politics to the spoils system. As fatal an enemy of our free institutions as the sea to the meadows of Holland, the spoils system once let in by natural folly has ravaged the wide domain of our public life. It has given us machine government, a political monstrosity which destroys conscience, crushes manhood and independence, and is designed only to let greedy men into the public treasury. It has lowered the tone of all our public life, executive and legislative, putting many men in office to make laws and to carry them out who have been forced by the conditions which created their political life to think not of the things which ought to be done for the public good, but of what will help the party, or more frequently, help self. The influence of the spoils idea has been nowhere more apparent than in the great range of public work, whether belonging to the federal, state, or municipal service, which is concerned with the education or the care of human beings, and the relief of human suffering - the Indian service, public education, public hospitals, insane asylums, and similar branches of public philanthropic work. In such departments of effort it has meant murder, theft, cruelty. In inefficiency, infinite loss in various kinds. The cold intellectual abstraction which the term civil service suggests assumes a vital meaning to one who, from actual experience, has learned to know and hate the spoils system, because his line of experience has taught him how evil are its deeds. Personal experience in Indian affairs taught the writer that a peaceful and satisfactory solution of that problem was obstructed mainly by the spoils system, which let every sound principle of management at defiance by effecting appointments and removals so that faithful and intelligent service was persistently buffeted and discouraged, while incompetency, dishonesty, and vice were rewarded, and a general condition of chaos maintained. But this practical experience had also a bright side, since it showed clearly how effectively intelligent work may remove such evils as formerly were rampant in the Indian service. By a systematic, constant appeal to public sentiment, based upon actual and clearly stated facts, the spoils system, while it has not yet been wholly destroyed, has been at least greatly weakened, while the merit system has been introduced, has produced hopeful results, and is slowly but steadily winning its way.
It is interesting to note how this encouraging change for the better has gradually been wrought in the Indian service; it is valuable also to note it, because the methods by which the change has been effected can be applied equally well to promote civil service reform throughout the full range of our public life.
Every effort should be made to interest a much larger number of our people in an understanding and use of such methods, so that they may apply them freely and effectively for themselves, so that harmonious and effective action aiming to secure good government may take the place of an impotent desire to have it. The civil service reformers have accomplished remarkable results considering their insignificant number and the obstacles opposed to them, but how much larger would those results have been had funds been at their disposal to effect a more vigorous agitation. It may safely be assumed that every public evil will succumb to public sentiment, but the problem is just how to create an intelligent and sound public sentiment, and then to give it the chance to act in time - before the harm which it is designed to prevent has been done. We must do precisely that for public sentiment which the gun barrel does for the powder which makes the explosion effective and drives the bullet to the mark. The Indian Rights association planted and fostered civil service reform in the Indian service in a way that a few words will explain. The association's first strong move was to acquaint itself with facts by frequent tours of its members and agents upon the western reservations. Then it came to speak with authority, and its statement of facts could not be successfully disputed. The association soon learned that its main objective point must be the instruction of the spoils system unreasonably partisan changes in the personnel of the service. Such a change of theory in its management was absolutely necessary to supply a solid foundation for all kinds of work. The association found many faithful, good people among agents and subordinates in the service, who under the spoils system would be dismissed with the outgoing of the administrations which appointed them. The problem was to protect these people from removal by calling public attention to their work, their merits, and the importance of their retention. Of course, this was trying work; it meant constant persuasion, drudgery, conflict even, with republican and democratic administrations. It meant arguing with the officers of the government and the public through the newspapers, case after case. Such work has been carried on for twelve years. The general principles of civil service reform could be elucidated with telling force by illustrations of individual cases of money and folly involved in removals for spoils. But the results were full compensation for the trouble involved. Today, 700 places in the Indian service are under civil service rules, and the merit idea is making constant headway. All the while, the standards in the management are lifting. It is easy to point out the elements of success in this peculiar work. One or two members of the association gave up almost all their time and thought to the work; they made a business of it. At less cost it could not have been done. This is the first point. Their appeal to the public aroused interest, because it was made upon an indisputable basis of fact. When the association made requests or demands of the government, it spoke as "one having authority," because it had public sentiment behind it. Without this support of public sentiment, its own requests, no matter how just or reasonable they might have been, would, in most cases, have accomplished little or nothing. The effective power evolved resulted from the combination of an alert organization, which had sufficient funds both to acquire its ammunition of facts and to place them before the public, and a responsive public which was ready to give the organization the power for which it asked. The organization would have been powerless without the public, and the public without the organization, to effect the end desired. The organization, by such popular work running on rational lines, all that is good in public life is sustained and strengthened, all officers who wish to do their duty are supported.
The work of the Indian Rights association has been given only as illustrative of the precise kind of effort which at this juncture the country most needs. It is a systematic, well-directed effort to turn latent forces for good into active, vitalizing forces connecting with our public and political life. When our institutions are subjected to severe strain from political corruptions of various kinds, when grave public questions receive unsatisfactory treatment from poor material with which the spoils system fills our public offices, it is time to give the question of reform serious consideration. We have allowed the poorest, least thoughtful, and conscientious elements of our population, acting through the medium of the spoils system and of the machine, to gain control of our politics. We have not taken our public life seriously enough, and now we are apprised of the danger of such poor and light-hearted indifference when the time of harvest is come. When grave emergencies arise, and we find weak, evil-disposed, or corrupt men in places of power, it becomes clear as noonday that the question of public administration is among the most serious of all questions. The two routes by which a reform of American politics, which the present condition of public affairs shows to be imperative, can best be reached, are, in the opinion of the writer, civil service reform and municipal reform. Let us keep the thought clearly in mind that both reforms are coordinate; both must be pressed forward at once and in harmonious union. Civil service reform, in which the late George William Curtis was the distinguished leader, has already by his efforts and those of the comparatively small number of men associated with him accomplished much, but the main work is yet to come. It can only come through strong organization acting on public sentiment. The practical step to be taken is to strengthen and develop immediately the National Civil Service Reform league, of which Hon. Carl Schurz is the president and Mr. William Potts is the secretary. The headquarters of the league are in New York City. This organization should be equipped with not less than $15,000 annually, so that it can at once promote local organizations in all parts of the country where they are needed, but especially in the south and west. The movement for the reform of municipal government which is at present being agitated in many leading cities of the country, and for the management of which the National Municipal league has been organized, is based on civil service reform principles.
The question of getting men of character and efficiency into office and of holding them there despite the importunities or changes of partisanship, is the vital question. To convince voters that national questions should not be discussed and national campaigns fought within the sphere of municipal affairs is the hard task before us; for nothing seems in practice more difficult than to induce otherwise intelligent men to abandon so evident and dangerous a fallacy as that which maintains that good city government can be had by action guided on party lines. The city must be ruled, not with a view to affecting this or that national issue, but to promote the comfort and welfare of its citizens. But it is also true that by setting the city to mind its own business we shall indirectly purify politics at large, for national politics find a great source of corruption in machine rule, which centers in the great cities; free them from that tyranny of the machine and they cannot but be immensely benefited. The most essential means to the maintenance of any effective municipal league or organization which aims to secure good city government is some method whereby those who are engaged in the work may have frequent and systematic opportunity for studying and discussing the problem in its practical and incidental phases. There must be the opportunity for easy and frequent associations if any effective organization of the dormant forces of good is to be obtained. Probably the simplest and best means for obtaining such association will be found in "the parlor meeting." The politician has the liquor saloon for perfecting his plans and oiling his machine. The municipal reformer must have his "parlor meeting." The social quality must mingle with the intellectual and moral in this enterprise. Let some intelligent woman interested in the cause and gifted with social tact invite to her house a few friends of both sexes, some of whom are interested in municipal reform and some of whom need to have their attention called to the subject or their sympathies aroused. The invitations might, with advantage, be wider than the social lines laid down in the hostess' visiting list. The first hour and a half of the evening might be occupied in short, pertinent addresses treating the general lines on which the municipal reform work should be conducted, but also leading up to some practical matters of immediate local need. Then let general discussion follow. The remainder of the evening is likely to manage itself and to flow along smoothly enough. Conversation, aided by some light refreshment, will take its direction from the addresses and will be as abundant as need be. This is a simple expedient, but a very effective one for the spread of ideas and the creation of public sentiment. Such meetings, held with reasonable frequency throughout a community, if judiciously managed, are likely to accomplish results which cannot be attained by more formal and expensive public gatherings.
To the mind of the writer it seems clear that one of the most serious of our present problems centers in the corrupt combination of unscrupulous wealth and machine politics which systematically corrupts legislation. This dangerous condition, which tends to bring a most important political function into contempt and furnishes a plausible excuse for lawless anarchistic utterances and acts, is most apparent in our great cities. The radical cure for this evil, which menaces our entire government, is to be found in a profound and genuine public sentiment, working in numerous practical ways toward the accomplishment of civil service reform, and the purification of the politics of our great cities. We should be taught by the alarming events of the past few weeks the folly of delay in undertaking this necessary work and the magnitude of the task which its accomplishment involves. HERBERT WELSH.

NEW YORK'S CONSTITUTION
Substance of the Proposed Amendments to the Organic Law.
VARIOUS IMPORTANT REFORMS OUTLINED
Obstacles Facing Adoption Opposition to the Apportionment, Pool Selling and Other Clauses
A Constitutional Error.
The amendments to the constitution of the state of New York, drafted by the late constitutional convention, are to be passed upon by the electors at the approaching election. The proposed changes in the organic law are chiefly one in number, and are submitted to the voters in three parts. The amendment overhuling the apportionment of the state into senate and assembly districts, and that relating to the canals, are submitted separately, and the remaining twenty-nine must be voted on as a whole.
The first amendments propose a radical change in the first article of the present constitution. They authorize the passage of general laws for the drainage of agricultural lands across the lands of others, prohibit pool selling, bookmaking, lotteries and all forms of gambling, and repeal the clause uniting up to $5,000 the amount of damages recoverable for injuries resulting in death.
The second clause of the constitution, relating to the suffrage, is amended by making ninety days the minimum time in which a foreigner shall be a citizen before he can vote. It also directs the legislature: to pass laws excluding from citizenship persons convicted of bribery or other infamous crimes, inmates of charitably supported institutions are not to be deprived of their votes, but they are prohibited from voting in the district in which the institution is situated. Only by going to their former residence can they exercise the right to vote.
Regarding registration, an amendment is submitted prohibiting the legislature from requiring personal registration of voters in communities having less than 6,000 inhabitants. The legislature is given discretionary power to adopt other means of voting than by ballot. This is intended to permit the use of voting machines. All registration and election boards shall be bipartisan. Hitherto this plan has been confined to New York City.
The amendments relating to the legislature effect several important reforms. In the event of the lieutenant governor falling or refusing to act in his capacity as presiding officer of the senate, the senate is authorized to elect a president, who shall perform the duties of the office. This is designed to prevent a repetition of an offense committed last winter, when the lieutenant governor attempted to block legislation by refusing to entertain motions. Every bill shall be on the table of members, "in its final form," for three legislative days before it can become a law unless the governor certifies under seal to the necessity for its immediate passage. As an additional safeguard against hasty legislation at the closing hours of a session, it is provided that no amendment shall be offered to a bill on its last reading.
The apportionment article divides the state into fifty senate and 150 assembly districts, against thirty-two and 128, respectively, under the present constitution. The plan of apportionment departs from the common rule of numerical representation in restricting the county representation, regardless of population. No one county can have more than one-third of all the senators, and New York and King counties together shall not have more than half or that body, no matter how large the combined population may be. Districts may be altered and made to correspond with population within the limits named, after the state census of 1903, and every ten years thereafter.
The amendments relating to the Judiciary make many important improvements in the existing system. An intermediate appellate court is created, composed of five judges appointed by the governor. Appeal from this court to the court of appeals is limited to questions of law. As the judges of the new court are not members of department courts, as is now the practice in the intermediate supreme court of the state, it is expected they will have sufficient time for deliberation and consultation and thus expedite the hearing of appeals.
Two amendments cover very completely the existing question of appropriating public moneys for other than public institutions. The legislature is prohibited from granting money to any sectarian school, nor shall any subdivision of the state appropriate money for the support of any school or institution of learning "wholly or in part, under control of any religious denomination, or in which any denomination, association, or doctrine is taught." The "state shall provide for the maintenance and support of a system of free common schools, wherein all the children of the state shall be educated."
A state board of charities is provided for and rested with the supervision and regulation of all charitable and correctional institutions in the state not including state prisons. The commissioners are appointed by the governor, the senate concurring. The legislature is authorized to make what provision may seem proper to it for the blind, deaf and dumb and juvenile delinquents, and the duty of relating such institutions devolves on the commissioners. Counties, municipalities, and towns are at liberty to provide for orphan asylums and other institutions for the care of the unfortunate, whether those institutions are under public or private control. They are authorized to contribute to institutions under private control, but no public money may be expended for any inmate of an institution who is "not received and retained therein pursuant to the rules established by the State Board of Charities."
The separation of federal and state elections is provided for by an amendment making the next state election in 1897 and thereafter every alternate year. The terms of state officers are reduced from three to two years.
The amendment relating to municipalities divides the cities of the state into three classes, the first class consisting of cities having more than 250,000 people; the second, cities having more than 50,000 and less than 250,000, and the third all lesser cities. General laws may be passed governing the cities in each class. All special laws are to be submitted to the city affected and if it is disapproved by the city speaking through its mayor and council, it must be again passed by the legislature before it can be sent to the governor.
Other amendments relate to matters of purely local interest.
Of the thirty-one amendments submitted to the voters, only four provoke opposition, but the manner of submission is such that the opposition threatens to defeat the entire work of the convention. The apportionment article, against which the democracy is battling fiercely, is submitted separately and may be defeated without imperiling the remainder. Not only is the Hill democracy arraigned against it, but the mugwumps also, and all the independent newspapers of New York and Brooklyn. The main point of attack is the provision giving an undue proportion of representation to the rural over the city districts.
The twenty-nine amendments submitted as a whole have provoked opposition of a dangerous kind in unexpected quarters. The principal opposition comes from patrons of the turf, who are against the amendment prohibiting pool selling and bookmaking at races. This is a very powerful element of New York's population, and they are in the fight with the despised-of-men battling for the existence of their favorite sport. Interviews with horsemen, county fair officials, and others, published in the New York Herald, show a practically unanimous sentiment against the destruction of a business in which millions are involved, and their following is sufficiently numerous and influential to seriously alarm the friends of the proposed constitution. The corporations will undoubtedly fight the amendment repealing the $5,000 damage clause and leaving to juries the question of a penalty of damages to be recovered for injuries resulting in death. Their opposition, however, is carried on under cover, as a public demonstration would prove a boomerang. There are many ways of killing a cat without working a brass band while the massacre is on. Sharp opposition has also developed against the amendment limiting the employment of convicts in prison. Another obstruction to success is the growing fear that the clause relating to "other forms of gambling" may, if adopted, imperil speculation in the various commercial and financial exchanges of the state. The fear is accelerated by the announcement of the prosecuting attorney of New York City that he will, if the amendment becomes a law, prosecute all complaints against parties coining in options wherein the goods are not delivered.
Last but not least is the discovery of an error in the final clause of the proposed constitution. It provides that "the constitution shall be in force from and including the first day of January, 1895." This nullifies the election of members of the next legislature and if adopted will leave the state without a legislature until 1898.
IMPERIOUS CAESAR CUFFED
"The Autocrat of Anaconda Booses the Ire of Helena People,"
BATTLING FOR THE CAPITAL PRIZE
Unique and Vigorous Contest for the Tent of Government of Montana. The Connecting Cities, Their Surroundings and Chronicles.
The ruddy glow of prospective gorings heaves the hilltops of Montana. From the placid plains of Miles City to the rugged cliffs of Callepell, and from the meadowy moorings of Villisonia to the variegated shacks of Virginia City, a thrill of anxious suspense pervades the land. The solemn hush that precedes a battle envelops town and trail, and those peacefully inclined are seeking shelter before the crash comes.
The immediate cause of these wide and wild alarms is the contest between Helena and Anaconda for the capital prize.
Two years ago a preliminary bout was had, in which seven cities participated, viz: Anaconda, Boulder, Deer Lodge, Butte, Helena, Great Falls, and Glasgow. It was agreed that the two cities receiving the highest vote should be the final contestants for the prize. Thus it happens that Helena, which received 14,010 votes, and Anaconda, 10,183 votes, are now in the race for blood and victory.
Helena has been the territorial and temporary state capital since 1874. It is conceded to be the most accessible, convenient, and attractive site for the seat of government, and having in possession a decided advantage over its competitor, it expects to be the winner. But talk and hope and superior advantages are not effective vote-getters when pitted against boodle, booze, and corner lots. Ascend the barren crest of Mount Helena, forming a background for the city, and the eye rests on an enchanting perspective. A well-built city of 20,000 people, surrounding the old diggings of "Last Chance," and a gently sloping valley, twelve miles wide, through which the crystal Missouri meanders, flanked with timbered foothills. Toward the northwest, pierced by the Northern Pacific, the countless tops of the Bitter Root range unfold themselves to view, presenting a picture of marvellous mountain beauty. To the west, mountain peaks rise to loftier heights and kiss the receding sun. Southward, the spurs of the Prickly Pear valley and the snow-capped dome of Old Baldy, forty miles away. The pioneers of the city, forlorn and fatigued prospectors though they were, might have searched the valley in vain for a more delightful spot to pitch their tents and found a city. Little did they dream when, discouraged by months of fruitless prospecting, they threw themselves on the rocky sides of a purling creek, exclaiming, "This is our last chance," that a city would rise above the savaged earth from which fortunes were extracted. The city is substantially built, stone buildings predominating. It has all the accessories of a progressive, wealthy, and prosperous community of 20,000 people, and is surrounded by mineral wealth in product and value second only to Butte. Anaconda is on the west side of the Bitter Root range, twenty-eight miles from Butte. It is wedged in between two mountain spurs enclosing a narrow valley through which flows a branch of the Silver Bow river. The town was founded by Marcus Daly, and was named after the mines in Butte, owned by the company of the same name, of which he is president and general manager. The company owns the town and Daly runs it. Here the company's smelters are located and when in full blast give employment to 3,000 men. Outside of the smelting plant and a handsome hotel, the finest in the state, the buildings give one an exceeding tired feeling, They lack the metropolitan mold, for the reason that the town, dependent as it is on one chief industry, furnishes no incentive for the enterprising investor. Mr. Marcus Daly is the autocrat of Anaconda and exerts a powerful pull in Butte and more remote points. He struck the site of Butte on foot with a blanket on his back, touched the earth with a pick, and is now worth anywhere from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000. He is a democrat when the ticket is to his liking, and a republican when his interests end that way. At all times he is for Marcus Daly and Anaconda. He makes and unmakes politicians, as several distinguished aspirants now to their sorrow. Thomas H. Carter, congressman, land commissioner under Harrison and chairman of the republican national committee, was boosted to fame by Daly, not because Daly loved Thomas H., but because he had a score to settle with his opponent. W. A. Clarke of Butte. Some years ago Clarke purchased at a nominal figure a water right which was necessary to the successful operation of Daly's mills at Anaconda. He pinched Daly for $100,000 on that deal, and Daly is squaring the account by degrees. Clarke was defeated for congress in 1888 and his defeat for United States senator in 1892 was due to Daly's power in perfecting a deadlock in the legislature. Lavish with money, unscrupulous as to means, and a spirit that knows no defeat, Mr. Daly and his town will give Helena a lively chase for the capital prize. No wonder the denizens of Last Chance are in a perspiration, and scarcely know which way to turn to circumvent the combinations of the error of Silver Bow.
The unique campaign is getting decidedly warm and vituperative. Helena at the outset ridiculed the pretensions of Anaconda, dubbing it a jay town in jeans and similar encoring terms. Daly retaliated with what he conceived to be a knock-out, a pamphlet of self-laceration, illustrated with pictures showing the shallow, kid glove cult of the erstwhile capital city. The point of the pamphlet was to prove that while Helenites lived by their wits, Anaconda thrived and prospered in the dinner pail brigade. To make the clear, a series of statistics were inserted, of which the following is a sample:
Helena, Anaconda.
Men who wear kid gloves 4,852
Men who wear overalls 3,220
Talents on knees 0 203
Niches on consciences 1,318
Clinkers in daily use... 2 4,028
Manhattan cocktails, daily consumption 17,500 127
Glasses, daily consumption... 18,500 150
Stears, daily consumption 4,088 5,851
Potters who do their own fishing... 3,773
Adleson who do the skirt dance... 5,851
Potters who kick the chandler 140 0
Potters who rip other ladies up 1,248 117
Skeletons in closets 1,393 16
The shabby content of brown and cullet set Helena by the ears and raised town pride to a fighting pitch. Daly's campaign scavenger imagined the pamphlet would arouse the workingmen in favor of Anaconda, but the indications point to a contrary effect. The ladies of Helena, feeling grievously insulted, are up in arms, organized, and going from town to town exposing Daly and his own to the sneers of the multitude and lauding their home city to the skies. Their missionary work is actively supported by the men of Helena, who are not only out for scalps, but propose to put up two dollars to Marcus Daly's one and fight it out on that line till the last vote is counted on November C.
Helena expects to hold the votes cast for her two years ago, and in addition the votes of east side towns, which were scattered at that election. This alone would give her 20,000 votes, about one-half of the number expected to be cast, She also expects to make inroads in Anaconda's strength on the west side by working on the jealousy of rival towns.
The battle is an interesting spectacle at a distance and the result will be awaited with impatient interest.
A Hull a Horrible Time of It,
While in Chicago, Mr. Charles L. Kahler, a prominent shoe merchant of Des Moines, Iowa, had quite a serious time of it. He took such a severe cold that he could hardly talk or navigate, but the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy cured him of his cold so quickly that others at the hotel who had bad colds followed his example, and half a dozen persons ordered it from the nearest drug store. They were profuse in their thanks to Mr. Kahler for telling them how to cure a bad cold so quickly. For sale by druggists.

Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould, the author of the popular hymn, "Onward, Christian Soldiers," is at once a country parson, a country squire, a lord of the manor, a sermon writer, a student of comparative religion, a popular novelist, and a poet. He has written many books, is deeply versed in medieval myths and legends, and at the same time is an expert on modern life and progress. He is sixty years old, and lives in the beautiful old Elizabethan manor house at Lew Trenchard, where the Gould family have lived ever since the days of James I.
In order to allow tired mothers, who cannot leave their children at home, to attend public service on Sunday, Rev. Charles Townsend, pastor of the Woodland Avenue Presbyterian Church of Cleveland, Ohio, has established a sort of nursery in the chapel of the church. Mothers bring their little children there and leave them during the service in the hands of trustworthy persons. The privilege is a free one open to all mothers, and it is said that many have enjoyed it.
Dr. Good, a missionary in the interior of Africa, says that the poverty of the native languages is a serious hindrance to missionary effort. In the Bulo language, for instance, there is no word for "thanks" or "thankfulness." "To believe," "to trust," "to have faith" are all expressed by one verb to which there is no corresponding noun. There is no word for "spirit." The Bulo have always believed in an invisible god, but they have never given such a being a name. With the Bulo, a living man has a body and a shadow, the literal shape cast by the living person which at death leaves the body and becomes a disembodied spirit with a new name which cannot be used to apply to God and the angels. So Dr. Good is driven to say that God is a "shadow" and that Christ will send his "holy shadow" into men's hearts, etc.
The Fun of the Thing, A boy who was recently sent to a boarding school, says the New York Tribune, has just sent the following letter to his loving and anxious mother: "I got here all right and I forgot to write before. It is a very nice place to have fun. A fella and I went out in a boat and the boat tipped over and a man got me out, and I was so full of water that I didn't know anything for a good long while. The other boy has to be buried after they find him. His mother came from Lincoln and she cries all the time. A horse kicked me over and I have got to have some money to pay the doctor for fixing my head. We are going to set an old barn on fire tonight, and I think we'll have bully fun. I lost my watch and I am very sorry. I shall bring home some mud turtles, and I shall bring home a tame woodchuck. If I can get them in my trunk."
Mother Horror! How did you get so muddy? Small Son arriving home to see it there, wait anything you wanted in? To the church. | 22 |

r.llls were Introduced at the last SOK-
Ion of congress making the holding up
f trains e'ngnued u Interstate conimorcc
i national offense , punishable under the'
IUVH of the United States , but no action
H'.vond mere reference was taken on
ny of them. The several train rob-
lerles that have recently occurred , one
if them within a few miles of the mi-
lonnl capital , will probably h'ave the
'Itect to Induce congress at the coming
session to give more attention to the
proposed legislation , and perhaps to
; as.s a law that will authorize the use
> f the national power In hunting down
hose who commit this crime. It appears
n be certain that unlit this is done and
snclf legislation Is supplemented by
stringent state laws for the punishment
: > f train .robbing this crime will continue
: o prevail with periodical outbreaks
sui'h as have been witnessed during the
last two years.
This matter was discussed at a recent
neetlng of the presidents of the express
companies , who want national leglsla-
lou. They say that the state laws and
the state courts fail to secure the pun-
.shiuent of the guilty , both because tbi' '
state court's do not want to Incur thr
xpenso of a trial , and also because when
Limm Is arraigned on the charge of
rain robbery his neighbors sympathlzt
.vltli . him and sunlit him when they try
him. Probably there is not very good
grounds for this latter statement , but it
s n fact that tate authorities have not
generally been * as diligent in hunting
down this class of criminals as In tin
case of other classes , the feeling , seem
ing to be that this work belongs initial }
to the express companies , and that If
they do not properly protect "themselves
they must suffer the consequences. The
express companies have never attempted
to avoid doing their share In hunting
down train robbers. Whether their
losses by robbery were small or large
they have always endeavored to securi ,
the apprehension and punishment of the
perpetrators. It has been wild that al
oHt , If not quite , ns much money has
been expended by the companies In this
work ns the amount of the losses thej
have suffered.
Hut however this may be , It wll
hardly bu seriously contended that tin.
sreater rnrt of tins task of bringing trail
robbers to justice ought to be dcvolvec
on the express companies. Certalnlj
the whole public Is Interested In tin
suppression of this form of crime , whlcl
la not Infrequently accompanied wltl
the shedding of blood. Manifestly It I
the duty of each political community to
prevent crime within Its awn limitsam
it Is also the duty of tmch community to
detect crime , to pursue criminals and t
procure their conviction. It seems to b
an entirely sound proposition that It 1
Just ns much the business of the com
tmmlty to prevent robbery on therai :
roads as on the highways ; Just as inuc
Its business ta prevent , or at least pun
Ish , the looting of express earn as th
burglarizing of a store or residence Th
trouble is not that tralu rohbura cunuo
' > . iiimisLcd. The
dlUlculty la that til
nthorltltt * who ought lo bring them to
) tinlshtuent arc not as diligent In the
lerfonnance of their duty ns they ought
o be. Unt more stringent laws for the
ircvcntlon and punishment of tralu rob *
) lng are undoubtedly needed , ami there
ppenrs to be no good reason why there
lould not -national legislation nppll-
able to this crime when committed on
rains engaged in interstate commerce.
At the same time It Is necessary to oh-
crve that the express companies should
mploy every reasonable precaution to
rotect themselves from roblwry. Gov-
rnmcnt protects private citizens nnd
mulshes Ittn'glnrs who break Into their
louses , but the citizens know that they
re expected to take proper precautions
gnlnst robbers. While It must bo con-
cded that the express companies have n
Ight to public protection It Is not too
inch lo expect that they will use every
roper means at their command to pro-
ect themselves.
1'UltLIC rlJvn.PrtMVlT/'J ' SCHOOLS.
Charles Dudley Warner has given over
part of the space allotted to the. Kd-
tor's Study In the current Harper's
lonthly to a severe atralgnment of the
ubllc schools as ineie machines for the
evelopment of automatons to lit Into
ur scheme of universal suffrage. He
eghis by picturing a hypothetical sys-
'iii of popular education , such as he in
mates existed In the I'nlted States
bout llfty years ago , In which the
chools were In the control of committees
lectetl by a majority , without practical
xperlence lu the training of the mind ,
cllcvlng that what the pupil .needs is
ontact with the greatest number of top
es In the shortest space of time , select-
ig tea hers upon their own examln tlon
f qualllications and paying them very
iw salaries , and esteeming higher the
erfectlon of the system limn of the
ntelllgence of the operators or of their
tness for their occupation. Our c-ducn-
loual machine , we are told , has been
vonderfully perfected since 18'Kt. No
ne can withhold his admiration of It.
Jut the Improvement has been In the
chool house and Its apparatus , It has
> ecn toward making the system more
nachlne-llke , too mechanical nud ti/o
heap. "Could the state , " Mr. Winner
sks , "make a heavy Investment In any
) lher thing so prolltabh' to Itself us In
Jie real training of the minds of Its clt-
y.ensV"
To come up to the desired standard
lie tchcol.s would hav < > to be leoivanlxe 1
o as to give the pupil an Individuality ,
ndlvldiiality can be obtained duly
hrough teaehcj's of strong personality ,
onchers who have studied the theory of
'ducntlon ' and who niv able to apply it
n practice , feachers who are allowed to
like the initiative and to develop orlgl-
ni 1 methods. The teachers ( n the public
ehools do not , In Mr. Warner's opln-
on. conform to these requirements. In
ils hypothetical system of education a
great proportion of the teachers , if not
majority , were In fact "Ignorant.youug
glils or unformed young men , " and in
his respec-t he does not think we are'
ible to point to any advance. Kveu
l ese teachers who are really able and
nmpetent make their schools as giwd as
he system will permit , but they are
it'ld back by the machine of which they
ire apait. . For Individuality in oducn-
ion we are directed to the old academy.
\ few si cIn ens lemaln In various p. rts
if the country and maintain reputations
is centers of real education. They have
irospered or lagged ns their head maser -
er has changed , the personality of the
llrector being the foundation of their
Kucces . They are In almost every instance -
stance private schools , and their Income
depends upon their attractiveness , Mr.
Warner Is inclined to believe that the
ecent Increase In the number of private
schools and In the number of boys nnd
girls attending them Is to be viewed as
return to the old academy system. To
use his words , "this movement Is not ac
. ounteU for by an undemocratic reluc-
: ance to submit well-bred children to the
association of the private schools , but by
the , failure of these schools to give the
sort of Intellectual and moral training
leslred that Is , the sort of. education
that raises the Ideal In life. "
But Is It not a serious question
whether the private schools are today
actually accomplishing their work any
better than the- public schools ? And If
they were doing MO , would It not be an
irgument more for the Improvement of
the public schools than for the extension
of the private schools ? There Is much
that Is of value In the democratic atmos
phere In schools that are open to all
, illke. There is discipline In the very
muchlne-Ilke exactness with which nil
pupils are required to pass through the
same recitations and examinations. If
personality and individuality can be se
cured in the teachers who are engaged
In the private schools , why can they uol
also be had in the public , schools ? And
as to the pay of teachers , it Is doubtful
whether on the whole those In prlvafV
schools are more liberally treated than
those In public schools. There Is no rea
son why the public schools should not
offer every advantage of the prlvah
school , except the exclusive association
If they do not at the present time the
work of our educators should consist li
Improving the public school systen
rather than In building up a new systen
of private schools.
The bureau of labor Is actively en
gaged In an Investigation the resufts o
which are expected to be of great value
Congress at Its last session passed a res
olutlon directing the commissioner o
labor to Investigate and report upon HIL
effect of the use of machinery upoi
labor to Investigate nnd report upon tin
tttivo productive power of hand and ma
chine labor , the cost of manual and ma
chine power as they are used In produc
tive industries , the effect upon wages o
the use of machinery operated by
women nud children , nnd whethe
changes'tn the creative cost of product
are duo to a luck or to a surplus o
labor , , or to. the Introduction of powc
machinery. It will be seen that thl
contemplates a very comprehensive lu
qulry anil one which , if carefully um
judiciously made , cannot fall In bo o
great value.
There are many branches to this lu
vestlgntlon In try the effect of machinery
upon labor and production , and few o
them have ever been , systematically
call with by either olllclal or nrlvnto
nvcsllgntlotft ! fact that machinery
as vuorinoti.i increased the product
icr capita am the sum of benefits ta he
llstrlbuted an ng the entire community

aslly proved by existing statistics ns

lal Industrie1 wlilch the labor commls-
loner baa set iffobl. He proposes also
o deal with the social aspect of the
uestlon anrf ) the change lu the condition
f the laboro , both as to Hie advantages
e derives fr mf the Increased product of
uichlnery mi the disadvantages he
lay suffer lii certain cases by the
reater concentration of Industry nnd
te destruction of personal Independence
ml Individual Initiative. The effect of
lie Introduction of new machinery In
brewing people out of work will also be
onsldered nnd an attempt made to estl-
mte Uie losses which have resulted.
The lisa of machinery In transportation ,
oth on land nnd water , will be an 1m-
ortaut branch of the Investigation and
i Itself will show how enormously labor
s economized and production Increased
> y the use of the locomotive and the
rlple-expanslon engine. The- distribution
f the Increased ptoduct under the now
ystem , ns between the employer and
lie employe , may be a little aside from
he essential purpose of the Inquiry. TTut
t Is probable that a few figures v/111 be
Iven to show the Infinitesimal profits
, o\v derived ftom a unit of production
.s compared with thu margin formerly
nrned by the employment of manual
abor.
The Investigation will not be confined
o the United States , liTlt will be ex-
ended to other countries , because In
orclgn countries more Industries are
fill conducted by manual labor than In
his country , hj-ncu a better opportunity
vill be ufforded by Investigation there
or making comparisons. The plan of
he Investigation looks to thoroughness
iloug every line pursued , because an In-
pulry of this kind cannot be' frequently
mdei taken. Therefore no correspond-
nee will be relied on In the gathering of
ttatlstlcs. Personal visits will be made
n each case. Nor will statements alone
be relied upon. For the cost of labor ,
ua'nufacturers and others will bo asked
o allow their pay rolls audihooks to be
xnml ud , to Hint tl ere will be no gcner-
illzatlons In the work. One Industry
inly will be taken up nt n time , and an
iffort will be made to arrive at complete
esults In n few of the most Important
ndustrles before any attempt Is made
o turn to any others. It Is not to be
loubted that tlipft * will bo developed
rom this investigation results highly
mportant to economic inquiry.

Two years ago Thomas J., Majors made his canvass for governor as the anti-Omaha candidate. His battle cry was, "Omaha must not be allowed to rule the state." Today he is making frantic efforts to get the support of Omaha businessmen and workingmen. For such nerve commend me to the anti-Omaha candidate.
If Senator Hills is really as sagacious as he is reputed to be, he must have accepted the democratic nomination for governor of New York with full knowledge that he would have to make the fight with his own resources and without material assistance from the administration at Washington, which he thoroughly

The managers of the Majors campaign have claimed great pleasure to point to the fact that many of the clergymen who were appointed by the editor of The Bee as referees to pass upon the charges against Majors have declared themselves as unswerving republicans who intend to vote the ticket from top to bottom. What does this prove? It proves that the controversy that this was not a lynch jury organized to convict, but, to the contrary, it was a body made up of men whose predilections were in favor of the accused. It was a body of men so disposed politically as to require the most unanswerable proofs to reach finding adverse to Mr. Majors. It follows conclusively that Majors had nothing to fear from this jury unless he was in no position to controvert the count. Everybody in this community knows that the gentleman who headed the list of referees, the Rev. Frank Lane, has been severely criticized on several occasions by The Bee for sentimental sermonizing. His relations to the editor of The Bee are, if anything, unfriendly rather than favorable. He was placed at the head of the list of referees in order to disarm any plans that Commissioner Hudson had of a one-sided trial.
It was the consciousness that the records and testimony of unimpeachable witnesses would establish the charges beyond question that prompted Majors and his campaign managers to decline any inquiry into the facts rather than the truth, which was sure to be monstrous to their cause.
It may be well to recall the rejected proposition, so that all citizens who desire good government may not be beguiled by the attempts to sidetrack the real issue to be decided on the 6th of November:
Let the charter be submitted for investigation to the following named Protestant clergymen, six of whom are republicans and one of whom is a populist, namely: Rev.
Rank of the First Methodist church, Rev. John Gordon of the Westminster Presbyterian church, Rev. A. J. Turkel of the Lutheran church, Rev. Neuton Mann of the Unitarian church, Rev. Charles W. Savage of the People's church, Rev. S. W. Hatcher of the Congregational church, and Rev. J. L. Hultman of the Swedish Mission church.
If either of those clergymen declines to act, then his place shall be filled by any clergyman designated by the others.
The scope of their investigation shall be confined to the following subjects:
1. The conduct of Thomas J. Majors as a congressman in connection with the forged, census returns as reported by the House Judiciary committee of which Hon. Thomas D. Reed was chairman.
2. The conduct of Thomas J. Majors in certifying to a fraudulent voucher made payable to Senator Taylor after he had absconded from the state, and also the duplicity of Mr. Majors in publicly asserting that Taylor had served forty-three days of the session excluding Sundays.
3. The conduct of Thomas J. Majors in converting the lieutenant governor's office, absent to the senate chamber, into a drinking den and resort for the lobbyists while the legislature was in session.
The investigation shall be conducted with open doors and all parties shall have a fair hearing within reasonable time; the investigation shall begin within three days and conclude within a week.
I agree in advance to cheerfully abide by the findings, whatever they may be.
This was introduced at the last session of congress making the holding up of trains a continuous offense under the Interstate commerce and national offense, punishable under the laws of the United States, but no action beyond mere reference was taken on any of them. The several train robberies that have recently occurred, one of them within a few miles of the national capital, will probably have the effect to induce congress at the coming session to give more attention to the proposed legislation, and perhaps to pass a law that will authorize the use of the national power in hunting down those who commit this crime. It appears to be certain that until this is done and sufficient legislation is supplemented by stringent state laws for the punishment of train robbing, this crime will continue to prevail with periodical outbreaks such as have been witnessed during the last two years.
This matter was discussed at a recent meeting of the presidents of the express companies, who want national legislation. They say that the state laws and the state courts fail to secure the punishment of the guilty, both because the state courts do not want to incur the expense of a trial, and also because when the time is arraigned on the charge of train robbery his neighbors sympathize with him and acquit him when they try him. Probably there is not very good grounds for this latter statement, but it is a fact that state authorities have not generally been as diligent in hunting down this class of criminals as in the case of other classes, the feeling seeming to be that this work belongs initially to the express companies, and that if they do not properly protect themselves, they must suffer the consequences. The express companies have never attempted to avoid doing their share in hunting down train robbers. Whether their losses by robbery were small or large, they have always endeavored to secure the apprehension and punishment of the perpetrators. It has been said that all of this, if not quite, as much money has been expended by the companies in this work as the amount of the losses they have suffered.
However this may be, it will hardly be seriously contended that the greater part of this task of bringing train robbers to justice ought to be devolved on the express companies. Certainly the whole public is interested in the suppression of this form of crime, which is not infrequently accompanied with the shedding of blood. Manifestly, it is the duty of each political community to prevent crime within its own limits and it is also the duty of such community to detect crime, to pursue criminals, and to procure their conviction. It seems to be an entirely sound proposition that it is just as much the business of the community to prevent robbery on the railroads as on the highways; just as much its business to prevent, or at least to punish, the looting of express cars as the burglarizing of a store or residence. The trouble is not that train robbers cannot be prosecuted. The difficulty is that the authorities who ought to bring them to justice are not as diligent in the performance of their duty as they ought to be. Untitled more stringent laws for the enforcement and punishment of train robbery are undoubtedly needed, and there appears to be no good reason why there should not be national legislation applicable to this crime when committed on trains engaged in interstate commerce.
At the same time, it is necessary to observe that the express companies should employ every reasonable precaution to protect themselves from robbery. Government protects private citizens and mashes burglars who break into their houses, but the citizens know that they are expected to take proper precautions against robbers. While it must be conceded that the express companies have a right to public protection, it is not too much to expect that they will use every proper means at their command to protect themselves.
Charles Dudley Warner has given over part of the space allotted to the Editor's Study in the current Harper's Monthly to a severe arraignment of the public schools as mere machines for the development of automatons to fit into our scheme of universal suffrage. He begins by picturing a hypothetical system of popular education, such as he imagines existed in the United States about fifty years ago, in which the schools were in the control of committees elected by a majority, without practical experience in the training of the mind, finding that what the pupil needs is contact with the greatest number of facts in the shortest space of time, selecting teachers upon their own examination of qualifications and paying them very low salaries, and esteeming higher the perfection of the system than the intelligence of the operators or their fitness for their occupation. Our educational machine, we are told, has been wonderfully perfected since 1870. No one can withhold his admiration of it.
But the improvement has been in the schoolhouse and its apparatus, it has gone toward making the system more machine-like, too mechanical and therefore cheap. "Could the state," Mr. Warner asks, "make a heavy investment in anything so profitable to itself as in the real training of the minds of its citizens?"
To come up to the desired standard, the schools would have to be leviant, giving the pupil an individuality, individuality can be obtained duly through teaching by teachers of strong personality, teachers who have studied the theory of education and who are able to apply it in practice, teachers who are allowed to take the initiative and to develop original methods. The teachers in the public schools do not, in Mr. Warner's opinion, conform to these requirements. In his hypothetical system of education, a great proportion of the teachers, if not majority, were in fact "ignorant young girls or unformed young men," and in respect to these he does not think we are able to point to any advance. Even those teachers who are really able and competent make their schools as good as the system will permit, but they are held back by the machine of which they are a part. For individuality in education, we are directed to the old academy. A few such schools remain in various parts of the country and maintain reputations as centers of real education. They have prospered or lagged as their headmasters have changed, the personality of the director being the foundation of their success. They are in almost every instance private schools, and their income depends upon their attractiveness, Mr. Warner concludes.
Warner is inclined to believe that the recent increase in the number of private schools and in the number of boys and girls attending them is to be viewed as a return to the old academy system. To use his words, "this movement is not accounted for by an undemocratic reluctance to submit well-bred children to the association of the private schools, but by the failure of these schools to give the sort of intellectual and moral training required that is, the sort of education that raises the ideal in life."
But is it not a serious question whether the private schools are today actually accomplishing their work any better than the public schools? And if they were doing so, would it not be an argument more for the improvement of the public schools than for the extension of the private schools? There is much that is of value in the democratic atmosphere in schools that are open to all alike. There is discipline in the very much like exactness with which all pupils are required to pass through the same recitations and examinations. If personality and individuality can be secured in the teachers who are engaged in the private schools, why cannot they also be had in the public schools? And as to the pay of teachers, it is doubtful whether on the whole those in private schools are more liberally treated than those in public schools. There is no reason why the public schools should not offer every advantage of the private school, except the exclusive association. If they do not at the present time, the work of our educators should consist in improving the public school system rather than in building up a new system of private schools.
The bureau of labor is actively engaged in an investigation, the results of which are expected to be of great value. Congress at its last session passed a resolution directing the commissioner of labor to investigate and report upon the effect of the use of machinery upon labor, to investigate and report upon the active productive power of hand and machine labor, the cost of manual and machine power as they are used in productive industries, the effect upon wages of the use of machinery operated by women and children, and whether changes in the creative cost of products are due to a lack or to a surplus of labor, or to the introduction of power machinery. It will be seen that this contemplates a very comprehensive inquiry and one which, if carefully and judiciously made, cannot fall in be of great value.
There are many branches to this investigation in try the effect of machinery upon labor and production, and few of them have ever been systematically called with by either official or private agencies. The fact that machinery as violence increased the product per capita and the sum of benefits to be distributed among the entire community is the leading proposition, and it will be easily proved by existing statistics as well as by the inquiries regarding special industries which the labor commissioner has set forth. He proposes also to deal with the social aspect of the question and the change in the condition of the laborer, both as to the advantages he derives from the increased product of machinery and the disadvantages he may suffer in certain cases by the greater concentration of industry and the destruction of personal independence and individual initiative. The effect of the introduction of new machinery in throwing people out of work will also be considered and an attempt made to estimate the losses which have resulted. The use of machinery in transportation, both on land and water, will be an important branch of the investigation and will show how enormously labor has been economized and production increased by the use of the locomotive and the single expansion engine. The distribution of the increased product under the new system, as between the employer and the employee, may be a little aside from the essential purpose of the inquiry. But it is probable that a few figures will be given to show the infinitesimal profits derived from a unit of production as compared with the margin formerly earned by the employment of manual labor.
The investigation will not be confined to the United States, but will be extended to other countries, because in foreign countries more industries are still conducted by manual labor than in this country, thereby affording a better opportunity for investigation there and for making comparisons. The plan of the investigation looks to thoroughness along every line pursued, because an inquiry of this kind cannot be frequently made; therefore, no correspondence will be relied upon in the gathering of statistics. Personal visits will be made in each case. Nor will statements alone be relied upon. For the cost of labor, manufacturers and others will be asked to allow their payrolls and accounts to be examined and to assure that there will be no generalizations in the work. One industry only will be taken up at a time, and an effort will be made to arrive at complete results in a few of the most important industries before any attempt is made to turn to any others. It is not to be doubted that there will be developed from this investigation results highly important to economic inquiry.
The financial report of the Pale Athletic union shows that last year the total receipts were $61,180, the principal items being foot ball receipts, $10,682; base ball receipts, $7,082; navy receipts, $8,601, and expenditures $9,604; track athletic receipts, $4,691, and expenditures $8,587. Sustaining the foot ball season at two months, this includes all expenditures of $30 a day on this one game. Reviewing the state of athletics at Yale, which, he says, is fairly typical of the other large universities, Caspar Whitney is of the opinion that the time is ripe for a radical revision of the athletic expense list. The extravagance here exposed would certainly have appalled the founders of any one of our older educational institutions.
Oxford and Cambridge intend to invest Ambassador Bayard with the honorary degrees of those institutions when he returns to England from the United States. Chairman Wilson ought to enter a vigorous protest. It is true that Mr. Bayard has been saying a great many nice things about England, but was not Mr. Wilson particularly complimentary during his recent trip abroad? Then, too, Mr. Wilson has accomplished something for British manufacturers with the new tariff law and is promising a great deal more if he is only placed at the head of another democratic majority in the next house of representatives. A few honorary degrees for Mr. Wilson would be but a modest way of showing appreciation of his efforts.
Tom Majors' contingent has centered all its efforts upon the German voters of Nebraska. They have not only bought up all the German democratic papers in the state and converted them into organs of railroads and boodlers, but they are using the calamity arguments and threats of loss of credit to frighten them into supporting the tattooed man of Omaha. But the Germans are not the kind of people to be frightened. In the language of Bismarck, "An appeal to fear never found an echo in German hearts."
The stories of fabulous wealth awaiting pioneers in the new Australian gold fields will scarcely excite much enthusiasm in a country this distance away. There have been gold fevers and gold fevers in the United States, but the number of inhabitants who have gotten rich is comparatively small, and the chances of success in Australia cannot be any better than they have been in other newly opened mining districts. Let the people of Australia have the benefit of their find.
The Lincoln fraternal club is pushing a series of excursions to that city modeled upon those which were undertaken by the Omaha Canaster club some months ago. In the meantime, the Omaha organization is resting on its oars and doing nothing. A few inducements held out to the residents of the neighboring towns just now might give an additional impetus to the reviving local trade.
The Gould family certainly deserves credit for returning to the United States without bringing any foreign titles with them, particularly when the European title market is so weighted with choice specimens, all offered at prices unquestionably cheap.
When the railroad managers of this city caused the wholesale merchants to mix their business with state politics in order to pull railroad chestnuts out of the fire they inflicted an injury upon the trade of this city that cannot soon be mended. The attempt to bulldoze the voters of this county will be resented at the polls November 6 by majorities that will cause railroad manipulators a few hours' serious reflection.
Eugene Debs says there will never be another strike like the last one which he engineered. It is to be hoped not. One experience of that kind is quite enough for a country of even the resources of the United States. There must be legislation enacted to prevent the recurrence of labor trouble upon the railroads. If the American Railway Union will exert itself to this end, the instance of good accomplished may be speedily weighed down in its favor and its popularity restored.
Ex-Speaker Reed got as far west as Omaha, but he could not be induced to cross into Nebraska and say anything in favor of the man who had been recommended by his committee for prosecution as a falsifier of public records, Mr. Reed's opinion of Majors is contained in the Congressional Record that shows up the career of the tattooed candidate when posing as contingent congressmen.
There is no danger that Colonel Strong, the anti-Tammany candidate for mayor of New York, will withdraw from the race. The prospects of his success at the polls are altogether too encouraging. Were he to think of retiring for a moment, the trouble would not be in finding a substitute who would accept, as it was with Tammany, but in getting a substitute who is equally acceptable.
"We are not mixing business with politics," said the representative of a leading wholesale house of Lincoln when protesting against the use of his firm's name by the alleged business men's association. Here is a man who sees the result Omaha bankers and jobbers have made at the behest of railroad bosses, and he will have none of it.
A complete revival of industry and commerce is still, in the language of the grand review, "waiting on politics." Any further delay after the election will be explained as due to the slowness of recovery. It's a sad day when the commercial prophets are at a loss for a plausible explanation of the business situation.
Nine-tenths of the patrons of Omaha retail merchants are avowed supporters of the candidacy of Silas A. Holcomb. It does not stand to reason that any considerable number of them will espouse Majors' cause simply because the railroad bosses have compelled certain jobbers to do so.

The War Department officials are questioning their right to send troops to the Indian territory to quell outlawry. The Sioux, Cheyenne, and other bands are preparing for fierce raids on the railroads and towns. It would seem as though this was a case in which there should be action first and consideration of legal rights afterwards.
An interesting incident in diplomacy.
Journal.
It is in the nature of an interesting incident that just as the great city of London is shaken, from center to circumference, the disclosures of "vice and immorality that exist there, Ambassador Bayard should promulgate his discovery that the Russian people are the most virtuous on earth. Mr. Bayard is dispensing too much international gush.
The bakery of Germany.
Globe-Democrat.
There is not a farmer, mechanic, or laborer in the United States whose lot is worse than the one represented by the career of the Czar Alexander. The pomp and ceremony, the attention and distinction associated with the station of an emperor are worth nothing as substitutes for the plain joys and practical satisfaction of those who dwell in lower spheres and deal with affairs that are less complicated and exacting.
The United States consular service.
Philadelphia Record.
The cost of the United States consular service for the past fiscal year has been $1,237,009 in excess of fees. This extra expenditure is nearly double that of 1832, which was the largest excess in the history of the service. Reskins his forty-two embassies and legations, Uncle Sam maintains 1,110 consular offices, and this outlay represents an average annual cost of nearly $20,000. It might be a poor economy to cripple the service, however, as an incomparably prior object would be saved at the spigot.
The military burden.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Major General John M. Schofield's urgent plea for an increased United States army has afforded Adjutant General George D. Shuggles an opportunity to emphasize the value of the militia of the union. The latter appeals for larger appropriations from Congress for the state troops. While Uncle Sam has only 25,000 enlisted regulars, the government can call into the field 110,736 uniformed militia, and at the summons of liberty or law fully 9,725,000 Americans could take up arms. The militiamen of one state can be ordered by the federal authorities to do duty in another commonwealth, and Congress owes, therefore, an important duty to her national guardsmen.
This royal part.
Minneapolis Journal. The Emperor William of Germany's "Te Deum," which is to be rector at Berlin with much trumpet flourish Sunday, isn't above the medico versa which pours in a steady tide into American editors' waste baskets.
Kansas City Star: In justice to Emperor William, it is to be hoped that his hymn to Aegler is not as bad as its translation into English would indicate. The line in the concluding stanza, "To honor Thee, O Mighty God," conveys a wrong idea to the orthodox mind. Aegler was a line old pagan, but in this enlightened day he does not deserve to have his title capitalized. And it may be presumed that the rendition of a pagan hymn on Sunday afternoon will, like Deacon Simpson's bell, cast a gloom over a devout community.
Louisville Courier-Journal: Fortunately William and all his family are something given to poetry; so, instead of making war, he makes a song about Aegler and Frithjof and the dragon-boats of the Northmen. The thirst for action is quenched in the struggle with syllables. When he gets back to Berlin, the Valser causes his song to Aegler to be put to music for male voices, and it shall be sung on Sunday, October 6. Those who shall hear the song shall pay, and the money shall help to build a temple to the honor and glory of the Christians' God, who gives peace, and also to the memory of William I, who made war like a true son of Wotan. This is no dilettante production of a monarch's idle hour. Let it not be judged by trite canons of criticism, as the musical critics judged the compositions of Pritchard the Great and found them worthy of praise for their own sake. The "Song to Aegler" is the howl of the tethered warhorse that dreams of battle, the cry that brings relief to a soul goaded by temptation. Let him shriek to Aegler and deliver his soul in words that echo not.

Kansas City Star: Everybody has heard of the "Little Church Around the Corner" in New York, which came into view years ago through the tolerant Christianity of its director in regard to an actor's burial, and will be pleased to learn that the parish has been very prosperous of late years, and that Very Rev. Bonington will be enabled to carry out many long contemplated improvements.
New York Advertiser: Rev. Dr. MacArthur tells the story of a preacher who tried to make a non-partisan prayer, calling on the Lord to see that the right triumphed, and at last came out frankly and said: "Oh, Lord, what is the use of beating about the bush? Give us Briggs for governor." The 11th Men that the Lord needed direct instruction was held by a Louisiana clergyman, who began his prayer thus: "Oh, Lord, thou hast seen by the morning papers how the Sabbath was desecrated."
Chicago Herald: That the Central church is essentially a personal congregation following a peculiar pastor is shown by the rapid disintegration of Prof. Swing's "parish," which, without boundary lines except those of the city, has almost totally disappeared within a week following his death. "No man preaching in those parts possesses the attributes. His physical personality was no small factor in his attractiveness. His singular drawl and acute nasality of one accentuated sentiments that would have been much less striking if differently delivered. His sympathies with nature exceeded his sympathies with dogma; a naturalist would be a more eligible successor than a scripturalist.
New York Tribune: That the office of apostle in this country is no bed of roses was brought home to Archbishop Satolli with peculiar force yesterday afternoon at Patterson, N.J., when he was subjected to something much akin to a full-blown mobbing by the parishioners of St. Joseph's church. Finding that the apostle absolutely declined to entertain any of the charges which they had brought against their pastor, Father S.H. Smith, and that he ignored their demands for the removal of the priest to the extent of accepting his hospitality, a delegation literally forced its way into the rectory and into the presence of the monsignor, who was compelled to listen to some extremely violent language before he could manage to effect his escape from the unwelcome visitors.

NOTTINGHAM , England , Oct. 20. ( Spe
cial Correspondence of The Dec. ) When I
landed In- England about n month ago
what 1 took to bo Uio Tail of the moment
treated with terrible Intensity wag woman.
1 have since found out my mistake In classing -
ing this new discovery by man as a fad ,
for after woman came the "advanced
woman , " who rapidly developed Into the
New Woman.
The Now Woman Is In a large degree a
creature ot Imagination. It IB hard to de-
line her. She embraces every variety of her
sec from the female doctor who talks In the
drawing room ot cases "quite unfit to print ,
you know. " to the most cultivated and re
fined scholar and philosopher ; from the little
clum visitor to the wife of n noble peer of
the realm. Naturally such a- ran go lias fur
nished material for the gentle satire of the
playwright , the emotional tirades of the
three-vein mo novelists , the topical songa of
the niuMc halls and the wiles of the politi
cal manipulators. On the platform the New
Woman In debated , all aorta ot Jokes , scien
tific and silly , are cracked over her unlucky
licad. comic papers have taken a new lease
In cartoons , the mighty da tiles bombard her
with their heaviest artillery , the sixpenny
weeklies ( satirize her , the monthly reviews
philosophize- over her , the physiologists dls-
acct her , the pyschologUts vivisect her , and
nil I2ni and Is raging over lier. Yet woman ,
the old woman , has been always with us.
Still more to the point. ED far as this coun
try Is concerned , she Is going about her busi
ness apparently obliviousto the fact that
man- and llrltlsh man at that has sud -
Uonly awakened to _ the Increasing Impor
tance of woman In the body politic of the
kingdom. It Is not , however , with the New
Woman as above discussed and written about
that 1 propone to deal In this letter , but of
woman as I find her In the United Kingdom
side by ylde with man in nearly all the oc
cupations of life. Not of the woman faddist
.iu depicted In the new novels and plays , but
at the woman wane-earner. Not of the wo
man In search ot now sensations who- dilates
.it a Weal End dinner of her unprintable ad
ventures In the slums , but of the women
who are compelled to spend their lives In
9ho dreary working quarters of the metropo
lis and In England's great centers of indus
trial energy. Not of the women who talk ,
but of the myriad women who work. Not
of the fashionable who spend , but of the mil
lions who earn. Not ot. those who play , but
of the vast army that tall. Of tliosa who ,
unllkn their American kinswomen , are not
alone tolling for their own independence , butte
to Increase by a few shillings ttio weekly
mornings of the head of the family.
AVOMEN T01LEHS ,
The army of women tellers , outside of the
mothers and the wives In England , is a tre
mendous one. It is Impossible to gauge- the
competitive power of England In the indus
trial battle between the two countries unless
wn ascertain to what extent woman has ot
late- years been drawn into occupations
which at one tlmo belonged exclusively to
Titan. While humane and stringent factory
Jaws have In n measure stopped the brutall-
aatlon of women In coal pits ami as beasts
of burden , the demand for cheap labor , in
consequence of the specialization oC British
Industry , has forced her Into occupations
"which are rapidly undermining her physique
and making It more difficult to bear healthy
children. Not only free , strong , healthy sln-
Kla women , but married women who must
leave their homes and domestic work and
that most sacred of all trusts the rearing
of young children , to take their place In the
mills and factories. According to the last
TJrltlfh census the proportion ot married
women thus employed in some of the prln-
c'pal Industrial centers. Including the one
I am writing from , is as follows :

Hero Is my point. If the potteries ol
Trenthum , with the protection accorded them
by the JIcKlnley tariff bill , were compelled ,
lor Instance , to employ 531 married women
In their potteries out of every 1,000 women
nnployed , then the sooner the Mliole busi
ness was written down a failure the better.
If American cotton'mills and lace factories
are employing over 400 married women out
of every 1,000 so engaged they are much
nearer the Drltlsh standard than I supposed.
Are 50 per cent of our operatives In the tex-
tllo trades , for Instance , marrlod women ?
, Are they compelled to toll In the mills In
order to mnko the earnings of the head of
the family sufficient to keep body and soul
togetbcrT This is a pertinent question , es
pecially when Mr. Wilson succeeds In forcing
the rest of the free trade wedge into our
Industrial system. American workmen must
not suppose that democratic free trade bed
rock , has been struck with the present bill ,
It Is Important , therefore , that he should
know exactly the part woman takes In the
British Industrial system. He must know .
what she does. Why sha doea It. The wages I '
.paid In the several competitive Industries ,
together with the condition of the opera
tives. This la a good deal to treat of In one
letter and condensation will bo necessary.
INVADING ALb OCCUPATIONS.
To return to the woman who works as
wo find her in England today. The census
of 1891 returns no less than 4.016,230 women
engaged Ir definite occupations In England
'and Wales. These Industrious women wage-
'earners are engaged In every imaginable I
branch of work. Speaking generally , wo
Ond that woman appears In all the twenty-flvo
subclasses Into whtcli the British occupation
tables are bunched , except only the defense
of the country. In these tables we flnd wo
men returned as bankers , brokers and dis
count clerks , and within the "last few months
they have actually Invaded the sacred pre
cincts of the Dank at England Itself. They
appear as district , municipal , parish and
union officers , and have broken 111 rough he
upper crust of Bumbleism and m ,
making the administration ot pauper relief
mora humane and decent. Whllo not 10-
tually engaged In the defense ot the country ,
women In Kngland may be found ta black-
amltha , .forging the peaceful ploughshares
and as "bayonet and sword makers , " sharp
ening the Implements ol war. Women are
enumerated as miners ot coal , ol lead , of
capper , of limestone and ot Iron ore. They
are actively engaged as mnlsten , brewers
nd retailers of spirituous , vinous and malt
-liquors. As barmaids they administer tend
man's appetite tor drink , as butchers and
bakers and " " "
"buttermen. and "poultry
dialer * , " and "dairymen , " to his love of
rood living. As architects the English wo '
men plan and build houses and in the oc
cupations of plumber. gasfUter. bell-hanger ,
glazier , carpenter and joiner , they keep the
English homes in repair. An < l this doei
not conclude the catalogue ol women's
achievement In the Industrial struggle with
tha arch-enemy man.

TUB DOOnS CLOSED.
Above I have only named some of the
rather peculiar occupations of Engllth wo
men , In all those branches of work so well ,
adapted for women our English cousins hare
made great headway and out of some COO' '
occupations given In the detailed report for
1H11 , I flnJ the following with .blanks In the
"femalo" column :
Women In England are not army ofnoars ,
bailiffs , solicitors , ship riggers , cement
makers , bay cutlers , grave diggers , civil
engineers , boiler makers , teamsters , colonel
on Bast India service , railway contractors ,
dock laborers , locomotive drivers , locomotive
stokers , rallwuy guards , stone quarrymen ,
clergymen ( of the Established .church ) , road
Inspectors , lime burners , Manchester ware
housemen , priests , naval officers , level cross-
InRincn , policemen , sawyers.

has to learn of man's pursuits nnil occupa
tions. Abolish this little list and man nntl
wonan will practically stand equal. Tlien
woman will have surely followed wherever
man has dared to tread In pursuit ot a
livelihood.
What does- all this mean ?
Simply this. While English , economists
are prating about the "economy of high
wages" and of the "highest paid labor" be
ing "the moat efficient. " the English woman
Is being forced Into almost every occupation
( and the married woman at that ) because her
labor Is cheaper than that of man's. Fur
thermore , that while preaching this to the
credulous free traders In foreign countries
probably more than half the whole Indus
trial population of Great Britain have to
exist , and at present are existing on an In
come per head which Is less than the cost
of keeping her Indoor paupers. This does not
look like adhering to tha fiction of the
"economy of high wages. "
Take , for example , the wages of these
woman workers here in Nottingham , one of
the places' that will compete with our own
cancel ns , not only In machine made lace , but
in every variety of hosiery and knit goods ,
What la the condition of labor here ? Far
worse than I expected to find It. When I
v sited Nottingham twelve years ago I found
the textile Industries prosperous and wages
for England fairly good. Today It Is dif
ferent. Like other towns they are looking
hopefully toward the United States and pray
ing that President Cleveland and Mr. Wilson
may fulfill their promise or a still further
reduction. In such an event how could
American operatives compete wttli the wages
that I find tiere today.
Women are earning from 06 centa to JI.CS
per week. In the best of times when work
Is abundant thqso engaged in the large con
cerns like Messrs. J. & It. Morley's only-
make from $2 to $3 per week. Low as these
rates are , what are called the "out-workers"
nre still worse off. Here Is a sample right
from the lips of a worker. This woman
( what Is called a mlddlewoman ) , bands men's
drawers ; for cutting , creasing , turning Inaklo
out , punching and working button holes ,
taping and tying In dozens , she la paid 5
cents or 2 j. pence a dozen. She pays out
workers 2 % pence , or \ % centa , a dozen ,
and pays carriage to and from Shelford
( eight miles from Nottingham. ) Another
woman , "a seamer , " Joins up the toes and
heels of stockings and is paid -I pence , or
8 cents per dozen pairs. She can make 3
shillings , or 72 cents , n'week , by working
hard all the time. Another seamed long
cashmere frose at 18 cents , or 9 pence per
dozen. Her avcrag-e earnings are 2 shillings ,
or 4S cents , per week. Another seams from
eight to nine hours dally. Her average earn
ings are 2M pence , or 5 cents , n day. An
other , a widow with two children , seams
nlno hours dally and earns Vi pence , or \ \ ' .
cent an hour , working very hard. Her aver
age weekly earnings are 3 shillings , or 72
cents. In the lace trade things are nearly
an bad. . One woman receives % pence , or
1 centa dozen yards for rcalloplng. She
can scallop a dozen In an hour. For frillIng -
Ing , another could earn 3 shillings , or 72
cents , a week. If she neglected her home.
Still another mends tulle. For ninety yards
she receives 2 shillings , 48 cents , "she can
make 3 shillings , or 72 cents , a week , " when
well supplied with work.
Speaking of the .seaming trade generally
I and I the outworkers In It one of the factory
Inspectors remarked that women ) who earn
less than 3 shillings. 72 cents , a week , are
either bad workers , or work less than flfty-
tlx , hours a week , but those who earned
more- than 72 cents are either specially well
paid pr they work extra hours , which would
be counted as overtime In a factory.
"WHAT THEY EABN.
How much more do they earn than 72
cents per week ? At the outside $2 per week.
And this thesa poor creatures do not receive
In cash. The work Is given out by middle-
women who keep wretched little grocery
and general stores. On woman eays that the
price is 3 pence (6 ( cents ) per dozen for seamIng -
Ing half hose in groceries , and 214 pence (5 (
cents ) In cash. And then with a sigh she
added :
"There Is little work for them as asks for
"
money.
Ono woman has seamed for ten years for
ono firm and never seen any money durlrig
that whole time , AVhat did she get ?
Groceries , flour , etc. But living is so cheap
til free trade England. Oh no ! Look , at
this. This woman has to-pay 2 penee per
ounce for the wretched grade of tea she
uses. Tlilnk of It , 64 cents per pound.
SJoro than 2 cents per pound for flour : poor
tub butter , 30 cents per pound ; bacon.
18 centa per pound ; cheese , 10 cents per
pound. All of the commonest and cheap-
eat sort.
After reading this , and I can substantiate

And well It may be so.
THE HOME MARKET.
Until the now tariff bill was enacted wo
were doing well In the manufacture ol car
pets. Mr. North's report shows nearly 30,000
persons employed In making carpets. We had
won the control ot our home market. In
quantity I bcllove we produced more than any
other country. The average wages actually
paid women In this Industry exceeded. $1 per
working day , or $325 per year. In Bradford ,
Halifax and Leeds their average pay , that
Is their earnings when they work , are half
that amount , or $3 to | S.JO per week.
It has been shown that In all the large-
textile centers of England women's wages
range from 75 cents to $3,39 $ per week. That
the women who thu * work are not young
girls , but in some cases over 50 per cent are
married Women , wives and mothers who are
compelled to neglect their homes and their
children to add a pittance to the weekly earn
ings , so that , Including the husband and chil
dren , It may become a living wage. It Is
this point that I am trying to emphasize In
this letter. If I shall succeed It will'more
than compensate ( ar many miles ol travel
and many interviews with the victims ot Ihls
human degradation. The effect of this sort
of work Is to demoralize the family. Un-
happlness , drunkenness arise In working
families ( ram the wives being In th ? mills.
It destroys the home , dirtiness and untidi
ness reign where comfort nnd order should
abide Children arc neglected and mortality
Is high. The stamina of the children Is
undermined In two ways First , the effect
of tha mill work upon the mother Is In
jurious ; secondly , the Institution of a "baby
farmer" for a mother Is even worse. The
whole system Is vicious , To Introduce It
Into the United States Is criminal. To
bring about a competition that will tend
thus to reduce the standard of our women Is
worse than folly. When Governor Mc-
Klnley talks of the homes of the American
.wage earners and points out how his tariff
law protected them from the poverty and
hopeless misery of the workers of Europe
he undoubtedly has in mind the homes In
which the women ns well as the men arc
compelled to"swnd the day nt the mill or
factory. The strength and safety ot the
republic Is In Its homes. Destroy them by
compelling all to become wngo earners and
half the strength Is gone. All this Is
laughed at here anil called sentlmentallsm ,
and Its advocates sentimentalists. At home
wo called it looking after the general wcl-
lare of the people.
OLD NOTTINGHAM.
I cannot-close without a word about old
Nottingham , ono of the oldest and most re
markable cities In England. At one time
Nottingham enjoyed the distinction of being
the most drunken city In England. I was
there for a couple of Q3aya this year. Goose
Fair week , and the people seemed determined
to keep up Ita bachanallan reputation. I
never saw so much good-hearted , jovial
Inebriation before. Thousands came in from
the country round about and prodigious
quantities of ale- must have been consumed.
The principal part of Goose Fair Is hold on
tha market place , the largest , by the way , In
England. From this center the booths and
tents run In every direction. It Is Indeed a
curious and Interesting" sight to see vast
heaps of every variety of food piled up on
these stalls and upon the ground. Then , of
course , comes the other attractions of a
country fair , Including- side shows of all de
grees' The freaks of England seem let loose
In Nottingham , market place. Anything
"goes" during fair week , nnd the genial
policeman seems to debate the question of
locking up drunkards with the convivial law
breakers themselves on the street corners ,
Walking through a narrow court leading
to the market place , called the Shambles , I
notteed a curious looking oil painting in wood
In front of a very low and very ancient
butcher's shop. It turned out to be a fair
portrait of the unfortunate young Netting
ham poet. Henry Kirk White. In vain I
endeavored to Interview the busy butcher In
relation lo this portrait , but all I could
learn was that In this tumbled down old
place the melancholy pcet first saw light ,
March 21 , 17S5. There was something so
Incongruous In the old-fashioned , refined
scholarly head -J4u adorning a butcher's
shop In the city Shambles. The author of
"Clifton Orovp" Is hardly known In his own
dear Nottingham nnd a visit to four book
sellers failed to produce a copy of his works.
One clerk said he believed there was an
18-nenny edition ol White published , but
there was no call for It In the great center
o ( machine made lace. And this of the
poet who suiif ? ot Nottingham :
When splendor offers , nnd when fame In
cites ,
I'll pause , nnd think of all thy dear de
lights ,
Reject the- boon , and weary'd with the
change ,
Remove the wish which first Induced to
range.
Turn to those scenes , these well known
scenes once more ,
Trace once again old , Trent's romantic
shore.
Poor White died young1. Though the son
ol a butcher he rose rapidly to fame and
left enough classical poetry to stimulate
speculation as to what he might have- done
had ho lived the allotted lite of man. Any
how , his classic face should not adorn a
tumbled down butcher's shop and his works
deserve something better than an 18-penny
edition not on sale.

The question of the proper atUtude of the
churches toward state education la ono which
apparently will not down. In spite ot many
protests against this discussion and In spite
of a good many vigorous dentals that church
people-are thinking oC this at all , It la very
certainly evident that Intelligent men and
women are very carefully considering Just
why they should contribute by their taxes
to the maintenance of the state system
ot education and then be put under forced
contributions. In a sense , to some minor
Institution tit their particular church , Nor
are laymen , alone thinking ot thesematters. .
The clergy In most of the western states
Eeeril to be exceedingly doubtful as to
whether there should be added to the burden
ot the erection ot church .buildings and main
tenance of church organizations In new states
the further burden , v/hlch certainly at times
eeema unnecessary , of maintaining n distinct
system of education Inferior to that which
tlis state stands reidy to offer without money
and without price.
One ot the most remarkable utterances on
this subject Is to be found In a sermon
preached by Hev. Dr. E , O. Updike of the
Plrst Congregational church , Madison , WIs. .
early last month , which has received a largo
circulation In pamphlet form. Ilia theme
was "Christianity and the State University "
lie held that the church could not bs true
to Its mission unless It was profoundly In
terested In the welfare of the state , and the
state. It It was patriotic and public spirited ,
would also be interested In the success of
the church ; that each , when Ideal , Is of the
people , by the pepple and for the people ;
and that there is really no reason for an
tagonism of any kind. The atata differs from
the church in that It li an Institution Into
which all men are born and with which all
men must "tie Identified , whether they will or
not ; whllo no one Is compelled to be a mem
ber of the church. Tha state seems to ba
as truly part of the divine plan as tha churcJi
Itselt.
The distinction ot sacred and secular In
most Instances Is a pernicious one , The
whole ot a man's llfo ought to be sacred , not
only on Sunday and at prayer meeting , but
In the business , political and social world.
The safety of the atate depending upon an
Intelligent citizenship , it has/ come to be gen
erally admitted that the state has p great
work to do In publlcteducation. . There was
never a wiser provision than when public
schools were estabUskhin ancl made * dependent
upon the taxes levjed upon the property of
all ; when , the rich men were made to help
educate poor men'tr-'sons. ' The- question of
state education , andstfrte / higher education
Is in , hU opinion no longer debatable.
Dr. Updike admitted that he had once
shared the views Wttldfr so many ministers
in Christian churches seem to hold of educa
tion by the BUter--Uut ho saltl when one
sees the really gooi\iyrprk \ , that a State unl-
verilty la doing , and when he considers the
larger work that it''n ' ay do If it only has
the co-operation ailft Sympathy of the bes' '
people ol the state , , fhe- . whole question pre
aents an entirely different aspect. Ono
feela Instinctively-'that ' nothing mus
stand in the way 6f'dUh ' a great and bena
flcent work. It tatasfl % , Brcat deal of money
today to thoroughly ttiuu > a university. Te-n
millions of dollars Is scarcely too much. The
smaller schools In 1h'State may say that an
earnest faculty nn4 , | blo instructors make a
college , and that millions do not count , but
this no longer answora for argument with
bright , quick-witted , young men. Every
educated man knows teat he receives quite
is much from contact with a largo body of
jtudents. and from opportunities In well-
equipped libraries and laboratories as he pos
sibly can from Teachers or text Txwks. And
so It I * coming to be moro and moro a seri
ous question with all church schools , not
heavily endowed , as to how they can be sup
ported and. mods to compete1 at ill favorably
with Institutions that have back ot them the
property ot a whole commonwealth.
There l& another question vrblch Dr , Up
dike said was intensely practical , every
member ol the church Is also a citizen. He
muat da his part In sustaining the educa
tional work of the state , and when he comes"
In addition to that to be obliged to contribute
to his own. church school , either the burden
la too great or the school falls of anything
Ilk * proper endowment. College * ol tha
weaker class must always look for endow
ments from rich men ; but it will require
a vast number of rich men , giving all their
fortunes , to build up those smaller schools
n any state , so that they can In any sense
take rank with < ttio State university. There
s really no demand for BO many schools at
the present time. There might be some
grounds of Justification If the several de
nominations would unite their forces on the
basla ot building up one.distinctively Chris
tian college. But a combination , of all the1
church schools In the state would not equal
one-half of what the state has Invested In
ts university. The practical side ot this
question Is easily gathered from the remark
of a prominent minister In one of the cleiiom-
nations in Nebraska : "There are ministers
all over this state whose salaries are In
arrears and unpaid because the congrega-
.lons have been compelled to contribute to
the maintenance of an inferior school , when
the university , with all of Us larger oppor-
unltlea , lies open at their hand. "
Dr. Updike felt that Itwas a very unwise - <
wise thing for Christian people , and espe
cially for Christian educators , to draw away
"rom the university astsome of them are
now doing ; and a very inconsistent thing for
them to draw away in this manner and then
cause the report to go out that the university
a unchristian. , He held that It Is the- duty
of the church lo project as much of Its life
as possible Into the state , through all the In
stitutions of the Btata , It was a strange
thing. Indeed , for the church to say to young
people , "Come to these Inferior schools and
we will look after you , but If you go elsu-
where you can take care of yourselves. "
The poorest kind of a policy on the part of
the churches , the most unreasonable
thing and unchristian thing for any
people to do. Is to let l.GOO ot
the brightest yonng men and women df the
stnto feel that they no longer had the inter
of the Christian men anil women of the
state , because they are not willing or are not
able to attend thesd minor schools. There Is
probably not a denomination In the state that
has not more of Its own ppiplo In the State
university than In Its own church school , ami
yet It Is doing practically nothing for them.
The spfaker s remedy for the present con
dition was not to disband the minor schools
on the other hand , nor on the other to at
tempt to bring them Into competition with
the university. Most of , , them are at least
on tha basis of fair academies , nnd as such
ara doing good work , nut ho suggested that
each denomination should build a dormitory
or church-homo near the State university.
This home could be made a re
ligious center. In every such dorml
tory there would be one or moo
teachers who could take Intellectual
rank with the best in the univer
sity , and who should have In charge cer
tain branches , apeclflcally religious or de
nominational , not covered by the university
course. It would not bo difficult to make ar
rangements by which these studies could be
substituted for other elective studies In a
regular university course. If desired. Such
an equipment would not cost any one denoml
nation anything Ilka the sum which they
are spending for Inferior education under
mbarrasslng circumstances.
Dr. Updike felt that there could bo no
better place for theological schools than by
the sldo of a great State university , and that
the Intellectual stimulus of the university la
th best 'possible stimulus that a student
can have while fitting for his work. This
would end at once the thread-bare cry that
state universities furnish a-very small num
ber of young men for the ministry , Under
the circumstances , the speaker said , It was a
wonder that they furnished any. When the
church Ignores the state schools and leaves
them to take care of themselves and then
complains because they do not turn out more
candidates for the ministry , It "is Intensely
Inconsistent.
The sermon closed with the statement that
the State universities have come to atny ,
that to Ignore what the state has done and Is
doing and to go on making plans to build
up unnecessary denominational schools ,
when the same money Invested elsewhere
would do tert times the good , la a squander
ing of God's money , for which some ac
count will have to bo rendered. No one. he
said , would think of asking well-endowed
church schools to disband ; but the poor ,
struggling , poverty-stricken colleges , scat
tered through all tha western states ,
that have no outlook , that muat continue to
beg1 as long as. they live , and that frequently
only live to beg- , and that cannot hope to do

the secretary , Miss S. J. Barrows , niado the
following report :
Once more we meet to chronicle the gains
and losses ot the months gone by and con
sult how best to meet the duties and ncods
ol the coming year. Although the universal
financial distress has made aerlous Inroads
on our receipts , yet we have succeeded BO
ar In escaping debt and In keeping the
IOQSO open , We have even ventured on
omo much needed repairs In and about the
sliding , such ns papering , painting and
iOino carpenter work , In nil of which we
ere helped by generous friends ,
ho city laid a stone walk around
he bull-ding , which necessitated coma
filling In , and mason work , but the Improvo-
nent In looks and comfort repaid the ex >
lendlture. In November , 1893 , the subject
f a kindergarten for the children too young
'or admission to the public schools was
brought up and the result wax the establish
ment of such a school with Miss Drake as
eaclier , which was continued about flvo
months , when the teacher resigned , and , by
special permit from Superintendent Fltz-
patrlck , the children were sent to the
Lcavenworth kindergarten an arrangement
which has been very satisfactory to all con
cerned , with the pxceptlon of an epidemic ot
measles and mumps In the spring , which
passed away , leaving no III effects. The
majority of the parents have been generally
prompt In their paymcntu.
At our September meeting much discussion
was held as to the best meant ) of raising
money to carry us through the winter and It
was decided that an appeal should be made
through the newspapers , which was done , and
the result was very encouraging. Some of
the ladles visited the coal dealers and ob
tained several tons of coal. Donations of
sheen , dry goods and provisions were also
received , and J37.CO In cash. It Is evident
that the people have a mind to give , but the
hurt ] tlmcH and consequent demands on their
pur sea from all quarters niako their dona
tions much smaller than they would other
wise be. Our great reliance must still ba on
the parents of the children and their ability
to obtain work. Applications far the ad
mission of children are Increasing every
vcck and there ID every Indication that the
Creche will bo tnxed to Its utmost capacity
during tlio winter , and we can only trust for
the ftitlire aa we liavo In the past , that the
worthiness of the cause will raise up friends
( or It who will lend a helping hand to save
these little ones from being- sent back to
starvation and neglect. The largest number
or children In the house at ono
time was sixty-three In October of
last year , and the smallest' number , thirty-
nine in July last. At present every
bed is filled. And so wo enter upon our new
year with many gleams of sunshlno among
the shadows , giving us courage to go forward
In the work , taking this for our watchword ,

AN EXPERT'S RESEARCHES IN NOTTINGHAM
(Contributions by Harley of England and Denmark on Moralized Labor and the Multitude Effect on the British and Danish Manufacturing Communities.)
NOTTINGHAM, England, Oct. 20. (Special Correspondence of The Dec.) When I landed in England about a month ago, what I took to be the Tail of the moment treated with terrible intensity was woman. I have since found out my mistake in classing this new discovery by man as a fad, for after woman came the "advanced woman," who rapidly developed into the New Woman.
The New Woman is in a large degree a creature of imagination. It is hard to define her. She embraces every variety of her sex from the female doctor who talks in the drawing room of cases "quite unfit to print, you know." to the most cultivated and refined scholar and philosopher; from the little clumpy visitor to the wife of a noble peer of the realm. Naturally such a range has furnished material for the gentle satire of the playwright, the emotional tirades of the three-volume novelists, the topical songs of the music halls and the wiles of the political manipulators. On the platform the New Woman is debated, all sorts of jokes, scientific and silly, are cracked over her unlucky head. Comic papers have taken a new lease in cartoons, the mighty dailies bombard her with their heaviest artillery, the sixpenny weeklies satirize her, the monthly reviews philosophize over her, the physiologists dissect her, the psychologists vivisect her, and all London and is raging over her. Yet woman, the old woman, has been always with us. Still more to the point. As far as this country is concerned, she is going about her business apparently oblivious to the fact that British man, British man at that, has suddenly awakened to the increasing importance of woman in the body politic of the kingdom. It is not, however, with the New Woman as above discussed and written about that I propose to deal in this letter, but of woman as I find her in the United Kingdom side by side with man in nearly all the occupations of life. Not of the woman faddist depicted in the new novels and plays, but of woman as a wage earner. Not of the woman in search of new sensations who dilates at a Weald End dinner of her unprintable adventures in the slums, but of the women who are compelled to spend their lives in the dreary working quarters of the metropolis and in England's great centers of industrial energy. Not of the women who talk, but of the myriad women who work. Not of those who spend, but of the millions who earn. Not of those who play, but of the vast army that toils. Of those who, unlike their American kinswomen, are not alone toiling for their own independence, but to increase by a few shillings the weekly earnings of the head of the family.
WOMEN TOLLERS,
The army of women tollers, outside of the mothers and the wives in England, is a tremendous one. It is impossible to gauge the competitive power of England in the industrial battle between the two countries unless we ascertain to what extent woman has of late years been drawn into occupations which at one time belonged exclusively to man. While humane and stringent factory laws have in a measure stopped the brutalization of women in coal pits and as beasts of burden, the demand for cheap labor, in consequence of the specialization of British industry, has forced her into occupations which are rapidly undermining her physique and making it more difficult to bear healthy children. Not only free, strong, healthy single women, but married women who must leave their homes and domestic work and that most sacred of all trusts, the rearing of young children, to take their place in the mills and factories. According to the last British census, the proportion of married women thus employed in some of the principal industrial centers, including the one I am writing from, is as follows:
Industry. Proportion to total.
Signs Silks -
Bleaches. total now.
Lace. total now.
Worsted cloth. total now.
Woven cloth, (Leicester) total now.
Carpet (Kidderminster) total now.
Boot (Northampton) total now.
Clay (Portsmouth), total now.
Flour (Sheffield) total now.
Pottery (Trent) total now.
Here is my point. If the potteries of Trent, with the protection accorded them by the McKinley tariff bill, were compelled, for instance, to employ 531 married women in their potteries out of every 1000 women employed, then the sooner the pottery business was written down a failure the better. If American cotton mills and lace factories are employing over 400 married women out of every 1000 so engaged they are much nearer the British standard than I supposed. Are 50 percent of our operatives in the textile trades, for instance, married women? Are they compelled to toil in the mills in order to make the earnings of the head of the family sufficient to keep body and soul together? This is a pertinent question, especially when Mr. Wilson succeeds in forcing the rest of the free trade wedge into our industrial system. American workmen must not suppose that democratic free trade bedrock has been struck with the present bill. It is important, therefore, that he should know exactly the part woman takes in the British industrial system. He must know what she does, why she does it, the wages paid in the several competitive industries, together with the condition of the operatives. This is a good deal to treat of in one letter and condensation will be necessary.
INVADING ALL OCCUPATIONS.
To return to the woman who works as we find her in England today. The census of 1891 returns no less than 4,016,230 women engaged in definite occupations in England and Wales. These industrious wage earners are engaged in every imaginable branch of work. Speaking generally, we find that woman appears in all the twenty-five subclasses into which the British occupation tables are bunched, except only the defense of the country. In these tables we find women returned as bankers, brokers, and discount clerks, and within the last few months they have actually invaded the sacred precincts of the bank at England itself. They appear as district, municipal, parish, and union officers, and have broken through the upper crust of Bumbleism and are making the administration of pauper relief more humane and decent. While not actually engaged in the defense of the country, women in England may be found to blacksmith, forging the peaceful ploughshares and as "bayonet and sword makers," sharpening the implements of war. Women are enumerated as miners of coal, of lead, of copper, of limestone, and of iron ore. They are actively engaged as maltsters, brewers, and retailers of spirituous, vinous, and malt liquors. As barmaids, they administer to man's appetite for drink, as butchers and bakers and "buttermen," and "poultry dealers," and "dairymen," to his love of good living. As architects, the English women plan and build houses and in the occupations of plumber, gasfitter, bell-hanger, glazier, carpenter, and joiner, they keep the English homes in repair. And this does not conclude the catalogue of women's achievements in the industrial struggle with the arch-enemy man.
The stable and farm hand, once so exclusively his, by virtue of a revolt against social assault, and English women now returned as "cab man," "hotels calculator," "groom," "Jockey," "carriers," "farmhand," "plough dealer," "drovers," "leatherworkers," "tanners," and "veterinary surgeons." The song of "The Jolly Young Waterman" may soon be changed, for he may be a woman. There are women "boatmen" and "teamsters" and "bargemen" and "watermen," while about ships they figure as "ship handlers" and "shipwrights." An "watchman" and "lodge-keeper" they preside over houses and warehouses by day and by night, and as "messengers" and "porters" run errands and carry parcels, while in the hazardous work of "gamekeeper" they keep an ever wary eye on the festive poacher.
Even the shadiest and most indigenous of British occupations have not been strong enough to withstand the terrific force of the new woman army, and chimney sweep and counterfeiter would alike stand dismayed if they could read in the British blue books that the "missus" is coming to the front in both these pursuits. In short, woman in the great conflict has usurped many of the sweetest as well as the roughest prerogatives of man. As an "Insurance agent" she can insure life, "law clerk" your will, as "municipal officer" attest it, as "undertaker" bury you, and as "preacher" in your funeral sermon dilate on the comparative uselessness of man and the joys of a happy release from all his afflictions.
THE DOORS CLOSED.
Above I have only named some of the rather peculiar occupations of English women, in all those branches of work so well adapted for women our English cousins have made great headway and out of some hundred occupations given in the detailed report for 1911, I find the following with blanks in the "female" column:
Women in England are not army officers, bailiffs, solicitors, ship riggers, cement makers, bay cutlers, grave diggers, civil engineers, boiler makers, teamsters, colonel on British India service, railway contractors, dock laborers, locomotive drivers, locomotive stokers, railway guards, stone quarrymen, clergymen (of the Established Church), road inspectors, lime burners, Manchester warehousemen, priests, naval officers, level crossing attendants, policemen, sawyers.
The New Woman of the United States may paste this in her bonnet (if it has a crown), for it is all her kinswoman across the sea has to learn of man's pursuits and occupations. Abolish this little list and man and woman will practically stand equal. Then woman will have surely followed wherever man has dared to tread in pursuit of a livelihood.
What does all this mean?
Simply this. While English economists are prating about the "economy of high wages" and of the "highest paid labor" being "the most efficient," the English woman is being forced into almost every occupation (and the married woman at that) because her labor is cheaper than that of man's. Furthermore, that while preaching this to the credulous free traders in foreign countries, probably more than half the whole industrial population of Great Britain have to exist, and at present are existing on an income per head which is less than the cost of keeping her indoor paupers. This does not look like adhering to the fiction of the "economy of high wages."
Take, for example, the wages of these woman workers here in Nottingham, one of the places that will compete with our own canal towns, not only in machine-made lace, but in every variety of hosiery and knit goods. What is the condition of labor here? Far worse than I expected to find it. When I visited Nottingham twelve years ago I found the textile industries prosperous and wages for England fairly good. Today it is different. Like other towns, they are looking hopefully toward the United States and praying that President Cleveland and Mr. Wilson may fulfill their promise of a still further reduction. In such an event, how could American operatives compete with the wages that I find here today.
Women are earning from 6 cents to 35 cents per week. In the best of times when work is abundant those engaged in the large concerns like Messrs. J. & R. Morley's only make from $2 to $3 per week. Low as these rates are, what are called the "out-workers" are still worse off. Here is a sample right from the lips of a worker. This woman (what is called a middlewoman), hands men's drawers; for cutting, creasing, turning in, making out, punching and working buttonholes, taping and tying in dozens, she is paid 5 cents or 2½ pence a dozen. She pays out workers 2½ pence, or 1¼ cents, a dozen, and pays carriage to and from Shelford (eight miles from Nottingham). Another woman, "a seamer," joins up the toes and heels of stockings and is paid 1½ pence, or 8 cents per dozen pairs. She can make 3 shillings, or 72 cents, a week, by working hard all the time. Another, "a seamer," long cashmere frames at 18 cents, or 9 pence per dozen. Her average earnings are 2 shillings, or 48 cents, per week. Another seams from eight to nine hours daily. Her average earnings are 2½ pence, or 5 cents, a day. An other, a widow with two children, seams nine hours daily and earns 2½ pence, or 2½ cents an hour, working very hard. Her average weekly earnings are 3 shillings, or 72 cents. In the lace trade things are nearly as bad. One woman receives 2½ pence, or 1 cent a dozen yards for scalloping. She can scallop a dozen in an hour. For frilling, another could earn 3 shillings, or 72 cents, a week. If she neglected her home. Still another mends tulle. For ninety yards she receives 2 shillings, 48 cents. "She can make 3 shillings, or 72 cents, a week," when well supplied with work.
Speaking of the seaming trade generally, and the outworkers in it, one of the factory inspectors remarked that women who earn less than 3 shillings, 72 cents, a week, are either bad workers, or work less than fifty-five hours a week, but those who earn more than 72 cents are either specially well paid or they work extra hours, which would be counted as overtime in a factory.
"WHAT THEY EARNS.
How much more do they earn than 72 cents per week? At the outside $2 per week. And this these poor creatures do not receive in cash. The work is given out by middlewomen who keep wretched little grocery and general stores. One woman says that the price is 3 pence (6 cents) per dozen for seaming half hose in groceries, and 2½ pence (5 cents) in cash. And then with a sigh, she added:
"There is little work for them that asks for money."
One woman has seamed for ten years for one firm and never seen any money during that whole time. What did she get? Groceries, flour, etc. But living is so cheap in free trade England. Oh no! Look at this. This woman has to pay 2 pence per ounce for the wretched grade of tea she uses. Think of it, 64 cents per pound. More than 2 cents per pound for flour; poor quality butter, 30 cents per pound; bacon, 18 cents per pound; cheese, 10 cents per pound. All of the commonest and cheapest sorts.
After reading this, and I can substantiate every word and every figure, the Anglo-American dude congratulates himself on the reduction which Mr. Wilson says will take place in the cost of British cloth. What does the American woman think of this degradation of woman, new or old? Possibly these facts and figures may explain why knit goods are so cheap even in protectionist America and why it is so difficult to manufacture these things at home and pay living wages.
Another point that American labor organizations should look into, namely, that some of the women who do this work are helped regularly by the parish, so much per week. Is it right that American labor should be thus asked to compete against the firm of John Bull and the poorhouse? This comes dangerously near prison labor.
Meantime, the British free trader is talking of high-paid labor and reduced cost of production. From $1 to $3 a week is a safe range of women's earnings in the Nottingham and Leicester districts, a very small percentage at most.
And now a word about button makers. Already I hear of our button factories closing and the hands being thrown out of employment. And no wonder. I found in a Birmingham factory when I was there that a majority in a large factory could earn $2.50 per week. This tells the story of tar as woman is concerned:
Number in every 100 women and girls earning under $1.44 per week: 40.4; $1.44 to $2.52 per week, 35.5; $2.52 to $2.40 per week, 18.5; $2.40 to $2.80 per week, 6.5.
Women wage earners in the United States, what do you think of these figures? Nearly eighty out of every 100 employed earning less than $1.82 per week. Over forty in every 100 less than $1.60 for a week's work, No wonder our button factories close and bar their doors. Better do this than thus degrade honest labor.
The pottery of the United States deserves great credit for what they have accomplished when we take into consideration the wages there. For their benefit, I provide a table showing the wages paid women in the Staffordshire potteries and the number in each 100 working at each rate. I make no comparisons with American wages, for each individual operative who reads this letter knows exactly how her wages compare with theirs. The following table represents nearly 1,600 workers and may be regarded as absolutely reliable.
Number in each 100 women and girls earning per week:

Hope and twine Industries, were selected by the free traders and doomed. No ordinary cut of duty would do here but absolute free trade. With the following wages paid women in Liverpool and Manchester perhaps these industries may be able to compete even with British manufactures:
Number in each 100 women and girls earning under $1.46, 15.5; $1.46 to $1.95, 30.0; $1.95 to $2.43, 4.5; $2.43 to $2.92, 33.3; $3.92 and upward, 16.7.
Here we find nearly forty-six in each 100 employed earning less than $2 per week.
Working not in country cottages amid the green fields, but in the horrible coke towns in the vilest tenement houses, where the death rate is appalling to scientific men. Existing in localities where the death rate among women sometimes exceeds fifty to the 1,000 or 5 percent per annum of the population. "The continuance of a death rate such as this for three years," says an official report, "in an extensive district in the heart of Manchester, is a source of grave anxiety to the medical officer of health,"
And well it may be so.
THE HOME MARKET.
Until the new tariff bill was enacted, we were doing well in the manufacture of carpets. Mr. North's report shows nearly 30,000 persons employed in making carpets. We had won the control of our home market. In quantity, we produced more than any other country. The average wages actually paid women in this industry exceeded $1 per working day, or $325 per year. In Bradford, Halifax, and Leeds, their average pay, that is their earnings when they work, are half that amount, or $3 to $5.50 per week.
It has been shown that in all the large textile centers of England, women's wages range from 75 cents to $3.50 per week. That the women who thus work are not young girls, but in some cases over 50 percent are married women, wives, and mothers who are compelled to neglect their homes and their children to add a pittance to the weekly earnings, so that, including the husband and children, it may become a living wage. It is this point that I am trying to emphasize in this letter. If I shall succeed, it will more than compensate for many miles of travel and many interviews with the victims of this human degradation. The effect of this sort of work is to demoralize the family. Unhappiness, drunkenness arise in working families where the wives are in the mills. It destroys the home, dirtiness and untidiness reign where comfort and order should abide. Children are neglected and mortality is high. The stamina of the children is undermined in two ways: First, the effect of the mill work upon the mother is injurious; secondly, the institution of a "baby farmer" for a mother is even worse. The whole system is vicious. To introduce it into the United States is criminal. To bring about a competition that will tend thus to reduce the standard of our women is worse than folly. When Governor McKinley talks of the homes of the American wage earners and points out how his tariff law protected them from the poverty and hopeless misery of the workers of Europe, he undoubtedly has in mind the homes in which the women as well as the men are compelled to "spend the day at the mill or factory." The strength and safety of the republic is in its homes. Destroy them by compelling all to become wage earners and half the strength is gone. All this is laughed at here and called sentimentalism, and its advocates are called sentimentalists. At home, we called it looking after the general welfare of the people.
OLD NOTTINGHAM.
I cannot close without a word about old Nottingham, one of the oldest and most remarkable cities in England. At one time Nottingham enjoyed the distinction of being the most drunken city in England. I was there for a couple of days this year, Goose Fair week, and the people seemed determined to keep up its bacchanalian reputation. I never saw so much good-hearted, jovial inebriation before. Thousands came in from the country round about and prodigious quantities of ale must have been consumed.
The principal part of Goose Fair is held on the market place, the largest, by the way, in England. From this center the booths and tents run in every direction. It is indeed a curious and interesting sight to see vast heaps of every variety of food piled up on these stalls and upon the ground. Then, of course, comes the other attractions of a country fair, including side shows of all degrees. The freaks of England seem to let loose in Nottingham, market place. Anything goes during fair week, and the genial policeman seems to debate the question of locking up drunkards with the convivial law breakers themselves on the street corners. Walking through a narrow court leading to the market place, called the Shambles, I noticed a curious-looking oil painting in wood in front of a very low and very ancient butcher's shop. It turned out to be a fair portrait of the unfortunate young Nottingham poet, Henry Kirk White. In vain I endeavored to interview the busy butcher in relation to this portrait, but all I could learn was that in this tumbled-down old place the melancholy poet first saw light, March 21, 1785. There was something so incongruous in the old-fashioned, refined, scholarly head adorning a butcher's shop in the city Shambles. The author of "Clifton Hampden" is hardly known in his own dear Nottingham and a visit to four booksellers failed to produce a copy of his works. One clerk said he believed there was an 18-penny edition of White published, but there was no call for it in the great center of machine-made lace. And this of the poet who sang of Nottingham:
When splendor offers, and when fame invites,
I'll pause, and think of all your dear delights,
Reject the boon, and weary'd with the change,
Remove the wish which first induced to range.
Turn to those scenes, these well-known scenes once more,
Trace once again old Trent's romantic shore.
Poor White died young. Though the son of a butcher, he rose rapidly to fame and left enough classical poetry to stimulate speculation as to what he might have done had he lived the allotted life of man. Anyway, his classic face should not adorn a tumbled-down butcher's shop and his works deserve something better than an 18-penny edition not on sale.
Eugene Field in Cincinnati recomends.
See what a wonderful garden here.
Plant all and timed for my Little-Oh-Dear
Posies among gaudy and grass of such browns
Search ye the country and hunt ye the town,
And never ye'll meet with a garden so queer
As this one I've made for my Little-Oh-Deer!
Marigolds red, and buttercups blue,
Lilies all dabbled in honey and dew.
The cactus that trails over trellises and wall,
Roses and pansies and violets all
Make proper obeisance and reverent cheer
When into her garden steps Little-Oh-Deer!
And up at the top of that lavender tree
A silver bird sings as only can she;
For, ever and only, who sings the song,
"I love you! I love you!" the happy day along!
Then the echo, the echo that smites me here:
I love you! I love you, my Little-Oh-Deer!
The garden may wither, the silver bird fly,
But what care the my little precious, or I
From her pathway of flowers that in spring-time
Unfurl and uplift,
She walks the tenderer way in my heart!
And, oh! It is always the summertime here,
With that song of "I love you," my Little-Oregon Kidney Tea. cure backaches. Trial 25 cents. All druggists.

Dr. Updike admitted that he had once shared the views with so many ministers in Christian churches seem to hold of education by the Bible - but he said when one sees the really good work that a State university is doing, and when he considers the larger work that it could do if it only had the cooperation and sympathy of the best people of the state, the whole question presents an entirely different aspect. One feels instinctively that nothing must stand in the way of a great and beneficial work. It takes a great deal of money today to thoroughly endow a university. Ten millions of dollars is scarcely too much. The smaller schools in the state may say that an earnest faculty and a few instructors make a college, and that millions do not count, but this no longer answers for argument with bright, quick-witted young men. Every educated man knows that he receives quite as much from contact with a large body of students, and from opportunities in well-equipped libraries and laboratories as he possibly can from teachers or text books. And so it is coming to be more and more a serious question with all church schools, not heavily endowed, as to how they can be supported and made to compete at least favorably with institutions that have behind them the property of a whole commonwealth.
There is another question which Dr. Updike said was intensely practical: every member of the church is also a citizen. He must do his part in sustaining the educational work of the state, and when he comes in addition to that to be obliged to contribute to his own church school, either the burden is too great or the school falls of anything like proper endowment. Colleges of the weaker class must always look for endowments from rich men; but it will require a vast number of rich men, giving all their fortunes, to build up those smaller schools in any state, so that they can in any sense take rank with the State university. There really is no demand for so many schools at the present time. There might be some grounds of justification if the several denominations would unite their forces on the basis of building up one distinctly Christian college. But a combination of all the church schools in the state would not equal one-half of what the state has invested in its university. The practical side of this question is easily gathered from the remark of a prominent minister in one of the denominations in Nebraska: "There are ministers all over this state whose salaries are in arrears and unpaid because the congregations have been compelled to contribute to the maintenance of an inferior school, when the university, with all of its larger opportunities, lies open at their hand."
Dr. Updike felt that it was a very unwise thing for Christian people, and especially for Christian educators, to draw away from the university as some of them are now doing; and a very inconsistent thing for them to draw away in this manner and then cause the report to go out that the university is unchristian. He held that it is the duty of the church to project as much of its life as possible into the state, through all the institutions of the state. It was a strange thing, indeed, for the church to say to young people, "Come to these inferior schools and we will look after you, but if you go elsewhere you can take care of yourselves." The poorest kind of a policy on the part of the churches, the most unreasonable thing and unchristian thing for any people to do, is to let 1000 of the brightest young men and women of the state feel that they no longer had the interest of the Christian men and women of the state, because they are not willing or are not able to attend these minor schools. There is probably not a denomination in the state that has not more of its own people in the State university than in its own church school, and yet it is doing practically nothing for them. The speaker's remedy for the present condition was not to disband the minor schools on the other hand, nor on the other to attempt to bring them into competition with the university. Most of them are at least on the basis of fair academies, and are doing good work, but he suggested that each denomination should build a dormitory or church home near the State university. This home could be made a religious center. In every such dormitory there would be one or more teachers who could take intellectual rank with the best in the university, and who should have in charge certain branches, especially religious or denominational, not covered by the university course. It would not be difficult to make arrangements by which these studies could be substituted for other elective studies in a regular university course. If desired. Such an equipment would not cost any one denomination anything like the sum which they are spending for inferior education under embarrassing circumstances.
Dr. Updike felt that there could be no better place for theological schools than by the side of a great State university, and that the intellectual stimulus of the university is the best possible stimulus that a student can have while fitting for his work. This would end at once the threadbare cry that state universities furnish a very small number of young men for the ministry. Under the circumstances, the speaker said, it was a wonder that they furnished any. When the church ignores the state schools and leaves them to take care of themselves and then complains because they do not turn out more candidates for the ministry, it is intensely inconsistent.
The sermon closed with the statement that the State universities have come to anything, that to ignore what the state has done and is doing and to go on making plans to build up unnecessary denominational schools, when the same money invested elsewhere would do ten times the good, is a squandering of God's money, for which some account will have to be rendered. No one, he said, would think of asking well-endowed church schools to disband; but the poor, struggling, poverty-stricken colleges, scattered through all the western states, that have no outlook, that must continue to beg as long as they live, and that frequently only live to beg, and that cannot hope to do otherwise, would better seriously consider the proposition whether they might not do more good either by becoming well-equipped preparatory schools, or by taking their small endowment and with it erect a church home near the State university, and thus take after a great number of their own young people, of whom they now assert that they have little religious education.

OMAHA CHARITY ASSOCIATION.
Annual Report of the Secretary and Treasurer. The Work Accomplished.
At the recent meeting of the Omaha Charity association, which sustains the Creche, the secretary, Miss S. J. Barrows, made the following report:
Once more we meet to chronicle the gains and losses of the months gone by and consult how best to meet the duties and needs of the coming year. Although the universal financial distress has made serious inroads on our receipts, yet we have succeeded so far in escaping debt and in keeping the Creche open. We have even ventured on some much-needed repairs in and about the building, such as papering, painting, and minor carpenter work, in all of which we were helped by generous friends. The city laid a stone walk around the building, which necessitated some filling in, and mason work, but the improvement in looks and comfort repaid the expenditure. In November, 1893, the subject of a kindergarten for the children too young for admission to the public schools was brought up and the result was the establishment of such a school with Miss Drake as teacher, which was continued about five months, when the teacher resigned, and, by special permit from Superintendent Fitzgerald, the children were sent to the Leavenworth kindergarten, an arrangement which has been very satisfactory to all concerned, with the exception of an epidemic of measles and mumps in the spring, which passed away, leaving no ill effects. The majority of the parents have been generally prompt in their payments.
At our September meeting much discussion was held as to the best means of raising money to carry us through the winter and it was decided that an appeal should be made through the newspapers, which was done, and the result was very encouraging. Some of the ladies visited the coal dealers and obtained several tons of coal. Donations of sheet, dry goods, and provisions were also received, and $137.50 in cash. It is evident that the people have a mind to give, but the hardships and consequent demands on their purses from all quarters make their donations much smaller than they would otherwise be. Our great reliance must still be on the parents of the children and their ability to obtain work. Applications for the admission of children are increasing every week and there is every indication that the Creche will be taxed to its utmost capacity during the winter, and we can only trust for the future as we have in the past, that the worthiness of the cause will raise up friends for it who will lend a helping hand to save these little ones from being sent back to starvation and neglect. The largest number of children in the house at one time was sixty-three in October of last year, and the smallest number, thirty-nine in July last. At present every bed is filled. And so we enter upon our new year with many gleams of sunshine among the shadows, giving us courage to go forward in the work, taking this for our watchword, "For Bread and Humanity."
The report of the treasurer, Ada T. Walker, was:

Leave, Chicago, and reach Pacific Coast. October 27. Rev.
Sheldon Jackson, commissioner of education for Alaska, has arrived from Arctic. He reports that the herd of Siberian reindeer at Port Clarence has been increased to 700 head, and that they are thriving excellently, very few dying. The colony of Laplanders, which was taken there last spring, are instructing the natives in raising and training the animals. He denies the report that any of them were killed by falling over precipices.
Mrs. John Holly, whose husband manages a transportation company on the Yukon River, arrived from Fortymile Creek recently. She says the Canadian government this summer sent in two customs officers, who collected duties on goods imported at Fortymile Creek diggings, a small territory belonging to Canada. Very rich placer diggings have been discovered on Injuna and Birch Creeks.
The British steamer Winifred, seized last year for illegal sealing, has been sold at Sitka for $1700.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27. The grand jury has brought in indictments against Captain Schmidtberger of the tenderloin precinct and ex-Wardman Gannon now of the Twenty-fourth precinct. Both men are charged in the indictments with receiving bribes in connection with their official capacity as members of the police force.
Police Captain Max Schmidtberger was brought to the district attorney's office and was admitted to bail at $7,500. The warrant issued for Gannon will not be served for some time, if at all, Gannon has been in Ireland for three months and apparently no notion of returning. | 25 |

During the early portion of the pant week
the. extremely ihltd weather had anything
but an encouraging effect upon trade , either
In a retail or Jobbing way. With the sun
Ahlntnif almost us warmly an In the middle
of summer there wits' \eiy little reason for
consumers to be In any hutry nboul l.i > lng
In supplies of winter clothing or other Hn-
eonable goods. With a milct retail demand
the jobbers experienced a falling oft In the
volume of business ) doing ull along the line.
During Iho latter half of the week the
weathtr turrfed cooler and conditions were
far more favorable for a good tratle , and
with a continuance of nuch weather ileilers
In nil lints of winter goods anticipate a
good trade during the week to come. While
there has been a falling oft In the volume of
busings during the past week , still there
lion been connldcrable doing nnd the trade
upon , the whole , has not been un-satlsfac-
tory. .Merchants , as a rule , were doing na
much ns llii-y could expect under Ihe prevailing -
vailing conditions and were not disposed to
complain.
The Interest which Is being taken In the
political campaign Is lather distracting to
trade. With th lr attention upon the i lltl-
cal question * of the day n good many busi
ness men nro neglecting to push business
ns hard OH usual , nnd there Is no doubt
but what the volume of trade Is reduced In
no small rtegrre by that cause. In addition
to that tliLre Is nlunyn more or less per
sonal Ill-will developed during great politi
cal contents which has a most unfavor
able effect , upon business , causing different
houses and imlMduula to discontinue busi
ness relations with each other Traveling
mpn who have returned to the city during
the past two or three da > n report that
there & a go6d deal of feeling among conn
try Mierchanto and thatIt Is hard work to
sell to those who happen to be on the oilier
slile of the political question from that
taken by the jobber.
Trade In the states west of Nebraska Is
In very fair condition and the demand for
foods from that section of the country Is
adding very materially to the total volume
of business transacted by thu Omaha job
bers.
Collections , as n rule , are fairly nails
factory nnd the retail trade of the1 country
Is meeting obligations with reasonable
promptness. In gome quarters It requires
close attention lo keep collections up , but
that Is a condition that hus to be met at
nit tlmcu In the west. There are a great
many good ictall houses In the country
that never make any pretension to pay n
bill when It falls due unless a statement
of the account Is sent them In most sec-
tlpns of the country the pending of n state
ment is regarded us n dun and a good many
merchants who consider their credit as good
would re.sent the n-celpt of such a missive
In the wrst , howe\er. It Is different , an <
the average retail merchant docs not think
that he Is under uny obligations to mee
a bill until ho has received a statement
to the uITcct that his account Is due and
that u remittance Is In order.
During the past week there has been a
plight gnln In the bank clearings nt Omaha
amounting to only 2.1 > per cent. AVhlle
this Is a small Increase , It Is better than the
average for the whole country , which bho
a decrease. The heaviest decrease of any
city In the country Is In the case of Buffalo ,
which Hhuws a fulling off ns compared with
last year , amounting to U per cent. With
a population , according to the hist census ,
of 25oC ( , lluffalo leportff clearings for the
week of only J.VJ1T.108 , which Is over Jl.OOO-
000 less than Omahii.
AS DIKNMI-I :

Mr. W , II. noberaon , manager of U. Cl.
Dun & Co-'s mercantile agency , speaklni ;
of Omuli.i and Nebraska trade , gays :
"Tfie only , realy ] dsUcartenlr | > R tfilng fHat
Jin.s come under my eye for the past week
Is the announcement In the press that at
the MorscCoeshoe factory lire the ap
paratus -was In bad order and the pressure
unequal to the demands of the occasion.
Omaha has suffered In purse und In repu
tation on account of frequent disastrous
conflagrations , and It Is depressing In the
extreme to the business community to feel
that the lire protection Is Inadequate.
"In the cast the reports -ontlntle encour-
ncmjr , though It Is admitted there IT no
very marked Improvement anywhere , CJold '
exports consuil this week nnd a few factories
tories- resumed , llustness halts again for
the elections , and no genuine pi ogress will
bo made towardT the recovery we all hope
for until these are over. There Is one uni
versal sentiment among business men con
cerning elections and that Is that they me
un unmitigated nuisance. It the nation
could be given a little respite from pestifer
ous -politics things would move on much
more profitably to all concerned and the
people would have time to recoup them
selves ami quiet their fears for thu future
"Wholesale Brocers agree that October
will be the largest month of the year In
point of aeB. ! Boot and shoe men Bay
September waa their record breaker , not
only for the ycai , but for several yearn ,
ami October has brcn fully up to the aver
age of Rood seasons. In dry Koods trade
has fallen off a little during the week , but
the month has. been quite equal to expecta
tions. The liquor trade Is bad and the
beer season Is nbout over , foreign liquor
salesmen are. here In considerable numbers ,
but all agree that trade is Insufferably dull
In crockery lines , tradeIs only fnlr and
merchant tailoring talcs am decidedly flat.
The watm weather has seriously retarded
the oyster trade and the close of the fruit
nn < l vegetable season makes a listless feel-
Ine In the commission . .trade , though pota
toes , apples , grapes ana a few oranges are
coming In. Prices are fairly good.
"The Umnhii Fruit Auction company- has
practically closed Its first season , having
handled nearly 2CO cars , The experiment
was. on the whole , a success , though the
irrcat railway strike occurred In the height
of , the California fruit season and cut the
company's receipts down uhout 100 cara
from what they should have reached. The
auction Is hire to stay In nil probability
and next year Is likely to Include all DID
fruit houses nnd to conducted more with
a view to protecting the commission dealers
The present season the enterprising ped
dler has reaped largely where the commis
sion houses HO wed.
"At the b inks there Is plenty of money
for present demands. . Uornwers are few
nd by no means clamorous. The shrinkage
In deposits has been qulle marked recently
but people do not cull for th * surplus at
the * banns with nny alacrity. One of out
best known binkers predicts a greatly Im
proved demand for loans a little later on.
"The work , of the charter revision com
mittee Is fairly under way and perhap'
completed. The general public and the leg
islative candidates should be taken Into the
confidence of Ihe committee , however , ami
the delegation should not be left In doubt
as to what public sentiment demands hero

CHICAGO. Oct. 27.-Busine34 WAS again
extremely llBht in Ihe speculative market
and the dullness had an adverse effect upon
the condition of wheat , December declining
with a loss for the day of * c. Corn was
sustained by the evidence , of a gradual ent-
Ing away ot local stocks ant n prospective
scarcity of the contract Rrade , and Stay
closp < t unchanged , with December 6 c higher.
May oats closed He. lower , und provisions
matin moderate pains.
Wheat opened with a semblance of Irn-
provemcnt In tone , 62&c being bid for De
cember for a Tew moment1 * , but the faint
bubble of demand soon burst and there
were sellers at B2Hc n , minute or two later.
Northwestern receipts were again heavy ,
Minneapolis reporting- cars and Dttluth
357 , or 1,041 In nil , compared with 1,000 cars
the corresponding day of the year before.
Chicago received 117 cars. Foreign markets
were nliout steady- . Liverpool was quoted
unchanged for spot nml remote futures and
lid lower for October. Paris JRUS lOc hlgh"er
for wheat and unchanged for flour llerlln
was Ji murk higher for wheat. The clear
ances of wheat nnd Hour for this week for
both coasts , as shown by llradstreet's ,
amounted to 3.153,000 bu , nsalnst 3 WOO 1m
on the previous week , nnd compared with
3.3.T7UOO IU. on thu cortesponultiir week ut
last year. The visible supply promised to
show what the bears call another "hand
some" Increase. Primary market receipts
for today \Vere 7S8,7 8 bu , Including those
at Kansas City ; shipments -were 311,782 bu.
The exports for twenty-four houra from At
lantic ports amounted In wheat and flour
to 383,000 bu , Business toward the end of
the session was a shadu easier than
curlier In the day and the Increased trading
was at the expense of the bulls , December
ruling about 52'4c nbout fifteen minutes
from the end The -very light business en
abled local short sellers who have nil Iho
money In the- trade to stick the Rod still
deeper Into the bulls' flanks nnd g-et the
prlco down another % c. December sold al
52c and closed at that. May , which opened
at G7Uc < declined nnd closed at Mc.
Corn was a shade weaker on an average
for May. but much flttner for October .tnd
December. The latter feature was the only
noticeable one In the day's transactions.
This-week's local movement has resulted" In
an estimated lessening of elevator stocks to
the extent of uSOOOO bu , , and the stock taken
on Monday Is not likely to show more than
nbout 400,000 bu. of No. 2 corn in Chicago.
Today's receipts -were 1C9 cars , and with
drawals from store , 131,001 bu. New Yclrk
reported six boatloads sold there today for
export. Liverpool was another Id per cental
higher for October. The Chicago holders of
October options In Liverpool nppear to be
having- things all their own way esti
mated receipts here for Monday nre 200
cars. October opened nt S0c nnd closed nt
B0-ic ; December , which closed yesterday at
48V2C , opened nt 4S ) o and gradually worked
upward until It reached 43 &p , renctlnK from
that to 43V&C at the close. May opened and
closed at 43c , sellingas low as 43c In
between
The oats market was quite active al In
tervals during the session , nnd altogether
a. fair business was transacted. It wns
thought Hint the liquidation of long oats
is now nbout over nnd also that the shorts
have quite full covered. An easier feeling
prevailed and prices closed under yester
day's * last quotations. May at 32c , sellers.
At the start It sold at 32Jc , later up to
from 324e ! to 32 > ic and down to from 31c
to XlTsc.
The provision market Improved slightly ,
due to some llttlo covering of shorts and n
halt In the selling pressure. Hog receipts
were 14,000 head and 10,000 head are esti
mated for Monday. Speculative trading
was light nnd prices at Ihci close showed ,
an Improvement of. l\ic In pork -and 2&c in
lard and ribs. The latest quotations were

* YOUK , Oct. 17. Interest In specu-
ttion on the Stock exchange today was
entered almost entirely In the coal shares
hlch were subjected to heavy pressures in
ontlnuatlon of the bear campaign against

rat wns heaviest , but Delaware , I acka-
nniin & Westein made the greatest de-
Ine , while Heading wns comparatively Well

rease In earnings , compared with last

ringing- the stock down to a lower le-\el

iles were made In the finals. H Per cent

the general market opened dull nnd fairly
teady , but the depression In the coalers
vas quickly communicated to the others ot
he list nnd prices sagged off. Northwcst-
ni was raided by the shorts and gave way

tie lowest. The break In Northwest wns
ccompanled by rumors that n scaling of
id dividend rates would have to be made ,
wing to dccrcn'-cd earnings , which were ,
owever , seml-olllclally denied The move-
nent In the other grangers was trfllntr , a

The bank statement was regarded as un-
a-vorable na reilectlng n congested money
narket and a contraction of business and
lie-share speculation was somewhat wettk-
ned thereby and closed heavy The past
veck has been one of the dullest In the
Istory of the Stoik ! exchange , the total
ransactlons for Ihe week being 132,000
harps , which amount of business Is only
qua ! to a .single day's work under normal
omlltlons. In the llrst half of Iho week
peculation was stagnant , hut for the past
wo days a hear demonstration ngnln&t Ihe

cpt In the final dealings , when there were
ructlottnl recessions In sympathy with trie
yeakness In the shate ntuiket The trans-
ctlona aggregated { 070,000
As a result of the trading fractional de-
lines were established In most of the 1s-
ues dealt In , while advances were made of
11 per cent in Wisconsin Central nnd 1 per

has been in the main firm , In contrnst with

airly active , the total sales reaching the

The principal feature about the. cattle mar
ket this week hni been Its monotonous
steadiness. Receipts hove been of the same
general character from day lo day , the de
mand has not changed materially and prices
have been pretty much In the same notches ,
Very few choice cattle , cither natives or
westerns , IM\Q been received , but such ha\e
brought good , stiff llgures , showing an
actlvit demand and n strung market far
anything of that kind. Choice 1,430-lb
coined natives sold up to $535 , .ind the top
for choice I,320-lb rangcts was JI.1& On
the common half fat utooK thill made up
HIP bulk of the olterlnps the market rulrd
dull and weak from one end of the wt-ik
to the other , and about ull that can be said
of the past nK days' business Is that good
stock Is slightly stronger nnd common stuff
slightly weaker than It was on last Htt-
unlii > .
Today's supply was rnthrr light , even for
the last day of the week. Hut b2 loads were
receUcd , nnd these wete Inigcly cows ami
feelers There was the usual ctlede
mand for desirable beef stock , and on the
tow that answered that description here the
market ruled active nnd strong. A bunch
of choice , fat native yearlings sold foi J1SJ
and some very fair l,18i-lb , westerns
brought W 40. Common stuff was more or
less , neglected , but prices were not quotubly
lower There was n fair undertone of
strength tq the trade and un early clear
ance was made.
The cow market was ttbout like the mar
ket for fat cattle. Medium to choice cows
and heifers , both natives nnd rangers , sold
readily at good steady prices , but on ac
count of n lack of outside competition din
ners % scre slow sellers and at very low-
prices. That was about the condition of
the trade today. There has been an active
demand nil week for \eal calves and they
sold strong today. Mo to 75c better than n
week ngo The -market for bulls , stags and
rough Block generally has born lather dull ,
but prices have not suffered mntetlally.
The BtocKor and feeder trade has not been
In a "xeiy mitlsfactorj condition lUcelpts
have been rather llberali and as the demand
has not been partlculaily urpent from uny
ourcp the movement linn lucked life , al
though the volume lias been large. Good
lleshy stock continues In the best demand ,
ns It will not take too much corn to got
them In marketable condition. Smooth , will
bred cattle also command sonic attention
nnd faltly good prices , but the cattle be
tween these grades nn > In excessive supply
and are a drug on the market. The bulk of
thi > trading today was at around F-30 to
J270. He prcscn tat I vc sales :

CONDITION OF NEBRASKA'S TRADE
Business in All Lines Shows "Warm Weather Effects",
Collections as a Rule Satisfactory
51st Street merchants in Unit In the More meat of Eatoniable Goods Cooler
Ventilation improved to Oive Simple to Trade
During the early portion of the past week, the extremely hot weather had anything but an encouraging effect upon trade, either in a retail or jobbing way. With the sun shining almost as warmly as in the middle of summer, there was very little reason for consumers to be in any hurry about buying supplies of winter clothing or other reasonable goods. With a meek retail demand, the jobbers experienced a falling off in the volume of business they were doing along the line. During the latter half of the week, the weather turned cooler and conditions were far more favorable for a good trade, and with a continuance of such weather dealers in all lines of winter goods anticipate a good trade during the week to come. While there has been a falling off in the volume of business during the past week, still there has been considerable doing and the trade, upon the whole, has not been unsatisfactory. Merchants, as a rule, were doing as much as they could expect under the prevailing conditions and were not disposed to complain.
The interest which is being taken in the political campaign is rather distracting to trade. With their attention upon the political questions of the day, a good many business men are neglecting to push business as hard as usual, and there is no doubt but what the volume of trade is reduced in no small degree by that cause. In addition to that, there is always more or less personal ill-will developed during great political contests which has a most unfavorable effect upon business, causing different houses and individuals to discontinue business relations with each other. Traveling men who have returned to the city during the past two or three days report that there is a good deal of feeling among country merchants and that it is hard work to sell to those who happen to be on the other side of the political question from that taken by the jobber.
Trade in the states west of Nebraska is in very fair condition and the demand for foods from that section of the country is adding very materially to the total volume of business transacted by the Omaha jobbers.
Collections, as a rule, are fairly satisfactory and the retail trade of the country is meeting obligations with reasonable promptness. In some quarters, it requires close attention to keep collections up, but that is a condition that has to be met at this time in the west. There are a great many good retail houses in the country that never make any pretension to pay a bill when it falls due unless a statement of the account is sent to them. In most sections of the country, the sending of a statement is regarded as a demand and a good many merchants who consider their credit as good would resent the receipt of such a missive in the first place, however, it is different, and the average retail merchant does not think that he is under any obligations to meet a bill until he has received a statement to the effect that his account is due and that a remittance is in order.
During the past week, there has been a slight gain in the bank clearings at Omaha amounting to only 21% per cent. While this is a small increase, it is better than the average for the whole country, which shows a decrease. The heaviest decrease of any city in the country is in the case of Buffalo, which shows a falling off as compared with last year, amounting to 8 per cent. With a population, according to the last census, of 255,000, Buffalo reports clearings for the week of only $2,711,108, which is over $1,000,000 less than Omaha.
AS DIVERSITY:
Worst and Bright of the Denver Connection Locally
and 'Color High So Forth.
Mr. W. H. Robertson, manager of U. C. Dun & Co.'s mercantile agency, speaking of Omaha and Nebraska trade, says:
"The only really discouraging thing that has come under my eye for the past week is the announcement in the press that at the Mores Coleshoe factory, the apparatus was in bad order and the pressure unequal to the demands of the occasion. Omaha has suffered in purse and in reputation on account of frequent disastrous conflagrations, and it is depressing in the extreme to the business community to feel that the fire protection is inadequate.
"In the east, the reports indicate encouragement, though it is admitted there is no very marked improvement anywhere. Gold exports consist this week and a few factories have resumed business, but the halt again for the elections, and no genuine progress will be made toward the recovery we all hope for until these are over. There is one universal sentiment among business men concerning elections and that is that they are an unmitigated nuisance. If the nation could be given a little respite from pestiferous politics, things would move on much more profitably to all concerned and the people would have time to recoup themselves and quiet their fears for the future.
"Wholesale Brokers agree that October will be the largest month of the year in point of sales. Boot and shoe men say September was their record breaker, not only for the year, but for several years, and October has been fully up to the average of good seasons. In dry goods trade has fallen off a little during the week, but the month has been quite equal to expectations. The liquor trade is bad and the beer season is about over, foreign liquor salesmen are here in considerable numbers, but all agree that trade is insufferably dull in crockery lines, trade is only fair and merchant tailoring sales are decidedly flat. The warm weather has seriously retarded the oyster trade and the close of the fruit and vegetable season makes a listless feeling in the commission trade, though potatoes, apples, grapes, and a few oranges are coming in. Prices are fairly good.
"The Omaha Fruit Auction company has practically closed its first season, having handled nearly 200 cars. The experiment was, on the whole, a success, though the great railway strike occurred in the height of the California fruit season and cut the company's receipts down about 100 cars from what they should have reached. The auction is here to stay, in all probability, and next year is likely to include all the fruit houses and to be conducted more with a view to protecting the commission dealers. The present season the enterprising peddler has reaped largely where the commission houses did not wed.
"At the banks, there is plenty of money for present demands. Borrowers are few and by no means clamorous. The shrinkage in deposits has been quite marked recently but people do not call for the surplus at the banks with any alacrity. One of our best-known bankers predicts a greatly improved demand for loans a little later on.
"The work of the charter revision committee is fairly under way and perhaps completed. The general public and the legislative candidates should be taken into the confidence of the committee, however, and the delegation should not be left in doubt as to what public sentiment demands here, denunciate, when the charter comes up in the legislature, the opposition suddenly wakes and for two weeks Omaha and Lincoln are stirred from boundary to center with the hum of the contesting citizens."
sens. If possible, we should adjust all dire
forces there and so avoid making an exhibit
of mistrust or rancor. It is the clinician
"The time is rapidly approaching for the
vote on the canal proposition. And it behooves every citizen, who favors this grand enterprise to bestir himself, wrestle with his neighbor. It takes two-thirds of all the votes cast to carry the bonds. The business men of Ontario will make a great mistake if they permit their interest in other things to prevent them from putting this undertaking through. I concur that the canal is important, feasible and proposed honestly, have no hesitancy in speaking for it the votes of good citizens.
HISTORY, POLITICS, AND BUSINESS INTERFERING WITH THE LOCAL TRADE.
Albert Andilimp, local superintendent for Snow, Church & Co.'s mercantile agency, observes:
"Unseasonable weather and politics have combined to depress business during the past week. Retailers in all lines of trade complain of a marked falling off in business. Wholesale trade has naturally suffered in a correspondingly large degree. The effect of the warm weather has been most apparent in dry goods, clothing, and hardwear lines. Boot and shoe dealers are preparing for the rising season, but report quite a volume of mail orders.
"In this non-operating caps there is little doing now, this being between seasons. The grocers report a fair trade.
"With all this, business caps up fairly well now and trade is looking better than was expected daily in the season. All that is necessary in recovering malaise now is a few days of cold weather.
"The room lightning affects not merely local but prevails throughout the east. There is also a lack of moisture in some parts of the country, which is creating some uncertainty in other sections. Considerable rain has fallen, however, and the season is such that an unusually wet weather would do no harm.
"Dealers in boots and shoes are anxiously hoping for more wet weather to stimulate trade and boot and shoe men would receive an increase in their regular list as well.
"Election always has more or less effect on trade, but never before has interest been so marked in the course of the state campaign as it is this year. Businessmen are taking more active interest in local politics than has been the custom in the past, and it is thus that business has been more or less affected from this source.
"Locally, the bond proposition is creating much argument pro and con. The importance of the same should not be underestimated."

The exports for twenty-four hours from Atlantic ports amounted in wheat and flour to 383,000 bu, business toward the end of the session was a shadow easier than earlier in the day and the increased trading was at the expense of the bulls, December ruling about 52.4c about fifteen minutes from the end. The very light business enabled local short sellers who have all the money in the trade to stick the spot still deeper into the bulls' flanks and get the price down another % c. December sold at 52c and closed at that. May, which opened at 57.5c, declined and closed at 53c. Corn was a shade weaker on an average for May, but much firmer for October and December. The latter feature was the only noticeable one in the day's transactions. This week's local movement has resulted in an estimated lessening of elevator stocks to the extent of 150,000 bu, and the stock taken on Monday is not likely to show more than about 400,000 bu. of No. 2 corn in Chicago. Today's receipts were 169 cars, and with withdrawals from stores, 131,001 bu. New York reported six boatloads sold there today for export. Liverpool was another 1.5 per cent higher for October. The Chicago holders of October options in Liverpool appear to be having things all their own way. Estimated receipts here for Monday are 200 cars. October opened at 50c and closed at 60c; December, which closed yesterday at 48.5c, opened at 48c and gradually worked upward until it reached 43.5c, then settled from that to 43.5c at the close. May opened and closed at 43c, selling as low as 43c in between. The oats market was quite active at intervals during the session, and altogether a fair business was transacted. It was thought that the liquidation of long oats is now about over and also that the shorts have quite fully covered. An easier feeling prevailed and prices closed under yesterday's last quotations. May at 32c, sellers. At the start it sold at 32.5c, later up to from 324c to 32.5c and down to from 31c to 314c. The provision market improved slightly, due to some little covering of shorts and a halt in the selling pressure. Hog receipts were 14,000 head and 10,000 head are estimated for Monday. Speculative trading was light and prices at their close showed an improvement of 1.5c in pork and 2.5c in lard and ribs. The latest quotations were $11.70 sellers for January pork, $6.70 bid for January, $3.50 for January ribs. Tile leading futures ranged as follows: Articles. Open. High. Low. Close, Oct. 55c.

Minneapolis estimates 1,000,000 increase in visible stocks there. The visible supply will probably increase 1,500,000 last year, the increase was 2,300,000. Beerbohm's London cable reports Careco: "off coast, wheat, firm; corn, nothing offering. On passage and for shipment, wheat and corn firm. Weather in England, "still wet." Elmendorf & Water bought 100 tons of Roumanian wheat at $13.73 per ton to Philadelphia. They received a second order for the same quantity, but could not fill it. OMAHA EXCHANGE: Condition of Trade and Quotations on "simple" and "fun of produce."
The receipts of butter last week were considerably fuller than those of the previous week, and the market continues dull and prices are weak. Complaints are made that country shippers are sending a good deal of butter direct to the retail trade and that the retail houses are receiving more than they can use and are selling the balance at very low prices, which helps to weaken the general market. The demand is light along the line, and receivers find it no easy matter to keep the arrivals cleaned up. Some of the packers have lowered their prices, which would indicate a very weak feeling among the trade. The exports of butter for the year thus far have been a little in excess of last year's, which is of some help in keeping eastern markets clear and in a healthy condition. The imports of butter into the United Kingdom during the first nine months of the year, according to Board of Trade returns, were as follows:
1892 1893 1891
Denmark 854,113 721,111 698,17
Germany 415,311 101,13
Holland 111,311 111,7
Prussia 300,35 327,70 107,3
Canada 26,94 27,133 27,183
United States 21,434 23,7
Other countries 31,571 18,401 22,328
The reports of trade during the past six weeks are even less than for the previous week. Strictly fresh-laid eggs are in light receipt and good demand though the market is 30 lower than it was a year ago at this time. The great bulk of the eggs that are offered on the market now are cold storage stocks. It is reported that Omaha houses are through emptying their cold storage stock and that supplies in this city will soon be exhausted. There are, however, plenty of such stocks that can be shipped in, so that there is no danger of the supply of cold storage eggs running out. The percentage of grains in storage in Omaha this year was unexpectedly small and holdings have been unloading rapidly.
The poultry market has been weak and low for some little while under the influence of large receipts and a moderate demand. As a result of that fact there has been any very important feature to the trade. Dutch appear to be draining in volume with consumers in the weather from corn, sorghum, and turkeys have been in larger supply and have been inclined to lower prices. During the early part of the week, there was a good deal of game received in poor condition owing to the warm weather, but toward the close of the week the weather became more favorable. The receipts have been liberal and the shipping demand has been strong; the local demand is light, but dealers have no difficulty in disposing of their game, which is sent to shippers.
Under the influence of cold weather, the vegetable market recovered somewhat toward the close of the week, and the isolation has been a little stronger. At the present time the market is dependent upon the weather for support. Dealers in hay claim that severe weather would send the market on that commodity upward, but just at present it is all that the market can do to hold its own.
In reviewing the situation in the cheese market, the New York Producer Price Current says that we have to go back several years in the history of the trade to find a parallel to the present market. Usually at this time of the year we have fairly active trading on a home account, jobbers securing stock of the fine quality grades, and exporters buying just enough to give support to the market. But these conditions seem to be entirely changed. Export interest is very small, and our home jobbers have shown no disposition to stock up, evidently believing that a progressive, hand-to-mouth policy would give the best results. Receipts have been light for several weeks, but we have still had some surplus stock, and there has been a gradual shrinkage in values on all lines excepting in large part this week has been dull and the market became so heavy to hold.
Most of the primary markets have sent their orders to Canada, where prices have been equally as low as they were here and freights from Montreal much cheaper. The small orders that have come to us this week were filled without making much hole in the offerings, and considerable quantity of stock would have been carried over but for the fact that local delinquents were affected by the recently low prices named and bought up quite a good many lots.
The Chicago Herald says that a majority of the dailies still let their offices run out nights, but that funds are in fairly good condition, so that the hauling of milk is not such a great hardship as it is in the summer time. But the yield is so small that many of the dairy factories are preparing to close about the 1st of November, after which time the making of cheese will be materially curtailed. We doubt if as many prime cheeses have been made this fall as last, and therefore the prices of both butter and cheese are much lower. It is not the profit in that business that then was a year ago. About the usual proportions of small-sized cheeses have been made during October, but it is doubtful if the prices will be sufficient to reimburse makers for the extra trouble and expense.
The following will show the receipts for the trading lines of country produce for the weeks ending on dates at the head of columns, eggs being represented in cases, poultry in barrels, butter in packages, and potatoes in barrels:

Potatoes 693 698 633 633
HAY Upland hay, Virginia midland, lowland, rye straw, Oats bring the price up. Light seed styles sell the best. On top grades bring higher prices. The receipts of potatoes during the past week have been the largest ever seen this season. There has been excellent weather, resulting in very good conditions. The result has been weak. Sweet potatoes are in abundant supply. A good many sweet potatoes are being billed out on orders from the customer. Some of the home-grown brown sweet potatoes are small and about the size of regular potatoes. There are others that are larger and of better quality, being well-grown from seed grown in other states. These potatoes are sold frequently for stoves. There are some genuine Jersey sweet potatoes in the market, and they are the best in quality, but cost a little more than the common varieties.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
Coal Shrugging Off Attraction to Attention in This Week's Speculation on the Stock Exchange Today.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27. Interest in speculation on the Stock Exchange today was entered almost entirely in the coal shares which were subjected to heavy pressures in continuation of the bear campaign against this group. The selling in New Jersey Central was heaviest, but Delaware, Lackawanna & Western made the greatest decline, while Reading was comparatively well held. Board room transactions were very bearish, indeed, on New Jersey Central, the decrease in earnings, compared with last year, being pointed out in a reason for bringing the stock down to a lower level. The decline in the shares began right at the opening and continued to near the close, at which time Lackawanna had lost 14 percent, Delaware & Hudson 2½ percent, and New Jersey Central 4 percent, leading advanced 8½ percent, lost the improvement and rallied 14 percent. Recoveies were made in the finals. Lackawanna, 4 percent in New Jersey Central, leaving the losses on the day from 4 to 4½ percent, respectively.
The general market opened dull and fairly steady, but the depression in the coal stocks was quickly communicated to the others on the list and prices sagged off. Northwestern was raided by the shorts and gave way 7½ percent, closing within 7½ percent of the lowest. The break in Northwest was accompanied by rumors that a scaling of dividend rates would have to be made, owing to decreased earnings, which were, however, semi-officially denied. The movement in the other grangers was traffic, a loss of 1½ percent being made in each to yesterday's closing: Louisville & Nashville was sold by London and the coal traders and declined 1½ percent, without a rally. Richmond Coal lost 1½ percent and the general list ½ to ¾ percent, except a few stocks, which made gains of 4 to 1½ percent.
The bank statement was regarded as unfavorable as reflecting a congested money market and a contraction of business and share speculation was somewhat weakened thereby and closed heavy. The past week has been one of the dullest in the history of the Stock Exchange, the total transactions for the week being 132,000 shares, which amount of business is only equivalent to a single day's work under normal conditions. In the first half of the week speculation was stagnant, but for the past two days a bear demonstration against the coal stocks has imparted interest to the market, with very few exceptions; the stocks dealt in showing losses on the week.
The bond market was generally firm, except in the final dealings, when there were structural recessions in sympathy with the week's weakness in the share market. The transactions aggregated 670,000.
As a result of the trading, fractional declines were established in most of the issues dealt in, while advances were made of 11 percent in Wisconsin Central and 1 percent in Alton & Terre Haute divisional bonds. The bond market during the week has been in the main firm, in contrast with the share speculation, the trading being fairly active, the total sales reaching the figure of $5,183,000. Prices at the close were generally higher than those of the Saturday preceding.

The principal feature about the cattle market this week has been its monotonous steadiness. Receipts have been of the same general character from day to day, the demand has not changed materially and prices have been pretty much in the same notches, Very few choice cattle, either natives or westerns, have been received, but such have brought good, stiff figures, showing an active demand and a strong market for anything of that kind. Choice 1,430-lb cooked natives sold up to $535, and the top for choice 1,320-lb ranges was $536. On the common half fat stock, the market ruled dull and weak from one end of the week to the other, and about all that can be said of the past few days' business is that good stock is slightly stronger and common stuff slightly weaker than it was on last Friday.
Today's supply was rather light, even for the last day of the week. However, 62 loads were received, and these were heavily cows and feeders. There was the usual active demand for desirable beef stock, and on that which answered that description here the market ruled active and strong. A bunch of choice, fat native yearlings sold for $151, and some very fair 1,381-lb westerns brought $164. Common stuff was more or less neglected, but prices were not generally lower. There was a fair undertone of strength to the trade and an early clearance was made.
The cow market was about like the market for fat cattle. Medium to choice cows and heifers, both natives and rangers, sold readily at good steady prices, but on account of a lack of outside competition dinners were slow sellers and at very low prices. That was about the condition of the trade today. There has been an active demand all week for healthy calves and they sold strong today. Much to 75c better than a week ago. The market for bulls, stags, and rough stock generally has been rather dull, but prices have not suffered materially.
The Stocker and feeder trade has not been in a very satisfactory condition. Receipts have been rather liberal and as the demand has not been particularly urgent from any quarter the movement has lacked life, although the volume has been large. Good feathery stock continues in the best demand, as it will not take too much corn to get them in marketable condition. Smooth, well-bred cattle also command some attention and fairly good prices, but the cattle between these grades are in excessive supply and are a drug on the market. The bulk of the trading today was at around $340 to $270. Here are the present figures for sales:

HOGS The market has gone steadily from
bad to warmer this week, prices declining about
23o In the past nine days. Everything apparently
has favored the decline. Receipts both here and
everywhere have been liberal enough to encourage
lower prices, but the most bearish feature has
been the dullness and weakness in the provision
trade. From a speculative and investment
standpoint the trade has been in very bad
condition. Prices have been going lower right along;
and hog values have not kept pace. On the
basis of present prices of hogs and provisions,
packers are losing 15c to 25c per head on the
hogs they are buying. So that the fresh meat
trade is receiving more attention at the hogs'
than at the regular packers'. Packers have been
pronounced bears all over, insisting that hogs must
get lower or provisions get lighter. Although there is
not a marked improvement in the quality of the
offerings as compared with a month ago, there
has been considerable poor light stuff marketed
lately that has served to bring down the average.
Receipts today were rather more lively than
expected, the feature being a train load that
Hammond bought at Sioux City Friday, where
they were cheaper than here. With no outside
support and bad reports from both hogs and
provisions at Chicago, panickers started in to
hammer out another decline and were successful
to the extent of 5c to 10c. They bought the
medium weight and heavy hogs mostly at $1.40
and $1.45, with several of the best at $1.80. The
light and light mixed loads sold largely at
$14.23 and $14.35, with some down to $13. There
was a very fair inquiry for "dressed berries" pigs
and block hogs at from $13.23 to $13.20, but poor
ft ) Ib stuff sold down as low as $12. There was
not much change in the market from the opening
to the close and the pens were cleared early,
with the bulk of the trading being at from $14.35 to
$14.43, as against $14.45 to $14.50 on Friday and
$14.50 to $15 on one week ago. Satisfactory sales
were made on common and storage sheep at about
$1.73; good and choice at $1.90-$2.00, lambs at
$1.90.

inspired at 1,500 head, making a total
almost 4,500 head less than for last week
and 2,500 less than for the opening week last year.
For a falcon there were more than the usual
demand for cattle, and, while nothing sold markedly higher,
the feeding was firm. Natives were in demand at from $41
to $50; for poor to common, western at from $11
to $15 and Texans at from $13 to $23. As in most instances,
the live steers were rather lower today
than the closing prices made further sales
Hogs sold earlier, with stock bringing strong
prices, and those selling after that hour
simply reached very low levels. Trading was
early and dull later, but prices were
not sufficiently low to carry over any considerable number.
The demand for poor to prime
cattle was from $13.25 to $14.73,
with miles at from $14.40 to $14.60,
Lights were sold at from $12 to $13,
selling Sterling from $143 to $14.50.
Receipts were established at 6,500 head,
making a total for this week of 30,000,
which is 33,000 fewer than for last week
and 26,000 less than for the opening week last year.
The market was quite and firm at from $5 to $3
for good to choice and from 75c to $2.50 for
poor in fair. The lamb market was steady from
$1.50 to $14, according to quality.
Receipts - Cattle, 1,000 in all; sheep, 300 head;
hogs, 14,000; total, 15,000.

for the week, 38,507 head, against 41,847
head last year. Philadelphia shipments for the week,
35,823 head, an increase of 2,836 over last year.
In all, actually not so good; very few choice
came on market: merchants' opening was active but steady,
but soon was dull, and prices were steady.
Corn opened at $20 to $30 for light, $341 to $14.40
for light mixed, $15.10 for tough packing, $15.15
to $25 for mixed, and $4 for poor.

HAYS, SUGAR. How often you hear someone say: "Oh, he's a millionaire, no wonder he can make money fast." An op with a million can make another million easily enough. Money makes money. Hypotessibility nets like a strong magnet to attract more money, it's volatile to make a million with a million than to make a hundred. It's the first thousand that's the hardest to get. But no millionaires started with nothing. You can succeed as they have. You take advantage of every opportunity, you buy low and sell high in the art of every trader, no matter whether the article dealt in be cattle, horses, grain, wheat, bonds or stocks. Speculation is the life of trade and the source of vast fortunes. Trading in stocks and grain pays bigger than trading in anything else. There is always a buyer ready. The market is constantly changing. Deals are easily made. You can invest and re-invest your money many times a day, realizing small, but frequent profits in every trade. And these profits, aggregated a large sum. Our plan puts you on the same basis as a millionaire. We take your money from $1000 and put it with the money of 1,000 others. We have a million to operate with. We make money quickly and safely.
Here is the profit we have paid our customers since January, 1894:
January, 12% per cent June, 7 1/2% per cent
February, 11% per cent July, 5% per cent
March, 9% per cent August, 5% per cent
April, 8% per cent September, 7 1/2% per cent
May, 8% per cent October, 5% per cent
Making a total of 17 3/4% per cent in 200 days.
A sum which in similar dry goods would require fifty years in earning, or in owning real estate would take fifteen years to earn.
Our charge for making this profit for our customers is one-tenth of their net profit.
We have never lost a dollar for any customer in any of our combinations.
We have not a dissatisfied customer;
Money can be withdrawn at any time.

The Chinese government Is greatly alarmed
over the rebellion that Is being fomented
In nearly every Elate of the empire. The
Peking Gazette Is full of the reports of the
arrest of members of the Koloa Hul society ,
and executions are taking place In many
of the cities. It Is. now death to belong to
this society , and the heads of the members
are hung up outslda of the cities as a warn
ing to others. Notwithstanding this , the or
ganlzatlon steadily Increases , and It Is being
recruited from the dlssafTected soldiers and
others of the empire. It Is said to have
had Us origin among the soldiers of the
Hunan province , which is one of the most
rebellious of the Chinese states. The Hunan
men are noted for their bravery , and htm
drc-ds of thousands of them were employed
In putting down the Kalplng rebellion. After
Iho war waa over numbers of them were
kept on In the retinues of the different vice
roys , and notably so by the viceroy of Nan
king , A few years ago an attempt was
made to dispense with their services , and
Eoiiie of the soldiers got together and or
ganlzcd this society. Dy others It la said to
have been founded about sixty years ago ,
but It undoubtedly had Its. great Impetus
through thesa'mcn at Nanking , and today
Ita membership runs well up Into the millions
and It has Its secret meetings In every city
of China. It Is. avowedly against the Manchu
government , and Its motto Is "China for the
Chinese. " Its members swear to bo falChfu
la the society under penalty of death , am
each society has Its executioner , and anj
member Is supposed lo commit murder a
( ho commands of the order. Members are
Inlllatctl by the drinking of hot wine mlxec
with the smoking blood of a cock which ii
killed at the time , and the ticket of member
ship Is a small card of linen , or calico
stamped with a few characters , two of whlcl
arc "China , " These cards are diligent ! )
looked for by the ofHclnls , and the man wh1
has ono upon him Is immediately arrested
the society numbers among Us members a
large number of army officials , and the grea
Viceroy of NunVlng. who died not long ago
was , for a tlmo , an actlvo member. U may
nave been tlila that made his capital the con
ler of their operations , but toward the Inttc
part of hU lifehe became lax In his supper
oC the society , and , It Is said , finally
obeyed Its order v Within a weak of till
tlmo ho died very suddenly , and It Is cur
rently believed that he wa poisoned. Th
next viceroy played fast and loose with th
society , and It la said that his action w&s , t
a certain , extent , tha cauie of tlio riots ugalna
the mlislonarlcs In 1691.
A LlTTI.fi HBHELLTON.
I HAS told it Nanking that this fc cret so
ctety hail threatened the viceroy that If mor
motley was not paid to that toldlerl the
would cause him trouble by mobbing th
foreigners. Shortly ifter this the "Devil'
Picture Gallery" wws Issued. ThU was. mad
up nf vile cartoons charging the mlsilon
nrlei and foreigners with killing Chinese bit
bits , with Inveigling girl * into their hotire
ami cutting off their breasts for medicine
it 4llng tiif / cl 4tid and lly
hlnameti and using them as photographic
mUterlal. Millions olt these cartoons were
Irculatfd , and the people \vere urged to
rlvo the foreigners from the country. This
ausod the viceroy of Nanking and the censu
ral government a great deal of trouble , and
hey had to pay a heavy indemnity. This
pring an organized rebellion broke out near
anton , and the soldiers were fighting there
t the time that the Japanese came Into
! orea. The- recent troubles In the Shantung
rovlnce , where the people refused to reor
pond to the call for troops , was backed up
y the Koloa Hul , and there Is a large branch
f the organization in Manchuria , and It exw
st In great strength in north China. H Is
o organized that In case of the fall of Peking
simultaneous rebellion would be brought to
lie front In nearly every state In China , and
he government might fall at one blow.
It Is hard to understand much about the
resent trouble without knowing something
f the different Chinese states. The country
divided up Into eighteen provinces , and
hero may be eald to be almost eighteen
Ifferent peoples under eighteen different
liters , more or less firmly bound together
indor ' the ono Peking government. The
om'mon people of many of these states do
not understand each other. The coolie of
lunan could hardly make his way In
'eking , and the Cantonese provinces have a
[ Iff ere nt dialect from those In the western
) arts of the empire. The province of Yun-
lan U said to have twenty different dialects ,
and tha pooplp , while they care a great dealer
or their own homes'nnd ' 'for their , families ,
mvo no Interest In the government and sup-
lort It only as a necessary evil. The family
nnd the clan form the basla of Chinese so
ciety. A great number of the punishments
o ( the empire are inflicted by the- family ,
and most disputes are settled without re
course ' to the courts. Family ties are closer
'n China than anywhere else in tha world ,
If a man makes a fortune his forty-second
cousins from all parts of the empire swoop
town upon him , and he has to support and
tolp them. If a man gets a position ha is
supposed to take his own family In first In
he choosing oC the subordinates , and nepo-
tsm reigns supreme.
THE JAY GOULD OF CHINA.
I mot , while I was In Canton , the Jay Gould
of China. His name Is How Qua , and he Is
worth $30,000,000. He was keeplngUOO rcla-
Ives , and his sisters and his cousins and his
aunts to the third and fourth generation
were sucking Iho life blood out of his big
income. Ho was , I Judge , about 40 years
old , and as an Instance of how strong family
authority In , he obeys his mother today In all
matters of society obligations , nnd upon
oelng asked by Consul Seymour to dinner not
long ago he replied :
"I don't know whether I can go or not. I
must first go and ask my mamma. "
I afterward met his mamma. She was a.n
old lady , whoso eyes shone as brightly as
the diamonds which decorated her cap and
whoso feet were no bigger than the fists oi
A baby. She ruled the whole 400 of How
Qua's relatives , orjd she was probably the
head of the How Qua clan.
These clans of China are very much like
those of Scotland. Every family keeps Its
pedigree , and the reason why the Chinese
want lo be carried to their own country Is
that they will bo burled with their families.
The clan * have their feuds. Just like some of
the mountain families of Kentucky , and they
lay for i-ach other with bows and guns.
Kvory family has Its ancestral hall In the
town or village near where It lives , where
all fie different members of the family meet
and worship their.ancestors. The members
of a clan combine together to punish those
who hnvo Injured the family , anil there are
said to be families who make , a business of
blackmailing and stealing. There are in al
China about 400 clans , and the 400,000,000 or
600,000,000 which make up the Chinese pee
ple belong to these.
THE KOLOA HUL
The becret societies are run , however , In
dependent of the clans , and the Koloa Hul li
only one of a large- number of them. Thi
oldest toclety In China Is the Triad society
known as the Sam Hop Wul. This Is aji
ro have been the cause of the Talplug re
bellton , Which lasted for years , and cos
China 10.000,000 lives. It cprang up In th
south and spread all over the empire , and had
It not been for Chtneie Gordon and Li Hung
Chang the Tartar dynasty would certain ) :
hive been overthrown. The head of thlc re
belllon was a. Chinaman who gave- out tha
ho wa the younger brother of J u ChrUt
and had been sent to this world to reforn
Ctilca , The Triad coclety ha * It lodges
nd there are flags , banners and umbrellas
onnected with It. It holds Its regular in'eet-
ngs , and it forces members to join Its or
ganization If they are net amenable to per-
uaslon. It has the power of life and death
ver Its members , and the members mix
heir own blood with \vlno and swear to up-
he old the order to the death. Among the
lunlshmcnts for treason to the order Is the
laving the ears chopped oft or the head cut
of , and the dlvulgence ol the secrets of the
rder Is death. The. members have their own
Igns and passwords. You can tell. It Is said ,
vhether a man belongs to the order by the
way , he enters the house , and \ am told that
hey stop a moment nt the door and put the
eft foot first. In sitting down they point
heir toes together and keep the heels apart ,
nd they have a way of raising their trousers'
egs which is known , only to the brethren.
They are bound to help any of the order
vho get Into trouble , nnd they have secret
tl Igns by which they can mark their houses
so that their families will escape In case of
evolution. At dinner the arrangement ofc
ho cups on the table allows their callers
who belong to the order to know that they
are members , and there are a. thousand little
.hlngs which no one clso would notice which
liable them to recognize each other.
The Triad society and Koloa Hul are very
much like the highbinders of San Francisco.
They swear to defend each other against the
police , to lildo each others crimes , and they
are ready to kill for the sake of the order
at the command of its leaders. Their main
grievance Is against the government , and they
tavo published manifestos against It , and are
doing so now , Some of the chiefs of the ordr
are said to be traveling around the country
as doctors , and they are carrying the news
of the Chinese defeats , and are gathering In
members wherever they go. Their motto Is
"Drive out the Tartar , " and It Is said that
one branch of the Triad society dates back
to 1664 A. D. , or twenty years after the con
quest. They have been working to overthrow
the government ever since , and they have a
jreat hatred of anything which Is not purely
Chinese. H Is safe to say of the hundreds of
millions In China that otilslde of the govern
ment officials there are not 100,000 Chinese
who would fight for the emperor. They keep
tilm because they must have a. ruler of some
kind , but they know he Is a Tartar , and
they hate him. In every Chinese state capi
tal there Is a Manchu army as well as a
Chinese army , and the Tartars are neither ad
mired nor IpvoJ. The emperor. In fact , IB
like Humpty Dumpty. lie sits on the wall ,
and if he should fall , all of his horses and
all of his men could never put Humpty
Uumpty up again.
A LOW TAX RATE.
It will be surprising to many Americans to
know how cheaply the government of Clflna
Is run. Taxes are lowej perhaps than In any
other Beml-clvlllzed cduntry1 on the globe.
Tha principal source of revenue Is the land
tax , anil this varies from 10 to 66 cents on
acre , The emperor nominally owns all the
land , but In reality the people have as much
of a right to their farms as wo have , and they
buy and Bell their real estate , giving ? deeds
for the same. I took a photograph of e
Chinese deed , by which a missionary had
bought bomo land at Nanking , and which hp
wan carrying to Shanghai to be recorded at
the American consulate , during my trip with
him down the Yangtse-Klang. It vrai as
big as four pages of this newspaper , and was
covered with stamps. China pays no tax on
liquors , and it Is said that the taxes do nbt
amount to 7B cent * per head of the popula.
tlon. A largo part of the revenue Is col
lected from the taxingof salt , and there are
Import and export taxes collected on goods
passing up and down the river * . 1 saw cus
toms boats everywhere , and the river police
Is quite extensive. The people understand
very well Juat how much taxes they oughi
to pay. They are thoroughly organized , ant
any radical Increase , such aa must come-
from the present war with Japan , which Is
probably costing them 11,000,000 , a day. Is al
most certain to create a revolution. I have
seen different estimate * of the revenues got
ten by the empire of China , pud. In no cao
have the amounts turned Into the genera
government been greater than $150,000,000 a
year. ThU would baa small amount in com
parlson with the- Indemnity that Japan wll -
probably demand If she Is victorious In thli
war , and the Chlneie emperor has , Indeed , a
thorny road before him.
The greatest danger arises In the character
of the Chinese u regards coclal and labor
tfK
combinations. The Rovirnmcnt Is perhaps
the only disorganized part oC the country ,
very city , every state and almost every
province Is packed full of different unions ,
and all branches of Industry are banded to
gether. Our labor unions are nothing In
comparison with those of China , and the
government has to bow down to them. The
larbers united some years ago and made the
emperor come to terms In regard to the
lubllc examinations for their children. They
lad before this belonged to a rather despised
class. They stand now as high as any other
people in the empire. One of the features
if barbering In China Is ear-cleaning. Bach
barber has tweezers with which he pulls
Ittle hairs out of your ears , or trims Hum
to suit. The Chinese like to have the backs
of their shoulders and necks kneaded after
.hey are shaved. This takes a good deal of
: lme , nnd the barbers concluded that it kept
them too busy during the holidays. The
union called Its members together all over
.ho empire. They passed a law which makes
t Impossible for you to get your cars cleaned
during six certain days of the year. LI
Hung Chang Is great enough to slap the
cheeks of the Chinese cfllclala who call upon
liim. Ho makes his generals-get down on
their knees , and If the emperor does not
take away hid big cloth boots he will con
tinue to kick them out of the room. He
would not dare , however , to do anything
against the union of the wheelbarrow coolies ,
and he has stopped some of his greatest Im
provement ) : after they have cost him hun
dreds of thousands of dollars because certain
of the trades unions objected. These wheel
barrow men arc. In fact , one of the strong
organizations of China and they are ono of
the great obstacles In the way of railroad
building.
BANKERS GUILD.
The bankers of China have a guild , nnd It
depends very much upon them whether the
government is supplied with money for the
war. There are nearly 1,000 hanks In the
Uvo cities of Shanghai and Tlen-Tsln , and
their members all work together. They have
their connections with other banks of the
empire , and they fix the rates of Interest and
regulate exchange. The tea merchants have
a guild , and there are silk gul.ds and all corti
of manufacturers unions.
These unions are very rigid as to their own
men and they have waged war against
modern machinery. In some Instances they
have killed employers who have acted con
trary to their wishes , and a horrible case
occurred at Shanghai B few years ago , where
an employer tried to1 < lefy the' union. He
yi warned , but ho-relused to accede to tha
clerrnmla of the m n. and they concluded to
make an example ofjJilm. Ho had mote
tlian 100 men In thlfeishop. These were
pment when he enlordd one morning , and
at a concerted signal Itley sprang upon him
and commenced bUlnjr him. They had a
leader and this lodtrfnvould not let one of
the men go away cfrtan the place without
showing his tee.th. lllflhla teeth and gums
were bloody he wasjipormltted to go out ,
otherwise he was seiltiiack nod told to take
a blto. The plot nisiBOtten up on the basis
that there Is no capltalipunlshment In China
for biting. The employer was bitten to
death , and the in it tor1 finally came to the
ears of the government. It made a great
fuss on paper and fiibiltheil memorials con
cerning It , but onhXHhe man who took the
first bite was punlsb4iuind the union gained
Its end.

rluirnt u Characteristic.
Tha love of home la found In almost
every nation , but perhaps It Is nowhere so
strong as wltli the Germans. The longing
for the old home follows them everywhere ,
While the Englishman taken hla home with
him Into the most distant lands his house
being everywhere an English home the
German easily loses hla national customs.
He la more Inclined to adapt himself to the
new surroundings , but the love for the old
home remains , the recollection of the father-
house , be It ever so small , keeps alive In his
heart. Foreign nations have recognized this
In using the ivord "fatherland" especially for
the German's country. Truly the Swiss will
not miss his glaciers , more than the native
of the March of Brandenburg his sandy
heath with the dark lining of flnvood In
the horizon. Already the old Germans iiung
with tenacity to the Inherited piece of land
which they defended to the utmost against
their enemies. In this homo the woman ,
even before she was raised and ennobled by
Christianity , held a prominent place. We
now read with pride the testimony given by
the Iloman historian Tacitus to the strict
morality of the old Germans. Also today
the happiness of the home is chiefly depend
ent , upon the woman. The letters recently
published of Moltke and Bismarck show how
much the development of these two great
Germans Is due to the Influence of their
mothers , Whoever Is acquainted with the

THE HOME AND FAMILY.
Work U the leading element In the Hie of
the man In Germany. Men without profe *
tlon are a rare exception. Their vocation
a > officials , offlcen , protestors , etc. , natur
ally takes up the greater part of the r life.
The firtt question one pu's about a man In
Germany Is "What U he ? " Even men ol
means , who would perhaps in other coun
rles bo satisfied with the position their
wealth " grants them and consider the spend-
"ng of their money as a sufficient occupa-
Ion , seek an employment of some kind In
he service of the country In order to secure
a position , because a man who U "nothing"
s not sufficiently honored. Therefore not
only the management of the household , but
also the education of the children faJIs to
lie lot of the woman. It has been said
'While the English woman Is above "all
.hlngs wife and helpmate of her husband. ,
he i German woman Is the first of ul'l
mother. " Nevertheless unhappy marriages
are fortunately rare- , and divorce , though
rendered very easy by our laws , which bear
the . lax character of the last century , Is not
particularly frequent. Hits Is. due to the
circumstance that marriages are chiefly con-
itn racted by mutual affection. Of course a
number of marriages are settled In Ger-
nany as elsewhere for the sake of money ,
jut It would then not be openly avowed.
While , for Instance , In France It la more
generally , recognized that parents choose
suitable husbands and wives for their chil
dren , the principle In Germany Is that the
young people eeok each other after the In-
illnatlon of thiir hearts. Already the en
gagement Is considered serious and binding
The relations between unmarried young
men and women are somewhat restricted
' In liberty and bound to certain forms. The
young woman Is considered to find her chief
duties In the house as help to her mother ,
as sympathizing friend to her brothers home
for the holidays , and ao her father's bright
and Intelligent companion , sweetening hla
leisure hours.
But wo now live In a time of transition ,
and now Ideas are. making way which open a
larger activity to tlio fair sex. Deaconesses
Institutions , which exercise their beneficial
Influences all over Germany and be
yond her frontiers for now fifty years , give
unmarried women a noble calling to nurse
the slcl < , to visit the poor and to bring to
both the glad tidings of the gospel. Wo
find all classes of society represented In
these Institutions. Higher schools for girls
and seminaries for female- teachers also pre
pare women for a larger activity , and quite
recently a number or Influential men have
started a "gymnasium , " us no here term the
upper schools , where Latin and Greek Is
taught preparatory to the unlvers ty for
young women The admlsdon of the latter to
our universities Is only a question of time.
Yet according to German ideas all these
things are only meant for the number or
unmarred women who have no home and
are obliged to earn their bread. The home
is always considered the woman's chief place.
Wa have now , thank God , a number of
ladles who da voluntary mission work , but
this should never Interfere with the home
duties. The Influence which the woman ex *
erodes on the nation by the training of Its
future members as mother Is considered to be
not only her chief duty , but one so grand
and Important that It la well worth dedicating
a life to it. One of our great German
writers says"I am glad that I had a
mother who was not one of the modern
ladles who srck their activity In a number
of associations out of the house , but who
belonged to me and watched anxiously over
my childhood. " There may be just n little
narrowness in this view of a woman's duty ,
but It would be shortsighted not to recog
nize Its lofty side , and we hope that the
progress of time will not quite do away with
the good old tradition ,
MUSIC IN THE : HOME.
Music has a great place In the German
home. There U hardly a home where not
one member at least Ii endowed with this
gift. The grtateit musters of music were
Germans. How attractive l tlio simple
German song , how deeply moving the Ger
man hymn ( "choral" ) . The gift of singing
Is widely spread In our noUon , and excel
lent conservatories , which are alio an at
traction for foreigners , cultivate this art for
church nnd home , A favorite recreation
of the German la lo ill with his family In
the open air at teen at the summer weather
permits It. In the large towns every email
bit of garden IK carefully cultivated one
often sees families lifting together on the
balcony ; and when lime allows the father
likes to take hli whole family with him on U
an excursion , ami to ill with them In
publ.'a gardim Ililenlng to music.
On the whole , society Is tlmple. In old
times a very good example was given In Uili of
respect by our lorrrolgii * . How simple were
the parties given by the Klngi Frederick
William III. and IV , of Prussia ; hardly a c
much WAS given si would now be placed
on the table ol a nobleman , not to sptalt of
a rich man of business. Our klnga liked to-
draw eminent men , poets , writers , artists ,
to ihelr table , and the Intellectual part cf
society MOB the prominent ono. This Is also.
hanging now under the Influence of tho-
: lrnc. < . We tee In many houses a society
uhich Is more an unpleasunt duty than a ,
recreation. Large dinners nnd suppers.
often exceed the means of thosa who giv *
hem , but nobody likes to remain behind
frla friends and colleagues , and so many
people rather renounce part of the domestic
comfort than forego these Invltntlo-is , which
they consider as a social duty springing-
Irom their position In life. Hut even If
jnaterlallsm has Increased In tills respect ,
literature and science and Intellectual con
versation still hold a large pait of German.
society. Many wish to shine by knowledge )
and wit , and the tendency to defend one's
own opinion Is perhaps one of the aides of the *
German character which docs not always
make It popular to strangers.
THE FAMILY TIB 13 SACRGD.
The family tie Is sacred In Germany , on *
extends also to the larger family. Members.
of the same name ,
especially
among tho-
nobility , meet from tlmo to times for confer
ences ( Famllcntag ) , and have generally
friends to assist the poorer members of tlio-
family. The German Is sure to find an open
hand and hoiiso wherever he
meets
even a.
dlstnnt relative.

Koloa Mall Secret Society Which Can Not Be the Alls-
Flower Idols of 1801 Trial Society
Unite Its Millions The July
Would of the Empire.
(Copyrighted, 1891, by Frank C. Carpenter.)
The Chinese government is greatly alarmed over the rebellion that is being fomented in nearly every state of the empire. The Peking Gazette is full of the reports of the arrest of members of the Koloa Hui society, and executions are taking place in many of the cities. It is now death to belong to this society, and the heads of the members are hung up outside of the cities as a warning to others. Notwithstanding this, the organization steadily increases, and it is being recruited from the discontented soldiers and others of the empire. It is said to have had its origin among the soldiers of the Hunan province, which is one of the most rebellious of the Chinese states. The Hunan men are noted for their bravery, and hundreds of thousands of them were employed in putting down the Kangle rebellion. After the war was over numbers of them were kept on in the retinues of the different viceroys, and notably so by the viceroy of Nanjing. A few years ago an attempt was made to dispense with their services, and some of the soldiers got together and organized this society. By others it is said to have been founded about sixty years ago, but it undoubtedly had its great impetus through the same at Nanjing, and today its membership runs well up into the millions and it has its secret meetings in every city of China. It is, avowedly against the Manchu government, and its motto is "China for the Chinese." Its members swear to be faithful to the society under penalty of death, and each society has its executioner, and any member is supposed to commit murder as he commands of the order. Members are initiated by the drinking of hot wine mixed with the smoking blood of a cock which is killed at the time, and the ticket of membership is a small card of linen, or calico stamped with a few characters, two of which are "China," These cards are diligently looked for by the officials, and the man who has one upon him is immediately arrested by the society. Among its members a large number of army officials, and the great viceroy of Nanjing, who died not long ago, was, for a time, an active member. It may have been this that made his capital the center of their operations, but toward the latter part of his life he became lax in his support of the society, and, it is said, finally obeyed its order within a week of that time he died very suddenly, and it is currently believed that he was poisoned. The next viceroy played fast and loose with the society, and it is said that his actions were, to a certain extent, the cause of the riots against the missionaries in 1691.
A LITTLE SHELLINGTON.
I have told Nanking that this secret society had threatened the viceroy that if more money was not paid to the storyteller, the society would cause him trouble by mobbing the foreigners. Shortly after this, the "Devil's Picture Gallery" was issued. This was made up of vile cartoons charging the missionaries and foreigners with killing Chinese babies, with luring girls into their homes and cutting off their breasts for medicine, burning Chinese bodies and using them as photographic material. Millions of these cartoons were circulated, and the people were urged to drive the foreigners from the country. This caused the viceroy of Nanking and the central government a great deal of trouble, and they had to pay a heavy indemnity. This spring, an organized rebellion broke out near Canton, and the soldiers were fighting there at the time that the Japanese came into Korea. The recent troubles in the Shantung province, where the people refused to respond to the call for troops, was backed up by the Koloa Club, and there is a large branch of the organization in Manchuria, and it exists in great strength in north China. It is organized that in case of the fall of Peking, simultaneous rebellion would be brought to the front in nearly every state in China, and the government might fall at one blow.
It is hard to understand much about the recent trouble without knowing something about the different Chinese states. The country is divided up into eighteen provinces, and there may be said to be almost eighteen different peoples under eighteen different rulers, more or less firmly bound together under the one Peking government. The common people of many of these states do not understand each other. The coolie of Hunan could hardly make his way in Peking, and the Cantonese provinces have a different dialect from those in the western parts of the empire. The province of Yunnan is said to have twenty different dialects, and the people, while they care a great deal for their own homes and their families, have no interest in the government and support it only as a necessary evil. The family and the clan form the basis of Chinese society. A great number of the punishments of the empire are inflicted by the family, and most disputes are settled without recourse to the courts. Family ties are closer in China than anywhere else in the world. If a man makes a fortune, his forty-second cousins from all parts of the empire swoop down upon him, and he has to support and help them. If a man gets a position, he is supposed to take his own family in first in choosing the subordinates, and nepotism reigns supreme.
THE JAY GOULD OF CHINA.
I met, while I was in Canton, the Jay Gould of China. His name is How Qua, and he is worth $30,000,000. He was keeping 600 relatives, and his sisters and his cousins and his aunts to the third and fourth generation were sucking the lifeblood out of his big income. He was, I judge, about 40 years old, and as an instance of how strong family authority is, he obeys his mother today in all matters of society obligations, and upon being asked by Consul Seymour to dinner not long ago he replied:
"I don't know whether I can go or not. I must first go and ask my mamma."
I afterward met his mamma. She was an old lady, whose eyes shone as brightly as the diamonds which decorated her cap and whose feet were no bigger than the fists of a baby. She ruled the whole 400 of How Qua's relatives, or rather she was probably the head of the How Qua clan.
These clans of China are very much like those of Scotland. Every family keeps its pedigree, and the reason why the Chinese want to be carried to their own country is that they will be buried with their families. The clans have their feuds. Just like some of the mountain families of Kentucky, and they lay for each other with bows and guns. Every family has its ancestral hall in the town or village near where it lives, where all the different members of the family meet and worship their ancestors. The members of a clan combine together to punish those who have injured the family, and there are said to be families who make a business of blackmailing and stealing. There are in all China about 400 clans, and the 400,000,000 or 600,000,000 which make up the Chinese people belong to these.
THE KOLOA CLUB
The secret societies are run, however, independently of the clans, and the Koloa Club is only one of a large number of them. The oldest society in China is the Triad society known as the Sam Hop Wul. This has been the cause of the Taiping rebellion, which lasted for years, and cost China 10,000,000 lives. It sprung up in the south and spread all over the empire, and had it not been for Charles Gordon and Li Hung Chang, the Tartar dynasty would certainly have been overthrown. The head of this rebellion was a Chinaman who gave out that he was the younger brother of Julius Christ and had been sent to this world to reform China. The Triad society has its lodges, and there are flags, banners, and umbrellas connected with it. It holds its regular meetings, and it forces members to join its organization if they are not amenable to persuasion. It has the power of life and death over its members, and the members mix their own blood with wine and swear to uphold the order to the death. Among the punishments for treason to the order is the having the ears chopped off or the head cut off, and the divulgence of the secrets of the order is death. The members have their own signs and passwords. You can tell, it is said, whether a man belongs to the order by the way he enters the house, and I am told that they stop a moment at the door and put the left foot first. In sitting down, they point their toes together and keep the heels apart, and they have a way of raising their trousers' legs which is known only to the brethren. They are bound to help any of the order who get into trouble, and they have secret signs by which they can mark their houses so that their families will escape in case of revolution. At dinner, the arrangement of the cups on the table allows their callers who belong to the order to know that they are members, and there are a thousand little things which no one else would notice which enable them to recognize each other.
The Triad society and Koloa Club are very much like the highbinders of San Francisco.
They swear to defend each other against the police, to hide each others' crimes, and they are ready to kill for the sake of the order at the command of its leaders. Their main grievance is against the government, and they have published manifestos against it, and are doing so now. Some of the chiefs of the order are said to be traveling around the country as doctors, and they are carrying the news of the Chinese defeats, and are gathering in members wherever they go. Their motto is "Drive out the Tartar," and it is said that one branch of the Triad society dates back to 1664 A.D., or twenty years after the conquest. They have been working to overthrow the government ever since, and they have a great hatred of anything which is not purely Chinese. It is safe to say of the hundreds of millions in China that outside of the government officials there are not 100,000 Chinese who would fight for the emperor. They keep him because they must have a ruler of some kind, but they know he is a Tartar, and they hate him. In every Chinese state capital there is a Manchu army as well as a Chinese army, and the Tartars are neither admired nor loved. The emperor, in fact, is like Humpty Dumpty. He sits on the wall, and if he should fall, all of his horses and all of his men could never put Humpty Dumpty up again.
A LOW TAX RATE.
It will be surprising to many Americans to know how cheaply the government of China is run. Taxes are lower perhaps than in any other civilized country on the globe. The principal source of revenue is the land tax, and this varies from 10 to 66 cents on acre. The emperor nominally owns all the land, but in reality the people have as much a right to their farms as we have, and they buy and sell their real estate, giving deeds for the same. I took a photograph of a Chinese deed, by which a missionary had bought some land at Nanking, and which he was carrying to Shanghai to be recorded at the American consulate, during my trip with him down the Yangtze-Kiang. It was as big as four pages of this newspaper, and was covered with stamps. China pays no tax on liquors, and it is said that the taxes do not amount to 75 cents per head of the population. A large part of the revenue is collected from the taxing of salt, and there are import and export taxes collected on goods passing up and down the rivers. I saw customs boats everywhere, and the river police is quite extensive. The people understand very well just how much taxes they ought to pay. They are thoroughly organized, and any radical increase, such as must come from the present war with Japan, which is probably costing them $11,000,000 a day, is almost certain to create a revolution. I have seen different estimates of the revenues gotten by the empire of China, and in no case have the amounts turned into the general government been greater than $150,000,000 a year. This would be a small amount in comparison with the indemnity that Japan will probably demand if she is victorious in this war, and the Chinese emperor has, indeed, a thorny road before him.
The greatest danger arises in the character of the Chinese as regards coal and labor combinations. The Government is perhaps the only disorganized part of the country, very city, every state and almost every province is packed full of different unions, and all branches of industry are banded together. Our labor unions are nothing in comparison with those of China, and the government has to bow down to them. The laborers united some years ago and made the emperor come to terms in regard to the public examinations for their children. They had before this belonged to a rather despised class. They stand now as high as any other people in the empire. One of the features of barbering in China is ear cleaning. Each barber has tweezers with which he pulls little hairs out of your ears, or trims them to suit. The Chinese like to have the backs of their shoulders and necks kneaded after they are shaved. This takes a good deal of time, and the barbers concluded that it kept them too busy during the holidays. The union called its members together all over the empire. They passed a law which makes it impossible for you to get your ears cleaned during six certain days of the year. Li Hung Chang is great enough to slap the cheeks of the Chinese officials who call upon him. He makes his generals get down on their knees, and if the emperor does not take away his big cloth boots he will continue to kick them out of the room. He would not dare, however, to do anything against the union of the wheelbarrow coolies, and he has stopped some of his greatest improvements after they have cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars because certain of the trades unions objected. These wheelbarrow men are, in fact, one of the strong organizations of China and they are one of the great obstacles in the way of railroad building.
BANKERS GUILD.
The bankers of China have a guild, and it depends very much upon them whether the government is supplied with money for the war. There are nearly 1,000 banks in the six cities of Shanghai and Tien-Tsin, and their members all work together. They have their connections with other banks of the empire, and they fix the rates of interest and regulate exchange. The tea merchants have a guild, and there are silk guilds and all sorts of manufacturers' unions.
These unions are very rigid as to their own men and they have waged war against modern machinery. In some instances they have killed employers who have acted contrary to their wishes, and a horrible case occurred at Shanghai a few years ago, where an employer tried to flee the union. He was warned, but he refused to accede to the demands of the men. and they concluded to make an example of him. He had more than 100 men in this shop. These were employed when he entered one morning, and at a concerted signal they sprang upon him and commenced biting him. They had a leader and this leader would not let one of the men go away from the place without showing his teeth. The teeth and gums were bloody, he was permitted to go out, otherwise he was seized and told to take a bite. The plot was settled up on the basis that there is no capital punishment in China for biting. The employer was bitten to death, and the incident finally came to the ears of the government. It made a great fuss on paper and filed memorials concerning it, but only the man who took the first bite was punished, and the union gained its end.
WINDOW CLEANING.
The business of window cleaning in New York has increased so much that there are now employed in the work men who do nothing else, making of window cleaning a regular trade. The concerns engaged in this business make contracts for a year or for longer periods, The windows cleaned are mostly those of banks, stores and offices, but there are some householders who have their house windows cleaned by regular cleaners. One window cleaning establishment has upon its lists eleven private houses; it takes none for less than $6 a month, and the prices range from that up to $26 a month. Prices, of course, depend upon the number of windows and the amount of work to be done. For example, for one bank with a considerable number of windows the charge is $35 a month; for one Broadway corner store, $25 a month.
TYPICAL GERMAN HOME LIFE
Beautifully Described by Count A. Bournoff of the Royal Household.
THE FAMILY IN THE FATHERLAND
The German love of the private sphere and work of women, miscellany of the family, the beautiful cheer and merit of a Characteristic.
The love of home is found in almost every nation, but perhaps it is nowhere so strong as with the Germans. The longing for the old home follows them everywhere, while the Englishman takes his home with him into the most distant lands, his house being everywhere an English home, the German easily loses his national customs. He is more inclined to adapt himself to the new surroundings, but the love for the old home remains, the recollection of the fatherland, be it ever so small, keeps alive in his heart. Foreign nations have recognized this in using the word "fatherland" especially for the German's country. Truly, the Swiss will not miss his glaciers, more than the native of the Mark of Brandenburg his sandy heath with the dark lining of forest in the horizon. Already the old Germans clung with tenacity to the inherited piece of land which they defended to the utmost against their enemies. In this home, the woman, even before she was raised and ennobled by Christianity, held a prominent place. We now read with pride the testimony given by the Roman historian Tacitus to the strict morality of the old Germans. Also today, the happiness of the home is chiefly dependent upon the woman. The letters recently published of Moltke and Bismarck show how much the development of these two great Germans is due to the influence of their mothers, whoever is acquainted with the life of the great poet, Goethe, knows how important was the influence exercised by "Frau Buch." Queen Louise of Prussia, the mother of our great Emperor William I, still lives in the hearts of the people as a model wife and mother, helping her husband to bear in submission to God and in undaunted fortitude, his great trials when Napoleon I tried to erase Prussia from the map of Europe, and training her children in great simplicity for their future high calling. And it is present, we throw a glance into the Imperial castle, we find the first woman of Germany surrounded by a happy group of children, who move about in the most simple and childlike manner, the joy of the nation; and their education rests, though not entirely, yet to a great extent, in the hands of their mother, Empress Augusta Victoria. It is known that every night before retiring to bed, she passes through the nurseries, and as far as her other duties allow her to be present at a fixed hour, leads herself the evening prayers of her children.
But also in humbler spheres, the woman reigns as queen in her little kingdom. When the wife of a landed proprietor, her interest in the welfare of the working men and of the servants, to whom she proves a faithful friend in good and bad days. When the wife of a professor or an official with a large number of children, she must often use much diligence and inventive genius to make the moderate income of the father suffice. We find her therefore in the kitchen, or occupied with needle and thimble, dedicating her best strength to the material wants of her family, and therefore sometimes without sympathy for the higher interests of her husband, quiet and modest in society.
THE HOME AND FAMILY.
Work is the leading element in the life of the man in Germany. Men without profession are a rare exception. Their vocation as officials, officers, protestors, etc., naturally takes up the greater part of their life. The first question one puts about a man in Germany is "What is he?" Even men of means, who would perhaps in other countries be satisfied with the position their wealth grants them and consider the spending of their money as a sufficient occupation, seek an employment of some kind in the service of the country in order to secure a position, because a man who is "nothing" is not sufficiently honored. Therefore, not only the management of the household, but also the education of the children falls to the lot of the woman. It has been said "While the English woman is above all things, wife and helpmate of her husband, the German woman is the first of all mother." Nevertheless, unhappy marriages are fortunately rare, and divorce, though rendered very easy by our laws, which bear the lax character of the last century, is not particularly frequent. This is due to the circumstance that marriages are chiefly contracted by mutual affection. Of course, a number of marriages are settled in Germany as elsewhere for the sake of money, but it would then not be openly avowed. While, for instance, in France it is more generally recognized that parents choose suitable husbands and wives for their children, the principle in Germany is that the young people seek each other after the inflammation of their hearts. Already the engagement is considered serious and binding. The relations between unmarried young men and women are somewhat restricted in liberty and bound to certain forms. The young woman is considered to find her chief duties in the house as help to her mother, as sympathizing friend to her brothers, home for the holidays, and as her father's bright and intelligent companion, sweetening his leisure hours.
But we now live in a time of transition, and now ideas are making way which open a larger activity to the fair sex. Deaconesses' institutions, which exercise their beneficial influence all over Germany and beyond her frontiers for now fifty years, give unmarried women a noble calling to nurse the sick, to visit the poor and to bring to both the glad tidings of the gospel. We find all classes of society represented in these institutions. Higher schools for girls and seminaries for female teachers also prepare women for a larger activity, and quite recently a number of influential men have started a "gymnasium," as we here term the upper schools, where Latin and Greek is taught preparatory to the university for young women. The admission of the latter to our universities is only a question of time. Yet, according to German ideas, all these things are only meant for the number of unmarried women who have no home and are obliged to earn their bread. The home is always considered the woman's chief place. We have now, thank God, a number of ladies who do voluntary mission work, but this should never interfere with the home duties. The influence which the woman exerts on the nation by the training of its future members as mother is considered to be not only her chief duty, but one so grand and important that it is well worth dedicating a life to it. One of our great German writers says "I am glad that I had a mother who was not one of the modern ladies who seek their activity in a number of associations outside the house, but who belonged to me and watched anxiously over my childhood." There may be just a little narrowness in this view of a woman's duty, but it would be shortsighted not to recognize its lofty side, and we hope that the progress of time will not quite do away with the good old tradition.
MUSIC IN THE HOME.
Music has a great place in the German home. There is hardly a home where not one member at least is endowed with this gift. The greatest masters of music were Germans. How attractive is the simple German song, how deeply moving the German hymn ("choral"). The gift of singing is widely spread in our nation, and excellent conservatories, which are also an attraction for foreigners, cultivate this art for church and home. A favorite recreation of the German is to ill with his family in the open air at when the weather permits it. In the large towns every small bit of garden is carefully cultivated; one often sees families lifting together on the balcony; and when time allows, the father likes to take his whole family with him on an excursion, and to ill with them in a public garden listening to music.
On the whole, society is simple. In old times, a very good example was given in this of respect by our ancestors. How simple were the parties given by the King Frederick William III and IV of Prussia; hardly a thing would now be placed on the table of a nobleman, not to speak of a rich man of business. Our kings liked to draw eminent men, poets, writers, artists, to their table, and the intellectual part of society was the prominent one. This is also influenced now under the influence of the time. We see in many houses a society which is more an unpleasant duty than a recreation. Large dinners and suppers, often exceed the means of those who give them, but nobody likes to remain behind friends and colleagues, and so many people rather renounce part of the domestic comfort than forego these invitations, which they consider as a social duty springing from their position in life. But even if materialism has increased in this respect, literature and science and intellectual conversation still hold a large part of German society. Many wish to shine by knowledge and wit, and the tendency to defend one's own opinion is perhaps one of the sides of the German character which does not always make it popular to strangers.
THE FAMILY TIE IS SACRED.
The family tie is sacred in Germany, and extends also to the larger family. Members of the same name, especially among the nobility, meet from time to time for conferences (Familiennach), and have generally friends to assist the poorer members of the family. The German is sure to find an open hand and house wherever he meets even a distant relative.
The relation of children to their parents, though it has lost much of the old rigidity, is still one of respect, and this is certainly a good foundation for the state, as the Bible in his admirable family catechism explains the fifth commandment to refer also to teachers, employees, and all in authority. Also grown-up children respect parental authority. As long as father or mother hold the household, remains the center of the family, also for the married children.
At the household does not only comprise the family, the servants are part of the German home. Though also in this respect much of the good old habit is done away with. In the present age, especially in the larger towns, where the family does not occupy, like in the United States and England, a house of its own, but only a flat, with sometimes very insufficient accommodation for the servants, yet we find many who look back on a service of forty or fifty years in the same family.
The great day for the German home is Christmas eve, when all the family gathers round the fir tree with its shining light. The German Christmas tree, which has now found its way into many other countries, is a very old institution with us, and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even the poor man would spare his last cent to buy a tree, wherever Germans are together at Christmas, the tree must not be wanting.
The writer of these lines remembers a Christmas spent on the Atlantic on one of the North German Lloyd steamers. The weather was very rough, but the Christmas tree was nevertheless lighted. People remember to their old stages the joyful excitement of their childhood, when the bell of the father called them into the room where the presents were laid out for them under the lighted tree. Also the servants were called and received their gifts. Even in homes where there are no children, the Christmas tree is lit, and wealthy people often invite the children of one or more poor families to give them presents on the day which commemorates that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son; everybody wishes to show love to his neighbor. What a beautiful type that only the religion of Christ brings true light into the home!
A truly Christian home only exists where the household gathers for family worship and does not sit down to table without asking for God's blessing. This in Germany, like elsewhere, is only to be found among people who truly seek the Lord. We are happy that we have an increasing number of such Christian homes in Germany.

Belief More Than Mind Alone.
Science says now that beauty, not only deep. She can tell you that half the charm of a pretty face lies in the expression, a matter of little muscles and a complex labyrinth of nerves, and that the curves of the lip, the glance of the eye, the droop of their lids, are a matter of the prevalent use of certain small muscles in obedience to a prevalent shape of the mind. Moreover, that the urge of those springs of creation has, in the long run, along ancestral lines, and that the mold of the features themselves is a question of breeding. | 27 |

"I suppose , Mr. IJouverle , " said Jackson
nCtor ordering a fresh box of cigars and a
new round of liquors for his guests , "I eup-
JXMO you , n * a publisher , have had some
worn or less curious experiences In your
day. "
"Yen , several , " replied th& Briton ; "sorao
ot them amusing , some of them tragic , and
a few of them embarrassing In a aanse ,
Ono poor ilevll of a poet brought his book
Into our shop one day and left It for Inspec
tion and possible publication , Wo Uccamo In
terested In It at once and brought out quite
on edition , which sold rapidly and was fol
lowed by another and larger edition. This
went off quite as quickly aa Iho first. When
the first royalty date ciiino to hand we sent
the author a check for 50 , and flvc minutes
after mailing It learned that the fellow had
blown his brains out. A * far ax could be
learned , he lofL no family and all his prop
erty wont to the government , our check with
the rest of It. and as a matter of fact we
hare been paying the government from 11 }
to 50 a year royalty on that book ever
since. "
"Rather singular that , " said Parlter. "Tho
Idea of a government getting royalties on a
volume of poems Rtrlltes me as something
new. "
"Tha Idea of anybody getting royalties
on a volume of poems these days , strikes
mo as novel , " said Jemmlson. "I don't think
anything like that happens In thU coun
try. "
"Americans liavcn't time to read poetry ,
tbat's why , " said Ilarlow. "Look at me , for
Instance. I can take n poem by almost any
poet Inlie ( United States , or out of It. and
read It through , but as for getting at the sense
of the stuff , that's a thing I haven't time
for. People hero live In a hurry and haven't

tlmo lor puzzloa , and when they read , It
Isn't merely for the purpose of exercising
their eyes. If you verso writers would write
the kind of stuff that can be grasped In a
mtmito , at ono sitting , as It were , simple
sentiment like that In the rhymed advcr-
tUorncnta In the newspapers or on the ad
vertising panels of the street cars , you'd
bo "much more appreciated. "
"There's a good deal In what Caddy says , "
assented Dr. Koblnson. "Most modern verse
Is of the hide and seek variety. The poet se
lects a thought , conceals It In a sonnet , and
sends the result out Into the world. In Eng
land , where there Is a leisure class , there
an * people who have the time to sit down
and work the thing out , but here we have
no such class , nnd what an American cannot
comprehend at a' glance he doesn't care to
have at all. The average reader of this kind
always Buffers after reacting a poem from
a sort of 'whero-am-I-at-Btatlvencss. ' which
he doesn't relish exactly. it makes him
leel as 1C ho were suffering from paresis
when "he reads a poem and cannot compre
hend It. the consequcnco of which la that ho
looks upon all poetry very much as a spirited
horsa loolcs upon a steam stona crusher.
Ho won't go dny closer to it than ho has to
and passc tt by on the dead run unless he
i compelled "to do otherwise. "
"You ought to write a aeries ot guide
books to Modern Poets , " suggested Jackson.
"Call yourself the BacdocKer of the Pools ,
and wade right In. "
"I should certainly bo pleased to under
take the publication of such n series * for
lingllnd , Dr. noblnson , " observed Mr. Dou-
vcrlo , with n smile. "They would form thp
nucleti of a library of humor that I have
had In contcmp'atlon for n number of years. "
"Did I understand you to say that you had
had some embarrassing experiences , Mr. llou-
verlo ? " asked Lieutenant Qerold.
"Yos , " said Douverlo. "One or two. Ono
ot them , was not only embarrassing , but
oostljr. I had a book of poems onca by Cole
ridge , Wordsworth , Shelley and a dozen other
famous poets all ready for publication and
had to withdraw It. I had a new reader , a
vary charming old gentleman with a bad
memory. Ho got mo Into very serious trouble
by writing so strong a rccommedatlon for
the book that I wont ahead with It without
reading It myself. It wai put In type ,
printed , bound , announced. Orders had been
received for It. but the day before publication
something happened which necessitated its
withdrawal. I showed a copy of It to a
friend and hn expressed himself so strongly
and portlnently that I tent the whole edition
Into th bins In tha stororoottiwhere It lies
to this day. "
"What was the trouble ! " asked Barlow.
"Weren't Colcrldga and Wordsworth and
Shelley good enough ? "
"They were. Indeed , but this book was
printed with the name ot a certain young
poetess of great ambition and little moral
snie on the title page but tlie most singular
incident I ever had In publishing was In
connection with the worki of the talented
Miss Hope. "
"Ah ? Yes ! " said VaJnntlnt"I know her
work , and a most extraordinary person jhf
mu t have bren. "
"She was , " assented Kouverle. "She toolc
London l > r storm. Her first book was ft novel
of vary great force. U came to ua In the
spring ot 'S3. With It came a modestly ex
pressed Utter In a dainty feminine hand ask
ing it we would Klvo 11 a speedy reading and
It possible publish it , slnro It was her first
Jtforl nnd she wai anxious to get a Btart.
Sha Informed us that aba was entirely de-
vandent upon -what she could earn by her pen
for a living ; had really no uttlcd home am
very tow friends. The simplicity of the let-
It f IntercitPd me. Uwag unlike other let
tors I had received from nthcr beginners
but tbo difference was In form rather than
In auhtlanrt. What hn lud to gay abou
hfTiMfva pjcprM'od with srcat cleverness
nd a > for the novel , while Usi not great
it WHS far h yond what must \\rltera who
lack eipulcnco can produce. H wai approved
unanimously by our reader * , nnd ao glowing
were thi-lr rccnmniemlntlons that I slipped
It Intomy iatchsl and took U off to my
bMt to read , rnyolf. It me abcofblBglr In
teresting , and despite the difficulties of readIng -
Ing a story of that length In manuscript I
went through It from beginning to end In ono
sitting.
"Of course tt was published , and the view
the reading public look of Its merits as evi
denced by Iti sale was not In any way differ
ent from that which our readers and 1 had
taken , The first , second and third editions
went off Ilko hot cakes , and we were besieged -
sieged by the literary causerlc follows for
Information as to this new star In the firma
ment of letters. 1 xvrote to the young woman
and asked' her for same account" of her ante
cedents , and received within a few days a
sketch of her life , which was almost as ro
mantic aa the story HD had published : It
was pathetic and humorous , and through It
all ran tha same delightful quality that had
made her book , so fetching. Then people be
gan to try to lionize her. Invitations uy the
dozen were addressed to her In our care , re
questing her to honor literary gatherings
with her presence. Others wanted her to dine
with them. She waa elected to honorary
membership in certain women's asaoclatlona
but as far as 1 could gather never accepted
any of them. As time went on I began to
think that It would be a good thing If she
should accept some of the attentions the
world seemed so ready to lavish upon her ,
nnd I ventured to write to her to that effect ,
excusing myself for Interfering on the ground
that aa her publisher I look a great deal ot
Interest In her career and thought It due to
liersolt that she should come out of her se
clusion ns far as Bhe-roulil.
"Her reply was full of gratitude for the In
terest I had taken In her welfnrs , but she
was firm In her refusal to desert the
privacy which alio so much loved. She \\-is
of nn extremely dlflldent disposition , she said.
She was wrapped up In her work and had no
taaU for social diversions. She added that
aha uas engaged upon another book uhlcli
she expected to Bind me shortly , and closed
by saying that she hoped I would like It as
well as I did the first. Several weeks later
th ? second hook came to hand. It vias no
more like the first thnn a Chinaman is like a
frenchman ! ' It Was In an entirely different
vein , but every bit as clover as the first. It
was In many ways a complete surprise to me.
n tha first place. It was a man's book ,
while the first had been more of a woman's
look than anything else. She dealt wltli the
fortune of a young scion of nobility In the
second , and In such a way as seemed to In
dicate that she knew all about Iho trials and
omptntlons whtch beset the joung men of
today , a more or less astonishing acquire
ment In a girl of her tendency to make a
ecluso of herself. Of course I published the
jook , am ] it the first had-raised a storm of
applause the second aroused a hurricane of
enthusiasm. The magazines bga to take
notice and Miss Hope's work was in great
demand. She met the demand with a supply
: hat was absolutely marvelous. It made no
difference what she undertook , she did It well
and showed a grasp on subjects of the most
diverse kinds. Her poetry was specially taking
ingaud her essays wore written with a
ouch which evnii Lang might envy. All her
literary business was , at her request , carried
on through our firm , and we had some diffi
culty In convincing outsiders that our knowl
edge of the young woman's personality wai
almost aa. slight as that of the world.
"When she had written a sufficient number
of poems to warrant a booklet ot them I
proposed that It bo issued , and she readily
agreed , She compiled them herself ; made
certain alterations In them which showed
that aho possessed a nlco literary instinct ;
added a few unpublished verses to the lot
and sent them in. As the book was about
ready for the press It occurred to ma that a
photograph of the author would , make a
good fronttiplcco of It. Mlsa Hope demurred
for awhileto this. She had never had her
photograph taken , she wrote , and was of the
opinion that It would add little to > the value
of the book anyhow. She wished to be
Judged by her work alone. Her personal ap
pearance bad nothing whatever to do with
that , nnd on the whole- she preferred not to
let the public Into the secret ot how she
looked , Tbla struck me as being sensible
and I did not press the point , although I was
much disappointed- .
"It happened after awhile , however , that
she was forced to permit an authentic
portrait ot herself to bo published. Some
urscrupulous American newspaper syndicate
pirated the second book , and In connection
with It flooded the United States with a
wholly fabricated wood cut of MUa Hope ,
which would have driven any other creature
to sulclcle > . One of thcaa was ent to me by
an Amejrlcan friend , and I Immediately for
warded It to Iho fair original with a Jocose
note , expressing my regret that she should
thus have favored the American public , while
denyingto her countrymen the coveted
privilege of Raring upon her counterfeit pre
sentment. This had the desired effect , and
within two week * I was in possession of a
pnotogiaph of Miss Iope | , with permission
to publish It as the frontispiece to a volume
of essays which we were making ready.
When I saw the photograph I became more
Interested In Miss Hopo. than ever , for It was
the face of a charming girl ot about 20 that
uaKtd back at me from the print. She ap
peared to be of a blonde type ; had deep , soul
ful > os , a wealth of hair arranged tastefully
over a high. Intellectual forehead ; a slightly
Irregular nose , and a mouth which Indicated
much firmness of character , to me the
essays becnmo the leait part of tbo Look
when tt was Usuod with that fc opposite
the tltlo page , and my susceptibilities made
me think of a possible Mrs. llouverle. who
should baa-ncman of exceptional mould.
"So a year went on. The popularity of the
young authoress suffered no diminution ; It
Increased nther , until one day 1 received a
short note from h r stating that she was In
London and would be pleased to have mo
call , fixInK the hour and date. No sooner
was this received than a rtply accepting her
Imitation was sent , though when 1 camo'to
address th reply , which task I did not rfara
in entrust to the hands of a clerk. I waa
Bomewhat disturbed to discover whera tha
fjlr vltltor waa Joduod , It waj In ona of
the most populoui nnd busy streets ot Lon
don , the last pluije In tin world where * a
jewel of humanity jiich aa I had came to
think of her as Mng , should find loJgnunl.
" 'An eccentricity pt statue , ' I tbougiu ,
and then busied myself with ether things
until th hour appointed. I dressed with
unusual care , called a II in so m and nought
the IIOUBO. I wan received at the door by
on ngod woman who smiled r hcr broadly ,
I thought , when I asked if Miss Hope was
"I DttCSSED WITH UNUSUAL CARE. "
Jn. She said eho was , and requested me to
go up to thu third story front.
" 'Wouldn't ' you bettor take my card to
her first ? ' I asked.
" 'Ho n , sir , ' replied the aged woman.
'Jty borders waa to show you hup as soon
as you kyme/ - - -
"So up I went through two dark halls ,
along three dark stairways , and tapped gently
upon the door of the 'front ' room.Instead of
the soft silvery voice- had expected for I
had been thinking so much about Miss Hope
of late , that I had a well developed notion
In my mind as to her voice , manner , walk ,
gestures nnd so forth" I heard a gruff , masculine -
culino votco cry out , 'co.me In , and having
como close nfler you the"door. . '
"For a moment I was staggered. Perhaps
I had tapped on the wronp door. The thing
to do was to apologize and get out. So I
opened the door aud saw sitting around a
table playing cards and smoking profusely a
half dozen men I knew well , Gas ton of the
"Kambler , " Cliolmondeley I'hlpps ot tha
"Telegram , " nnd others all enormously
clever men of decidedly Bohemian Instincts.
" 'Halloo , Bouverle , ' cried Qaston as I on-
tored. 'Glad to see you. This Is an unex
pected pleasure. '
" 'It certainly Is for me , ' I answered as
well as J could , considering my surprise. 'I
liad no Intention of disturbing you , I am
sure. I cnmo here to make a call on on
one of our authors. I believe he haa rooms
In this house. '
"I'hipps laughed In a way I did not fancy
very much , nnd then he said In a way I
lilced still less , 'Her '
" M don't understand you , ' I said.
" 'You said you believed 'Ho' had rooms
n this house. Sure its a he , Uouverle ? '
" 'Well , ' I said slowly , for an Idea was be
ginning to dawn on my mind. 'I wasn't sura
of It when I spoke , but
" 'There are no rooms let in this liouso ,
Bouverle , ' said Gaston. 'We have It all.
This 1& our card room and you are welcome.
n fact , Bouverle , you'vo paid for most of It. '
"UT1 I queried , n little mystified.
" 'Yes , ' returned Gaston. "You and the
British public. Those blasted Americans
ilidn't pay for the stuff , did they Phlppsy ? '
" 'They did not , ' said Phipps ; 'but they
printed our photograph for us. ' ,
" 'Well.1 ' I putKln. " "This la , 'all "very rays'
.erlous unless I have been made the victim
of a practical joke. ' ,
' 'You have,1 said Gaston.
' 'And you gentlemen then are
' 'The talented Miss Hope at your service
Bouvcrlo , ' said Phlppsanl ( then the sextet
rose up and salaamed ? tr'.D-o you think our
photograph looks like us ? ' they cried.
"And so it was. Those six villains had
concocted Miss Hope ; had written her books
had started the- furor for her work In their
own papers , and I was their victim. "
"Victim or beneficiary ? " asked Jackson.
"A little of both. " returned Bouverle. "So
much of one that I forgave them for making
mo a llltlo of the other ; but from that time
on the talented Mlsa Hope stopped writing. '
1MP1KT1KS.
A quaint , humor-loving preacher among
the early Methodists of southern Indiana wa
one of the name of Jones , and at one time a
visiting minister filled the appointment with
him. when during the sermon an amusing
Incident occurred , which was enjoyed to its
fullest extent by Rev. Jones. The minister
was lamenting the Infidelity of the times , and
lifting his hands in holy horror , exclaimed :
"Why , brethren , there are men In those fle
generate days who do not believe that Jonah
swallowed the whale ! But I believe that
Jonah swallowed the whale , and you believe
that Jonah swallowed tha whale ! "
Noticing the halt amused , half doubtful ex
pression on the faces of his congregation , he
warmed up , and , thinking to add a clincher
to the assertion , turned to his friend la the
pulpit with him :
"And you bellovo it nlso , . rother1 Jones ! "
Without relaxing n muscle Brother Jones
answered solemnly :
"No , brother. " . '
The Jaw of the astonished prea6her drop
ped ; ho fairly gasped for breath , and finally
cried out :
"What ! Do you 'not bellevo "that Jonal
swallowed the Whale ? " 8tlU , sticking to hi

pent together oil an Arkansas plantation ;
nit ot one only did I take any notes ,
"Tell " "I have told
you what ? said she.
ou many times Ibat 1 love America. I have
nly seen the itwl , It seems to mo. In Bos
on , I was at MrsTFIcld's house. Mrs. Hold's '
Saturdays are delightful , Sha gathers about
er the most Interesting men and women
n Boston. That house seems to me nearer

nthuslasm enthusiasm In poetry , in art , In
charity , lor she Is In a nulet way an ever
msy philanthropist.
"In Now York also , at Mrs. Glider's , I was
charmed with the miscellaneous people whom
t got acquainted with ; all countries , all
creeds and the most various talents meeting
n the poet's home , during one short after
noon of talk , tea and music. We had oven

Chicago society men are willing to so and
llvs there among the poor and the anarch-
IsttJ. for days' oftd weeks , at a time ? Yet
I know of young Chicago lawyers who do
that and U Is .great social work. In the
world they are-perfectly slmpla and like
other men otlwcalth and position ; but with
out boasting of It , they are living this self-
denylne life. I found that very noble. "
"What did you on the whole find most
striking In American society ? I am ashamed
of that questionj-but I don't quite know how
to put It better '
"That would lt > & hard to answer , " said
Mmo. Blanc , musingly , "your society Is
like your country , BO his , so diversified | n
Its aims nnd Interests. The charm of Now
Orleans , where I lived like In fairyland at
the fanciful time of carnival and the calm ,
sober charm not } JBoiton , for Instance , are
qulta different. But one thing struck me ,
everywhere , In all ( the different social circles ;
and It certainly * Impressed me deeply ; that
was the part played by women. They are
the society leaders. And this struck me too
very vividly the women In your country
are BO Interested' In each other ; they were
as witty , as brilliant at the ladles' luncheons
where there were only women aa if they hail
an audUnco of men. I fear we might get a
llttlft bored , In France , shining for three
hours without a man to hear our best thing * .
But your women seem to like It. I find the
friendships among women beautiful here ,
above all when there Is not that little touch
of exaggeration , which rather spoils them
sometimes. Friendship has nothing to do
with passion and Is not the less strong , for
that , I think. The chief point Is to be able
to trust each other , and I know we do.
Thcro Is a great deal of true , solid devotion
between , women frlenfls In America. More
than , once I have seen two of them who spent
part of all of their time together. This
could hardly be in France. There one would
not bs likely to have a chance to form suoh.
a close Intimacy -with another woman. Our
custom * do not encourage it , and French
husbands would not be pleased that their
wives should have very close woman friends.
The wife might confide too much ot his little
errors aa a husband , you know , " she addeO
smiling. i
"Out , " I could not help Interrupting , "I
should fancy that -woman would be a less
dangerous recipient ot her confidences than
a handsome young man. and her pity would
bo far less dangoioua ! " ,
"Perhaps. " said my French friend , smiling
"but ho is less afraid of the man than of
the woman. "
"Women , I dare eay , have less liberty in
France , anyhow ? "
FHENCH WOMEN UNEMANCIPATED.
"They ara Ie s emancipated ; but I hardly
think that they have * less power. Do you
know ono thine ? Your men are admirable
I am fond of them ; they are so kind tt
women , to women everywhere , Irrespective
of the woman's yotith or looks or condition
yet I really don't think they are so Inter
ested In women as are French men. When
two Americans meet , by cha'nce , they tall
of politics or the business situation or the
like ; they would never think of discussing
women , "
"Surely not ! " T. cried , opening my eyes
"do you mean that Frenchmen would ? "
"The talk would veer round In that dl
rcctlon , finally , however It began , " Bald eho
dryly. < t
The comment came involuntarily from the
Itatenir : "American men have soinetlilni

AMERICAN LITERATURE PREFERRED.
I felt encouraged to ask whether the
Yencli critics were most attracted at pres-
; nt by Engl'ali or American literature. And
t yras pleasant to hear from to Rood and
safe a Judge that It was- the literature of
America that attracted most attention.
"Oh , to ba sure. " she said , "a man llfco
iCIplfng will have suddenly a name , but It
you will allow me , a no\el like Robert Els-
nero will never greatly fntercst France. "
"And how about Divlil Qrlove ? "
"David Grieve has so many mistakes , about
ho Paris part. And that sort of wild devil ,
its sister why , no woman Is BO naughty , all
lie time. It becomes Insupportable ! "
GENIUS OF MAUPASSANT.
I laughed ; and In a minute sha added ;
'What Interests us In Franco , above all , In
- our American life , Is that It Is a new window
opened upon the world. It Is your novel
view ; and then It Is your freshness and youi
loneaty. Wo like these qualities of American
writers very much. Yes , wiiat I think so
splendid Is your taking , each of you , your
own corner and carefully studying It. You
are doing for literature what the scientists of
his century do In science. "
"Has not Maupassant done the game kind
of thing with the Norman life ? "
"Yea ; but I don't think that he has. made
UB feel a strong love for It , showing us the
> eanant under rather a comic aspect. Yet ,
n fact , Maupassant , of all the French writ
ers , was a great provincial. He Knew the
earth. Zola has slandered her. But Zola ,
et us do him Justice , never belittles anything
: von In calumny , while Maupassaift somc-
Imcs belittles nature by his contrasts , as
where ho compares the harvest fields , un-
Idlly cut , to the cheek of n man who has
mdly shaved himself. He has been reproached -
preached with that Imago. It Is true , how
ever , now the magnifying eye of Zola would
lave neither seen the harvest Held on the
man's cheek , and It wou'.d have been true
also. There- arc splendid parts of description
n Maupassant's longer novels , but has
iouched many of the most painful questions
of morals without seeming to call attention
, o them. He. has not preached nor given ad
vice , but ho has forced people to think !
Take the tale of La Flls. with the man In It
vho so cynically and carelessly wrongs the
peasant girl in a vil.age through which ho
is merely passing. He goes away and for-
golu ; but ; years after , when he returns by
: ; hanOi > -ip-4.ile village , ho finds that the girl
Is dead of what you would call a broken
heart , and working In the fields he sees her
son , a , repulsive Idiot , In whose hideous fea
tures he perceives , nevertheless , n resem
blance to his own. In the renlorse that sweeps
upon him , ho would help the wretch , ho
would give him money but ho. cannot do
oven that ; for the Idiot Is a drunkard , a
debased offspring of violence and lust ;
money would only bo a harm to him ! It
U a thpmo of sin , and 1U. consequences
that has been treated by innumerable hands ;
but In none with * uoh tragic sowor. Mau
passant Is very human , there Is his strength.
I cannot deny his faults. There are many
painful things In his tales , many coarse de
tails , much that seems useless In his trank-
noBS. but underreath It all , there .Is some
thing that wrings the heart ! "
"Yeis. " ' I Bald. "I have felt It a. hundred
times. Do you not think , also , that more
than most Trench writers he has a sense of
humor. ? "
' 'Oh , surely. Ho Is a little cruel In his
humor , some times , and often ho Is sad , but
It la humor , not wit. "
"Mr. Dunnor had seen that. I think. In
his paraphrase of Maupassant , called Told
In France , ho has rendered the Norman
humor most onchantlngly Into United States
forma ; It is awfully good. I find the first
story about the French tenor with a wife !
a little overdrawn. That funny English the
Frenchman talks Is very funny though. And
very true to life , too. Yes , when I read
that I-can hoar myself talklnc ; 1 Bay that
Is the way I pronounce words. " She was
laughing good-naturedly.
"Well , it Isn't , then. " I answered with
entire honesty , for It Hi only occasionally
that a French Intonation , as pretty as it Is
droll , attracts the listener's attention ; while
her mastery of English idioms was a con
tinual wonder to me , "you speak lovely Eng
lish ; and you know all the shades In our
apoech , you always use the- right adjective. "
"Oh. but I have spoken English ever slnco
a child , and always have loved the English
literature since my English governess gave
me tha Waverly novels to read. My mother
would not hnvo permitted me to read French
novels * but she has great confidence In the
English writers. And wherever In any hooka
ho thought there was something that a
child should not read , she pinned the pages
together ; to this day when I read those
books. I remember the looks of those- pins
In tbo pages. "
I ltd the conversation back to the French
writers , to the- symbolists and the decadents
and the realists , but I cannot repeat what
Mmo. Diane said ; for Just then the black
man grinned at the door to announce that
the cart was ready ; and wo wont to drive.

F. R. RICE MERCANTILE CIGAR CO. ,
Factory No. 301 , Bt. Louts , Mo , | In a mortuary manner, traversing the domain of the snare. Reminiscing, perhaps in 1801, by the author. "I suppose, Mr. Douverle, said Jackson ordering a fresh box of cigars and a new round of liquors for his guests, "I assume you, as a publisher, have had some worn or less curious experiences in your day."
"Indeed, several," replied the Briton; "some of them amusing, some of them tragic, and a few of them embarrassing in a sense. One poor fellow of a poet brought his book into our shop one day and left it for inspection and possible publication. We took an interest in it at once and brought out quite an edition, which sold rapidly and was followed by another and larger edition. This went off quite as quickly as the first. When the first royalty date came to hand we sent the author a check for £50, and five minutes after mailing it learned that the fellow had blown his brains out. As far as could be learned, he left no family and all his property went to the government, our check with the rest of it, and as a matter of fact we have been paying the government from £11 to £50 a year royalty on that book ever since."
"Rather singular that," said Parler. "The idea of a government getting royalties on a volume of poems strikes me as something new."
"The idea of anybody getting royalties on a volume of poems these days, strikes me as novel," said Jemmlson. "I don't think anything like that happens in this country."
"Americans haven't time to read poetry, that's why," said Harlow. "Look at me, for instance. I can take a poem by almost any poet in the United States, or out of it, and read it through, but as for getting at the sense of the stuff, that's a thing I haven't time for. People here live in a hurry and haven't..."
"HALF A DOZEN MEN I KNEW WELL." "Time for puzzle," and when they read, it isn't merely for the purpose of exercising their eyes. If you verse writers would write the kind of stuff that can be grasped in a minute, at one sitting, as it were, simple sentiment like that in the rhymed advertisements in the newspapers or on the advertising panels of the streetcars, you'd be "much more appreciated."
"There's a good deal in what Caddy says," asserted Dr. Robinson. "Most modern verse is of the hide and seek variety. The poet selects a thought, conceals it in a sonnet, and sends the result out into the world. In England, where there is a leisure class, there are people who have the time to sit down and work the thing out, but here we have no such class, and what an American cannot comprehend at a glance he doesn't care to have at all. The average reader of this kind always suffers after reacting a poem from a sort of 'where am I at? perplexity,' which he doesn't relish exactly, it makes him feel as if he were suffering from paresis when he reads a poem and cannot comprehend it, the consequence of which is that he looks upon all poetry very much as a spirited horse looks upon a steam stone crusher. He won't go any closer to it than he has to and passes it by on the dead run unless he is compelled to do otherwise."
"You ought to write a series of guidebooks to Modern Poets," suggested Jackson. "Call yourself the Bacchus of the Poets, and wade right in."
"I should certainly be pleased to undertake the publication of such a series for England, Dr. Robinson," observed Mr. Douverle, with a smile. "They would form the nucleus of a library of humor that I have had in contemplation for a number of years."
"Did I understand you to say that you had had some embarrassing experiences, Mr. Douverle?" asked Lieutenant Gerald.
"Yes," said Douverle. "One or two. One of them was not only embarrassing, but costly. I had a book of poems once by Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley, and a dozen other famous poets all ready for publication and had to withdraw it. I had a new reader, a very charming old gentleman with a bad memory. He got me into very serious trouble by writing such a strong recommendation for the book that I went ahead with it without reading it myself. It was put in type, printed, bound, announced. Orders had been received for it, but the day before publication something happened which necessitated its withdrawal. I showed a copy of it to a friend and he expressed himself so strongly and portentously that I sent the whole edition into the bins in the storeroom where it lies to this day."
"What was the trouble?" asked Barlow.
"Weren't Coleridge and Wordsworth and Shelley good enough?" asked Barlow.
"They were, indeed, but this book was printed with the name of a certain young poetess of great ambition and little moral sense on the title page but the most singular incident I ever had in publishing was in connection with the works of the talented Miss Hope."
"Ah? Yes! I know her work, and a most extraordinary person she must have been."
"She was," assented Douverle. "She took London by storm. Her first book was a novel of very great force. It came to us in the spring of '33. With it came a modestly expressed letter in a dainty feminine hand asking if we would give it a speedy reading and it possible publish it, since it was her first effort and she was anxious to get a start. She informed us that she was entirely dependent upon what she could earn by her pen for a living; had really no affected home and very few friends. The simplicity of the letter interested me. It was unlike other letters I had received from other beginners, but the difference was in form rather than in substance. What she had to say about her proposed work was with great cleverness and a for the novel, while it was not great, it was far beyond what most writers who lack experience can produce. It was approved unanimously by our readers, and so glowing were their recommendations that I slipped it into my bag and took it off to my best to read, myself. It met my scribe glare in interesting, and despite the difficulties of reading a story of that length in manuscript I went through it from beginning to end in one sitting.
Of course, it was published, and the view of the reading public spoke of its merits as evidenced by its sale was not in any way different from that which our readers and I had taken. The first, second, and third editions went off like hot cakes, and we were besieged by the literary causerie follows for information as to this new star in the firmament of letters. I wrote to the young woman and asked her for some account of her antecedents, and received within a few days a sketch of her life, which was almost as romantic as the story she had published: It was pathetic and humorous, and through it all ran the same delightful quality that had made her book so fetching. Then people began to try to lionize her. Invitations by the dozen were addressed to her in our care, requesting her to honor literary gatherings with her presence. Others wanted her to dine with them. She was elected to honorary membership in certain women's associations but as far as I could gather, never accepted any of them. As time went on, I began to think that it would be a good thing if she should accept some of the attentions the world seemed so ready to lavish upon her, and I ventured to write to her to that effect, excusing myself for interfering on the ground that as her publisher, I took a great deal of interest in her career and thought it due to herself that she should come out of her seclusion as far as she could.
Her reply was full of gratitude for the interest I had taken in her welfare, but she was firm in her refusal to desert the privacy which she so much loved. She was of an extremely diffident disposition, she said. She was wrapped up in her work and had no taste for social diversions. She added that she had another book which she expected to send me shortly, and closed by saying that she hoped I would like it as well as I did the first. Several weeks later, the second book came to hand. It was no more like the first than a Chinaman is like a Frenchman! It was in an entirely different vein, but every bit as good as the first. It was in many ways a complete surprise to me, in the first place, it was a man's book, while the first had been more of a woman's book than anything else. She dealt with the fortunes of a young scion of nobility in the second, and in such a way as seemed to indicate that she knew all about the trials and complications which beset the young men of today, a more or less astonishing acquisition in a girl of her tendency to make a seclusion of herself. Of course, I published the book, and as the first had raised a storm of applause, the second aroused a hurricane of enthusiasm. The magazines began to take notice and Miss Hope's work was in great demand. She met the demand with a supply that was absolutely marvelous. It made no difference what she undertook, she did it well and showed a grasp on subjects of the most diverse kinds. Her poetry was especially taking and her essays were written with a touch which even Lang might envy. All her literary business was, at her request, carried on through our firm, and we had some difficulty in convincing outsiders that our knowledge of the young woman's personality was almost as slight as that of the world.
When she had written a sufficient number of poems to warrant a booklet of them, I proposed that it be issued, and she readily agreed. She compiled them herself; made certain alterations in them which showed that she possessed a nice literary instinct; added a few unpublished verses to the lot and sent them in. As the book was about ready for the press, it occurred to me that a photograph of the author would make a good frontispiece of it. Miss Hope demurred for a while to this. She had never had her photograph taken, she wrote, and was of the opinion that it would add little to the value of the book anyhow. She wished to be judged by her work alone. Her personal appearance had nothing whatever to do with that, and on the whole, she preferred not to let the public into the secret of how she looked. This struck me as being sensible and I did not press the point, although I was much disappointed.
It happened after awhile, however, that she was forced to permit an authentic portrait of herself to be published. Some irresponsible American newspaper syndicate pirated the second book, and in connection with it flooded the United States with a wholly fabricated woodcut of Miss Hope, which would have driven any other creature to suicide. One of these was sent to me by an American friend, and I immediately forwarded it to the fair original with a jesting note, expressing my regret that she should thus have favored the American public, while denying to her countrymen the coveted privilege of gazing upon her counterfeit presence. This had the desired effect, and within two weeks, I was in possession of a photograph of Miss Hope, with permission to publish it as the frontispiece to a volume of essays which we were making ready.
When I saw the photograph, I became more interested in Miss Hope than ever, for it was the face of a charming girl of about 20 that looked back at me from the print. She appeared to be of a blonde type; had deep, soulful eyes, a wealth of hair arranged tastefully over a high, intellectual forehead; a slightly irregular nose, and a mouth which indicated much firmness of character, to me the essays became the least part of the book when used with that opposite the title page, and my susceptibilities made me think of a possible Mrs. Hoverland, who should be a woman of exceptional mold.
So a year went on. The popularity of the young authoress suffered no diminution; it increased rather, until one day I received a short note from her stating that she was in London and would be pleased to have me call, fixing the hour and date. No sooner was this received than a reply accepting her invitation was sent, though when I came to address the reply, which task I did not dare in entrust to the hands of a clerk, I was somewhat disturbed to discover where the fair visitor was to be found. It was in one of the most popular and busiest streets of London, the last place in the world where a jewel of humanity such as I had come to think of her as being, should find lodgings.
"An eccentricity of statue," I thought, and then busied myself with other things until the hour appointed. I dressed with unusual care, called at the hour mentioned and found the house. I was received at the door by an aged woman who smiled her broadly, I thought, when I asked if Miss Hope was in. "She is, sir," replied the aged woman.
"Wouldn't you better take my card to her first?" I asked.
"No, sir," replied the aged woman.
Jty borders was to show you up as soon as you came -
"So up I went through two dark halls, along three dark stairways, and tapped gently upon the door of the 'front' room. Instead of the soft silvery voice I had expected, for I had been thinking so much about Miss Hope of late, that I had a well-developed notion in my mind as to her voice, manner, walk, gestures, and so forth. I heard a gruff, masculine voice cry out, 'come in', and having come close after you the door.'
"For a moment I was staggered. Perhaps I had tapped on the wrong door. The thing to do was to apologize and get out. So I opened the door and saw sitting around a table playing cards and smoking profusely a half dozen men I knew well, Gaston of the "Rambler", Cholmondeley, Phillips of the "Telegram", and others all enormously clever men of decidedly Bohemian instincts.
"'Halloo, Bouverie, cried Gaston as I entered. 'Glad to see you. This is an unexpected pleasure.'
"'It certainly is for me,' I answered as well as I could, considering my surprise. 'I had no intention of disturbing you, I am sure. I came here to make a call on one of our authors. I believe he has rooms in this house.'
"Phillips laughed in a way I did not fancy very much, and then he said in a way I liked still less, 'Her'.
"'I don't understand you,' I said.
"'You said you believed he had rooms in this house. Sure it's a he, Bouverie?'
"'Well,' I said slowly, for an idea was beginning to dawn on my mind. 'I wasn't sure of it when I spoke, but'
"'There are no rooms let in this house, Bouverie,' said Gaston, 'We have it all. This is our card room and you are welcome, in fact, Bouverie, you've paid for most of it.'
"'How I queried, a little mystified.
"'Yes,' returned Gaston, 'you and the British public. Those blasted Americans didn't pay for the stuff, did they, Phlppsy?'
"'They did not,' said Phillips; 'but they printed our photograph for us.'
"'Well,' I put in. 'This is all very serious unless I have been made the victim of a practical joke.'
"'You have,' said Gaston.
"'And you gentlemen then are the talented Miss Hope at your service, Bouverie,' said Phillips and (then the sextet rose up and salaamed) 'do you think our photograph looks like us?' they cried.
"And so it was. Those six villains had concocted Miss Hope; had written her books, had started the furor for her work in their own papers, and I was their victim."
"Victim or beneficiary?" asked Jackson.
"A little of both," returned Bouverie. "So much of one that I forgave them for making me a little of the other; but from that time on the talented Miss Hope stopped writing."
IMPRECISIONS.
A quaint, humor-loving preacher among the early Methodists of southern Indiana was one of the name of Jones, and at one time a visiting minister filled the appointment with him. When during the sermon an amusing incident occurred, which was enjoyed to its fullest extent by Rev. Jones. The minister was lamenting the Infidelity of the times, and lifting his hands in holy horror, exclaimed: "Why, brethren, there are men in those later generations who do not believe that Jonah swallowed the whale! But I believe that Jonah swallowed the whale, and you believe that Jonah swallowed the whale!"
Noticing the half amused, half doubtful expression on the faces of his congregation, he warmed up, and, thinking to add a clincher to the assertion, turned to his friend in the pulpit with him:
"And you believe it also, brother Jones!"
Without relaxing a muscle, Brother Jones answered solemnly:
"No, brother."
The jaw of the astonished preacher dropped; he fairly gasped for breath, and finally cried out:
"What! Do you not believe that Jonah swallowed the Whale?" Still, sticking to his transposition.
"No, brother," with the utmost solemnity answered Rev. Jones. "I believe that it was the whale that swallowed Jonah."
The blundering minister gazed at him stupidly for a moment, then suddenly grasping the whole situation, he joined the congregation in a quiet laugh.
"What's the matter with that mule?" asked a man who was standing off the bank of the canal. "He doesn't seem to mind of any account whatever."
"He's all right," replied the boatman.
"The fault's with me," the man continued. "You see, mister, he understands every word you say to him."
"He doesn't pay much attention to what you say," the boatman returned.
"That's what shows his intelligence. I've just joined church, and he thinks I'm a stranger."
"You ought to have been at the prayer meeting last night," said Deacon Sowburns to Bill Abernathy.
"Bill Abernathy got up and told how he had forgiven you for that hogshead you sold him."
"Oh, yes," said Deacon Podberry, "he forgave me all right enough, but all the same he hasn't paid for the hogshead."
"Was Miss Fillampoy pleased with the new minister?"
"Oh, dear, yes, I'm sure from what she said."
"What was it?"
"She thought his sermon was so cute."
"That was a finished sermon," remarked a lady as she came out of church yesterday.
"Yes," said her husband, "but I was afraid it never would be."
Helen Gould has a club. It is for bowling. Last winter she formed a private class in bowling, which met on Monday nights at the Berkeley Ladies club for practice. There were only about a dozen in the class, and, unfortunately for Miss Gould, she was either ill or out of town nearly every night during the season. She hired two substitutes for her friends, so that the game could be set up while the sport was going on in the other, Miss Gould is strong enough to be an expert bowler. An alley recently built on her Tarrytown premises costs $10,000 and is as beautifully equipped as the bowling alley at Baltimore, George Vanderbilt's North Carolina home.

October 1831.
Of course, I had many conversations with
Madam Blanc, during the two weeks that we
spent together on an Arkansas plantation;
but of one only did I take any notes.
"Tell me," I have told you what? said she.
"So many times that I love America. I have
only seen the east, It seems to me. In Boston,
I was at Mrs. Telford's house. Mrs. Telford's
Saturdays are delightful, she gathers about
her the most interesting men and women in
Boston. That house seems to me nearer a
French salon of the best time than any that I
know in France and there flow through it like
historical shadows such living remembrances
of those who were great men for the whole
world; Dickens and Thackeray to speak only
of those two. You meet them through their
photographs and autographs and through
anecdotes, charmingly told by a woman who
has the gift of enthusiasm, enthusiasm in
poetry, in art, in charity, for she is in a
mysterious way an every day philanthropist.
In New York also, at Mrs. Glider's, I was charmed with the miscellaneous people whom I got acquainted with; all countries, all creeds and the most various talents meeting in the poet's home, during one short afternoon of talk, tea and music. We had even a genuine Indian among us, who was a perfect gentleman although an Apache, perhaps because some Indians can be stately, everyone knows that through Chateaubriand. The vendor has to see them keep their stateliness in a dress coat.
CHICAGO PHILANTHROPY.
"I talked with some elegant society women in Chicago, and with very clever ones, too. Don't you like Miss Monroe's poems? And she has the face of a poetess, which spoils nothing there are so many ugly Corinnes and Sapphos that It is a relief to meet with a young and fair one. By the way, I met with an angel, which, you know, is a rare treat - a western angel, of course. You have heard of Miss Addams and her settlement!"
"I would have wished to be worthy of helping in her home. Would you imagine that Chicago society men are willing to go and live there among the poor and the anarchists for days or weeks, at a time? Yet I know of young Chicago lawyers who do that and it is great social work. In the world, they are perfectly simple and like other men, of wealth and position; but without boasting of it, they are living this self-denying life. I found that very noble."
"What did you, on the whole, find most striking in American society? I am ashamed of that question, but I don't quite know how to put it better."
"That would be hard to answer," said Mrs. Blanc, musingly, "your society is like your country, so diversified in its aims and interests. The charm of New Orleans, where I lived like in fairyland at the fanciful time of carnival and the calm, sober charm of Boston, for instance, are quite different. But one thing struck me, everywhere, in all the different social circles; and it certainly impressed me deeply; that was the part played by women. They are the society leaders. And this struck me too very vividly: the women in your country are so interested in each other; they were as witty, as brilliant at the ladies' luncheons where there were only women as if they had an audience of men. I fear we might get a little bored, in France, shining for three hours without a man to hear our best thing. But your women seem to like it. I find the friendships among women beautiful here, above all when there is not that little touch of exaggeration, which rather spoils them sometimes. Friendship has nothing to do with passion and is not the less strong, for that, I think. The chief point is to be able to trust each other, and I know we do. There is a great deal of true, solid devotion between women friends in America. More than once I have seen two of them who spent part of all of their time together. This could hardly be in France. There one would not be likely to have a chance to form such a close intimacy with another woman. Our customs do not encourage it, and French husbands would not be pleased that their wives should have very close woman friends. The wife might confide too much of her husband's little errors as a husband, you know," she added smiling.
"Oh," I could not help interrupting, "I should fancy that woman would be a less dangerous recipient of her confidences than a handsome young man, and her pity would be far less dangerous!"
"Perhaps," said my French friend, smiling, "but he is less afraid of the man than of the woman."
"Women, I dare say, have less liberty in France, anyhow?"
"They are less emancipated; but I hardly think that they have less power. Do you know one thing? Your men are admirable, I am fond of them; they are so kind to women, to women everywhere, irrespective of the woman's youth or looks or condition; yet I really don't think they are so interested in women as are French men. When two Americans meet, by chance, they talk of politics or the business situation or the like; they would never think of discussing women," cried I, opening my eyes.
"Surely not!" said Mrs. Blanc, dryly. "The comment came involuntarily from the flatterer: "American men have something more important to talk about than American women. They have to talk about getting the money to support the American woman. I can see that this trait must make a French lover or husband a very delightful person while his emotions lasted! Tell me another thing; do the novelists paint French women truly?"
She grew grave, "May I say that that depends on the life of the writer? I don't see how a man whose whole acquaintance has been with a bad type of women can understand the soul of an innocent girl or a pure wife. He is only familiar with the unregulated impulses and the hysterical affections of the women whom he has known best. He paints with colors dipped out of his own heart; the result is vivid, impressive, but not always true. And it is of necessity narrow."
"I suppose the woman described is usually the Parisienne; I have found a difference between the life of the provinces and the city life as there is here!"
"Oh, quiet," she answered, "provincial life is free from the faults with which Paris is reproached, but I admit there is more chivalry then. Society is more divided. Then you will find always the same little knots, the circles of the old aristocracy, of the bourgeoisie and family of the tradespeople.

"I suppose it is very different from our country life."
"Not so different as you may fancy. There are points of resemblances between the southern country life and life in our provinces."
"There is the same hospitality. I find many of the same frank virtues and the same spirit of kindliness between different classes. Your negroes, you tell me, have the habit of calling their masters and mistresses familiarly by their Christian names; so, too, the French peasants would speak, if the sons of the house, calling Monsieur Henri or Monsieur Louis, although they might have a title, just as your negroes would say Mr. Henry, Miss Mary."
AMERICAN LITERATURE PREFERRED.
I felt encouraged to ask whether the French critics were most attracted at present by English or American literature. And it was pleasant to hear from the good and safe Judge that it was the literature of America that attracted most attention.
"Oh, to be sure," she said, "a man like Dickens will have suddenly a name, but it is you who will allow me, a novel like Robert Elsmero will never greatly interest France."
"And how about David Copperfield?" I asked.
"David Copperfield has so many mistakes, about the Paris part. And that sort of wild devil, his sister why, no woman is so naughty all the time. It becomes insupportable!"
GENIUS OF MAUPASSANT.
I laughed; and in a minute she added, "What interests us in France, above all, in our American life, is that it is a new window opened upon the world. It is your novel view; and then it is your freshness and your uniqueness. We like these qualities of American writers very much. Yes, what I think so splendid is your taking, each of you, your own corner and carefully studying it. You are doing for literature what the scientists of this century do in science."
"Has not Maupassant done the same kind of thing with the Norman life?" I asked.
"Yes; but I don't think that he has made us feel a strong love for it, showing us the peasant under rather a comic aspect. Yet, in fact, Maupassant, of all the French writers, was a great provincial. He knew the earth. Zola has slandered her. But Zola, let us do him justice, never belittles anything in calumny, while Maupassant sometimes belittles nature by his contrasts, as where he compares the harvest fields, unadulterated, to the cheek of a man who has just shaved himself. He has been reproached with that image. It is true, however, now the magnifying eye of Zola would neither see the harvest field on the man's cheek, and it would have been true also. There are splendid parts of description in Maupassant's longer novels, but he touches many of the most painful questions of morals without seeming to call attention to them. He has not preached nor given advice, but he has forced people to think! Take the tale of La Fille, with the man in it who so cynically and carelessly wrongs the peasant girl in a village through which he is merely passing. He goes away and forgets; but years after, when he returns by chance to the same village, he finds that the girl is dead of what you would call a broken heart, and working in the fields he sees her son, a repulsive idiot, in whose hideous features he perceives, nevertheless, a resemblance to his own. In the remorse that sweeps over him, he would help the wretch, he would give him money but he cannot do even that; for the idiot is a drunkard, a debased offspring of violence and lust; money would only be a harm to him! It is a theme of sin, and its consequences have been treated by innumerable hands; but in none with such tragic sorrow. Maupassant is very human, there is his strength. I cannot deny his faults. There are many painful things in his tales, many coarse details, much that seems useless in his frankness. But underneath it all, there is something that wrings the heart!"
"Yes," I said, "I have felt it a hundred times. Do you not think, also, that more than most French writers he has a sense of humor?"
"Oh, surely. He is a little cruel in his humor, sometimes, and often he is sad, but it is humor, not wit."
Mr. Dunnor had seen that. I think. In his paraphrase of Maupassant, called Told in France, he has rendered the Norman humor most enchantingly into United States forms; it is awfully good. I find the first story about the French tenor with a wife! a little overdrawn. That funny English the Frenchman talks is very funny though. And very true to life, too. Yes, when I read that I can hear myself talking; I say that is the way I pronounce words." She was laughing good-naturedly.
"Well, it isn't then," I answered with entire honesty, for it is only occasionally that a French intonation, as pretty as it is droll, attracts the listener's attention; while her mastery of English idioms was a constant wonder to me, "you speak lovely English; and you know all the shades in our speech, you always use the right adjective."
"Oh, but I have spoken English ever since a child, and always have loved the English literature since my English governess gave me the Waverley novels to read. My mother would not have permitted me to read French novels, but she has great confidence in the English writers. And wherever in any books she thought there was something that a child should not read, she pinned the pages together; to this day when I read those books, I remember the looks of those pins in the pages."
I led the conversation back to the French writers, to the symbolists and the decadents and the realists, but I cannot repeat what Mme. Diane said; for just then the black man grinned at the door to announce that the cart was ready; and we went to drive.

The sporting editor Is Indebted to Nathan
Kirk Grlggs of Lincoln for a copy ot his
handsome little volume entitled "The Lyrics
ot the Lariat , " a collection ot original puctns
touching upon the varied romantic phases
of life In tfii : wild -west. Many ot Mr.
Grlggs' effusions arc gems of purest ray
serene , among which should bo conspicu
ously ment oncd "A Thirty Years' Dream. "
"Tho Cowboy" and "The Hobo , " the first
named In particular containing much beauti
ful poetic Bf-ntlment. That Laureat Grlggs
Is n veritable genius will be recognized when
It Is Btati > d that he has had all of his poems
set to original music , which ho carries about
with him In a Russia leather portfolio , anil
being the legal luminary of the II. & M
railroad he Is pretty much -on th go. Ho
not only carries this music with him , but
cuts It loose on the slightest provocation , en
tertaining whomsoever caught within the lim
its of his very stentorian and not unmelodl-
ous voice. Wo wcro among his auditors in
a Pullman cnrouto to the sand hill ducking
grounds a couple of weeks ago and listened
with a degree of ecstatic rapture to about
everything lie know , There are but two
drawbacks to Poet Orlggs * vocalization , one
of which la a rather Irksome homogeneous-
ncss of tune nnd the other that ho has been
a victim of laryngotrachcotomy , which cuts
high pranks w th his blrdllko voice at fre
quent and d'sheartenlng ' Intervals. When
vro met the poet songster he was evidently
on an elccllon.-crlnff tour for his road ami
Tommy -Majors , for at almost every station
ho made earth and atmosphere quaver with
a choice selection entitled "Ilosey on the
Hun. " which he continued until the small
hours of the morning and until the poor Im
prisoned Pullman passengers , among whom
were many ladles , unitedly appealed to the
gentlemanly conductor to have him corked.
But the "con" wasn't equal to the emergency ,
When Poet Griggs discovered that his helpless -
loss victims were rapidly evincing symptoms
of , paralysis he resorted to the smoking com
partment nnd continued his operatic center
tions. Inwhich Ilosey. Tommy , the cowboy
and the Hnbo suffered In about equal meas
ure , until from Rheer exhaustion ho quit.

and after emptying his Winchester at him
without any visible effect Mr. Druln chal
lenged Mr. Fuller to a hand to hand conflict.
Nothing daunted , Fred drew his broatl-
btaded knife and advanced to meet his
attngonlst. Ho got within range and was
about to ptungo the glittering stocl where It
would do > the most good when the grizzly
tlde-Btepped him , a la Corbett. And hit him
& twlpo with hla tiam-llkn paw alongside the
Cob with such force that Frederlckus went
flying-over the rocks like the projectile from
a catapult. Ho tell just 913 feet anil would

Sunday , Oct. 21. To the Sporting Editor
of The nee : Many times during the past
few ycars'l liavo seen mention made of the
clean sweep made by the Cincinnati lied
Stockings during Its memorable trip through
the cast , and all have agreed with Harry
Wright , aa noted In your columns of today's
Issue , that their record ot victories was not
marred by a single defeat. Let mo tell you
a llttlo story.
In the spring of 1870 the writer , with an
other joungster ( from New York ) , was readIng -
Ing hi New Mexico an account of the con
templated trip of the Reds. Some animated
discussion arose na to their prospects , which
resulted In the Now York boy ottering : to
pick a club to beat them for an X. While not
especially In that line of business the Invest
ment seemed too promising to be allowed to
e-lip by , hence wus cinched with n board of
trade celerity. Young Now York naturally
named the " .Mutuals. "
Later when the Reds li.id donned their war
paint , and were dally adding tu their string
of scalps , we watched their campaign with
just $20 more- interest than some others.
When the morning of the day arrived on
which they were to play in Now York my
young speculator called over hurriedly to see
mo for permission to chhnge his bet to an
other club. He had noticed the names of
some new players with the Mutuals , In his
last Now York paper , and not being ac
quainted with them wanted his money to go
with the A tl.i n tics of Brooklyn. "Barkis
being willin' , " the change ivua duly made.
Tlmt night , or rather afternoon , there being
about three hours difference In tlmo. we
cimpcd In tlie little telegraph office until the
operator had caught the result ot the game ,
as li was passing over the wires. The Mu
tuals nun !
Later In the year when1 we were reading
detailed accounts of the most wonderful base
ball trip ever made , Mntlhew J. H. McFar-
land of New York used to sigh to think how
nirrowly ho escaped being n prophet , not to
mention the twenty. He picked tlie only
.club that wona game , and then threw It
away at the last moment. C L. W.
Arllo I.utlmm Tnlk * a lilt.
Arlte Latham , the well known third base
man of the Cincinnati National League team ,
wul the acknowledged buffoon of the- diamond
mend , was hcr6 the past week with the Con-
roy & Fox Specialty company. All the base
ball fans turned out to sec Arlle , of course ,
but the unanimous- verdict was that he Is
nothing Ilko the success In his studied lines
that he la In. his Impromptu Improvisations
on the ball fleid.
In speaklnK of the alleged new American
association , Latham said : "Would I sign
with them ? Yes , if they'll give mo $5,000
a year in advance , and sign me for u period
of five years , but under no other circum
stances. The thing's no good , and can't
go , 560 ! It Is fathered by a lot of old sore
head , played-out baseball hangers on. and
has been inaugurated with na honest motive.
My Idea is that Billy Barnle , the
Bald-headed Eagle of tha Chesapeake ,
and Freddy Puffed-up Pfeffer would
Ilko to have somebody buy 'em out , but what
they have got to sell la one of those things
no fellow can find out. There may possibly
tie come kind of a new association arranged ,
but depend upon It , It will result In na good
to the game or anybody else , and will con
sequently bo but short lived. "
"Will I be with the Cincinnati next year ?
I think so , but cannot say positively. I like
Cincinnati well cnoucli. but there is a part
of Cincinnati that don't Ilko me. Comlskey ,
I can't tell you anything about Mm. Mul-
ford. Weldon , Athony and the- rest of the
newspaper gang down there liavo been turn-
In c him over awfully lately , and It would
not bo surprising lf ' Commy Is very sore.
If he puts a Western'League team In Omaha ,
you people can depend upon it that It will
be a good one , and that they will have a
base ball magnates they may well bo proud
of. "
IVant Umulia to Jlne.
Jimmy Manning , manager of the Kansas
City Western leagua team , and one of the
committee of three appointed at the late
Chicago meeting1 to fill the allegeO vacancy
caused by the kicking ot Bloux City out Into
the cold .world , has written Irom Ms home
In Fall River to President Rowe asking him
to join forces with the Western league for
next year , Mr. Manning Kays that organiza
tion wants Omaha like a man In Texas wants
a revolver , and they are -willing to make al
most any kind of concessions to get the
Gate City In. But U strikes a man up a
fre that the genial Jimmy Is counting tils
chickens before they've been hatched. Sioux
CMy claims , she Is not out of tha Western
yet by a long shot , and , what's more , she is
not going out unless aha Is amply and satis
factorily compensated for the departure. She
claims that the league cannot put her out
unless they waive all claims on their players
for next year ; In other words , the league
must disband before any member can be
gotten rid of , and when they do this away
goes all reservation of ptayors. That Sioux
City holds th key to the situation there'
seems to bo llttlo doubt , and before the
Western league proceeds with the work of
tilling her place they must produce. Whether
this Is the case absolutely or not it U
ardently hoped so , for the treatment of Iho
Corn Iluskcrs , who we * the pennant with
out turning a hair and stood by Iho helm
nobly until the season tvas played out , was ,
to aay the least , despicable.
In response to Manning solicitations Presi
dent. Roive > asked for a full and complete
statement as la the modus ot conducting the
Western league , adding that when he re
ceived this "he would be lu a position to talk
Intelligently.

President Uowo will cilt a meeting of the
Western association clubs at Rock Island
on or about the 10th of November. The
meeting would have been called ere this

association would take , but asall danger
from thla body seems now to have about
passed , ho will announce tha data for tbo
coming meeting this week. The business to
be transacted will embrace tha winding up
of the pajt , season's affairs , awarding tue
pennant for ' 95 to Ilock. Island ; and & sub

The Uoya with filming Blnnca.
The American League ot Professional K6ot
Dall Clnbs has proved a failure , and th * only-
reason assigned Is that the teagup. yas .badly
organized at the start and. haa. never been
proporlr on Us ftot. at all. A prominent
officer at the league said that It did not even

prlzo In his races he always manages to run
In place. Ills winnings , if converted Into
dollars and cents , would run far up Into

The factional strife In Nebrasl u dlvlilon
goes merrily on between the candidates
backed up by their constituents The op

while the regularly nominated ticket does
not let any opportunity rest to make hay.
To a man Iq it ballooou , however , It looks

letter will explain itself ;
Two "class A. " atalo records were clipped
at Grind Island during the Pukwana Cycle
club's meet on the 18th. Arthur R. Weter
of Grand Island lowered tha quarter mile
record to ,34 seconds flat , and O. L. Stevens
shaved off a second from the one mile record
In competition , his tlmo being 2:28J. : J. The
first record was held by Lester Q. Holton of
Omaha and the second by A. L. Proulx of
Omaha. At the same meet II. K. Fredrlck-
s n lowered his o Y Nebraska record of
1:14 3-5 to 1:13 : for the half mile. This Is
not the state record for the distance/ how
ever , as Ora Hayman of Grand Island suc
ceeded in lowering the record a few notches
further , his tlmo being 1:11 : % . The cycling
editor of The Bee la now engaged In com
piling a table of Nebraska state records In
comparison with the records of Colorado ,

The rain of Saturday night caused Captain
Walker of the Tourists to postpone last
Sunday's trip to Crescent City. The riding
season of this dlub Is rapidly drawing to a
plose. only one month moro of riding and
the mileage books wlll b closed for 1894.
Captain Walker , whlta greatly disappointed
at the small amount of mileage ma do by the
elub this season , Is 'gild that It exceeds the
mileage made by tlie other city clubs. The
lesson has bt n a poor' one for cycling , many
things combining lo decrease the attendance
on club runs. Tbo contest for the club
m&dals , while not 'as' spirited as ( n past
seasons , has been clfss enough to be enJoyed -
Joyed by all contented. Captain Walker
leads by a small piargln of miles and wilt
no doubt wear the 1894 club medal. Three
other prices , donated by K. I' . Walker , M
O. Daxon and H K. Sfnllli. will be awarded
to the next best men In order named. Tlio
winners of these ar& yet an uncertainly. 1C
the fair weather prevails during the closing
[ month of the season th& position ot the
leaders Vll ( be materially changed.
Wo are now ready to fulfill our portion
of the program and name Kearney , Neb. ,
as the city for ; the contest and Thanksgiving
Jay'as the date , The prize to be- eight high
; rado wheels , four to be contributed by Mr.
Barnett and his friends and four by Mr.
II Ills and his friends , one ot each to be
lasted Immediately with K. It. Andrews of
ho City National bank as a forfeit In case
either contestant withdraws. The race to be
sanctioned by the L. A. "VV. and run under
Its rules. If Barrett really wants the race
let him come to the front. Respectfully ,
W. B. WALKER.
The selection of referee , judges and timers
will of course bo ana of the minor details
ret Jo be arranged. The retail price of one
high grade wheel Is $125 , therefore the
winner will take away with him a cool
(1,000 ( worth of bicycles , There has been
considerable talk on both sides as to the
relative ) speed of each principal and now that
Ilia chance Is open for a good , fair trial the
boys ought not to be a bit backward about
entering the match. Barnett has demon
strated his ability as a handicap racer , has
defeated some of the best men In the country ,
ind , with his speed , endurance and ex
perience , ought to win , while on the other
liand. Mills is an antagonist not to be
despised ; ho Is young , speedy , lias plenty of
grit and cndurnrce , and , with hla advantage
of 200 yards , ought to make It exceedingly
hot for the Lincoln man. Should tha race
come off , as it probably will , large numbers
ot wheelmen will be In attendance Irom over
the state.

races , which occured on October 10 , are cor

Ulio M the lionu FId Champ ?
We qulto agree with Dlueblll , says the
American Field of October 27 , who last week
In a communication In the American Field
said that the question as to who Is champion
live bird shot of the United States thoutd bo
settled on neutral grounds , and that John
Watson's grounds at Hurnilde. III. , are at
good ground * ns can b found for u matcher
or a series of matches to determine this much
disputed question of champion live bird shot
of this country , Mr. Watson Is acknowledged
to have at fast grounds aa can be found any
where he can furnish as good birds as any
one ; his grounds are fitted up with the must
approved traps and other appliances necessary
for a , great match of this kind , and ho has
the unquestioned reputation of giving erery
man who goes to his park for a contest ,
whether for sport , for a wager or for natlona
honors , tha squarest kind of a deal. With al
this , what moro can the aspirants for cham
pionship honors ask ? If a fair hand and no
favors , good birds , the best of traps and the
swiftest grounds In America ar cot what are
needed to dotortnlno who U the- champion , un
der what conditions , on what kind of grounds
and over what kind of traps should such
honors be determined ? There can bo but one
champion live bird shot of the United States ,
and if there are yet thuse who dispute Mr.
J. A. n. Elliott's claim to the title , and he
> e 'agreeable to the arrangement , why should
tot the disputants to his claim meet him at
Watson's shooting grounds some tlmo be
tween now and March 1. 189S , and settle the
question ? Good birds can be had any time
now and that U what all the would-be cliam-

In referring to tha rapid disappearance of
the chicken E. II. Maberly , D. D. S. , of
Holdrege , this state , says : "Up to 1892 we
always had fine prairie chicken shooting in
this part of Nebraska. To give you an Idea
of the number of birds that were here then
I will gay that on my first trip in ISO ? after
these noble birds only three miles from
town my companion and I found three
coveys In the lirst field we entered. Going
from that Into the next , across the section
line went , two moro coveys were found , and
crossing into the adjoining Hold north two
more. Five coveys ; In all about seventy-five
birds. Enough shooting for a whole season.
Since that tlmo , or In the seasons of 1893-91 ,
we find hardly any birds. They seem to
have vanished all at once. We have no
market hunters In this locality , mr ever have
had , GO It cannot be laid at their doors.
Now the question arises what has become of
them ? In the winter following that season
I saw enough birds "packed" to have at
least batched l.COO young at ten birds to the
hatching , and yet In "the fall of the same
year In that locality I could hardly find a
bird. I have a theory. Our prairie Is being
broken up until there is hardly any good
place for hatching , and this , with the burnIng -
Ing off of the prairie In spring of Iho year ,
has driven our birds west. In the two
years above referred lo I have taken a trip
each year to the western part of the state
to hunt with friends from Cheyenne , and this
Is our experience with the aharptall grouse.
In 1892 the birds wo found were about equally
divided between pinnated grouse ( prairie
chickens ) and aharptalt grouse. In 1893 , out
of 10& birds shot by a party of nvo on the
same grounds , dye only were Bhtrplulls. My
conclusion Is that both these- noble birds
are yearly drifting farther west , for at u
point thirty miles west the proportion was
at the point east tha preceding season.
When the plow and the burning off of the
prairies In order lo make sod breaking moro
easy shall liava driven these grand birds to
the Rockies , It looks u though , these klnge
ot the fcnthcreil trlbo will trulr becom <
extinct , at least so tar as enough for sport
1s concerned. "

Robert and John Patrick, Dick Derlin and
Fred Montmorency constituted a little camping party up the Platte a few days ago.
They were in the stubble and brush but one
day, and over the Patrick and Montmorency setters banged seventy-six quail. The
camping outfit of the Patricks is said to be
a model in its way.
R. A. Shepherd and A. E. Kimball of
this city, and H. S. W of Chicago
have returned from a week's duck shoot
among the lakes in the vicinity of Gordon.
Like the majority of other wild fowl shoots
they report a scarcity of both birds and
water, yet scored a satisfactory kill, considering these conditions.
Frank S. Parmalee and the writer will
attend the big special trap shoot at Chicago
cage in November, and it may be the local
champion will try conclusions with Captain
Blowhard Brewer and one or two other top-
called world beaters. Captain Brewer has
a $260 forfeit up in the Windy City for a
match with Parmalee, Elliott or Fullord,
and the probabilities are that each gentleman
named will go after him. He already
has a match arranged with Charlie Budd,
and the prospects are good for the greatest
convocation of famous wing shots ever known
in this country.
Captain Charles H. Townsend and son
the constable Hilly of the Cross Gun
company bagged thirty-three quail on the
town side last Monday afternoon. They are
in the field with Major Jenkins near Columbus today.
The sporting editor is indebted to Nathan
Kirk Griggs of Lincoln for a copy of his
handsome little volume entitled "The Lyrics
of the Lariat," a collection of original poems
touching upon the varied romantic phases
of life in the wild west. Many of Mr.
Griggs' effusions are gems of purest ray
serene, among which should be conspicuously
mentioned "A Thirty Years' Dream."
"The Cowboy" and "The Hobo," the first
named in particular containing much beautiful
poetic sentiment. That Laureate Griggs
is a veritable genius will be recognized when
it is stated that he has had all of his poems
set to original music, which he carries about
with him in a Russia leather portfolio, and
being the legal luminary of the H. & M
railroad he is pretty much on the go. He
not only carries this music with him, but
cuts it loose on the slightest provocation, entertaining
whomsoever caught within the limits of his very stentorian and not unmusical voice. We
were among his auditors in a Pullman car en route to the sandhill ducking grounds a couple of weeks ago and listened
with a degree of ecstatic rapture to about
everything he knew, There are but two
drawbacks to Poet Griggs' vocalization, one
of which is a rather irksome homogeneity of tune and the other that he has been
a victim of laryngotracheotomy, which cuts
high pranks with his birdlike voice at frequent and disheartening intervals. When we met the poet songster he was evidently
on an election-eering tour for his road and
Tommy - Majors, for at almost every station
he made earth and atmosphere quiver with
a choice selection entitled "Rouse on the
Hun." which he continued until the small
hours of the morning and until the poor imprisoned Pullman passengers, among whom
were many ladies, unitedly appealed to the
gentlemanly conductor to have him corked.
But the "con" wasn't equal to the emergency,
When Poet Griggs discovered that his helpless
loss victims were rapidly evincing symptoms
of paralysis he resorted to the smoking compartment and continued his operatic center
tions. In which Rouse, Tommy, the cowboy
and the Hobo suffered in about equal measure,
until from sheer exhaustion he quit.
Percy Ford and A. W. Smeral made an
onslaught on the quail the other day down
about Louisville somewhere, and, both being
experts with the hammerless, of course they
came back with game pockets bulging with
birds.
Fred Fuller, ex-champion rifle shot, Fred
Schroeder, Fred Heft and Fred Mangeout
are still in the Big Horn mountains, hunting grizzly bear, moose, elk and mountain
lions for the English market. On Wednesday of last week Colonel Fuller had a very
close call with a ten-ton grizzly. He got
him cornered in a little crypt in the rocks
and after emptying his Winchester at him
without any visible effect Mr. Druln challenged Mr. Fuller to a hand-to-hand conflict.
Nothing daunted, Fred drew his broad-bladed knife and advanced to meet his antagonist.
He got within range and was
about to plunge the glittering steel where it
would do the most good when the grizzly
side-stepped him, a la Corbett. And hit him
with his claw-like paw alongside the head with such force that Fredericks went
flying over the rocks like the projectile from
a catapult. He fell just 913 feet and would
have been dashed to instant death on the
rocks below had not his breath caught in the
projecting branch of a big hemlock, where
he hung suspended for twenty-four hours,
and whence he was rescued the next evening
by the other three Freds just as he was
about to perish for a drink.
The challenge issued by Captain Brewer
to Killott, Budd and Parmalee has dieted
the following from Elliott, the Kansas City
champion, and which appeared in a late issue
of the American Field:
"I will shoot Mr. Brewer a series of five
races, the same to take place within the next
thirty days, under the following conditions:
Two races to take place in Kansas City, one
at an intermediate point, east or south of
Kansas City, to be mutually agreed upon,
and the remaining two at any point in the
east, to be designated by Mr. Brewer; these
matches to be for $100 each, with an additional $250,
and the world's championship to
go to the one making the highest aggregate
score; each race to be at 100 live birds,
Hurlingham, Gun club or American Shooting
association rules, thirty yards rise and fifty
yards boundary (the American Shooting association's boundary).
Or I will enter a contract with Mr. Brewer and Dr. Carver, or
any other championship aspirant, under the
same conditions as agreed upon between Dr.
Carver and Mr. Brewer for their proposed
matches which are to take place in Chicago.
Three races, 100 birds to the man, each
race, $100 a corner, and $500 each to go to
the man making the highest aggregate score
In the three events, I am willing to enter
this contest with any number of entries,
the winner of each day's shoot to take the stake
of the following day, and the man making the highest
aggregate score in the three contests to take
the additional money bet on the general result,
and all honors of champion wing shot
of the world. To make this proposition good
I enclose a forfeit of $500.

The Interstate Fish Protecting association
of this city and Council Bluffs is formulating
plans for a vigorous campaign for next
year against illegal fishermen of all kinds
and clubs.
Frank S. Parmalee will be the chaperone
of a party of English gunners to the quail
grounds of Kansas, leaving this city the day
after the election. After a week in the stubble,
they will return by way of the goose
grounds along the Upper Platte, where another
week will be spent, then a lusty run made
to the big game preserves of the northwest.
Owing to the long drought, the lovely little lake northeast of West Point has dwindled to the veriest puddle, and the future chances for the glorious microscopic salmonella are a stern indeed. During the past month, many handsome bass were captured there by boys fishing in and scooping them out onto the dock in their net. This was one of the finest bass holes in the whole west, and the local anglers will all lament its present condition. It will require several years for the lake to regain its olden prestige.

The Omaha Whist Club is now in the midst of a very interesting team tournament, and on every club evening, Wednesday and Saturday, their pleasant apartments in The National building are filled with ambitious contestants. The conditions are that each team plays a game with every other team, duplicate whist, and the two teams winning the most games are to be sent to Sioux City January 8 and 9 to represent the Omaha club in the national tournament to be held in that city on the dates mentioned. It is this chance to participate in the competitions the best whist players in the country that is stimulating the local members in such a vigorous manner. Despite the excitement of the gubernatorial campaign, and the almost constant occupation of the business men, the attendance each night is complete. But seldom are there more than one or two teams absent, and the playing has become hot and furious. The rivalry, while intense, is of the friendliest character, and the outcome is yet exceedingly problematical. Up to date, Messrs. Hawks and Melville lead with five straight wins, but with there are many skilled players engaged in the struggle, they are liable to receive a setback at any time. One thing the tournament has unequivocally established, and that which was most sought, is the very material increase, on the part of the members, in their interest in the game, and a general improvement in the outlook and prospects of the club.
Following is the standing of the different teams up to and including the result of Wednesday evening last:
Team Played. Won. Lost.
Farnall and Wheeler 4 1 3

Sunday, Oct. 21. To the Sporting Editor of The Bee: Many times during the past few years have seen mention made of the clean sweep made by the Cincinnati Red Stockings during their memorable trip through the east, and all have agreed with Harry Wright, as noted in your columns of today's Issue, that their record of victories was not marred by a single defeat. Let me tell you a little story.
In the spring of 1870, the writer, with another youngster (from New York), was reading in the New Mexico an account of the contemplated trip of the Reds. Some animated discussion arose as to their prospects, which resulted in the New York boy offering to pick a club to beat them for an X. While not especially in that line of business, the investment seemed too promising to be allowed to slip by, hence was cinched with a board of trade celerity. Young New York naturally named the "Mutuals."
Later, when the Reds had donned their war paint, and were daily adding to their string of scalps, we watched their campaign with just $20 more interest than some others. When the morning of the day arrived on which they were to play in New York, my young speculator called over hurriedly to see me for permission to change his bet to another club. He had noticed the names of some new players with the Mutuals, in his last New York paper, and not being acquainted with them wanted his money to go with the Atlantics of Brooklyn. "Barks being willing," the change was duly made.
That night, or rather afternoon, there being about three hours difference in time, we compiled in the little telegraph office until the operator had caught the result of the game, as it was passing over the wires. The Mutuals won!
Later in the year, when we were reading detailed accounts of the most wonderful baseball trip ever made, Mathew B. (J. H.) McFarland of New York used to sigh to think how narrowly he escaped being a prophet, not to mention the twenty. He picked the only club that won a game, and then threw it away at the last moment. C. L. W.
Arlie Latham Talks a Little.
Arlie Latham, the well-known third baseman of the Cincinnati National League team, was here the past week with the Conroy & Fox Specialty company. All the baseball fans turned out to see Arlie, of course, but the unanimous verdict was that he is nothing like the success in his studied lines that he is in his impromptu improvisations on the ball field.
In speaking of the alleged new American association, Latham said: "Would I sign with them? Yes, if they'll give me $5,000 a year in advance, and sign me for a period of five years, but under no other circumstances. The thing's no good, and can't go, $600! It is fathered by a lot of old sore heads, played-out baseball hangers-on, and has been inaugurated with no honest motive. My idea is that Billy Barnie, the Bald-headed Eagle of the Chesapeake, and Freddie Puffed-up Pfeffer would like to have somebody buy them out, but what they have got to sell is one of those things no fellow can find out. There may possibly be some kind of a new association arranged, but depend upon it, it will result in no good to the game or anybody else, and will consequently be but short-lived."
"Will I be with the Cincinnati next year? I think so, but cannot say positively. I like Cincinnati well enough, but there is a part of Cincinnati that doesn't like me. Comiskey, I can't tell you anything about him. Mulford, Weldon, Anthony, and the rest of the newspaper gang down there have been turning him over to me pretty hard lately, and it would not be surprising if Commy is very sore. If he puts a Western League team in Omaha, you people can depend upon it that it will be a good one, and that they will have a baseball magnate they may well be proud of."
Jimmy Manning, manager of the Kansas City Western League team, and one of the committee of three appointed at the late Chicago meeting to fill the alleged vacancy caused by the kicking out of Sioux City into the cold world, has written from his home in Fall River to President Rowe asking him to join forces with the Western League for next year. Mr. Manning says that organization wants Omaha like a man in Texas wants a revolver, and they are willing to make almost any kind of concessions to get the Gate City in. But it strikes a man up a fret that the genial Jimmy is counting his chickens before they've been hatched. Sioux City claims, she is not out of the Western yet by a long shot, and, what's more, she is not going out unless she is amply and satisfactorily compensated for the departure. She claims that the league cannot put her out unless they waive all claims on their players for next year; in other words, the league must disband before any member can be gotten rid of, and when they do this away goes all reserve of players. That Sioux City holds the key to the situation there seems to be little doubt, and before the Western League proceeds with the work of filling her place they must produce. Whether this is the case absolutely or not it is ardently hoped so, for the treatment of the Corn Huskers, who we know won the pennant without turning a hair and stood by the helm nobly until the season was played out, was, to say the least, despicable.
In response to Manning's solicitations, President Rowe asked for a full and complete statement as to the modus operandi of conducting the Western League, adding that when he received this "he would be in a position to talk intelligently."
November Meeting at Rock Island. President Rowe will call a meeting of the Western Association clubs at Rock Island on or about the 10th of November. The meeting would have been called earlier had not President Rowe thought it best to see what shape the proposed new baseball association would take, but as all danger from this body seems now to have about passed, he will announce the date for the coming meeting this week. The business to be transacted will embrace the winding up of the past season's affairs, awarding the pennant for '95 to Rock Island; and a submission of statements of the condition of the organization. Of course, the prospects for next season will come in for a good deal of discussion as all the probable make-up of the circuit. President Rowe has already been advised that there will be a full attendance, and that all the cities included in this year's circuit are anxious for another whirl at it next year. Whether they will all be retained is a matter for conjecture. There is a growing feeling among those most deeply interested that the circuit must be reorganized every year, or else...

The American League of Professional Foot Ball Clubs has proved a failure, and the only reason assigned is that the league was poorly organized at the start and has never been properly on its feet at all. A prominent officer of the league said that it did not even advertise its games, that it spurned the valuable advice of persons who could have helped to make it a success, and that as a result it has lost over $2,000 in the short time since its inception. The American League of Professional Foot Ball Clubs was promoted by the clubs of New York, Boston, Baltimore, Washington, Brooklyn, and Philadelphia, for the purpose of playing matches during the months of October, November, and December. The league is said to be dead beyond resurrection.
Yale simply annihilated Orange a few days ago while whipping them by a score of 24 to 0. Cornell scored against Princeton on Manhattan Island and was only defeated 12 to 4. The Tigers could do little with the wearers of the red and white.
Wheeling of the Wheel. The Tourists will ride to Millard today, provided, of course, weather permitting. They start from J. O. Dixon's store at 8 o'clock sharp. Dinner at Millard and home early in the afternoon.
KEARNEY, Neb., Oct. 20. Cycling Editor. Omaha Dec.: During my absence from Nebraska, F. Q. Darnell accepted a challenge for a five-mile race between himself and W. C. Mills of Kearney, the latter to have a 200-yard handicap.
Messrs. Williamson, Carothers, Rigdon, and Nichols of the Ganymede Wheel Club, Council Bluffs, inspected Fort Crook last Sunday afternoon. They reported the Bellevue road in good condition despite the soaking rain of Saturday night.
The Touring wheelmen hold their next regular monthly business meeting at the Omaha Guards armory on Wednesday evening, November 7. All members of the club are urgently requested to attend, as matters of importance will be brought up at this meeting.
H. K. Frederiksen of Fremont, the class A champion of Nebraska, is defending his title to the State championship on every occasion offered. He has won more prizes during the season than any man in his class, while he does not always win the first prize in his races but he always manages to run in place. His winnings, if converted into dollars and cents, would run far up into the hundreds.
The factional strife in Nebraska division goes merrily on between the candidates backed up by their constituents. The opposition ticket feels confident of victory, while the regularly nominated ticket does not let any opportunity rest to make hay. To a man, it balances out, however, it looks like a walk-away for the regulars. The present chief consul is a man whom the division members will not turn down.
The example set by the League of American Wheelmen in regard to sign posts might be followed to good advantage by the clubs in these parts. A good, serviceable sign post, erected here and there, giving information as to the direction, and distance of certain towns, would be a convenience and help not only to wheelmen but travelers in general who use the country roads leading out of Omaha and Council Bluffs.
At last, P. O. Barnett, the Lincoln flyer, and W. C. Mills, the Kearney speeder, are to meet in a match race for a prize that would make the average racing man's eyes turn green with envy. Some weeks ago, at the close of the Lincoln to Kearney Wheel club tournament, W. N. Walker, on behalf of Mills, issued a challenge to Barnett, for a five-mile race, the stipulations of which were that the prizes would be put up equally by the backers of each contestant and Mills would start with a handicap of 200 yards. Barnett has accepted and now the wheelmen will watch with interest the result. The following letter will explain itself:
Two "class A" track records were clipped at Grand Island during the Pukwana Cycle club's meet on the 18th. Arthur R. Weter of Grand Island lowered the quarter-mile record to 34 seconds flat, and O. L. Stevens shaved off a second from the one-mile record in competition, his time being 2:28. The first record was held by Lester Q. Holton of Omaha and the second by A. L. Proulx of Omaha. At the same meet, H. K. Frederickson lowered his own Nebraska record for the half-mile from 1:14 3-5 to 1:13 for the distance. This is not the state record for the distance, however, as Ora Hayman of Grand Island succeeded in lowering the record a few notches further, his time being 1:11 3-5. The cycling editor of The Bee is now engaged in compiling a table of Nebraska state records in comparison with the records of Colorado, Kansas, and Iowa, surrounding states, which mostly interest the Nebraska men. Thanks to the valuable assistance furnished by authorities in these states, the work will soon be ready for publication in these columns.
The rain of Saturday night caused Captain Walker of the Tourists to postpone last Sunday's trip to Crescent City. The riding season of this club is rapidly drawing to a close, only one month more of riding and the mileage books will be closed for 1894. Captain Walker, while greatly disappointed at the small amount of mileage made by the club this season, is gilded that it exceeds the mileage made by the other city clubs. The lesson has been a poor one for cycling, many things combining to decrease the attendance on club runs. The contest for the club medals, while not as spirited as in past seasons, has been class enough to be enjoyed by all contented. Captain Walker leads by a small paring of miles and will no doubt wear the 1894 club medal. Three other prizes, donated by E. P. Walker, M. O. Daxon, and H. K. Stallings, will be awarded to the next best men in order named. The winners of these are yet uncertain, if the fair weather prevails during the closing month of the season the position of the leaders will be materially changed.
We are now ready to fulfill our portion of the program and name Kearney, Neb., as the city for the contest and Thanksgiving Day as the date. The prize will be eight high-grade wheels, four to be contributed by Mr. Barnett and his friends and four by Mr. Mills and his friends, one of each to be given immediately with K. R. Andrews of the City National bank as a forfeit in case either contestant withdraws. The race will be sanctioned by the L. A. W. and run under its rules. If Barrett really wants the race, let him come to the front. Respectfully,
W. B. WALKER.
The selection of referee, judges, and timers will, of course, be among the minor details to be arranged. The retail price of one high-grade wheel is $125, therefore the winner will take away with him a cool $1,000 worth of bicycles. There has been considerable talk on both sides as to the relative speed of each principal and now that the chance is open for a good, fair trial, the boys ought not to be a bit backward about entering the match. Barnett has demonstrated his ability as a handicap racer, has defeated some of the best men in the country, and, with his speed, endurance, and experience, ought to win; while on the other hand, Mills is an antagonist not to be despised; he is young, speedy, has plenty of grit and endurance, and, with his advantage of 200 yards, ought to make it exceedingly hot for the Lincoln man. Should the race come off, as it probably will, large numbers of wheelmen will be in attendance from over the state.
If the reports from the Sioux City bicycle races, which occurred on October 10, are correct, the quarter-mile record of 32 2-5 seconds, made by Harry Hatchett at Council Bluffs during the Grandissime tournament, is now a thing of the past, as H. E. Frederickson is reported to have ridden the quarter in 31 3-4 W. C. W. Ashley also rode the mile in 2:18. Hat.
The lion's Field Champ?
We quite agree with Bluebill, says the American Field of October 27, who last week in a communication in the American Field said that the question as to who is champion live bird shot of the United States should be settled on neutral grounds, and that John Watson's grounds at Hennepin, Ill., are as good grounds as can be found for a matcher or a series of matches to determine this much-disputed question of champion live bird shot of this country. Mr. Watson is acknowledged to have at fast grounds as can be found anywhere; he can furnish as good birds as anyone; his grounds are fitted up with the most approved traps and other appliances necessary for a great match of this kind, and he has the unquestioned reputation of giving every man who goes to his park for a contest, whether for sport, for a wager, or for national honors, the squarest kind of a deal. With all this, what more can the aspirants for championship honors ask? If a fair hand and no favors, good birds, the best of traps, and the swiftest grounds in America are not what are needed to determine who is the champion, under what conditions, on what kind of grounds, and over what kind of traps should such honors be determined? There can be but one champion live bird shot of the United States, and if there are yet those who dispute Mr. J. A. R. Elliott's claim to the title, and he is agreeable to the arrangement, why should not the disputants to his claim meet him at Watson's shooting grounds some time between now and March 1, 1895, and settle the question? Good birds can be had anytime now, and that is what all the would-be claimants want, for a championship won on soft birds would not carry with it the honor that would follow one earned on the strongest and best birds to be had. Let us hear from Captain Brewer, J. A. R. Elliott, E. D. Fulford, C. W. Dudd, C. M. Grimm, Collenberger, Grosby, Winston, the Klehmans, Bingham, Carmelo, and others on this proposition, and see if arrangements cannot be perfected for the grandest contest at live birds ever seen in this country.
In referring to the rapid disappearance of the chicken, E. H. Maberly, D.D.S., of Holdrege, this state, says: "Up to 1892 we always had fine prairie chicken shooting in this part of Nebraska. To give you an idea of the number of birds that were here then, I will say that on my first trip in 1891, after these noble birds only three miles from town, my companion and I found three coveys in the first field we entered. Going from that into the next, across the section line went, two more coveys were found, and crossing into the adjoining farm north two more. Five coveys; in all about seventy-five birds. Enough shooting for a whole season. Since that time, or in the seasons of 1893-94, we find hardly any birds. They seem to have vanished all at once. We have no market hunters in this locality, nor ever have had, so it cannot be laid at their doors. Now the question arises, what has become of them? In the winter following that season, I saw enough birds "packed" to have at least hatched 1,200 young at ten birds to the hatching, and yet in "the fall of the same year in that locality, I could hardly find a bird. I have a theory. Our prairie is being broken up until there is hardly any good place for hatching, and this, with the burning off of the prairie in spring of the year, has driven our birds west. In the two years above referred to, I have taken a trip each year to the western part of the state to hunt with friends from Cheyenne, and this is our experience with the sharp-tailed grouse. In 1892, the birds we found were about equally divided between pinnated grouse (prairie chickens) and sharp-tailed grouse. In 1893, out of 168 birds shot by a party of four on the same grounds, only 68 were sharp-tailed. My conclusion is that both these noble birds are yearly drifting farther west, for at a point thirty miles west the proportion was at the point east the preceding season. When the plow and the burning off of the prairies in order to make sod breaking more easy shall have driven these grand birds to the Rockies, it looks as though, these kings of the southwestern tribes will truly become extinct, at least so far as enough for sport is concerned."

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 22. To the Sporting Editor of The Bee: The 100-yard foot race between T.C. Morris and myself to take place here on November 3 for $1,000 is going to be a success from all appearances. Morris has plenty of backing here. The race will be on the merits and the best man wins. I feel safe in saying I have an even chance, if not better, to win.
Championship HIP Unit from Chicago.
Old Hutch passed through the city on his way to the coast Friday.
Kid Clark is in the city, he will spend the winter on a ranch in the western part of the state.
Hilly Moran expects to spend the winter in this city as a clerk in one of the express offices.
Jack Haskell has been mentioned as one of the regulars for the Western league next season.
Little Rolllns North of the St. Joe will be given a trial in the spring with the Minneapolis outfit.
Grasshopper Ulrich has been mentioned from his last home in Philadelphia that he will play with Toledo next year.
It looks already as if the New American association was a brick duck, and the prospects of another war are attenuated indeed.
Joe Walsh is rapidly on the mend and will be able to resume his old position with the Pacific Express company some time next month.
The St. Louis Browns have gobbled up McDongal, who pitched for Quincy during the latter part of the season. Charlie Krehmeyer, however, is yet unclaimed.
Arthur Twineham, the big ex-St. Joe catcher, will captain the St. Louis Browns next season. He was a prodigy of Dave Howe's and made his professional debut at Denver.
Manager Watkins of the Indianapolis club is after Hilly Moran, but the probabilities are that Billy will be seen in a National League uniform next season, most likely with Chicago.
President Nick Young says that Charlie Abbey, the Falls City boy, is one of the greatest outfielders baseball has ever known. He is interesting in Washington, and has signed for next year at a large increase in salary.
Merles, Buckner's hard hitting fielder, has been signed by Watkins for Indianapolis next year. He is the first man to give his autograph to a Hoosier contract. Watkins has made a mistake in the Californian.
Parke Wilson, Dave Rowe's old Lincoln catcher, now with the Giants, is twirling a very handsome silver-headed cane, the prize offered by a fair New York fan for the player who had the best batting average from August 10 to the close of the season.
Frank Selce and James B. Manning, who were given the Fall River franchise in the New England Baseball Polo league, have given it up and Salem has been taken in. James Canavan will act as captain of the Pawtucket team, which is managed by W.H. McGonagle, the old Brooklyn.
The American Association of Baseball clubs, partially formed in Philadelphia by a sporting editor and several sanguine men "representing various capitalists," and the skillful allotment of rules, a constitution and instruction to players, is the joke of the baseball season Chicago Post.
Manager Watkins, it would appear, thinks pretty well of this year's crop of Western association players. He is drawing liberally on them for his next season's Indianapolis Western League team, and so far has landed Dago Merles of the Lincolns, "Nosey" Shafer of the Fargo's and Mons. Londer of the Rock Islands.

SIOUX CITY, Oct. 24. To the Sporting Editor of The Bee: Please state in Sunday's issue when the great European shooting event, the Monte Carlo tournament, takes place, what it is for and how it is shot. Smokeless.
Ans. In January for a cup valued at $3,000. All the matches of Europe are with the last flying blue rock pigeons, and the events are matches and out; so it is never an endurance match, like some of the 100-bird races of America. The greatest shooters of Europe will be sent to Monte Carlo by their states or cities to win. The event is of great importance to them. The rivalry between the contestants of France, England, Germany, Russia and Italy is almost as great as their political questions, and consequently their almost superhuman efforts to win.
WAHOO, Neb., Oct. 25. To the Sporting Editor of The Bee: Please give best time on record for bicycle rider and running horse A, Reader.

Day Bee: A and B make a bet, A says to H "If you owed me (A) a sum of money exceeding $5, I could not compel A to take more than $5 in silver according to law, or in other words, silver would not pay a debt that was more than $15 to the party to whom it was owing." It is a legal tender, please tell me to what amount and when such a law was enacted, as both parties have left it to you. B.W. Sweet. Ans. Subsidiary silver is legal tender up to the extent of $10. As to the silver dollar, it is legal tender to any amount. OMAHA, Oct. 25. To the Sporting Editor of The Bee: Please state in Sunday's sporting columns when the quail law expires in this state - A.

U begs, A runs the cards and turns spades, runs them again, spades; I says turn last card; A says no. Can U make A turn last card, and by what authority do you decide it? A Subscriber. Ans. If one card remains, it must be turned. OMAHA, Oct. 24. To the Sporting Editor of The Bee: Will you kindly answer in your Sunday issue whether Billy Plimmer ever knocked George Dixon out in a contest? M.F. Ans. He did not. CAMBRIDGE, Oct. 21. To the Sporting Editor of The Bee: Will you please state in Sunday's issue the number of pounds that characterize the different "weights" in the pugilistic arena, and oblige? M.S. Beak. Ans. Heavyweight, over 150 and under 200; middle, from 145 to 158; welter, 150, light, 122 to 133; feather, 115 to 120; bantam, 115 and under. HOT SPRINGS, Oct. 24. To the Sporting Editor of The Bee: To decide a controversy, will you kindly advise if James Corbett and Jack Kilrain ever engaged in a finish fight? I know they had a round contest, but a finish fight? Andrew C. Keller. Ans. They never did. Statistics have been compiled at Vienna of the quantity of beer drunk in 1893 in the entire world, Germany heads the list with 1,202,132,071 gallons, an increase of 31,000,000 over 1892, the consumption being thirty-three gallons per head, ranging from sixty-two gallons in Bavaria to twelve gallons in Lothringen, Great Britain second, 1,165,752,000 gallons, or thirty gallons per head, America, including the whole of the western hemisphere, is third, with more than 1,000,000,000 gallons, or sixteen gallons per head.

The second gown , though perhaps not quite
to enchanting as the flrst , was more sug
gestive of the witcheries of Halloween. It
was of the Chinese silk drapery. In lone cop
per red , and with a fantastic patterning of
black bats. The girdle- and low neck decora

buckles fasten the latter clown at Intervals ,
The very daintiest feature- this panlcred
gown , however , which In style recalls some

An Amntlng Entertainment for the rtuyt
and ( llrUi
A very funny entertainment for Hallowe'en
Is a "mock supper , " The supper Is spread
( n the dining room ; nnd If the boys and girls
do not enjoy II almost as much as a real
euppv-t they will be different from the party
ot yo rig people who tried It last year on a
Email scale , and who are going ta repeat It
this year nn a very much larger ono.
Kor ( ho mock < upp r let all the boys and
girls asiemblo In the drawing room or the
play room , which Is the ono usually devoted
to Hallowe'en plays. And let the conversa
tion drift toward the etippcr.
"Whatlould you HUe best for suppw ! "
( lie hostcM iiMta ono of * lur llttlo guests
Jobnnr Olles , ( or example.
"Iuuld llk While grupet , " replied
Jdtnnlo.
" .Very well , JohauU , " sayi tlio hostess ,
"You shall have some White grapes to tnko
homo with you , " .
Next she asks n little girl what she would
llko best for supper , "I would like currant
Jelly , " answers the llttlo glM. And that Is
the vay the game goes on. "Turkey ! " cX-
claims ono of the boys. "Pe .rs , " says an
other. "I would like nuts and raisins , " de
cides n llttlo girl. And then she changes
her mind. "No ! Give me bon bons. "
At last , when all have told what they
would like best , a very loud bell Is rung
with a great deal of strength ; and Into the
dining room march all the boys and girls ,
And there upon the table are all the things
asked for.
In the center there is an Immense dish ot
fruit grapes , pears , aples and peaches. At
one end there is a very brown turkey and
at the other Is a beautiful ham nil dotted
with pepper and dressed with fluted rllibons.
On each side are Jellies , and In great dishes
are cakcB , lion bens and Ices.
"Wo lll not hhve- supper now. I am
going to filvo It to you to take home with
you Johnnie , here nro the while grapes
you wanted. "
And taking a great bunch of the clear ,
light green beauties out of a fruit ill all , she
turns to Joluinle , who Benders what Is to
happen next. As he takes the grapes ho
presses one of them nnd bursts out laughing.
"You are not to eat the graps here , , "
cautions the hostess.
"No , nor anywhere else , " laughs Johnnie ,
"because they are made of wax. "
Next comes the handsome mould of currant
Jelly for the little- girl who wanted It. The
Jelly Is suspiciously light In weight nnd the
little lady looks nt It closely nml says :
"Why , II Is made of celluloid or something
like that. "
The turkey turns out to be a bird of brown
silk -with wooden feet. Ho Is Blurted with
cotton. The pears ara hollow , with an out
side of rough , hard-baked sugar , and the
bon bens nrc papier mache. The nuts and
raisins are rubber and weed veiy excellent
Imitations.
After the little guests have Mifflclently ad
mired their gifts and tire beginning to get a
little hungry from gazing at such pocd things
about them a servant announces supper and
all go Into another room , where- table Is
spread In precisely the same way. But this
time the turkey Is real and the cakes and
bon bens and fruit are good to cat.
A Hallowe'en supper Is usually given nt
the regular supper hour , 6 o'clock , or even 6 ,
and is a feast in every respect. Any
delicacy may appear upon the table and the
hostess can put her little guests at case by
suggesting that each one tell a story , tal < lng ,
perhaps , the Hallowe'en gift for a subject.
And eo Johnnie tells a story about a turkey
gobbler he once owned. And the- little girl
\vith the currant Jelly tells how she once
made Jelly or picked currants ; and so all the
guests have a little story to tell.
After supper there Is a little dancing In
the drawing room nnd by 9 o'clock the guests
go home , each taking along a small paste
board box In which , lies the Hallowe'en
souvenir. A great deal of laughter Is
cau&cd by the fact that the turkey Is too
large for his box and has to depart with his
feet sticking out of one end.
"A mock supper mnkes the funniest
Hallowe'en I ever spent ! " Is the verdict of
the boys and girls so fortunate as to be In
vited to one.

A New Accomplishment fur I'ntillonnbio
( JlrlH.
To fit the fashion of our resurrected grand
mother's gowns , worn low over the shoulders
and crinolined skirts , with hair brought over
the- ears and loosely parted down the center ,
comes the harp this , winter as the fashionable
Instrument for young girls to play.
Banjos and mandolins- arc laid asile. !
Whether the Instrument has come In from HIE
eternal fitness ot things or not , girls , to be
smart , -should train for the harp.
It not only requires good execution , strong
fingers , but Delsartcanposes - to make It pic
turesque.
Quite a number of New York young girls
are preparing for this winter. Their mothers
are having them trained In a most proficient
manner , that they may play at the afternoon
receptions In tliqlT own parlors. Lovely
gowns are fashioned for these children In soft
old colors that linnr.onlzf with the yellow ol
the harp. The music Is soft and full , not toe
brilliant to hush all other sounds , but serv
ing as a delightful accompaniment lo the
singing or talking vojce.
An Instruments costs from $309 ta $800 ,
quite as much as a piano. Lessons , are rathci
expensive , too , but the whole does not cost
more than an education on the piano. Tht
only difficulty comes In hardening the- lingers
This Is difficult. The thumbs are protected
but the other fingers will suffer during th !
first months and nothing but continuous prac
tice will remedy this.
One of the most charming little player :
now In New York is Miss Lucia Larrest o
Washington Square. She has an exqulsltt
harp and plays at most of htr mother's en
tcrtalnments , and when school duties do no

ABOUT UMBRELLAS. .
Never was there a. femlnlno heart that
didn't delight In umbrellas , and surely the
designers knew It , for they rake every ar
tistic Instinct In their souls to devise ami
satisfy this , longing.
Handles of gold and sliver are children ol
a day that ) & done. They were cheaply Imi
tated , nnd emart women put their real ones
aside In disgust and took to these of wood.
This set the pace lo these who -were not
modish folk , and fashion whirled from thn
mineral to the vegetable kingdom.
And now -\vo have umbrellas of finest silk
with handles of wood , on which the artists
place many designs. The favorite shapes
in handles are long and narrow. Ono odd
Variety of newest build Is of gnarled Im
ported wood , without a semblance of polluh ,
ending at the top In a grotesque or pictur
esque head mn.de > of bisque. One Is ot a
little Dutch boy , with a ivater Illy Inverted
over his head Another ends In a cross
legged Brownie , and others In red tomatoes ,
with the four green leaves at the top.
These of rough wood , with large- cherries
sprinkled over the handle , are sold , but nrc
not a bit smart In tone.
The preferable ones are carved In long
slabs that arc tipped with silver or twisted
In a circleat the end that the owner mny
slip her hand In to hold It better.
A style that fits the woman In the rough
SMART UMBRELLAS.
allor gown Is built similarly , to a man's
cane , having a broad claw of wood or burnt
'vory , tipped with silver , placed at right
ngles to the handle proper.
Burnt Ivory Is very fashionable still , cs-
eclally It mounted with narrow filigree sli
er bands , and some devices show an elf's
'ace , carved Intaglio Into the Ivory , sur
mounted by a cap ot silver. Very dressy
- mbrellas have handles of plain mother-af-
earl , fashioned columnllkej others have a
argo amethyst or emerald laid Into the metal
t the end , But- women who dress moGlshly
on't g-o In for any of these styles ns much
s they do for the rough or scented wood ,
wlsted and turned and capped charily with
liver.
A word as to the- care of your umbrella.
> Jevcr put It ferrule downwai'61 when wet.
f you can't open It and allow 11 to dry at
ts best , which Is the correct method , then
ilace It handle downward , so there is no
: hanco for the drippings to remain In the
Ip and rot the silk. Again , never go out
vlth your umbrella unrolled when not In
ise. It Is n world of saving If the cover
s always kept on It , to Bay nothing of the
-marter appearance It makes.
TEA DICl.MCINO , ' "
lost on , 1'hll.T.lcJphla und J\'c - Vorlc lii.lorno
UlfTcrciit nrlrtlcs.
The tea statistics of the United Stales
show an Increased Importation of almost
10,000,000 pounds between the years of 1891
and 1894. The Importation for last year
alone was 07,682,327 pounds. These enor
mous figures mean but ono thing. We are
becoming more llko our English cousins In
heir love for "the cup which cheers but
does not Inebriate. " And while It Is not
probable that Americans will ever substitute
ea for coffee In the morning , the afternoon
tea Is becoming moro of a recognized Insti
tution yearly and less ot a fad. .
It Is-a curious fact in the tea trade that
certain cities in the United Statcs , distinctly
prefer certain different Ulnds of tea For
Instance , Foochow goes mainly lo Philadel
phia. The cultivated Bostonlans discuss
Drowning over a cup of Kormosa Oolong
Japan teas are preferred In the western
cities. New Yorkers cling to tha thor
oughly proper Congou -English breakfast
tea ,
According to Importers , tea docs not lose
Its flavor In being brought here , and it made
here as It Is made In China , would have
precisely the same bouquet. This Is due
to the caretul way It Is packed. The same
rule which applies to the housekeeper ap
plies to the Importer. Tea should bo usei
as. soon as It Is opened. Housekeepers
should buy It In email quantities and al
ways keep It airtight In a dry place. Tea
a year or two old depreciates greatly In
value.
Tea should bo drunk from two to five min
utes after It Is made. It Is not necessary
to let It steep.
The Chinese put the dry leaf In the cu [
and pour the fresh water Just at boiling
point over It. The sap which Is secreted It
the stcmmy structure , of the leaf Is all tha
Is good. This exudes In from two to five
minutes. If allowed to stand longer the
chemical quality of the leaf destroys the
flavor and renders the tea Indigestible and In
Jurlous. As for the woman who has her tea
pot standing on the stove all day and take
a cup whenever she feels weary , according
to tea men , It Is , a special dispensation o
providence that she docs not drop dead on
the spot.
* In China and Japan the work of caltlvat
Ing and preparing tea for the market devolves
volvos principally upon the women. Tea
grows en bushes from three to five feet big !
in plantations similar to cotton , In form
the leaf similar to the smaller petals o
a rose. For the arduous labor ot picking
drying and rolling the tea leaf women re
celvo from 10 to 20 cents a day. The cultl
vatton ot tea has. been tried In the southern
part of the United States , but o-alng t
the small wages paid Chines laborers , w
can not compete.
One of the Interesting features ol Chin
to tourists are the tea houses. Chlne&o dra
perles , screens , lanterns and fans form th
principal decoration. The low tea table
are covered with Chinese paper and th
exquisite cups and saucers would gladde
the heart of a curio collector. They ar
usually presided over by a matron and he
several daughters. They all know a llttl
English and are extremely polite. Whe
a stranger appears on the tbreshliold th
daughters Immediately surround and fa
him , while the mother bustles off to niak
a cup of tea , He is not asked 1C he > want
ie It that fact Is taken for granted. If li
hesitates and does not drink It as teen as I
15
U handed to him , in very attractive broke
English they urge him to drink It before I
spoils ,
The only teas which have at all the stlinu
latlng effect ascribed lo alcohol are th
Congou , Ceylon and India teas , Ot course
then they are made of more than the ordl
nary strength. Wo do not drlng tea. any
thing near so strong as they do In England
In China , where It Is the national beverage
they drink It In smaller quantities and o
tener , nnd always without milk or sugar
Putting rum and cordials In tea la n thqr
oughly European and American Idea , en
would Impress they Chinaman , It bo wer
familiar with that flavor , ot "painting th
Illy. "
The purest teas are Oolong and Congou
There 1 * a llttU coloring matter In greet
ca , but not enough to be Injurious. For
heir own UGP , howprer , the Chlneoe never
color their tn , For the very best quality
ono should not pay more than a dollar a
pound. Moro Is a fancy price , Nothing- ,
irobably , Indicates so clearly the hold tea
ma upon Its drinkers than the fact that
mrd times 'never affect the quantity sold ,
There U a demand for Inferior qualities ,
irobably1. but even -with the poorest there
s always enough tea In the cupboard for a
cheering cup ,
It la very Interesting to watch a tea , taster
t wbrk. He Is seated before a round re
volving table , on the pdge of which are scv-
ral dozen cups , At his feet Is an enormous
unnel shaped cuspidor. Into this he spits
ha tea. after tasting-/ For a tea taster lo
ver swallow the tea Is an unheard of thing- .
n the center of the Ubloils a pair of scales.
A nickel five cent iilecoils the only weight
isecl , Its balance being the regulation quan-
Hy of ! oi used for cadi cup. Two caul-
rons of boiling water splutter on a gas
tove.
Turning the table around , the taster In-
eptliratos each cup Ir. turn. Ho decides
pen their respective valncs nnd quality by
he fragrance , the brightness oC the leaf , Its
ormatlon ( the smaller nnd closer the belter ) ,
ho color nnd taste ofu'thc tea. So accurate
o these men beccma In their Judcments
hat they can frequently pick out the dlf-
erent brands used in a icup of mixed tea.
Jc-r does time Imp&lrl these peculiar facul-
les , but rather seeing to ilevclop and sharpen
hem. There has never been a woman tea
aster. The prcvalllrH opinion Is that with
en. like wine , a woman's palate lacks ills-
rlmlnatlng appreciation , i nnd unqualifies her
or the position.

A professional friend surprised me
jy saying ho wondered why men wore
lack eyes when there was no necessity for It
Halt an hour ot massngc , judiciously ap-
lied , after the Injury , he added , would pre-
ent any such ugly condition. Massage , he
ontlnued , is a restful cure for many Ills
oik know , but to how many uses It can be
nit remains an unknown quantity to the
ally.
"Bpt about the eye , doctor ? " I asked.
"As soon a& the Injury Is received the
lands should go at once to work. No sclen-
Iflc passes are necessary , just the primitive
; nowledgo of how to rapidly nnd firmly move
lie fingers over a given spot. In ten minutes
tie 'blueness' Is fading and at the end ot
hlrty minutes no 'blackness' Is visible.
"It Is better and surer treatment far than
ny amount of raw beef , salves or poultices. "
This method does not only apply to the eye ,
ut Is good for any blow or fall which pro-
uces "blue marks. "
Should a child tumble down and limbs erick
) ick bo hurt , nothing one can apply will ns
uletly prevent coagulation ot blood or sore-
eas ns Instant massage.
The why nnd wherefore Is quite simple yet
vise. The blood Is congested as the skin Is
truck , especially In soft boneless places of
lie body. The clots prevent newer and bet-
cr blood passing- Into the bruised veins , anil
tie transparent skin reveals the dark condl-
lon. Manipulation of this skin by the fin-
jors loosens the clotted blood and carries
t off , thus restoring- normal circulation.
This remedy ts so simple that It will possl-
ly be forgotten , but It ts a rather good bit
t wisdom to keep stored away for tlmo of
mcrgcncy.
Many physicians are applying massage for
rnctures and especially far sprains.
I saw a woman who had a bony growth bc-
ween the Joints of the wrists and who had to
ubmlt to Its being broken , undergoing frc-
tient massage for Its cure. It was the only
medicine applied.
Also nothing Is so effective for a sprained
nkle. The patient should , if possible , rub
he joint of the ankle all the time , and ha\e
lassage delivered by others four or six times
day. Not only Is the cure as speedy as un-
cr other doctoring , but also tlie constant re-
let afforded to the- soreness reacts on the
crvous system. The same method applies
o a sprained -wrist or shoulder , and It Is ex-
el lent In caseof a sprained back.
In.tha case of fractures .massage , ts being
pplled In the place' Cf splints. True , oil
latlents do not prefer it , for the constant
rlctlon of the hand on a very sore spot Is
not always soothing. It creates frequently
ntense 'pain for awhile , but the sensation
3 not .lasting. However , some physicians
lalm that splints , as mechanical apparatus
or perverted bones , Is disadvantageous , be-
mse It weakens. Tha muscles are 'shelved'
or the time being , and > 4he blood Is not In
good circulation ; whereas In the Instance of
massage all functions arc stimulated by the
quick circulation into which the blood Is put.

Paring an apple to discover a set of lijl-
Hals , eating a p ar In front of a looking
glass In a dark room , pulling a head of cab-
> age , and the old-time 'ducking for apples
are played this year In a new way. They
appear In a tableaux. As many boys and
girls can l > s In the tableaux as desire. And
'or ' an audience there may be the younger
Brothers and sisters of HIP faml'y and the
ciders who played theto games In a different
way long ago.
Klrst there must be a. large frame built.
It Is better to have two frames. Ono need
: e only large enough to show off a single
person. But. the other should be as big as a
jroup of boys and girls , or about half the
width and height of tha room. The frames
nay bo of simple pine , unplaned ; and any
boy with a hammer , saw and nails can make
one of them so that they answer the purpose
nicely , Fasten tha frame that is to be used
for the flrst tableaux In an upright position
so that it stands In front of the audience ;
and you arc ready for the performance to
begin.
For the first tnb'eaux , the one with the
apple peeling , select a pretty mademoiselle
with long hair braided down her back and
a gown that Is copied after a picture you may
find In on old book. A dark blue dress
made In old Dutch style Is very pretty for A
tableaux ; nnd If the young lady Is old enough ,
she may braid her hair and band It around
her head In a way grandmama will suggest.
The tableaux shows the apple peel upon
the floor , where it has been thrown by the
anxious Hallowe'en ' girl , white she bends
over It to read Its Initials. In her hand
there Is a peeled apple and a stiver fruit
knife.
The tableaux of eating a pear In a dark
room Is managed by darkening the room nnd
putting out the light back of the picture
frame , At one side of Hie frame , looking In
a glass , stands a young girl eating a pear ,
while the only light In the room Is from the
candle In her hand.
The merriest living picture of all IB the
old-time ducking for apples. All the chil
dren can tale part in this , and the large
frame muat be used. In the center stands a
tub of water. At ono side Is a boy who haa
just lifted his head , all dripping , from the
tub , Besides him Is another youngster with
his head apparently submerged In the water ,
etc , until the whole group Is. nicely placed
In picture fashion. AH eyes are centered
upon the boy who has bobbed up with an
apple tightly clutched In his teeth.
Pulling a head ot cabbage la managed
thus In a picture. A pretty girl sits blind
folded In a scene made to represent the
kitchen. In her hands there Is a big cab
bage , Just pulled from the ground. Her
friends stand around laughing while her eyes
are being un blinded. A head of very red
cabbage adds to the picture.
All the oldfashionedHallowe'en plays can
be made thus in tlie living pictures with the
result of novelty and Entertainment for all.

nadonna , trankly , "that's ' Just why I want
o coino here tonight.
"There's going to be n dance 'round to
he Sullivan's pretty bad esB. Joe Sullivan ,

t. I'm Just dead sick of rowdies , nnd I'll
never marry none on earth. I've Just broke
with him for good , I have , nnd I'd go to

Then Emily hoped that It any of the
'boys" should come that night the young
ady wouldn't make them "mad" by talking
ellglon.
Then she went down the steps sniffing
usplciously.
H was qnlto plain tr > be seen that though
ho hot tempered anil spree-loving Dave had
est the madonna's respect , he had still a
warm place In her woman's heart.
At 8:30 : in the evening , true to her word ,
Emily went back to her boarding house , but
vlth a big , brown , good-looking young man
lone. Who , but Mr. IJavId Finn , the
plumber himaclf. The rowdy , broken with ,
discarded sweetheart !
She presented him coolly , and without
liter comment than thnt "the rest ot them"
voiild go to the Sullivan dance , she fell
nto silence.
The reading room girl nnd a tall young
ady In a fashionable pink dress , who had
come in to help with the Halloween fes-
Ivltlcs , tried to draw her out in vain. She
would say "yes" nnd ' 'no , " and then go
jack to her thinking , looking all the while
tko some beautiful holy picture.
The disgraced Dave , on the contrary ,
iroved a genial guest , and with n surprising
alcnt for roasting chestnuts and apples just
0 the point. Ho was a winning rascal ,
oo , on his own account , with a curly ,
> rown head and a big boy guffaw that -would
lave touched a heart of stone. Yet at 10
o'clock Emily was still strangely silent.
Sha did not even smile , not until the scc-
nd masculine guest of the evening arranged
a long row of twelve candles In little tin
props on the floor and lit them.
This gentleman had cpme nil the -way from
Inrlem to keep the peace on Suffolk Btrcet ,
f It should. l > a necessary ; nnd ho now In-
ormed the ladles that they were to try their
ates by Jumping over the candles. These
represented In rotation all the months of
he year , nnd the candle extinguished by the
umplng would be the month of matrimony.
f they put out nonp nt alt , that would be
a sign that they werb to be old maids.
The reading room girl Jumped flrst and
vaa at once laid on the shelf of single
) lcssedness. The young lady In pink
knocked over two candles , which proved she
was to be married twice.
And then It came Emily's turn.
Emily had been holding back , looking on
vlth the ghost o't a laugh about the corners
ot her divine mouth ; and now , without a
bend , she stood up and gathered together
ho simple folds of her brown dress , Poor
lave ) , lovesick to the. ears , flamed red as
a peony. "One , two , three , " counted some-
) ody , and , with a running Jump , the ma
donna whisked over tlje month of March.
"Oh , Miss Anderson , " said the girl In pink ,
as the smoking candle lay on the floor , "you
will bo married In five months. "
The reading room girl kissed her without
a word , and Dave again changed color , but
this time from red to white. Then some-
50dy else declared that the claret mulling
in the kitchen would be ruined , and after
; hey had all run out to see , Kmlly said quite
simply to Dave : "That's all right , Dave. "
"You see. " she explained afterwards to
the reading room girl , her fast friend by
now , "It was like this , I knew thcre'd be
ducking for .tipples flt Sullivan's , and going
down the steps backward , and all the
things to put men In a temper when they've
took on too much beer , and I Just made up
my mind Dave shouldn't go , and maybe
get In a shindy and be showing up nt Essex
Market Sunday along with fan-tan China
men nnd Dagoes. Any woman can keep n
man straight It she wants , and there ain't
many In the world as good ns Dave. So ,
when I seen him In the street that night
1 Just calls out : 'Hello , Dave ! You wanter
go to a Halloween entcitalnmcnt ? ' 'Don't
I ! ' he says. And then I wouldn't speak an
other word but Just to come along ; and I
don't think I'd have married him on earth
If I hadn't come here and knocked over the
March candle. "
And so , though the whole of Suffolk street
has not yet been tamed , two loving and
divided hearts are made one , and Halloween
nnd theosophy are without doubt good things.

OWN.
FISTY PANT.
Technicolor France it Brunette, Costume and Holiday Will Wear to a Halloween-mood.
Halloween, perhaps, more than any other sepi, supplies possibilities for picturesque and effective gowns, and the end-of-the-century girl is not the one to let them slip by.
A very fashionable wardrobe now owns, along with other dainty evening toilets, a Halloween supper frock, which can be made in any mode, but which, to be just the thing, I should suggest, in some way, night itself.
Tints vague and intangible, hinting of dark-ness or the white cool moon, are preferred over glaring dark colors.
As to ornament, there may be some curious jeweled night fly fastened somewhere, perhaps spangled in the hair, and if flowers are used, they, too, must propitiate the powers of night in warmth and thick perfume.
The dread witches, who on All Hallows' Eve have the threads of fate in their keeping, are said to be difficult ladies to please, but somehow one hopes they will smile on the wearers of these charming gowns and provide them suitable husbands. The originals of these dainty costumes, which were suggested by three famous French Pictures, were all made by a nimble-fingered New York girl for a Halloween supper. They are to be worn by herself and two sisters, three distinct types; and along with their exceeding effectiveness, they have the merit of having involved comparatively little expense, being all fashioned from materials at hand, some lengths of a marvelous Chinese drapery, a few yards of thick liberty satin bought in better days, and a thin, scant old tambour muslin slip, relic of a long-dead great-grandmamma and tea cup times.
FOR A BRUNETTE.
The first dress was for the dark, handsome elder sister of the little Cinderella dressmaker, the type that goes with stiffness and stateliness and rustling textures.
It was of the liberty satin in a dim luminous tint, too blue for gray and too gray for blue, and that will show off the wearer's rich olive skin to perfection. The girdle drapery of graduating ribbon lengths and bows was of a faint dead tea rose color. This subtle and delightful tint, together with black, repeats itself in the simple but decorative embroidery at the bottom of the wide skirt. The tiny chemise gown is of white muslin, and the short balloon sleeves are stiffened with tarlatan.
To be worn with the dress, as well as the next one, both of which were entirely un-crinolined, were petticoats of haircloth, with tucks of large round organ pipe plaits, to hold the skirt on in the present approved fashion.
FOR CHERRY COLORING,
The second gown, though perhaps not quite as enchanting as the first, was more suggestive of the witcheries of Halloween. It was of the Chinese silk drapery, in long copper red, and with a fantastic patterning of black bats. The girdle and low neck decoration are of black velvet, and square jet buckles fasten the latter down at intervals.
The very daintiest feature of this ruffled gown, however, which in style recalls somewhat little beflowered Dolly Varden, is the undersleeves, made to show off a rounded young arm and drive envy to the soul of womankind. For every woman who is a real woman has a weakness for lace, and these adorable undersleeves were made of the charming old net lace embroidery in back stitch of the long ago.
It, too, came, like the tambour muslin, from grandmamma's garret, where, when Halloween is over, it is to be hoped, it will be carefully put back.
A GOWN FOR A BLONDE.
The third and last dress, a tiny hint of the Directoire period, is the tambour muslin slip itself, sinfully modernized. Once white, it is now evenly mellowed to a soft caressing yellow, which is further accented by a pulling of pure white chiffon about the neck and skirt bottom. The sleeves are of a rich heavy brocade, in black and white, and the belt and crescent ornaments are of silver.
This costume is to be worn to the supper by the little dressmaker herself, and its scant picture lines are sure to become her slim, short-waisted young figure.
And may the ghost of sweet dead grandmamma not come back to reproach her for desecration.
A FRIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE YOUNG AND OLD.
A very funny entertainment for Halloween is a "mock supper," The supper is spread on the dining room; and if the boys and girls do not enjoy it almost as much as a real supper, they will be different from the party of young people who tried it last year on a small scale, and who are going to repeat it this year on a very much larger one.
For the mock supper, let all the boys and girls assemble in the drawing room or the play room, which is the one usually devoted to Halloween plays. And let the conversation drift toward the supper.
"What would you like best for supper!"
The hostess listens to one of her little guests, Johanna Oles, for example.
"I would like white grapes," replied Johanna.
"Very well, Johanna," says the hostess, "You shall have some white grapes to take home with you," .
Next she asks a little girl what she would like best for supper, "I would like currant jelly," answers the little girl. And that is the way the game goes on. "Turkey!" claims one of the boys. "Peas," says another. "I would like nuts and raisins," decides a little girl. And then she changes her mind. "No! Give me bonbons."
At last, when all have told what they would like best, a very loud bell is rung with a great deal of strength; and into the dining room march all the boys and girls.
And there upon the table are all the things asked for.
In the center there is an immense dish of fruit, grapes, pears, apples, and peaches. At one end there is a very brown turkey and at the other is a beautiful ham all dotted with pepper and dressed with fluted ribbons.
On each side are jellies, and in great dishes are cakes, lion bones, and ices.
"We will not have supper now. I am going to give it to you to take home with you Johnnie, here are the white grapes you wanted."
And taking a great bunch of the clear, light green beauties out of a fruit dish, she turns to Johanna, who indicates what is to happen next. As he takes the grapes he presses one of them and bursts out laughing.
"You are not to eat the grapes here," cautions the hostess.
"No, nor anywhere else," laughs Johnnie, "because they are made of wax."
Next comes the handsome mold of currant jelly for the little girl who wanted it. The jelly is suspiciously light in weight and the little lady looks at it closely and says:
"Why, it is made of celluloid or something like that."
The turkey turns out to be a bird of brown silk with wooden feet. It is stuffed with cotton. The pears are hollow, with an outside of rough, hard-baked sugar, and the bonbons are papier mache. The nuts and raisins are rubber and weeds very excellent imitations.
After the little guests have sufficiently admired their gifts and are beginning to get a little hungry from gazing at such poor things about them, a servant announces supper and all go into another room, where the table is spread in precisely the same way. But this time the turkey is real and the cakes and bonbons and fruit are good to eat.
A Hallowe'en supper is usually given at the regular supper hour, 6 o'clock, or even 6, and is a feast in every respect. Any delicacy may appear upon the table and the hostess can put her little guests at ease by suggesting that each one tell a story, talking, perhaps, the Hallowe'en gift for a subject. And so Johnnie tells a story about a turkey gobbler he once owned. And the little girl with the currant jelly tells how she once made jelly or picked currants; and so all the guests have a little story to tell.
After supper there is a little dancing in the drawing room and by 9 o'clock the guests go home, each taking along a small pasteboard box in which lies the Hallowe'en souvenir. A great deal of laughter is caused by the fact that the turkey is too large for his box and has to depart with his feet sticking out of one end. "A mock supper makes the funniest Hallowe'en I ever spent!" Is the verdict of the boys and girls so fortunate as to be invited to one.
Gillian HARPER.
A New Accomplishment for Pantillonians.
To fit the fashion of our resurrected grandmother's gowns, worn low over the shoulders and crinoline skirts, with hair brought over the ears and loosely parted down the center, comes the harp this winter as the fashionable instrument for young girls to play.
Banjos and mandolins are laid aside. Whether the instrument has come in from the eternal fitness of things or not, girls, to be smart, should train for the harp.
It not only requires good execution, strong fingers, but Delsarte poses to make it picturesque.
Quite a number of New York young girls are preparing for this winter. Their mothers are having them trained in a most proficient manner, that they may play at the afternoon receptions in their own parlors. Lovely gowns are fashioned for these children in soft old colors that blend with the yellow of the harp. The music is soft and full, not too brilliant to hush all other sounds, but serving as a delightful accompaniment to the singing or talking voice.
An instrument costs from $309 to $800, quite as much as a piano. Lessons are rather expensive, too, but the whole does not cost more than an education on the piano. The only difficulty comes in hardening the fingers. This is difficult. The thumbs are protected but the other fingers will suffer during the first months and nothing but continuous practice will remedy this.
One of the most charming little players now in New York is Miss Lucia Larrest of Washington Square. She has an exquisite harp and plays at most of her mother's entertainments, and when school duties do not interfere, she is allowed to lend her talent to some of her mother's friends. Her playing is exceptionally fine and as she is very graceful, she makes a dainty picture sitting before her great instrument in some flower-bowered corner of a drawing room.
Funniest Halloween Supper.
"Who's got the button?" Is a question Dame Fashion asks of her followers just now. There is no doubting the fact that buttons, of all sizes, varieties, and especially prices, are to be the vogue this winter after being mummyfied for five years.
Hooks and eyes will yet play their important part, for these buttons are meant to adorn, not to use. No top coat but has large buttons, which may be used, if preferable, and no tailor gown is without its array.
Cloth plays no part in their makeup, for metal is the favorite material.
A shop is offering now for sale some for overcoats or walking jackets of covert green and chocolate, great ribbed onyx ones with carved mother-of-pearl figures on them. Some designed for sportswomen have splendid bloodhound's head with a whip in its mouth as the cut figure, which stands out in artistic relief from its dark back.
These are $150 apiece. Others designed for a cut velvet Louis XVI dining coat that is to have fluters of point lace, are exquisite miniatures set in rhinestones.
The heads are those of Marie Antoinette, the Dauphin, the little Princess, and of Louis XVI. Mine, de Barry was there and Mme Pompadour, also Charlotte Corday and Jeanne d'Arc. These articles rank anywhere from $5 to $8 apiece.
Turkish buttons three inches in circumference, at dull silver are studded with blue stones and brilliant wheels of gold, set with imitation amethysts and emeralds. These last are $19 a dozen. One of the handsomest species is bought over from France and costs $50 a dozen. They are sun bursts of fine cut rhinestones mounted on wires of gold and are designed for satin and velvet toilet for evening.
Their variety is infinite, but one must own a cow to be in the mode this season.
THE NEW PETTICOAT.
Silk petticoats, finely made and unlined, may once have been pretty, but to the maiden up-to-date, they present no attractiveness, because they are stained in the bank and found wanting in utility. They wear out rapidly and add not a whit to the stand-out effect the skirt must now have.
The new petticoats are made with a laffett lining then interlined with hair cloth, or grass cloth, for the latter loses its stiffness rapidly. The hair cloth is put on after the fashion: A bias strip, sixteen inches wide, is cut exactly by the lower pattern of the skirt, then put between the two linings, as far as the tide crosses extend. In the back, this is placed in an arc way up to the bell, and put into two large box plaits, in the skirt material should be done. This gives the flare out from the waist at the back which is grievously tending toward bustles. Nevertheless, on a second glance, it is distinctly becoming.
Gown makers do not favor the making of the petticoat, after the very full manner of the skirt, for it interferes awkwardly with one's walking; still, the hem must flare considerably to lend countenance to the new dress skirt, and many petticoat makers are putting in small steel rods to produce the enlarged flare so desired by those who are gowned in the extreme.
This, also, is a slight tendency toward hoops, but as the fashions change, so do our friends, and the new effect is considered very fashionable and pretty.
ABOUT UMBRELLAS.
Never was there a feminine heart that didn't delight in umbrellas, and surely the designers knew it, for they take every artistic instinct in their souls to devise and satisfy this longing.
Handles of gold and silver are children of the day that is done. They were cheaply imitated, and smart women put their real ones aside in disgust and took to these of wood. This set the pace for those who were not modish folk, and fashion whirled from the mineral to the vegetable kingdom.
And now we have umbrellas of finest silk with handles of wood, on which the artists place many designs. The favorite shapes in handles are long and narrow. One odd variety of newest build is of gnarled imported wood, without a semblance of polish, ending at the top in a grotesque or pictorial head made of bisque. One is of a little Dutch boy, with a water lily inverted over his head. Another ends in a cross-legged Brownie, and others in red tomatoes, with the four green leaves at the top.
These of rough wood, with large cherries sprinkled over the handle, are sold, but are not at all smart in tone.
The preferable ones are carved in long slabs that are tipped with silver or twisted in a circle at the end that the owner may slip her hand in to hold it better.
A style that fits the woman in the rough SMART UMBRELLAS.
alter gown is built similarly, to a man's cane, having a broad claw of wood or burnt ivory, tipped with silver, placed at right angles to the handle proper.
Burnt Ivory is very fashionable still, especially when mounted with narrow filigree silver bands, and some devices show an elf's face, carved Intaglio into the ivory, surmounted by a cap of silver. Very dressy umbrellas have handles of plain mother-of-pearl, fashioned column-like; others have a large amethyst or emerald laid into the metal at the end. But women who dress modernly don't go in for any of these styles as much as they do for the rough or scented wood, polished and turned and charitably capped with silver.
A word as to the care of your umbrella. Never put the ferrule down when wet. If you can't open it and allow it to dry at its best, which is the correct method, then place it handle downward, so there is no chance for the drippings to remain in the lip and rot the silk. Again, never go out with your umbrella unrolled when not in use. It is a world of saving if the cover is always kept on it, to say nothing of the better appearance it makes.
TEA DECORATING, Philadelphia and New York have adopted Teacup art.
The tea statistics of the United States show an increased importation of almost 10,000,000 pounds between the years of 1891 and 1894. The importation for last year alone was 67,682,327 pounds. These enormous figures mean but one thing: We are becoming more like our English cousins in their love for "the cup which cheers but does not inebriate." And while it is not probable that Americans will ever substitute tea for coffee in the morning, the afternoon tea is becoming more of a recognized institution yearly and less of a fad.
It is a curious fact in the tea trade that certain cities in the United States, distinctly prefer certain kinds of tea. For instance, Foochow goes mainly to Philadelphia. The cultivated Bostonians discuss Formosa Oolong Japan teas are preferred in the western cities. New Yorkers cling to the thoroughly proper Congou - English breakfast tea.
According to Importers, tea does not lose its flavor in being brought here, and it made here as it is made in China, would have precisely the same bouquet. This is due to the careful way it is packed. The same rule which applies to the housekeeper applies to the Importer. Tea should be used as soon as it is opened. Housekeepers should buy it in small quantities and always keep it airtight in a dry place. Tea a year or two old depreciates greatly in value.
Tea should be drunk from two to five minutes after it is made. It is not necessary to let it steep.
The Chinese put the dry leaf in the cup and pour the fresh water just at boiling point over it. The sap which is secreted in the steamy structure of the leaf is all that is good. This exudes in from two to five minutes. If allowed to stand longer the chemical quality of the leaf destroys the flavor and renders the tea indigestible and injurious. As for the woman who has her tea pot standing on the stove all day and takes a cup whenever she feels weary, according to tea men, it is a special dispensation of Providence that she does not drop dead on the spot.
In China and Japan, the work of cultivating and preparing tea for the market devolves upon the women. Tea grows on bushes from three to five feet high in plantations similar to cotton, in form the leaf similar to the smaller petals of a rose. For the arduous labor of picking, drying, and rolling the tea leaf, women receive from 10 to 20 cents a day. The cultivation of tea has been tried in the southern part of the United States, but owing to the small wages paid Chinese laborers, we cannot compete.
One of the interesting features of China for tourists are the tea houses. Chinese drapes, screens, lanterns, and fans form the principal decoration. The low tea tables are covered with Chinese paper and the exquisite cups and saucers would gladden the heart of a curio collector. They are usually presided over by a matron and her several daughters. They all know a little English and are extremely polite. When a stranger appears on the threshold the daughters immediately surround him, while the mother bustles off to make a cup of tea. He is not asked if he wants it; that fact is taken for granted. If he hesitates and does not drink it as soon as it is handed to him, in very attractive broken English they urge him to drink it before it spoils.
The only teas which have at all the stimulating effect ascribed to alcohol are the Congou, Ceylon, and India teas. Of course, then they are made of more than the ordinary strength. We do not drink tea anything near so strong as they do in England in China, where it is the national beverage, they drink it in smaller quantities and order, and always without milk or sugar. Putting rum and cordials in tea is a thoroughly European and American idea, and would impress the Chinese, it were they familiar with that flavor of "painting the lily."
The purest teas are Oolong and Congou. There is a little coloring matter in both, but not enough to be injurious. For their own use, however, the Chinese never color their teas. For the very best quality, one should not pay more than a dollar a pound. More is a fancy price, nothing, probably, indicates so clearly the hold tea has upon its drinkers than the fact that market times never affect the quantity sold. There is a demand for inferior qualities, probably, but even with the poorest there is always enough tea in the cupboard for a cheering cup.
It is very interesting to watch a tea taster at work. He is seated before a round revolving table, on the edge of which are several dozen cups. At his feet is an enormous funnel-shaped cuspidor. Into this he spits the tea, after tasting it. For a tea taster to ever swallow the tea is an unheard-of thing. In the center of the table is a pair of scales. A nickel five-cent piece is the only weight used, its balance being the regulation quantity of tea used for each cup. Two cauldrons of boiling water splutter on a gas stove.
Turning the table around, the taster inspects each cup in turn. He decides upon their respective values and quality by the fragrance, the brightness of the leaf, its formation (the smaller and closer the better), the color and taste of the tea. So accurate do these men become in their judgments that they can frequently pick out the different brands used in a cup of mixed tea.
How does time impair these peculiar faculties, but rather seeing to develop and sharpen them. There has never been a woman tea taster. The prevailing opinion is that with wine, a woman's palate lacks fine discriminating appreciation, and unqualifies her for the position.
Phyllis and Bruce treated Mint inadvertently by exhibiting the imported Paris. A professional friend surprised me by saying he wondered why men wore black eyes when there was no necessity for it. Half an hour of massage, judiciously applied, after the injury, he added, would prevent any such ugly condition. Massage, he continued, is a restful cure for many ills, but to how many uses it can be put remains an unknown quantity to the many.
"About the eye, doctor?" I asked.
"As soon as the injury is received, the fingers should go at once to work. No sleight of hand is necessary, just the primitive knowledge of how to rapidly and firmly move the fingers over a given spot. In ten minutes the 'blueness' is fading and at the end of forty minutes no 'blackness' is visible.
It is better and surer treatment for any amount of raw beef, salves or poultices. This method does not only apply to the eye, but is good for any blow or fall which produces "blue marks." Should a child tumble down and limbs get hurt, nothing one can apply will entirely prevent coagulation of blood or sores as instant massage. The why and wherefore is quite simple yet wise. The blood is congested as the skin is struck, especially in soft boneless places of the body. The clots prevent newer and better blood passing into the bruised veins, and the transparent skin reveals the dark condition. Manipulation of this skin by the fingers loosens the clotted blood and carries it off, thus restoring normal circulation. This remedy is so simple that it will possibly be forgotten, but it is a rather good bit of wisdom to keep stored away for time of emergency.
Many physicians are applying massage for fractures and especially for sprains. I saw a woman who had a bony growth between the joints of the wrists and who had to submit to its being broken, undergoing frequent massage for its cure. It was the only medicine applied. Also, nothing is so effective for a sprained ankle. The patient should, if possible, rub the joint of the ankle all the time, and have massage delivered by others four or six times a day. Not only is the cure as speedy as under other doctoring, but also the constant relief afforded to the soreness reacts on the nervous system. The same method applies to a sprained wrist or shoulder, and it is excellent in case of a sprained back.
In the case of fractures, massage, is being applied in the place of splints. True, patients do not prefer it, for the constant friction of the hand on a very sore spot is not always soothing. It creates frequently intense pain for awhile, but the sensation does not last. However, some physicians claim that splints, as mechanical apparatus for perverted bones, is disadvantageous, because it weakens. The muscles are "shelved" or the time being, and the blood is not in good circulation; whereas in the instance of massage, all functions are stimulated by the quick circulation into which the blood is put.
LIVING PICTURES THIS HALLOWEEN.
Adapted from games pretty and novel for Yvette and Old.
Paring an apple to discover a set of initials, eating a pear in front of a looking glass in a dark room, pulling a head of cabbage, and the old-time "ducking for apples" are played this year in a new way. They appear in a tableaux. As many boys and girls can take part in the tableaux as desire. And for an audience there may be the younger brothers and sisters of the family and the friends who played these games in a different way long ago.
First, there must be a large frame built. It is better to have two frames. One need be only large enough to show off a single person. But, the other should be as big as a group of boys and girls, or about half the width and height of the room. The frames may be of simple pine, unplanned; and any boy with a hammer, saw and nails can make one of them so that they answer the purpose nicely. Fasten the frame that is to be used for the first tableaux in an upright position so that it stands in front of the audience; and you are ready for the performance to begin.
For the first tableaux, the one with the apple peeling, select a pretty mademoiselle with long hair braided down her back and a gown that is copied after a picture you may find in an old book. A dark blue dress made in old Dutch style is very pretty for a tableaux; and if the young lady is old enough, she may braid her hair and band it around her head in a way grandmama will suggest. The tableaux shows the apple peel upon the floor, where it has been thrown by the anxious Hallowe'en girl, while she bends over it to read its initials. In her hand there is a peeled apple and a silver fruit knife.
The tableaux of eating a pear in a dark room is managed by darkening the room and putting out the light behind the picture frame. At one side of the frame, looking in a glass, stands a young girl eating a pear, while the only light in the room is from the candle in her hand.
The merriest living picture of all is the old-time ducking for apples. All the children can take part in this, and the large frame must be used. In the center stands a tub of water. At one side is a boy who has just lifted his head, all dripping, from the tub, Besides him is another youngster with his head apparently submerged in the water, etc., until the whole group is nicely placed in picture fashion. All eyes are centered upon the boy who has bobbed up with an apple tightly clutched in his teeth.
Pulling a head of cabbage is managed thus in a picture. A pretty girl sits blindfolded in a scene made to represent the kitchen. In her hands there is a big cabbage, just pulled from the ground. Her friends stand around laughing while her eyes are being unblinded. A head of very red cabbage adds to the picture.
All the old-fashioned Hallowe'en plays can be made thus in the living pictures with the result of novelty and entertainment for all.
A Surfeit of Hallowe'en,
An October-Colonnade.
Civilizing people in poor and bad quarters of great cities, through the medium of genteel and agreeable surroundings, is one of the specialties of theology Suffolk street clinic, not exactly resented dilution, but it took coldly at first to the reading room and boarding house for working girls theosophy see before it. Such things, being good, might stand, was its ultimate decree; and there it went on calmly reading its Russian and Polish and Italian and Hebrew and all these other languages necessary to its multicolored taste and requirements. It was entirely owing to the withering of Halloween and the inconsistencies of a troubling little god called Cupid that theosophy got its first boom on Suffolk street.
That morning, the young lady of the new reading room had said to Anita, the fruit seller, that she would give a little Halloween entertainment in the evening if she were only certain of a few guests from the neighborhood. This Anita told to honest Wong Lee, the laundry man, who, in turn, told it to all his customers, and toward night it bore fruit. The boarding house and reading room, no longer than the boxed-off floor of a huge warehouse, were up in a high night of steps like an adder. The young lady in charge of them, the reading room girl, got them in beautiful order, and when at 5 o'clock someone knocked at the door, she said "Come in" quite gleefully. A tall, slim girl in a plain brown dress and with a shawl over her head responded. She had a skin like the heart of a jasmine flower and the sublime brow of the Sistine Madonna. But when she spoke, though low and gentle, her voice was a musical suggestion of only East New York. Her name was Emily Anderson. "Emily," she said, and she was a paper box maker, living just around the corner with her widowed mother. And she had heard all about the Halloween entertainment, and she wanted to know it anybody could come who was respectable and knew how to behave.
"Yes; won't you come?" said the reading room girl.
Well, I guess I will, said Emily, after a moment. "And maybe I'll get some other girls to come and a young fellow or two, but you needn't be afraid of any scrap going on. I can keep them as good as gold! You see?"
The reading room girl said she knew she could. Then they both began talking as if they were old friends, and Emily told the secret that was weighing on her mind. She had broken with her sweetheart, who, though not exactly "though," had a quick temper, and was given to occasional "sprees." "To tell you the truth," admitted the lovely madonna, frankly, "that's just why I want to come here tonight. There's going to be a dance round to the Sullivan's pretty bad. Joe Sullivan, just loves whisky and if I go, Dave'll be there. His name is David Finn, and he's a plumber, and lead singer he'd pick a row with anybody just to make me speak to him. But I ain't ever going to be alone. I'm just dead sick of rowdies, and I'll never marry none on earth. I've just broken with him for good, I have, and I'd go to the ends of creation to jump the sight of him!"
Then Emily hoped that if any of the "boys" should come that night, the young lady wouldn't make them "mad" by talking well alone. Then she went down the steps sniffing scornfully.
It was quite plain to be seen that though the hot-tempered and spree-loving Dave had the madonna's respect, he still had a warm place in her woman's heart. At 8:30 in the evening, true to her word, Emily went back to her boarding house, but with a big, brown, good-looking young man alone. Who, but Mr. David Finn, the plumber himself. The rowdy, broken with, discarded sweetheart!
She presented him coolly, and without liter comment than that "the rest of them" would go to the Sullivan dance, she fell into silence.
The reading room girl and a tall young lady in a fashionable pink dress, who had come in to help with the Halloween festivity, tried to draw her out in vain. She would say "yes" and "no," and then go back to her thinking, looking all the while at some beautiful holy picture.
The disgraced Dave, on the contrary, proved a genial guest, and with a surprising talent for roasting chestnuts and apples just to the point. He was a winning rascal, too, on his own account, with a curly brown head and a big boy guffaw that would have touched a heart of stone. Yet at 10 o'clock Emily was still strangely silent. She did not even smile, not until the second masculine guest of the evening arranged a long row of twelve candles in little tin pots on the floor and lit them.
This gentleman had come all the way from Ireland to keep the peace on Suffolk Street, if it should be necessary; and he now informed the ladies that they were to try their states by jumping over the candles. These represented in rotation all the months of the year, and the candle extinguished by the jumping would be the month of matrimony. If they put out none at all, that would be a sign that they were to be old maids. The reading room girl jumped first and was at once laid on the shelf of single blessedness. The young lady in pink knocked over two candles, which proved she was to be married twice.
And then it came Emily's turn.
Emily had been holding back, looking on with the ghost of a laugh about the corners of her divine mouth; and now, without a word, she stood up and gathered together the simple folds of her brown dress. Poor Dave, lovesick to the ears, flamed red as a peony. "One, two, three," counted someone, and, with a running jump, the madonna whisked over the month of March.
"Oh, Miss Anderson," said the girl in pink, as the smoking candle lay on the floor, "you will be married in five months."
The reading room girl kissed her without a word, and Dave again changed color, this time from red to white. Then someone else declared that the claret smoking in the kitchen would be ruined, and after they had all run out to see, Emily said quite simply to Dave: "That's all right, Dave."
"You see," she explained afterwards to the reading room girl, her fast friend by now, "it was like this, I knew there'd be ducking for sips at Sullivan's, and going down the steps backward, and all the things to put men in a temper when they've taken on too much beer, and I just made up my mind Dave shouldn't go, and maybe get in a shindy and be showing up at Essex Market Sunday along with fan-tan China men and Dagoes. Any woman can keep a man straight if she wants, and there ain't many in the world as good as Dave. So, when I saw him in the street that night, I just called out: 'Hello, Dave! Want to go to a Halloween entertainment?' 'Don't I!' he says. And then I wouldn't speak another word but just to come along; and I don't think I'd have married him on earth if I hadn't come here and knocked over the March candle."
And so, though the whole of Suffolk Street has not yet been tamed, two loving and divided hearts are made one, and Halloween and theosophy are without doubt good things.

Caps have lost nothing of their vogue, being recognized universally as the most useful, if not the most ornamental garment extant. As the season advances, they are gradually increasing in length, and some of the latest goods are shaped like a flying gored skirt, with rich sable, jet bands or very narrow strips of fur, imparting a striped effect to the cape. Sometimes three or more materials are used for the same cape, velvet, moire, jetted net and fur.
The tailored costumes for utility uses, shopping, traveling, walking, etc., are made with round skirts that just clear the ground all around, either in gored shape or in modern bell form. Soft but rough-surfaced heather-mixed tweeds, wide-wale diagonals, English serges and cheviots are used for these suits. The coat is long-skirted and shows little or no fur trimming even on the collar and revers. The suit is simply machine-stitched, or finished at most, with rows of narrow braid, and en suite is a cape collar, of some sort of dark fur with medium-length stole fronts. This collar is not fastened to the coat, but is independent of it, and to be worn with any other out-of-door costume.
Alsatian bows appear to be the special garniture for most of the hats and bonnets of the season, whether made of velvet loops or of silk and satin ribbons, or of lace, fur, and feathers arranged to give an Alsatian effect. Soft ostrich plumes are curled away from the front on each side, two or three together, and held by a curved buckle of jet or Illinois stone. Some of the heavier camel's hair goods, cheviots and English tailor cloths have the popular frieze effect in stripes, dots and plaids, and others have stylish borders for the skirts, some having the appearance of bands of cloth in rich colors, on which are woven rows of perforated velvet in graduated widths, the perforations showing pretty glimpses of the contrasting color of the cloth beneath.
COVETED MILITARY,
Persistent Suitor: I neither drink, smoke, nor play cards. Dear Girl, do you think I'm going to marry a freak?
Miss Ethel Ingalls, the eldest daughter of ex-Senator Ingalls, was married last Wednesday in Atchison, Kan., to Dr. Edward Dice Ulair.
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Turrell of Machpelah, Mich., have just celebrated their ruby wedding, marking the sixty-fifth anniversary of their marriage.
A society belle was told that her fiancé was a foolish fellow. "I guess he is," she admitted. "It seems to me the smart men have quit marrying."
Miss Mary Wentworth Morrill of Providence, R.I., is to marry Field Marshal Lieutenant Johann von Hoskovitz of Austria late this month, at Trieste.
Miss Young I hear that Desolate Blueblood has married an Italian count. Mrs. Placid Maybe So. I heard a hand organ playing "The Fatal Wedding" in front of the house the other day.
The latest cable news from the other side brings a rumor that the duchess of Marlborough is about to marry Lord William Borscott. The Desermons are a race of gallant soldiers, but notably impecunious.
Then Halls, Tagg, what's that sign on your front door, "No admittance except on business?" Tagg: There have been so many young men calling on my daughter and so many visits have been so fruitless that I have adopted this plan to reduce the surplus.
If a girl is going to give a present to a young man whom she likes pretty well, she had better make no mistake and select a fancy china cup and saucer, even if he is a bachelor. He may propose to her some day, and the cup and saucer will be quite handy for the family.
An interesting event early in the month was the marriage at an advanced age of Mr. Stirling, the talented and popular English actor, to Sir Charles Gregory, who is 72.
As an actress, Mrs. Stirling enjoyed an exceptionally long stage career, extending even fifty-three years, from 1833 to 1880.
A native Yorker who attended the wedding of the duke of York has been giving his favorite newspaper upon his return to earth a graphic account of the ceremony. Here is an illustrative gem: "Afterward, the chaplain came and performed the ecclesiastical prejudice in accordance with the laws of Christianity, and prayed some more out of the bible." | 31 |

Minister's llcnmrkn Misquoted ,
The most significant feature of the cam
paign now drawing to n close Is the defec
tion of the republican voters from the head
of the ticket , In spite of the assertions of
the managers of the Majors campaign to
the contrary , the defection Is so serious that
It Is likely to become a stampede before the
day ot election. Thousands of staunch re
publicans In Nebraska have risen In revolt
against the attempt of the corporations to
foist a corruptlonlst upon the state. The re
volt Is not confined to any particular local
ity. It Isaa strong south of the Platte
river ns north of It. It Is as pronounced In
the eastern part of the state as In the far
western and , northwestern counller. If
stronger anywhere than In other places , It
Is the most formidable In those counties
which have the. longest been subject to cor
porate domination. Wherever the railroad
corporations , have In past years been most
active In their efforts to thwart the will of
the people , there the protest against Tom
Majors Is the strongest , and many counties
which have heretofore been looked upon as
republican strongholds will this year give
pluralities to the opponent of the republican
candidate for governor.
Two weeks ago The Bee addressed a. cir
cular letter to several hundred republican
subscribers to Its weekly edition , requesting
them to state whether the course taken by
this paper In the present campaign met with
their approval , The replies to these letters
are a very fair Index to the feeling among
republican farmers. Of the letters so far re
ceived and tabulated , between 40 and 45 per
cent of tho.wrltcrs declare that they ure
In full accord with the position of The Bee
and that they will not vote for Tom Majors.
These figures are suggestive. They repre
sent the sentiments ot thousands ot republi
can voters who will not permit the. fran-
chlsed corporations to whip them Into line
In support of an obnoxious candidate. They
prove that a largo percentage ot the republi
can voters of Nebraska propose to rebuke
corporate Interference. In. the management of
the party.
The B. & M. Journal has printed four or
five replies sent to The Bee In answer to the
circular letter. It will hardly care to print
the replies of the hundreds of men who rc-
fueo lo vote for the dishonest candidate for
governor. Following will ba found brief
excerpts from some of the letters. These
brief extracts tell the story ot republican
Indignation at the effort of the Burlington
rzar to foist ono of his henchmen upon the
Mate as Its governor. In each case the name
of the town from which the letter Is received
Is Riven. The names of the writers are with
held for the reason that The Bee assured
them that their replies would bo treated as
confidcnllal. The originals are all on file In

CONSIDEUS TOM A FIIAUD.
Nelson I fully endorse your position re
garding Tom Majors. Hav.ng lived In
the v.clnlty of I'eru from 1870 lo 1S80 I have
always cons dered him a first-class fraud.
Subsequent events have proved the correct
ness of my views. With a record of twenty-
five ycnM open to all who wish to Inquire , It
Is a mystery to mo how any honest man can
support him In his candidacy for governor.
Stella 1 think the position you have taken
In support of Judge llolcomb Is all right and
I shall vote for him. I think ceveral re
publicans here will vote for llolcomb. I
lived by the Hotcombs for one year onJ they
are all good toys. .
Ifumboldt I approve of the policy you ad
vocate. We want good government and Hol
comb is the man for governor.
Savage The course of The Bee In the
present campaign receives my approval nnd I
have heard other republicans In th s vicinity
express their opinions In the same way.
Meadow Grove Your course In regard to
Holcomb Is all rlslit. There are three other
republicans In my household that vote the
republican ticket and approve The Bee.
Madison I am perfectly satisfied with the
stand you have taken. I know of lots of re
publicans who will vote for Holcomb. Your
paper Is doing valuable woik for Holcomb.
Madison Your support of Judge Holcomb
meets my hearty approval.
Wllcox I like your fight on Majors.
Wayne I will vote for Holcomb , although
I have always heretofore voted the republi
can ticket. I have spoken to several republi
cans , who say they will also vote for Hoi-
comb , I have read your paper with Interest
and am convinced that we must put down
corporation rule at alt hazards.
Ainherst 1 am In favor of Judge Holcomb
and co is the majority In this party of the
county.
Donlphan I think your course In The Dee
Is right. I am a republican who believes that
he can vote against a bad man and still be a
republican. I um a fanner , and I could
vote for Majors better If his friends would
not call him n farmer , which wo know Is
dona to catch votes. A man who has run for
odlco twenty years Is not Just the kind of a
farmer that I like to vote for.
ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE EXTORTION.
Madison I honor your fearless denuncia
tion of the republican nomlneo for governor.
All that I have gleaned from the papers for
years would lead me to believe that Majors
Is an unscrupulous railroad tool and I never
took The Bco until the present year. I adpec
mlro your endorsement of Holcomb , a man
of the people , even If he Is the nominee of
another party. Let me say right here that
In conversation the other day with an lown
man , who Is at present shipping over Neth
brasla roads , he told me that the rate from
Stanton to Norfolk , a distance of twelve
miles , Is as great as- from his home In Iowa
to Burllneton , a. distance of 136 miles. If
Iowa roads can haul at a profit at such rates
and they certainly do or they would quit
the business why , In the name of Justice ,
cannot we have some relief from railroad
extortion.Vo never can have it so long as
we will meekly walk up to the polls and vote
for a man whom we know to bo
branded with perfidy , simply because he has
been foisted .upon the party by railroad
bosses. The Iowa man referred to said that
ho did not tee how the people In Nebraska
could make a living when they paid sueh a
heavy shipping tux.
Madison Your posftlon In support of
Judge Holcomb meets with my approval In
every respect.
Madison The position you have taken In
support of Judge Holcomb meets
my ap
proval. This is a democratic
community ,
but all are In favor of Holcomb for gov
ernor.
Amherst Your policy In opposing Majors '
and supporting Judge
Holcomb meets my
heartiest approval. I am a republican , but
' ! ll not vote lor any one who I have rea
son to believe owes his nomination to rail
road Influences.
Donlphan The position you take with re
gard to Majors Is In accord with all ( or
nc-arly all ) of the farmers In this neighbor
hood.
Herman I have been a republican ever
since there was a republican party. I have
voted no other ticket sine ? Lincoln was first
elected ; but I fully endorse the course of
The Ueo In referpnce to Judge Holcomb for
governor. I have talked with a great many
old republicans , In this county , who say that
they will not vote for Tom Majors. The
cornfields are full of just such republicans.
Gibbon I heartily approve of your stand
for Holcomb.pote for the principle of the
man , not the party ; I say d n the pops , but
Holcomb Is all right , and there are two of
us In this family that will vote for him.
NOT ONE IN FORTY-FIVE.
Wayne Your course Is right and meets
with my approval. On October 9 wo held
our township caucus. There were forty-five
republican voters present and I wanted to
find five straight republican names to send
to the state central committee , So I asked
them all , but found no one who would say
that he would vote the whole republican
ticket. Of course , this Is a farming town
ship. Of the forty-live republicans not more
than six are Dee readers , so , you see , It Is '
not Hoscwatcr alone that opposes Tom
Majors , as his friends claim all over the
state. I have been a republican ever since
1870 , but I can't support the biggest part
of our state ticket this year. I was In the
state convention , so I know the ticket was
not nominated by the delegates , but was
fixed up by the pluggers.
Virginia : "There are four voters In our
family nnd I am sure we will give Holcomb
four votes. "
Wavcrly : "The position The Bee has
taken In the present campaign suits me
entirely , especially the Interest taken In the
laboring classes nnd farmers. There are
several of my neighbors who will not vote
for Majors , The farmer dodge doesn't catch
any suckers among the farmers I have seen , "
Guide Rock : "I heartily approve your
position. I will support Holcomb for gov
ernor , as will one other republican voter
of my household. "
Chester : "The position you have taken In
supporting Holccmb for governor meets my
approval , as well as three other republicans
In my house. I don't know ot any Tom
Majors men In this part of the country. "
Lyons : " 1 shall vote for Holcomb for
governor , but for the rest of the republicans
on the * ticket. "
Table Rock ; "I approve of the course ot
The Ilee , and although a lifelong- republican
I shall vote for Holcomb. "
Oakland : "I am an old line republican ,
but consider an honest man above party al
legiance and shall cast my vote for Holcomb.
The course of The Bee meets my hearty
approval. "
Savage ; "Your stand In regard to Hol
comb Is Just , and I hope ho will be our next !
governor. When the republican party gets
BO low that It has to nominate such men
as Tom Majors and the rest of the ring , It
is tlmo to put them down. "
Madison : "Tho course of The Bee meets
my hearly approval. I have no sympathy
for such men as Tom Majors , and It seams
that the republican party should have chosen
a man with a clear record. I have been a
republican ever since the party was organ
ized , but I cannot go Tom Majors. I shall
vote for Holcomb , "
Lyons "Your course with regard to |
Majors Is In accord with my views , and I
hope you will keep It up. "
St. Edwards : "I can endorse your posi
tion with reference to Majors and It suits
Mr. , my renter. "
St. Edwards : "I have been a republican :
voter but five years , but your course In
reference to Holcomb meets my approval I. "
Bennett : "I am In accord with your views
In support ot Judge Hoicomb and hive been
doing all I can to defeat our tattooed candi

Gresham ; "I can hardly swallow the head ;
of the ticket this year. "

CRUSADE FOR CHEAP BREAD

WASHINGTON , Oct. 28. In view of the
crusade for cheaper bread Inaugurated In a
number of cities , Including Washington ,
where the price has been reduced from 5
cents toI cents a leaf , as a result of the
crusade , the Agricultural department has
given a bulletin out on "The Cost of Bread , "
taken from the forthcoming report of Prof.
W. 0. Atwatcr on the nutritive value of food.
It says :
"In practice 100 pounds of flour wilt make
from 133 to 137 pounds of bread , the average
being about 136 loaves. Flour , such as Is
used by bakers. Is now purchased In the
eastern states at not over $4 per barrel. This
would make the cost of the flour In a pound
ot bread , about IVi cents. Allowing ' , { cent
for the [ shortening and salt , which Is cer
tainly very liberal , the materials for a pound
c ! . bread would cost not moro than 2 cents.
n. course , there should be added to this the
cost of labor , rent. Interest on Investment ,
expense of selling , etc. , to make the actual
cosECS to the baker.
"Very few accurate weighings and analy
ECS ot bakers' bread have been made In
this country , so far as I am aware , but the
above < statements represent the facts as
nearly as I have been able to obtain them. "
"The averags weight of a number of speci
mens of 10-cent loaves purchased in Middle-
town . , Conn. , was one and one-fourth pound ; .
This makes the price to the consumer 8
cents per pound. The price of bread and
the sizs of loaf
are practically the same
now as when flour cost twice as much. The
cost of bakers' bread Is comparat vely small
to the person who buys only a loaf now and
then , but In the eastern states and In the
larger towns throughout the country , many
people , and espsclally those with moderate In
comes ana the poor buy their bread of the
baker. ! Six cents per pound , or even half
that amount , for the manufacture and dis
tribution ( , seems a very large amount. In
the ( large cities competition has made bread
much cheaper , but even there the d fference
between the cost of bread to the well-to-do
family , who bake It themselves , a'nd the fam
ily | | of the poor man , who buys It of the
baker ' , Is unfortunately large. "
The report also goes Into the chemistry
and scientific features of bread-making , showIng -
Ing | a total of 68 rcr cent nutriment an3 42
per cent water. In wheat flour the total
nutriments are 8S per cent and water 12 per
cent , showing that the nutriments are largely
reduced by bak nc. The potential energy
In a pound cf Hour Is 2,000 per cent ; In a
pound of bakers' bread , 1,300 per cent.
With the Increase in the proportion of water
In the bread ns compared .with the flour , the
proportion ot nutriments Is diminished , but
the addition of shortening and sail brings up
the fat and minerals In the bread , so the
proportions arc larger than In flour. t.
AltUITIC 1TION TIIII LAST IlZ'SOHr.
G mtctniila unit Mexico Will SntntiU to tlv-
Hl7iMl Mothmlt or Spilling Ils | > ut .
WASHINGTON , Oct. 28. Senor La.o Ar-
rlga , the Gautemalan minister , made today
the following statement In regard to the
present difficulties between hla country and
Mexico : "With the object of ending the old
and vexatious boundary question , the prelimInary -
Inary basis for a definite treaty was agreed
upon and signed in New York iClty August
12 , 1882 , and the "formal treaty was sub
scribed to September 7 of the same year.
"In the preliminary treaty It wfls agreed
among other points that for the demarca-
tlon of the boundary line the actual posses-
sion should be generally considered a base ,
but that the governments , by agreement ,
could change this rule by making mutual
compensations ; that under the boundary
line , as marked , each of the contracting par
ties should respect the party In actual posses
sion , and that , in the event that said parties
should not agree about the total or partial
designation of the line , the differences that
would rise should be settled by arbitration of
the president of the Unltej States of
America.
"The final treaty provides that a parallel ,
beginning near Ixbul , shall run east to the
Usumaslnta river. If this river was to be
reached In that direction : or to the Chixoy
river If the former was not In the way of
said parallel. This parallel did not reach
the Usumaslnta , being not of It , and , accord
ing to the treaty , said parallel should have
stopped at the Chlxoy river , but the Mexican
engineers endeavored to prolong It to the
Cancuen river , under the groundless asser
tion that this Is the Usumaslnta river , thus
giving to Mexico over 1,000 square miles of
the Gautemalan territory. The government
ot Qautcmala made a very strong protest
thereon and the Alcxlcan government ac
cepted Its views on this point , although under
the condition that no other similar question
should rise. There were no other difficulties
,
In fact .except very small differences In the
work ot the engineers , and this they think
can be arranged by themselves.
"In the meantime each ot the two govern
ments has preserved , according to the treaty ,
the dominion of the respective territory that
will bo annexed by the other upon the final
demarcation of the boundary lines and
au
thorities of the two countries have
con
cessions to cut mahogany In said territories ,
Ficm an Immemorial time
Qautemala has
is
been In possession , unquestioned by Mexico ,
of a large portion of the land located on the
west side of the
Chlxoy and Usumaslnta
rivers , and upon this territory being Invaded !
recently by Mexicans , the Gautemalan author
r-
ities were oblleed to expel them and to rfl
pro
test against Invasion , asking at the flic
same
time for a due explanation but
; the Atexlcan
government now asserts that
said
belongs to Mexico territory
, evidently misinformed ryy
lls-Engineers.
- The
government of
Gautetnala
had not then , nor has not at present
armed force outside of Its own territory , " any
Senor Laze Arrlga believes iyn
that
as
soon
the
as Mexican government
Is Informed of
the real facts It
wjll change Its
attitude
toward Gautcmala and also believes that loa
a
war between the two
nations Is
a
very Im
probable contingency , not only because the
present dlfllcultles are not of great Impor
r-
tance , but chiefly because the treaty provides
that all questions Incident to the demarcation
of the boundary line shall be settled
above stated , by the civilized means of , as
arbl-
-
tratlon. Should the actual difficulties
added
reach this point the president of the United
States will be requested to act
as arbitrator.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 2R The Japanese le
gation today received a dispatch which confirms
firm the news published this morning In
dispatches from Shanghal'cf a second victory
of the Japanese army linger Marihal Yama-
get * . The telegram Is ilaUil Hiroshima and
reads as fallow-si ,
"Deforo dawn of October'BC our army , un
der Marshal Yamageta , attacked Kln-Len-
Chcng , one of the Important strongholds on
the | Chinese frontier. The' ' place was defended -
fended by 1C.OOO troops under Generals Lin
and Song. They fl d , after ; offering only a
ellght resistance , and the Japanese forces
took possession ot the fortifications and the
city. They captured thirty ( large field guns ,
ar | Immense quantity of rfe | , food of other
kinds , etc. , and more tlian 300 tents. The
Japanese loss was twenty killed nnd eighty-
three wounded. The Chinese lost more than
200 killed ; the exact number ot their wounded
Is not i known. "
iII
II Is believed at the Japanese legation that
the General Lin mentioned In the above dis
patch Is the noted Chinese commander who
played ; such a prominent part during the
Tonklng difficulty and to whom It was re
cently reported Viceroy LIHung ) Chang had
offered the chief command ot the Chinese
army. The Japanese legation has received
Us first mall of Japanese- newspapers since
the battle of Yalu ami Ping-Yang and they
arc filled with the details ot tie engagements ,
lists of killed and wounded , accounts of heroIsm -
Ism and other evidences ol war. The bad
tactical methods of the Chinese soldiers ex
cite the derision of the Japanese.
The latter point out that tlio Chinese erect
breastworks and then sit quietly within them
without throwing out skirmishers to Imrrass
the enemy. The Chinese soldiers also raise
a number of banners just a they fire a vol
ley , so the Japanese troops also know when
a shower of lead Is Impending. The Chinese
also exhaust their cartridges In the maga
zine guns aa fast as the > | can lire them ,
making a hall of bullets and then a long
calm. The rifles captured from the Chinese
show rust of long standing- and other care
less treatment.
A touching story Is told of a Japanese
bugler who had Just sounded the "charge"
when he received a bullet in the breast. Ho
was urged to lay aside his bug ) ; , as a fresh
exertion would make tt hemorrhage , proving
fatal. His reply was another blast ot the
"chargo" as ho toppled ovor.

MaJuMf'n Order.
BERLIN. Oct. 28 , It Is expected that the
appointment ot Prince von Hohenlohe as Im
perial German chancellor to succeed Count
von Caprlvl will be gazetted tomorrow. It
Is also explained that the Gazette v.111 contain
the announcement that Hcrr von Kocllcr ,
under . secretary ot the Interior for the prov
ince of Alsace-Lorraine , has been appoint d
Prussian minister of the Interior , vice. Count
nuhlenberg , who held that office. In addition
to being political president ot the Prussian
ministerial council. Uoth Prlnco von Hohen-
loho and Herr von Kocllcr this morning ac
companied the emperor and empress to Berlin
from Potsdam , They spent the day In the
city and the four returned together to Pots
dam at C o'clock this evening. They dined
and spent the evening at the new palace nt
Potsdam and will return to Berlin tomorrow ,
when Herr von Koeller will probably enter
upon his duties nt the ministry of the In-
tcrlor.
CAUSES OF THE ROW.
As the political situation clarifies the re-
tlrement of Count \on Caprhl from the c' an
cellorshlp assumes still further the character
of an actual dismissal. The trouble ap
pears to have originated In the emperor's
reception recently of a deputation of enst
I'rus Ian agrirlons eai > J by Cou a Zeu Huh-
Icnberg. The deputation was submissive , but
the agrarian organization used the reception
as proof that the emperor was favorable to
Euhlcnberg. The latter appeared to be de
termined to remain In office. Von Caprlvl
submitted n memorandum to the emperor on
Tuesday offering to resign If Count Kuhlen"er
berg remained In office.
Being forced to choose between the two.
the emperor , as Is known , gave his unqual
ified , approval to Count von Coprlvl's policy.
Thereupon , as a set-off to the emperor's re
ception of the agrarians , the article In the
Cologne Gazette attacking Count Eiihlenberg
appeared. Euhlenbcrg resigned on Friday
morning. The emperor sent Herr von Lu-
ciinus , chief ot the civil cabinet , to ask Von
Caprlvl whether he had Inspired the article
In the Gazette. Von Caprivl replied In the
negative , but expressed his sympathy with
that paper's views The emperor then sum
moned Count von Caprivl and demanded a
public disavowal of the article. Von Caprlvi
repeated that lie had not Inspired the article
and would not publish a disclaimer , because
he agreed with Its views. He now hud no
alternative but to resign , which he did. It
Is now known as a fact that the emperor
tried to reconcile the personal differences be
tween the two men , but failed.
Comments ( are made on the curious erup
tion of the imperial personal idlosyncraclcs
Into the domain of government , Had ( Ja-
p.-lvl been discarded for the purpose of In
augurating an alternative policy , the public
could repdtly understand the change , but
that a new chancellor should be appointed
to execute exactly the same pollpy his pre
decessor advocated , Is altogether a new de
velopment of political Ideas.
HIS TENURE TJEMPOHARY.
" > rlncV oT11o1 n1oTiir rslIc < r CduhT * Yon
Caprlvl today , The latter will enjoy a pen
sion as ex-chancellor , but his army pension
wlt' ( bi cancelled. After a visit to Geneva
he .intends . to take up his permanent resi
heBi with his nieces on their estate in
Brandenburg. Prince von Hohenlohc's age
he Is noV 75 years old Is regarded as pre
cluding a long tenura of office or active par
ticipation In affairs , and especially In the
Helen stag.
The Iniperlal policy will nowmore - than
ever bo under the personal guidance of the
emperor , to the no small alarm of all liberal
minded Germans , who compare the seeming
Instability of the emperor's character with
the steady purpose and alms o'C the old Em
peror William.
It has now become known that Count von
EuhlenbcrR Introduced the East Prussian
agrarian delegation to the emperor without
notifying or consulting Von Caprivl. The
latler's resentment Is , therefore , considered
to bo Justifiable. The choice ot Prince von
Hohenloho Insures the continuance of the
colonial policy as heretofore. He obtained
favor In France as Gorman ambassador ,
though ho has no Idea of any territorial
restoration. In homo policy he Is a moderate
conservative.
Herr von Koeller , the new Prussian min
ister of the InUrlor , Is in Prlnco von Ilolien-
lohe's confidence , but his policy Is more
doubtful. Ho has been strongly Identified
\dtti the anti-socialist and anti-Semitic move
ments. It Is hoped , however , that his Jong
connection with Prlnco von Hohenlohe has
subdued his moro extreme views. While
Marshal von Blebersteln retains the port
folio of Imperial minister of foreign affairs a
reactlcnary policy may bo regarded as 1m-
possible.
ORIGIN OF A FAKE.
He recently Informed the emperor that It
any such policy were adopted against Count
von Caprtvi's wish ho should feel obliged to
relinquishMnco. It was this probability that
gave- origin to the baseless rumor circulated
by an alleged newspaper agency that ho had
resigned.
Tim , United press seized upon this In-
tanclblo rumor as an actual fact and added
that Ir , Von lioetlclier , Imperial secretary
oj the Interior , would follow the foreign
minister out of olllce. This story. It Is un
derstood here , was published in America , but
the Associated press Is In a position to deny
there Is any truth In It. The facts are as
above stated.
Late tonight a rumor Is current that the
emperor wants to appoint Count 54cu Euhlen-
berg governor of Alsace-Lorraine , but that
Prince von Hohenlohe opposes It. The prince
has also made. It Is said , his acceptance of
the chancellorship dependent upon several
alterations In the Prussian ministry. There
Is 1 no reliable news of any changes being
rnndo In the Imperial cabinet.
A feature of the situation that cannot be
rightly omitted Is the universal chorus of
eulogies of Count von Caprlvl in the
press of all parties. Even the Vorwaerts , the
organ of the socialists , admits that ho Is a
man to bo respected , while the Rlsmarcklan
press speaks of him with becoming courtesy.
The ultra-conservative Kriuz XeUiing , after
a hasty outburst of exultation over his down
fall , quotes this In today's Issue : "That It
beats no 111 will toward htm. "
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE AFFAIR.
LONDON. Oct. 28. A special dispatch to
the Times from Paris , says the appointment
of Prlnco von Hohenloho OB German chan
cellor Is construed as a pacific symptom.
The correspondent of the Times at Vienna
says the resignation of Caprlvl has made a
very unfavorable Impression In the Austrian
capital. It Is taken to Indicate' the Instabil
ity of the government ot Germany
A dispatch to the Times from Berlin says
It IB believed that the only departmental
changes likely to follow the change In the
chancellorship and the Prussian ministry wilt
bo those necessary lo prevent friction In the
stale machinery. The emperor being spe
cially anxious for the continuity of the pres
ent foreign policy , Daron Marshal von Ble-
bersteln , secretary of state for foreign af
fairs , will retain office. The crisis , therefore
fore , remains an Internal , and In the em
peror's view , merely a personal one ,
Whether It was necessary for such a > so
to subject the country to such a ? re
shock la another question. As a Berlin
paper cynically remarked , there are two men
overboard , but the course remains unchanged.
Perhaps the only personage who may ed.be
sincerely congratulated la Count von Caprlvl.

LONDON ' , Oct. 28. The liberals last night
opened their electoral campaign at Ilradford ,
where a meeting wits held which was at
tended by 5,000 psople. Prime Minister Rose-
bery ; delhered the principal speech of the
cvcnlnc. He said that In his opinion the
next general election would not be fought on
the homo rule , disestablishment ot the
church In AVale * or the liquor question , but
on a question which would Include them all.
The matter of the House of Lords was the
greatest legislative question that had nrlsen
In two centuries. U had long been evident
to . him that drastic dealing with the House
of Lords must precede the full realization of
other political programs.
"Wo boast of our free Institutions , thanking
Goil that we are not as other men are and nil
the time -we endiiro this mockery of free
dom. 1 " He confessed freely that all experi
ence pointed to the necessity of a second
chamber af some fort , but to his mind it
was an absolute danger and nn Invitation
to revolution that there should be a second
chamber In the position of the House of
Lords. It was , therefore , as a lover of leg
islation and freedom that ho Implored the
people to take this question Into Immediate
consideration. The powers of the House of
Lords over finance had been restricted by
resolution of the House of Commons. The
upper hou&e had also been restricted regardIng -
Ing Interference with the elections. There
fore a resolution which the government would
Introduce would declare In clear terms that
the House of 'Commons , In partnership with
the House of Lords , Is the unmistakably pre
dominant partner. To Instance the responsi
bility of the government It would represent
a Joint J demand of the executive government
nnd the Commons for a revision of the con
stitution. After some ueeful legislation had
been passed at the next session the govern-
muit would nsk the Commons to pass the
resolution ; then It would appeal to the
country.

WILKEStlARRE , Pa. , Oct. 28. A larg
Hungarian boarding house at Laurel Hun ,
this county , was blown to atoms by dyna
miters at 3 o'clock this morning , and Hires
ot the Inmates were killed outright , four
fatally Injured nnd half a dozen seriously
hurt. The k lied nrc :

The most dangerously Injured are :

Michael Urltz , abdomen torn.
lllash Krell , both arms broken.
Fflhr Kotsch , shoulder broken and Injure !
internally.
Anthony Sechleck , back and breast crushed.
Urltz Mlshko , legs crushed.
The fiends who planned the explosion did
their work well , despite the fact that part ot
the plan fa led. They place-d about twenty-
four itlclcs of dynamite under the building ,
each being about nine Inches long and
weighing about halt a pound , A wire con
nected the sticks with a battery about llfty
yards away. When the Glgnul was given
only about halt a dozen of the sticks ex
ploded. They wcro fiulllc ent , however , to
completely wreck the building , not a beam
or plank of which was left standing.
Several of the Inmates who occupied the
upper floor were hurled fifty feet In the air ,
some of them escaping fatal Injuries by light
ing on the trtcs near by. Half dazed by
fear , they managed to hoIJ on to the limbs
of the trees until they recovered their senses
ami were able ta reach the ground , The *
track walker , who arrived on the scene
shortly after the explosion , says It resembled
a battlefield.
AIDING THE INJURED.
The cries of the Injured wcro heartrending1.
Some of them were In the trees ; others wcro
lylnc on the ground and under the debris
of the wrecked building. Ore ot the boarders
who escaped Injury made his way to n neigh
boring shanty and woke the Inmates. Blan
kets and boddlnc were carried to the scene
and the Injured made ns comfortable aa
possible. At daylight the officials of the Le-
hlgh Valley railroad were notified and a
special train , with a number ot physicians ,
was hurried lo the icono. The doctors
dressed the wounds of the Injured , who were
then brought to the hospital In this city.
The boarding boss says he Is at a loss to know
what prompted the dastardly deed. As far
as ho knows , he has no enemies In the worjd.
Some of the boarders think the motive was
tobbery , as several of them were known to
have considerable money In tlielr possession. .
If this was the object 61 the flneds , It la
plain why they placed so.-much of the- explo
sive under the building.-They wanted to
( illI every person In" the building In order to
eel the plunder nnd then escape detection.
Up-tD-7 a'cloch-tonlght no-arrests have been
Inn do.
Ono of the wounded men says that Immci-
dhtely after the explosion he saw four
strange men running douwn the road leading
to the village at Miner' * Mills , They carried
lanterns. While hu lay on the ground , an
other stranger approached htm and rifled his
pockets. He also cut the belt which encir
cled his waist and carried It away.
Another of the Injured elves It as hit
opinion that the men seen on the ground
after the explosion were tramps. The dyna
miters used Plttsburg dynamite , which fact
may lead to their discovery , as dynamite ol
that character Is used by the railroad con
tractors , whoso tool housa Is near thescene. .
The house had been broken open and a new'
battery taken out. An old battery was found
near by. The supposition Is that the latter
Is the one that did the work and the now on
was btlll In reserve.
Michael Bcllakovltch , the proprietor ot the
boarding house , was arrested tonight and
sent to jail. The authorities say they want
him as a witness.

stuff had been sent here on consignment
from a , Chicago house to a local hardware
merchant. It Is presumed a rifle bullet fired
by a hunter Into the building lodged In some
ponder that was In storage und that the per
son lost his life. The ground was torn up tea
a great depth for some distance , while trees
and fences for many rods were torn and
twIMed and quiten number of trees were
pulled up by the roots. The glass In every
farm house for miles around was shattered.
In this city tlfb effect was disastrous to the
Plato glass fronts , and windows In numbers

The shock came while people were on their

Minister's Remarks Misquoted,
The most significant feature of the campaign now drawing to a close is the defection of the republican voters from the head of the ticket. In spite of the assertions of the managers of the Majors campaign to the contrary, the defection is so serious that it is likely to become a stampede before the day of election. Thousands of staunch republicans in Nebraska have risen in revolt against the attempt of the corporations to foist a corrupt politician upon the state. The revolt is not confined to any particular locality. It is as strong south of the Platte river as north of it. It is as pronounced in the eastern part of the state as in the far western and northwestern counties. If stronger anywhere than in other places, it is the most formidable in those counties which have the longest been subject to corporate domination. Wherever the railroad corporations have in past years been most active in their efforts to thwart the will of the people, there the protest against Tom Majors is the strongest, and many counties which have heretofore been looked upon as republican strongholds will this year give pluralities to the opponent of the republican candidate for governor.
Two weeks ago The Bee addressed a circular letter to several hundred republican subscribers to its weekly edition, requesting them to state whether the course taken by this paper in the present campaign met with their approval. The replies to these letters are a very fair index to the feeling among republican farmers. Of the letters so far received and tabulated, between 40 and 45 percent of the writers declare that they are in full accord with the position of The Bee and that they will not vote for Tom Majors. These figures are suggestive. They represent the sentiments of thousands of republican voters who will not permit the franchised corporations to whip them into line in support of an obnoxious candidate. They prove that a large percentage of the republican voters of Nebraska propose to rebuke corporate interference in the management of the party.
The B. & M. Journal has printed four or five replies sent to The Bee in answer to the circular letter. It will hardly care to print the replies of the hundreds of men who refuse to vote for the dishonest candidate for governor. Following will be found brief excerpts from some of the letters. These brief extracts tell the story of republican indignation at the effort of the Burlington star to foist one of his henchmen upon the state as its governor. In each case, the name of the town from which the letter is received is given. The names of the writers are withheld for the reason that The Bee assured them that their replies would be treated as confidential. The originals are all on file in this office.
Calhoun - I am a republican; am in favor of Holcomb for governor, but not for Majors.
Calhoun - I will say that you have my approval in regard to the course which The Bee has taken in the present campaign, and as for Judge Holcomb, myself and many republicans in this locality expect to support him at the coming election.
Brownville - I approve of your course in supporting Judge Holcomb.
Stella - The course of The Bee in regard to Tom Majors is heartily endorsed by the majority of the people in this place, regardless of politics.
Verdon - I think that the course pursued by The Bee is all right.
Dunbar - The course of The Bee in the present campaign, especially in reference to Judge Holcomb, is to me quite satisfactory. Other republican voters with whom I have had the opportunity to speak upon this matter have expressed their approval of your position in support of Judge Holcomb and are in accord with the position of The Bee toward Majors.
Gibbon - I am a Holcomb man, and have been from the beginning, and I only hope that, regardless of politics, he will be our next governor.
Carlo - The course of The Bee meets my heartiest approval and more especially do I honor your position in regard to Judge Holcomb in the support you are giving him for governor. There is nothing I admire more than honesty in political matters, nothing I detest more than party bondage that ignores principles. Permit me to add (without a thought of selfishness) that your recent stand has given you not only a higher place in my estimation, but a very exalted one; and my sincere wish is that the respect at which you aim may be accomplished, and for which I shall use my little influence and cast my vote. Go on, my dear sir, and may your influence do much. May it be the means of having the fame of Nebraska from being stained by the election of such a man as Thomas J., Majors for governor.
Calhoun - Your stand meets my hearty approval in regard to those two men, and Harvard - I am satisfied with The Bee; and but for the course of The Bee bringing to light the dishonest doings of Majors, I would undoubtedly have supported him, but, as it is, it is my duty to support an honest man for governor, I shall throw my influence and support to Holcomb. These are also my brother's sentiments.
Wayne - I heartily endorse your position in the present campaign and your support of Judge Holcomb and your policy toward Majors. There are no other republicans in my household except my wife, whom The Bee has converted to Holcomb. Many staunch republicans here will vote for Judge Holcomb.
Wymore - Any man that will kill a bill like the maximum freight bill, as I understand Tom Majors did, will lose my vote and my support. I am for Holcomb.
Cortland - I am heartily in favor of the course The Bee is taking in fearlessly exposing political tricksters, I like The Bee on that account, and take it for that purpose. As people, we are greatly indebted to you for standing for honesty and for fearlessly exposing the dishonesty of our lawmakers.
As a republican, I and my two sons, will support him near as we know how the most honest man for governor. I like pure religion and pure politics.
Raymond - I fully approve your course in supporting Judge Holcomb for governor. In my opinion, he is the better man of the two and I can't (crutch) Tattooed Tom.
Wymore - I will say that, as a republican, I am very much pleased and that at an old soldier boy, I would like to take hands with you in favor of Holcomb.
Colgate - My opinion is that you are on the right course and I hope that Majors will not be elected. I have talked with a number of my neighbors and they are of my opinion.
CONSIDER TOM A FRAUD.
Nelson - I fully endorse your position regarding Tom Majors. Having lived in the vicinity of Peru from 1870 to 1880, I have always considered him a first-class fraud. Subsequent events have proved the correctness of my views. With a record of twenty-five years open to all who wish to inquire, it is a mystery to me how any honest man can support him in his candidacy for governor.
Stella - I think the position you have taken in support of Judge Holcomb is all right and I shall vote for him. I think several republicans here will vote for Holcomb. I lived by the Holcombs for one year and they are all good men.
If Humboldt I approve of the policy you advocate. We want good government and Holcomb is the man for governor.
Savage The course of The Bee in the present campaign receives my approval and I have heard other republicans in this vicinity express their opinions in the same way.
Meadow Grove Your course in regard to Holcomb is all right. There are three other republicans in my household that vote the republican ticket and approve The Bee.
Madison I am perfectly satisfied with the stand you have taken. I know of lots of republicans who will vote for Holcomb. Your paper is doing valuable work for Holcomb.
Madison Your support of Judge Holcomb meets my hearty approval.
Wilcox I like your fight on Majors.
Wayne I will vote for Holcomb, although I have always heretofore voted the republican ticket. I have spoken to several republicans, who say they will also vote for Holcomb, I have read your paper with interest and am convinced that we must put down corporation rule at all hazards.
Amherst I am in favor of Judge Holcomb and that is the majority in this party of the county.
Doniphan I think your course in The Bee is right. I am a republican who believes that he can vote against a bad man and still be a republican. I am a farmer, and I could vote for Majors better if his friends would not call him a farmer, which we know is done to catch votes. A man who has run for office twenty years is not just the kind of a farmer that I like to vote for.
ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE EXTORTION.
Madison I honor your fearless denunciation of the republican nominee for governor. All that I have gleaned from the papers for years would lead me to believe that Majors is an unscrupulous railroad tool and I never took The Bee until the present year. I appreciate your endorsement of Holcomb, a man of the people, even if he is the nominee of another party. Let me say right here that in conversation the other day with an Iowa man, who is at present shipping over Nebraska roads, he told me that the rate from Stanton to Norfolk, a distance of twelve miles, is as great as from his home in Iowa to Burlington, a distance of 136 miles. If Iowa roads can haul at a profit at such rates and they certainly do or they would quit the business, why, in the name of Justice, cannot we have some relief from railroad extortion. We never can have it so long as we will meekly walk up to the polls and vote for a man whom we know to be branded with perfidy, simply because he has been foisted upon the party by railroad bosses. The Iowa man referred to said that he did not see how the people in Nebraska could make a living when they paid such a heavy shipping tax.
Madison Your position in support of Judge Holcomb meets with my approval in every respect.
Madison The position you have taken in support of Judge Holcomb meets my approval. This is a democratic community, but all are in favor of Holcomb for governor.
Amherst Your policy in opposing Majors and supporting Judge Holcomb meets my heartiest approval. I am a republican, but will not vote for anyone who I have reason to believe owes his nomination to railroad influences.
Doniphan The position you take with regard to Majors is in accord with all (or nearly all) of the farmers in this neighborhood.
Herman I have been a republican ever since there was a republican party. I have voted no other ticket since Lincoln was first elected; but I fully endorse the course of The Bee in reference to Judge Holcomb for governor. I have talked with a great many old republicans in this county, who say that they will not vote for Tom Majors. The cornfields are full of just such republicans.
Gibbon I heartily approve of your stand for Holcomb, vote for the principle of the man, not the party; I say down with the pops, but Holcomb is all right, and there are two of us in this family that will vote for him.
NOT ONE IN FORTY-FIVE.
Wayne Your course is right and meets with my approval. On October 9 we held our township caucus. There were forty-five republican voters present and I wanted to find five straight republican names to send to the state central committee, so I asked them all, but found no one who would say that he would vote the whole republican ticket. Of course, this is a farming township. Of the forty-five republicans, not more than six are Bee readers, so, you see, it is not Hoosier alone that opposes Tom Majors, as his friends claim all over the state. I have been a republican ever since 1870, but I cannot support the biggest part of our state ticket this year. I was in the state convention, so I know the ticket was not nominated by the delegates, but was fixed up by the pluggers.
Virginia: "There are four voters in our family and I am sure we will give Holcomb four votes."
Waverly: "The position The Bee has taken in the present campaign suits me entirely, especially the interest taken in the laboring classes and farmers. There are several of my neighbors who will not vote for Majors, The farmer dodge doesn't catch any suckers among the farmers I have seen."
Guide Rock: "I heartily approve your position. I will support Holcomb for governor, as will one other republican voter of my household."
Chester: "The position you have taken in supporting Holcomb for governor meets my approval, as well as three other republicans in my house. I don't know of any Tom Majors men in this part of the country."
Lyons: "I shall vote for Holcomb for governor, but for the rest of the republicans on the ticket."
Table Rock: "I approve of the course of The Bee, and although a lifelong republican, I shall vote for Holcomb."
Oakland: "I am an old line republican, but consider an honest man above party allegiance and shall cast my vote for Holcomb. The course of The Bee meets my hearty approval."
Savage: "Your stand in regard to Holcomb is just, and I hope he will be our next governor. When the republican party gets so low that it has to nominate such men as Tom Majors and the rest of the ring, it is time to put them down."
Madison: "The course of The Bee meets my hearty approval. I have no sympathy for such men as Tom Majors, and it seems that the republican party should have chosen a man with a clear record. I have been a republican ever since the party was organized, but I cannot vote for Tom Majors. I shall vote for Holcomb."
Lyons: "Your course with regard to Majors is in accord with my views, and I hope you will keep it up."
St. Edwards: "I can endorse your position with reference to Majors and it suits Mr. my renter."
St. Edwards: "I have been a republican voter but five years, but your course in reference to Holcomb meets my approval."
Bennett: "I am in accord with your views in support of Judge Holcomb and have been doing all I can to defeat our tattooed candidate and expect to do my best until after the election."
Gresham: "I can hardly swallow the head of the ticket this year."
Lyons: "It would be poor policy to support a man that has proven himself completely worthless to the state as Majors seems to have done. I am in favor of honest men, whether they are republicans or democrats."
Orchard: "I am very much pleased with The Bee and its straightforward way of exposing bad deeds of any man, no matter what party he belongs to, I and my brother (Continued on Second Page)."
CRUSADE FOR CHEAP BREAD
Agricultural Department Issues a Synopsis of Prof. Atwater's 'Report on the Cost.
POOR MAN'S FOOD IS QUITE HIGH
Present Price Regarded by the Department and
Killing Too Dear for the Consumer of Bread (Grammatical at
Linker Product
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. In view of the
crusade for cheaper bread inaugurated in a
number of cities, including Washington,
where the price has been reduced from 5
cents to 3 cents a loaf, as a result of the
crusade, the Agricultural department has
given a bulletin out on "The Cost of Bread,"
taken from the forthcoming report of Prof.
W.O. Atwater on the nutritive value of food.
It says:
"In practice 100 pounds of flour will make
from 133 to 137 pounds of bread, the average
being about 136 loaves. Flour, such as is
used by bakers, is now purchased in the
eastern states at not over $4 per barrel. This
would make the cost of the flour in a pound
of bread, about 4 1/2 cents. Allowing 1/2 cent
for the shortening and salt, which is certainly very liberal, the materials for a pound
of bread would cost not more than 2 cents.
Of course, there should be added to this the
cost of labor, rent, Interest on Investment,
expense of selling, etc., to make the actual
cost to the baker.
"Very few accurate weighings and analyses
of bakers' bread have been made in
this country, so far as I am aware, but the
above statements represent the facts as
nearly as I have been able to obtain them."
"The average weight of a number of specimens of 10-cent loaves purchased in Middletown,
Conn., was one and one-fourth pound; This makes the price to the consumer 8
cents per pound. The price of bread and
the size of loaf
are practically the same
now as when flour cost twice as much. The
cost of bakers' bread is comparatively small
to the person who buys only a loaf now and
then, but in the eastern states and in the
larger towns throughout the country, many
people, especially those with moderate incomes and the poor, buy their bread of the
baker. Six cents per pound, or even half
that amount, for the manufacture and distribution,
seems a very large amount. In
the large cities competition has made bread
much cheaper, but even there the difference
between the cost of bread to the well-to-do
family, who bake it themselves, and the family
of the poor man, who buys it of the baker,
is unfortunately large."
The report also goes into the chemistry
and scientific features of bread-making,
showing a total of 68 percent nutriment and 42
percent water. In wheat flour the total
nutriments are 88 percent and water 12 percent,
showing that the nutriments are largely
reduced by baking. The potential energy
in a pound of flour is 2,000 percent; In a
pound of bakers' bread, 1,300 percent.
With the increase in the proportion of water
in the bread as compared with the flour,
the proportion of nutriments is diminished,
but the addition of shortening and salt brings up
the fat and minerals in the bread, so the
proportions are larger than in flour.
ALBITURION THIS LAST IS LOST HUMAN OR SPILLING HIS JUT.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. Senor Leandro Arriba,
the Guatemalan minister, made today
the following statement in regard to the
present difficulties between his country and
Mexico: "With the object of ending the old
and vexatious boundary question, the preliminary
basis for a definite treaty was agreed
upon and signed in New York City August
12, 1882, and the "formal treaty was subscribed to September 7 of the same year.
"In the preliminary treaty It was agreed
among other points that for the demarcation
of the boundary line the actual possession should be generally considered a base,
but that the governments, by agreement,
could change this rule by making mutual
compensations; that under the boundary
line, as marked, each of the contracting parties should respect the party in actual possession,
and that, in the event that said parties
should not agree about the total or partial
designation of the line, the differences that
would rise should be settled by arbitration of
the president of the United States of
America.
"The final treaty provides that a parallel,
beginning near Ixim, shall run east to the
Usumacinta river. If this river was to be
reached in that direction; or to the Chixoy
river if the former was not in the way of
said parallel. This parallel did not reach
the Usumacinta, being not of it, and, according to the treaty,
said parallel should have stopped at the Chixoy river, but the Mexican engineers endeavored to prolong it to the
Cancuén river, under the groundless assertion that this is the Usumacinta river, thus
giving to Mexico over 1,000 square miles of
Guatemalan territory. The government
of Guatemala made a very strong protest
thereon and the Mexican government accepted its views on this point, although under
the condition that no other similar question
should rise. There were no other difficulties
,
In fact. Except very small differences in the
work of the engineers, and this they think
can be arranged by themselves.
"In the meantime each of the two governments has preserved, according to the treaty,
the dominion of the respective territory that
will be annexed by the other upon the final
demarcation of the boundary lines and
authorities of the two countries have
concessions to cut mahogany in said territories,
From an immemorial time
Guatemala has
always
been in possession, unquestioned by Mexico,
of a large portion of the land located on the
west side of the
Chixoy and Usumacinta
rivers, and upon this territory being invaded
recently by Mexicans, the Guatemalan authorities were obliged to expel them and to protest against the invasion, asking at the same
time for a due explanation but
; the Mexican
government now asserts that
said
territory belongs to Mexico territory,
evidently misinformed by its own Engineers.
- The
government of
Guatemala
had not then, nor has not at present
armed force outside of its own territory, "any
Senor Leandro Arriba believes that
as
soon
the
as Mexican government
Is Informed of
the real facts It
will change Its
attitude
toward Guatemala and also believes that the
present difficulties are
a
very improbable contingency, not only because the
present difficulties are not of great importance, but chiefly because the treaty provides
that all questions incident to the demarcation
of the boundary line shall be settled
above stated, by the civilized means of arbitration. Should the actual difficulties
added
reach this point the president of the United
States will be requested to act
as arbitrator.

Venezuelan Claims Commission Now Organizing at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. The Venezuelan
claims commission held its first meeting at
the state department yesterday. The purpose was to effect a temporary organization
and consult regarding the selection of a
third commissioner.
Secretary Gresham received the members and extended the usual
courtesies. There were present Minister
Andrade, the Venezuelan commissioner;
Judge E.C. Jeffries, the
United States commissioner; Mr. Morse, the United States agent,
and Solicitor General Phillips, the
Venezuelan agent. The matters which the
committee is expected to adjudicate are the
claims of an American corporation known as
the Venezuelan Steamer
Transportation company, growing out of the seizures and detentions of their ships
by Venezuela some years ago. Before this can be entered upon,
however, it will be necessary for two commissioners to
select a third one to act with them. This was not done today and the
commission adjourned to meet again Monday.
More smallpox in Washington.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. Another well-developed case of smallpox was discovered today, the victim being Charles Q. Williams, a colored messenger in the Interior department.
DEATH OF THE LAST MATSYI
Chiang Army Fact Private Irene McCoy Had Time of Fire Estate.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. The Japanese delegation today received a dispatch which confirms the news published this morning in dispatches from Shanghai of a second victory of the Japanese army under Marshal Yamagata. The telegram is dated Hiroshima and reads as follows:
"Before dawn on October 28, our army, under Marshal Yamagata, attacked Kin-Len-Cheng, one of the important strongholds on the Chinese frontier. The place was defended by 10,000 troops under Generals Lin and Song. They fled, after offering only slight resistance, and the Japanese forces took possession of the fortifications and the city. They captured thirty large field guns, an immense quantity of food and other kinds of supplies, and more than 300 tents. The Japanese loss was twenty killed and eighty-three wounded. The Chinese lost more than 200 killed; the exact number of their wounded is not known."
It is believed at the Japanese legation that the General Lin mentioned in the above dispatch is the noted Chinese commander who played such a prominent part during the Tiling difficulty and to whom it was recently reported Viceroy Li Hung Chang had offered the chief command of the Chinese army. The Japanese legation has received its first mail of Japanese newspapers since the battle of Yalu and Ping-Yang and they are filled with the details of the engagements, lists of killed and wounded, accounts of heroism and other evidences of war. The bad tactical methods of the Chinese soldiers excite the derision of the Japanese.
The latter point out that the Chinese erect breastworks and then sit quietly within them without throwing out skirmishers to press the enemy. The Chinese soldiers also raise a number of banners just as they fire a volley, so the Japanese troops also know when a shower of lead is impending. The Chinese also exhaust their cartridges in the magazine guns as fast as they can fire them, making a hail of bullets and then a long calm. The rifles captured from the Chinese show rust of long standing and other careless treatment.
A touching story is told of a Japanese bugler who had just sounded the "charge" when he received a bullet in the breast. He was urged to lay aside his bugle, as a fresh exertion would make a hemorrhage, proving fatal. His reply was another blast of the "charge" as he toppled over.
The members of the Japanese House of Peers have sent 500,000 cigarettes to the soldiers. The leading tea merchant of Japan has presented the war office with 1,000 chests of tea. Snow fell in Japan on September 22, which is the earliest in ten years. The cold weather may put a stop to the campaign until spring. The Japanese press goes to extremes in their demands for indemnity from China. One of them says China must pay Japan ten times the cost of the war and must agree to let Japanese troops be stationed throughout China hereafter.
A Tokyo paper states that prior to the Chinese naval inspection by Li Hung Chang, the men manufactured cannon balls out of clay, painted them black and passed inspection with this bogus equipment. A Yokohama paper prints portions of the poetical tariff speech of Representative Brooks of Pennsylvania.
Large coal merchants of Japan are charged with secretly furnishing coal supplies to the Chinese navy.
The gold ingots and coins captured by the Japanese at Ping-Yang amount to 700,000 yen. Count Oyama, the war minister, has issued a proclamation urging troops to show every kindness to Chinese surrounded, that "they should not be more anxious to display carnage than charity."
Japanese naval experts say that torpedo boats proved a failure at the Yalu naval battle. A Japanese clerk recently beheaded in Tien-Tsin is supposed to be one of the two students surrendered by the American consulate.
The Japanese legation tonight received the following cablegram from its government:
"The Second army of Japan, under the command of Marshal Oyama, effected a landing near Talien-Wan with great success."
Confirmed at London.
LONDON, Oct. 28. The Japanese legation here has received official telegrams from Tokyo confirming the reports of the fighting at Kiulen. They say the Japanese loss was twenty killed and eighty-three wounded.
Field Marshal Count Yamagata is now at Colong.
A dispatch to the Times from Tien-Tsin says a large Russian fleet is assembling at Chee-Foo.
A dispatch from Shanghai states several thousand troops at Nanking, united and refused to march to Tien-Tsin because their pay was in arrears for several months.
Mushke the True at Yokohama.
YOKOHAMA, Oct. 28. The forces at Kiulen were commanded by Generals Song and Lin.
The Chinese occupy a very strong position at Hong-Wang, the castle being guarded by 20,000 men. Troops are being massed at Kinchow, with a view to the defense of Port Arthur. The Japanese have completely blockaded Talien-Wan and Port Arthur and all the adjacent bays and ports. Further Japanese forces have landed at Settkafu, southeast of Port Arthur.
Cruiser Detroit Leaves for Asiatic Station.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. The cruiser Detroit, which was to be added to the fleet on the Asiatic station, has left New London, Conn., on her long journey, Secretary Herbert having today received word of her departure. She will make the trip via the Suez canal. The vessel stopped at New London to obtain a supply of torpedoes before proceeding to her station.
Chase Fleet Leaves Shanghai.
LONDON, Oct. 28. A dispatch to the Times from Shanghai says the Chinese fleet has been ordered to protect Shanghai-King.
The dispatch adds that a Japanese fleet with thirty-four torpedo boats is threatening Weihai-Avel.
Treaty Negotiations Opened for a Russia-Japanese Treaty of Commerce.
Official Announcement of the Appointment of Cappadocia's Successor Comes Today,
INSIDE FACTS CONCERNING THE ROW
Chancellor Refused to Deny the Cologne Factories Articles Which He Had Not Informed, Men at His Majestic Order.
BERLIN. Oct. 28, It is expected that the appointment of Prince von Hohenlohe as Imperial German chancellor to succeed Count von Caprivi will be gazetted tomorrow. It is also explained that the Gazette will contain the announcement that Herr von Koeller, under secretary of the Interior for the province of Alsace-Lorraine, has been appointed Prussian minister of the Interior, vice Count Mullenberg, who held that office. In addition to being political president of the Prussian ministerial council. Both Prince von Hohenlohe and Herr von Koeller this morning accompanied the emperor and empress to Berlin from Potsdam. They spent the day in the city and the four returned together to Potsdam at 8 o'clock this evening. They dined and spent the evening at the new palace at Potsdam and will return to Berlin tomorrow, when Herr von Koeller will probably enter upon his duties at the ministry of the Interior.
CAUSES OF THE ROW.
As the political situation clarifies, the resignation of Count von Caprivi from the chancellorship assumes still further the character of an actual dismissal. The trouble appears to have originated in the emperor's recent reception of a deputation of East Prussian agrarians, by Count von Caprivi. The deputation was submissive, but the agrarian organization used the reception as proof that the emperor was favorable to Eulenburg. The latter appeared to be determined to remain in office. Von Caprivi submitted a memorandum to the emperor on Tuesday offering to resign if Count Eulenburg remained in office.
Being forced to choose between the two, the emperor, as is known, gave his unqualified approval to Count von Caprivi's policy. Thereupon, as a set-off to the emperor's reception of the agrarians, the article in the Cologne Gazette attacking Count Eulenburg appeared. Eulenburg resigned on Friday morning. The emperor sent Herr von Lucius, chief of the civil cabinet, to ask Von Caprivi whether he had inspired the article in the Gazette. Von Caprivi replied in the negative, but expressed his sympathy with that paper's views. The emperor then summoned Count von Caprivi and demanded a public disavowal of the article. Von Caprivi repeated that he had not inspired the article and would not publish a disclaimer, because he agreed with its views. He now had no alternative but to resign, which he did. It is now known as a fact that the emperor tried to reconcile the personal differences between the two men, but failed.
Comments are made on the curious eruption of the imperial personal idiosyncrasies into the domain of government. Had von Caprivi been discarded for the purpose of inaugurating an alternative policy, the public could readily understand the change, but that a new chancellor should be appointed to execute exactly the same policy his predecessor advocated, is altogether a new development of political ideas.
HIS TENURE TEMPORARY.
At present, the only noteworthy temporary change is that of Prince von Hohenlohe today, The latter will enjoy a pension as ex-chancellor, but his army pension will be cancelled. After a visit to Geneva, he intends to take up his permanent residence with his nieces on their estate in Brandenburg. Prince von Hohenlohe's age, he is now 75 years old, is regarded as precluding a long tenure of office or active participation in affairs, and especially in the Berlin stage.
The imperial policy will now more than ever be under the personal guidance of the emperor, to the no small alarm of all liberal-minded Germans, who compare the seeming instability of the emperor's character with the steady purpose and aims of the old Emperor William.
It has now become known that Count von Eulenburg introduced the East Prussian agrarian delegation to the emperor without notifying or consulting Von Caprivi. The latter's resentment is, therefore, considered to be justified. The choice of Prince von Hohenlohe insures the continuance of the colonial policy as heretofore. He obtained favor in France as German ambassador, though he has no idea of any territorial restoration. In home policy, he is a moderate conservative.
Herr von Koeller, the new Prussian minister of the Interior, is in Prince von Hohenlohe's confidence, but his policy is more doubtful. He has been strongly identified with the anti-socialist and anti-Semitic movements. It is hoped, however, that his long connection with Prince von Hohenlohe has subdued his more extreme views. While Marshal von Biberstein retains the portfolio of Imperial minister of foreign affairs, a reactionary policy may be regarded as impossible.
ORIGIN OF A FAKE.
He recently informed the emperor that it was any such policy were adopted against Count von Caprivi's wish he should feel obliged to relinquish office. It was this probability that gave origin to the baseless rumor circulated by an alleged newspaper agency that he had resigned.
The Associated Press seized upon this interesting rumor as an actual fact and added that Herr von Bismarck, Imperial secretary of the Interior, would follow the foreign minister out of office. This story, it is understood here, was published in America, but the Associated Press is in a position to deny there is any truth in it. The facts are as above stated.
Late tonight a rumor is current that the emperor wants to appoint Count von Eulenburg governor of Alsace-Lorraine, but that Prince von Hohenlohe opposes it. The prince has also made, it is said, his acceptance of the chancellorship dependent upon several alterations in the Prussian ministry. There is no reliable news of any changes being made in the Imperial cabinet.
A feature of the situation that cannot be rightly omitted is the universal chorus of eulogies of Count von Caprivi in the press of all parties. Even the Vorwaerts, the organ of the socialists, admits that he is a man to be respected, while the Bismarckian press speaks of him with becoming courtesy. The ultra-conservative Kriegszeit, after a hasty outburst of exultation over his downfall, quotes this in today's issue: "That it befalls no ill will toward him."
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE AFFAIR.
LONDON, Oct. 28. A special dispatch to the Times from Paris says the appointment of Prince von Hohenlohe as German chancellor is construed as a pacific symptom.
The correspondent of the Times at Vienna says the resignation of Caprivi has made a very unfavorable impression in the Austrian capital. It is taken to indicate the instability of the government of Germany.
A dispatch to the Times from Berlin says it is believed that the only departmental changes likely to follow the change in the chancellorship and the Prussian ministry will be those necessary to prevent friction in the state machinery. The emperor being specially anxious for the continuity of the present foreign policy, Baron Marshal von Biberstein, secretary of state for foreign affairs, will retain office. The crisis, therefore, remains an internal, and in the emperor's view, merely a personal one.
Whether it was necessary for such a shock to subject the country to such a reshock is another question. As a Berlin paper cynically remarked, there are two men overboard, but the course remains unchanged.
Perhaps the only personage who may be sincerely congratulated is Count von Caprivi.
Chilian Exposition Opened.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. Senor Don Domingo Gana, the Chilean minister at Washington, has received the announcement from his government of the opening at 2 o'clock this afternoon of the international and agricultural exhibition at Santiago, Chile. The exposition was inaugurated with appropriate ceremonies. England, America, and other countries are among the exhibitors. The affair is to continue for three months.
INVITATION TO LIBERALIZATION.
The opposition rebels against the return of Lord Lansdowne to freedom.
LONDON, Oct. 28. The liberals last night opened their electoral campaign at Bradford, where a meeting was held which was attended by 5,000 people. Prime Minister Rosebery delivered the principal speech of the evening. He said that in his opinion the next general election would not be fought on the home rule, disestablishment of the church in Wales, or the liquor question, but on a question which would include them all.
The matter of the House of Lords was the greatest legislative question that had arisen in two centuries. It had long been evident to him that drastic dealing with the House of Lords must precede the full realization of other political programs.
"We boast of our free institutions, thanking God that we are not as other men are and yet all the time we end up this mockery of freedom." He confessed freely that all experience pointed to the necessity of a second chamber of some sort, but to his mind it was an absolute danger and an invitation to revolution that there should be a second chamber in the position of the House of Lords. It was, therefore, as a lover of legislation and freedom that he implored the people to take this question into immediate consideration. The powers of the House of Lords over finance had been restricted by resolution of the House of Commons. The upper house had also been restricted regarding interference with the elections. Therefore, a resolution which the government would introduce would declare in clear terms that the House of Commons, in partnership with the House of Lords, is the unmistakably predominant partner. To instance the responsibility of the government, it would represent a joint demand of the executive government and the Commons for a revision of the constitution. After some useful legislation had been passed at the next session, the government would ask the Commons to pass the resolution; then it would appeal to the country.
LONDON, Oct. 29. In a leader this morning, commenting upon Prime Minister Rosebery's speech at Bradford opening the liberal campaign, the Standard says he has thrown down the gauntlet, but like Quixote's visor, it is only of pasteboard.
LONDON. Oct. 28. The Daily News says Lord Rosebery's speech was the finest ever delivered and that it has made his future certain.
CONCLUSION OF THE CZAR'S CONDITION
On Friday morning, bearing the signatures of the five physicians on the czar, says: "The czar slept well last evening. His appetite is good. His condition is unchanged." The regular official bulletin, dated Livadia at 7 o'clock this evening, says the condition of the czar shows no change.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. The following bulletin concerning the czar's condition was received here today by Prince Katacuzene, the Russian minister:
"ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 28. 9.45. The emperor slept well on Friday night. Yesterday the appetite was good and the function of the heart more satisfactory. General condition better; edema has not increased.
"Dr. Obers."
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 28.--The Crash-Vreelya and Russian papers, expressing gratitude for the universal sympathy shown abroad for the czar, refer to the delicate tact of Emperor William in personally attending the services held Friday in Berlin, while the French ambassador at the German capital thought it sufficient to send a representative. The papers add that Emperor William also sent Prof. Leyden, to Livadia, hoping that he would be able to benefit the czar. It is stated tonight that Dr. Zaccarin now takes a more hopeful view of his majesty's case. He says that the czar will be able to give the czarevitch and Princess Alix his blessing on the occasion of their marriage, which, it is now stated, will take place tomorrow. The czar fixed tomorrow as the wedding day because it is the anniversary of the disaster to the Imperial train at Warsaw, which many persons believe was the result of a nihilist plot to kill his majesty.
Dr. Russo today tapped his majesty and relieved the swelling.
Prof. Leyden states the czarina's illness is not serious.
M. Durnovo, minister of the Interior, intends to resign on the death of the czar.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 28 - Forest fires are spreading ruin in this section. The long drought has made timber and straw as dry as tinder and the flames spread with lightning-like rapidity. The valuable range in the Obion river bottoms has been swept clean, causing a loss of thousands of dollars.
WORK OF THE DYNAMITERS
Pennsylvania Boarding House Crowded with Hungarians Blown to Atoms,
THREE KILLED AND MANY WOUNDED
Author of the Terrorist Affair Deliberately Arranging the Diabolical and Timely Explosion.
WILKES-BARRE, Pa., Oct. 28. A large Hungarian boarding house at Laurel Run, this county, was blown to atoms by dynamiters at 3 o'clock this morning, and fires of the inmates were killed outright, four fatally injured and half a dozen seriously hurt. The dead are:
FRANK NOWAKOWSKI.
MICHAEL CALLETTI.
GEORGE SUOCCY.
The most dangerously injured are:
Joseph Calletti, back broken.
Mike Goshuk, head cut and left arm broken.
Kasha Kataresk, one leg broken, other seriously injured, necessitating amputation.
Michael Urlitz, abdomen torn.
Bash Krell, both arms broken.
Ferh Kotsch, shoulder broken and injured internally.
Anthony Sechleck, back and breast crushed.
Urlitz Mishko, legs crushed.
The fiends who planned the explosion did their work well, despite the fact that part of the plan failed. They placed about twenty-four sticks of dynamite under the building, each being about nine inches long and weighing about half a pound, A wire connected the sticks with a battery about fifty yards away. When the signal was given, only about half a dozen of the sticks exploded. They were sufficient, however, to completely wreck the building, not a beam or plank of which was left standing.
Several of the inmates who occupied the upper floor were hurled fifty feet into the air, some of them escaping fatal injuries by landing on the trees nearby. Half dazed by fear, they managed to hold on to the limbs of the trees until they recovered their senses and were able to reach the ground. The trackwalker, who arrived on the scene shortly after the explosion, says it resembled a battlefield.
AIDING THE INJURED.
The cries of the injured were heartrending. Some of them were in the trees; others were lying on the ground and under the debris of the wrecked building. One of the boarders who escaped injury made his way to a neighboring shanty and woke the inmates. Blankets and bedding were carried to the scene and the injured made as comfortable as possible. At daylight, the officials of the Lehigh Valley railroad were notified and a special train, with a number of physicians, was hurried to the scene. The doctors dressed the wounds of the injured, who were then brought to the hospital in this city.
The boarding boss says he is at a loss to know what prompted the dastardly deed. As far as he knows, he has no enemies in the world. Some of the boarders think the motive was robbery, as several of them were known to have considerable money in their possession. If this was the object of the fiends, it is plain why they placed so much of the explosive under the building - they wanted to kill every person in the building in order to steal the plunder and then escape detection.
Up to 7 o'clock tonight no arrests have been made.
One of the wounded men says that immediately after the explosion he saw four strange men running down the road leading to the village at Miner's Mills. They carried lanterns. While he lay on the ground, another stranger approached him and rifled his pockets. He also cut the belt which encircled his waist and carried it away.
Another of the injured gives it as his opinion that the men seen on the ground after the explosion were tramps. The dynamite used was Pittsburgh dynamite, which fact may lead to their discovery, as dynamite of that character is used by the railroad contractors, whose tool house is near the scene.
The house had been broken open and a new battery taken out. An old battery was found nearby. The supposition is that the latter is the one that did the work and the new one was still in reserve.
Michael Bellakovich, the proprietor of the boarding house, was arrested tonight and sent to jail. The authorities say they want him as a witness.
MANY TONS OF DYNAMITE EXPLODE:
Wisconsin Train Terribly Mutilated and
Conglomerate Damaged,
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Oct. 28. This city and vicinity were terribly shaken today by an explosion which occurred on the summit of a hill a mile from town, where was stored in a small building five tons of dynamite. The stuff had been sent here on consignment from a Chicago house to a local hardware merchant. It is presumed a rifle bullet fired by a hunter into the building lodged in some powder that was in storage and that the person lost his life. The ground was torn up to a great depth for some distance, while trees and fences for many rods were torn and twisted and quite a number of trees were pulled up by the roots. The glass in every farm house for miles around was shattered.
In this city the effect was disastrous to the plate glass fronts, and windows in numbers of dwellings were broken.
The shock came while people were on their way to church and threw women and children down and caused several women to faint.
The village of Bloomer, twelve miles distant from the scene, appears to have felt the force more severely than here. The scene of the disaster was visited by thousands today.
A handkerchief and pieces of a sleeve were found about fifty rods away, and they are thought to be part of the clothing of Paul Hocher, an Austrian, who was last seen going in the direction of the magazine a short time before the explosion.
THREE KILLED and MANY INJURED on the Pennsylvania at Croydon Station.
BRISTOL, Pa., Oct. 28, A disastrous freight wreck occurred on the Pennsylvania road near Croydon station about 7 o'clock this evening, in which three were killed and a score or more injured, some seriously, construction train, having on board about forty laborers, pulled up near Croydon and stopped to take on more workmen. While the train was at a standstill, fast freight No. 1147, K.W. Stout, engineer, and William Crouch, conductor, crashed into the work train. The trainmen escaped by jumping. Several cars were wrecked, and in the crush John McNulty, Stephen Heilute, and Frank Stoner, all of this place, were caught and instantly killed.
Of the twenty or more who were injured, nearly all live in Bristol. Three or four are so badly hurt that they may die from their injuries. All of the Bristol physicians were summoned to the scene of the wreck and after attending to the wounds of the injured men sent home to this place and the others to the Pennsylvania hospital.
The Brittenham Kill.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 28.-C.A. Class and L.H. Rogers, two brakemen on the Rio Grande Western, were caught between freight cars while coupling at Soldier's Camp this afternoon and crushed to death. Both were instantly killed.
SHOTS FOR SNORING TOO LATE:
Queer Cause of a Strangely In Mr. Joseph's Hospital at Fort Wayne, no. 5.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 28.-A Commercial-Gazette special from Fort Wayne, in 5, says that at St. Joseph's hospital last night Job A. Huffman shot Hubert Allen in the head with a revolver for keeping him awake by loud snoring and then shot himself in the head. Both are dying tonight. They are more than 60 years old and for ten years have been inmates of the hospital, employed as janitors. Two weeks ago Mr. Hoffman bought a revolver to shoot Allen if he did not stop snoring. | 32 |

abling every citizen to knoxv the true condi

Snconil Wunl ItcpubllcunMeeting. .
The acqualutauccB of Israel Frank -Mid W.
J. Broatch are dolns a eood deal of laugh
ing -about the unsuccessful attempt of Israel
to hold n "grand political mass meeting" far
tlta Second ward at KcssJer's hall last .Friday
night. Israel had
announced the meeting
through dodgers , and the announcement was
made that several speakers would make ti
dresses , W. J. Broatch being placed at ll e
head oftthe list. lYhen the time came Israel
and two others -were present. They chatted
pleasantly for half an hour , when two or
three more came in , and one of them , & can
didate , offered to set up the beer. He man-
aKd to get together the proprietor and about
forty boys , democrats and populists , and the
beer -was had. This seemed to have an en
livening effct and Rrohtcb then got up and
made a short Majors speech to the motley
crowd , and then It was thought more beer
would be the thing. The faucet came open
and the beer came , but the expected crowd
remained away. ' The general sentiment was
that while Broatch and Frank might draw
beer , they could not draw .a crowd , and the
Idea of a great Majors meeting : was given up.

the Influence of The Bee. "
Miller The course of The Bte In Ihe pres-
cntcampalgn meets my View to n charm. I
rejoice to think that one of our leading state
papers has the courace and manliness to
come out and tell the truth , I tun a strong
republican , but I fall to see any rcpubl'can-
Ism In a state ticket that Tom Majors stands
at the head of. I am an old veteran , having
served four ytars , lacking atxtecn days. In
the Sixth Nov.- York cavalry , but I don't
propose to vote lor a perjured villain for
governor of the state ot Nebraska , even If
he was an old cavalry man. Judge Holcomb
Is the man tor me. A good many republi
cans lu my neighborhood think as I do.
They can't go Tom Majors.
Wayne I am very much In accord with
your position. I shall certainly not vole lor
Majors , but for Holcomb.
Talmage Your course meets with my ap
proval. and although I have bees a republican
all my life 1 cannot support such a man as
Majors.
Gibbon Your course in support of Holcomb
Is commendable. There are a few here who
will support Majors.
Hlverdale I am heartily In favor of your
position , anti I am unqualifiedly In favor of
Holcomb and against Majors. Two other
voters in this family are against Majors.
Rurr I am a republican , but will support-
Holcomb for governor ,
Wlloox I think I will vote for .Holcomb ,
but I am sorry that the republicans nomi
nated such a man as Majors , as you have
proved him to be a .fraud.
Salem As a republican I approve of the
course of The Dee in supporting Holcomb.
There are a number of the republicans in this
vicinity who also approve of the position of
The Bee.

honest man. Irrespective of party. You are

right triumph. Do not be discouraged by
vitllflcation and slander and the lies of a
subsidized press. Wherever there Is a spark
of honor or Integrity In the hri-asts of men
your attitude/ and strength on these questions
and during tills campaign deserve the high
est commendation , gratitude , love and re
spect of men , Irrespective of party , who - desire
sire that right shall triumph and not might ,
corporate corruption and greed.
JIudlson Your position 'In regard to the
election of governor IB fully approved ,
Though I have "been a republican since 18(11 (
I will vote for Holcomb.
Savage 1 approve your course all through
this campaign. I have no love for the pops ,
but would rather see their whole ticket
elected than Tom Majors. I was an antislavery -
slavery man until the g. o. p. was born , and
have stood by It ever since , nnd Intend to as
long as 1 live , but I can't and -won't vote
for the B. & T > 1. candidate.

actly , and one of my sons who Is also a
republican , says be cannot vote for Majors' .
Valparaiso I heartily 'approve" your sup
port of Judge HolQomb./attd myself and two

Stella I , am very well satisfied with your
course in regard to Majors. I know of at
least six republicans who will not vote for
him , and Nemalia county will go several ]
hundred pop'ullst majority ,
Avoca I am a straight republican but
will not support Majors. If the republican
party cannot put up a better man than
Majors It means certain death for the party. :
The bosses must not think they can nomin
ate anybody and then crack the whip and
make all republicans vote for him. I think
when the election Is over they will nnd they
have made a great mistake ,
Alda I approve of your course In regard
to Majors. If he Is what you claim he Is
rti do not see how any republican could vote
for him. He Is the only exception on the
ticket that I will make , however ,
tlC Humboldt I heartily endorse and appre
ciate tlio fight of The Bee against corporate
monopolies ot whatever description , and
hope tliat the ballots cast thli fall -will teach
the : corporal loin that the people will consent
to bo robbed no longer.

COEHCING JIAILHOAD EMPLOYES.
Never before In the iititory of Nebraska
has BO shameless an effort been laadg by
th railroad companies to Intimidate and
carrce employee ai in th presint campaign.
The raUro.itlr iiyuiairerg learned early In the
campaign twit I they could not win by fair
means , nrul wnseijuently they have resorted
to browbeating shippers and coercing1 cm *
ployei. With the probable exception ot the
Hock I lnnl * ' and the Milwaukee systems ,
every rallrMd'to'tha state Is engaged In this
work of Intimidation * The Mltcourt Pnclflc
has sent one ol Its general agents along Its
line to Inrirucl Its employes to vote for
Majors. Tly Unlori Pacific has aho sent
out.nn otTfolAi lii Impretn iipan Id employe *
the necessity for voting for the rallruid can
didate for governor , and agents of that com
pany , In BPIUI oC the denials ot Its officials ,
are Interl&rJjj\ylth ] the personal choice of
every on of "Its employes , not only In this
city , hut nlotfgTMe1 entire system In the slate ,
Every employe on these railroads from sec
tion hand up to telegraphers anJ local freight
agents , , 1ms been -glVen to understand In a
significant | | manner , that It will bo to his Interest
tercs to k-6te for Tom Majors.
Last Wednesday afternoon the local freight
agent for the IJnlqn Pacific personally ques
tioned each one ot the fifty or sixty employes
in the freight depot In this city as to their
politics , ami especially as lo their Intent-on
of voting Her or against Majors. He had
each cmployo'8 name sot down In a pass )
book. He first asked each man his politics
and Ihcn asked hllil for whom he proposed to
veto for governor. If the man replied that
he Intended to veto Jor .Majors he recslved
no further attention , It the employe dd
not know whom hewould vote for ho was
given to understand In so many words that
it would be to lilB Interest to vote for
Majors. And jt the man answered that ho
proposed to vet ? for Hqlcomb he was ad
monished In language too plain to ba mlt-
understood tliat hewould consult his own In
terests and those of his family by changing
his mind before election.
When a representative of The BOB called
upon the confidential clerk of the president ot
the Union Pacific and asked him in regard
to the action of the local representatives of
the company In coercing voters , that official
promptly disclaimed all knowledge of the
natter and stated that the local agent acttJ.
entirely without authority and upon his own
responsibility. He staled further that the
order issued years ago , permitting all em
ployes to vote their own convictions , was
still In force and effect. He did not ex
plain , however , why ono of the highest ofll-
c'als of the company was traveling over the
line Instructing employes how to vote at the
coming election.
_ AFHAID OF HIS RECORD.
The D. & AI. .Journal's paid scribbler from
Washington is .still endeavoring to discredit
The Bee's proposition to submit the charges
against .Majors to a committee of prominent
Omaha clergymen. He has printed alleged
statements from these ministers regarding
the controversy and has so twisted and dis
torted the remarks of the reverend gentle
men that they have been compelled to enter
a general protest. Rev , Frank Crane called
at The BCD dlflce to' state- that the remarks
attributed to him by theJournal's cor
respondent were distorted from their true
meaning.
The efforts 'of the Majors crowd to parry
the ellocts of tlie proposition are extremely
against him. ' Tom Majors Old not dare face
the charges thu't ' have been brought against
htm. He - makesthe
- thespecious plea that he
could nqt take the tlmo from the campaign.
Tha facts arc that the evidence Is all in
documentary form. The whole list of charges
could have "befen presented and considered
within- few hours. Majors claimed that he
would have been compelled to go to Wash
ington to secMre"-testimony to prove that he
Is innocent ' 'of ' ttie charges mader against
him with reference to his record as a con
tingent congressman. The facts arc that he
was In Wasl/in / lon during the whole of the
tlmo when hlsT'redord was being Investigated
by a congressional committee , nnd after he
had presented every evidence at his dis
posal that cdminlllee ' reported the following
Wo report 'tlit-Before , that Tlidmas J.
Majors Is responsible for thfe misinformation
which -Inductxifthis commltteo-to make the
report of April 1 , 1BS2 ( No , 911 , first session
Forty-sevHiithicowjross ) , and that he was
aided therein IjsvS. J. Alexander , secretary
of state of tfeur/lskn , by Pat O. Hawes nnd
Dr. 1 * . Sell wehKJ and George II. Rcborts ,
And we rep'ow IlilU the testimony of Pavls '
And'we ask tbeTadcuUonjqfj.thOjfollo.wltig
resolution :
K isol5Wd.That.tli& . cleric of this house be ,
and he Ts iTIrcby ; teaulretl' tft furnish a
printed copy of'wlft rGport.Mncludlnf ; the
evidence , to elich ofrftlie following oftioers :
The district attorney ot the "District of Co-
Idmlrtn , the a'ttbinSy1 generaf'of the Hutted
States urirt the's-overnor-df .tlie state of Ne-
braska.ttmt , thed' may take such action as
they may deem suitable to the gravity of
tlio wrongs committed by the persona whose
conduct is in this "conclusion" set forth.
The foregoing report and resolution was
adopted by a republican congress -without
a dissenting vote. If Majors could not pro
duce enough evidence In his own behalf to1
prove that ho , was not guilty of the charges
how could he expect to find at Washington
now the evidence necessary to prove that
there was no foundation for the misconduct
with which he was charecd ?
The records in regard to the other charges
made against him are equally accessible. The
committee could have investigated them
without leaving the coom. The proofs spoke
for themselves. The fact yet remains that
Majors simply did not dare face the charges
at the risk pf havlrjg seven leading ministers
of Omaha report upon their truth. The propo
sition to submit the charges to the commutes
of ministers hit Majors In a vulnerable spot
and ho dared not run the risk of accepting It.
Reports of the Intention of the Major ?
campaigners to colonize the state with Illegal
voters continue to come In. The railroad
managers who are assltlnc .the project have
also adopted a new and altogether original
plan , never before attempted In Nebraska ,
but used effectively In eastern states last
year. Voters who are not In sympathy with
'
the attempt to clect.MaJo'rs will be given free
passes to points outsldo of the state or to
distant points In the state , with the expecta
tion that they will use them and thus be
away Irom IOIIIQ on election day. A promi
nent business man In an Interior town of the
state writes : .
"I have Just learned from a reliable source
that a systematic effort at emigration of
voters will take place about election time ,
Voters who canriot be Induced to support
certain candidates will be urged to accept
transportation for themselves and their fam
ilies for visiting and business tours to points
far enough away to preclude their presencs
at home on election day. "
Referring to the colonization scheme , the
Wahoo Bra saysi
It la nn open secret that the B. & M. Is
temporarily colonizing out-of-the-stato citi
zens on abandoned farms In the western
part of the state In order to vote them for
Majors. Jt is , also known , nnd no attempt
Is made to deny It. that they have dis
tributed the men employed in bulldlnK
branch .lines In the west this summer ( and
which ure novr completed ) throughout the
country districts in order to secure so many
votes for their -pet candidate , The modus
operand ! is to Jiliice two or three extra men
on the section , and when election day comes
the section t > oss will walk them up to the
polls and they will cait their votes In the
interest of their masters. After election
the poor dupHsnswIll be discharged and

UNITEET AGAINST REPUULICANS.
It will beseen from a study of the above1
ticket that the republican candidates are op
posed really < by the combined strength of
thoi democrats and populists ; while the pro
hibitionists , who are trying to spread dissat
isfaction in the ranks of the party , will no
doubt draw more votes from them than cither
of the other parties.
It is the
combination that causes not a
few heads to toss -
unea-slly on the pillow ,
though the potency of the combination will
be much more noticeable In the results of
the county elections than on the state ticket.
As was predicted early in the campaign , it
still seems that the republicans will
carry
nine ot the congressional districts , and lllsely
ten , with a possibility of the entire eleven.
This latter Is now the desideratum for which
they are working , the election of the state
ticket being conceded , and which all the
opposing elements arc trying to defeat.
Karly In the campaign , after the first blare
of republican trumpets had sounded the tocsin
of war. it became evident from the oyster-
like silence maintained by the democrats and
populists that a scheme was brewing tn en
compass the G. O. P , In de'eat. but what It
reallv was did not become known till the
conventions had been held , and they showed a
their hand by a fusion deal , followed out In
nearly every county In the state without
any
dissension.
The adherents of the pronlbltlonlsl party
proclaimed from the steeplctop early , that
all might know where they stood , that they
would put full state , congressional and county
tickets In the field "and elect them. " But
nobody took them seriously , this claim .hav
ing been made In the best of faith many
times before and invariably falling to
ma
terialize ,
IN THE LONESOME SECOND ,
The real fight Is In the Second district ,
now represented by Hon. W , L Hayes , demo
crat. This district la
composed of Iowa ,
Johnson , Muscatlne , Scott , Clinton and Jack
son counties , and the democracy , which has
practically always carried the district , Js
badly split over the postofllce appointments
made at the Instnnco of Judge Hayes , the
German democrats claiming that in these
matters , as In the appointment of n < ] Hunter
at Dea Molnes against Colonel Elboeck , a
prominent German democrat and editor of the
Staats-Anzelger , they have been -entirely ig
nored and left out In the cold by those whom
they very largely aided In securing election
This is strenuously denied by Hayes , and a
letter has even been published
be from him , to the effect that purporting - to
anybody -who
says he made
a slnglo appointment for other
reasons than those of personal fitness for
the clace "is a liar" and he will not allow
such statements to go unpunished. These
charxes are the main thing that Is being
used against him
In the campaign , aside
front his record as a representative In
con
gress.
George M , Curtis , a wealthy manufacturer
of Clinton , is Judge Hayes1 prtncjpal op
ponent , being the republican nominee. None
of the other candidates have made sufficient
noltt. to be heard up hero .vet. The main
cry against him Is "Millionaire CurtU. " who
the opposition charges "made his money by
toadying to pools , trusts and combines , and
, therefore , not a man who could represent
properly the laboring men in congress. "
How much effect these chargoj n-lil have Is
dllllciilt to estimate , though they do not
generally c-irry much -weight. Uut this Is
an ago of the working man , when evi-rjbody
bids for hla vote , promising inoro than the
other fellow , and If the autocrat
the candidate's political des
tinies Imagines that ho " 111 be played false
he is chary about lending his tr
support to dli
either. Curtis has , however , been n large hi
employer of labor for a number of years and IIwl
has gotten along peaceably wtb ; his men. wl
without a strike or a lockout. "

DEMOCRATS LAYING QU1KT.
Klelcher Howard , chairman of the demo
cratic state central committee nnd member of
HIP slate pharmacy commission , hasn't up to

running a quiet campaign and "If he can't
win , he la goltif ; to hold the mnjorltles down

Bpatildlng of the pharmacy commission and
a close .friend of Mr. Howard's , stiys. They
confidently expect , however , so far ns can

that Hayes and Weaver will bo elected.
Outside of these two districts there Is little -
tlo contest In the stale campaign this fall
nnd Interest therein has slumped. When
there Is little contcM , there Is little Interest
nnd the republican leaders profess lhat their
greatest fear U that the adherents of the
party will consider It such a foregone con
clusion that they will f.ill to go to the. polls
nml vote , allowing the democratlc-popullatlc
combine to "steal a slay-at-homc victory. "

NEW YORK , Oct. 21 Sunday is always a
quiet day with politicians and dullness was
the feature of the political headquarters In
this city today. The work of correspondence
was carried on as usual , but there wcro few
visitors nnd no signs of activity , e.xcept nt the
Grant headquarters , where Mr. Grant's letter
of acceptance of the Tammany nomination
for mayor was made public. Colonel
Strong's headquarters wcro closed during the
day and Colonel Strong himself was not In
evidence except to a few of his closest sup
porters.
At republican headquarters a long dispatch
was received from Albany nnd was at once
given out for publication , to the effect that
the employes In the state departments there
were -employed In preparing and distributing
thousands of campaign documents In the In
terest of the democrats. The dispatch says
In part :
"The campaign work which should be done
by the democratic slate committee lias been
forced upon the state department and paid
for from the state treasury. These docu
ments are printed by State Printer James 1) )
Lyons and a large force of the department
clerks are taken from their duties to the
Eta to to shove In Individual envelopes Hill's
campaign documents. "
The very large registration of voters in
this city has been Iho .subject of much dis
cussion and speculation with both parties ,
each claiming the advantage from the addi
tional votes that will probably be polled on
election day.
At the state democratic headquarters on
Twenty-third street there was a peneral foci-
Ing of elation over the results of the regis
tration , The leaders agree In saying that
It meant the overwhelming defeat of Tam
many Hall. Francis M. Scott said that In
his opinion Mr. Grant would not get mor
than 100,000 votes. Ho believed the soclal-
Istlc-lahor-popullst-prohlbltlon vote would not
ba over 20,000 , which would leave in the
vicinity of 245,000 votes to bo divided be
tween Grant and Strong , thus allowing 45,000
plurality for Strong. This was the substance
of a computation made by the various lead
ers early In the day.
The 4recent arrest of sqveral hundred men
/or alleged fraudulent , rpglstratlqn , Itis be
lieved , has a deterrent effect , and the- large
registration considered a big- Increase In
men entitled to cast their ballots. District
Attorney John R. Fellows today , however ,
expressed himself as not at all surprised at
the registration. Ho thought there
nothing extraordinary In Jt , and said he
could see nothing substantial to be derived
for cither side from It.
The chief Interest of the present week
among republican centers Is the appearance
of ex-President Harrison on Wednesday next

board of the grand lodge of the Independent

Mntlcien Wednesday , | A. STATE AUDITOR
Something of the Claims of the Present State Auditor for Election.
PEOPLE'S INTEREST ALWAYS CONSIDERED
Much of the Multiplicity of Business
It is Always Intended to Satisfy the Fidelity with
- the Duties.
Eugene Moore, the present auditor of public accounts, and the republican candidate for reelection, was born in Waechter County, Iowa, in 1851, and in 1877 removed to Nebraska, locating at West Point, where he lived until 1879, then, with his family, he removed to Norfolk, this state, which is now his home. At the age of 10 years his father died, and from that time until coming to Nebraska, he was variously employed as a clerk, laborer on a farm, and school teacher, devoting as much of his time as he could to attending schools in the winter. During the two years he taught school, he took up the study of stenography, which has been his profession in Nebraska, until the taking charge of the auditor's office.
At the close of the rebellion, he was in his 11th year, and, of course, too young to be an active participant in the tumultuous affairs of those days. Numerous older relatives of his served in the union army with bravery and distinction, ranking from private to brigadier general. At the election of 1892, he received a plurality of 21,350 votes for the office he now fills, out of a total vote of 37,987. With his associates, he was installed in office January 6, 1893.
None connected with the auditor's office are allowed to be in any manner be connected with the purchase or sale of any state securities.
The payment of overtime to the employees of the legislature was prohibited by him as far as possible, and only then on the oath of the claimant, which resulted in a saving to the state of $13,249.57 on this item alone in the 1892 session.
Mr. Moore discontinued the practice of paying salaries of the state's officers and employees in advance and thereby saved the state $7,820 in interest charges.
He has insisted always that all accounts shall be accompanied by the very best obtainable evidence of their accuracy, before he will approve them and issue warrants therefor, and that each claim shall be presented in a separate voucher and a separate warrant issued therefor directly to the claimant, thus avoiding the bunching of claims. From January 14, 1893, to September 1, 1894, he issued 17,851 warrants, as against 11,879 for the two years ending March 31, 1892; 12,436 for the former biennium, and 15,946 for the four years ending March 21, 1888.
DETAILS OF HIS DUTIES.
He keeps an accurate and skillful account with each institution and all of the counties of the state, showing their financial relation to the state at all times.
He sends out annually about twenty tons of revenue books and blanks to the ninety counties of the state.
Largely by his personal supervision of the accounts, $10,777 was saved the state in the incidental expenses of the 1893 session of the legislature; as compared with its immediate predecessor.
All bonds for the deposit of state funds are kept by the auditor and recorded by him.
An exhaustive biennial report is published by the auditor prior to each regular session of the legislature, and also a statement of appropriations and expenditures, after each session.
The temporary school fund is disbursed by 850 warrants to the counties in the state, amounting to about $100,000, issued semi-annually.
As a member of the State Board of Equalization, the auditor sends out all blanks to all counties, for the valuation of all properties in the state, and compiles and tabulates all the returns, and helps the governor and treasurer to fix the levies for the different state funds, and adjusts and equalizes the values of railroad, telegraph, and sleeping car properties in the state, and certifies them together with the state levies to the counties of the state.
As a member of the State Board of Transportation, Mr. Moore introduced a resolution which was seconded by Mr. Hartley, and unanimously adopted by the board, requesting Mr. Justice Brewer of the United States supreme court to immediately take up and hear and determine the maximum rate bill case, and in compliance with that resolution, the case was tried and submitted to him months ago, with the hope that he would speedily settle the questions growing out of the attempt to enforce that bill.
Mr. Moore has been almost constantly at his desk, having personal supervision of the affairs of the office in detail, and trying to give the people of the state a satisfactory administration of his office.
GAVE THE STATE THE DOUBT,
In every question where any doubt has arisen as to the proper course to pursue in the determination of the many questions that come to the auditor for adjustment, he has uniformly resolved the doubt to the benefit of the state, using the utmost care to protect its rights and citizens at all times.
No has registered more than $2,000,000 in county, precinct, municipal, and school bonds, all of which have required the greatest caution and care.
In the insurance department, Mr. Moore has constantly endeavored to see that the interests of all were properly protected at all times. He has sought to allow none but solvent companies to seek the business of the people of our state, and has endeavored to so manage the affairs of the office that the greatest possible security would be afforded to all holders of insurance policies in Nebraska. He has admitted forty-eight new companies. He annually examines 245 statements and issues about 7,000 certificates, besides collating and issuing large quantities of valuable information in the forms of tables and circulars. Giving much credit to all of the members of all of the boards and officials. Mr. Moore is entitled to some of the praise the state owes its officials for the economical administration of her fourteen state institutions for the past two years, as compared with any other biennium in the state's history. Nine of these institutions show a saving in 1898 and 1894 as against the former two years of about $115,000, and the State university and Peru Normal school, with an average attendance in 1893 and 1894 of about 1,700, cost the state $11,700 less than in 1891 and 1892 when the average was about 1,200. The penitentiary is supported at a fixed price of 40 cents per day per capita for each inmate. The Home for the Friendless and the Orphans' home receive charitable donations and are not supported entirely by the state.
HANDLED MANY MILLIONS.
Mr. Moore, as auditor, has exercised unceasing care in the handling of the $5,000,000 SERIES NO. 43-44

appropriations, which carry $2,508,940.20 of the people's money, for the two years ending March 31, 1895, and laws sums of the appropriations will revert to the treasury as a result of the system of economy enforced by him and his colleagues in office.
April 6, 1893, a law went into effect, which provides for the security and payment of rebate vouchers, issued by incorporated companies, unions, etc., directing the auditor of public accounts to see that the amounts due are properly collected and disbursed. In compliance with that law, Mr. Moore has collected $25,727.12 from the Distilling and Cattle Feeding company of Peoria, IL, which is the Whisky trust, and deposited it in the First National bank of Omaha, to be distributed to the 2,582 voucher holders who are Nebraska patrons of this trust. All but a small part of this amount has been saved for and paid out to the holders of these certificates, and the balance due will be paid on the presentation of the vouchers as they provide.
Chapter 15 of the session laws of 1893 provides for the appointment by the auditor of two special deputies to examine the offices of the ninety county treasurers, of the state at least once in two years. The law went into effect August 1, 1893, and Mr. Moore appointed two expert treasury accountants, who have carefully examined sixty-eight counties and have filed duplicate copies of their reports with the county authorities, thus enabling every citizen to know the true condition of his county treasury.
The excellence and efficiency of the Department of Banking speak praises for the entire board, of which Mr. Moore is a member, as well as all employees.
The State Printing board, of which Mr. Moore is a member, at its last letting of contracts for two years for the public printing, awarded the contracts in the spring of 1893 at the second bidding for a total of $8,211, being a saving of $7,499 on the lowest bids made under the first advertisement, which was rejected.
During his incumbency in office, Mr. Moore has had separate, thorough, and complete examinations made in the home offices of twenty different domestic and foreign insurance companies, by expert accountants, appointed for that purpose, of all of the affairs of those companies, and it has all been done without cost. He has recently corresponded with the auditing and accounting officers of each of the states and territories of the union concerning their methods of collecting revenue, and he has carefully gathered a very large amount of valuable information which, he hopes to present to the legislature to aid in perfecting our revenue laws wherever it may be deemed proper.
The books of the auditor are deemed to be the property of the people of the state and that at all reasonable hours any citizen has a perfect right to know what they contain.

That It Is There That With In Israel Frank's
Second Ward Republican Meeting.
The acquiescence of Israel Frank and W.
J. Broatch is doing a good deal of laughing about the unsuccessful attempt of Israel to hold a "grand political mass meeting" for his Second ward at Kessler's hall last Friday night. Israel had
announced the meeting
through dodgers, and the announcement was made that several speakers would make to dresses, W. J. Broatch being placed at the head of the list. When the time came, Israel and two others were present. They chatted pleasantly for half an hour, when two or three more came in, and one of them, a candidate, offered to set up the beer. He managed to get together the proprietor and about forty boys, democrats and populists, and the beer was had. This seemed to have an enlivening effect and Broatch then got up and made a short Majors speech to the motley crowd, and then it was thought more beer
would be the thing. The faucet came open and the beer came, but the expected crowd
remained away. ' The general sentiment was
that while Broatch and Frank might draw
beer, they could not draw .a crowd, and the
idea of a great Majors meeting: was given up.
Impractical terminally held to reel.
SAN DIEGO, Oct. It is alleged that
several hundred Indians who have allotted
lands have been registered as voters in this county. The authorities are
divided in opinion as to the constitutionality
of the procedure.
Pluralistic officially Scheubel and iron.
At the last meeting, the carpenters union
endorsed Fred Scheubel, populist candidate for the
city council, and Robert Anderson, populist
candidate for the Board of Education.
Eighth Street Hens to Appear Tonight.
So many people were disappointed at not
hearing the Eighth Street songsters on their first
appearance that there is general rejoicing at the announcement that they will again appear at Boyd's with new and improved jokes and other features. The Old Ladies Home and the lodging house for women, the two
institutions managed by the Women's Christian association, are to be the beneficiaries,
No amateur entertainment ever given in the
city has ever been so thoroughly enjoyable. '
The Ethiopian songsters will appear again
at Boyd's this evening.
Henri L. Lurhetti (curled).
The residence of Henry Husser, at Husser's Park; five miles south of the city, burned at 8:30 yesterday morning. How the fire started is a mystery. The loss is estimated at $1,000, fully covered by insurance.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 28—Dr. J.H. Davis, one of the most prominent of Nashville's surgeons and one of the leading physicians in the country, died last night from paralysis. Dr. Davis attended a concert Thursday night.
HOW FARMERS FEEL (Continued from First Page.)
and father are all Holcomb men and true believers in The Omaha Bee and its editor. St. Edwards: "The position you have taken in regard to Judge Holcomb meets with my approval. I also have in my employ two journalists, both republicans, who think as you do, that you have taken the right course."
Crosby: "The Bee meets my approval, especially its position with regard to the railroad combine, rings, cliques, and state house combines. Go on in the good work for Judge Holcomb."
Madison: "Holcomb is the man that we are going to support, and I think he will carry this part of the county by a large majority."
Cotland: "I heartily endorse the position you have taken and am in favor of voting for Holcomb, for the reason that I think he is a better and safer man than Majors."
Butler City: "I consider your stand for Holcomb all right. Keep on in the good work."
St. Edwards: "The course taken by The Bee in support of Holcomb meets with my approval. I hope you will push the work for honest state government. A clean sweep and thorough housecleaning at Lincoln this fall would, in my opinion, be largely due to the influence of The Bee."
Miller: The course of The Bee in the present campaign meets my view to a charm. I rejoice to think that one of our leading state papers has the courage and manliness to come out and tell the truth. I am a strong republican, but I fail to see any republican-ism in a state ticket that Tom Majors stands at the head of. I am an old veteran, having served four years, lacking eighteen days, in the Sixth New York cavalry, but I don't propose to vote for a perjured villain for governor of the state of Nebraska, even if he was an old cavalry man. Judge Holcomb is the man for me. A good many republicans in my neighborhood think as I do. They can't go for Tom Majors.
Wayne: I am very much in accord with your position. I shall certainly not vote for Majors, but for Holcomb.
Talmage: Your course meets with my approval, and although I have been a republican all my life I cannot support such a man as Majors.
Gibbon: Your course in support of Holcomb is commendable. There are a few here who will support Majors.
Hileveland: I am heartily in favor of your position, and am unqualifiedly in favor of Holcomb and against Majors. Two other voters in this family are against Majors.
Burroughs: I am a republican, but will support Holcomb for governor.
Willcox: I think I will vote for Holcomb, but I am sorry that the republicans nominated such a man as Majors, as you have proved him to be a fraud.
Salem: As a republican, I approve of the course of The Bee in supporting Holcomb. There are a number of the republicans in this vicinity who also approve of the position of The Bee.
Unadilla: "Your view of Majors is all right. You can count on two from my house and I am hard to beat on election day to drum up voters."
Humboldt: "I approve the course of The Bee in the present campaign and shall give Holcomb my vote."
Butler: "Your action is justifiable and meets the approval of a large part of the republicans of this county. I hope you will be successful and that Holcomb will be our next Governor."
Alda: "I heartily approve of the course of The Bee and wish there were more men like you in Nebraska. My neighbors are republicans, but will vote for Holcomb."
Butler: "I decidedly approve of the position taken by The Bee. Nebraska cannot afford to seat in her gubernatorial chair the tool of any ring or corporation. There are two votes for Judge Holcomb in my household."
Willcox: "My father and myself will both vote for Holcomb. People speak well of him at this place."
Tilden: "I have almost always voted the republican ticket, but I will undoubtedly support Holcomb this time, as will all farmers who are enemies of railroads. Here all the pops and democrats and some republicans will vote for Holcomb."
Alda: "I am a republican and have always supported republican principles, having voted for A. Lincoln in 1864 while in line of duty facing an enemy who was trying to destroy the grandest government on earth. But if there is an enemy in the republican party who seeks to mislead the people for his own greed into the hands of corporate powers, for God's sake, muzzle the critter in its infancy. You have a multitude of farmers in the republican party. We have many pickets on guard, but I am sorry to say there are a few who are disloyal to just principles."
An tell: "I do highly approve of the stand The Bee has taken for Holcomb, and I know several republicans that will vote for him. We have got to elect him to save the people from ruination."
Creighton: "I approve the course you have taken in The Omaha Bee, and especially in regard to Holcomb. All the republicans I have talked to think the same."
Lincoln: Your manly stand in this campaign has been and is commended by every honest man. Irrespective of party. You are entitled to the deep respect, and lasting obligation of every man who wishes to see the right triumph. Do not be discouraged by vilification and slander and the lies of a subsidized press. Wherever there is a spark of honor or integrity in the breasts of men, your attitude and strength on these questions and during this campaign deserve the highest commendation, gratitude, love, and respect of men, irrespective of party, who desire that right shall triumph and not might, corporate corruption and greed.
Judson: Your position in regard to the election of governor is fully approved, though I have been a republican since 1861, I will vote for Holcomb.
Savage: I approve your course all through this campaign. I have no love for the pops, but would rather see their whole ticket elected than Tom Majors. I was an antislavery man until the g.o.p. was born, and have stood by it ever since, and intend to as long as I live, but I can't and won't vote for the B.&M. candidate.
Lyons: Your course meets my approval exactly, and one of my sons who is also a republican, says he cannot vote for Majors.
Valparaiso: I heartily approve your support of Judge Holcomb, and myself and two sons will vote for him.
Stella I, am very well satisfied with your course in regard to Majors. I know of at least six Republicans who will not vote for him, and Nemaha county will go several hundred popular majority.
Avoca I am a straight Republican but will not support Majors. If the Republican party cannot put up a better man than Majors, it means certain death for the party. The bosses must not think they can nominate anybody and then crack the whip and make all Republicans vote for him. I think when the election is over, they will find they have made a great mistake.
Alda I approve of your course in regard to Majors. If he is what you claim he is, I do not see how any Republican could vote for him. He is the only exception on the ticket that I will make, however.
Humboldt I heartily endorse and appreciate the fight of The Bee against corporate monopolies of whatever description, and hope that the ballots cast this fall will teach the corporate lion that the people will consent to be robbed no longer.
Hubbert The policy of The Bee as a Republican paper is to fight, on the grounds that it is evident that Majors is a member in good standing of that corrupt state house ring with which we have been burdened for the last twelve or fourteen years.
Madison Every fair-minded man must appreciate the stand you have taken for good and honest government. We have certainly had enough of the other sort in the past few years.
Tilden Your attitude toward Holcomb meets my hearty approval. There are several very influential Republicans here working against Majors. This county will give Holcomb a large majority. If we do, we hope to help elect a man who will give us an honest government and help the credit of the state.
Down with ring rule and rascals!
COERCING RAILROAD EMPLOYEES.
Never before in the history of Nebraska has such shameless an effort been made by the railroad companies to intimidate and coerce employees as in the present campaign. The railroad officials learned early in the campaign that they could not win by fair means, and subsequently they have resorted to browbeating shippers and coercing employees. With the probable exception of the Rock Island and the Milwaukee systems, every railroad to the state is engaged in this work of intimidation. The Missouri Pacific has sent one of its general agents along its line to instruct its employees to vote for Majors. The Union Pacific has also sent out its impression upon its employees the necessity for voting for the railroad candidate for governor, and agents of that company, in spite of the denials of its officials, are influencing the personal choice of every one of its employees, not only in this city but along its entire system in the state.
Every employee on these railroads, from section hand up to telegraphers and local freight agents, has been given to understand in a significant manner, that it will be to his interest to vote for Tom Majors.
Last Wednesday afternoon the local freight agent for the Union Pacific personally questioned each one of the fifty or sixty employees in the freight depot in this city as to their politics, and especially as to their intention of voting for or against Majors. He had each employee's name set down in a passbook. He first asked each man his politics and then asked him for whom he proposed to vote for governor. If the man replied that he intended to vote for Holcomb, he received no further attention. If the employee did not know whom he would vote for, he was given to understand in so many words that it would be to his interest to vote for Majors. And if the man answered that he proposed to vote for Holcomb, he was admonished in language too plain to be misunderstood that he would consult his own interests and those of his family by changing his mind before election.
When a representative of The Bee called upon the confidential clerk of the president of the Union Pacific and asked him in regard to the action of the local representatives of the company in coercing voters, that official promptly disclaimed all knowledge of the matter and stated that the local agent acted entirely without authority and upon his own responsibility. He stated further that the order issued years ago, permitting all employees to vote their own convictions, was still in force and effect. He did not explain, however, why one of the highest officials of the company was traveling over the line instructing employees how to vote at the coming election.
AFRAID OF HIS RECORD.
The D. & A. H. Journal's paid scribbler from Washington is still endeavoring to discredit The Bee's proposition to submit the charges against Majors to a committee of prominent Omaha clergymen. He has printed alleged statements from these ministers regarding the controversy and has so twisted and distorted the remarks of the reverend gentlemen that they have been compelled to enter a general protest. Rev. Frank Crane called at The Bee office to state that the remarks attributed to him by the Journal's correspondent were distorted from their true meaning.
The efforts of the Majors crowd to parry the effects of the proposition are extremely against him. Tom Majors dares not face the charges that have been brought against him. He makes the specious plea that he could not take the time from the campaign. The facts are that the evidence is all in documentary form. The whole list of charges could have been presented and considered within a few hours. Majors claimed that he would have been compelled to go to Washington to secure testimony to prove that he is innocent of the charges made against him with reference to his record as a contingent congressman. The facts are that he was in Washington throughout the whole of the time when his record was being investigated by a congressional committee, and after he had presented every evidence at his disposal, that committee reported the following:
We report that Thaddeus J. Majors is responsible for the misinformation which induced this committee to make the report of April 1, 1882 (No. 911, first session Forty-sixth Congress), and that he was aided therein by S. J. Alexander, secretary of state of Nebraska, by Pat O. Hawes and Dr. T. P. Selleck and George H. Reherts.
And we request the adjournment of the following resolution:
Resolved, That the clerk of this house be, and he is hereby instructed to furnish a printed copy of the report, including the evidence, to each of the following officers: The district attorney of the District of Nebraska, the attorney general of the United States, and the governor of the state of Nebraska, that they may take such action as they may deem suitable to the gravity of the wrongs committed by the persons whose conduct is in this conclusion set forth.
The foregoing report and resolution was adopted by a Republican congress without a dissenting vote. If Majors could not produce enough evidence in his own behalf to prove that he was not guilty of the charges how could he expect to find at Washington now the evidence necessary to prove that there was no foundation for the misconduct with which he was charged?
The records in regard to the other charges made against him are equally accessible. The committee could have investigated them without leaving the room. The proofs spoke for themselves. The fact yet remains that Majors simply did not dare face the charges at the risk of having seven leading ministers of Omaha report upon their truth. The proposition to submit the charges to the committee of ministers hit Majors in a vulnerable spot and he dared not run the risk of accepting it.
Reports of the intention of the major campaigners to colonize the state with illegal voters continue to come in. The railroad managers who are assisting in the project have also adopted a new and altogether original plan, never before attempted in Nebraska, but used effectively in eastern states last year. Voters who are not in sympathy with the attempt to elect Majors will be given free passes to points outside of the state or to distant points in the state, with the expectation that they will use them and thus be away from voting on election day. A prominent business man in an interior town of the state writes:
"I have just learned from a reliable source that a systematic effort at emigration of voters will take place about election time. Voters who cannot be induced to support certain candidates will be urged to accept transportation for themselves and their families for visiting and business tours to points far enough away to preclude their presence at home on election day."
Referring to the colonization scheme, the Wahoo Brawn says:
"It is an open secret that the B. & M. is temporarily colonizing out-of-the-state citizens on abandoned farms in the western part of the state in order to vote them for Majors. It is also known, and no attempt is made to deny it, that they have distributed the men employed in building branch lines in the west this summer (and which are now completed) throughout the country districts in order to secure so many votes for their pet candidate. The modus operandi is to fill two or three extra men on the section, and when election day comes, the section boss will walk them up to the polls and they will cast their votes in the interest of their masters. After election, the poor duped will be discharged and turned out to show for the winter."
NATION INVESTIGATION OF THE GRAND SILLINESS INDEPENDENT.
Mr. Rosewater has told the Republican state central committee that it is their duty to investigate the charges against Majors, and has made to them the proposition that these charges should be submitted to the following named Brawnsatan clergymen, six of whom are Republicans, and none of whom is a populist, namely:
Rev. Frank Crans of the First Methodist church, Rev. Dr. John Gordon of the Westminster Presbyterian church, Rev. Dr. A. J. of the Turkheim church, Rev. Dr. Newton Mann of the Union church, Rev. Dr. Charles W. Saviger of the People's church, Rev. Dr. Jesse W. Hatler of the Congregational church, and Rev. Dr. J. L. Hultman of the Swedish Mission church.
But the chairman of the committee has sent Rosewater an answer from Mr. Majors containing an unqualified refusal to submit to any investigation and a large amount of personal abuse against Rosewater, which the latter says he has neither the space nor inclination to answer. However, everybody is entitled to ask: If Mr. Majors is innocent, if the charges are false, why will he not submit to an investigation? He can establish his innocence; he should court the chance of an investigation. His refusal is pretty much like self-condemnation.
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ELECTS OFFICERS.

UNITE AGAINST REPUBLICANS.
It will be seen from a study of the above ticket that the Republican candidates are opposed really by the combined strength of the Democrats and Populists; while the prohibitionists, who are trying to spread dissatisfaction in the ranks of the party, will no doubt draw more votes from them than from either of the other parties. It is the combination that causes not a few heads to toss uneasily on the pillow, though the potency of the combination will be much more noticeable in the results of the county elections than on the state ticket. As was predicted early in the campaign, it still seems that the Republicans will carry nine of the congressional districts, and eleven, with a possibility of the entire eleven. This latter is now the desideratum for which they are working, the election of the state ticket being conceded, and which all the opposing elements are trying to defeat.
Early in the campaign, after the first blare of Republican trumpets had sounded the tocsin of war, it became evident from the oyster-like silence maintained by the Democrats and Populists that a scheme was brewing to encompass the G. O. P., in defeat, but what it really was did not become known till the conventions had been held, and they showed their hand by a fusion deal, followed out in nearly every county in the state without any dissension.
The adherents of the prohibitionist party proclaimed from the stepladder early, that all might know where they stood, that they would put full state, congressional and county tickets in the field and elect them. But nobody took them seriously, this claim having been made in the best of faith many times before and invariably falling to materialize.
IN THE LONESOME SECOND, The real fight is in the Second district, now represented by Hon. W.L. Hayes, democrat. This district is composed of Iowa, Johnson, Muscatine, Scott, Clinton and Jackson counties, and the democracy, which has practically always carried the district, is badly split over the post office appointments made at the instance of Judge Hayes, the German democrats claiming that in these matters, as in the appointment of N.J. Hunter at Davenport against Colonel Elbock, a prominent German democrat and editor of the Staats-Anzeiger, they have been entirely ignored and left out in the cold by those whom they very largely aided in securing election. This is strenuously denied by Hayes, and a letter has even been published from him, to the effect that purporting to anybody who says he made a single appointment for other reasons than those of personal fitness for the place "is a liar" and he will not allow such statements to go unpunished. These charges are the main thing that is being used against him in the campaign, aside from his record as a representative in congress.
George M. Curtis, a wealthy manufacturer of Clinton, is Judge Hayes' principal opponent, being the republican nominee. None of the other candidates have made sufficient not to be heard up here yet. The main cry against him is "Millionaire Curtis," who the opposition charges "made his money by toading to pools, trusts and combines, and, therefore, not a man who could properly represent the laboring men in congress." How much effect these charges will have is difficult to estimate, though they do not generally carry much weight. But this is an age of the working man, when everybody bids for his vote, promising more than the other fellow, and if the candidate's political destiny imagines that he will be played false, he is chary about lending his support to either. Curtis has, however, been a large employer of labor for a number of years and he has gotten along peaceably with his men, without a strike or a lockout.
SABIN AND CONAWAY CONFIDENT. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Henry Sabin has just returned from a trip through that district and speaking of politics down that way said: "Curtis is posting to be elected in spite of fate. He's the popular man, the one everybody is talking about, and there is not the slightest ground for a fear that he will be defeated by Hayes."
Out in the Ninth district, comprising Adair, Guthrie, Audubon, Cass, Montgomery, Mills, Pottawattamie, Shelby and Harrison counties, the situation is the same only different. The district is composed of "Pres. Clinton by Hon. A.U. Hager, who is making the race for a second term, opposition being supplied mainly by General James D. Weaver, (resident of this city. Hager is a comparative young man, a virtuous and able speaker, and a hard worker and has made a good record during his first term in congress. Weaver is a man who has grown old in political service, is of pleasing address, a logical and able speaker, and on his combination ticket is making the race very close and exciting. The republicans claim that McKinley's trip through the district alone gained them several thousand votes. In 1890 the district gave a democratic plurality of 1,343, while in 1892 it went republican by a plurality of 2,478, the populists and prohibitionists, of their antecedents, polling 1,295 and 3,017 votes in the same year.
F.R. Conaway, president of the State League of Republican clubs and state printer-elect, has just returned from an organization tour in which he visited every district in the state. He said: "We will carry every district in Iowa by a safe vote, with good pluralities in the Second and Eleventh, and in all the others there will be majorities greater than in recent years. Hager's plurality will not be less than 3,000, and I'd stake a farm on it. Curtis is a sure winner in the Second, and will be safely elected, though he will not have a very large plurality, comparatively, as 4,000 democratic majority is a great deal to overcome."
DEMOCRATS LAYING QUET. Keller Howard, chairman of the democratic state central committee and member of the state pharmacy commission, hasn't up to date seemed much inclined to talk. He is running a quiet campaign and "if he can't win, he is going to hold the majorities down to the lowest possible limit," as Secretary Spaulding of the pharmacy commission and a close friend of Mr. Howard's, says. They confidently expect, however, so far as can be learned from conversation with them, that Hayes and Weaver will be elected.
Outside of these two districts there is little contest in the state campaign this fall and interest therein has slumped. When there is little contest, there is little interest and the republican leaders profess that their greatest fear is that the adherents of the party will consider it such a foregone conclusion that they will fail to go to the polls and vote, allowing the democratic-populist-prohibition vote to "steal a home victory."
SITUATION IN NEW YORK. Democratic State Finance Commissioner Dolittle; Counsel; Work on "The Money."
NEW YORK, Oct. 21 Sunday is always a quiet day with politicians and dullness was the feature of the political headquarters in this city today. The work of correspondence was carried on as usual, but there were few visitors and no signs of activity, except at the Grant headquarters, where Mr. Grant's letter of acceptance of the Tammany nomination for mayor was made public. Colonel Strong's headquarters were closed during the day and Colonel Strong himself was not in evidence except to a few of his closest supporters.
At republican headquarters a long dispatch was received from Albany and was at once given out for publication, to the effect that the employees in the state departments there were employed in preparing and distributing thousands of campaign documents in the interest of the democrats. The dispatch says in part:
"The campaign work which should be done by the democratic state committee has been forced upon the state department and paid for from the state treasury. These documents are printed by State Printer James D. Lyons and a large force of the department clerks are taken from their duties to the station to stuff individual envelopes with Hill's campaign documents."
The very large registration of voters in this city has been the subject of much discussion and speculation with both parties, each claiming the advantage from the additional votes that will probably be polled on election day.
At the state democratic headquarters on Twenty-third street there was a general focusing of elation over the results of the registration. The leaders agree in saying that it meant the overwhelming defeat of Tammany Hall. Francis M. Scott said that in his opinion Mr. Grant would not get more than 100,000 votes. He believed the socialist-labor-populist-prohibition vote would not be over 20,000, which would leave in the vicinity of 245,000 votes to be divided between Grant and Strong, thus allowing a plurality of 45,000 for Strong. This was the substance of a computation made by the various leaders early in the day.
The recent arrest of several hundred men for alleged fraudulent registration is believed to have a deterrent effect, and the large registration considered a big increase in men entitled to cast their ballots. District Attorney John R. Fellows today, however, expressed himself as not at all surprised at the registration. He thought there nothing extraordinary in it, and said he could see nothing substantial to be derived for either side from it.
The chief interest of the present week among republican centers is the appearance of ex-President Harrison on Wednesday next at Carnegie Music Hall. In democratic circles, the starting tomorrow of Governor Flower on a tour through the state in the interests of the democratic ticket is raising much interest because of the masterstroke the democrats claim Chairman Thacher has made in securing the services of the governor on such an important mission. There has been a disposition on the part of the various organizations here to make public their allegiance to their respective tickets. Today, however, the executive board of the grand lodge of the Independent Order, Sons of Benjamin, resolved not to permit the use of its name in connection with politics. This decision was arrived at in a meeting of the board today, at which resolutions were adopted repudiating any attempt to make use of the order for political purposes. This action was taken because it was said an attempt had been made to represent the order as opposed to the candidacy of Senator Hill.
(Independent) Election.
NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-The total registration in this city for the four days is 208,801, as compared with the same period last year, when the total was 203,919.
BROOKLYN, Oct. 28. Yesterday was the fourth and last day of registration, and 21,319 additional names were enrolled. This makes a total of 191,312. In 1892 the total registration was 178,036.
Shrinking Head Little Harm.
Charley Sherman, who got drunk Saturday night and tried to carve several people, was arrested about 3 o'clock yesterday morning by Sergeant Slifford on the charge of assault with intent to kill. Sherman was in the Turf saloon playing cards and lost a game and refused to pay for it. His partner, Harvey Scales, attempted to reason with him and the party adjourned to the sidewalk. Sherman was quarrelsome and Scales finally left.
Jim Overton was standing by and Sherman turned toward him. Sherman had a long, open pocketknife in his hand, and without provocation struck at him with the knife several times but did not reach the skin. One of the cuts was directly over the heart, the knife going through all the clothing. Overton got away and Sherman turned to a traveling man named Eimson, who was standing in the door, and demanded that he buy the drinks. Eimson pulled a revolver and refused. Charley Moore, a hack driver, came up just then and Sherman rushed at him with an imprecation and hit him in the face, breaking the skin over the eye. Moore knocked him down, but when somebody yelled out that Sherman had a knife he ran away, Sherman proceeded to a house of prostitution, where he was arrested.
None of the parties mentioned in Sunday morning's paper as having been assaulted were injured save Moore, and he was not seriously hurt.

FATE TALKS AT CHICAGO
Hundreds of People Entertained by Colorado's Governor at Lake Trout Park.
OLD PARTIES CHARGED WITH DUPLICITY

the four,
CHICAGO, Oct. 28. Governor Davis of Colorado addressed a large audience at an open-air meeting on the lakefront park; and in the evening spoke to a large audience in Tatler's policy. When Governor Walter reached Chicago this morning he was met at the depot by a delegation of several hundred populists and a brass band and escorted to the Grand Pacific, where he held an impromptu reception in the lobby for half an hour. At 2 o'clock the grand parade headed by a procession of 800 people's party men, who escorted the governor to the Lake Front park. At the Columbus monument a crowd of perhaps 10,000 people were assembled. Colonel Copeland, chairman of the county committee, introduced the governor, who was received with cheers. He spoke for half an hour. He assured the multitude that Colorado was in excellent shape and that the populists would be triumphant. "This country is passing through a period of depression worse than any in its history," he said. "Five million men and women are out of employment. Those who are at work are receiving less wages than ever before. At the close of the gold and the years succeeding, we enjoyed unequaled prosperity. We then had in circulation nearly twenty hundred million dollars. The republican party and its leaders in the congress, at the dictation of Wall Street, set about withdrawing the money from circulation. They contracted the currency until depression followed, last year, in the midst of untold suffering and closed workshops, due to the contraction of the currency, President Cleveland assembled congress for the purpose of having it repeal the silver law, which plunged the country into still deeper distress. All of the legislation of the past twenty-four years of republican rule and that of the present administration has been for the corporations, the capitalists, the money class.
ONE MEASURE FROM JEFFERSON.
"There has been but one piece of legislation in favor of and for the benefit of the people, and that was the pension bill, and Grover Cleveland sat up at night for six months to vote individual pension bills. Wall Street controls the republican and democratic parties, and in turn the financial policy is dictated to Wall Street by Great Britain.
"The democratic party has done something that its predecessor would not dare to have done, and that was the issuance of 50,000,000 of gold bonds. This was done to benefit the money lenders of Wall Street."
In the evening Governor Walter was escorted by a brass band to the hall where he was to speak, about 4,000 people had gathered to hear him and there were loud cries of "Walter, Walter, Walter for '96." The governor was given a rousing reception as he advanced to begin his address, and it was some time before he was allowed to proceed. His speech, which was an elaboration of his talk in the afternoon, consisted chiefly in censure of the democratic and republican parties and arguments to show that the welfare of the people demands that the government be entrusted to the populists.
At the conclusion of his speech, which was greeted with great applause, Governor Walter was escorted back to his hotel by a cheering crowd of fully 4,000 people.
Moran's Choice -
Illinois Democrat, George J. Sterling formerly a member of the Nebraska house of representatives from Douglas county, and now a resident of Chicago, is in the city in the interest of an insurance company and is at the Dellone. Mr. Sterling says that Mayor Hopkins of Chicago, being a skillful organizer, has the democratic forces in Chicago in good standing and will certainly be successful in the coming city election. He also expresses a view as to the senatorship in Illinois, quite natural for a democrat, and that is that William McVeagh will be the choice.
M.L. Chenault, Leonard, Mo. In Agony - 15 Years With Salt Rheum Hood's Sarsaparilla Gave a Perfect Cure.
"C. I. Hood & Co., Morelli's Sarsaparilla is an excellent medicine. I had eczema in my left leg for fifteen years. Towards the end, my leg was covered in sores, scabs, and about every week corruption would appear under the skin and the scabs would fall off. The itching and burning sensations made me describe the agonies I suffered. I spent a great deal of money for different remedies but did not get relief. About a year ago, a physician advised me to take Hood's Kidney Pills. After taking five bottles, now all the sores, scabs, and pain have vanished and I am enjoying perfect health. I think Hood's Sarsaparilla is without equal and clearly recommend it to all suffering humanity."

tide stand the worklngnKn of the clly , clam
oring for a chance lo earn wages , doing the
things thai the chain gang lias been doing for
board and lodging. They are seconded by
a good many of the substantial business men
of the city who , partly on their own account
and partly on account of the worlclngmen
themselves , would like to see the latter
given a chance to earn something. On the
other side ore a part at least of the city offi
cials , who look at the question from a little
different standpoint from the worklngman
oul of a job and his friends.
"If we don't have some'work for the chain
gang to do , " said an official yesterOay , "we'll
very soon have our Jail full to overflowing.
News travels fast among petty criminals , and
If we support our drunks and vacs In case

to the Stale Insane hospital located there
Yesterday morning he detailed some of his
experiences to his congregation In an Interesting
esting- manner and dealt Quite largely In
suggestions as to the ways In which the
spread of Insanity could be checked. He
thought that county clerks should Lo In-
\etled wllh Iho tight to refuse to Issue a
license to wed to any person whose mind
was affected. The disease could nlso be kept
under control largely by 'he jirevi-ntlon of
cousins marrying and by rthlu. : UIQ mi ids
of the laboring classes Home occupation to
take them from thoughts of their endless
work. One great cause ot Insanity Is the
unceasing hurry and bustle \mcrlcnn life.
Turning night Into day and day Into night ,
as Is necessary In many lines of buKlrcss ,
has Its bad effect Providing tccn.itlon ,
however , could counteract some of the ill re

WASHINGTON , Oct. 28. The extension of
civil rervlce and political assessment cases
were discussed by Civil Service Com-
in ssloner Hooscvelt , In an Interview with an
Associated press reporter Mr Itoosevclt
said : "Every fall as Ihe election comes the
need of a radical nnd sweeping extension
of the classified service becomes more and
more apparent. At all Ihe government
services not under the president the civil
service law forms a.vast bribery bureau ,
by means ofwhich is gained an unhealthy
stimulus to political nctivlly of lhal very
cl.-us which \\e should be mosl sorry to see
interested In politics. The enormous bulk
of officers have really no connection whatever
with poll ! cs. Their duties arc In no respect
political and they should be appointed wholly
without regard to political situations and
kept Just as long as they do their duty well.
It Is mere nonsense , and dishonest nonsense ,
to pay thai better service can bo obtained
by having In subordinate positions men who
arc of the same political party as the head
of an administration The railway mall eervco
tco can be cited as proof of this. No de
partment of the government gives greater
satisfaction to the public al large , jet the
great bulk of railway mail employes now are
men who were appointed during Mr. Harri
son's presidency or In Mr. Cleveland's first
term. All of these of the present administra
tion were drawn from lists , as has been tlio
case during the last five years. Those enter
ing th service under the cltll sorv ce form
tlio bulk of the emplo > e * . Including repub'l-
c'ins democrats , prohibitionists , populists
and mugwumps , all wholly w Ihout regard
to politics nnd all kept on the rolls for
efficient service. II Is nol of the leasl consequence -
sequence which of the employes believe In
protection and which In free trade which ore
for free coinage and which against free co n-
nge of silver As a matter of fact nobody
can tell anything about their views on the
aubjcct. Prom the performance of their
duties no one could tell a republican from n
democrat. The rigid enforcement of the civil
service lawla the reason why there has
been no detcr.oratlon In Ihe service In Ihe
changes of administration.
INDIAN SCHOOLS SEHVICD.
"The rest ot the government service should
be conducted In just the same way. The
internal revenue office should be classified
and all Us men appointed regardless of
politics. Thr Indian school service Is another
object lesson of non-partisan service
Hitherto after every administration change
there have besn sweeping changes In the
school service at Indian agencies for purely
political considerations. But this has not
been so In the last ten. years because the
evil service law- has been enforced In lhal
service , and because rccenlly that law was
almlnlsUred by Super ntendent Hallman with
a desire to obtain Ihe spirit as well as Ihe
letter.
"What has been going on recently In Pitts-
burg shous the Iniquity of the present sys
tem. . There one of the congressional candi
dates ; has actually sought to levy a political
assessment : , amounting to a month's salar > ,
from the employes ot the Internal revenue
service Similar efforts have been mnde lo
assess postofflce employes. The money was
sought wholly \\lthout regard lo Ihe politi
cal affiliationsof employes. It Is a mere
piece of blackmail and Just as If gained by
knockliiE down clerks on the highway , ll
seems hard to understand why an Intelligent
community vvlll tolerate so gross an abuse ,
where a man deliberately plunders a set of
public servants that he may get funds where
with to debauch voters. The commission re
cently had before It the case of the recorder
of deeds , Taylor , and during the Investiga
tion It was proven that wherever the civil
service law did not obtain In Washington a
condition ot actual terror e-dstid In the pub
lic service and that Janitors , porters and
all other employes were forced to pay politi
cians for places and pay to retain them
Anything more degrading , more servile
more vicious , cannot be Imagined.
NO ARGUMENT AGAINST IT.
"Wo have had a great many public men
attack the merit Bvstem but there has never
yel been any argument advanced against It
or In favor of the spoils that was both lion '
est and intelligent There are honest mea
who are yet lee prejudiced , too Ignorant or
too unobscrvlng to understand the fruitful
evils of a corrupt public service administered
In a spirit of base partisanship. There no
plenty ot dishonest politicians , both shrewd
and unprincipled , who , for their o\vn base
Interests , denounce the merit s > stcm and
peek to excite prejudice against it Hut
there Is not a single honest American de
siring the welfare of the country who can
look for a moment at the two systems and
consider the principles for which they stand
without becoming a hearty ally of and be
liever In the now methods. The law Is
steadily making headway. The classified
service Is extending all the time. The com
mission , however. Is necessarily required lo
he active In supervising the extension of the
law. This la notably the case In the
newly classified postofllces , where Ihere Is
always a hitch , it being dlfflcult lo got Ihe
law well observed al the outbet. Take In
diana , for Instance Indianapolis has been
classified for many jenrs. There was a
practical failure In having1 the law abso
lutely enforced during Mr. Cleveland's first
administration At the beginning of Mr.
Harrison's administration a rigid observance
of law had been , accomplished. On Iho other
hand during Ihe present administration there
I.ad been great difficulty In a number of
smaller Indiana postotllces In which po t-
mastcrs have "made every efforl , sometimes
successfully , to evade and nullify the law.
Several of these cases are now under con
sideration.
"The commission Is not only now Investi
gating what Is being done in EOIIID of these
offices , but It also Is keeping a vigilant ej-o
on political assessment matters. The law ,
unfortunately , Is not strong enough. It ought
to be strengthened so as to prohibit any
one from making a political contribution tea
a government ofilcial The latter would then
be lefl free to contribute freely of their ov.n
accord. At present the demands from high
olllcers of Important committees are com
piled with by Die clerks because they know
these olllclals are In Ihe same party organi
zation wllh their own Inferior officers
"The commission has some amusing ex
perienceswith certain 'chronic opponents. '
There are certain men In the senate and
lower house who delight In making charges
which there Is no chanceto answer but who
never take up any challenge of the commis
sion when It convicts them of mlBstatcment
and when making mlsstatcments avoid the
Issueby simply falling to respond lo any let
ter of correction from the commission "

Chicago Tanners to Sturt an Enterprise
There Rmrdnylntr Alnny Mm.
SAN FItANClSCO , ; Oct. 2S. A novel In
dustry has been started In the San Jonquln
valley by Chicago tanners , who selected
Ciillfornla. for climatic reasons for their ex
tensive operations. It means tlie employ
ment of large forces of workmen ami the
expenditure of large sums of money. The
tanners nre to cultivate aneed from the
roots of which they can tan better leather
than from anything else The men viho
had most to do In establishing the cntci-
prlse nre Profs A. Cullcy , J. H , Carotheis
and II M. Davis of Chicago , who are said
to represent two of the largest tanneries In
the world.
A contract was closed through the south
ern departmenl wh.ert.bv 5,000 acres of land
In the San Joaquln valley were purchased
for the new Industry. The land Is situated
about eight miles from Merceil and Is part
of the Immense tract owned by the Chicago
cage concern Sixty families in or near
Chicago ha-ve been notified to move at once
to Merced , and befoie the end of this -week
they will be on the land It Is expected
that at least-300 families will be placed on
tlio 5,000 acres us soon as operations are
fully under way.
A scheme has been mentioned to plant
canlgre , a wei-tl of the yellow dock family ,
over the bioad acres. Thla vegetable con
tains from 23 to 33 per cent of tannlc acid ,
which can be extracted by chemical | iio-
cesa nt small expense. A large quantity of
the weed , twelve carloads of tvvolve tons ,
has been ordered from the mountains of
New Mexico , where It abounds. The pro
ducers expect to got about 003 carloadH of
the concentrated canlpre ncld n jenr ,
amounting to somethliiK like G.COO tons This
will be tent to Chicago for the- use ot tan
neries near the stock ynrOs
In addition to crowing the plant , there
will be extensive works for reducing the
roots Into pulp , composed mostly of tannlc
ncld. Thefnctoiy and other bullcllriKS ,
dwellings , vvlll cost about $300,000. If thn
enterprise proves successful , It is believed
that the cxpeilmetit vvlll be followed by
ma.ny ranchers , nnd then n new Industry of
considerable Importance will be established
In California.

Four days ago she was stricken with apoplexy and ever since has been hovering between life and death. Her great age and the illness next to impossible recovery, and yesterday the much-feared end came. Mrs. DeVol has been a resident of this city ever since 1847.

They came to Council Bluffs with the Mormons, and when they arrived here, concluded to make it their home. They had ten children, of whom P. C. and Mary, who still live here, Harriet Green, deceased.

What Will Be Done with the City Prisoners
in the Future.
CHAIN GANG MAY BE ABOLISHED
Report to the Council About
Jail Labor
Come Up tonight.
What is to be done with the city prisoners is a matter that is being deliberated by the city officials just now, and there is a good deal that is perplexing about it. On one side stand the workingmen of the city, clamoring for a chance to earn wages, doing the things that the chain gang has been doing for board and lodging. They are seconded by a good many of the substantial business men of the city who, partly on their own account and partly on account of the workingmen themselves, would like to see the latter given a chance to earn something. On the other side are a part at least of the city officials, who look at the question from a little different standpoint from the workingman out of a job and his friends.
"If we don't have something for the chain gang to do," said an official yesterday, "we'll very soon have our jail full to overflowing. News travels fast among petty criminals, and if we support our drunks and vags in idleness, it won't be very long before the procession will be headed our way. Thousands will fall over themselves in the mad rush to get put behind the nice, warm bars of the Council Bluffs Jail. If we had a rock pile for the fellows to work on, we might let the deserving laboring men have the contract for keeping the streets clean. But as it is, the work on the streets is about the only thing we have now to keep our jail population down to a desirable figure."
The petition already referred to in the columns of The BCD is to be presented to the council at its regular meeting next Monday night. Frank Trimble will be the speaker for the laboring men.
This sale started Saturday and judging from the crowd and the satisfaction with which the people bought, it's a great success. On Monday we will offer new inducements in the various departments, the following of which is a partial list.

Presentation of Insanity.
Rev. Stephen Phelps, D.D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church, spent a part of last week in Independence, attending the synod of Iowa, and while there paid a visit to the State Insane hospital located there yesterday morning he detailed some of his experiences to his congregation in an interesting manner and dealt quite largely in suggestions as to the ways in which the spread of insanity could be checked. He thought that county clerks should be entitled with the right to refuse to issue a license to wed to any person whose mind was affected. The disease could also be kept under control largely by the prevention of cousins marrying and by providing regular employment to the laboring classes. Home occupation, to take them from thoughts of their endless work, was one of his suggestions. One great cause of insanity is the incessant hurry and bustle of American life. Turning night into day and day into night, as is necessary in many lines of business, has its bad effect. Providing recreation, however, could counteract some of the ill results of this unnatural Eastern way, and he was not sure that even the theater was a wholly unmixed evil. In that it takes the mind off the worry and the business of the day and provides it with the relaxation which it so much needs. Intoxicating liquors, he said, are directly responsible for most of the insanity in the United States and for 26 percent of that in Great Britain, while the opium habit also has a hand.

John Templeton, Deputy Marshals Fowler and Anderson, Officer Murphy, John Birkenstein, D.R. Hubbard and H.I. Miller left yesterday afternoon for Des Moines, to testify in the case of the United States against Harry St. Clair, charged with counterfeiting. The first four named were seated in the city jail yesterday afternoon indulging in reminiscences of a trip they took a couple of years ago to St. Louis on a similar errand, when one of them let a secret out from under his hat, where it had been carefully concealed for a long time. It seems that when they were in St. Louis they went to one of the parks, and being somewhat tired, as many men will get when they are away from home, they lay down on the grass and all but Anderson went to sleep. A carriage drove by, containing a boy and his mother. The boy, seeing the crowd, with a good deal of interest, turned to the elder and said, "Look at those four old bums sleeping on the grass. Wonder where the police are." Anderson lost no time in raising his friends out of their slumbers and leaving the park. This time they were more armed with a certificate of good moral character, signed by the mayor and bearing the city seal.

Son of the Peculiar Election of Life in the Current - WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. The extension of civil service and political assessment cases were discussed by Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt, in an interview with an Associated Press reporter. Mr. Roosevelt said: "Every fall as the election comes, the need of a radical and sweeping extension of the classified service becomes more and more apparent. At all the government services not under the president, the civil service law forms a vast bribery bureau, by means of which is gained an unhealthy stimulus to political activity of that very class which we should be most sorry to see interested in politics. The enormous bulk of officers have really no connection whatever with politics. Their duties are in no respect political and they should be appointed wholly without regard to political situations and kept just as long as they do their duty well. It is mere nonsense, and dishonest nonsense, to pay that better service can be obtained by having in subordinate positions men who are of the same political party as the head of an administration. The railway mail service can be cited as proof of this. No department of the government gives greater satisfaction to the public at large, yet the great bulk of railway mail employees now are men who were appointed during Mr. Harrison's presidency or in Mr. Cleveland's first term. All of these of the present administration were drawn from lists, as has been the case during the last five years. Those entering the service under the civil service form the bulk of the employees, including Republicans, Democrats, prohibitionists, populists, and mugwumps, all wholly without regard to politics and all kept on the rolls for efficient service. It is not of the least consequence which of the employees believe in protection and which in free trade, which for free coinage and which against free coinage of silver. As a matter of fact, nobody can tell anything about their views on the subject. From the performance of their duties, no one could tell a Republican from a Democrat. The rigid enforcement of the civil service laws is the reason why there has been no deterioration in the service in the changes of administration.
INDIAN SCHOOLS SERVICE. "The rest of the government service should be conducted in just the same way. The internal revenue office should be classified and all its men appointed regardless of politics. The Indian school service is another object lesson of non-partisan service. Hitherto, after every administration change, there have been sweeping changes in the school service at Indian agencies for purely political considerations. But this has not been so in the last ten years because the civil service laws have been enforced in that service, and because recently that law was administered by Superintendent Hallman with a desire to obtain the spirit as well as the letter.
"What has been going on recently in Pittsburgh shows the iniquity of the present system. There one of the congressional candidates has actually sought to levy a political assessment, amounting to a month's salary, from the employees of the Internal Revenue service. Similar efforts have been made to assess post office employees. The money was sought wholly without regard to the political affiliations of employees. It is a mere piece of blackmail and just as if gained by knocking down clerks on the highway, it seems hard to understand why an intelligent community will tolerate such a gross abuse, where a man deliberately plunders a set of public servants that he may get funds with which to debauch voters. The commission recently had before it the case of the recorder of deeds, Taylor, and during the investigation it was proven that wherever the civil service law did not obtain in Washington, a condition of actual terror reigned in the public service and that janitors, porters, and all other employees were forced to pay politicians for places and pay to retain them. Anything more degrading, more servile, more vicious, cannot be imagined.
NO ARGUMENT AGAINST IT. "We have had a great many public men attack the merit system but there has never yet been any argument advanced against it or in favor of the spoils that was both honest and intelligent. There are honest men who are yet too prejudiced, too ignorant, or too unobservant to understand the fruitful evils of a corrupt public service administered in a spirit of base partisanship. There are plenty of dishonest politicians, both shrewd and unprincipled, who, for their own base interests, denounce the merit system and speak to excite prejudice against it. But there is not a single honest American desiring the welfare of the country who can look for a moment at the two systems and consider the principles for which they stand without becoming a hearty ally of and believer in the new methods. The law is steadily making headway. The classified service is extending all the time. The commission, however, is necessarily required to be active in supervising the extension of the law. This is notably the case in the newly classified post offices, where there is always a hitch, it being difficult to get the law well observed at the outer posts. Take Indiana, for instance. Indianapolis has been classified for many years. There was a practical failure in having the law absolutely enforced during Mr. Cleveland's first administration. At the beginning of Mr. Harrison's administration a rigid observance of law had been accomplished. On the other hand, during the present administration there has been great difficulty in a number of smaller Indiana post offices in which postmasters have "made every effort, sometimes successfully, to evade and nullify the law. Several of these cases are now under consideration.
"The commission is not only now investigating what is being done in certain of these offices, but it also is keeping a vigilant eye on political assessment matters. The law, unfortunately, is not strong enough. It ought to be strengthened so as to prohibit anyone from making a political contribution as a government official. The latter would then be left free to contribute freely of their own accord. At present, the demands from high officers of important committees are compiled with by the clerks because they know these officers are in the same party organization with their own inferior officers.
"The commission has some amusing experiences with certain 'chronic opponents.' There are certain men in the senate and lower house who delight in making charges which there is no chance to answer but who never take up any challenge of the commission when it convicts them of misstatements and when making misstatements avoid the issue by simply failing to respond to any letter of correction from the commission."

VALLEY, Neb., Oct. 28. (Special.) The
case of Nelson Brown against the county
sheriff in the Steimel seed, deal was settled
last week in Judge Blair's court, and Mr.
Brown given a Judgment for $5,493.20. This

the farmers in this vicinity. The company
went under and the farmers were left holding
the empty sacks, while the company had
possession of their seeds. The following is
a list of farmers in this community who
will now get paid for their last year's crop

farmers of this community have nothing to
complain of.

Chicago Tanners to Start an Enterprise
San Francisco, Oct. 28. A novel industry has been started in the San Joaquin valley by Chicago tanners, who selected California for climatic reasons for their extensive operations. It means the employment of large forces of workmen and the expenditure of large sums of money. The tanners are to cultivate anseed from the roots of which they can tan better leather than from anything else. The men who had most to do in establishing the enterprise are Prof. A. Cullen, J. H. Carothers, and H. M. Davis of Chicago, who are said to represent two of the largest tanneries in the world.
A contract was closed through the southern department where 5,000 acres of land in the San Joaquin valley were purchased for the new industry. The land is situated about eight miles from Merced and is part of the immense tract owned by the Chicago Canning concern. Sixty families in or near Chicago have been notified to move at once to Merced, and before the end of this week, they will be on the land. It is expected that at least 300 families will be placed on the 5,000 acres as soon as operations are fully under way.
A scheme has been mentioned to plant cane, a weed of the yellow dock family, over the broad acres. This vegetable contains from 23 to 33 percent of tannic acid, which can be extracted by chemical processes at small expense. A large quantity of the weed, twelve carloads of twelve tons, has been ordered from the mountains of New Mexico, where it abounds. The producers expect to get about 600 carloads of the concentrated cane, amounting to something like 60,000 tons. This will be sent to Chicago for the use of tanneries near the stock yards.
In addition to crowding the plant, there will be extensive works for reducing the roots into pulp, composed mostly of tannic acid. The factory and other buildings, dwellings, will cost about $300,000. If the enterprise proves successful, it is believed that the experiment will be followed by many ranchers, and then a new industry of considerable importance will be established in California.

TORT CASON, I. T., Oct. 58-Martyr law
has been declared here and is enforced
strongly at every point in the station. There
are today 300 of the Cherokee mill in the
old, approaching the stronghold of the
instigators from the east and north, while
Agent Wisdom's, force of Indian policemen
are scouring the country toward the west.
A large field of United States marshals
under the command of Heck Raner have
none straight into what is supposed to be
the home of the gang, near Hell Port, as it
is here that the people in Kennett are
friendly to them and assist them in every
way.
A strong force is kept on guard at all
posts on the Missouri, Peninsula, and should
an attempt be made to reach any point the
result would be disastrous to both sides.
Deputy United States Marshal Dobson,
who, with his posse, has been out for two
days, has just come in, and says he and
his men were close to Jim French, Sun
McWilliams, Will Harlan, and two more of
the "Cock gang", but after a twelve-hour
chase they were compelled to give up, at
their horses were completely worn out. He
is of the opinion that the gang is scattered
all over the country
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 Secretary Smith
has been consulting the Indian office
regarding the use of troops in the Indian
Territory to suppress the outlaws. It is
understood Attorney General Olney,
to whom the question was referred, has
decided they may be used if the treaties so
provide, as suggested by the Indian office
secretary Smith has called on the Indian
officer for citations supporting the measure.
The commissioner stated that if it is still
thought necessary to send troops to the
territory, to which the commissioner replied
that no further reports had been received
from the territory. It is said that the only
question as to the authority to use troops
is as to whether the marauders are
intruders. The Cook gang, it is asserted,
are half-breeds, belonging to the different tribes,
and cannot be classified as intruders.
NORTH SMITH, Ark., Oct. 28-Eight thousand
posts have been distributed in that
section of the Indian Territory where the
Cook gang of outlaws is known. It is a dead or alive reward by the United States government
and will assure the ultimate annihilation of the gang. It is understood
that the railroads and express companies
are doing their part in a different direction. The reward is as follows:
"In authority of the attorney general of
the United States, I hereby offer a reward of
$230 for the bodies of the following named,
delivered to me in a state suitable on special approval
of the county. Deputy United States marshals can
receive the reward. Names of outlaws:
Jesse Cole, Crawford Crosby, alias Cherokee Hill,
Huck Wrightman alias Hillter Creek; Columbus Means,
Sketer James French, Sam Brown, Perry Brown,
Thomas Quarles, George and Jennie James,
Charles Clifton, George Newton, Sinister Kid, Henry
Booth, and Thomas Reed to be accepted in full of
all expenses so far as the government is concerned.
O. J. THOMPSON,
"United States Marshal."
TORT GIBSON, I. T., Oct. 27. A runner
just in from west of Grand River reported
to the Cherokee militia stationed here that
the Cook gang is in hiding: in a cave three
miles northwest of this place. Cherokee Bill,
a half-breed negro and one of the most des-
picable men in the gang, was seen in that
vicinity about 4 o'clock this afternoon. The
runner states there are sixteen horses
staked in a pasture near this cave and this
fact leads to the belief that the entire
gang is fortified in this cave.
Richeau Crittenden is reported to have been murdered by the Cook gang. Crittenden was a member of the sheriff's posse;
that first attacked the Cooks, he soon
afterwards joined the Cooks, but was murdered for fear he would betray them.

The public declaration of Premier
Hosebery , that tlie leading question in
the next general election In Great Ilrlt-
alu would be the abolition of the
House of Lords , is unquestionably
the most Important political nn-
jiouuccmcnt that has been made
in the United Kingdom for years.
There can be no doubt as lo the abso
lute earnestness and sincerity of Lord
Hosebery in making this declaration.
It Is not the outcome of a hasty con
clusion or n Midden Impulse. The pre
mier has considered Hie question care
fully and deliberately. He has felt pub
lic opinion on the subject. He lias
undoubtedly consulted with the peers
theniRflves. And JIK a result he has
reached the conclusion that the time
lias come for putting to the test of pub
lic * oplnton tlie question whether the
hereditary branch of the legls'lative
power of the nation should be longer
maintained. It will be remembered
that Mr. Gladstone , just before his with
drawal from public life , warned the
House of Lords that Its time of trial be
fore the tribunal of the people could not
bo much longer delayed , but It was ap
prehended that his Kuccosisor , himself a
peer , would not be disposed to advocate
or oven to countenance any movement
looking to the abolition of the House
of Lords. His H' > ech at Ilradford
shows that there w . .n no reason for such
: i fear.
By this declaration the question is
given paramount Importance In British
politics. It will take precedence of
every other subject , and It Is hardly
necessary to say that it will cause one
of the most vigorous and bitter con
tests ever known in the politics of the
United Kingdom. The peers will not
surrender their power without a most
determined light lo retain it , for there
Is involved the essential principle of
the British political system. The House
of Lords is the bulwark of the monar
chy. Destroy that and the way is open
for the Institution of a republican 'sys
tem of government. As to what the
popular verdict will bo on this quest Ion
there is little reason to doubt that it
will be largely In favor of abolishing
tho'Lords , and yet tradition is still strong
\vllii the English people. If Itoscbery
shall succeed in the policy he has tie-
chiml his name will figure among the
greatest of Hrltlsh statesmen.

The balloting for I'nlted States senator
in the joint session of the Georgia leg-
islnluro does not commence until next
week Tuesday , but already the prelim
inary skirmish between the ambitious
aspirants Is assuming an interesting
phase. . There are two elections to be
held , one for the unexplred term made
vacant by the death of the late Senator
Colqultt , willdi , however , extends only
through the short session of congress
tlmt U to end Murch ! , 1805 , and the
other for the full term , to follow this
unexplred portion. For the ftrst them-
will bu no contest , for the reason that
It is not considered a big enough prize
to contest for. Senator Putrid : Walsh ,
who was given the appointment by Gov
ernor N'orthea when Speaker Crisp de
clined the honor , will bo permitted to
serve through the Fifty-third congress
unmolested.
J-'or the long term the struggle Is to
bo hotly waged. The new senator
will , of course , bu a democrat ; because
the democrats have an overwhelming
proj > ondorance In the legislature , but
still the populisms are so strong that it
has been doomed advisable by the
democratic leaders to resort to the cau
cus , a plan tlmt has not been followed
In Georgia for many years. While
there are four avowed candidates , the
choice has narrowed down to two , Col
onel A. O. liacon and Congressman
Turner. Congressman Turner U the
administration candidate , and the Jed-
i-rnl fnrcos are leaving1 nothing undone
to assist him lu bis canvas * ? . Colonel
liacon , therefore , poses as the -anti-ad
ministration candidate , ami , according
to best accounts , is considerably In the
lead despite the hostllo influence from
Wnxhlngton. Senator Walsh Is nlso n
candidate , lint nil ngree Hint he Is prae-
tlcnlly out of the race. The caucus will
most probably bo held this week , so
that Its decision may bo promptly rail-
tied when the legislative houses meet
lit Joint session.
It Is quite possible , however , that n
complication may ensue , out of which

would doubtless be glad to give .reign

To those who have given close at
tention lo the course of political events
In Germany during the past two years
the rofligiintlon of Chancellor von Caprivl
will not cause surprise. It has boon
likely to happen at almost any time
since the socialist question has been a
matter of serious discussion under the
regime of the present emperor. The
policy of the kaiser has been peculiar.
He does not favor socialism , nnd yet
his course has been rather to encourage
the growth of socialistic ideas. An ex
perimenter in the affairs of government ,
the young emperor lias talked on al
most every occasion In a way to stimu
late .socialism , probably without intend
ing to do so. Tlie firm policy of Uls-
uuuvk with respect Jo this political sys
tem was rejected by the sovereign. The
retirement of that great statesman from
public life was due to this. His suc
cessor , General von Caprivl , was ap
pointed because his sentiments were
known to be more liberal. He did not
favor the doctrines of socialism , but on
the other hand , he did not believe in
extreme repressive measures. Under
the rule of llismarck socialism did not
make much headway. After lie retired
it assumed fresh activity and made
rapid progress.
With the growth of fhe socialistic Idea
there was developed the spirit of an
archism. It may be contended that
there is legitimately no connection be
tween these doctrines , but the fact re
mains that in Germany , nt least , socialIsm -
Ism seems to have generated anarchy.
With the development of the latter came
the necessity. In the estimation of the
Imperial authority , for repressive meas
ures that would reach out to the so
cialists. It was nt this point that the
Issue was made between the emperor
and the chancellor. Caprivl did not
believe in a policy intended to crush
socialism. lib had no sympathy with
anarchism , but Ju * did not think it nec
essary to strike at the socialists In order
to reach the anarchists. Ills Idea was"
that If th6 former * } -were * given the
freedom they asked for they would In
time work- their own elf-tle 1 ruction.
Tills view was nSt acceptable to the
emperor and to others whose counsel
he sought , and when the conference of
ministers decided against the chancellor
his only course was to resign.
The event has naturally created some
excitement In the political circles of the
German empire , but there Is nothing in
the nature of n crisis. Tlie prompt ap
pointment of a successor to Cnprivl
shows that the emperor had boon ex
pecting what has taken place and was
fully prepared to net. The important
fnct In the situation Is that socialism
has gained such headway lu Germany
that it is able to exert n tremendous
Influence upon tlie government , even to
tlie extent of compelling a radical
change In the ministry. Tlie question
that naturally suggests Itself Is. what
is to be the future of this power In the
political affairs of the German empire ?
Will It decline or continue to grow ?
We .should , ay tlmt tlie probabilities are
In favor of Us growth. The socialists
will bo rather encouraged and stimu
lated than otherwise by the confession
oC their influence Implied in the resigna
tion of Caprivl , and may bp expected
1o urge their doctrines with greater
vigor ( Iran over. There is strong reason
to believe that ISmperor William bus
made a mistake.
AKl-'KSfMKRTS.
Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt
offers some very cogent arguments in
favor of an extension of the classified
service : > s : i means of protecting em
ployes of the government against polit
ical assessments. lie says the necessity
for such extension becomes more appar
ent with every election. Persons not in
the classified service are forced under
throats of dismissal to contribute to
campaign funds , this sort of thing ,
which the commissioner characterizes
Jts blackmail , having been freely prac
ticed In portions of tlie country in the
present campaign. A Philadelphia paper
recently published a cartoon illustrating
the way the practice was carried oti at
the mint in tlmt city , and the civil ser
vice commission has n number of cases
under consideration of assessments that
have been made on persons in the classi
fied service , although the law Is In
tended to protect such. Mr. Roosevelt
refers to n particularly aggravated in
stance of this practice at I'lttsburg ,
whore a candidate for ofllce sought to
levy a political assessment amounting tea
a month's salary upon the employes of
the internal .revenue service , nnd he
states that similar efforts have been
made to assess postolllcc employes , no
regard being had for the political atllila-
tlons of the employes.
The commissioner denounces this
method of obtaining money In unmeas
ured terms , declaring it to be "a mere
[ ilece of blagkmuil and just as if gained
by knocking down clerks on the high
way , " and ho snys It Is hard to under
stand why an Intelligent community
will tolerate so gross an abuse , where
a man deliberately plunders a set of
public servants that he may get funds
wherewith to debauch voters. But tlio
community can do nothing to ahlidd the
victims. It can show ita disapproval of
such a practice only by defeating the
men who- resort to It , and this ought
lo be donoilti pvery case where Hie facts
nrc known1 , sjj far as employes of the
government ) u the classified service arc
concerned , the law gives them snlllclcni
protectionJf Uie heads of departments
nnd bureaus will sustain them In refus
ing to be ijhtnilered , and tlie same con
sideration should be shown to those In
Hie unclassified service. The purpose of
the law Is/tQ 'shield every man In the
public seuvlco from political assess
ments. The right of persons lo wake
political cdlilrltmtloiiR Is not denied , but
they should be voluntary. It Is very
easy to understand , however , tlmt If
government employes may bo naked to
make contributions , and Attorney General -
oral Olney has ruled that this doen not
violate the law , very few of. them will be
disposed to refuse , for they will natur
ally regard such n solicitation as having
all the significance of a demand.
Mr. Roosevelt thinks that the law Is
not strong enough. Ho suggests tlmt It
ought to prohibit any one from making
a contribution to a government oillcial.
Certainly experience with , the law ap
pears to conclusively show Hint It does
not afford tlie protection to Iho em
ployes of tlie government It was in
tended to , but this Is probably in largo
degree tlio fault of tlie superior oliielals ,
who cannot be relied upon to stand by
subordinates who may insist upon their
right under the law to refuse to con
tribute to campaign funds , If the higher
ofllcials would do their whole duly In
the matter there can be little doubt that
tlio political assessment practice would
cease.
STOP THAT FUOLISIINKSS.
Why should any retail merchant ,
manufacturer , properly owner or em
ployer of labor lend his support to the
candidacy of Thomas J. Majors ? The
great mass of people in this vicinity are
opposed lo Majors and repudiate the
calamity crusade Inaugurated by the
bankers nnd jobbers. The merchants
of Omaha should and many of thorn do
repudiate the much-vaunted business
men's save-tlio-stale movement , which
has already worked greater injury to
the Interests of our jobbers and whole
sale merchants than they can possibly
repair in six months hard work after
the election.
The movement was an Ill-advised
scheme upon tlie part of tlie railroads
and certain interests that arc closely
allied with them to foist a man Into Hie
governor's chair who will do their bid
ding. The hue and cry about the
credit of the sfiite being impaired by Hie
election of 111 honest man is too pre
posterous require refutation. Quite
the contrary , an honest man will re
store the credit of the state by enforc
ing the laws and protecting the state
treasury and Hie state's Interests.
The election pf a boodle man or a
man who 1st closely associated with pub
lic plunderers , ' contractors and state
house rings will ] impair the credit of the
stale by making necessaiT largely in
creased taxation. Now , Omaha pays fully
one-tenth of the entire slate tax. No com
munity of property owners is more
deeply coricqrmn.'In ; . plugging up the
leaks tliini is .Omaha.
By all means repudiate ( he business
men's movement' and let the people , of
the city and state do their voting ac
cording to their honest convictions.
The awful holocaust at Seattle , In
which the lives of .sixteen persons , men ,
women and children , were sairiliced , will
draw momentary attention to the dan
ger from fire that surrounds so many
of our hotels and boarding houses. In
this case tlie building is described as
a mere wooden shell , coated with sheet
iron. Itelng patronized by the cheaper
class of transients , it was Jiot subjected
to as vigorous Inspection as It would
hud It boon either an apartment build
ing or a first-class hotel. It is acknowl
edged , however , that the gucats liter
ally took their lives in. their hands
when entrusting theins Ive to Its mercy.
The lesson is the old cue that every
structure of this character should be
supplied with every possible device that
will make it less dangerous to life in
wise of lire. Hut the lesson , It is to bu
feared , will not be widely learned.

He speaks or the special advantage which

Is that It can double the distance In a day

The majority who withheld themselves from advertising themselves as members of the Railroad Business Men's association are increasing in number every day.
The organ of the Railroad Business Men's association is saturated and swollen as a result of the pre-election winds of Saturday. This is a suggestive omen.
Tom Reed has turned his back on Nebraska. His presence in this state in the face of the contingent fraud report would have been a source of mortification to republicans.
The attempt to lift it above W. Nye, republican candidate for the senate, should be rescinded by republicans. Mr. Nye is a clean man and merits the confidence and support of all republicans.
The two columns in the Daily News that have not been occupied by the republican-publican state committee present road-building matter much more interesting than any of the literature sent out from the headquarters of the tattooed candidate.
Attention is directed to the record of the auditor's office, under the management of Hon. Eugene Moore. It is certainly a record to which Mr. Moore can point with pride, and entitles him to the usual recognition which faithful services have received at the hands of the people.
The students of Creighton College seem to have rather confused the Nebraska statesmen. They enthused the other day over Church Howe instead of over Tom Majors. But, as these two eminent republicans are as Siamese twins, the misconception will not entail any serious disaster.
John W. Johnson, candidate on the republican ticket for the lower house, is a lawyer in good standing and comes highly endorsed by those who have come in contact with him. He has been an active republican since his advent in Omaha and should receive the undivided support of his party.
Ex-Secretary Whitney courageously admits that the financial depression is not to be laid at the doors of republican tariff legislation, all that his democratic associates are saying to the contrary notwithstanding. Give the democracy time and it is possible that she may come to her senses at the last.
Some of the associates of Tattooed Tom are wondering why it is that none of the "space engaged by the republican state committee" is devoted to candidates on the republican ticket other than the candidate for governor. They are only now becoming aware that they have been had for a one-star show.
Comparison is invited of the foreign news service of the Sunday Bee with that of would-be competitors. All the momentous questions that are uppermost in the public mind in European centers were treated fully and intelligently. To keep abreast of the news of the world, the people must read The Bee.
A word of vindication from Thomas B. Reed would have been more convincing to the voters of Nebraska than two columns of personal vitriol from the contingent candidate for governor, or a whole page of puerile vaporings from the poor old Royal Bengal who is growling at so much a growl in the Burlington menagerie.
Mr. Majors says he was vindicated two years ago. How about that over draft of his salary contingent that the statute of limitations also runs against the fraud investigators by him on the state when he collected $118.80 mileage for 1882 and $128 for 1883 when he was only entitled to mileage from Kearney to Lincoln and back 140 miles, which, at 10 cents a mile, amounts to just $40.00.
This is a small matter, but like the case of Taylor's vouchers, it shows honest Tom up in his true light.
Case
So, judge Holcomb is a mortgage shark and usurer, is he? Who made this charge and why is it made on the very eve of election? If it is true, why was it not made two years ago when the railroad and corporation combine were working tooth and toe nail to defeat him? If the story is true, it is very strange that it should emanate from the office of a mortgage shark and usurer in Fremont, and it is passing strange that all the mortgage sharks and 1 percent a month gougers should all fall in with the Fremont three-ball patriot. Ordinarily men of that ilk would prefer to have a man in the governor's chair who has been in the business himself, and would naturally oppose any serious attempt to interfere with their vocation. Evidently the mortgage sharks have more confidence in Tom Majors else they would not have trumped up the Custer county canard. Anything to beat Holcomb in their song, and the means justifies the end, their motto. They have ransacked heavens and earth to find something against Holcomb. They spent months in their search for an affidavit that would fell him, but failing in all these efforts, they had to fall back upon a story that exposes their own methods of keeping up the credit of the state. As a matter of fact, it is common for lawyers to draw up chattel mortgage papers for their clients, and the fact that a mortgage is in the handwriting of any lawyer, even when made payable to him, is no proof that the transaction was for his benefit.
It is manifest to every rational person that the charges of usury against Judge Holcomb were fabricated for campaign use, and the few mortgage fragments were ingeniously fabricated with a view to imposing upon popular credulity on the eve of election, when it would be difficult to reach the mass of voters with contradictions. It is not likely, however, that the imposture will deter any rational voter who desires good government from supporting Judge Holcomb.
Any man who might be inclined to give credence to the mortgage canard would think twice before he would give preference to Majors with his indefensible record over a clean man like Judge Holcomb.
The public declaration of Premier Hosier, that the leading question in the next general election in Great Britain would be the abolition of the House of Lords, is unquestionably the most important political announcement that has been made in the United Kingdom for years. There can be no doubt as to the absolute earnestness and sincerity of Lord Hosier in making this declaration. It is not the outcome of a hasty conclusion or a sudden impulse. The premier has considered the question carefully and deliberately. He has felt public opinion on the subject. He has undoubtedly consulted with the peers themselves. And as a result, he has reached the conclusion that the time has come for putting to the test of public opinion the question whether the hereditary branch of the legislative power of the nation should be longer maintained. It will be remembered that Mr. Gladstone, just before his withdrawal from public life, warned the House of Lords that its time of trial before the tribunal of the people could not be much longer delayed, but it was apprehended that his successor, himself a peer, would not be disposed to advocate or even to countenance any movement looking to the abolition of the House of Lords. His speech at Bradford shows that there was no reason for such fear.
By this declaration, the question is given paramount importance in British politics. It will take precedence of every other subject, and it is hardly necessary to say that it will cause one of the most vigorous and bitter contests ever known in the politics of the United Kingdom. The peers will not surrender their power without a most determined fight to retain it, for there is involved the essential principle of the British political system. The House of Lords is the bulwark of the monarchy. Destroy that and the way is open for the institution of a republican system of government. As to what the popular verdict will be on this question, there is little reason to doubt that it will be largely in favor of abolishing the Lords, and yet tradition is still strong with the English people. If Hosier shall succeed in the policy he has deemed his, his name will figure among the greatest of British statesmen.
The balloting for United States senator in the joint session of the Georgia legislature does not commence until next week Tuesday, but already the preliminary skirmishing between the ambitious aspirants is assuming an interesting phase. There are two elections to be held, one for the unexpired term made vacant by the death of the late Senator Colquitt, which, however, extends only through the short session of congress that ends in March 1885, and the other for the full term, to follow this unexpired portion. For the first term there will be no contest, for the reason that it is not considered a big enough prize to contest for. Senator Pitcher Walsh, who was given the appointment by Governor Northen when Speaker Crisp declined the honor, will be permitted to serve through the Fifty-third congress unmolested.
For the long term the struggle is to be hotly waged. The new senator will, of course, be a democrat; because the democrats have an overwhelming majority in the legislature, but still the populists are so strong that it has been deemed advisable by the democratic leaders to resort to the caucus, a plan that has not been followed in Georgia for many years. While there are four avowed candidates, the choice has narrowed down to two, Colonel A.O. Bacon and Congressman Turner. Congressman Turner is the administration candidate, and the federal forces are leaving nothing undone to assist him in his canvas. Colonel Bacon, therefore, poses as the anti-administration candidate, and, according to best accounts, is considerably in the lead despite the hostile influence from Washington. Senator Walsh is also a candidate, but all agree that he is practically out of the race. The caucus will most probably be held this week, so that its decision may be promptly ratified when the legislative houses meet in joint session.
It is quite possible, however, that a complication may ensue, out of which Speaker Crisp may emerge as a successful dark horse. The speaker last week publicly announced his refusal to stand as a candidate, alleging as the reason that he is confident that the next house of representatives will be democratic and will need his services as its presiding officer. Were his expectations in this direction disappointed, he would doubtless be glad to give reign to his well-known ambition for the senate. It so happens that the election of senator by the Georgia legislature and the general elections throughout the United States are fixed for the same day. If the former could be held off until after the news of the coming republican victory should be confirmed, Speaker Crisp would certainly be among the competitors in the senatorial lists.
To those who have given close attention to the course of political events in Germany during the past two years, the resignation of Chancellor von Caprivi will not cause surprise. It has been likely to happen at almost any time since the socialist question has been a matter of serious discussion under the regime of the present emperor. The policy of the kaiser has been peculiar. He does not favor socialism, and yet his course has been rather to encourage the growth of socialistic ideas. An experimenter in the affairs of government, the young emperor has talked on almost every occasion in a way to stimulate socialism, probably without intending to do so. The firm policy of Bismarck with respect to this political system was rejected by the sovereign. The retirement of that great statesman from public life was due to this. His successor, General von Caprivi, was appointed because his sentiments were known to be more liberal. He did not favor the doctrines of socialism, but on the other hand, he did not believe in extreme repressive measures. Under the rule of Bismarck, socialism did not make much headway. After he retired, it assumed fresh activity and made rapid progress.
With the growth of the socialistic idea, there was developed the spirit of anarchy. It may be contended that there is legitimately no connection between these doctrines, but the fact remains that in Germany, at least, socialism seems to have generated anarchy. With the development of the latter came the necessity, in the estimation of the Imperial authority, for repressive measures that would reach out to the socialists. It was at this point that the issue was made between the emperor and the chancellor. Caprivi did not believe in a policy intended to crush socialism. He had no sympathy with anarchy, but he did not think it necessary to strike at the socialists in order to reach the anarchists. His idea was that if the former were given the freedom they asked for, they would in time work their own destruction. This view was not acceptable to the emperor and to others whose counsel he sought, and when the conference of ministers decided against the chancellor, his only course was to resign.
The event has naturally created some excitement in the political circles of the German empire, but there is nothing in the nature of a crisis. The prompt appointment of a successor to Caprivi shows that the emperor had been expecting what has taken place and was fully prepared to set. The important fact in the situation is that socialism has gained such headway in Germany that it is able to exert a tremendous influence upon the government, even to the extent of compelling a radical change in the ministry. The question that naturally suggests itself is, what is to be the future of this power in the political affairs of the German empire? Will it decline or continue to grow? We should say that the probabilities are in favor of its growth. The socialists will be rather encouraged and stimulated than otherwise by the confession of their influence implied in the resignation of Caprivi, and may be expected to urge their doctrines with greater vigor from now on. There is strong reason to believe that Emperor William has made a mistake.
AKS-FAKTERS.
Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt offers some very cogent arguments in favor of an extension of the classified service as means of protecting employees of the government against political assessments. He says the necessity for such extension becomes more apparent with every election. Persons not in the classified service are forced under threats of dismissal to contribute to campaign funds, this sort of thing, which the commissioner characterizes as blackmail, having been freely practiced in portions of the country in the present campaign. A Philadelphia paper recently published a cartoon illustrating the way the practice was carried on at the mint in that city, and the civil service commission has a number of cases under consideration of assessments that have been made on persons in the classified service, although the law is intended to protect such. Mr. Roosevelt refers to a particularly aggravated instance of this practice at Pittsburgh, where a candidate for office sought to levy a political assessment amounting to a month's salary upon the employees of the internal revenue service, and he states that similar efforts have been made to assess postal employees, no regard being had for the political affiliations of the employees.
The commissioner denounces this method of obtaining money in unmeasured terms, declaring it to be "a mere act of blackmail and just as if gained by knocking down clerks on the highway," and he says it is hard to understand why an intelligent community will tolerate such a gross abuse, where a man deliberately plunders a set of public servants that he may get funds with which to debauch voters. But the community can do nothing to alleviate the victims. It can show its disapproval of such a practice only by defeating the men who resort to it, and this ought to be done in every case where the facts are known, so far as employees of the government in the classified service are concerned, the law gives them sufficient protection; if the heads of departments and bureaus will sustain them in refusing to be subject to blackmail, and the same consideration should be shown to those in the unclassified service. The purpose of the law is to shield every man in the public service from political assessments. The right of persons to make political contributions is not denied, but they should be voluntary. It is very easy to understand, however, that if government employees may be asked to make contributions, and Attorney General Olney has ruled that this does not violate the law, very few of them will be disposed to refuse, for they will naturally regard such a solicitation as having all the significance of a demand.
Mr. Roosevelt thinks that the law is not strong enough. He suggests that it ought to prohibit anyone from making a contribution to a government official. Certainly experience with the law appears to conclusively show that it does not afford the protection to the employees of the government it was intended to, but this is probably in large degree the fault of the superior officials, who cannot be relied upon to stand by subordinates who may insist upon their right under the law to refuse to contribute to campaign funds, if the higher officials would do their whole duty in the matter there can be little doubt that the political assessment practice would cease.
STOP THAT FOLISHNESS.
Why should any retail merchant, manufacturer, property owner or employer of labor lend his support to the candidacy of Thomas J. Majors? The great mass of people in this vicinity are opposed to Majors and repudiate the calamity crusade inaugurated by the bankers and jobbers. The merchants of Omaha should and many of them do repudiate the much-vaunted business men's save-the-state movement, which has already worked greater injury to the interests of our jobbers and wholesale merchants than they can possibly repair in six months of hard work after the election.
The movement was an ill-advised scheme upon the part of the railroads and certain interests that are closely allied with them to foist a man into the governor's chair who will do their bidding. The hue and cry about the credit of the state being impaired by the election of an honest man is too preposterous to require refutation. Quite the contrary, an honest man will restore the credit of the state by enforcing the laws and protecting the state treasury and the state's interests.
The election of a boodle man or a man who is closely associated with public plunderers, contractors and state house rings will impair the credit of the state by making necessary largely increased taxation. Now, Omaha pays fully one-tenth of the entire state tax. No community of property owners is more deeply concerned with plugging up the leaks than is Omaha.
By all means repudiate the business men's movement and let the people of the city and state do their voting according to their honest convictions. The awful holocaust at Seattle, in which the lives of sixteen persons, men, women and children, were sacrificed, will draw momentary attention to the danger from fire that surrounds so many of our hotels and boarding houses. In this case, the building is described as a mere wooden shell, coated with sheet iron. Being patronized by the cheaper class of transients, it was not subjected to as vigorous inspection as it would have been either an apartment building or a first-class hotel. It is acknowledged, however, that the guests literally took their lives in their hands when entrusting themselves to its mercy.
The lesson is the old one that every structure of this character should be supplied with every possible device that will make it less dangerous to life and limb in the wise of fire. But the lesson, it is to be feared, will not be widely learned.
Hoke Smith's trip to Georgia in order to inculcate among the people of his state the doctrines of sound money and true finance was not in vain. The Georgia legislature has just refused to consider a resolution declaring for free silver at 16 to 1 and condemning their representatives in Congress who voted for the repeal of the silver purchase clause of the Sherman law. The adoption of such a resolution would have been equivalent to a vote of censure on the administration of President Cleveland and would have been a source of everlasting mortification for the man who had been summoned from Georgia to occupy a place in his cabinet. Under the circumstances, Hoke will be permitted to hold his job a little longer.
Mr. Morton's, home organ has suddenly discovered that Judge Holcomb is a very, very blind man and that Toby Castor's stray minnow, Pete Sturdevant, is a truly good democrat whom every square-toed missback should vote for. Nothing else was to have been expected from that quarter. But democrats who are neither deaf nor blind will doubtless realize that the two votes for Sturdevant are as good, or one vote for Majors.
On the meeting place of the annual convention of the Switchmen's Union of North America in October, 1893. This is the national organization of switchmen which has just been perfected at Kansas City as the successor to the old Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association. The plan of the new union is practically the same as the old association, the members being entitled to weekly sick benefits in time of need. The headquarters were fixed at Kansas City, but Omaha secured the first convention. It goes without saying that the switchmen will be accorded a hearty welcome and appropriate entertainment when they become the guests of this city.
The Bee is a republican newspaper and reputable republicans never have had and never will have any difficulty in securing its support without pay and without promise of reward. This is true in the present campaign, as it has been in past campaigns. The Bee heartily endorses republican candidates whom it could endorse without self-stultification, but it cannot and will not lend itself to forging the links of corporate holidays upon the people, or assist public plunderers and jobbers because they are sailing under the republican flag.
From the pen of Secretary Carlisle, when he wrote the schedule elevating the Sugar Trust the protection it demanded, he put himself in opposition to the honest democrats of the country, and if he ever to reinstate himself in their good opinion, he must be by a return to their principles, not by the peanut methods of pot-house politics.

Former President Harrison knows how to make a speech, stretching from the shoulder, and his hearers know that he is not repeating extracts from textbooks on political economy or parroting paragraphs from the Congressional Record. It is well for managers on the opposite side to remember that there is no greater mistake than underestimating the strength of the enemy.
There should be no hesitation in employing troops to suppress the lawless hands in the Indian Territory if it cannot be done by the civil authorities. Lawlessness has prevailed in that territory for a long time and to a disgraceful degree. It seems, however, that it is growing worse, and that the need of suppressing it has become so urgent that there will be no excuse for the authorities if they do not do their utmost to put it down.
"You are a republican, we are democrats, but you enter this fight, not as a partisan leader, but as the champion of all honest citizens against the hordes of corruption," said Chairman Green of the New York state democracy committee in tendering to Colonel Strong the mayoralty nomination of that body of citizens. The sentiments expressed by Mr. Green should be emblazoned on the banners of all bands of citizens bent upon municipal reform.
It is evident that Mr. Haywood has come home to "whoop up" the cause of free trade and inflame the American heart with admiration for England and Englishmen. His heart has been turned by the attentions bestowed upon him as an avowed advocate of free trade, and he has essayed the unpatriotic task of convincing the American people that they ought to sacrifice their own interests to those of the great and good, undisturbed friend, John Bull. From present indications, the people are not likely to be convinced.
In his annual report as commander of the Army of the Colorado, General McCook makes a strong plea for the use of the bicycle in the army. Most of the European armies have adapted it for certain of their forces, and the commander believes that, as a substitute for the horse, for the men engaged in signaling and the duties of telegraph and keeping communication open, the bicycle is "an eminent success." He speaks of the special advantage which it possesses, not the least important of which is that it can double the distance in a day that a horse can. Doubtless the bicycle is destined to play a more conspicuous part than it heretofore has in the matter of business service. What will help its introduction for ordinary and special purposes is the agitation for good roads, which is receiving great attention at present, but nothing like as much as it deserves. It does not seem likely that the wheel will be of direct advantage in actual fighting, although in an indirect way it may prove of incalculable benefit.

HYMN OF CIVILIZATION.

See the foolish heathen.
Bearing rings in his nose;
Not a notion has he
Of good shoddy clothes.
Catch him and reform him,
Take him from his hand;
If he kicks, call out the troops
And strew him on the strand.
Onward, Christian soldiers,
With your Maxim guns;
Thousand shots a minute,
How the heathen run!

If Holly's eyes would shine for me,
I'd give the sun fair warning,
He needn't rise to light my skin;
Because the beauty of Holly's eyes
Would make my morning.
If Holly's lips were red for me,
In weather sad or sunny,
I'd say to every buzzing bee:
"You needn't rob the rose for me;
Her lips are honey!"
If Holly's heart would beat for me
So low I just could hear it,
I'd give the world, at least, my port-
For just the beat of Holly's heart,
And my heart near it!

A JOLLY SPECTACLE.
Chicago Record: So far from being romantic, the present fate of Princess Alix is peculiarly prosaic and even squalid in the vulgarity of its details. Betrothed to the czarevitch as a matter of political necessity, she has been from the first the least consulted of all the parties to the transaction. To be sent in this wise from her home to Russia were bad enough, even were she sure of greeting by a willing lover. But there is plenty of reason to believe that the czarevitch is not only indifferent, but has even placed his affections elsewhere.
Kansas City Star: The thought cannot be suppressed that she (Princess Alix) has left the happiest days of her life behind her. There can be little for her in the future but anxiety and fear, which will not be modified by the splendor of her Imperial station. She has journeyed to Livadia to receive the blessing of a monarch who is going down to an early grave because his burdens were greater than he could bear, and to become the wife of the royal heir who is to assume the grave responsibilities which crushed his father. The simplest and humblest bride who goes forth today under the sweet sunshine of freedom's favor and is happier by far, and is more to be envied than the woman who is to share the throne of the greatest empire on the globe.
Chicago Herald: Princess Alix of Hesse has been taken to Livadia, where, in the presence of a moribund sovereign, she has been betrothed to an unwilling bridegroom, already known to live in the marriage relation and to be the father of children, by another wife. The marriage is one of the regulation royal contracts. The Circassian slave dealer that presents his veiled captives in the market performs his brutal work in his oriental and "pagan" way. These "royal" parents, "Christians," barter off sons and daughters with equal brutality in their way. Rather than lose his right to the crown of Russia, the son of the emperor breaks his vows to another woman, stigmatizes his own children, and sets to the young men of his country an example of licentiousness they will not fail to make the most of.

The Plain for Marketing.
New York Sun.
The experiments made by Kansas farmers this year in the feeding of their surplus wheat to cattle, hogs, and fowl raised for the market have been very successful, according to a report of the Kansas Board of Agriculture. It is more profitable for them to use their wheat thus than to sell it at the prevailing low prices, which are not likely to advance soon to the desirable notch of it a bushel.
There has been a great cry in the south for several years, "Diversify the crops," and it has had some influence upon many of the southern planters and farmers. The Kansas way of diversifying the crops, which has been takingly adopted this year, is somewhat of a novelty there. If there is a better market for the cattle, hog, and chicken crop than for the wheat or corn crop, the Kansas farmers are acting sensibly in taking advantage of it.

A correspondent asks the Eagle how can the poetical or non-poetical character of verse be determined? By turning the statement made by the verse into prose form. If it retains the poetical quality, the mind will recognize it. Thus, the miracle of the changing of water into wine has been expressed: "The conscious water saw the God and blushed." That is manifestly poetical, while Papa's

The Kicat mines of Hatllo mountain and
tlnxcn lilll vrcro among the first Important
til seen cries and contain some ot the richest
mines ot tlie district. On Haven lilll the
tnt.ice of note occupy the southern elope.
ThrouKh the two or three years of discovery
end development In this section lltllo atten
tion him been paid to the possibilities at the
oi th sideof Haven hill. True , all the ground
lm been located and some patcutB obtained.
AnutiB Iho patents were the throe claims
ot the Enterprise Mining company ol Colorado
rado Springs. This property Is situated
nbout two mllPS southeast ot Cripple Creole
nnd the claims adjoin each other , stretching
JiorUont.illy along the base ol the mountain ,
beginning at the gulch ,
l.efcs than n month ago a lad ot 1C year * ,
the son of a Swede tcamMcr , says the Denver
nrimtis-Star. tthlle passing o\er the ground of
the middle claim picked up a plcco of float
Which struck hlu fancy as somuthlng good. Ho
fcegan to dig and unearthoJ n-cullar kinds of
rock nt the surface , which , when sent by Ma
lather to Charlie Heuter of Pueblo , gave an
fissay return of $2,000 to the ton. When
Ihe result was * houn a combination was
lorracd , consIsiltiK of the Swede teamster and
Ills partner , the boy , Charlie neuter. W. H.
fiwceiiey and Hun T. llrooks. A two years'
leasu on the property was secured , each of
the parlies named bavins a sixth Interest In
the results of development. Operations began
n llttlo over two weeks ago , and the llrst
Ony proved to the lessees that they had
Struck an unoimous fortune. Prom the
very surfucc , " as far as the de
velopment has proceeded , the rock
la a fi.icturod , clouded tjuarti , every
bcparato piece' being densely Impregnated
with gol.l , much of It visible to the naked
eye. Acooidlng lo account * given of first
transactions $2,000 was the sum Involved
In securing the property , and this sum
the priupeet hole returned to the lessees
the second il.iy of uork. With the progress
ot deve ! > prnenl thseln of three feet has
widened , iiul continues to grow richer. It
is too ( .jrly lo determine a permanent
average. Thus far six car loads have been
chipped , and the last car averaged the enor
mous amount ot eighty-three ounces of gold
to Itio ton , Alter two weeks' actual
development It Is estimated that , with the
limited possibilities ot operation , the yield
.will not bs less tliun $1.000 a day to each
of the one-sixth Interests. The boy has
refused $1GO.OOO for Ills one-sixth Interest ,
This claim Is Iho great Dolly Varden.
What Ita possibilities arc no one can con
ceive It I * pronounced a true flssure vein
nnd It runs across the famous Moose. Doubt
less It Is one of the great veins that run en
tirely through Haven mountain. It Is the
great sensation ot the entire district and
attracts hundreds of spectators every day
from all the towns , while It has also set
Bcorea of men a-dlgglng all over the mountain
Bide In search of this or other veins believed
lo be equally rich. Mining men unhesitat
ingly declare this vein contains millions of
tlolUirj.
Hut this discovery Is not all. Since these
rreal re uits have been attained Kennedy ,
hlcKnlght & Co. have struck the Dolly
, Vnrilen vein below nnd are now being con-
era'u'.ated as prospective bonanza kings.
However , they are keeping cool and waiting
for Ilia proof ot development.
Th 3 great discovery leads naturally to the
rellfotlon that upon every lilll where rich
dlv ivcrles have been made , with thousands
of i.rcjpccts throughout the camp yet to be
opened and explored , the history ot mining
Iiere for many years to come will bo a suc-

H01SE Rivnit PLACERS.
R S. Wooden , who Is largely Interested In
placer and quartz mires on the middle fork
of the llolso river , has been spending a few
days In this city , says the noise Statesman.
Assays of ere from this ledge run $260 gold
nnd ninety ounces silver per ton. Mr.
\Vbodon Is very naturally greatly elated over
the discovery.
He thinks one of the leading mining camps
ot the state will In a few years bo located
on the middle fork of the Dolso. That the
Kold nnd silver , too , for that matter , Is there
li no longer any question. All that Is
needed now is development. A road Is highly
necessary , and at once , everything now hav
ing to bo packed In from the mouth of More
creek. .
Mr. Wooden has some very rich placer
minus near the quartz claim. Ha and his
partner , assisted a portion of the time by
another man , worked all spring and summer
on the placers. They spent almost three
weeks of that time building a ditch. It Is
understood they cleaned up $5,000.
A , Hlnkoy ot Namna washed five pans ot
gravel from the Wooden claim , The result
was brought to this city and weighed In the
Capital State bank. There uas found to be
Jl,70 , This was Mr. HInkey's first experience
In panning , ' and he probably lost anywhere
from 20 to 40 per cent of the gold.
Mr. Wooden will return to his claims soon ,
prepared to spend the winter developing his
quartz claim.
UTAH KAJLIIOADS.
Utah railroads contlniio to cor no thick nnd
fast. The latest development Is the Incor
poration of a company at Los Angeles , with
Salt Lake City as the objective point. It Is
believed , the Salt Lake Trlbuno says , that
this Is n consummation of the plans of the
Los Angelea Terminal company , -which has
expended over tl.000,000 In the Improvement
o' ( terminal facilities nt Los Angeles and San
I'cdro harbor. The Information concerning
the Incorporation Is conveyed by an Associ
ated press dispatch , as follows :
LOS ANGELES. Cal. , Oct. 18. Articles
ot Incorporation of the Los Ange
les. San Francisco & Salt Lake Railway com
pany hnv8 been filed , the capital stock being
? 12,000.000. The road Is to run from Los
Angeles toward Salt Lake. Utah , through
the counties ot Los Angeles , San Ilernardlno ,
Inyo , Kern , Tulare. Fresno , Merced , Stanls-
laui. San Joaquln , Santo. Clara and Alameda ,
In speaking of the railway project Mr. C.
O. llaxter of St. Louis , who Is connected with
the Gllson Asphaltum company and also
with the projected railroad line from Cre
vasse , Cole , , to the aiphaltum fields of the
Uncompahgre reservation , stated to a Tribune
representative lhat there was no foundation
for tha press reports to the effect that con
struction work was about to commence. Ex
perimental lines are being run , and tha field
lg being looked over In a preliminary way ,
for the purpose ot ascertaining the feasibil
ity of such a road and the probable cost.
The company will then probably wait until
the Uncompahgre reservation Is thrown
open before commencing operations ,
and It may bs two years beforeIt Is opened.
In speaking of the resources of the coun
try that would be reached by this line , Mr.
Baxter said the Idea that the Uncompahgre
reservation was a barren d&sert country
was a great mistake. There are raat tracts
of fertlla lands that may be brought under
cultivation , but It will require considerable
capital to establish Irrigation systems.
The Gibson company Is not shipping a
great deal of aephaltum at present , us the
Industry Is handicapped by the great cost of
transportation , the mines being situated
nlnet/ miles from the railroad.

edge they were looking for without knowing
It. Jlattorn and Sackett found a five-foot
Ilssure , and In their prospect drift upon It
have taken out considerable * pay rock. They
jiont four and a lialf tons of the ore to the
Selby smelter at San Francisco , and their re

of the claims , but they are Colorado miners
and claim that the prospects are Bupwlo
to anything they ever saw around Pike's
Peak. They declare that ths Tvnole region
around Lake Ohop , and In fact overywher
about Mount Tacoma , is wonderfully rich In

Colony Northstreamer Nevri.
The Beach mines of Hattlo mountain and
the nearby hills were among the first Important
ties seen and contain some of the richest
mines of the district. On Haven Hill the
notice of note occupy the southern slope.
Through the two or three years of discovery
and development in this section little attention
has been paid to the possibilities on the side
of Haven Hill. True, all the ground
has been located and some patents obtained.
Among the patents were the three claims
of the Enterprise Mining Company of Colorado
Springs. This property is situated
about two miles southeast of Cripple Creek
and the claims adjoin each other, stretching
generally along the base of the mountain,
beginning at the gulch.
Less than a month ago, a lad of 16 years,
the son of a Swedish teamster, says the Denver
Daily Star. While passing over the ground of
the middle claim, picked up a piece of float
Which struck his fancy as something good. He
began to dig and unearthed various kinds of
rock at the surface, which, when sent by his
father to Charlie Heeter of Pueblo, gave an
fissay return of $2,000 to the ton. When
the result was known, a combination was
formed, consisting of the Swedish teamster and
his partner, the boy, Charlie Heeter, W. H.
Sawcey and John T. Brooks. A two years'
lease on the property was secured, each of
the parties named having a sixth interest in
the results of development. Operations began
in little over two weeks ago, and the first
day proved to the lessees that they had
struck an unanimous fortune. From the
very surface, "as far as the development has proceeded, the rock
is a figured, clouded quart, every
separate piece being densely impregnated
with gold, much of it visible to the naked
eye. According to accounts given of the first
transactions $2,000 was the sum involved
in securing the property, and this sum
the principle hole returned to the lessees
the second day of work. With the progress
of development these inches of three feet has
widened, and continues to grow richer. It
is too early to determine a permanent
average. Thus far six car loads have been
chipped, and the last car averaged the enormous amount of eighty-three ounces of gold
to the ton. After two weeks' actual
development, it is estimated that, with the
limited possibilities of operation, the yield
will not be less than $1,000 a day to each
of the one-sixth interests. The boy has
refused $1,500,000 for his one-sixth interest,
This claim is the great Dolly Varden.
What its possibilities are no one can conceive. It
is pronounced a true fissure vein
and it runs across the famous Moose. Doubtless it is one of the great veins that run entirely through Haven mountain. It is the
great sensation of the entire district and
attracts hundreds of spectators every day
from all the towns, while it has also set
scores of men to digging all over the mountain
side in search of this or other veins believed
to be equally rich. Mining men unhesitatingly declare this vein contains millions of
tons.
But this discovery is not all. Since these
great results have been attained, Kennedy,
Hickman & Co. have struck the Dolly
Varden vein below and are now being considered as prospective bonanza kings.
However, they are keeping cool and waiting
for the proof of development.
The great discovery leads naturally to the
reflection that upon every hill where rich
diversified veins have been made, with thousands
of prospects throughout the camp yet to be
opened and explored, the history of mining
there for many years to come will be a succession of these marvelous finds, and there
is no telling what day the penniless prospector
may stumble upon the rocks that contain their millions.
HORSE RIVER PLACERS.
R. S. Wooden, who is largely interested in
placer and quartz mines on the middle fork
of the Horse river, has been spending a few
days in this city, says the Colorado Statesman.
Assays of ore from this ledge run $260 gold
and ninety ounces silver per ton. Mr.
Wooden is very naturally greatly elated over
the discovery.
He thinks one of the leading mining camps
of the state will in a few years be located
on the middle fork of the Horse. That the
gold and silver, too, for that matter, is there
is no longer any question. All that is
needed now is development. A road is highly
necessary, and at once, everything now has
to be packed in from the mouth of More
creek.
Mr. Wooden has some very rich placer
mines near the quartz claim. He and his
partner, assisted a portion of the time by
another man, worked all spring and summer
on the placers. They spent almost three
weeks of that time building a ditch. It is
understood they cleaned up $5,000.
A, Hinkle of Nome washed five pans of
gravel from the Wooden claim, The result
was brought to this city and weighed in the
Capital State bank. There was found to be
$770, This was Mr. Hinkle's first experience
in panning, and he probably lost anywhere
from 20 to 40 percent of the gold.
Mr. Wooden will return to his claims soon,
prepared to spend the winter developing his
quartz claim.
UTAH RAILROADS.
Utah railroads continue to grow thick and
fast. The latest development is the incorporation of a company at Los Angeles, with
Salt Lake City as the objective point. It is
believed, the Salt Lake Tribune says, that
this is a consummation of the plans of the
Los Angeles Terminal company, which has
expended over $1,000,000 in the improvement
of terminal facilities at Los Angeles and San
Pedro harbor. The information concerning
the incorporation is conveyed by an Associated press dispatch, as follows:
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 18. Articles
of Incorporation of the Los Angeles,
San Francisco & Salt Lake Railway company have been filed, the capital stock being
$12,000,000. The road is to run from Los
Angeles toward Salt Lake, Utah, through
the counties of Los Angeles, San Bernardino,
Inyo, Kern, Tulare, Fresno, Merced, Stanislaus,
San Joaquin, San Mateo, Alameda,
In speaking of the railway project Mr. C.
O. Baxter of St. Louis, who is connected with
the Gibson Asphaltum company and also
with the projected railroad line from Crevasse,
Cole, to the asphaltum fields of the
Uncompahgre reservation, stated to a Tribune
representative that there was no foundation
for the press reports to the effect that construction work was about to commence. Experimental lines are being run, and the field
is being looked over in a preliminary way,
for the purpose of ascertaining the feasibility of such a road and the probable cost.
The company will then probably wait until
the Uncompahgre reservation is thrown
open before commencing operations,
and it may be two years before it is opened.
In speaking of the resources of the country that would be reached by this line, Mr.
Baxter said the idea that the Uncompahgre
reservation was a barren desert country
was a great mistake. There are many tracts
of fertile lands that may be brought under
cultivation, but it will require considerable
capital to establish irrigation systems.
The Gibson company is not shipping a
great deal of asphaltum at present, as the
industry is handicapped by the great cost of
transportation, the mines being situated
nine miles from the railroad.
HIGH STRIKE AT TELLURIDE.
Another important producer has been added to the list by the strike made a few days ago on the Climax, one of the Flora group, in Savullo has been, says a Telluride special. The Denver News. For some time past, James Morrison and other, who have a three-years lease on the property, have had a double shift of men driving a crosscut to tap the climax vein, and when about 300 feet encountered it, which is even richer than the era of the noted Japan, of which well it is an extension. Where the vein was cut, era impregnated with free gold was found in a twelve-inch gold quartz streak, which runs ten ounces in gold per ton, associated with about the same number of inches of high-grade silver and lead ore. The strike is not only very gratifying to the lessees, but to the owners of adjoining property, the next governor of Nebraska.

"When I am elected, I propose to discharge my duty to the best of my ability, I will do everything that can be done to bring about a safe, economical, and conservative administration of the affairs of our state government and see to it that the faith and credit of the state are maintained," Judge Holcomb at Exposition hall, September 11.
LIEUT. GOV, MAJORS' PLAN.
Legislature of Nebraska, Twentieth Session, Senate File No. 77. A Bill for an Act to authorize counties, precincts, townships, or towns, cities, villages, and school districts to compromise their indebtedness and issue new bonds therefor. Introduced by T. J. Majors, January 13, 1887; read first time. Ordered to second reading January 14, 1887; read second time. Referred to Committee on Municipal Affairs. Sent to printer January 14, 1887.
Be it Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Nebraska:
SECTION 1, That any county, precinct, township, or town, city, village, or school district is hereby authorized and empowered to compromise its indebtedness in the manner hereinafter provided.
SEC. 2. Whenever the county commissioners of any county, the city council of any city, the board of trustees of any village, or the school board of any school district shall be satisfied by petition or otherwise that any such county, precinct, township, or town, city, village, or school district is unable to pay in full its indebtedness and that a majority of the taxpayers of such county, precinct, township, or town, city, village, or school district desires to compromise such indebtedness, they are hereby empowered to enter into negotiations with the holder or holders of any such indebtedness of whatever form for scaling, discontinuing, or compromising the same.
Note the word "otherwise."
Japan and Sultana, as the point where the intersection was made is much below any of their present workings and conclusively proves that the ore of the Japan not only retains its high-grade silver value, but that its gold value increases enormously with depth.
J. W. Beam, owner of the Japan, is shipping first-class ore steadily, which nets him handsome profit, as it runs from $80 to 100 in silver per ton and from $40 to $50 in gold. In the meantime, he has three shifts employed driving a cross-cut to tap the vein 110 feet below the present workings, which will be accomplished almost any day.
When this is done, an uptil will be driven to connect with the upper workings, which will open up the mine for an output second only to the Smuggler-Union. The force will be largely increased.
These three properties, Japan, Climax, and Sultana, promise to employ several hundred men in the near future and produce an output equal to the famous Smuggler Union and Sheridan.
OREGON MINERS IN LUCK.
Ashland is feeling particularly well over the latest mining strike, says the Portland Oregonian. Two practical miners, Mullen and Sackett, have been at work in a prospect tunnel, on land belonging to O. P. Billings, about a mile north of Ashland, a tunnel which was abandoned by an Ashland company last winter, after it had been driven more than 100 feet. The old company ran by the edge they were looking for without knowing it. Mullen and Sackett found a five-foot lode, and in their prospect drift upon it have taken out considerable pay rock. They sent four and a half tons of the ore to the Selby smelter at San Francisco, and their returns showed that it yielded, gross, about $1,600, and netted them here, above all charges, $1,290.93. They are believed to have a true fissure vein, and a valuable property.
GOLD AT LAKE CHOP.
Anson Jackson, Edward Jackson, R. M. Schotzken, and George Frassle think they have made discoveries of gold and silver quartz and iron ores in the vicinity of Lake Chop that will eventually give them fortunes and add immeasurably to the wealth of Pierce county, says the Tacoma Ledger. Already they have filed mining claims in the auditor's office. The locations are on sections 1 and 12, township 16, range 11 east.
The gentlemen were in the city and were very enthusiastic over their finds. Of course, they admit that development has not progressed far enough to reveal the true qualities of the claims, but they are Colorado miners and claim that the prospects are superb to anything they ever saw around Pike's Peak. They declare that the Tacoma region around Lake Chop, and in fact, everywhere about Mount Tacoma, is wonderfully rich in all kinds of minerals. They have spent the summer up there and propose to make it their permanent home. They have named Camp Jackson.
As soon as they go into the development a little more, they intend to enlist capital and push the work for all there is in it.
A COUGAR VISITS PORTLAND.
While Portlanders are inclined to boast of the progress and splendor of their great city and look back on the semi-barbarism of the old pioneer days as a faded reminiscence, sometimes a little incident crops out now and then to show that they are not yet wholly out of the woods, though people have ceased to shoot deer from the doorstep and decorate the walls of the smokehouse with couplings.
The other day the family of Captain W. A. Custer, whose residence is on Darnell Heights, were startled to see a mountain cougar at the front porch finishing its meal knowingly and coolly taking in the surroundings, then wandering away to the woods. It had no doubt satisfied its curiosity. When hungry, these powerful animals are both fierce and fearless, and will not hesitate to attack a human being. It was just as well, no doubt, that none of Captain Custer's children happened to be playing in the yard on this occasion.
The results of the census investigation of farm and home proprietorship in Colorado show, in regard to farms, that 16.91 percent of the farm families hire and 80. } } percent own the farms they cultivate; that 25.48 percent of the farm-owning families are subject to incumbrance, and 74.52 percent are free of incumbrance. Among 100 farm families, twenty hire their farms, twenty own with incumbrance, and sixty own without incumbrance. On the owned farms, there are liens amounting to $567,630, which is 32.29 percent of their value, and this debt bears interest at the average rate of 9.23 percent, making the average annual interest charge $131 to each family.
Each owned and encumbered farm, on the average, is worth $4,857, and is subject to a lien. The corresponding facts for homes are that 59.70 percent of the home families live and 40.30 percent own their homes; that of the home-owning families, 77.30 percent own free of incumbrances and 22.70 percent with incumbrances. In 100 home families, on the average, 60 hire their homes, own with incumbrance, and 31 without incumbrance. The debt on owned homes aggregates $9,424,117, or 77.70 percent of their value, and bears interest at the average rate of 8.61 percent, so that the amount of interest to each home averages $137. An average debt of $1,583 encumbers each home, which has the average value of $4,853.
There are three cities in the state in the classes of those having a population of 8,000 to 100,000, and in these cities 32.71 percent of the home families hire and 37.29 percent own their homes, and of the home-owning families 25.99 percent own with incumbrance and 74.01 percent own free of incumbrance. In 100 home families, on the average, are found sixty-three that hire their homes, ten that own with incumbrance and twenty-seven that own without incumbrance. The liens on the owned homes are 34.91 percent of the value of those subject to the lien. Several averages show that the rate of interest is 5.86 percent; value of each owned and encumbered home, $4,225; rent on same, $1,475, and yearly interest charge on each home, $131.
DUST OF ARIZONA.
Ed Wagoner has brought in $400 in gold dust taken from the Hacienda, Oak Creek, and lower Hassayampa, says a Prescott special to the Denver News. In addition to his placer claims, Mr. Wagoner owns and is developing the Recorder mine. At present, he is down but thirty feet and showed up a three-foot vein of ore, which assays $200 per ton in gold. Mill runs have produced $190 in gold.
In the Austin mine, Santa Maria district, the shaft is completed 100 feet, and a three-foot body of ore exposed, which runs $175 per ton, and five feet running from $7 to $30 per ton gold. The owners will soon begin making shipments of ore. The new railroad is now completed to within sixteen miles of Santa Maria.
B. Wagoner has made a new find at the bend of Castle Creek, which runs $60,000 per ton in gold.
R. H. Roberts has located a claim near the Castle Creek smelter. The ledge is four feet wide at the surface and the ore runs $42 per ton and is free milling.
J. F. Dillon has discovered the extension of the old Austin ledge, from which thirty years ago, over 1,000,000 was taken by the arrastra process. The new discovery is located twelve miles south of Prescott. The ore from the old Austin milled $30 per ton, and it is thought the new location will run fully as high.
CO-OPERATIVE FARMING.
The advance guard of the Alcoholics Anonymous conv has arrived here, and soon ground will be broken upon the land which they have secured for a settlement on Mark West Creek, about seven miles north of this city, says a Santa Rosa, Cal., special to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Almost 2,000 acres have been purchased in a fertile, well-wooded, well-watered locality. Much of the soil is already under cultivation, producing fruit, grapes, grain, and hay in abundance, consequently comparatively little labor needs to be done to prepare this "fraternal co-operative farm" for its occupants.
The government of the colony will be vested in a president, vice president, and an executive council, chosen from among the members. Each person will labor where his ability can be used to the best advantage. There will be no majesty, but the personal checks of the colonists will be used for business there. The pay for a day's work will be uniform, but a member having a harder or disagreeable task will be favored in a matter of hours of labor. Members desiring to go abroad may cash their checks for coin of the realm, but they will be always under the supervision of the council.
Obedience unquestioning will be exacted from all. Each worker in to have an equal share in the product of all the labor; private profit and special privileges are to be obtained, and all are to earn on the common work in a spirit of fraternity.
ARIZONA MINE.
A valuable strike has just been made by Arthur Lane, formerly of Aspen, says a Walker, Ariz., special to the Denver News. He has a lease and bond on eleven mines in the vicinity of Lynx Creek. One of them he sunk forty feet and had ore in the bottom fifteen inches wide that assays twenty-five ounces silver and three to four ounces gold. The water drove them out, as they could not handle it with a winch. He then started a tunnel to come in under the shaft and struck the vein fifty feet from the shaft. It has been followed twenty-seven feet. The ore averages two to four feet in width and assays from two to eight ounces gold and ten to fifteen ounces silver to the ton, besides twenty percent in lead.
THE DAKOTAS.
Port Sully is now virtually abandoned, troops having left to make future headquarters at Fort Niobrara, Neb.
Huron is experiencing the greatest religious revival in the history of the city. A midweek sabbath was last week observed.
The headquarters of the Dakota division of the Great Northern railroad, formerly at Larimore, N.D., have been removed to Grand Forks.
The Rawena quarries are running in full blast, about one hundred men are employed, and Superintendent McOrath expects to enlarge the force right along.
Die Nelson of the Nelson Milling company of Lisbon has recently returned from a business trip to England and Norway, where he made arrangements for the handling of the products of the Lisbon mill.
Work on the Four Mile gold property at Custer City still progresses. They expect soon to be able to make a run with the mill to determine the value of the ores. The mine is one of the best in the country.
Articles of Incorporation have been filed for the Consolidated Apex Mining company of Rapid City. Capital stock, $2,000,000.
Articles have also been filed for the Industrial Union, a new labor organization, with headquarters at Sioux Falls.
Sioux Falls has been made the defendant in two damage suits amounting to $8,500. One suit was instituted by W.P. Carr for $4,000, and the other by Julius Pfleffer for $1,500. These men claim that by the City constructing a viaduct and grade their property was depreciated and damaged to the amount sued for.
A movement is on foot at Aberdeen to organize a co-operative colony. The matter has been under discussion by the Populist club, and it is expected something definite will result in a short time. Among other suggestions offered is one that Columbia, S.D., be secured as the central city or village from which the commune would operate the surrounding lands.
The first textbook to be put out by one connected with the South Dakota State university has been placed in the hands of the printers at Vermillion. It is an analysis of the civil government of South Dakota and of the United States. The book will contain about 100 pages, and the matter includes much not found in other textbooks, taking, as it does, both the constitution and thecession laws as a basis of observation. In style, it is closely condensed, and the authors, Profs. Smith and Young, aim to make of it a textbook that will supersede the more heavily padded treatises.
The Industrial union which was organized at Sioux Falls last spring has grown to have a membership of over 100. Other unions have been started at neighboring towns, and now what is to be known as the Industrial union of South Dakota has been organized and the corporate papers filed at Pierre.
The state organizer appoints deputies for the work of organizing local unions over the state. The union holds weekly meetings for the discussion of social and political questions. The state union is calculated to be a bureau of information and will collect facts and figures of interest to its members. There is also a charitable and mutual benefit feature.
With regard to educational facilities, South Dakota takes a very forward place in the long list of states, and in a few years will have a school fund that will reach way up into the millions of dollars, only the interest on which can be used for the support of the public schools. Upon admission as a state, the government set apart 2,823,320 acres to be used for school purposes, and the state constitutional convention put a clause in the constitution that none of this land could be sold for less than $10 an acre. Upon investigation of the books in the office of the commissioner of school and public lands, it is found that up to date 147,492 acres have been sold for $1,792,480.

GOODMAN BLOOD CO., 1110 Farnam Street, Omaha.
Average for each owned and incumbered home: Incumbrance, $2,301; value, $6,014; interest charge for one year, $181; rate of interest, 7.07 percent. Homes are incumbered for 35.20 percent of their value.
The Centennial, Georgetown's gold producer, is described as looking better than ever. On the 600-foot level east, a body of ore eight feet wide is exposed running well in copper and gold and fairly well in silver. The same level west also has a two-foot streak of solid ore of the same value, which demonstrates that the deeper this mine is worked, the larger and more permanent the ore chute becomes.
A big strike was made on the Evening Star claim, which is located near the Black Joe tunnel, in the Balfour district. A well-defined vein four feet in width was found, which runs $572.83 gold and $392 silver. There is several tons of this mineral-bearing porphyry in sight and is certainly one of the biggest strikes in this district. The claim is owned by W. LC Wilkins. A 100-pound assay will be made immediately.
The first determined step to discover the great gold vein of Houns Peak has been taken this fall by the Ore Cache Tunnel company, capitalized at Des Moines, IA, for $500,000. The company has started operations to run a tunnel directly into the peak with the view of cross-cutting the enormously rich vein. The placer grounds about the mountain have been worked since 1840 and have yielded from $500,000 to $1,000,000, but all efforts to find the vein from which the precious mineral comes have been fruitless.

The Hammersley mine, in Jump-off-Joe district, continues to pay regular dividends, and is doubtless one of the best in the state. A chunk of gold, valued at over $1,400, was brought to the bank at Medford, being the result of the run just completed.
The number of hop yards that have been left unpicked in Clackamas and the counties south is numerous. The Oregon City Courier thinks that as hops are now but 6 to 7 cents a pound, and the cost of raising them is 5 cents, those growers that saved their crops are not much better off than those that did not.
A belligerent owl came to grief at Grant's Pass the first of the week. Mrs. G. N. Bolt opened the barn door in the morning and the owl drove her out. Then Holt went after it with a revolver, and the owl showed a spirited fight. It was finally killed with a stone, and measured five and one-half feet from tip to tip.
At a Corvallis furniture store are to be seen samples of sugar cane grown on the farm of Henry McElmurry, in the vicinity of Tangent. The seed came from Arkansas and was planted late in May. The samples are over seven feet in height, well matured, and thrifty, and the juicy pith has the genuine Louisiana sugar cane taste, both in sweetness and flavor. A sample of the growth will be submitted to the experimental station for test. McElmurry is convinced that sugar cane can be grown in Oregon, and will try the experiment over again next year.

Two Important points wcro decided last
week In the world of the biff college elevens.
Ono was the dale of the Princeton-Yale
game , which was flnally placed nt December
t. It was conclusively shown by Princeton
that December 5 , upon which Ynle Insisted ,
wan out of the question , nnd Yale yielded.
The squabble has brought out a , consider
able amount of unfavorable criticism URalnst
Yale. Us conduct In the matter was not as
iportsmanllko as It usually has been and
tranuatCB are gliul that It yielded as grace-
Jully ns It did. A great many graduates will
bo aorry that the game has been changed
from Thanksgiving , whllo many more per
haps , arc glftd. There have been many re
ports ot the rlotousncss that occurred on
the evening of the holiday , nnd this has been
ill attributed lo the students. This Is en
tirely wrong , If everyone that walked Ihe
streets that night with either the blue or
the orange and black on belonged to the col
leges , they would have been unable to have
heltl the number. The fact Is that the cheap
duties and tin horn sporta of the
city -were accustomed to pick their favorite
color , attend the game nnd there raise Cain.
Thu fnct thnt they wore the odors Immedi
ately convinced the people that they were
students , This may bo done awns' with liy
the change of dnle , nnd tf It dees the change
Is not an unmixed evil.
The other Important point was the naming
ot the place far holding the Princeton-
Pennsylvania match. It was decided to play
on the fnlr grounds nt Trenton. If they were
In satisfactory condition by November 1. If
they nre not In condition by thnt date the
Kami ; will be played at Philadelphia. No
vember 10 was agreed upon as the date.
Princeton nt llrst Insisted upon her own
grounds. It was found , however , thnt the
trnnspoi tallon fatuities were , not nufllcleut
nnd then Trenton wna thought of New
York wna never possible , bcnuse the Prince
ton faculty objected to It * selection , though
the foot ball association would probably
have preferred playing there.
HAUVAUD NOT A FACTOR.
Harvard played Cornell Saturday and , the
result wna a victory for Harvard liy the
Bcore of Z ! to 12. Cornell has an excellent
team , the result of the ccnchlnn of Marshal ;
Newell more than anything else. Her line
Is not ns heavy as thnt of the big elevens
If It were , the results ot the psimes both
with Harvard and Princeton might have
been radically different. In both games
Cornell ptnyed with a vim and quickness
that far purpassed those of its opponents.
Harvard lined up her 'varsity team ns fnr
as It can Inforetold. .
From their present condition , If Harvard's
foot ball team wins Its game , with Ynle nt
Springfield on November 2-1 , It will be almost
a miracle , nnd will prove pretty conclusively
that U takes only u few weeks to get a foot
ball eleven ready for a great contest. It Is
six weeks since Captnln Kmmon'a men went
Into tr.inlng , nnd only once , In Saturday's
gamp , has the eleven been made up any
where near ns It Is expected to "be when It
f nee a the blue nt Sprlngtleld. Never In the
history of Harvard foot ball has the team
been In such a state of demoralization tour
weeks before the Ilnnl struggle , nnd this
condition of affairs Is due to the phenom
enal army of Injuries that hnvc occurred.
The most serious that hnve happened lately
have been two broken collarbones , winking
a record of three for the peapon BO far. The
players Injured arc rtlclmrdson and Dunlap ,
nnd neither will bo able to fret on the Held
ngnln this yenr. Then Hallowell , who has
n bruised rib , nnd Arthur Hrev.er , with a
bruised Jnw , arc not In trim.
There Is only one explanation offered for
thlH unprecedented record. lly the new sys
tem of training Inaugurated thla- year the
men nre nil kept underworked , rather Ihnn
overworked , and the result Is that every day
they feel so strong thnt they play with
terrific force. At any rate , there r.ever was
Buch hard nnd fierce playing In the practice
and Instead of getting Into their canvas
Jackets tired all out , they are crazy to get
out on the field every day. Consequently It
looks ns If the eleven survivors , whoever
they may be , will go to the scratch In
Bprlnglleld In condition to play a terrific
prime.
prime.NEW PLAY ON THE ENDS.
In the games played so far this fall there
havfc been an unusual number of runs made
around Harvnrd's end. If It had only been
around substitute ends not so much would
have been thought of It. but around Arthur
Hrewer several long runs hnvc * been made.
Whether thl3 Is due to the fact that the
email teams are playing- more skillfully
than formerly or to the new Ideas of de
fense which Harvard Is trying , Is a ques
tion.
tion.Harvcrd'B
Harvcrd'B ends are being taught very dlf-
erently now from previous seasons. It
used to be the Idea thnt nn pnd f-houl
play fnr enough out so thai In an attempt
to run around his end he could turn the
runner In , giving the tnckle and the rush
ing half back u chance nt him. Now n
very short line Is played. The end , instead
of being well out , keeps close In lo tackle ,
nnd Instead of trying to go outside the run '
ner and turn him In , he Is coached to 'o
Btralght at him. It will take more playing
to demonstrate whether or not the new
scheme Is a logical one.
The feeling is rapidly gaining ground nt
Harvard thnt the team has very little
chance of winning from Yale , and It has
been hard work to keep up enthusiasm
among the players.
Yale met another Bnnff Saturday , when
she lined up against West Point anil defeat
ed the cadets by the very small scoreof 12
to G. At the end of the llrst half the score
was 6 to 5. and It was only nfter some very
llerce and liiird 'play Uiat Ynle wns uble
lo Ecore another touchdown. The team was
almost the 'varsity , nlthough Hlnkey did
not piny. The game was the hardest Yale
has had to play this year , and although
West Point always hns had a strong team.
Yale has never had to work so hard against
The week at Ynle hns been devoted to a
great deal of practice , with very little
change In the team , I-mirle Ullss hns been
coaching the back oC line men. They hnve
nearly all distinguished themselves. The
work of the line as a. whole has been rather
lifeless. As a result of McCrca'n poor work
he hns been put on the scrub and Browr
has tilled his place at left guard.
PRINCETON SLOW TO CATCH ON.
Princeton's play so far this fall hns been
a surprise and a disappointment. They nre
playlnc by no means the same strong- game
they did last season. Second rate teams are
keeping them down remarkably well anc
there appears to be very little vim am
dash In the play. The explanation given Is
thnt In these games the old players haven'
begun to play the gnmc they did last year
They are getting Into condition very slowly
Holly , who returned later than the rest
Is not playing the game he used to , nm
will probably be the'last one to get back :
entirely Into his strong playing- previous
years.
Illfrga has been mnklng flno prosres a
center and will probably make the position
Frank Morse Is considered a fixture at qunr
UT. Helter has
come Into prominence as a
line buckcr. Like other halves , In his hast <
to drive Into openings , he receives the bnl
carelessly nnd sometimes fumbles badly
With this exception , hew Vcr , In Is nn excel
lent all-around half back , Cochrnn. who has
been trying- for end , has been put In full i
Ills strong points nre his tackling nnd llm
bucking. In the- latter he Is equal to inIi
nnd In the former ho Is Hurt's superior. He
has also been doing- some good work In Iia
lerfcrence. ' His kicking Is not as good a
Hurt's
Annapolis allowed Pennsylvania , to make
pn v two touchdowns against her Saturday
both being madeIn the last half. It wn
I hard game throughout , but Pennsylvania' ,
Interference was very poor nnd the brllllan
work or her backs could not overcome thl
aisadvantage. Annapolis has a strong team
Mid tnkjne Into consideration the equalli
ItroiiB- showing of W st Point Saturday 1
would be Impossible to predict the result o
Ihe game between the two.

Vr'ltli the wlndup of the Loultvllle fizzle
the harness racing season closed during the
past week and the champions are being hur
ried to their winter quarters. Robert J and
Jclm II , Gentry were to have been raced one
day this Vierk , but as Gentry was not In
tiptop condition the contest has been declared
oft and "Pa" Hatnlln has put his famous
pacing gelding Into Ills winter quarters at
Buffalo. Fantasy and others of fleers' string
ot fast ones will spend the winter In Call Tor'
nla , where they can be conditioned early In
the season. Monroe Salisbury anil Andy Mc
Dowell will hlo themselves westward this
week nnd Azote- , Directly , Answer , Expres
sive and others In the string will Inhale the
balmy Pacific slope breezes for the next few
months. Allxwill probably go Into her
former quarters ut lied Oak , although It Is
not yet definitely settled as to what dispo
sition will be mnde of her for the winter.
Other horsemen are getting Into winter quar
ters as fast as possible , and from now on
there will be no more regular meetings for
this season.

Flying Jib goes into hla winter quarters
with n new murk , and now his record Is
2:01V5 : , he- having paced mile nt Louisville
against time on Thursday. The Jlt > Is a
peculiar animal , nnd no one knows just
how fast he can travel , for h < - will never go
to the limit ot his speed when his owner
wants him to. This year Jib started in
and paced like a little lamu for the first
few weelts , but Just as soon ns he got onto
the Grand circuit he became stubborn and
was left at Ihe post by a Held of horses
that he could run away from If he took the
notion. He paced the fastest mlle ever trav
eled In June on Union park track here , nnd
then lute this full traveled the fastest mile
ever paced or trotted by any horse hitched
to a running mate. Now at the very windup -
up of the- reason he goes a mile against
time , on a slow track. In 2:03' : If Salis
bury can get any one who can drive the
Jib he seems to have speed enough to licat
any living animal.

The Axtel rolls , a number of which were
campaigned | jy the syndicate which bought
Axtel from Charley Williams A few years
ago , will BO back to their winter quarters
at Tcrrc Haute without having made any
new records or having added considerable
sums to their owners' accounts. When the
season opened nearly a dozen of the get ot
this formeily famous stallion were condi
tioned , but before the season closed most
of them were sent back to the stable. There
are several promising youngsters In the
group , but It 1s likely that they will have
to have age and muscle to get them into
winning form.

There was a good light harness race meet

I.ixtco Celebrated by Thoalrlcals.
Nebraska lodge No. 351 , Independent Order
of IlnnI Brllh , gave a very good presentation
of Henry J. Byron's three-act comedy , en
titled "Uncle Doodle , " nt Metropolitan hall
last night. The actors were almost perfect
In their lines and aid from the prompter
waa not needed. Mr. Simon Qoetz Imper
sonated llarnaby Doodle , an old , eccentric
uncle who had Just returned from India , In
a very natural manner. Mr. Fred Q. Sellg-
sohn as Paul Beaumont , Miss Minnie Lob-
man as SCrs. Tereslna Beaumont , Mr. Edgar
\VesseI as Peter Fletcher , and Miss Hattle
Oberfelder as Emily Montrose represented
the tangle Into which they had fallen very
well. Miss Hattle
Drelfuss had the manner
of a rather tough maid of all work down
well as Sarah Jane.
The comedy represents the visit of Carnaby
Hoodie to Ills nephew , Paul Beaumont , who
ho thinks is single , but who Is really mar
ried. Beaumont wants his uncle to think
him unmarried , so he Introduces his wife as
the wife of his friend , Peter Fletcher , anil
about this the comedy centers. The scene
was changed to Omaha and a good many
local hits were made which were heartily
applanded.
There was a largo audience present. After
the end of the- play a supper , prepared
by the lailtes , wns served , and then fol
lowed a ball , which continued until after
midnight
This was the first of three entertainments
that arc to b& given. The proceeds are to
be devoted to charity and also to entertain
ing the convention which will bo held here
In February by District lodge No. 6.
The entertainment was In celebration of the
tenth anniversary of the lodge.

TJCSON. Ariz. , Oct. 28. Oscar Ropers , one
of the men charged with holdlnjj up a
Southern 1'aclflc castuound overland train a
few weeks ago near Mnrlcopa station , anO
now confined In Jail .here pending n hearing-
on Indictments found by the grand jury of
Plnal county , made a daring and almost
successful attempt to escape today.
He had removed all but one layer of brick
from the wall when his operations were dis
covered try the Jailer. He would have made
his escape 1C he hud had ten minutes more.
Otico outside the walls , his capture would
have been no eaay mutter , for It Is pos
itively known that others Implicated In the
Marlcopa train robbery were near to help
him.
"KU1" Thompson , whom the Southern Pa
cific detectives are working day and nlpht
to capture , Is thought to be In this vlclnlt } .
It Is said that arrangements had been made
for HOKCIS , and he was to have a saddled
hcrse nnd n refupe In the mountains near
this city. The opinion of olliccrs Is that the
men who helped to hold up the overland nt
Marlcopa are the men who committed the
Uoscoe robbery.

LONDON , Oct. 2S. Nothing occurred dur
ing the past w _ ek to Influence the money
market. Gold exports to the continent were
more active , but these were- balanced by
gold arrivals from Africa. The silver mar

anticipation of a 7 per cent loan to China.
A. loan to the amount of. 10,000.000 hns Just
been negotiated. The market for securities
completely absorbed the speculative energies

NHW YOUIC. Oct. SS. Henry clews , hfiul
of the banking house of Henry Clewa & Co. ,
writes of the situation In "Wall street :
"The principal event of the week affecting
the stock mnrkct has been connected with
the antliraclto coal companies. For some
time past relations between the producers
have been steadily working toward a tangle.
On the ono linnd , the depression of business
lias been checking the demand ; on Iho other ,
several producers have been exceeding their
respective allotments of production. Under
these circumstances stocks have steadily ac
cumulated nnd buyers have had the ad
vantage over sellers , the natural result ot
such a situation being a cutting ol price ,
until sales have been made at TO cents per
Ion below the 'circular' figures. On Thursday
tt meeting of the producers and carriers was
held tor considering the situation. Thn meet
ing showed considerable division ot opinion
and reached some very singular conclusions.
It was determined to abolish all limitations
upon production , each company determining
Its own output , ana to advance prices 15 to
20 cents above the present olllclnl schedule.
Two things Walt street has not yet been
able lo explain how , with an existing oversupply -
supply , encouragement to Increased produc
tion should be given ; and how , with an In
creased production nnd diminished demand ,
the 'circular' price should be advanced , In
the face of sellers being unable to get exist
ing prices nnd being willing to accept laige
reductions. The logic of these conclusions
excites a good deal of meirlment , nnd the
settlement 18 regmled as only momentary
HOW IT APl-UCTS OTHER LINKS.
"In Iho consideration If this question It Is
Impossible to Ignore certain existing factors
of controlling Importance. The position of
consumers undoubtedly favors n low price
for coal. The reduced earnings of the public
at large necessitate a contraction of the
use of fuel for domestic purposes , and , If
prices nre to be maintained , the demand
from that quarter must be expected to be
correspondingly reduced The same rule ap
plies to Industrial consumption with still
preater force With the great fall In prices
for nil kinds of manufactured products , there
Is an unavoidable necessity for a reduc
tion In the cost of motive power , In which
coal constitutes the principal element. The
cheapening of power. Indeed , Is the fore
most engineering problem of the day , not
only ] In our factories , but still moie In every
branch of transportation , whether on lander
or water. Electricity has not only done
much , already toward solving that problem
but , through the remarkable discoveries ol
Tesla , promises to do more , that Inventor
having. It Is conceded , laid n basis for the
early production of electricity at one-half
Us present cost. That dlFcovery not only
promises cheaper light , but a more econom
ical power than steam , and also n source
of heat that maiy prove cheaper than coal
for cither clcmestlc or Industrial uses , These
factors place coal , both anthracite nnd b
tumlnous. In a position of disadvantage to
which It has never hitherto been exposed.
AVlille , In a certain sense , It must still re
main the chief basis of power and will b-
the chlaf agent In producing electricity , yel
these changes , must Inevitably largely In
fringe upon Its consumption Thui Influences
are at work which can hardly fall to cotnp : ! H
more or less permanent reduction In tin
price of anthracite. It Is true that there
hns already been some reduction In Its prlci ,
the present official quotations being aboul
V % per cent below those of 1892. It would ,
nevertheless , bo n rather bold assumptlor
to say that this decline Is milllolrnt to eat
Isfy these new conditions. Probably a ma
terial further concession In price and some
-"flurtloli In output will be found necessary ,
and that will call for economics In working
the mines find In carriage , and probably
some curtailment In wages for mining am
handling. The coal companies have thus to
face a rather serious situation , which calls
for prudence and conservatism and certalnH
cannot be helped by reckless competition In
elth-T production or prices Their Interest ?
will be uest served by continued co-opsra
tlon , coupleit with n proper estimate of the
difficulties they have to contend with. It
would be wise to meet the necessities of In
dustrlal consumers llberallv , for In that was
alone can It be hoped to keep up the mis
Important pnrt of the demand to the norma
standard. Manufacturers have to content'
with unprecedcntedly low prices , nml mat
ters smaller than the cost of fuel sufllce. In
many cases , to in-event them from keeping
their machinery going. This condition In the
coal trade Indicates the sort of adjustment
to reduced values that Is required In even
branch of our Industries , and which has no :
vet been complied with In many of them.
HAS DEPRESSED THE MARKET.
"This situation In the conl stocks has hart
a somewhat depressing effect upon the mar
ket nt large , but not to the extent of ma
terially affecting the blocks of other roads
There Is still n firm undertone to trip mar
ket. The "bears' fall to pioduce nnythln"
beyond n fractional Impression by their
raids , and the dllllculty In getting stock tr
cover their sales discourages them. Between
the reduction In the volume cf floating stocl.
and the large amount held off the marks
pending financial reconstructions , there Is a
real nnd very unusual scarcity of stock
ftlilch greatly strengthens the position o
holders nnd gives a steady bullish drift lo
operations.
"The shipments of gold to Germany have
not made much Impression. This week the
rates of exchange have discouraged further
exports , and with the large supply available
at London there Is the less Inducement for
Iterlln preferring- get the metal from New
York.
"The unusual excitement connected with
the canvass for the elections has a. tendency
to divert attention from Wall street for the
moment , but It can hardly be said lo af
fect the tone ot business. Considerable In
terest is felt In the prospect as to currency
legislation , but the state of opinion on the
question In congress and In Interior sections
is so undeveloped that It Is not an Influential
clement on the business of the exchange. "

"The market Is quiet and steady. Such
wools as are selling < and these Include most
kinds I of domestic and all kinds of foreign

the same prices they were ten clays ago.
"There Is less wool being sold just now
because the large manufacturers had pur

Igle for Yale-Franklin and Place for Princeton-Pennsylvania
WHAT THE GAMES OF SATURDAY PROVE
Only Interference Pennsylvanian Hull Princeton Not In College For Army unit
- > vy Boling Well.
Two Important points were decided last week In the world of the big college elevens.
One was the date of the Princeton-Yale game, which was finally placed at December 5. It was conclusively shown by Princeton that December 5, upon which Yale insisted, was out of the question, and Yale yielded. The squabble has brought out a considerable amount of unfavorable criticism against Yale. Its conduct in the matter was not as sportsmanlike as it usually has been and there are grounds that it yielded as graciously as it did. A great many graduates will be sorry that the game has been changed from Thanksgiving, while many more perhaps, are glad. There have been many reports of the misbehavior that occurred on the evening of the holiday, and this has been entirely wrong, If everyone that walked the streets that night with either the blue or the orange and black on belonged to the colleges, they would have been unable to have held the number. The fact is that the cheap duties and the horn sports of the city were accustomed to pick their favorite color, attend the game and there raise Cain. The fact that they wore the colors immediately convinced the people that they were students. This may be done away with by the change of date, and if it does the change is not an unmixed evil.
The other Important point was the naming of the place for holding the Princeton-Pennsylvania match. It was decided to play on the fairgrounds at Trenton. If they were in satisfactory condition by November 1. If they are not in condition by that date the game will be played at Philadelphia. November 10 was agreed upon as the date. Princeton at first insisted upon her own grounds. It was found, however, that the transportation facilities were not sufficient and then Trenton was thought of. New York was never possible, because the Princeton faculty objected to it, though the football association would probably have preferred playing there.
HAUHAU NOT A FACTOR.
Harvard played Cornell Saturday and, the result was a victory for Harvard by the score of 26 to 12. Cornell has an excellent team, the result of the coaching of Marshal Newell more than anything else. Her line is not as heavy as that of the big elevens. If it were, the results of the games both with Harvard and Princeton might have been radically different. In both games Cornell played with a vim and quickness that far surpassed those of its opponents. Harvard lined up her varsity team as far in advance as could be foretold.
From their present condition, if Harvard's football team wins its game, with Yale at Springfield on November 21, it will be almost a miracle, and will prove pretty conclusively that it takes only a few weeks to get a football eleven ready for a great contest. It is six weeks since Captain Kemeny's men went into training, and only once, in Saturday's game, has the eleven been made up any where near as it is expected to be when it meets Yale at Springfield. Never in the history of Harvard football has the team been in such a state of demoralization four weeks before the final struggle, and this condition of affairs is due to the phenomenal army of injuries that have occurred.
The most serious that have happened lately have been two broken collarbones, making a record of three for the season so far. The players injured are Richardson and Dunlap, and neither will be able to play on the field again this year. Then Hallowell, who has a bruised rib, and Arthur Brewer, with a bruised jaw, are not in trim.
There is only one explanation offered for this unprecedented record. By the new system of training inaugurated this year, the men are all kept underworked, rather than overworked, and the result is that every day they feel so strong that they play with terrific force. At any rate, there never was such hard and fierce playing in the practice as there is now, and instead of getting into their canvas jackets tired all out, they are crazy to get out on the field every day. Consequently, it looks as if the eleven survivors, whoever they may be, will go to Springfield in condition to play a terrific game.
NEW PLAY ON THE ENDS.
In the games played so far this fall there have been an unusual number of runs made around Harvard's end. If it had only been around substitute ends not so much would have been thought of it, but around Arthur Brewer several long runs have been made.
Whether this is due to the fact that the smaller teams are playing more skillfully than formerly or to the new ideas of defense which Harvard is trying, is a question.
Harvard's ends are being taught very differently now from previous seasons. It used to be the idea that an end should play far enough out so that in an attempt to run around his end he could turn the runner in, giving the tackle and the rushing half back a chance at him. Now a very short line is played. The end, instead of being well out, keeps close in to tackle, and instead of trying to go outside the runner and turn him in, he is coached to go straight at him. It will take more playing to demonstrate whether or not the new scheme is a logical one.
The feeling is rapidly gaining ground at Harvard that the team has very little chance of winning from Yale, and it has been hard work to keep up enthusiasm among the players.
Yale met another Buffalo Saturday, when she lined up against West Point and defeated the cadets by the very small score of 12 to 6. At the end of the first half the score was 6 to 5, and it was only after some very fierce and hard play that Yale was able to score another touchdown. The team was almost the varsity, although McKinley did not play. The game was the hardest Yale has had to play this year, and although West Point always has had a strong team, Yale has never had to work so hard against it.
The week at Yale has been devoted to a great deal of practice, with very little change in the team, McKinley has been coaching the back of the line men. They have all distinguished themselves. The work of the line as a whole has been rather lifeless. As a result of McCracken's poor work, he has been put on the scrub and Brewer has filled his place at left guard.
PRINCETON SLOW TO CATCH ON.
Princeton's play so far this fall has been a surprise and a disappointment. They are playing by no means the same strong game they did last season. Second-rate teams are keeping them down remarkably well and there appears to be very little vim and dash in the play. The explanation given is that in these games the old players haven't begun to play the game they did last year. They are getting into condition very slowly. Holly, who returned later than the rest, is not playing the game he used to, and will probably be the last one to get back entirely into his strong playing years of previous years.
Illinois has been making fine progress as a center and will probably make the position frank. Morse is considered a fixture at guard. Helmer has come into prominence as a line buckler. Like other halves, in his haste to drive into openings, he receives the ball carelessly and sometimes fumbles badly. With this exception, he is an excellent all-around halfback. Cochran, who has been trying out for end, has been put in full. His strong points are his tackling and his bucking. In the latter he is equal to, and in the former he is Hurts' superior. He has also been doing some good work in interference. His kicking is not as good as Hurts'.
Annapolis allowed Pennsylvania to make two touchdowns against her Saturday, both being made in the last half. It was a hard game throughout, but Pennsylvania's interference was very poor and the brilliant work of her backs could not overcome this disadvantage. Annapolis has a strong team and taking into consideration the equalizing factor of West Point's showing Saturday, it would be impossible to predict the result of the game between the two.
STRATEGIZING ON THE TEAMS,
According to Princeton, Yale, and Pennsylvanian, Hefflinger, the great ex-Yale guard, is inclined to give them in the above order. He says that Princeton is strongest on her defensive, and that Want and McCormack are in better form and stronger in the line than either Yale or Pennsylvanian. At fullback, Hurts' work is the strongest. He believes that Yale's defense is not as strong as her team showed two years ago. Yale, with the ball however, shows more snap than the other two colleges. Her backs do not secure as long runs as Osgood or DeWitt, nor get through the line as cleanly as Ward or McCormack. But they handle the ball more finely. Yale's line is very strong and the men seem to be more active in breaking through than those in the Pennsylvania and Princeton lines. The backs of Pennsylvanian seem around the ends in wonderful style and are much better adapted for this style of play than going through the line. Taking either Yale's or Princeton's line as a whole, it is stronger than Pennsylvania's. Hefflinger writes further: "Taking it all in, I think Princeton has the best all-around team, with Yale the closest kind of second, and I have no doubt that Princeton will beat Pennsylvanian by the points. Pennsylvanian's team features so many individuals to develop the entire team play."
Bentley College defeated the University of Nebraska by the score of 12 to 0. Nebraska was unable to break through DiAnte's line and the only points were usually captured by the end. The ball was kept most of the time in Nebraska's territory and it was only by strenuous day playing that the score was kept as low as it was.
Miami was also defeated Saturday by the Denver Athletic club.
MARKING OF THE GAME,
The State University of Iowa feels sure that this year it has the team which is going to win the championship of the Western Conference of the Interstate Foot Ball association. The team averages about 170 pounds and the men are all speedy and quick. The work so far has been under the direction of E.W. Moellem and Rogers Sherman. Last year Moellem trained the team of the University of Michigan, and the year before he was at the University of Minnesota. Sherman played foot ball at the University of Michigan. Under Sherman's direction the men are learning to play with a snap and have such as has not been seen before in this school. Much bad luck was met with at the beginning of the season in the crippling and loss of players, but in spite of that fact plenty of good material has been found to fill all places.
Sawyer, the captain, plays at quarterback. This is his fourth year with the team and his third at quarterback. His weight is 160 pounds. He is a good field general and is always on hand to do his share of the work.
Little, left end, weighs about 172 pounds, is one of the best ground gainers on the team and on defensive work seldom fails to spoil all attempts at circling his end. This is his second year in this position.
Williams, left tackle, weighs about 168 pounds, and is also a sure ground gainer. He plays hard foot ball and can be depended upon to stop most of the rushes that come his way.
Allen, left guard, 192 pounds, played the game position last year. He is a very strong player and has not so far this season met his match.
Iverson at center, 168 pounds, plays a strong, steady game. The ball always goes back the same from his hand.
Lighten, right guard, 168 pounds, is a new man at the game, but plays with the steadiness and skill of a veteran.
Colvin, 175 pounds, is holding down his old position at right tackle. He is a good ground gainer and breaks through a line well.
Blake, right end, 168 pounds, is a new man at the position, but, with the exception of a little slowness in starting when called upon to take the ball, plays a good game. He is a good tacle.
Herring, light halfback, 168 pounds, is the speediest man on the team. He seldom takes the ball for a loss and is good on interference.
Converse, left halfback, 158 pounds, is slower than Herring, but follows his blockers well. He is a good tacle and excellent at kneeling smashing. This is his first year at foot ball.
Reppel, fullback, 171 pounds, is a strong runner and a good punter. He bucks the ball well and gets into the interference well.
Flicker, substitute tackle, 163 pounds, is playing a very strong game and is making Collins and Williams both play ball to hold their positions.
Ingersoll, substitute center and guard, 218 pounds, is the largest man on the field. He plays a strong, steady game and is very hard to move.
Bremer, the manager, will play substitute quarterback.
All of the hard games for the team are yet to come, the portion of the schedule remaining unplayed being as follows: Monday, October 29, Wisconsin university, at Madison; Saturday, November 3, Kansas university, at Iowa City; Saturday, November 10, Drake college, at Iowa City; Saturday, November 17, Missouri university, at Columbia; Friday, November 23, Beloit college, at Iowa City; Thursday, November 29, Nebraska university, at Omaha.
LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 28. Tenny, the immortal little "swanky," was shipped in a special car to California tonight. The team will be placed in the stud at Tijuana, the stock farm of Millionaire Jagger. Tenny has been doing service at the Beaumont stud for some time. Several months ago, David Pulsifer, owner of Tenny, and J.B. Jagger matched Tenny and Salvator for a contest in siring speed, $5,000 posted. Each horse will be bred to three of the best mares on Jagger's farm and the products raced in their 2- and 3-year-old forms against each other. If the get of Tenny defeats the 2-year-olds by Salvator, Pulsifer gets the money, and vice versa. This is the only wager of the year on record. Having done battle on the tart, each rival will vie with each other in getting their counterpart.
FIRE DESTROYS YEAGER'S BARN.
Red Oak, Iowa, Oct. 28. (Special Telegram) Between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning, the barn belonging to N. Yeager of Omaha was totally destroyed. It was used as winter quarters for the racehorses, in charge of J. Tilden. The 3-year-old stallion Antwerp, by Anteos, 2:16 4-5, and Kissing Girl, 2:19 5-4, valued at $5,000, were burned. Antwerp gave great promise as a very fast colt and was the property of Mayor Daniel Guun and J.E. Wheeler, who feel his loss heavily, as they expected Antwerp would be among the fast ones next year. A yearling colt, by Redwald, 2:23 4-5, was also lost. The fire was undoubtedly of incendiary origin.
Fourth Round in the Masters' Chess Tournament.
NEW YORK, Oct. 28. The fourth round of the master's chess tournament was played yesterday. The results are as follows: Albin vs. Showalter, 45 moves, Zelinsky, Albin won; Lasker vs. Benham, 68 moves, queen's opening, drawn; Steinmetz vs. Hocheimer, 31 moves, Huy Lopez defense, Steinitz won; Janovsky vs. Balun, 92 moves, queen's opening, drawn; Pillsbury vs. Halpern, 30 moves, queen's pawn, Halpern won; Myers, a bye.
May Meet at Point Breeze.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 28. It is announced that the cracks Robert J, John A. Gentry, Allie, Fantasy, Phoebe Wilkes, and Nightingale will show at Point Breeze race track this week. Matches for liberal purses are said to have been arranged and fast time is looked for Thursday and Friday and the days set for the main events.
Breeding Records on Sunday.
DECATUR, III., Oct. 28.-Today L.D. Cabanne of St. Louis covered a quarter mile, unpaced, flying start, in 0:25 1-4, lowering Zelinsky's world's record. High and John rode unpaced, flying start, quarter mile in 0:23 1-4. Herman and Gocz covered one-third of a mile unpaced, flying start, in 0:31 4-5.
I own and sell fine horses.
CHICAGO, Oct. 28. The football game between Chicago University and the State University of Iowa was a tie 18 to 18.
CHICAGO, Oct. 28. The football eleven of the Chicago Athletic association defeated that of Wheaton University today by a score of 16 to 3.
Mrs. T.S. Hawkins, Chattanooga, Tenn., says: "Smith's Vitalizer saved my life. I consider it the best remedy for a debilitated constitution I ever used. For dyspepsia, liver or kidney trouble, it excels. Price, 75c. Sold by Goodman Drug Co."
Hibernian and H.O. Green Year.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28.-The whaling schooner Jennette arrived from the Arctic today. The only late news she brings is that the Delvidere has now four and the Orca seven whales. The first of the fleet has only arrived to fare, and yet over 11,000 barrels of oil, bone, and ivory have been received. At this rate the whalers ought to bring in nearly $4,000,000 worth of stuff before the last is heard from Oregon. Eiderdown tea cures nervousness. Trial size, 25 cents. All gone to the stable.
Harness Horses Take Their Final Marks and Retire for the Winter.
FROST AT LOUISVILLE THE WINDUP
Stagnant Spoils the Driving Meet at Churchill Downs and Closes the Season
at the Year,
With the windup of the Louisville fizzle, the harness racing season closed during the past week and the champions are being hurried to their winter quarters. Robert J. and Jim H., Gentry were to have been raced one day this week, but as Gentry was not in top condition, the contest has been called off and "Pa" Hamlin has put his famous pacing gelding into his winter quarters at Buffalo. Fantasy and others of fleers' string of fast ones will spend the winter in California, where they can be conditioned early in the season. Monroe Salisbury and Andy McDowell will head westward this week and Azote, Direct, Answer, Express, and others in the string will inhale the balmy Pacific slope breezes for the next few months. Allie will probably go into her former quarters at Red Oak, although it is not yet definitely settled as to what disposition will be made of her for the winter.
Other horsemen are getting into winter quarters as fast as possible, and from now on there will be no more regular meetings for this season.
Flying Jib goes into his winter quarters with a new mark, and now his record is 2:01 4-5, having paced a mile at Louisville against time on Thursday. The Jib is a peculiar animal, and no one knows just how fast he can travel, for he will never go to the limit of his speed when his owner wants him to. This year Jib started in and paced like a lamb for the first few weeks, but just as soon as he got onto the Grand circuit he became stubborn and was left at the post by a field of horses that he could run away from if he took the notion. He paced the fastest mile ever traveled in June on Union park track here, and then later this fall traveled the fastest mile ever paced or trotted by any horse hitched to a running mate. Now at the very windup of the season, he goes a mile against time, on a slow track, in 2:03 1-4. If Salisbury can get anyone who can drive the Jib, he seems to have speed enough to beat any living animal.
The Louisville race meeting during the past week experienced a frost because of bad weather and after a heavy rain closed down on Friday, a financial failure.
The Axtel rolls, a number of which were campaigned by the syndicate which bought Axtel from Charley Williams a few years ago, will go back to their winter quarters at Terre Haute without having made any new records or having added considerable sums to their owners' accounts. When the season opened, nearly a dozen of the get of this formerly famous stallion were conditioned, but before the season closed, most of them were sent back to the stable. There are several promising youngsters in the group, but it is likely that they will have to have age and muscle to get them into winning form.
Speaking about the fame of horses, their laurels fade away almost as fast as those of a politician. Two years ago everything - Nancy Hanks. If anything was designated as being fast, it was said to beat a Nancy Hanks gait. It was Nancy this and Nancy that, but now her honors have been completely obscured by the performances of Alex, Robert J, John It. Gentry, Joe Patchen, Online and Flying Jib, who have all made a mark as good or better than 2:01, the record held by Nancy Hanks for two years. Fame is fleeting on the racing courses as well as elsewhere. The two-minute horse will hide the marks made by the above-mentioned horses this year.
There was a good light harness race meeting at Wilcox, Neb., during the past week. There are a number of good half-mile tracks in this state, but horsemen want the best of mile courses and next year they will more than likely have one in Omaha.
Among the horses that have earned money on the tracks this season, as well as new records, are the following trotters:
Yearlings, Abdrill o.jj
Two-year-old colt, Oaklinn luron 2:23
Three-year-old colt, Threegaive 2:21
Four-year-old stallion, Iron 2:11
Four-year-old mare, Patncy 2:06
Fastest groom, Alex 2:0tt
Fastest stallions, Thoroughbred II and Dan Cummings, 2:0HU
Fastest under saddle, One to One 2:15
Fastest double team, Rose Loaf and Hally Simmons 2:15
racers:
Two-year-old colt, Directly 2:07
Three-year-old colt, Hoonksilo 2:11
Three-year-old miles, Whittler and Ethel A.
Four-year-old colt, Online 2:05
Fastest poling, Robert J 2:01
Fastest stallion, John H. Gentry 2:0ft
Fastest new performer, Subheteen 2:08
The trial of Bob Keenbs, the American horseman who tried to work in a "ringer" on the racing association at Berlin, is now progressing in the capital city of Germany. He is charged with fraudulent entry of a horse, which is a penal offense over in that country. The example of the Teutons might well be followed by the racing associations in this country.
The fast 3-year-old pacing-filly owned by Fred Boyle of Janesville, Wis., was sent against time at Sioux Falls one day last week. She covered the distance in 2:11, but the track was conceded as being five seconds slow. The filly is named Prairie Lily, and she is after the 3-year-old record for mares of 2:0S. She will make another attempt before the snow flies.
"UNCLE DOODLE"
Tenth Anniversary of the Local Guard Celebrated by Mechanics.
Nebraska lodge No. 351, Independent Order of Purity of Life, gave a very good presentation of Henry J. Byron's three-act comedy, entitled "Uncle Doodle," at Metropolitan hall last night. The actors were almost perfect in their lines and aid from the prompter was not needed. Mr. Simon Goetz impersonated Carnaby Doodle, an old, eccentric uncle who had just returned from India, in a very natural manner. Mr. Fred Q. Sellgson as Paul Beaumont, Miss Minnie Lobman as Senora Teresa Beaumont, Mr. Edgar Wessel as Peter Fletcher, and Miss Hattie Oberfelder as Emily Montrose represented the tangle into which they had fallen very well. Miss Hattie Dreifuss had the manner of a rather tough maid of all work down well as Sarah Jane.
The comedy represents the visit of Carnaby Doodle to his nephew, Paul Beaumont, who he thinks is single, but who is really married. Beaumont wants his uncle to think him unmarried, so he introduces his wife as the wife of his friend, Peter Fletcher, and about this the comedy centers. The scene was changed to Omaha and a good many local hits were made which were heartily applauded.
There was a large audience present. After the end of the play a supper, prepared by the ladies, was served, and then followed a ball, which continued until after midnight.
This was the first of three entertainments that are to be given. The proceeds are to be devoted to charity and also to entertaining the convention which will be held here in February by District lodge No. 6.
The entertainment was in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the lodge.
Held by the Enemy.

Tackle them at once with this panacea! Soothing, nerve quieting, blood purifying specific and you will experience speedy relief. Biliousness, malaria, dyspepsia, liver and neuralgic complaints yield to it.
Your Misery Shall Cease.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23. Nine thousand socialists, wearing red ribbons and shouting their threats and opposition to capitalism, filled the north end of Union Square last night. The occasion was a mass and rut labor meeting - the socialistic labor party of New York. The crowd was intensely enthusiastic, but the multitude of thirty police did not find much difficulty in maintaining order.
Pittsburgh Steel Mills Quarters.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 28. The plate glass manufacturers of the United States have been quietly meeting in Pittsburgh for the last two days. Among those present were George W. Crouse, president of the Charleroi company, E.A. Ritchie, president of the Crystal Glass company, St. Louis; Colonel A.L. Conger, representing the Rock Island plant and the representatives of the local plate glass companies.
The business is badly demoralized and the manufacturers want to see what can be done to hold up rates and the table. It was the sincere wish of a majority that the old combination or pool be reestablished. Nothing definite was done, but the indications are that another association will be formed.
SMALLPOX ON THE LUCANIA.
Authorities Declare that Only the Dead
Have Strained their Departments.
QUARANTINE, N.Y., Oct. 28.-The following are the facts concerning the reported cases of smallpox aboard the Cunard liner Lucania:
On the arrival of the steamer Lucania at Quarantine last Friday evening, Surgeon Pointon reported to Deputy Health Officer Talmadge that two deck stewards named Cecil Brown and Charles Phillips had been taken with smallpox during the voyage. The steamer sailed from Queenstown on October 21 and on the 23rd the two men complained of being ill. They were immediately isolated in the ship's hospital and had no communication with anyone during the remainder of the voyage. The disease, within a few days, developed into smallpox in a mild form. On the arrival of the vessel at quarantine, the patients were transferred to the reception hospital. The entire ship's company were vaccinated and the hospital thoroughly disinfected and cleansed. Dr. Talmadge said this evening that he was perfectly satisfied with the precautions taken by the surgeon to prevent the spread of the disease. The deck and steward's departments are under observation while the vessel is in port. No one is allowed to go on shore during that time.
HOLD THE ROBBERS AT BAY
Thieves Detected in the Act of Escaping from Jail.
TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 28. Oscar Rogers, one of the men charged with holding up a Southern Pacific overland train a few weeks ago near Maricopa station, and now confined in jail here pending a hearing on indictments found by the grand jury of Pinal county, made a daring and almost successful attempt to escape today.
He had removed all but one layer of brick from the wall when his operations were discovered by the jailer. He would have made his escape had he had ten minutes more. Office outside the walls, his capture would have been no easy matter, for it is positively known that others implicated in the Maricopa train robbery were near to help him.
"KU" Thompson, whom the Southern Pacific detectives are working day and night to capture, is thought to be in this vicinity.
It is said that arrangements had been made for HOKCIS, and he was to have a saddled horse and a reprieve in the mountains near this city. The opinion of officers is that the men who helped to hold up the overland at Maricopa are the men who committed the Roscoe robbery.
Nothing occurred during the week to influence the money market. Gold exports to the continent were more active, but these were balanced by gold arrivals from Africa. The silver market was stronger on Chinese purchases and anticipation of a 7 percent loan to China. A loan to the amount of 10,000,000 has just been negotiated. The market for securities completely absorbed the speculative energies at the Stock exchange and for the time being replaced the interest in American securities, which merely followed the movements in Wall Street.
The decreases on the week were: Illinois Central and Reading firsts, each 2 percent, Erie, Lake Shore, Norfolk & Western and Northern Pacific, each 1 percent, and New York Central, Union Pacific and Central Pacific, each 5 percent. The declines in the others were fractional, Mexicans failed to recover from the collapse resulting from the reduced dividend. South Americans showed a better tone.
Electricity for Denver Paper Mills.
DENVER, Oct. 28. On application of the Marlin-Kalbefelsoh Chemical company, a creditor for $200, Charles W. Morse has been appointed by the United States district court to be receiver for the Denver and the Platte River Paper Mills, companies. The suit is a friendly one and is brought for the purpose of forestalling possible foreclosure on account of the death of Colonel P.H. Platt, president of the companies. The companies' bonded indebtedness amounts to $1500,000. They have several millions invested here and the mills are in a nourishing condition. Receiver Morse is vice president of the companies.
From Hull to Sulla.
NEW YORK, Oct. 28. The steamer Parisian Monarch left here today in tow of the tugs Ocean King and Walter A. Luckenbach for Newport News, passing out at Sandy Hook at 1:21 p.m. On arrival at her destination the steamer will be thoroughly overhauled and repaired and changed from a steamer to a four-masted sailing ship, after which she will probably enter the trade between New York and San Francisco. Her carrying capacity will be very great, as her gross tonnage is 3,923, and her net tonnage 2,559. She was built in 1880 at Dumbarton, Scotland.
Memphis, Oct. 28. State Tax Attorney Cwlng, who has been investigating the books of ex-County Clerk J.P. Quigley, made public a startling report today. According to Mr. Cwlng's statement, Quigley failed to collect over $330,000 in taxes during his administration. The State will institute proceedings against the bondsmen as far as they are liable at once. Quigley has been indicted by the grand jury.
Fire at Southern Railway Freight House.
ASHEVILLE, N.C., Oct. 28. Fire discovered early this morning at the Southern railway's freight house destroyed the buildings, together with four loaded cars and four shiny cars, all freight in the buildings and "every record was totally destroyed. The loss is estimated at $80,000, insured.

In the consideration of this question, it is impossible to ignore certain existing factors of controlling importance. The position of consumers undoubtedly favors a low price for coal. The reduced earnings of the public at large necessitate a contraction of the use of fuel for domestic purposes, and, if prices are to be maintained, the demand from that quarter must be expected to be correspondingly reduced. The same rule applies to industrial consumption with still greater force. With the great fall in prices for all kinds of manufactured products, there is an unavoidable necessity for a reduction in the cost of motive power, in which coal constitutes the principal element. The cheapening of power, indeed, is the foremost engineering problem of the day, not only in our factories but still more in every branch of transportation, whether on land, water, or air. Electricity has not only done much, already, toward solving that problem but, through the remarkable discoveries of Tesla, promises to do more, that inventor having, it is conceded, laid a basis for the early production of electricity at one-half its present cost. That discovery not only promises cheaper light but a more economical power than steam, and also a source of heat that may prove cheaper than coal for either domestic or industrial uses. These factors place coal, both anthracite and bituminous, in a position of disadvantage to which it has never hitherto been exposed. While, in a certain sense, it must still remain the chief basis of power and will be the chief agent in producing electricity, yet these changes must inevitably lead to a more or less permanent reduction in the price of anthracite. It is true that there has already been some reduction in its price, the present official quotations being about 25% per cent below those of 1892. It would, nevertheless, be a rather bold assumption to say that this decline is sufficient to meet these new conditions. Probably a material further concession in price and some shortening in output will be found necessary, and that will call for economics in working the mines, in carriage, and probably some curtailment in wages for mining and handling. The coal companies have thus to face a rather serious situation, which calls for prudence and conservatism and certainly cannot be helped by reckless competition in either production or prices. Their interests will be best served by continued cooperation, coupled with a proper estimate of the difficulties they have to contend with. It would be wise to meet the necessities of industrial consumers liberally, for in that was alone can it be hoped to keep up the most important part of the demand to the normal standard. Manufacturers have to content with unprecedentedly low prices, and matters smaller than the cost of fuel suffice, in many cases, to keep them from keeping their machinery going. This condition in the coal trade indicates the sort of adjustment to reduced values that is required in every branch of our industries, and which has not yet been complied with in many of them.
THIS SITUATION IN THE COAL STOCKS HAS HAD A SOMETHING DEPRESSING EFFECT UPON THE MARKET AT LARGE, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT OF MATERIALLY AFFECTING THE BLOCKS OF OTHER ROADS. THERE IS STILL A FIRM UNDERCURRENT TO THE TRIP MARKET. THE "BEARS" FAIL TO PRODUCE ANYTHING BEYOND A FRACTICAL IMPRESSION BY THEIR RAIDS, AND THE DIFFICULTY IN GETTING STOCK TO COVER THEIR SALES DISCOURAGES THEM. BETWEEN THE REDUCTION IN THE VOLUME OF FLOATING STOCK AND THE LARGE AMOUNT HELD OFF THE MARKET PENDING FINANCIAL RECONSTRUCTIONS, THERE IS A REAL AND VERY UNUSUAL SCARCITY OF STOCK WHICH GREATLY STRENGTHENS THE POSITION OF HOLDERS AND GIVES A STEADY BULLISH DRIFT TO OPERATIONS.
THE SHIPMENTS OF GOLD TO GERMANY HAVE NOT MADE MUCH IMPRESSION. THIS WEEK THE RATES OF EXCHANGE HAVE DISCOURAGED FURTHER EXPORTS, AND WITH THE LARGE SUPPLY AVAILABLE AT LONDON THERE IS LESS INDUCEMENT FOR ITALIANS PREFER GETTING THE METAL FROM NEW YORK.
THE UNUSUAL EXCITEMENT CONNECTED WITH THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE ELECTIONS HAS A TENDENCY TO DIVERT ATTENTION FROM WALL STREET FOR THE MOMENT, BUT IT CANNOT BE SAID TO AFFECT THE TONE OF BUSINESS. CONSIDERABLE INTEREST IS FELT IN THE PROSPECT AS TO CURRENCY LEGISLATION, BUT THE STATE OF OPINION ON THE QUESTION IN CONGRESS AND IN INTERIOR SECTIONS IS SO UNDERDEVELOPED THAT IT IS NOT AN INFLUENTIAL FACTOR ON THE BUSINESS OF THE EXCHANGE.
CONDITION OF THE HOLLAND AND AMERICAN SUGAR.
NEW YORK, Oct. 28. The American Wool and Cotton Reporter says of the wool trade: "The market is quiet and steady. Such wools as are selling, and these include most kinds of domestic and all kinds of foreign which are now being imported, are bringing the same prices they were ten days ago.
"There is less wool being sold just now because the large manufacturers had purchased freely some time since, and the buying at date is mainly by the more moderate users who purchase from month to month, or for a less period, sufficient for their needs. These, the trade would say, 'we have always with us; ' among their purchases will be, first and last, a good deal of scoured wool, which has been, comparatively speaking, the case this week. The smaller amount of Australian disposed of is similarly to be accounted for; the immense quantity of it which had been held in bond having been taken out early in September; so while the aggregate now selling, weekly, is considerable, it is being taken in smallish lots by users, who are buying to supply their needs for a limited period.
"The sales of wool in Boston for the week ending October 24 amount to 1,637,750 lbs. domestic and 703,300 lbs. foreign, making a total of 2,341,050 lbs., against a total of 2,901,500 for the previous week and a total of 2,164,000 for the corresponding week last year. The sales since January 1, 1893, amount to 95,351,500 lbs., against 95,351,500 lbs. a year ago.
"The sales in New York for the week aggregate 5,816,000 lbs.
"In Philadelphia, the total sales were 1,160,500 lbs."
DEVELOPING METHODS FOR RELIEF FROM HAIR AND SKIN PROBLEMS.
Dr. Ezra T. Childs, of Danbury, Conn., was turning to various remedies and physicians, none of which did him any good. After trying several remedies, he went to HOT SPRINGS. Hoping to be cured by this combined treatment, but to no avail, and decided to TRY B. WEIDEN, M.D., for relief. Dr. Weiden's wonderful treatment cured him within three weeks.
Dr. Weiden recommends:
SWIFT STOVE COMPANY, ALLINCE, ONT.

If the "earthy" and some unscrupulous grocers will tell you, this is "just as good as" or "just as cheap as" Pearl Line, don't believe them. It's false, of course, and chances are, if you try it, it won't work at all.
In place of Pearl, be honest and send it back, until it is stoves. This week again, lots we have for you better on our prices. They are simply out of sight and you get the goods for about the price of cartage. You cannot afford to stay away. Come early.

Hall Calno recently said of "Tho Manx
man : " "Hardly ono passage of It was writ
ten with pen In hand. I used to wako
early in the morning , usually about 5 o'clock ,
prop myself up In bed , and , -with closed cye-8 ,
think out my work for the day , until not
only the thing took shape , but e\ery pas-
sngo found expression. About 8 o'clock ,
I would get up and hurriedly write down the
words. This would occupy about an hour ,
and then I would do nothing but read until
evening , -nhen I tpont another hour In re
vising or rewriting what I had written In
( he morning , and the rest of the. night In
planning the work for the following day. "

Dr. R. M. Bucke , the ardent worshipper of
Walt Whitman , Is still engaged In swinging
the censer "Walt , " he says In his recent
Whitman Fellowship paper , "was pretty aur
that the man Shaxper never -wrote the
'Shnkespearo' plays , but ho would not and
did not commit himself to a positive declara
tion of opinion on the subject. His mode
of dealing with a dubious matter of this
kind was always by sldp glances and In
stances. For this particular case he liar }
the following little anecdote : 'At a dinner
party a guest recited qulto a long passage )
then aeked those present to say from whoso
works ItWHS taken. Five or six , I among
them , pronounced positively that the lines
were from Shakespeare. He said that ho
himself felt perfectly certain , and wondered
that he could not place the lines , as ho was
at that time very familiar with the plays.
No one guessed any other author. The pas-
sags wan from Dacon. ' "

Inviting words, re solve your health, wealth, happiness, all in trouble, despair, or doubt, will bring positive relief and assurance of incalculable benefit by consulting the most celebrated clairvoyant in the United States known. The professor possesses powers of an eloquent character, unsurpassed by any associated medium or future renderer.

BOOKS & PERIODICALS.
TALES. By Harald B. Wylie. Illustrated Cloth, $1.25. Charles
Scribner's Sons, New York. From Megath Stationery Company, Omaha.
Comprise ten short stories of adventure in
exotic lands, three of which have already
won popular favor in the columns of The
Gentleman's Companion and Harper's Young People.
ON A BACKWOODS FARM by William Riley
Halstead. Cloth, $1.00. Cranston & Curtis, Cincinnati.
A medley of country tales not reflecting
country life in any distinct sense, but very
emphatically bringing it to view beneath serious
contemplations. It is a series of incongruous
chapters "containing reflections growing out of
backwoods life rather than pictures of the
life itself.
ERASMUS. By
J. A. Froude. Cloth, $2.00. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York. From Megath Stationery Company, Omaha.
Twenty lectures delivered by the eminent
historian, Froude, are combined in this volume,
forming an excellent story of the life
of this scholar, the brilliant contemporaries
with whom he was intimate and their influence on the reformation. His pen portraits
of Thomas Moore and Dean Colet given in
letters to friends and his versions and opinions conveyed in such clear, expressive style
invest them with a personal as well as a historical interest. Both the letters and the
remarks of Mr. Froude are full of life and
light.
RAVENSHOE. By Henry Kingsley. Two volumes Cloth, $1.25. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York. From Megath Stationery Company, Omaha,
This is the Initial Issue in the series of
Henry Kingsley's novels now republished for
the first time in many years. The plot of
this tale is founded on the intermarriage of
Catholic and Protestant, developing stirring
deeds in the remaking of a man. The story
is very complex, but is of a wholesome order
and shows the handiwork of a master.
PUBLIC OR DESPOTISM, WHICH?
By Lee Nance. Paper, 35 cents. Louis
Nash & Co., Chicago.
A strong protest against the practice of
lynching and other wrongs inflicted upon the
colored race in the north.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. By Harriet
Wendell. Cloth, $1.75. Charles Scribner's
Sons, New York. From Megath Stationery
Company, Omaha.
A study in Elizabethan literature which
the author tells us "has grown from lectures
given at Harvard college to classes who were
systematically reading the works under discussion." Much as has been written of the
great master mind of literature, there are
always new views to be revealed and new
lights to be thrown on his wonderful personality
and his marvelous creations, In this
respect the reader will not be disappointed in
this volume, and, what is more, its pertinent
criticism is dressed in a style forming the
most agreeable reading and conveying to the
mind not only lessons in art, but art in lessons.
LITERARY NOTES.
Rudyard Kipling's first
American story
will be printed in an early number of The
Century.
"Sentimental Tommy" is the name of Mr.
Harte's forthcoming novel, and "The Men
the Moss-Hag" the title of Mr. S. B. Crockett's new tale.
Bret Harte is writing a story of American
life and incident for The Ladies' Home
Journal, which will publish also Frank
Stockton's new stories. "Love Before Breakfast" and "As One Woman to Another."
A "Conversation" but between Conan
Doyle and Horace Hale, giving glimpses of
Dr. Doyle's home life and his methods of
work, and reporting his opinions on the
state of the novelist's art in England and
America at the present time, will appear in
Munsey's Magazine for November. In the
Some months ago it got into print that T.
Aldrich had been invited by the editor of
the Pall Mall Magazine to contribute a son
net filling "about a half and a half." Those
who know that a sonnet contains but fourteen lines had a good laugh at the editor's
expense. But the tables are turned, and
the editor has the laugh on his critics, for
over Mr. Aldrich's signature appears a full
sonnet occupying two pages. The trope, of
course, is very large; and on each page considerable space is filled by a picture.
The Writer in Our October number has some
very good suggestions for literary workers.
"More Inconsistencies of Illustration," "Placing Manuscripts," and "Queries" are among
the papers of this number. The Writer, Boston, Mass.
The American Enquirer and Railroad Journal in the October issue makes the announcement that hereafter the monthly called
Aeronautics will be incorporated in its pages
and will receive special attention. The American Engineer and Railroad Journal, 47 Cedar
Street, New York.
"The Urban Problem of Charity and the
Complexion of God," by John Graham Brooks.
"Unavoidable Boycotting," by Charles A. Reed,
and "The Failure of Biological Sociology," by
Simon N. Patten - are among the latest contributions, each published under separate
cover by the American Academy of Political
and Social Science, Philadelphia.
The Bookworm tells a amusing story of
Mr. Oscar Wilde and a certain poet who
shall be nameless. The bard complained
to the aesthete that a book of his had been
practically ignored by certain critics. "There
is a conspiracy of silence against my books!"
he said. "What should you do about it, if
you were I?" "Join it," was the answer.
Home and Country for October has a new
and highly attractive design for its cover
page and displays throughout signs of improvement. Its papers cover a wide range of topics and are very entertaining. Among
other contributions Dr. Frederic A. Cook
tells of "The Arctic Regions as a Summer
Resort." Joseph W. Kay, 63 East 37th
Street, New York.
October: The Hook News gives a portrait of George Du Maurier, the artist-author of "Trilby," with a sketch descriptive of his life and works. The usual collection of reviews of the month's books, a comprehensive list of new books and new editions, pictures from them, notes of authors' doings, with full announcements from the publishers for the holidays, make up a magazine that is a necessity for those who would be posted in things literary. John Wanamaker, Philadelphia.
At the recent auction sale in London of the effects of the late Maharajah Duleep Singh, there was sold a rare and quaint old Hindustani manuscript work on taming animals and birds, with illustrations drawn by hand. There was plenty of competition for it among the bidders, nearly all of whom retired from the contest when £10 guineas had been reached. Then the bidding became feverish, until at length the hammer fell at £430. Another native work, called "The Indian System of Hawking," with fine miniature drawings, fetched £65.
The October number of Donahoe's, coming out in the midst of the political campaign, has for its leading features three articles in answer to the question, "Which Party Should be Supported?" Mr. Thomas Dwight, in a striking article on "Sham Science," attacks Prof. Armstrong; and Rev. John Talbot Smith analyzes the character and works of Archbishop Corrigan, in the first of a series of articles on "Eminent American Prelates." There is also a complete story by the English novelist, Robert Dorr, and many other artistic attractions, stories, poems, and pictures. Donahoe's Magazine Company, 81 Washington Street, Boston.
Hall Caine recently said of "The Manxman": "Hardly one passage of it was written with pen in hand. I used to wake early in the morning, usually about 5 o'clock, prop myself up in bed, and, with closed eyes, think out my work for the day, until not only the thing took shape, but every passage found expression. About 8 o'clock, I would get up and hurriedly write down the words. This would occupy about an hour, and then I would do nothing but read until evening, when I spent another hour in revising or rewriting what I had written in the morning, and the rest of the night in planning the work for the following day." Recreation is the name of a bright monthly beginning its career this month. It is beautifully and liberally illustrated. There are six full-page illustrations and eight smaller ones, representing, in the main, outdoor sports, though blending with it some features of the family magazine. Among the more prominent articles in this number are "Alaska," by General John Gibbon, S.A.; "The Herd of South Mountain"; "How Trout Are Caught in California," by Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of Stanford University; "A Winter With the Cheyennos," by Captain H.H. Delas, U.S.A.; and "Turkey Shooting by Moonlight," Major C.J. Crane, U.S.A. Published at 216 William Street, New York.
Dr. R.M. Bucke, the ardent worshiper of Walt Whitman, is still engaged in swinging the censer. "Walt," he says in his recent Whitman Fellowship paper, "was pretty sure that the man Shakespeare never wrote the 'Shakespeare' plays, but he would not and did not commit himself to a positive declaration of opinion on the subject. His mode of dealing with a dubious matter of this kind was always by sidelong glances and instances. For this particular case, he had the following little anecdote: 'At a dinner party, a guest recited quite a long passage, then asked those present to say from whose works it was taken. Five or six, among them, pronounced positively that the lines were from Shakespeare. He said that he himself felt perfectly certain, and wondered that he could not place the lines, as he was at that time very familiar with the plays. No one guessed any other author. The passage was from Daedalus.'"
The frontispiece of the October Century is a fine portrait of Edmund Clarence Stedman. The opening article is "The Real Edwin Booth," being letters of the late actor, with an Introduction by his daughter, Edwin Booth Grossman. The article is the opening of a series of extracts from the "Life," which Mrs. Grossman is now preparing. In "The Eternal Gullible," Ernest Hart exposes some of the frauds which roam about under the name of hypnosis. Dr. Eggleston has an interesting paper on "Folk-Speech in America." Prince Wolseley gives "Echoes of the Parliament of Religions," "The Recollections of Aubrey Keene Vero" are prefaced by a short note by Mr. Woodberry. The bicycle articles continue, there is a war paper by Major General Fry and an "Artists' Adventure" by Castaigne. For fiction, there is the continuation of Mrs. Harrison's "Bachelor Maid" and short stories by Julia Seton and Nannie A. Cox. The Century Company, New York.

Indiscriminate Giving Increasing the Num

REV. D.D.ODELL PLEADS FOR A CHANGE
Moncr Spent In MnUlnir ( lift * Should lie
U eil In I'njiiieiit of Wnsr to the
I'nor tat Whom Umplnyjnenl
Should III ) l-'ouilili
At the Btlh Bden Bactlst church yestpr-
day morning the pastor , Rev. D.D. Odell ,
preached from the text : "Ye have the poor
with you always. " He said In part :
Pauperism has Its causes , and I believe , by
wise legislation , avoiding the errors of class
legislation on the one hand and socialism on
the other , the evil can be remedied.
I shall mention , In the first place , a few
causes which are leading to this distorted
Btate of society. 1 shall not discuss them at
length. This It , not the prerogative of the
pulplt , but of the legislature. In the first
place , without doubt one of the prime causes
In the land Is the selfish basis on which
society Is built. The law of trade makes It
possible for men to grow up like mushrooms
In a single night to vast possessions , nnd
vast Influence , and man's selfish nature
pushes him on toward the accumulation of
riches. Mammonlsm Is one of the curses of
the Anglo-Saxon race. The law of exchange
JB , "Get as much as you possibly can for the
least possible return. " The rich not alone
are ' actuated by this principle. The laboring
man'demands the greatest possible wages for
the least possible work , and the rich man
demand a a maximum amount of labor for the
least possible return. This principle makes
capital the open and avowed enemy of labor
and labor the open enemy of capital.
The struglo goes on ; the battle wages hard
all Over our country , and In the tussle usu
ally the laboring man cornea out second best.
The rage of Mammon' Is almost universal.
Parents seeking alliance for their children
are desirous that they shall marry Into rich
families ; no matter what other qualification
la lacking , If the pocket book Is long1. Pa
rents desiring positions for their sons will
seel the most lucrative , no matter to what
temptations they are exposed , and It some
times occurs that " well-meaning1 parents thus
sacrifice their "sons and daughters on the
altar of Mammon.
HARM OF UNWISE OIVINO.
Another cause of the present wretched con
dition of tens of thousands of our people is
false charity. Indiscriminate giving will
pauperize people. The rich , thnt they may
throw a sop to conscience when they are
frosting sumptuously every day , and well
aware thnt thousands have scarcely a crust
to keep the wolf from the door , will give in
such a way as to destroy the manhood nnd
womanhood of those whom they wish to re
lieve. What the poor need today Is not to
bo treated as If they were maimed nnd
needy , but to be furnished with some way by
which they can earn on honest livelihood
Last winter the Indiscriminate charity of
well meaning people of Omaha created more
paupers than they relieved. "Well meaning
women , who are supposed to have finer sen
sibilities than men. hunted up people on
whom to bestow their benefactions , and the
result Is this winter we shall have a fresh
brood that we pauperized last winter.
There ought to be , and I am advised that a
movement Is on foot to that end. a unifica
tion of all churches , that every case of appli
cation for relief may bo Investigated. No
man , who can possibly support himself ,
( hould be supported by his fellow man. It
destroys his manhood.
Take for Instance the result from history.
In the days of Jnllua Caejsar 180,000 of the
Homan citizens were furnished with free
corn. Thlsnpmher , steadily Increased until
the time of Justinian , when S00000 | of that
noble race had bsen pauperized br the public
freely distributing corn , and they then'ide-
mandea not dnly torn. tiUt wine and ment.
The result waa tha.t Hotnei , became a great
pqor house. The noble virtue of the Romans
was dissipated. Diirliiu the m.ddlo ages.
when Indiscriminate giving s.in
of the Christian
church was ono of Its most prominent tea-
lures , an.l monasteries all over Europe ae
came depots of supply for mendicant vll-
llana that roamed from IIoa
place to place too
lazy to eara their llvlnc. Europe was , in
deed , n great pauper house , nnd just to tine
extent that Europe was pauperized. Just tote
that extent she became barberous
, effeminate
and wicked.
In the days of Queen Elizabeth there were
passed poor laws , which contemplated the
relief of the poor , which In a few years In

tent that parliamentary Investigation and the
changing of the laws was necessary.
REMEDY SUGGESTED. '
What nro we going to do ? In the first
place , we must carefully discriminate In our
relief of the poor. Not one In ten of those
making application for assistance
ought to
be assisted by giving them supplies. Wo
may assist them ; we may relieve them , but
In
other ways than by giving them food.
One of the great mistakes that the Christian
church has made Is to suppose that relief ,
for the poor means simply the giving of
food and raiment. "Is not the life more
than meat , nnd Hid body more than rai
ment ? " Is there not n soul within ? Throw
open the churches ; throw open the libraries ;
throw open your homes , and Invite the poor '
Into your homes Hint
they may catch on
Inspiration that will raise them up rather
than drag them down. Bid them welcome
In 'the ' churches and make- them feel that
one of the chief prerogatives of the preacher
of Jesus Christ Is to break the bread of
eternal lifeto the poor.
I believe the time will soon come when
such Institutions as Rescue hall and other
private Institutions of benevolence of
every
city will be dispensed with entirely. One by
ono they should be blotted out. Keep only
what la necessary for the few on whom lls'
fortune has been visited
and who
nro unable -
able to support themselves. What shall unwe
do with these- people ? Combine ) the charities
Into ono ' great Institution , called an employ
ment 'bureau , If you please. Take the $22-
000 that was , paid out by Douglas county
last year fcr the relief of the poor , add to It
from M00,000 , to $200,000 that went through
prlvato and public charity Institutions , use
this amount In employing- these men In level
ing the hills nnd grading the city , In buildIng -
Ing magnificent roads Into the country , and
If you wish to extend the principle farther ;
than this , let us have a large standing army ,
not such an armyas England owns for the
purpose of war. but let us have a standing
army of 2,000.000 or 6,000,000 , as the case
may he , whoso business It shall be to dam
the Nlobrar , and t'lttlerivers and other
rivers , and dig canals to Irrigate the- arid
lands of our country. . DUe them employ
ment ; use the money that * wo thus spend to
pauperize these men to pay them for their
honest toll , and in this way we shall see
our country grow purer and richer , and there
shall be peace , prosperity and plenty In the
land.

degrade the mind and pollute the soul ; shun
those which speak slightingly of religion and

Yesterday the tlurllngton began , the regular
running of trains to Billings. Mont , , and by
way of the Northern Pacific to Helena , Spo
kane. Uuttc , Seattle , Tacortm and Portland and
all other Montana , northern Idaho and PuRet
Bound points , thereby giving to the railroad
world another transcontinental line , which
wlP playno Inconsequential part In the- mat
ter of freight and passenger traffic of the
future. There was considerable of a crowd
of people at the Union depot to see the train
and the people who would make the first
run over the new extension of the Burlington
from Sheridan , \Vyo. , to Hillings , Mont. , a
distance of 144 miles , which has been con
structed this year , the construction gang
laying on an average a mlle and a half of
track a day.
The building ot this line Is of Incalculable
benefit to Omaha , Kansas City. St. Louis ,
Chicago , bringing a territory of some
1,500 miles In extent almost to the doors of
thesecities. . It Is the short line between
Omaha { ind Helena by 295 miles , Omaha and
Butte by 225 miles , Omaha and Spokane by
385 miles , Omaha and Seattle by fifty miles ,
Omaha nnd Taconm by fifty-five miles , KanTl
sas City and Helena by 385 miles , Kansas
City and Butte by 315 miles , Kansas City
nnd Spokaneby 474 miles , the mileage to
these points being equally shortened from
St , Louis.
The country to the northwest has been
almost a sealud book to the wholesale .and
jobbing interests of the big cities along'tho'whl
Missouri , as well as In Illinois and the more
remote east. St. Paul and Minneapolis have
enjoyed a monopoly of this territory now for
tliu first time brought Into civilization's rltn
by the progressive pioneer methods of the
Burlington system of rails , which now covers
quite 7,000 miles.
The train which left yesterday at 4:50 : p.
in. Is carded for very * fast time , scheduled
to make the distance between Omaha and
Billings , 893 miles , In twenty-nine hours , or
nearly 31 miles and hour , which , through
the Black Hills country , the route traversed
by the IlurJIngton , Is regarded as exceedingly
fust ni nn Inc. Passengers leaving Omaha at
1:50 : p. m. will arrive In Billings the followttlc
Ing evening at 9:45 : p. m. , making ; close con
nections with the Northern Pacific for the
Sound country. The New Short Line , as It
will bo known henceforth. Is more than a
mere short line ; It Is a scenic route , perhaps
the most Interesting across the continent ,
introducing the traveler to historic battle-
fields , which , until now , have only been seen
by the wagoner and ranchman or tourist will-
Ing to accept the disadvantages of horseback
and wagon travel.
HISTORIC GROUND TRAVERSED.
The road travels the entire length of the
Crow reservation and permission of the
United States government had to bs obtained
as well as the consent of the Crow chiefs beTh
fore the work of building the road was bejjc
gm , and no more Interested lot of people >
could be found than the Crows were during
the progress of grading and
laying the track I ,
and when this first train rushes through
the Crow country the re.d man will wake up ;
towh realize that the time Is not far distant
when the white man will be asking congress :
to throw open the Crow reservation to iMilte
settlement , and. ship the present possessors
ofCu this historic soil , upon which General
Custer died , as well as his brave boys In
blue , to their brethren In the Indian Terri
tory. The New Short Wne

Already Irrigation ditches have bean

ant'clpatlon of the coming of
farmers and planters , and o/ECheme la now
ready for the Irrigation of '
a much 'greater :
body : of land , which will add to the tillable
land of the United States
enough farming
property < to start a new empire In the north
west. The road runs though a country :
rich In coal and other minerals and through
the greatest cattle graying
section of the
United States. Hundreds of thousands of
head of cattle grow fat on the "blue stem"
grass which grows In abundance on the plains
and In the valleys. The line passes through
the valleys of the Little nnd Big Goose
creeks , , , the Tongue river , the Little
Horn ; } , where Cutter made his stand agalns"t
the Sioux , across and down the Big Horn to
the valley of the Yellowstone , which Is
brought almost Into the back yard of the
Missouri river towns on account of shorten
ing up the distance.
The new line , wh'ch Is to become a large
factor In the commerce of the Missouri and
Mississippi valleys was Inaugurated out

Indiscriminate Giving Increases the Number of Local Paupers Year by Year.
REV. D.D. ODELL PLEADS FOR A CHANGE
Money Spent in Manufacturing Lift Should Lie
Utilized in the Relief of Want to the
Poor that Whom Understanding
Should abound in Council
At the First Baptist church yesterday morning, the pastor, Rev. D.D. Odell, preached from the text: "Ye have the poor with you always." He said in part:
Pauperism has its causes, and I believe, by wise legislation, avoiding the errors of class legislation on the one hand and socialism on the other, the evil can be remedied.
I shall mention, in the first place, a few causes which are leading to this distorted state of society. I shall not discuss them at length. This is not the prerogative of the pulpit, but of the legislature. In the first place, without doubt one of the prime causes in the land is the selfish basis on which society is built. The law of trade makes it possible for men to grow up like mushrooms in a single night to vast possessions, and vast influence, and man's selfish nature pushes him on toward the accumulation of riches. Materialism is one of the curses of the Anglo-Saxon race. The law of exchange is, "Get as much as you possibly can for the least possible return." The rich not alone are acted by this principle. The laboring man demands the greatest possible wages for the least possible work, and the rich man demands a maximum amount of labor for the least possible return. This principle makes capital the open and avowed enemy of labor and labor the open enemy of capital.
The struggle goes on; the battle wages hard all over our country, and in the tussle usually the laboring man comes out second best. The rage of Mammon is almost universal.
Parents seeking alliance for their children are desirous that they shall marry into rich families; no matter what other qualification is lacking, if the pocketbook is long. Parents desiring positions for their sons will seek the most lucrative, no matter to what temptations they are exposed, and it sometimes occurs that "well-meaning" parents thus sacrifice their sons and daughters on the altar of Mammon.
HARM OF UNWISE GIVING.
Another cause of the present wretched condition of tens of thousands of our people is false charity. Indiscriminate giving will pauperize people. The rich, that they may throw a sop to conscience when they are living sumptuously every day, and well aware that thousands have scarcely a crust to keep the wolf from the door, will give in such a way as to destroy the manhood and womanhood of those whom they wish to relieve. What the poor need today is not to be treated as if they were maimed and needy, but to be furnished with some way by which they can earn an honest livelihood.
Last winter the indiscriminate charity of well-meaning people of Omaha created more paupers than they relieved. "Well-meaning" women, who are supposed to have finer sensitivities than men, hunted up people on whom to bestow their benefactions, and the result is this winter we shall have a fresh brood that we pauperized last winter.
There ought to be, and I am advised that a movement is on foot to that end, a unification of all churches, that every case of application for relief may be investigated. No man who can possibly support himself should be supported by his fellow man. It destroys his manhood.
Take for instance the result from history. In the days of Julius Caesar 180,000 of the Roman citizens were furnished with free corn. This number steadily increased until the time of Justinian, when 600,000 of that noble race had been pauperized by the public freely distributing corn, and they then demanded not only corn, but wine and meat. The result was that Rome became a great poorhouse. The noble virtue of the Romans was dissipated. During the middle ages, when indiscriminate giving was one of the most prominent features of the Christian church, monasteries all over Europe became depots of supply for mendicant villagers that roamed from town to town too lazy to earn their living. Europe was, indeed, a great pauper house, and just to that extent that Europe was pauperized, just to that extent she became barbarous, effeminate, and wicked.
In the days of Queen Elizabeth there were passed poor laws, which contemplated the relief of the poor, which in a few years increased pauperism to such an alarming extent that parliamentary investigation and the changing of the laws was necessary.
REMEDY SUGGESTED.
What are we going to do? In the first place, we must carefully discriminate in our relief of the poor. Not one in ten of those making application for assistance ought to be assisted by giving them supplies. We may assist them; we may relieve them, but in other ways than by giving them food.
One of the great mistakes that the Christian church has made is to suppose that relief for the poor means simply the giving of food and raiment. "Is not the life more than meat, and the body more than raiment?" Is there not a soul within? Throw open the churches; throw open the libraries; throw open your homes, and invite the poor into your homes that they may catch on inspiration that will raise them up rather than drag them down. Bid them welcome in the churches and make them feel that one of the chief prerogatives of the preacher of Jesus Christ is to break the bread of eternal life to the poor.
I believe the time will soon come when such institutions as rescue homes and other private institutions of benevolence in every city will be dispensed with entirely. One by one they should be blotted out. Keep only what is necessary for the few on whom ill fortune has been visited and who are unable to support themselves. What shall we do with these people? Combine all the charities into one great institution, called an employment bureau, if you please. Take the $22,000 that was paid out by Douglas County last year for the relief of the poor, add to it from $100,000, to $200,000 that went through private and public charity institutions, use this amount in employing these men in leveling the hills and grading the city, in building magnificent roads into the country, and if you wish to extend the principle farther than this, let us have a large standing army, not such an army as England owns for the purpose of war, but let us have a standing army of 2,000,000 or 6,000,000, as the case may be, whose business it shall be to dam the Missouri and other rivers, and dig canals to irrigate the arid lands of our country. Give them employment; use the money that we thus spend to pauperize these men to pay them for their honest toil, and in this way we shall see our country grow purer and richer, and there shall be peace, prosperity, and plenty in the land.
A SOLDIER'S SUCCESSION.
Dr. Butler lines up the service
a shipment
of the Thurlow's Battalion.
The Thurlow Battalion, sixty in number, under the command of Lieutenant Hayward, responded to the invitation of the chaplain, Rev. Dr. Butler, to be the guests of the St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church at the morning service yesterday.
The fine company of men, in a body in the center of the church, their colors planted in the chancel, the preacher, Dr. Butler, also in his chaplain's uniform, gave a characteristically martial appearance, the tone of which was sustained throughout the service.
Instead of the first hymn, a selection was rendered by the company's glee club, led by Mr. Carl Hoffman, the soloist of the Thurlow Battalion, singing during the offering.
The chaplain's text was: "No man that warreth entangleth himself, that he may please him that hath chosen him to be a soldier," In part, Dr. Duller said, "There is a charm in this word soldier, the inspiration of a trumpet. Paul, an apostle of peace, exhorts Timothy, a pastoral bishop, to endure hardness as a good soldier, and subscribes himself to Philemon, "Your fellow soldier." Watts set the song of the church, "I am a Soldier." Whittier, a friend and non-combatant, casts the heroine of his most heroic poem, Barbara Frietchlen, in the midst of "the brown ranks" and commands, The father of his country exhorts his sons to old-fashioned stands, saying, "The best security of peace is to be prepared for war."
The day for the soldier is not done, night and freedom are not delicate nymphs by Sylvan streams, but mailed warriors in struggling ranks. Since the June roses bloomed, the soldier was required in our city to check the incendiary conflagrations that had consumed millions in capital and threatened the foundations of our government. General O. O. Howard, in his final report just-issued, preceding his retirement from service by age, urges the increase of the army. So our citizen soldiery have a higher use than to adorn a holiday. They are a healthful check upon a riot spirit latent, which, unawared, might materialize.
Hence we welcome the soldier sons of our city, and with Paul consider the qualities in the soldier that please the commander and the civilian.
His physical bearing, soldier is synonymous with bodily soundness and symmetry. What pride has the emperor of Germany in his bodyguard, the queen in the Coldstream guards, or the link watch? It pleases the Creator, who chose us for soldiers in life's campaign, if we honor him in our bodies, which he has chosen for his own embodiment.
Call this life what you will, adverse contestions engage every faculty. Victory, plaudits, "honorable mention," require every sense to be at its finest, and each function at its firmest. It will not please the Creator Commander that we put burdens on our backs, scales on our vision, lead in our brains, a tremor in our nerves, muddle out men mentality, march ourselves into a morass, struggle, sink, disappear. Yet see, brigades, divisions, army corps of men enrolled on the roster of life to be soldiers so do. What the cohorts of Rome under chosen consuls could not do to Hannibal and his conquering hosts, the luxury and licentiousness of the winter camp at Padua did do, and, defeated, he disappeared from history. Sad to see, those "chosen to be soldiers" enmeshed by habits, so entrapped that they never get on a fair field with their foe. Habits of inertness, profitless and expensive amusement, the theater habit, the saloon habit, the nicotine habit how steal a night surprise on a foe. Do you carry always a burning torch in the teeth? Entangled in the gambling habit, which sucks like the tentacles of the devil fish, habits that transform the comrades of Ulysses into swine by their Circean songs. Comrades, avoid the handicaps of habit; put off the incubus, and put on the armors. March in the spirit of a celestial campaign. It will please Him who chose us to be soldiers that we put our wills under a superior wisdom for discipline; discipline that welds separated men into a mobilized mass, making a troop the masters of a tribe, a military company the quellers of a mob.
It would please Him who has chosen us to be soldiers that we possess "esprit du corps" one spirit for the body, pride in the command. This is the purpose of the uniform, to distinguish the individual and emphasize the body. Uniform of one form the cement of comradeship, that shares the blanket in bivouac, the canteen and campfire, brothers in battle, hospital or retreat.
It will please the Christ captain who chose us to be soldiers if we cultivate this social "esprit du corps," an enthusiasm for man as a class, for whom he died; not saving ourselves, entangling our march with loot, saving self, neglectful of our fellows.
So trust God, so love Him, so look on life's soldiership. God creates no sorrow, no hardship, no death. "By one man sin entered and death by sin." Do good soldiers under the discipline and direction of Christ Jesus, captain of salvation. Hear his cheering, courage-giving assurance: "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, as I have overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne."
Savvidgo on "Reading."
Rev. C.V. Savidge of the People's church preached yesterday morning on "Reading." Said he:
"Many a man has been led to his death by a bad book or paper. Shun the books which degrade the mind and pollute the soul; shun those which speak slightingly of religion and morals. Read the Bible and the best books. Read above you. De Quincey says we ought to know 'the literature of power,' whose dynamic, energy may pass into our spiritual beings, like iron into the blood."
That Joyful Feeling
With the exhilarating sense of renewed health and strength and internal cleanliness which follows the use of Syrup of Figs is unknown to the few who have not progressed beyond the old time medicines and the cheap substitutes sometimes offered, but never accepted by the well-informed.
Two large houses attended upon the performance of "41144" yesterday at the Fifteenth Street theater, and were pleased with the entertainment afforded. There is less of an attempt at a plot in this new farce than in anything that can be recalled, although it is decidedly reminiscent of a "Crazy Patch," "The Kindergarten," and shows that were popular five years ago. The company embraces several well-known farce comedy favorites, William H. Maxwell, Elsie Henderson, Monte Collins, who easily carries off the chief honors of the play, Miss Norma Wills and Miss Eleanora Mann, the latter, the strength of the company. The play might with entire truthfulness be called "The Passing Show," as the reason for "41144" is not at all apparent until the last act, when everybody dreams a dream which is a "pointer" for Policy Pete, and he "works" the kid as only a born policy follower knows how. The specialties are creditable and were well received.

THROUGH HISTORIC FIELDS
Burlington's "How Line" to the Coast Opened
Yesterday,
SHORT TIME AND GRAND SCENERY
This is What the Company Promises for this
Division Immediately Vicinity of Where
Guest and Illinois River Meets
Picnic Traversed.
Yesterday the Burlington began, the regular
running of trains to Billings, Mont., and by
way of the Northern Pacific to Helena, Spokane, Butte, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland and
all other Montana, northern Idaho and Puget
Bound points, thereby giving to the railroad
world another transcontinental line, which
will play no insignificant part in the matter of freight and passenger traffic of the
future. There was considerable of a crowd
of people at the Union depot to see the train
and the people who would make the first
run over the new extension of the Burlington
from Sheridan, Wyo., to Billings, Mont., a
distance of 144 miles, which has been constructed this year, the construction gang
laying on an average a mile and a half of
track a day.
The building of this line is of incalculable
benefit to Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis,
Chicago, bringing a territory of some
1,500 miles in extent almost to the doors of
these cities. It is the short line between
Omaha and Helena by 295 miles, Omaha and
Butte by 225 miles, Omaha and Spokane by
385 miles, Omaha and Seattle by 50 miles,
Omaha and Tacoma by 55 miles, Kansas City
and Helena by 385 miles, Kansas City and Butte by 315 miles, Kansas City
and Spokane by 474 miles, the mileage to
these points being equally shortened from
St. Louis.
The country to the northwest has been
almost a sealed book to the wholesale and
jobbing interests of the big cities along the
Missouri, as well as in Illinois and the more
remote east. St. Paul and Minneapolis have
enjoyed a monopoly of this territory now for
the first time brought into civilization's reach
by the progressive pioneer methods of the
Burlington system of rails, which now covers
quite 7,000 miles.
The train which left yesterday at 4:50 p.m.
Is carded for very fast time, scheduled
to make the distance between Omaha and
Billings, 893 miles, in twenty-nine hours, or
nearly 31 miles and hour, which, through
the Black Hills country, the route traversed
by the Burlington, is regarded as exceedingly
fast. Passengers leaving Omaha at
1:50 p.m. will arrive in Billings the following
evening at 9:45 p.m., making close connections with the Northern Pacific for the
Sound country. The New Short Line, as It
will be known henceforth, is more than a
mere short line; It is a scenic route, perhaps
the most interesting across the continent,
introducing the traveler to historic battle-
fields, which, until now, have only been seen
by the wagoner and ranchman or tourist willing
to accept the disadvantages of horseback
and wagon travel.
HISTORIC GROUND TRAVERSED.
The road travels the entire length of the
Crow reservation and permission of the
United States government had to be obtained
as well as the consent of the Crow chiefs before the work of building the road was begun, and no more interested lot of people
could be found than the Crows were during
the progress of grading and
laying the track.
and when this first train rushes through
the Crow country, the red man will wake up
to know that the time is not far distant
when the white man will be asking congress:
to throw open the Crow reservation to settle
settlement, and ship the present possessors
of this historic soil, upon which General
Custer died, as well as his brave boys in
blue, to their brethren in the Indian Territory. The New Short Line
opens for settlement hundreds of thousands of
land
, acres of land
which need only water to make them productive.
Already irrigation ditches have been
put in in anticipation of the coming of
farmers and planters, and a scheme is now
ready for the irrigation of
a much greater:
body of land, which will add to the tillable
land of the United States
enough farming
property to start a new empire in the northwest. The road runs through a country
rich in coal and other minerals and through
the greatest cattle grazing
section of the
United States. Hundreds of thousands of
head of cattle grow fat on the "blue stem"
grass which grows in abundance on the plains
and in the valleys. The line passes through
the valleys of the Little and Big Goose
creeks, the Tongue river, the Little
Horn; where Custer made his stand against
the Sioux, across and down the Big Horn to
the valley of the Yellowstone, which is
brought almost into the back yard of the
Missouri river towns on account of shortening
up the distance.
The new line, which will become a large
factor in the commerce of the Missouri and
Mississippi valleys was inaugurated without
any flourish of trumpets, but in that let,
conservative manner that has characterized
the Burlington management in the past.
HIGHLY ELKIHORN FLYER GOES THROUGH
Against Difficulty.
The new Black Hills fast train on the Elk-
horn arrived here this evening on time. The
run from Omaha was made in nine hours and
ten minutes, including stops at local stations,

ECHOES FROM THE ANTE ROOM.
Chief Features of the Recent Good Templars
Grand Exalted Session.
At the recent twenty-ninth annual session
of the grand lodge of Good Templars,
held at Columbus, It was decided to Increase
the salaries of the offices. The debt of the
organization has been entirely paid off,
chiefly on account of the sacrifices of the
officers. Another change was in the election
of the meetings of the district lodges. These
occurred quarterly, but henceforth they will
be semi-annual.
The refusal of Charles H, Watts to run for
the office of grand secretary on the grounds
of ill health and press of business has occasioned considerable "regret" among Good Templars.
"Mr. Watts has held the office for seven
years and worked hard to clear off the debt.
He said that he would hold the office until
the debt was paid off and would then retire.
The addresses of Dr. Mann and Mr. Wolfenberg on the work of the order were
very interesting, as was also the former's
school of instruction and drill.
Representatives were elected to the upcoming session, which meets at Boston next June. The regulars were A. G. Wolfenberg and Miss Anna M. Saumliers of Lincoln and the alternates T. L. Coombs of Omaha and Mrs. S. K. Long of Madison. The next session will meet at Albion.
On next Thursday night, Life Boat lodge will elect officers. A public Installation and entertainment will be given the following Thursday in the lodge rooms in the Patterson block. Efforts are to be made to make Life Boat lodge the banner lodge again. It has held that title for three years, but lost it last year.
Celtic America I.CHRHO.
The Iowa branch of the Celtic American league flourishes. The Council Bluffs division, organized last May, has 478 members on the roll. It is a secret organization, created to advance the cause of home rule, giving Ireland a national autonomy as nearly like that of a state in the American union as practicable. The following was adopted at a recent meeting:
"Home rule for all. The powerful American contingent, which has always actively pushed the cause, are determined that no diminution of their labors shall be allowed. While this league absolutely forbids any question of religious character to influence it, it insists that naturalized citizens shall not be deprived of any right of citizenship that may in time lead to other improvements and especially Ireland, the blessings enjoyed in this country. We reach no antagonism. The organization prescribes a religious affiliation and shall be open to all, regardless of religious belief, who are friendly to the central idea of the league - Ireland's emancipation from oppression.
A public reception will be held soon, at which prominent speakers from the east will deliver addresses.
The divisions in Des Moines, Dubuque, Burlington, Keokuk, etc., are very strong.
Secret Order of the Star.
Alpha camp, Woodmen of the World, gave a most enjoyable Thursday night at Myrtle hall. An excellent literary program was rendered, including an address by J. C. Root, founder of the order. After the entertainment, the guests danced an excellent program of twelve numbers. The ball was crowded to its capacity.
Gate City tent No. 60, Knights of the Maccabees, was recently organized in this city. It meets every Thursday night in the Patterson block. The tent is ably officered and is working hard to push forward. Recently an entertainment was given, at which an excellent literary and musical program was rendered, and refreshments served.
Court Omaha No. 1091, Independent Order of Foresters, has been working under a special charter of dispensation the last two months, and the result has been a great increase in membership. On November 10, the court will give an open house in its hall in the Patterson block. Refreshments will be served. The event of the evening will be an address on the order and its benefits.
The supreme executive council of the order has just issued a finely illustrated history of the order, complete from the beginning to the present time.
The S. T. and A. Athletic club has changed its rooms from 1612 Chicago Street to the Midland State Bank building, where it has very fine quarters. The initial ball of the season was given recently and was very successful.
The fifth annual Halloween social, under the auspices of the Clan Gordon, will be given at Washington hall Wednesday evening. The committee in charge is sparing neither time nor expense in order to make this the most successful social yet given, having procured some of the best talent in the city to take part in the entertainment, which will consist of musical selections, vocal and instrumental, recitations, etc., after which all who wish may enjoy a dance.
Thursday evening, the members of George Crook post No. 262 held a campfire at Idle the hall. Comrade Hull presided. A very interesting program was provided, consisting of speeches by several old soldiers. Mr. Emslie furnished some excellent music on the violin, accompanied by his daughter on the piano; Miss Conner recited "Barbara Frietchle," and Miss Winograd, "The Blue and the Gray."
Rheumatism is primarily caused by acidity of the blood, and Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies the blood and thus cures the disease.
FROM SOUTH OMAHA.
Muffle City Society Hosts its Annual Thanksgiving Dinner.
The social season has been fairly opened in South Omaha. During the last week, a number of parties were given.

Mrs. D. L. Holmes gave a novel entertainment and dinner to a host of her South Omaha lady friends on Wednesday afternoon. It was a high tea. The dinner was served by a Chinese count and the daughters of Mr. Smith and Mr. Holmes acted as maids of honor. The refreshments were served in the very latest style. Special mention should be made of the musical selections rendered by Mr. Rudolph Engel and Mr. Sigurd Landsberg. The former performed excellently upon the viola, flute, and the latter upon the piano. Those present were Misses F. M. Smith, Carl Smith, L. C. Gibson, C. H. Watts, J. C. Carley, Hiram Hall, Hollis Hogeland, A. L. Bralnard, B. H. Doud, A. N. Kelly, Amy Wier, William Sage, J. M.

The evening was spent at whist. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Holmes, Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Doud, Mrs. J. S. Tanner of Fullerton, and Mrs. C. G. Jaycox.
See the young lady minstrels tonight at the Boyd.
SINGING SOCIETIES' CONCERT
FredericksburgengenieurundAthletik by ErfTHKpTulient Musikalisch Harmonisch, Germania hall of late has not contained a larger or more representative German audience than it did Saturday night when the Liederkranz and Saengerbund gave a grand concert in the building. Not a vacant chair was to be seen, and even standing room was contested for.
The orchestra opened the program with an overture from Nicolai. Saengerbund, Liederkranz, and the Columbus Maennerchor participated in the next number, giving the sangertreffen song, "Am Alter der Wahrheit." Both were loudly applauded, but when Prof. Hans Albert, ably accompanied by Herr Gahm, delighted his listeners with a violin solo, the "Ave Maria" from Schubert, the applause knew no bounds for a while. An encore could only appease the audience. Admirably did the local master of music accomplish this in the second piece.
Creditably rendered was "Mein Schilflein, Treibt im Walten" by the Columbus Maennerchor, and numerous other selections by the mixed choir of the Liederkranz, the Saengerbund, and by Prof. Gahm. The whole was concluded with a ball.
Tumors' next Terminator.
The Omaha turnverein will be present at its next entertainment on November 4, "Liederkranz," in which Miss Selma Lindeman, Amelia Greve turners; P. Knissar, Frederick William Altstadt and Miss E. Burney, will appear. Other attractions are also on the program for the evening.

iiml Ciur llol < ! rcgc ,
When the present campaign opened Majors
boldly asserted that he was certain of belnff
elected by a majority of 20,000. Four weeks
nco Iila managers cut down the figures to
10,000. Last week , nfler hearing reports
from every quarter of the state , nnd after
making a careful estimate , based upon n
poll of many counties , the committee conten
tented Itself with claiming a. plurality of
6,000. This week every Indication points tea
a landslide to Judge"llolcomb. The managers
of the Majors campaign nro no longer con
fident. While Chairman Morrlll sends bom
bastic announcements to the Inter-Ocean ,
claiming the state by 20,000 , plurality , the
fact la that neither himself nor nny ot his
associates have any hope of electing Majors ,
The reports received at headquarters grow
worse nnd worse as the campaign drawsto
a close , and some ol the worst reports come
i from. Iho county In which Colonel Itussell
makes his home , where. Instead of adding
strensth to the ticket , ho Is a dead weight ,
and is pulling his running mate , Tom Majors ,
down with him. While It Is true that repubI'
llcan meetings have been largely attended
In some parts of tlio state. It Is also true
that the votora have maintained a sullen
* * * nnd most ominous disposition toward the
htid of the ticket whenever he has been
bro-jght into play.
In several districts bargains have been
made lo trade voles for democratic candidates
for Ihe legislature for votes for Tom Majors ,
The Majortt men. In their desperation , nro
willing to sacrlllco the hope of electing a
republican United. States senator to the suellti
cess of the B. & M. candidate for governor ,
The deal Is already made In Otoe county ,
where Sinclair , Iho democratic candidate for
the leclslature. Is to receive votes from the
Majors crowd. In rqturn for1 votes for Majors
from the democrats. The Irade , If successi
fully carried out , will elect John Sinclair , the
administration democrat running against Orttv
" " v ten , A similar deal has "been made In Lancaster -
caster county , where a note , half of warn
ing and half of commendation , has been
sounded by the Ucniielt News In the followAI
Ing paragraph :
Votes for Majors are offered In exchange
for votes for the combine legislative ticket
by numerous politicians In this county. To
many republicans , who realize the impor
tance ot the election , of u. governor , this
trade seems advantageous , They regard
the county ticket us i > ufe , with votes to
ppare and Irmmlne It a wise deul to trade
n legislative vote for u vote fgt Mo. Jaw
ASIde from Its being unrepublican , trading-
In this manner is a dangerous thing. Of
course , each Individual thinks only his Vote
Is being * traded in this manner , nnd the
result wilt be one vote gained to Mujors
nt ( ho expense of the county legislative
ticket.
CAMl'AION UUHKAU EFFORTS PAIL.
Whole tons of Judge. Holcomb's alleged
mortgage record have been distributed broad-
cant over the state , nnd several hundred
columns of nnll-Iloaewnler blackwash have
been turned out by the fake mills , all for Hie
purpose of distracting the attention of the
voters from the real Issues , of the campaign.
The attempt has Jjeen a dismal failure , as
dismal * a failure ns Uio.effort tomaka JU ap
pear thnt the fcole Issue la whether Rosewater -
water shall be. crowned dictator of Nebraska
on the 6th of next November. The Wlsner
Chronicle , n republican newspaper , hits tlio
bull's eye In the following comment on the
Delator business :
Borne- men are exhorting their fellows to
deliver the state from Hoscwatorlsni , but
Ihcy have no scruples agullist IJotdreffelsm.
Thy editor of Thfl Hee must lie Hhown Hint
he cannot dictate , J > ut the manager of the

Btate-7 KosQWuter'p efforts have always
been iiffnln I n.onopoly . ; lUldr ge s the head
of the most gigantic nnd oppressive cor
poration in the state , lloscwuter can oblige
no one to patronize him to the amount of

Nebraska nnd they have been helpl H < to

Holilrege nominates. The Issue Is not llose-
waterlsm against HolUregclsm. It la the
people against cotporatlonlsrn. and Hose-
water la only onu of the people.
The next things In order are the roorbacks
and campaign canards which the Majors man
agers have gotten up regardless of expense
and veracity. These canards are Intended
lo confuse nnd mislead the voter , One story
which Is to bo circulated within a day or so
In Ihore counties In which there Is n large
foreign population , Is to the effect that
Judge Holcomb Is a member of theA. . P. A.
Dy circulating this false report the fake writ
ers hope to place Judge Holcomb In the saino *
boat with Tom Majors. As a matter of
fact Judge Holcomb Is a Protestant and t
member In good standing In the Christian
church , and never has been and is not a
member of th& A. P. A. , and has never aim-
luted with any secret political order or
Boclety. _
SENTIMKNTS1 < ' A SECTION HAND.
As an Instance of tlio Intense Indignation
prevailing In all parts of Nebraska over hon
attempt of Hie railroads to coerce their em
ployes into voting for Majors , the- following
letter , written to The- Dee by a section hand
on the I ) & M. In Gage county , may be cited l
To the Editor of The Rco :
Yesterday IJan Ccok and John Dwyer of
the U. & M. 11. H. were In this bailiwick
nnd they demanded that U must be Majors ,
Ye gods , for the llrst time In my life I heur
n. democrat must vote for n republican erne
lose his Job. God irv henvenl Has It come
to this , nnd must bankers und business
men's association rule and a free ballot
denied ?
The foregoing IB somewhat crude as to
rhetoric , and the construction of Hie sen
tences may bo a little liberal , but the letter
represents the ccutlmcnts ot a humble laborer
borer who still has the manhood to protest
against the outrageous attempt of his em
ployers to dlctnte the manner In which inhe
shall cast Ills ballot. Ho signs liU full
name to his letter , and gives permission to
UKU It If necessary , but to print the signature
ivould simply result In his discharge , and
hence the nameIs withheld. Hut tha letter
Is an evidence of the ucntlmont of the great
masses of the wage earners of the state
who have been threatened with the loss of
tholr positions If they do- not vote for the
railroad candidate for governor.
PASS URIBEUY PUUSUED ,
Remonstrances and protests are still pourIng -

The Chadron Signal refers to tile scheme
In the following pointed paragraph :
The attempt of Doc Leas to organize the
"business Interests" In Chndron to help
the Tom Majors-Tobias Castor combination
Isn miserable failure , Theie are plenty of
business men , nu well as working men , in
this : city who will vote for Judge Holcomb.
The , removal of the Chadron land olilce to
Alliance at the dictation cf Tobias Castor
Is lee fresh In the minds of our citizens for
them to pull any C & M. railroad chest
nuts i out ot the fire. In this case the people
won'i ialt any of Dr , Leas' medicine. The

The right of Omaha wholesale merchants
to atempt to Interfere with the personal
choice , ot the people of DIB Unte la dls-
cuwed by the PInlnview News :
What rlKht has the wholesaler of Omaha ,
or any other city for that matter , to array
himself against his patrons and exert every
endeavor to obev thu wishes of the rail
roads ? The election will noon be over , but.
whatever the outcome , the remembrance of
the course pursued by these wholesalers
will remain as a thorn In th - aide of all
lovers' of'gcod government. Some of the
more substantial and sensible of the Omaha
linns refuse to meddle- with state polltiCR
nnd they will reap the reward of their non-
Intefference 'a hundred fold.
The rapidly Increasing prejfldlce ngalnst
Omaha Is. not confined to any particular
part of the state. The eanle protest ngalnst
tlio unwarranted Interference of the Business
Men's association with the will of the people
'Is-rinsed In the thickly settled portions of
eastern Nebraska , as well as In the far west
ern and northwestern counties. The same ,
sentiment exists in Gage county , and It Is
voiced by tha following paragraph In the
Wymore Arbor State :
The people of Nebraska tire not obliged
tc trndc with' nny one cf these 700 named
merchants. There is no law by which men
can be compelled to buy wares and mer
chandise from such merchants ns are dis
posed to wrest from us our political rights.

In a depressed condition. TJys has been due

The dry seasons have taught the sugar

depend on the element * - alone for water.
Immense reservoirs for the storage of water
have been built In tha mountains , where
the rainfall Is always , very heavy. From
these reservoirs the water is conducted to
the plantations across hilts and sandy plains

some cases ns far na forty miles. The

DECISION ON THE FORM OF THE BALLOT
Lincoln Court Holds That County Clerks
Can I'rlnt tha rlrboU-nlth Party -\p-
licllnttoni In Kit her On or Two
B-Xo "llf I'elttlon. "
LINCOLN , Ocl. 29. ( Special Telegram. )
The < ballots used on November fl next will be
practically Jn accordance with the certificates
sent out to the county clerks by the secre
tary of stale. The district court ot Lan
cas caster county tills morning refused to grant
a writ of mandamus to compel the secretary
ofpai state to change them. The decision In
part favors the populists , however , as the
court adheres to a former decision , In which
It held that there must bo a separate line
for each party designation. Tlila was asked
for In the petition of the relater , Secretary
Edgcrton. . The court holds that county
clerks . nre- empowered to print the ballots
with a bracket , thus giving a separate line
to each of the words , "people's Independent"
and "democrat. " The other demand of the
petition that the words "by petition" bo
Inserted after the words "P. D. Sturdevant ,
straight democrat" is denied.
While the court holds that county clerks
may print the party designations In separate
lines , this Is not mandatory. The populists
may possibly bring suit In counties where ;
clerks refuse to do so to compel them. It
Isnoi generally believed that as tha court lias
not held that the certificate of the secretary
ofnu Mate Is a typographical model , a large
number of county clerks will print the
ballots with the bracket and party designa
tions In separate lines , instead of ulth only
a hyphen between the words people's In
dependent-democrat. |
1 Hut in the refusal to grant the writ Judges
Tlbbets and Hall say :
LANGUAGE OF THE DECISION.
"Tiio law docs not Intend that the certifi
cate of tha secretary of state Is to be a
model for the county clerks , either In former
or matter , but the law does Intend that
the secretary's certificate shall contain the
names of the candidates , their description
and all other details mentioned In their nomi
nating certificate's , so that the county clerks ,
whoso duty It is to prepare and print the
official and sample ballots' , shall have all
the information obtainable by the secietnry
to enable them to publish said ballots ac
cording to the form which the legislature It
self has prepared In the so-called Australian
ballot law. "
Further on , In regard to this point , Ihc de
cision ! tays :
"Hearing In mind that the object of the
secretary's certificate Is not to furnish a
sem
model or legal form of balloc to the county
clerks , but only such Information as will
enable the latter to prepare and print ( lie
ballots according to law , It would require
a , cqun y clerk of less than ordinary intel
ligence to fall to ba Informed from these
certificates of the secretary that Silas A.
Holcomb as candidate for governor repre
sents tha democrat and people's Independent
parties. "
Upon tie ! point In which Secretary Edgerton
asked that the words "on petition" follow
the "straight democrat'1 ' appendage to Stur-
devaiit's name , the court holds :
"II makes no difference in tha. .legal as
pect of a nomination , whether made by a
convention or petition , but the law requires
the official and sample ballots to present (6
the voter the different candidates for an office
. in such a manner that ) having ordinary in
telligence , ho may from the ballot learn what
party or principle each at said candidates
presents. It would require a voter ol less
than orJIr.ury Intelligence to fall to ba In
formed ae to the meaning of a ballot pre
senting 'Silas A. Holcomb , democrat , ' and
'P. ' D. Sturdevant , straight democrat/
candidates for governor. "
It Is upon this latter point that the popu
lists disagree with the opinion of the. court.
They Gay that a straight democrat Is the
nominee of a straight democrat convention ,
and by Inference in their petition for a man
damus say that tha other man Is the
"crooked democrat. "
the- court tills morning General Leesc filed
a motion for a new trial In order to prepare
the way for an appeal to the suprems court.
General Lecse- says that lie Is anxious to
obtain a final ruling on this point , as he con
siders the decision a precedent which may re
sult In disaster to any party in the future.
lie does not contemplate gaining a decision
In time for any change In the ballots ( or the
coming clectlcfn. At the populist headquar
ters It was learned that communication would
be Immediately opened with every county
clerk in the state to ascertain how many of
the clerks would follow the ruling of the
court in regard , to printing the names of the

County Clerk Wood of Lancaster county , It
Is reported , has said that he could construe
the decision of HIQ court \i \ no other way
than as indicated by the form of ballot as
sent out by the secretary of state , It is
thought that mandamus proceedings against

Lincoln attorneys there Is a divergence of
opinion concerning the limitations of the de-
cialon. Some of them hold that the Juris
diction or the district court extends no
further than Lancaster county. Others say
that the language of the court Is a safe guid
ance for all county clerks Inclined to present
a. legal ballot form to Nebraska voters.
VIEWS OF GENERAL LEESE.
Attorney General Leese was seen by a
representative of The lice nnd asked concernIng l-
Ing Ills views ot the effect of the decls'on le. lf >
Judges Tlbbets und Hall In the ballot case.
General Lecso eald :
"Thero is no doubt In my mind that the
Intention of the law la that each candidate
nominated shall bo correctly des gnated ,
politically , on the ballot. If nominated by >
two or more conventions , It shouli be shown
on the ballots on two different lines. If
to printed a bails of representation can be
found In the future for each party voting for
a certain candidate. In regard to the name
of P. D. Sturdevant , .plra ght democrat , 1CI
contended In my ptlton ) for a mandamus on
the secretary of state , that the words iny >
pHltion should be added In order that no
voter might he deceived. In reality I do
not believe that Mr. Sturdevant Is In any
legal or other sense a straight democrat.
As I take It a straight cand date Is the nomi-
nea of a straight political convention.
Sturdevanl docs not certainly come within
these limits. In my petition I alluded to
the Inference linpl ed by this designation
uas that the nominee of the democratic
state convention was a crooked candidate. "
"What action do you propose to take
now ? "
"I hove made a motion for a new trial In
order ta lest the case by an appeal to the
supreme court. It Is necesiary to have a
precedent established for the future. 1
do not know what courre the Independents
w 11 take in regard to mandamus proceed
ings In dlffmnt counties. So far I have
only taken the necessary legal steps to pro
tect the rights of the Independents In the
future. "

In I Ils .Sheet ,
Late last evening Judge Kcyccr of thl
district court Irsucd a temporary ordel
restraining \ the World-Herald from breaklni
Ha contract lo print two columns of nmttel
dally upon Its editorial pngo to be furnlglied
byAft the republican state central committed
After consulting his attorney , the manager
of the World-Herald decided to resume thl
publication of the matter rather than ta
Incur I the displeasure- the court. Consequently
quently the readers of that paper will thll
mo again bo treated lo the two columnl
ot campaign material furnished by J. W.
Johnson , chief of the republican literary
bureau. And thereby hangs a story.
On October 25 , the World-Herald appeared
with two columns' ' of matter on the editorial
page under the heading , "A CHANCE TO
HEAR I THE OTIIUlt SIDE. " nnd accom
panied by the standing announcement that
the tuo columns had been engaged by the
republican stnte central committee. The
matter contained In the two columns woa
violently abusive of Juilgo Holcomb' , the
pcaulo'B Independent candidate for governor ,
wlio was receiving a more or less enthusiastic
support In the remaining columns of the.
page. For three mornings and evenings , the
matter furnlihed by the republican state cen
tral ( committee appeared. Then "the chance
to hear the other sidewus omitted nnd an
editorial announcement made to the effect
that self-respect had compelled the paper ta
break Its contract. Chairman Merrill yester
day employtd an attorney and went Into court
with u petition for an order restraining the
World-Herald from breaking the contract.
Judge Keysor Issued the order as prayed for ,
making It rcturnab'o tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
I1IIYAN' SAID HE WOULD QUIT.
The > history of this cube Is one ot the most
interesting ; features of the campaign. U la
generally known that Congressman W. J.
Hryan Is ostensibly the editor-in-chief of the
\Vorld-IIcnilil , although he Is almost con
stantly at work on Hie stump In distant parts
ofHI the state. The contract between Mr.
Hitchcock and the republican central com-
mlttcn was entered into while Eclltor-ln-
Chlcf Bryan was absent from the city. By
tin terms of the contract Mr. Hitchcock :
agreed to sell to the republican state central
committee two columns of space on the edi
torial page ot the World-Herald for 175 per : |
day for ten contecutlvo days , The copy wa | |
to bo prornred by the state- central commit
tee , and was to contain nothing llbelous.
The i first Instalment of the republican cam
paign thunder appeared In the World-Herald ,
on last Thursday morning. The matter was
wholly made up "of personal attache upon
Judge Holcomb , and the feelings aroused
In the breasts of the faithful were hardly
such as could be described In cold type. A3
soon as the paper made Its appearance , Chair
man Smyth of the democratic state central il
pommlttco telegraphed a very urgent mea-
fcago to Congressman-Editor Dryan , Inciting
that he at once slve orders to havetli bb- '
JectlonaJifeatujri DfJtnq"rwprW-Hcrnld'8 ( edi
' '
torial 'pcae6'1'imppresse'd1 ' and Intimating , in
vords plainly to bo understood , that Dry an
must cither suppress the matter or refeljrn
as edltor-ln-clilef. The next mornlrie a tele-
gram was received from Bryan , elating that
ho had endeavored In vain to rcnch Mr.
Illtchcbck by telephone , but hoped to ac
complish something that day. Then Chair
man Smyth kept the wires hot for several
hours telegraphing the facts to the members
of the democratic state central committee ,
urging them to Individually send tclofiraphld
protests to Bryan. They did so , and Bryan
was simply overwhelmed with rcinonstrancsa
at Western Union commercial rates , fi
nally , after considerable effort , Uryan man
aged to EC euro communication with the
Hitchcock end of the World-Herald , and ho
then Insisted , with so much force of argu
ment , that Hitchcock was constrained to
break the contract with the republican ntate
central committee.
FOWLKK WOULD NOT LISTEN.
Mr. Hitchcock first endeavored to rescind
the contract by mutual agreement with L. D.
Fowler , cashier of the German Savings bank ,
with whom he had negotiated the deal. Mr.
Fowler was obdurate and declined emphati
cally to release the despairing publisher. In.
vain did Mr. Hitchcock Insist that to con
tinue the contract would place him In a most
embarrassing position with his edltor-In-
chicf. Mr. Fowler refused to concern him
self with the relations between the business
manager and the editor-in-chief , and finally
Mr. Hitchcock declared that il limply
amounted to one tiling-or the other. Ho must
either break his contiact or be deprived , of
the services of hln editor-in-chief. Ho de
cided to break tlio contract rather than face
the dreaded alternative , and so Informed Mr.
Fowler. All these facts arc established In
the sworn affidavit submitted to Judge Key-
ser by Mr. Fowler. That is , all but the allu
sion to the telegrams passed between Mr.
state central committee.
There was some consternation In the edi
torial and business offices last evening when
the order of the court was served upon
Huslncss Manager Hitchcock. He at once
took the order of the court to his attorney ,
Mr. H. 9. Hall , and thu latter concluded
that nothing could bo done but to follow tha
order literally , Consequently the matter ,
which Is the source of no much grief to both
ends of the World-Herald , will bo heard thll
morning.
Mil. FOWLER'S AFFIDAVIT
Mr. Fowler , In his affidavit In support ol
the petition , after citing the fact that the
sum of { 75 was paid to the cashier of the
World-Herald on October 25 , 26 and 27 , con

BUSY DISCOUNTING DEFEAT
Managers of the Majors Campaign Steadily Scaling Their Estimates.
REVOLT AGAINST CIRCUMSTANCE CONTINUES
Yeten In City, Town, County and Country
Recent the "null null" Attempt of Dictation at the "Junction Moon"
and Current Role < ! rage,
When the present campaign opened Majors boldly asserted that he was certain of being elected by a majority of 20,000. Four weeks ago his managers cut down the figures to 10,000. Last week, after hearing reports from every quarter of the state, and after making a careful estimate, based upon a poll of many counties, the committee contented itself with claiming a plurality of 6,000. This week every indication points to a landslide to Judge Holcomb. The managers of the Majors campaign are no longer confident. While Chairman Morrill sends boastful announcements to the Inter-Ocean, claiming the state by 20,000 plurality, the fact is that neither himself nor any of his associates have any hope of electing Majors. The reports received at headquarters grow worse and worse as the campaign draws to a close, and some of the worst reports come from the county in which Colonel Russell makes his home, where, instead of adding strength to the ticket, he is a dead weight, and is pulling his running mate, Tom Majors, down with him. While it is true that Republican meetings have been largely attended in some parts of the state, it is also true that the voters have maintained a sullen and most ominous disposition toward the tail of the ticket whenever he has been brought into play.
In several districts bargains have been made to trade votes for the democratic candidates for the legislature for votes for Tom Majors. The Majors men, in their desperation, are willing to sacrifice the hope of electing a Republican United States senator to the success of the B. & M. candidate for governor. The deal is already made in Otoe county, where Sinclair, the democratic candidate for the legislature, is to receive votes from the Majors crowd. In return for votes for Majors from the democrats. The trade, if successfully carried out, will elect John Sinclair, the administration democrat running against City " " ten, A similar deal has been made in Lancaster county, where a note, half of warning and half of commendation, has been sounded by the Daily News in the following paragraph:
Votes for Majors are offered in exchange for votes for the combine legislative ticket by numerous politicians in this county. To many Republicans, who realize the importance of the election of a governor, this trade seems advantageous. They regard the county ticket as safe, with votes to spare and consider it a wise deal to trade a legislative vote for a vote for Tom Jaw.
Aside from its being unrepublican, trading in this manner is a dangerous thing. Of course, each individual thinks only his vote is being traded in this manner, and the result will be one vote gained for Majors at the expense of the county legislative ticket.
CAMPAIGN URGENT EFFORTS FAIL.
Whole tons of Judge Holcomb's alleged mortgage record have been distributed broadly over the state, and several hundred columns of anonymous blackwash have been turned out by the fake mills, all for the purpose of distracting the attention of the voters from the real issues of the campaign. The attempt has been a dismal failure, as dismal a failure as the effort to make it appear that the sole issue is whether Rosewater shall be crowned dictator of Nebraska on the 6th of next November. The Wister Chronicle, a Republican newspaper, hits the bull's eye in the following comment on the Holcomb business:
Some men are exhorting their fellows to deliver the state from Rosewaterism, but they have no scruples against Holdregeism. Their editor of The Bee must learn that he cannot dictate, but the manager of the B. & M. must be acknowledged as dictator. Which is most detrimental to the state-7 Rosewater's efforts have always been against monopoly. Held has the head of the most gigantic and oppressive corporation in the state, Rosewater can oblige no one to patronize him to the amount of a cent against his will; Holdrege exacts tribute upon a majority of the people of Nebraska and they have been helped to prevent it. They will continue to be helpless so long as they vote for the men whom Holdrege nominates. The issue is not Rosewaterism against Holdregeism. It is the people against corporatism, and Rosewater is only one of the people.
The next things in order are the roorbacks and campaign canards which the Majors managers have gotten up regardless of expense and veracity. These canards are intended to confuse and mislead the voter. One story which is to be circulated within a day or so in those counties in which there is a large foreign population, is to the effect that Judge Holcomb is a member of the A. P. A. By circulating this false report, the fake writers hope to place Judge Holcomb in the same boat with Tom Majors. As a matter of fact, Judge Holcomb is a Protestant and a member in good standing in the Christian church, and never has been and is not a member of the A. P. A., and has never affiliated with any secret political order or society.
SENTIMENT IN A SECTION HAND.
As an instance of the intense indignation prevailing in all parts of Nebraska over the attempt of the railroads to coerce their employees into voting for Majors, the following letter, written to The Bee by a section hand on the D. & M. in Gage county, may be cited:
To the Editor of The Bee:
Yesterday I met Cook and John Dwyer of the D. & M. R. H. were in this bailiwick and they demanded that I must be Majors, Ye gods, for the first time in my life I hear a democrat must vote for a republican or lose his job. God in heaven, has it come to this, and must bankers and business men's association rule and a free ballot denied?
The foregoing is somewhat crude as to rhetoric, and the construction of the sentences may be a little liberal, but the letter represents the sentiments of a humble laborer who still has the manhood to protest against the outrageous attempt of his employers to dictate the manner in which he shall cast his ballot. He signs his full name to his letter, and gives permission to use it if necessary, but to print his signature would simply result in his discharge, and hence the name is withheld. But the letter is an evidence of the sentiments of the great masses of the wage earners of the state who have been threatened with the loss of their positions if they do not vote for the railroad candidate for governor.
PASS RAILROAD REMONSTRANCES PURSUED,
Remonstrances and protests are still pouring in against the Business Men's association. The secretary of that association seems to have an unlimited supply of D. & M. passes at his disposal, and he has not hesitated to make use of them wherever they could be placed in the interests of Tom Majors. The following clipping from the Aurora Sun shows the manner in which these passes are being used.
The railroad ringers, styling themselves the Business Men's association, are turning heaven and earth to save "Tattooed Tom" and prevent the success of a maximum rate bill. Passes and free tickets are being vent broadcast through the state to democratic and populist businessmen, inviting them to Omaha, where they can be seduced into standing up for the railroads and their candidates. A Hampton merchant showed us a letter he received last Saturday, which read as follows:
THE BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIATION OF NEBRASKA.
OMAHA, Oct. 18, 1891.
Dear Sir:
We have your letter in which you state that you are against Tom Majors for Governor. Please understand that we do not want you to vote for him.
Dear Sir, I enclose the return ticket from your place to Omaha, and invite you at your earliest convenience to call at the office of the Business Men's association in Nebraska, room 8, Paxton block, and learn from said association - something - regarding the situation throughout the state. Two gestures to enlist your hearty co-operation in our behalf, JOHN PETERS, Sec'y. No money or plans will be spared to keep the railroads on top of the people, but there are plenty of voters on whom they have no strings to show them out of office if they will only turn out en masse to the polls and register their wish upon the ballot. Let's bury "Tattooed Tom" too deep for resurrection this year. Let nothing prevent the farmer from getting to the polls except death or typhoid fever, as denial business men who have entered the association of bankers and stock yard managers are doing much to create prejudice against the city among the people of interior towns of the state. The Genoa Manner refers to this feature of the movement as follows:
The "Business Men's association" has and will do greater violence and harm to the business men of Omaha than the "honorable" business men of that city can repair for a long time to come. The people of the state of Nebraska are proud of their commercial city, but they will not brook insult.
The Douglas Enterprise also writes a paragraph in the same unfriendly spirit:
The business men of the state outside of Omaha are resenting the insult offered by the business men of that town and if Omaha allows her trade slipping away she will know it is the tactics of her own foolish business deal. The anti-Omaha spirit in the state is being greatly increased by these contemptible tactics.
The attempt to organize branch associations in other towns in the state is falling as signally as did the effort of Messrs. Colpottzer and Cultlwcll to form an association at Norfolk. At Columbus the project was received with marked disfavor, the Argus of that city voicing the sentiment of the business men there in the following paragraph:
The Argus does not believe it is possible to rope in a dozen Columbus men into a deal such as is suggested by the so-called Business Men's association.
There are Republicans in Columbus who say: "It is bad enough to swallow Majors in the best of cases, but when it comes to forcing him down our throats by the aid of an organization which is a disgrace to the business fraternity, we shall repudiate the whole thing, as Tom Majors tried to repudiate our bonded indebtedness."
ITS PASSING IS AT HAND.
The high wind of last Saturday played sad havoc with the big sign of the Business Men's association, which has for two weeks been flaunting itself over Parnell street. The motto, "Nebraska's Prosperity Paramount to Party Politics," has been slightly amended by the elements, and on Sunday the banner read, "Business Men's Association Amounts to Party Politics." Today the sign amounts to nothing, for it has been obliterated. The people of Nebraska have already fallen in with the idea that the business men's movement simply amounts to party politics, and will soon pass away.
The Chadron Signal refers to the scheme in the following pointed paragraph:
The attempt of Doc Leas to organize the "business interests" in Chadron to help the Tom Majors-Tobias Castor combination is a miserable failure. There are plenty of business men, as well as working men, in this city who will vote for Judge Holcomb.
The removal of the Chadron land office to Alliance at the dictation of Tobias Castor is too fresh in the minds of our citizens for them to pull any C & M railroad chestnuts out of the fire. In this case the people won't wait any of Dr. Leas' medicine. The brand on the bottle is too plain.
The right of Omaha wholesale merchants to attempt to interfere with the personal choice of the people of the United States is discussed by the Plainview News:
What right has the wholesaler of Omaha, or any other city for that matter, to array himself against his patrons and exert every endeavor to obey the wishes of the railroads? The election will soon be over, but whatever the outcome, the remembrance of the course pursued by these wholesalers will remain as a thorn in the side of all lovers of good government. Some of the more substantial and sensible of the Omaha firms refuse to meddle with state politics and they will reap the reward of their non-interference a hundredfold.
The rapidly increasing prejudice against Omaha is not confined to any particular part of the state. The earnest protest against the unwarranted interference of the Business Men's association with the will of the people is voiced in the thickly settled portions of eastern Nebraska, as well as in the far western and northwestern counties. The same sentiment exists in Gage county, and it is voiced by the following paragraph in the Wymore Arbor State:
The people of Nebraska are not obliged to trade with any one of these 700 named merchants. There is no law by which men can be compelled to buy wares and merchandise from such merchants as are disposed to wrest from us our political rights. The fact is patent to all that there is a way to bring these purse-proud plutocrats to their knees and that way is the common sense thing to do; buy goods from your own political friend.
In the circular referred to above, the name of McCord, Brady & Co. occurs nine times, as the various commercial travelers signed, giving the name of the firm each time, while each member of the firm signs separately for the firm.
When the election is over it would be meeting and fitting to look these people up, and stores that handle their goods advised to handle them no more; then if they persist in staying with such houses the people may conclude to trade with their own friends.
JUDGE HOLCOMB AT HOME.
As an evidence of the high esteem in which Judge Holcomb is held by the members of the Custer county bar, the following resolutions, adopted eighteen months ago, may be cited. They are signed by leading members of the bar in that county, and were spread upon the records of the Twelfth district long before Judge Holcomb had any thought of being a candidate for Judge of the supreme court, to say nothing about any thought of his being nominated for governor:
State of Nebraska, County of Custer, 1893:
Be it remembered that heretofore, to-wit: on the 19th day of April, A.D. 1893, there was filed in the office of the clerk of the district court of the Twelfth Judicial District.
Truly, In and for Custer county and state of Nebraska, resolutions of thanks, confidence and respect, which resolutions were and are in the words and figures as follows, to-wit: By the Custer County Bar, Resolutions of Thanks, Confidence and Respect:
Whereas, In years past by an immense number of cases have accumulated upon the records of this court, to the serious affliction and oppression of the parties thereto, and of the taxpayers and people generally, by the costs and delays of proceedings looking to the final adjudication of said cases; and Whereas, We deprecate tardy Justice and desire to see the records of the adjudication of cases brought as nearly as possible up to that time of the commencement of the same, and Justice speedily and ungrudgingly meted out; and Whereas, By the honorable, energetic and untiring efforts of Hon. Silas A. Holcomb, Judge of the Twelfth Judicial district of said state of Nebraska, the delays of, together with the oppressive effects thereof, have been, to a great extent, obviated and removed and the course of Justice put into speedy, steady and adequate motion, free and without offense or unseemly haste; therefore, Be It Resolved, By the Custer county bar and attorneys in attendance upon this, the April term of the district court of Custer county, Nebraska, in the year 1853, that we tender our warmest and sincerest thanks to the Hon. Silas A. Holcomb, for his honest energy and untiring, unabated efforts in this behalf, of also, for the skill and courtesy and uniform kindness with which he has managed the accomplishment of this most difficult undertaking, without even the semblance of harsh or hasty treatment to either litigants, Jurors, witnesses, officers or attorneys; and we hereby pledge our confidence, support, sympathy and assistance to the said honorable Judge in all his efforts to raise the standard of justice, and, in each particular case, hasten to that timeless which "until last enacted, shall make things even." Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to Hon. Silas A. Holcomb, that they be spread upon the records of this court, and that the newspapers of the county and district be immediately notified to publish the same. Moved by J. C. Naylor, seconded by H. B. McSherry, B. P. Cumming, Judge Wall, Simon Cameron, Colonel Henry C. Russel, J. Bean, L. K. Eklspacktrick and others, and unanimously carried.
Judge Holcomb made a most earnest and feeling response, finding it difficult to control his feelings.
State of Nebraska, Custer County, etc.: S. St. Dorff, clerk of the district court, Twelfth Judicial district, of the state of Nebraska, in and for Custer county, do hereby certify that the foregoing is a full and true copy of the resolutions of thanks, confidence and respect tendered to Judge Holcomb and offered by J. C. Naylor and seconded by H. B. McSherry and others and unanimously adopted, as appears from the original thereof now on file in the office of the clerk; witness my signature and official seal of this 6th day of October, 1853.
Seal. S. M. Dorff, Clerk.
In the midst of turmoil, Count von Caprivis stands triumphant, conferred with the order of the Black Eagle, set with brilliants. His majesty has also bestowed upon Count Botho von Hohenlohe the cross and star of Grand Commander of the Hohenzollern. The correspondent of the Associated Press learns from Warsaw that upon receipt of the news, Prince Bismarck said: "I knew this would be the inevitable result. Count Eulenberg was right: In regard to the anti-socialist measures, but General von Caprivis disagreed with them, and either one or both had to resign. Prince Hohenlohe is a safe man, but he lacks initiative."
Prince Bismarck returns Friedrichsruhe November 3. On account of his state of health, the prince will be unable to see any more delegations before leaving Warsaw. The health of Princess Bismarck causes anxiety.
In Berlin, Prince von Hohenlohe visited Emperor William today in his new capacity as chancellor of the German empire and premier of Prussia. The prince then proceeded to Berlin, where Herr von Holtz, the newly appointed minister of the Interior, had preceded him.
TO INDU CLIFTON.
Emperor Alexander to Empress Elizabeth in Vienna for the exile of Premier.
BERLIN, Oct. 29. It is understood that the emperor has accepted the new chancellor's view, that the appointment of a reactionary Protestant like Count zu Eulenberg as governor of Alsace-Lorraine, would create a bad feeling in that province. His majesty has summoned Prince Hohenlohe-Lichenburg, head of the Nauennstein line, to Potsdam, as a possible governor of the Reichstag. His majesty's desire to appoint Count zu Eulenberg to the highest position next to the chancellor, with a salary of £30,000 higher than the chancellor receives, as compensation for the slights cast upon him by the Caprivi press, is a further instance of the intrusion of Imperial feeling into the government of the country, which is little calculated to enlist popular approval. Prince Hohenlohe-Langenburg is an uncle of the emperor, and he belongs to the Hesse-Darmstadt families. He was formerly a member of the free conservative party in Parliament and has taken deep interest in colonial matters. He has made a particular mark in politics; the other candidates for the same position are General von Loë, Prince Frederick Hohenzollern, and General Count von Waldersee. It is believed that Prince Hohenlohe-Langenburg has the best chance of appointment. Prince von Hohenlohe is not a speaker, so Dr. von Dette, Imperial minister of the Interior and representative of the chancellor, will have the task in the Reichstag of speaking on home affairs for the government, while Von Lilienfeld, the foreign minister, will speak on foreign affairs.
The countermanding of a summons of a meeting of the cabinet at noon today gave rise to new rumors of a prorogation of the crisis and further resignations, but by a late hour nothing has transpired officially, though a report is current that Dr. von Schelling, Prussian minister of Justice, has resigned. It is stated that Caprivi will be made a colonel-general.
One Morning and Another Crisis.
QUEENSTOWN, Oct. 29. The British bark Andaman, Captain Jones, from Talcahuano, Chile, July 25, arrived here today and reports that on October 15 in latitude 42.31 she passed a large wooden vessel on fire, apparently American or Colombian. She also reports passing on October 19 in latitude 43.31 an upturned wooden vessel showing about 120 feet of keel.

PARIS, Oct. 29. The Journal des Débats announces that the minister of posts and telegraphs, with the sanction of the government, signed a decree on Saturday last authorizing the transfer to the French Submarine Telegraph company of all the rights and charges of the Paris New York company's concession of 1879. This confirms the amalgamation.

FORT GIBSON, I. T., Oct. 29. Deputy Marshal Roden and posse have come in with two prisoners supposed to belong to the Cook gang. One of them gives his name as Jim Price and is identified as the man who jumped his bond at Paris, Tex., eight months ago. He was on bond for stealing horses and disappeared a few days before his trial. The other says his name is Lane Perry, but it is believed from the description given that he really is Perry Brown and one of the Cook gang. John, deputy United States marshal, wired the authorities at Muskogee yesterday that five of the Cook gang were uninjured near Sarpsburg, and that the officers were in pursuit of the others. Beck is one of the most reliable men on the force, and there is no doubt that the report is true. Only two of the parties are known, Cook and French, and the two leaders are not among them.
FORT SMITH, Ark., Oct. 29. United States Marshal Crump received a telegram this morning from Indian Agent Wisdom at Muskogee, I. T., in which Indian agent says he has received information that Bill Cook's gang, numbering 15 men, are near Tallashn Mission, 30 miles northwest of Muskogee. The conductor who brought in the passenger train from that country brings further information. He says the pursuers have captured the horses of the robbers and have them surrounded. The officials here believe it is a ruse of the friends of the bandits to attract attention away from other parts.
In Trying to Separate Two Contemporaries in Politics,
MEMPHIS, Oct. 23. A street fight at York, Ala., this morning resulted in the wounding of two prominent citizens, one fatally, and the killing of the chief of police, J.V. Thompson. On Saturday, S.A. Cameron, cotton compress agent, and E.P. Allison, a timber merchant, had a quarrel about a business settlement - the interference of friends only prevented bloodshed then. This morning Allison met Cameron on the street and demanded an apology for certain harsh epithets he had applied to him during Saturday's altercation. Cameron refused to apologize and drew a pistol. A fight then ensued, when Chief of Police Thompson ran up, seized Cameron and tried to disarm him. In the scuffle Cameron's pistol was discharged, two bullets passing through Allison's side and penetrating Thompson's heart. The latter fell dead and the former is mortally wounded. Cameron was severely hurt by blows on the head. Thompson leaves a large family.
Huve linen Compelled to Submit to Arbitration,
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29. The outlook for the Hawaiian sugar crop of 1893 is very unfavorable. For years this industry has been in a depressed condition. The causes have been due in part to successive seasons of drouth. The dry seasons have taught the sugar growers a lesson. Most of them no longer depend on the elements alone for water.
Immense reservoirs for the storage of water have been built in the mountains, where the rainfall is always very heavy. From these reservoirs, the water is conducted to the plantations across hills and sandy plains by means of wooden or iron aqueducts. In some cases, as far as forty miles. The Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar company has expended nearly $11,000 in the development of its water supply this year and now has over seventy miles of ditch. The sugar crop of 1913 will begin to come into market very soon and is estimated at 150,000 tons.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 2- The trial of the suit of the American Distributing company of West Virginia against Messrs. Martin & McAndrew's liquor dealers was continued in the court of commissioner today. The suit is to recover $1,031 in interest, for ten barrels of spirits. Martin & McAndrews claim that the distributing company was in reality an agent of the Whisky trust and that they have a bundle of the unpaid vouchers of this trust, representing, they allege, rebates due them, and which amount to more than the sum claimed by the distributing company. They offer (these vouchers) as an offense to the claim. It is said that similar vouchers for something like $2000,000 are now in the hands of the various liquor dealers.

THE CAN USE THE BRACKET
Secretary Allen's Sample is Not Binding in Its Effects,
DECISION ON THE FORM OF THE BALLOT
Lincoln Court Holds That County Clerks Can Print the Designations of the Various Applications In Either One or Two Lines
LINCOLN, Oct. 29. (Special Telegram.) The ballots used on November 5 next will be practically in accordance with the certificates sent out to the county clerks by the secretary of state. The district court of Lancaster county this morning refused to grant a writ of mandamus to compel the secretary of state to change them. The decision in part favors the populists, however, as the court adheres to a former decision, in which it held that there must be a separate line for each party designation. This was asked for in the petition of the relator, Secretary Edgerton. The court holds that county clerks are empowered to print the ballots with a bracket, thus giving a separate line to each of the words, "people's Independent" and "democrat." The other demand of the petition that the words "by petition" be inserted after the words "P. D. Sturdevant, straight democrat" is denied.
While the court holds that county clerks may print the party designations in separate lines, this is not mandatory. The populists may possibly bring suit in counties where clerks refuse to do so to compel them. It is not generally believed that as the court has not held that the certificate of the secretary of state is a typographical model, a large number of county clerks will print the ballots with the bracket and party designations in separate lines, instead of with only a hyphen between the words people's Independent-democrat.
But in the refusal to grant the writ, Judges Tibbits and Hall say:
LANGUAGE OF THE DECISION.
"The law does not intend that the certificate of the secretary of state is to be a model for the county clerks, either in form or matter, but the law does intend that the secretary's certificate shall contain the names of the candidates, their description and all other details mentioned in their nominating certificates, so that the county clerks, whose duty it is to prepare and print the official and sample ballots, shall have all the information obtainable by the secretary to enable them to publish said ballots according to the form which the legislature itself has prepared in the so-called Australian ballot law."
Further on, in regard to this point, the decision says:
"Considering in mind that the object of the secretary's certificate is not to furnish a model or legal form of ballot to the county clerks, but only such information as will enable the latter to prepare and print the ballots according to law, it would require a county clerk of less than ordinary intelligence to fail to be informed from these certificates of the secretary that Silas A. Holcomb as candidate for governor represents the democrat and people's Independent parties."
Upon the point in which Secretary Edgerton asked that the words "on petition" follow the "straight democrat" appendage to Sturdevant's name, the court holds:
"It makes no difference in the legal aspect of a nomination, whether made by a convention or petition, but the law requires the official and sample ballots to present to the voter the different candidates for an office in such a manner that having ordinary intelligence, he may from the ballot learn what party or principle each of said candidates presents. It would require a voter of less than ordinary intelligence to fail to be informed as to the meaning of a ballot presenting 'Silas A. Holcomb, democrat,' and 'P. D. Sturdevant, straight democrat,' candidates for governor."
It is upon this latter point that the populists disagree with the opinion of the court. They say that a straight democrat is the nominee of a straight democrat convention, and by inference in their petition for a mandamus say that the other man is the "crooked democrat."
The court this morning General Leces filed a motion for a new trial in order to prepare the way for an appeal to the supreme court. General Leces says that he is anxious to obtain a final ruling on this point, as he considers the decision a precedent which may result in disaster to any party in the future. He does not contemplate gaining a decision in time for any change in the ballots for the coming election. At the populist headquarters, it was learned that communication would be immediately opened with every county clerk in the state to ascertain how many of the clerks would follow the ruling of the court in regard to printing the names of the nominating parties on separate lines. General Leces says that he regards the ruling as mandatory on the county clerks.
County Clerk Wood of Lancaster county, it is reported, has said that he could construe the decision of the court in no other way than as indicated by the form of ballot as sent out by the secretary of state. It is thought that mandamus proceedings against him will be begun immediately. Among Lincoln attorneys there is a divergence of opinion concerning the limitations of the decision. Some of them hold that the jurisdiction of the district court extends no further than Lancaster county. Others say that the language of the court is a safe guide for all county clerks inclined to present a legal ballot form to Nebraska voters.
VIEWS OF GENERAL LEESE.
Attorney General Leese was seen by a representative of The Times and asked concerning his views on the effect of the decision of Judges Tibbets and Hall in the ballot case. General Leese said:
"There is no doubt in my mind that the intention of the law is that each candidate nominated shall be correctly designated, politically, on the ballot. If nominated by two or more conventions, it should be shown on the ballots on two different lines. If to prevent a ballot of representation can be found in the future for each party voting for a certain candidate. In regard to the name of P. D. Sturdevant, plain right democrat, I contended in my petition for a mandamus on the secretary of state, that the words in my election should be added in order that no voter might be deceived. In reality, I do not believe that Mr. Sturdevant is in any legal or other sense a straight democrat. As I take it, a straight candidate is the nominee of a straight political convention. Sturdevant does not certainly come within these limits. In my petition, I alluded to the inference implied by this designation was that the nominee of the democratic state convention was a crooked candidate. "What action do you propose to take now?" "I have made a motion for a new trial in order to test the case by an appeal to the supreme court. It is necessary to have a precedent established for the future. I do not know what course the Independents will take in regard to mandamus proceedings in different counties. So far, I have only taken the necessary legal steps to protect the rights of the Independents in the future." Decision Colored Woman Murdered.
DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 29.-Sarah Dales, colored, was shot through the heart last evening by Frank White, colored, from Windsor. The dead woman's husband is in the Sells Bros. circus. White had formerly lived with the woman and they were discussing a backboard bill just before the shooting.
Information from the Chicago, Springfield, and St. Louis Railroad, SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Oct. 23. The auditor of public accounts has announced the result of the recent examination of the North Park, Illinois, association at Chicago and the late F. W. Porter, secretary of the same, defaulted $23,000. The affairs of the association are all right. Porter was for twenty years auditor of the Rock Island road and died suddenly at Cincinnati recently. Investigation points to suicide to escape disgrace.
Corrects Some of the Statements Made by Commissioner Sheehan on Friday.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Commissioner Sheehan was again on the witness stand before the Lexow committee today. He made some corrections in preceding parts of his testimony. One was with reference to his partner, Mr. Brown. He produced a printed notice of a prospective partnership which had been mailed to friends early in February, 1892. He was not appointed police commissioner until March of that year. He said he intended to resign his position on the aqueduct board about May 1, but his appointment to the police board came before that time, Mr. Sheehan also presented a paper which proved to be the first solicitation to bidders in the Long Island contract, in which it was shown that a check for 6 percent of the bid was enclosed in an envelope. His information on this point was obtained from Mr. O'Gorman; he knew nothing of it otherwise. The commissioner, referring to the fact brought out by Mr. O'Gorman that no judge had ever rendered a decision declaring pool selling illegal, cited a decision by Judge Van Brunt in the case of Thomas O'Flynn. The commission of appeals upheld the decision.
"I'm glad you mentioned the case," said Mr. Goff, "That's the case of the Barclay street pool seller who said he was a common carrier."
Mr. Sheehan stated that no action had been taken in the case, but that he had been ready to vote on it. He admitted that the Stevin trial had not been decided as promptly as it should have been.
In reply to the question how many times during the two years he had been commissioner he had heard that protection money was being paid to the police for various forms of vice, Mr. Sheehan said he had heard it less since he had been a commissioner than before he came on the board. The commissioner said he considered the superintendent better qualified to investigate such cases than the board was.
"Have you ever heard it said," Mr. Goff asked, with a smile, "that every police commissioner was corrupt and a bribe taker? Commissioner Mapleton?"
The witness became very angry at that.
"I don't say whether I heard it or not," he said.
"I have read that some republican speakers had expressed themselves in such a manner, and probably every one of them are bribe takers themselves." They lied."
"You said on Friday," observed Mr. Goff, "that the people of New York were indebted to Richard Croker for closing the pool game?"
"I said he was always doing good things," said Mr. Sheehan.
"So that the fact remains that it remained for Michael Croker, a private citizen, to force the commissioners to do their duty," sneered Mr. Goff.
"I did not admit that," said Mr. Sheehan, angrily.
Regarding the pool selling, the commissioner said he was satisfied the sellers paid the police for "protection," but that he did not trace the rumor that Superintendent Byrnes got bribes.
The committee took an adjournment until tomorrow, when the taking of the evidence will be resumed, with Commissioner Sheehan in the witness box.
QUICK ARREST OVERNIGHT
Saturdy, June 24. Samuel S. Buxton, who was arrested on Saturday on the charge of having murdered Mary A. Jones, a maiden lady, at her home a few miles from this city, on the 21st inst., where she was found hanging by the neck, has confessed to the murder. Preliminary hearing was held this morning, when he waived examination, and was immediately removed to the jail, being entertained that a mob attempt to take him from the jail would be of a revolting nature. Three years ago Buxton, by a series of obscene letters purported to come from a witch and directed to Miss Jones, hypnotized her and caused her ruin. The intimacy continued to the day of her death. By the same system of deceit the infatuated woman consented to be strung up by the neck in the belief that it would cause the death of Buxton's wife. The second time the experiment was tried Buxton pushed away the chair on which the foolish woman stood, and she swung into eternity. Buxton took what money was in the house and left for his home, a short distance away, where he was arrested, brought to the city and lodged in jail. His motive for committing murder is that he was tired of the woman. He will appear in circuit court at Sparta this afternoon and take his sentence. Buxton has a wife and three children. The murdered woman was a near neighbor of the Buxtons and lived alone.
As soon as court was called today Buxton was brought in and, after guilty plea, was immediately sentenced to life imprisonment for murder.
Violent thunderstorms now lash the nation, Will Not Hide In Court After All,
CHICAGO, Oct. 23. The Post's New York special says: There is to be no divorce in the Vanderbilt family after all. It is now announced today that the difference between William K. and his wife will not be aired for the benefit of the world at large, and New York society in particular, as indicated two months ago. At that time the exclusive sets of London, Paris and New York were intensely agitated over the prospects of the most sensational sort of a legal battle. In which Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, it was expected, would reveal to the public gaze no end of indiscretions and violations of the marriage vow on the part of her husband, who is worth $185.000,000 and poses as the social representative of his family. The announcement that Mrs. William K. would take her grievances to court, with a view of securing a good, big slice of her husband's $585,000,000 and the custody of their children created, as may be imagined, a bona fide sensation, though such a step was not unexpected by the initiated of the exclusive "lemon, are supposed to represent the crime of in crimen of American aristocracy as New York views the matter.
Dr. and Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt separated in Italy in the middle of a yachting tour around the world. Mrs. Vanderbilt went to London with her children and her husband took up his abode at Paris, where he is still living.
THE FIFTH PAGE or THE DAILY.
New York banker handles the weight of the current crisis.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23. The unprecedented slump in the price of wheat may bring woe to the farmer and speculator, but the situation is not as gloomy for the consumers of bread, because cheaper wheat will be followed by cheaper bread. The New York bakers, following the commendable lead of their fellow tradesmen of Washington, have decided to reduce the price of bread to conform to the relative price of wheat. Every time wheat began to tumble to the lowest price recorded in the history of trading, a reduction in the domestic tariff of bread has been looked for, but it was not until last week, when the bakers of Washington knocked off a cent from the price of ordinary bread, that breadmakers in New York and other cities began to consider the matter seriously. The reduction in Washington has compelled the New York bakers to make a similar concession, although they will maintain former prices, the weight of the loaves will be increased to double the present weight. In Washington, a recent loaf of bread is now sold for 4 cents. In New York, the 5-cent rate will be retained, but the one-pound loaf sold for that price will give place to a two-pound loaf, sold at the same rate.
VULCANIZING THE BOND.
The Plume and Water Company of California Will Do Well Together.
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 23. W.O. Cole, president of the Municipal Investment Company of Chicago, has received a cable from the vice president of the company at London, announcing that negotiations for the purchase of the interests of the English bondholders in the San Diego Water company had been concluded and the deal made. Cole represents the owners of the Plume company's bonds and has control of the property. The purchase by the Plume company also includes the ownership of all the water company's bonds and control of the Hume Block, 1 percent. This means a consolidation of the water companies and the Hume companies.
The Consolidated Water company is organized under the laws of West Virginia. The purchase by the Plume company of the Enlargement company consists in the sinking of $600,000 of bonds, with the simulated unpalatable interest and 6 percent of the stock.
HOLDING HITCHCOCK TO THE FLOOR.
Republican State Central Committee Still Intends to Use Him.
BOUND TO HAVE HIS PAPER'S BROOM MAJORITY.
Allen the Gate or the Court in Cranberry, Serving Five Dollars a Day COULD
His Third for the Column
In the Sheet,
Late last evening Judge Keysor of this district court issued a temporary order restraining the World-Herald from breaking its contract to print two columns of matter daily upon its editorial page to be furnished by the Republican state central committee.
After consulting his attorney, the manager of the World-Herald decided to resume the publication of the matter rather than to incur the displeasure of the court. Consequently, the readers of that paper will this morning again be treated to the two columns of campaign material furnished by J.W. Johnson, chief of the Republican literary bureau. And thereby hangs a story.
On October 25, the World-Herald appeared with two columns of matter on the editorial page under the heading, "A CHANCE TO HEAR THE OTHER SIDE," and accompanied by the standing announcement that the two columns had been engaged by the Republican state central committee. The matter contained in the two columns was violently abusive of Judge Holcomb, the People's Independent candidate for governor, who was receiving a more or less enthusiastic support in the remaining columns of the page. For three mornings and evenings, the matter furnished by the Republican state central committee appeared. Then "the chance to hear the other side" omitted and an editorial announcement made to the effect that self-respect had compelled the paper to break its contract. Chairman Merrill yesterday employed an attorney and went into court with a petition for an order restraining the World-Herald from breaking the contract. Judge Keysor issued the order as prayed for, making it returnable tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
BYAN SAID HE WOULD QUIT.
The history of this case is one of the most interesting features of the campaign. It is generally known that Congressman W.J. Bryan is ostensibly the editor-in-chief of the World-Herald, although he is almost constantly at work on the stump in distant parts of the state. The contract between Mr. Hitchcock and the Republican central committee was entered into while Editor-in-Chief Bryan was absent from the city. By the terms of the contract, Mr. Hitchcock agreed to sell to the Republican state central committee two columns of space on the editorial page of the World-Herald for $175 per day for ten consecutive days. The copy was to be furnished by the state central committee, and was to contain nothing objectionable.
The first installment of the Republican campaign thunder appeared in the World-Herald, on last Thursday morning. The matter was wholly made up of personal attacks upon Judge Holcomb, and the feelings aroused in the breasts of the faithful were hardly such as could be described in cold type. As soon as the paper made its appearance, Chairman Smyth of the Democratic state central committee telegraphed a very urgent message to Congressman-Editor Bryan, inciting him at once to give orders to have the editorial page impressed and intimating, in words plainly to be understood, that Bryan must either suppress the matter or resign as editor-in-chief. The next morning a telegram was received from Bryan, stating that he had endeavored in vain to reach Mr. Hitchcock by telephone, but hoped to accomplish something that day. Then Chairman Smyth kept the wires hot for several hours, telegraphing the facts to the members of the Democratic state central committee, urging them to individually send telegraphic protests to Bryan. They did so, and Bryan was simply overwhelmed with reprimands at Western Union commercial rates, finally, after considerable effort, Bryan managed to establish communication with the Hitchcock end of the World-Herald, and then insisted, with so much force of argument, that Hitchcock was constrained to break the contract with the Republican state central committee.
FOWLER WOULD NOT LISTEN.
Mr. Hitchcock first endeavored to rescind the contract by mutual agreement with L.D. Fowler, cashier of the German Savings Bank, with whom he had negotiated the deal. Mr. Fowler was obdurate and declined emphatically to release the despairing publisher.
vain did Mr. Hitchcock insist that to continue the contract would place him in a most embarrassing position with his editor-in-chief. Mr. Fowler refused to concern himself with the relations between the business manager and the editor-in-chief, and finally, Mr. Hitchcock declared that it simply amounted to one thing or the other. He must either break his contract or be deprived of the services of his editor-in-chief. He decided to break the contract rather than face the dreaded alternative, and so informed Mr. Fowler. All these facts are established in the sworn affidavit submitted to Judge Kessler by Mr. Fowler. That is, all but the allusion to the telegrams passed between Mr. State central committee.
There was some consternation in the editorial and business offices last evening when the order of the court was served upon Business Manager Hitchcock. He at once took the order of the court to his attorney, Mr. H. S. Hall, and the latter concluded that nothing could be done but to follow the order literally. Consequently, the matter, which is the source of much grief to both ends of the World-Herald, will be heard this morning.
Mr. FOWLER'S AFFIDAVIT
Mr. Fowler, in his affidavit in support of the petition, after citing the fact that the sum of $75 was paid to the cashier of the World-Herald on October 25, 26 and 27, continues:
On Friday, October 28, O. M. Hitchcock called upon me and told the affiant that he (Hitchcock) was getting into great trouble over having entered into said contract, and thereupon exhibited what purported to be telegrams from one William J. Bryan and other telegrams from other parties in the State. Said telegrams asked Hitchcock to suppress the publication of the matter furnished by the plaintiff (the Republican State central committee) under said contract. Hitchcock then said: "You folks will let me out of this all right, won't you?" To which affiant replied: "No, indeed; we could not consider any proposition of this kind."
Later, the same day, affiant called upon Hitchcock at the latter's office, and the conversation concerning the contract was resumed. The affiant asked Hitchcock whether the latter was willing to allow the criticism to interfere with the carrying out of said contract, to which Hitchcock replied: "No; when I entered into the contract, I expected to meet a considerable amount of criticism, and I am prepared to stand it."
Hitchcock then said, in substance, that he was in the same position that the Globe-Democrat of St. Louis once was when it sold a page to a candidate for office, and in answer to criticism, had announced that it controlled the editorial policy of the paper, but that its news columns were for sale for advertising purposes, or other purposes for which people might want to hire space, and that the disposition of space in the paper was for the business manager.
The affiant today called upon Hitchcock and had another conversation with him in regard to the notice that appeared in this morning's paper announcing that they had released the contract. Mr. Hitchcock told the affiant that it had come to this, that he was obliged to either suppress the matter or break the contract or Mr. Bryan would be removed from the paper, which he had decided to break the contract rather than lose Mr. Bryan's association with the paper.

County CIrrk Snckett I'M-urt Upon Petition
of I'oiiillnt ] ( .cRlnlutlvo I. u mil U.i tc * .
Notwithstanding all objections to Ihe con
trary , Augustus L'ayne , . Charles Johnson ,
Michael Nelson and Avery A. Perry will go
upon the official ballet as candidates for the
legislature , being designated * Independents ,
while George F. Wlttum will be there as an
Independent candidate for the cfllco ot county
attorney.
Some' days ago the members of the execu
tive committee of the people's party got to
gether and pulled down a portion of the legis
lative ticket which was put up at tbo regular
convention of that parly. In addition to this
the name of II. fl. Bell , the people's party
candidate for county attorney , was dropped
from ttio list , Ihe Idea being lo do a llltle
fusing all along the line. Soon nfter Ihls
some of tlie members In the rank and lilt
of the people's party decided Dint lliey would
not fuse and In a meeting hld for the pur
pose ot determining upon a line of action
they concluded to put Into the political Held
the gentlemen whose names ore mentioned
above , they going Into the fight on petition.
About this time the member * of the executive
cdmmltlco look hold of the matter end filed
a protest with the county clerk , alleging that
thcso candidates were not nominated by any
convention , lhat Ihey were nol endorsed by
any primaries , Ihal Iho parties who were
booming them for the places were without
authority to (111 ( vacancies upon the ticket and
they were not entitled to bs designated by Ihe
name of candidates of Ihe party.
The petitions and the protests all went to
County Clerk Sackutt , who yesterday handed
down the following opinion In the premises :
In the matter of the objections of n. E.
Thomas , James Harrlgan and H. a. Bell to
the petitions of Charles Johnson , Michael
Nelson , Augustus Payne and Avery A. Perry ,
nnd the saino relaters objecting to Ihe peti
tion ot George F. Wltlum : .
The petitions objected to have been legally
filed In this office and arc In apparent con
formity to the provisions of the statute gov
erning the nomination of candidates for office.
The objections thereto are In proper form
and have been duly filed within the time
specified by law.
It Is contended therein thai Ihcse candidates
nol having been placed In nomlnallon "by
any convention , caucus , primary meeting or
committee" of the "people's Independenl
party , " are not entitled to the designation of
the name ot the "peoples Independent party"
upon the official ballot.
In the , absence of any decision upon the
question I am ot necessity to be guided
wholly by the language of the statute and a
determination thereof involves simply the
construction to bo placed upon Its provisions.
I find thai section C of the act known as
the "Australian Ballot Act" says : "Candi
dates for public office may be nominated
otherwise than by convention , committee or
primary meeting. In the manner following ,
A certificate of nomination containing the
name of a candidate for the ofllce to be filled ,
with such Information as Is required to be
given In certificates provided for In section
3 of this act , shall be signed , " etc. "Such
certificates may be filed as provided for In
section 4 of this act In the same manner and
with the same effect as a certificate of nom
ination made by a party convention , commlt-
leo or primary meellng. "
Socllon 3 provides as follows : "The cer-
llflcalo of nomination , which shall be In
writing , shall contain the name of the office
for which each pcrcon Is nominated , the
name and residence of each person , and if In
a city the street , number of residence and
place of business. If any , and shall desig
nate , in nod-more than flvo words , the parly
or principle which such convention , com
mittee or primary meeting represents. "
If UIB , language of section S means any
thing If'means that the certificate ot nomi
nation therein provided , for must contain the
name of th , ? ca.ndld.ite , aiid the Information
set forth -above , which "is'all the "Informa
tion required to ba given In a certificate"
by the provisions of section 3 , and Includes
Ihe party or principle represented.
It Is not , in my judgment , the Intention of
the statute to give any political party the
monopoly of designating who ot the"mem
bers of that party nre to be permitted to
bo candidate ! for ofllce , otherwise the pro
visions of section C arc of no force nnd ef
fect , but for Ihe very rearon lhat political
parties are ( oo often dominated by elements
and combinations which prevent the nomi
nation of these men who are best qualified
for the position sought to be filled- and who
will ba accorded the support of the best cle
ment ot citizens In the community In which
they are to ' run for olllce provision has been
madethat' they may be nominated otherwise
than by convention , and to sny that a can
didate far otllco under these conditions ,
although he may be an excellent man , must
lay aside his political convictions and brand
himself a counterfeit la manifestly not In
harmony with the genius and spirit of a
form of government which seeks lo secure
the "grealcst good to the greatest number. "
To place such a construction upon the
Ianguag3 of Ihe statute may he Inimical to
the Interest of "political parties , " but It Is
certainly In harmony with the greater Inter
ests of the people at large , whosa welfare
ought to be considered of paramount Im-
porlancft lo that of any political party.
The objections are therefore overruled.

In other respects than on the selection of

Ills appeal to the voters to send republicans

they need expect no favorable legislation for

NEW YOU 1C , Oct. 29. So far as the
cly { Is concerned the Tammany men place
great reliance on their thorough organization
and even their opponents admit that the full
Tammany vote will bo polled. The adherents
oi the committee of seventy's ticket base
heir firm belief in
winning upon the con-
ictlon that there will b ; ? , regardless ol
ordinary political methods , an "uprising ol
people" such aa overthrew the Tammany
rule In 1871.
Perhaps the most important Incident of tlie
lay was tlie attempt of an evening news-
wper to implicate Colonel Strong In an
old matter Involving leanings towards the
\merlcan Protective association , and hie
prompt denial of any Intentional participation
n It.
The attention of Mr. Jerome , campaign
nanager at the headquarters ot the caminlt-
eo of seventy , was directed this afternoon tea
a report emanating Irani the Grant head
quarters to tlie effect that the committee
"iad _ violated the statute of 1S92 by send-
ng" circulars appealing for funds to the cltj
nd judicial oillcers. His only comment was :
'Tho iinembora of the committee of seventy
are quite well able to take care ol themselves
so far as ahy vloUtlon of the election lawa
a concerned.--Thoy are not at a'l ' disturbed
if such- report --as"thl ? . "
At a meeting of1 the Real Estate Exchange
'loiiest Government club this evenl.i'g reao-
'
'utlons were passed and Tammany Hall was
.Igorously assailed. A letter from L ° vl P.
Morton was read. In which the republican
lomlnee for governor declared himself in
'nil sympathy with the alms and purposes
ot the club.
Comparatively little betting on the result
of the election Is being done except on the
SJock exchange. There are odds cf 10 to S
jlvca that Morten's plurality for governor
, vlll exceed 25,000 , F. T. Adams placing $2,000
against $1COO of E. H. Meyers' money. An
offer xvas1 made by one of the Worrnsera to
| ) 'jt up $1,000 to ? 100 on the plain proposition
of Morton's election , but there was no takers.
A Jew bets have bexm placed on the mayor
alty Issue at 1100 to ? SO In faxor ot Strong.
As a rule , though , republican money is held
for bets on batter terms.

Miimifjicliirer Atone Can Take
It Out or Ituiul.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 29. The attorney
general today rendered an opinion on the
South Carolina dispensary case presented by
Governor Tlllman , In which he sustains the
opinion ot the Treasury department , holding
that the slate has no authority In law to
enter government bonded warehouses for the
purpoto of seizing whisky declared by the
Btalo law to bo subject to confiscation. In
the conrso of his opinion tha attorney Ren-
oral tays : "The- legal status ot distilled
liquors In a bonded warehouse of the United
States and under theconlrol of the collector
of Internal revenue Is Uellnllcly settled and
staled by section 931 of the revised statutes
of the * United States , which declares lhat all
properly laken or detained by any officer or
other person under authority ot any revenue
law uf the United Statcj shall be Irreplcvln-
able. and shall bo deemed lo bo In the cus
tody of the law and subject only to tlio
orders and decrees of Iho courta ot the United
Stairs having jurisdiction thereof. It cannot
bo held , ai has been suggcste-l , and perhaps
might well be , that since the tariff act of
IVJl the taxes due on distilled liquors In a
United States bonded warehouse can bo paid
only by the distiller , Whether that bo seer
or not , a tender of such taxes by a sheriff
Is necessarily Ineffectual as against the
statute above quoted , since It Is beyond the
power of an Internal revenue collector to
accept It nnd thus nullify the provisions and
iledne the policy of .1 statute which alms to
absolutely exempt such liquor from the pro
cess of u state court. Such tender , which
for the reason stated the collector Is Incom
petent to accept , must bo also Ineffectual ,
because no ofllcer of South Carolina has been
given the right or power to make It , Ihe leg-
Islallon of South Carolina not authorizing any
such lender nor providing any fund which
can be used for lhat purpose.

A large number of the members of the people's party in Omaha responded to the invitations that were sent out, and the cafe was packed. No speeches were made. Colonel D. M. Platt of Red Cloud, an old schoolmate of Governor Wallace, was a prominent figure at the reception.
NAMES MUST STAND.
County Clerk Sackutt's Opinion Upon Petition of Conlin, California, and Other Concerned Individuals.
Notwithstanding all objections to the contrary, Augustus Payne, Charles Johnson, Michael Nelson, and Avery A. Perry will go upon the official ballot as candidates for the legislature, being designated Independents, while George F. Withum will be there as an Independent candidate for the office of county attorney.
Some days ago, the members of the executive committee of the people's party got together and pulled down a portion of the legislative ticket which was put up at the regular convention of that party. In addition to this, the name of H. F. Bell, the people's party candidate for county attorney, was dropped from the list, the idea being to do a little fusing all along the line. Soon after this, some of the members in the rank and file of the people's party decided they would not fuse and in a meeting held for the purpose of determining upon a line of action, they concluded to put into the political field the gentlemen whose names are mentioned above, they going into the fight on petition.
About this time, the members of the executive committee looked hold of the matter and filed a protest with the county clerk, alleging that these candidates were not nominated by any convention, that they were not endorsed by any primaries, that the parties who were booming them for the places were without authority to fill vacancies upon the ticket and they were not entitled to be designated by the name of candidates of the party.
The petitions and the protests all went to County Clerk Sackutt, who yesterday handed down the following opinion in the premises:
In the matter of the objections of N. E. Thomas, James Harrigan, and H. A. Bell to the petitions of Charles Johnson, Michael Nelson, Augustus Payne, and Avery A. Perry, and the same relations objecting to the petition of George F. Withum:
The petitions objected to have been legally filed in this office and are in apparent conformity to the provisions of the statute governing the nomination of candidates for office. The objections thereto are in proper form and have been duly filed within the time specified by law.
It is contended therein that these candidates, not having been placed in nomination "by any convention, caucus, primary meeting, or committee" of the "people's Independent party," are not entitled to the designation of the name of the "people's Independent party" upon the official ballot.
In the absence of any decision upon the question, I am, to necessity, to be guided wholly by the language of the statute and a determination thereof involves simply the construction to be placed upon its provisions. I find that section C of the act known as the "Australian Ballot Act" says: "Candidates for public office may be nominated otherwise than by convention, committee, or primary meeting. In the manner following, a certificate of nomination containing the name of a candidate for the office to be filled, with such information as is required to be given in certificates provided for in section 3 of this act, shall be signed, etc. "Such certificates may be filed as provided for in section 4 of this act in the same manner and with the same effect as a certificate of nomination made by a party convention, committee, or primary meeting."
Section 3 provides as follows: "The certificate of nomination, which shall be in writing, shall contain the name of the office for which each person is nominated, the name and residence of each person, and if in a city, the street, number of residence and place of business, if any, and shall designate, in not more than five words, the party or principle which such convention, committee, or primary meeting represents."
If the language of section 3 means anything, it means that the certificate of nomination therein provided for must contain the name of the candidate, and the information set forth above, which "is all the information required to be given in a certificate" by the provisions of section 3, and includes the party or principle represented.
It is not, in my judgment, the intention of the statute to give any political party the monopoly of designating who of the members of that party are to be permitted to be candidates for office, otherwise the provisions of section C are of no force or effect, but for the very reason that political parties are too often dominated by elements and combinations which prevent the nomination of these men who are best qualified for the position sought to be filled, and who will be accorded the support of the best element of citizens in the community in which they are to run for office, provision has been made that they may be nominated otherwise than by convention, and to say that a candidate for office under these conditions, although he may be an excellent man, must lay aside his political convictions and brand himself a counterfeit is manifestly not in harmony with the genius and spirit of a form of government which seeks to secure the "greatest good to the greatest number."
To place such a construction upon the language of the statute may be inimical to the interests of "political parties," but it is certainly in harmony with the greater interests of the people at large, whose welfare ought to be considered of paramount importance to that of any political party.
The objections are therefore overruled.

Secretary of Department
SIDNEY J. RENT'S CANDIDACY
Endorsed by the Representatives of Union
Labor of America,
HE REPRESENTS THE TOILING MASSES
Strong nomination for the
Governor for the Office of Commissioner of Public Lands and Buildings from Labor Trademark.
In other respects than on the selection of
His candidacy for governor the late populist
nominating convention was fortunate. Its
choice of a candidate for the Important
Office of Commissioner of Public Lands was a happy
one. Sidney J. Kent's character stands to
bald relief to that of his opponent on the
republican ticket. He is an Englishman by
birth, now 40 years of age, who was indentured
to a master at an early age and served
four years as an apprentice. Then on account of the cruel treatment of his master
he ran away and reached Kansas in time to
see the border war. He is secretary of the
national executive board of the Carpenters
and Joiners association, and is recognized as
the representative of organized labor on the
ticket. How well organized has appreciated
this recognition of its importance is shown
by the letters printed below, written by the
recognized leaders of the cause, the responsible heads of the great central organizations,
in which all others are represented. Stronger
endorsement could scarcely be required:
LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 50, 1891. To the
People of Nebraska: This is to inform the
public that the laboring men of Lincoln,
Neb., did in the month of August, 1892, endorse Mr. S. J. Kent and A. C. Herrick and
the entire populist state and county ticket,
and, further, they ask the assistance of all
laboring men throughout the United States,
and particularly in Nebraska, through a committee of five laboring men of this city,
representing a club membership of 720 members,
and the accompanying are a few letters of
endorsements and encouragement that said
committee has received, and as the railroad
candidates of this state, and particularly Mr.
John M. Thurston, have and are now making
the public statement that the republican
party is the party of the industrial masses,
therefore, we, the committee, desire to inform
everybody interested that the assertions of
the railroad and Thurston candidates are in
the opinion of the highest men of true labor,
and the members of this committee, utterly
false and misleading, as the accompanying
letters will testify, being a true and correct
copy of the original letters now in the hands
of the secretary. Very truly and fraternally
yours,
M. T. WHITE,
Chairman of Committee.
C. E. WOODWARD, Secretary,
809 St., Lincoln, Neb.
OFFICE OF GENERAL MASTER WORKMAN.
ORDER KNIGHTS OF LABOR, DES MOINES, Ia., Oct. 12, 1891. C. E. Woodward, Esq., P. O. "Box 1231, Lincoln, Neb., Dear Sir and Brother: Replying to the kind favor of yourself and committee under date
of September 17, I beg to inform you that
answer was delayed owing to my long absence
in the east. I remember making a
Labor day speech at Lincoln, Neb., three or
four years ago, and many of the brothers
of the American Federation of Labor and
many of the trades unions of that city declined
to attend my meeting because I advocated a ballot box strike. And, therefore, I feel greatly encouraged to learn that you
have begun a strike against the powers which
call oppose you, and when I think that
Brother Sidney J. Kent, with whom I have
an extended acquaintance, and for whom I
have the highest, possible admiration, is a
candidate on the state ticket, and Brother
C. Herrick, candidate for representative
from your county. I feel, that duty calls me
to Lincoln, to offer whatever aid lies in my
power to secure the election of the worthy
brothers mentioned. And I sincerely trust
there is not a Knight of Labor in all Nebraska
who will not do his part to secure the election of the entire populist ticket,
from the lowest to the highest candidate.
But, suffering as I am at present from an
attack of rheumatism, I am unable to travel
and have been compelled to cancel all my
appointments, and therefore cannot come to
your state -and do campaign work.
Wishing the people's party of Nebraska a
glorious victory at the coming election, I am,
Fraternally yours,
J. R. SOVEREIGN.
AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR,
NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 29, 1894. Mr. E. N. Woodward, Secretary Committee Federal
Labor Union, E332, A. F. of L., Lincoln,
Neb.: Dear Sir and Brother I am in receipt
of a copy of the resolution adopted by your
union, and also the information that Brother
S. J. Kent has received the nomination for
commissioner of public lands and buildings
of the state of Nebraska.
From what I know of Brother Kent, I feel
certain that if elected to the position he
certainly, will perform the duties devolving
upon him honestly, energetically and in the
interest of the people. And organized
labor will have reason to feel proud that they
have a zealous advocate and defender in an
important position.
I feel satisfied that the union men of Lincoln
would not have urged the nomination of
Brother A. C. Herrick as a representative lest they
convince the best interests of organized labor
and the people would be served thereby. Brothers
Kent and Herrick have the entire confidence
and sympathy of the wage workers, and what
is now necessary is that the tellers give
their cordial cooperation and support and triumphantly elect these tried and true
workers, S. J. Kent and A. C. Herrick.
With kindest wishes, and hoping that the
nominees will be entirely successful, I am
fraternally yours,
SAMUEL GOMPERS,
President American Federation of Labor.
UNITED BROTHERHOOD CARPENTERS
AND JOINERS OF AMERICA. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 11, 1894. To the Voters of
the State of Nebraska: In the candidacy
of Sidney J. Kent for commissioner of public
lands and buildings, the people of Nebraska
have an opportunity to cast their suffrage
for a man who, in the event of his election,
can and will reflect credit on them in the
position, of trust and honor.
For over four years Mr. Kent has been
the secretary of the general executive board
of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America, an organization of national
importance, covering every state and territory,
with thousands of members.
Through these years he has always served
our organization zealously and faithfully, and
I have always found him painstaking, assiduous to duty
and gentlemanly in character. His honesty,
rectitude, and steadfastness to principle are proverbial.
He is a good, practical, astute, and possessed of marked executive ability.
In the election of Mr. Kent, the working
people of Nebraska will find in him a faithful,
staunch, representative of their best interests.
I have no limitations in saying that
the citizens of Nebraska will find in him a
dutiful and faithful public servant, a conscientious,
faithful officer, and a thorough-going,
progressive man. Laborers, mechanics,
railroad employees, farmers, businessmen,
and citizens of Nebraska should have no
hesitation in voting for Mr. Sidney J. Kent.
His career as a pronounced labor man
commends him particularly to the suffrages and
favor of the industrial classes. Yours,
J. J. Guint,
General Secretary United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners, and First Vice
President American Federation of Labor
Cantered in Omaha.
LINCOLN, Oct. 20. (Special Telegram.)
William Johnson was brought in from Omaha
this evening by Detective Malone and lodged
in Jail on a charge of grand larceny. He is
said to have broken into the house of J. Scheuni
in this city October 16 and robbed it of two overcoats,
a vest, and a quantity of ladies' clothing.
William Hrepullius Out.
WYOMING, Oct. 2 (Special Telegram), J. C. Duron, General Co. by others addressed a rousing republican audience at the opera house tonight. Although the weather was unfavorable, a large crowd was present.
TURN ON ON ONE LINE:
RED CLOUD, Neb., Oct. 29 (Special Telegram). Tom Majors opened the house here this afternoon to about 600 people. He devoted about twenty minutes to the election.
MAJORITY ENTERTAINED A UKNAUGHTY:
LOUISVILLE, Oct. 29. A telegram received here last night from New York stated that Lloyd Tevis had made assertions in San Francisco, CA., to the effect that he had influenced the senior senator from Kentucky, Senator Blackburn, to vote for what was practically a double duty on petroleum.
As soon as Senator Blackburn, who is staying at the Willard Hotel, was made aware of the purport of the telegram, he authorized the following: "I have never seen any interview or statement from Lloyd Tevis with reference to any feature of the tariff bill in which I was involved or in any way connected. I have no reason to believe that he ever made any statement that concerned or affected me.
"As to the petroleum schedule in the tariff bill, I was never mentioned to me by Mr. Tevis or anyone else; nor did I ever have any conversation with Mr. Tevis on that subject, directly or otherwise.
"I never heard until now that Mr. Tevis had any interest in this or any other schedule of the tariff bill. That is all I care to say."
In regard to a query about the alteration of a clause pertaining to petroleum, Senator Blackburn said that he was not on the committee that had this under consideration and was not advised as to the chances. If any were made in the Wilson bill in so far as petroleum was concerned, that being a part of the bill in which he had no occasion to take special interest.
GRAND ISLAND, Oct. 29. (Special.) The German Citizens association on Saturday night endorsed Judge Holcomb for governor, Judge Kendall, republican, for judge of this judicial district, and the populist legislative ticket.
THURSTON ON NATIONAL STAGE:
HASTINGS, Neb., Oct. 29. (Special Telegram.) Hon. John M. Thurston spoke to the people of this city in the opera house this afternoon from 2 to 4 o'clock. The house was filled to its utmost capacity with voters. Among the audience were eighty men from Holdreg, Mr. Thurston confined himself mostly to a discussion of the national issues. His discussion of the tariff was able and to the point. He showed how disastrous the Wilson bill was to the farm industry of the west, such as wheat, cattle, horses, etc. His exposition of the silver question was very well received.
His appeal to the voters to send republicans to the legislature was a powerful one. He said the purpose of the opposition was to prevent the election of a United States senator and to prevent the next senate from being republican. He warned the voters that they need expect no favorable legislation for protection or silver if the next senate were democratic.
ASHLAND, Neb., Oct. 29. To the Editor of The Bee: Saturday night Simpson's opera house was well filled to hear Lambertson and Majors speak. Lambertson made a good speech, talking an hour. Then Majors spoke for about an hour, but lost votes for himself, and told several stories characteristic of the man. Some of them were pretty good hits. There was not the usual enthusiasm of republican rallies. After the meeting, such expressions as these were heard: "If Majors had been my husband, I would have sent him to the laundry where he spoke," "Now I believe every word Rosewater has said about him," "Our party is hard up for material for governor," "He has lost us votes," etc. The Holcomb men are very jubilant. You are indeed doing a good work for the people.
KEARNEY, Neb., Oct. 29. (Special Telegram.) John M. Thurston spoke to a crowded house in the opera house this evening. He clearly demonstrated both by past history and present conditions that the only way to restore prosperity and revive business was to elect a republican legislature, which would enact laws for the protection of American labor and American industries. He showed what the Wilson bill had already done in the way of bringing Mexican cotton and Australian wool here, and that the farmers of Nebraska were directly interested in the results.
Mr. Cooper, candidate for secretary of state, was also present and spoke for a few minutes. The David City Glee club furnished the music.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. Secretary Carter spent part of the day yesterday in reading the testimony heard by the special board at Ellis island in the case of Howard, Mr. Morton's under coachman. The reading was not concluded, however, and it is not likely that a decision will be made for another day or two yet. Accompanying the testimony, which covered 107 typewritten pages, was a long report by the board and a separate letter from Dr. Senner, the Immigration commissioner.
It is understood the board recommends that the secretary's original decision be adhered to and that Howard be deported.
THURSTON'S APPEARANCE FOR REPUBLICAN MONEY:
HEBRON, Neb., Oct. 29 (Special.) The audience which greeted W. J. Bryan Thursday was the largest ever gathered in this county. While this meeting was large, it was not to be compared with the people who came from every direction of the county to listen to Hon. John M. Thurston Friday evening. Fully 6000 people were present. Six hundred marched and carried torches. Thurston made a dressed audience at the opera house and later at the court house and was well received. He dwelt mostly on national issues and closed with an appeal to stand by honest money.
PLAINFIELD AREA HAS NO PREFERENCE:
ODELL, Neb., Oct. 29. (Special.) Saturday night O. Jell's hall was crowded to its utmost to hear J. N. Gaffin and Rewick of Lincoln. Both gentlemen were royally received and roundly applauded. There were some republicans present and when it came Mr. Rewick's turn, his roast of "the state house" was more than some of those who hold D. & M. passes could stand and they vacated.
ARAPAHOE, Neb., 29th (Special Telegram). Prof. W. E. Andrews spoke here this evening to a large and appreciative audience for two hours. He ably discussed national issues. The meeting was opened by the Third regiment Knights of Pythias band. Three cheers were given for Andrews. Three cheers were also given for Prof. Smith and the band.
At Hon. Ben Baker's Thundering Voice. COZAD, Neb., Oct. 29. (Special Telegram.) Ben Baker admitted a large audience here this evening, speaking for more than two hours. His speech was logical and convincing throughout, his explanation of the silver question being especially plain. The Republican Glee club sang appropriate songs and received hearty applause.
At Junita, Neb.; Oct. 29. (Special.) The Republican rally here Saturday night was very well attended considering the state of the weather. A. V. Cole of this place and W. B. Burton of Hastings each made good speeches. The campaign is fairly on here now and bids fair to warm until after the election.
AID HIS RESPECTS TO HILL. Carl Schurz of New York Democrats Why Not Support Him, WAS ONLY A TAMMANY FIGUREHEAD. Tammany Distillers Hill When Hill Won It and So On Externality Hill.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29. Cooper Union was crowded tonight with the reform Democrats showing their determination to support Everitt P. Wheeler, their nominee for governor. The audience was enthusiastic. Ex-Secretary Schurz, who presided, made a speech preliminary to his introduction of Mr. Wheeler. The latter said it was needless for him to say more than to thank his friends for the evening's demonstration and to ask them to stand shoulder to shoulder for the triumph of the cause of democratic principles on election day.
Wheeler L. Peckinpaugh made a humorous speech, scoring Grant. Hon. Carl Schurz was the speaker of the evening. His address was listened to with close attention and was frequently punctuated with applause.
Mr. Schurz began by telling his hearers that he was there as a private citizen, not engaged in active politics, to tell them why David B. Hill should not be elected governor of the state of New York and Everitt Wheeler deserved support.
"There is in this municipality," said Mr. Schurz, "a great struggle going on which is to decide whether the city of New York shall be owned by the inhabitants thereof or by Tammany Hall. It has long been popularly believed that Tammany Hall is a nest of appalling freebooters. Recent disclosures of corruption, blackmail, robbery, of vice and crime, planned and protected for revenue; of terrorizing, of cruel oppression practiced upon the poor, the weak and the helpless, have gone far beyond popular expectation.
"The good citizens of New York concluded last that it was time to make an end of this, Tammany chiefs became alarmed, they saw a day of judgment coming. Their leader chief, Dick Croker, took to his heels. He gathered up the princely fortune he had saved from his revenues as king of New York and retired as a Tammany sage, comfortably conscious of having secured his leisure in season. But the other Tammany chiefs were not so comfortably settled. They had to brave the coming storm. They found themselves at their wits' end and tried various devices. They sang the song of harmony as sweetly as any sucking dove; they would swear all selfish designs. They would nominate a high-toned citizen for mayor. They would endorse a ticket nominated by reform democrats. They would do anything to make people forget the tiger's law and their determinate after election. But all in vain, in their extremity they remembered that under their kind of policy the shortest way from one point to another is a crooked line. The salvation they could not expect to win directly in New York they might secure by a flank march via Albany. They thought themselves of their lifelong friend, their trusty confederate, David B. Hill. If they could only make Hill governor again they need not trouble themselves about a defeat in a mayor election.
"Would Hill be willing to accept the nomination for the governorship? Hardly. Comfortably seated for several years in the senate, he would not like to take unnecessary risks. If asked beforehand, he would refuse. Tammany, therefore, resolved to nominate Hill without asking and the game succeeded. It is the revenge of fate; it is the sin of the evil doer coming home to roost; it is the spy following its own. Hill and Tammany are bound together by natural ties. They share wealth and blood. Their principles are the same; their methods are the same; their alms the same and now, as Ben Franklin said, they will hang together or they will hang separately. As Tammany has always fought Hill's battles, so Hill now fights the battles of Tammany. Every vote for Hill is a vote for Tammany Hall and all that it implies."
SOME OF CLOWELL'S INFLUENTIAL PERIOD.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29. A mass meeting, the proportions of which have never been paralleled in Albany, was the result tonight of the fusion of the two branches of the democracy to tender a greeting to Senator Hill. A noticeable feature of the affair was the presence on the stage as co-speaker with Senator Hill of Congressman Charles Tracy, who is looked upon as a personal representative of President Cleveland. At least 1,500 men took part in the escort of Senator Hill to the hall, among whom was a body of Grand Army of the Republic veterans and two labor organizations. In the boxes at the hall were such Cleveland adherents as Judge Herrick, collector of the port, John Masterson and General Parnsworth. When Senator Hill was introduced he said in part: "Two years ago in this hall, I had the pleasure of speaking for your national ticket at Cleveland and Stevenson, and now again I address the united democracy in Albany county, a democracy united for victory.
"I call your attention to the fact that the campaign of 1882 was one that was won on its merits, and I am convinced that we can win all our campaigns in the same way. I can stand or fall on the principles and the platform of my party, and not deal in personalities. (Applause.)
"He paid his respects to the constitutional convention in about the same strain as at other places, and denounced the apportionment proposed as a purely partisan one, saying that it was expected to pass it because of the peculiar exciting conditions.
"I am here to say that they have reckoned without their host (applause) and this very apportionment scheme has united our party in the entire state as nothing else could unite it."
McKINLEY IN ILLINOIS. Addressed Six Thousand at the Platinum Armory.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29. Governor McKinley of Ohio arrived in the city at 6 o'clock tonight, and was greeted at the depot by a large crowd of enthusiastic republicans, who escorted him to the Chicago Beach hotel, where he dined. About two hours after dinner, the governor was driven to the armory of the First Infantry, where a crowd of about 6,000 people had gathered to hear him. After the rendering of several songs by the glee club, John M. Smyth, chairman of the republican county central committee, introduced Governor McKinley to his audience. Great applause greeted Governor McKinley, and the deafening cheers lasted for four minutes, which he got an opportunity to speak, he made a strong argument in favor of republicanism. He contrasted the Harrison administration with that of Cleveland, and urged the audience to vote for a return of prosperity by supporting the republican ticket.
A rousing reception followed the thundering agent.
LYONS, NJ, Oct. 29. (Special.) Jacob Snyder and his two sons, living nine miles northeast of town, were arrested by a United States marshal last week for selling whisky and beer without the proper license. The men were taken to Dakota City and bound over in the sum of $500. Until the outbreak.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29. The board of election commissioners today ruled that neither of the rival populist city and county tickets were entitled to a place on the official list. The populists were informed, that they must put the names of their candidates before the people on petition.
LOUISVILLE, Oct. 29. About 1,000 enthusiastic democrats assembled in the opera house at New Albany to listen to an address by Senator Blackburn of Kentucky. Mr. Blackburn devoted his time principally to a discussion of the tariff. In closing, he said, "There has never been a bill that did more to relieve the burdens of the country than the tariff bill that has just been passed. It is said by some that it does not go far enough, I am agreed with them, said he, "for to suit me it should have none on until it struck the bedrock of absolute free trade, but us one more opportunity, and the opportunity will come within forty days, and we will undo the vicious Republican legislation."
JONNIESBRO OF SO TRULY INHERENT CLIMATE IN THE DOOR OF THE TICKER.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29. The Committee of Seventy has issued a reply to Mayor Gilroy's defense of Tammany, in which the committee charges misconduct in the administration of municipal affairs. It is signed by Joseph Inouque, chairman, and John R. Kane, secretary. Briefly, this manifesto charges:
First, That the organization of Tammany Hall is a tyrannical and is not in a proper legal form as a political body, but constituted for individual gain.
Second, That Tammany Hall has appointed to important and real estate offices of the city many dishonest and criminal persons.
Third, That under this administration, systematic blackmail and extortion have wrought from the citizens many millions and that the expense of the city government have constantly increased without any corresponding benefit to the community, (quoting from the comptroller's report to prove his assertion).
Fourth, That it has wasted public money by extravagant expenditure of the funds by examination (quoting the chronicle during the past three years, the appropriation for police and street cleaning departments substantiating the charges).
Fifth, That much of the increase of expenditure is due to dishonesty, supplies deliberately and extraneously bought, and names placed on the payroll and money said for services never rendered.
Sixth, That the dock department, to which the official head of Tammany Hall is content with satisfaction, is an over increase of burden to the taxpayers, while it should be a source of large revenue.
Seventh, That although since the year 1855 the taxpayers have paid off $50,000,000 of the city debt, yet at the present time that debt is $85,000,000 more than in 1871.
Eighth, That the taxpayers have been called upon to bear greater burdens than are shown by the tax levy and this statement of the public debt.
Ninth, That because of the extravagance of expenditure, a comparison of London and Paris with New York in regard to the burden shows New York in an unfavorable light.
Tenth, That because of Tammany Hall's ignorant and incompetent management, we are left far behind the other large cities of the world in respect to the comfort and conveniences which all citizens have a right to expect (further changing that those in control or committee should have provided more appropriate and suitable accommodations, public baths and lavatories, parks in the overcrowded districts of the city, and other necessities).

NEW YORK, Oct. 29. So far as the campaign is concerned, the Tammany men place great reliance on their thorough organization, and even their opponents admit that the full Tammany vote will be polled. The adherents of the committee of seventy's ticket base their firm belief in winning upon the contention that there will be, regardless of ordinary political methods, an "uprising of the people" such as overthrew the Tammany rule in 1871.
Perhaps the most important incident of the day was the attempt of an evening newspaper to implicate Colonel Strong in an old matter involving leanings towards the American Protective association, and his prompt denial of any intentional participation in it.
The attention of Mr. Jerome, campaign manager at the headquarters of the committee of seventy, was directed this afternoon to a report emanating from the Grant headquarters to the effect that the committee had violated the statute of 1892 by sending circulars appealing for funds to the city and judicial officers. His only comment was, "The members of the committee of seventy are quite well able to take care of themselves so far as any violation of the election laws is concerned. They are not at all disturbed if such a report as this exists."
At a meeting of the Real Estate Exchange and Government club this evening, resolutions were passed and Tammany Hall was vigorously assailed. A letter from Hon. P. Morton was read, in which the Republican nominee for governor declared himself in full sympathy with the aims and purposes of the club.
Comparatively little betting on the result of the election is being done except on the Stock exchange. There are odds of 10 to 8 against John Snyder's plurality for governor exceeding 25,000, F.T. Adams placing $2,000 against $1,000 of E.H. Meyers' money. An offer was made by one of the Warrrenses to bet up $1,000 to $100 on the plain proposition of Morton's election, but there were no takers.
Few bets have been placed on the mayoralty issue at 1000 to 300 in favor of Strong. As a rule, though, Republican money is held for bets on better terms.
The stream of applicants at the mayor's office for positions as judges of election, although the lists were closed at noon Saturday, fully fifty men applied in person yesterday, but had to be turned away with the information that they were too late. It will take all of today to get the appointments ready for the council, and the official list will not be given out until it has been approved by that body.
In figuring up the applications yesterday, there were found to be twice as many applicants as there were positions. There were 991 written applications filed, which, together with the names of the 228 registrars which will be taken into consideration, will give the mayor a total of 1,222 names to select from. The following shows the number of applications from each ward.

DIONISIUM:
Some days ago, J.M. Coats and C.A.
Jacobson were nominated by petition as candidates for the state senate, but yesterday both of these gentlemen concluded that they would not enter the race, and filed petitions with the county clerk asking and demanding that their names be withheld from the official ballot, which is ready to go to the hands of the printer.
When the people's party convention was held in this city, James Callahan was nominated as the assessor from South Omaha precinct. On October 24, Mr. Callahan informed the county clerk by messenger that he was not a candidate for the honor. This information did not reach its destination in the legal way and there was a refusal to file the withdrawal. The matter was called to the attention of the county judge, and yesterday that official entered an order to the effect that the name of James Callahan should not appear upon the official ballots to be distributed.

Eloise Family heirlooms. Sunday afternoon the residence of Percy D. Ford, 210 South Thirty-first avenue, was entered by thieves in the absence of the family, and silverware to the actual value of $100 stolen. Some of the pieces were family heirlooms of several generations, which would not have been part with at any price.
EXEMPT FROM ATTACHMENT. Wilson in Bond Cannot Be Taken on Processes from State Courts.
OPINION BY ATTORNEY GENERAL OLNEY
Another Stumbling Block in the Way of the Southern Carolina Dispenary Law
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. The attorney general today rendered an opinion on the South Carolina dispensary case presented by Governor Tillman, in which he sustains the opinion of the Treasury department, holding that the state has no authority in law to enter government bonded warehouses for the purpose of seizing whisky declared by the state law to be subject to confiscation. In the course of his opinion, the attorney General says: "The legal status of distilled liquors in a bonded warehouse of the United States and under the control of the collector of Internal revenue is well-settled and stated by section 931 of the revised statutes of the United States, which declares that all property taken or detained by any officer or other person under authority of any revenue law of the United States shall be irretrievable, and shall be deemed to be in the custody of the law and subject only to the orders and decrees of the courts of the United States having jurisdiction thereof. It cannot be held, as has been suggested, and perhaps might well be, that since the tariff act of 1897 the taxes due on distilled liquors in a United States bonded warehouse can be paid only by the distiller. Whether that be so or not, a tender of such taxes by a sheriff is necessarily ineffectual as against the statute above quoted, since it is beyond the power of an Internal Revenue collector to accept it and thus nullify the provisions and deny the policy of a statute which aims to absolutely exempt such liquor from the process of a state court. Such tender, which for the reason stated the collector is incompetent to accept, must be also ineffectual, because no officer of South Carolina has been given the right or power to make it, the legislation of South Carolina not authorizing any such tender nor providing any fund which can be used for that purpose."
Particulars from Argentina. WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. Dr. Zeballos, the Argentine minister here, has received no report from his government of earthquakes in the provinces of San Juan and Tierra. He is hopeful, therefore, that they have not reached the dimensions of a disaster, as these cities are among the most prosperous in the country. A little over 100 miles to the south of the city of San Juan, capital of the province of that name, is Mendoza. In 1861 Mendoza was a thriving city of 25,000 inhabitants, but was utterly destroyed in that year, only about 2,000 of the inhabitants escaping death in the catastrophe. Mendoza and San Juan are almost equidistant from the great active volcano of Aconcagua. The regions in the plains along the foot of the Andes are all subject to frequently recurring earthquakes, and the buildings in the cities have to undergo constant repair from the strain by earthquakes. San Juan and Tierra are important cities, the latter being the center of the wine industry. The two provinces are devoted to fruit raising, canning and wine making.
Post Offices. WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. (Special Telegram.) Post offices have been established as follows: Nebraska, Holeby, Lancaster county, William Kennedy, commissioned postmaster. Iowa, Franklin Mills, Des Moines county, Elizabeth F. Burrus, commissioned postmistress.
The post office at Stone Ridge, Mills county, Iowa, has been discontinued and mail will go to Boso Hill.
Nebraska postmasters have been appointed as follows: Violet, Pawnee county, J. P. Roos, vice J. L. Stitt, resigned; Willow Island, Dawson county, C. C. McKee, vice A. A. Pangborn, resigned.
The comptroller of the currency has approved the selection of the Merchants' National bank of Omaha as a reserve agent for the Saunders County National bank of Wahoo, Neb.
Patents. WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. (Special.) Patents have been issued as follows: Nebraska, Jonas Hackstrom and P. W. Johnson, Stromsburg, electric belt; James Kleinhaus, Jr., assignor to himself and C. E. Curian, Johnston rising attachment for plows; Agnes McFadyen, Lincoln, heating and ventilating apparatus for buildings, John Stewart, Jr., Lincoln, corn cutter and dropper; Orland T. Wood, assignor to P. V. McCullough and A. Wood, Plattsmouth, check row corn planter. Iowa, Carl A. Benrup, Clinton, drilling machine; Charles B. Proctor, assignor one-half to E. L. Morgan and L. Hahnrichs, Milo, folding chicken coop, August Schnell, Clinton, spirit level attachment; John Specht and L. Armand, Gaza, planter. South Dakota, Peter O. Lutness, White Rock, windmill.
Farming by price: more horse power. WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. It will be several days before the exact horse power developed by the torque-to-boat Ericsson can be known. The engineers and officers who conducted the trial have brought a large number of Indicator cards, taken on the run, to the Navy department, and have begun their calculations to ascertain the total horse power. The engines were designed for about 1,500 or 2,000 horse power, and it is believed that they met the expectation of the designers.
Must Be Resolved by the Government. WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. It has been determined that no troops can be used to suppress the lawless bands in the Indian Territory unless called upon by the courts to assist the United States marshals. The request for troops would then come through the Department of Justice.
ON THE ROAD to health, strength, and beauty: a young woman who is taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. In maidenhood, womanhood, wifehood, and motherhood, the "Prescription" is a supporting tonic and nervine that's peculiarly adapted to her needs, regulating, strengthening, and curing the derangements of the sex. Why is it that so many women owe their beauty to Dr.
Pierce's favorite Prescription because
beauty of form and face radiates from the
common center, health. The best bodily
condition results from good food, fresh air
and exercise, compounded with, the judicious use
of the "Prescription."
If there be headache, pain in the back,
bearing-down sensation, or general debility, or if there be nervous disturbance,
nervous prostration, and sleeplessness, the
"Prescription" reaches the origin of the
trouble and corrects it. It deploys aches
and pain, corrects displacements and cures
catarrhal inflammation of the lining membranes,
falling of the womb, dislocation, irregularities, and kindred maladies.
"FALLING OF WOMB."
MRS. FRANK CAMFIELD, of Kansas City, Missouri,
Franchot & Co., N.K., writes: "I deem it
my duty to express my deep, heart-felt gratitude
to you for having been the means, under
Providence, of restoring me to health, for I
have been by spells unable to walk. My
troubles were of the womb, inflammatory
and bearing-down sensations and the doctors
all said, they could not help me. CAMFIELD.
Pierce's wonderful Favorite Prescription
has cured me."

The testimony In tlio Bryant damage suit
took an Interesting character yesterday mornIng -
Ing , from the fact that two young men who
had formerly kept company with the plaintiff
but weru no lonier In very high favor with
her were put upon the stand to tell how she
spent the summer , with a view to showing
that she could not have been suflerlng from
her Injuries so much as she was trying to
make out. The two men were Austin nnd
Das Drown , brothers. The former said he
had made repeated visits to Falrmount park
during the summer In company with the
plaintiff , and although they often walked
back and forth and roamed around over the
hills , she seemed to feel no particular fatigue.
When it came to cross-examine him a rather
amusing dialogue took place between him
and Attorney A. T. Fllcklnger.
"You had a diamond ring belonging to Miss
Ilryant , didn't you ? " said FUcklnger.
"Yes , sir , " was IJrown's reply.
"You pawned It , didn't you ? "
"I did. "
"And the police got after you , didn't they ? "
"No , sir. "
"Hut some of them came to see you , didn't
they ? "
"Yes , sir. "
"And they made you give up the pawn
ticket , didn't they ? "
"No , sir. "
"Hut you gaveIt back to Silas Bryant ,
didn't you ? "
"I did. "

ATTORNEYS AT LOGGERHEADS.
While the evidence was being heard , the
III feeling that has been made only too appar
ent by the attorneys , manifested Itself In a
dialogue In which one of them , for want ol
any more brilliant repartee , made reply In
the shape of a noise that very much resem
bled the barking of a large , healthy dog.
Judge Macy had borne with Christian forti
tude the expressions like "You're- liar"
and "Close your face , " that had passed be
tween the attorneys on former occasions , but
this was too much for him , and he Informed
them that unless more regard was paid to
the rules of court etiquette , ho should be
under the painful necessity of docketing some
contempt cases , and that without further no
tice. The rest of the day passed a little
more quietly , so far as the attorneys were
concerned.
Drs. Harstow and Macrae were put upon
the stand lo dEScr.bean examination which
was made by them to ascertain whether the
pain suffered by the young lady was
Imaginary or real. They put her under the
Influence of anaesthetics , and after they had
rendered her unconscious , found that a slight
pressure on the part affected was sufficient
to make her cry out with pain.
The arguments of the attorneys were be
gun In the afternoon , and another opportunity
was hero presented for each to ventilate his
spleen on the other. I. N. Fllcklnger opened
with a speech In which ho denounced the
Brown brothers ns drunken dudes , Drs.
Thomas and Falrchlld as railway hirelings
and \Vallaco McFadden and Jerry Shea as
spies , who had been set at work by Baldwin
to dog the plaintiff's footsteps and learn her
secrets.
When Attorney Baldwin came to answer
he denounced Fllcklnger as a liar. This ac
cusation was made with a great deal of
oratorical fervor so much to. In fact , that
It attracted the attention of Judge Macy ,
who was figuring on his Instructions to the
Jury. After the epithet had been applied
for perhaps the eleventh time he called Mr.
Baldwin down and requested him to wlth-
draw what he had said , apologize and refrain
from further abuse. Mr. Baldwin demurred ,
but the Judge was Inexorable. After a shcrt
conversation In tones that were Inaudible to
the spectators had been carried on , Baldwin
turned to the Jury and said :
"Gentlemen of the Jury , at the request of
the court I withdraw what I said.about this
man here- pointing to Fllcklnger , "but I
do this merely as an officer of the court.
As a private Individual I have a right to my
personal opinions , and I want It understood
that In withdrawing the remarks at which
the court was offended I cla not change my
opinion a wh t. "
A. T. Fllcklnger closed the argument tor
the plaintiff , and the case went to the Jury
at the evening adjournment.

Itoirltiml to Item&lii in Court.
Dan McSorley's case was finished yesterday
morning and ho was bound over to the
grand Jury on "the charge of stealing $100
from AnJy Kowland. His bond was fixed at
$300 , which Is as good for him as though
It were $50,000. This morning Justice Vlen
will decide the queitlon of what shall be
done with the money , $3SO of which was
In the defendant's possession at the time he
was arrested. Some of the coins have been
positively Identified by Holland , and with
them In the hands of the state's ' attorney
there would be but little doubt of Rowland
sticking by the case to the end. Uul Mc-
Sorley has been mixed up In scrapes before
and seemed to have a pull that rendered
lower Main street unable to cope with him
when It came to an affair In the courts.
The authorities are of the opinion that when
the money Is once turned over to Us rightful
owner rome- way will bo found by JfcSorley
and his friends of making the prosecution
"Ho down , " there bslng no longer any further
financial Interest to Rowland In prosecuting
the case , Justice Vlen will consult Judge
Macy before deciding whether to turn over
the money or to keep It as evidence.

Charles Schoter and John Callahan hav &

The committee appointed to select a
manager for the Y. M. C. A. foot ball team
haa tendered the honor to Charles Thomas ,
who has. accepted the same. Mr. Thomas Is
of the- University of Michigan , where he
managed the foot ball team for two years ,
since which time his ability for managing
and coaching foot ball teams has been demon
strated , first at Baker university , where ho
successfully coached the eleven to the
championship. Among the Baker's victims
chwi
was the Denver Athletic club team ,
which was defeated after n stubborn
battle by a close score. JIanagcr

Thomas assumed the management of the
Younir Men's Christian association eleven
or Monday last , and already the men are
showing- : the benefit of Ills wlso and Ju
dicious handling
So far he has secured the following gnnies

The attendance every year at the great
Yale-Harvard-Princeton Barnes runs any
where from 40,000 to 00,00) , nnd there Is no
reason why the games here between rival
local colleges should not prove attractive
enough ! to uss-cmlilfr toKCther thousands of
enthusiasts who hiive no opportunity to In
dulge In. their pet sport anywhere else.
dirr The Young Hen's Christian nassoclatlon
manasement has secured the grounds
bounded by Fnrnain , Eighteenth nnd Nine
teenth streets for their exclusive practice ,
not only for the regular team , but for all
the members of the otgunizatlon. With
such excellent facilities for preliminary
work there should be no grounds after
defeat for a claim of lack of condition.
In the YounfiMen's Christian associa
tion organization there should certainly be
a full seconO team , with aspirations for n
position In the first team. If a man becomes
disabled or shows that he Is not fast
enough for class A work the best man for
the position could be drafted from the second
end or substitute team , and in this way
Manarer ThoinoB could soon boast of as
muscular nn outfit as any In the- west , for
there Is undoubtedly an abundance of first
class undeveloped timber within this flour
ishing body of modern athletes.
The grounds at Twentieth and Miami
streets are utilized during the week by the
Junior members In that vicinity , and up tf
5 o'clock p. m. the Farnam street jro\mdE
should be available to the Junior * , to whom
they nro the most convenient ami accessible ,
and there unmeD could be arranged for be

CONHY ISLAND. Oct , 29. What with
threatened police Interference' , n previous
postponement and a very light card , it wns
not to be wondered ot that tonight's as
semblage nt the Seaside Athletic club was in
no way representative nntl extremely
meager numerically. At 8 o'clock there
wns not 1,000 people in the building , The
general arrangements were good anil ex
cellent order was maintained , Tim Hurst ,
the well known base ball umpire , was ref
eree ol all the bouts.
Proceedings commenced at 9 o'clock , with
3CCO present. Joe Gates of Birmingham ,
England , versus Jack Madden of Brooklyn ,
nt lOo pounds , wns the first bout called.
Madden was awarded the decision at the
end of the fifth round.
"Dolly" Lyons of New York versus "Kid"
Hasan of Brooklyn , at 115 pounds , ten
rounds , was the next. They had fousht
twice before and had a victory each. The
police stopped this bout In the second round
and Hogan was declared the winner by the
referee- .
Then came the bout of the eveningIt
was between "Kid" Lavlgne of Saglnaw ,
Mich. , and Johnnie Grifliii of Bralntree ,
Mass. , at I2i > pounds , fifteen rounds. La-
vlgne's seconds were Sam Kltzpatrick ,
Jimmy Carrel , Jim Collins and Ullly Lu-
vlgne those In Ills ' -
; opponent's corner -were
Georg-e Reynolds , Bill Crowley nnd Charley
White.
The men entered the ring nt 10:15. : After
a long delay the fighters pot together and
they actually fought at 121 pounds by a
special private arrangement. Lavlsne led
with the left nnd adopted the attack. They
were both wild , although Lavlgne got In a
couple on the body. When time was called
there was' little to record. Grlflln Old not
look well and handled himself as though
away off.
In the second Lavlgne did almost nil the
fighting , being especially effective with the
right. He was after his man all over the
ring and had a good lead when the third
round ended. In the next It was worse for
Orltlln. but he tool ! his punishment gamely.
It was the same In the fifth and sixth
rounds. In the latter both slipped down
nnd Griffin left off with much the worst of
It , Wowing hard and looking much dis
tressed.
Knterlns the seventh round. Lavtene wns
again hard at his man and fought him all
over I ho ring. Qrillin's gnmenesa was re
markable , for hewns everywhere outgener
aled. He fought very weakly.
The elKhth saw matters much the same.
Grlllln aroused himself a bit in the ninth
round , but the think was becoming
monotonous.
In the tenth Grlflln Improved considerably
and srot tn a few good right-handers , being-
cheered to the echo. Hound eleven gave
Grillln's backers another ray of hope , us he
freshened wonderfully , but ho lost many
opportunities and was very tired nnd weak
at the close.
In the twelfth Lavlgne began to bleed
from the nosennd showed visible signs of
weakening while Griffin made many friends
by his game attempts.
In the thirteenth round.there wns some
tcrrlrte Infighting and Lavlffne developed
nome wlldneas In his leads. They frequently
clinched and once a knockout looked cer
tain , but the gone sounded Just In time to
save Griffin.
In the fourteenth round of thla game
flffht Lavlgne went nt it wickedly nnd
downed his man. GrIITin was up before the
limit expired , but wns met with blows that
fell like rnln. Three times h6 was all but
out , but the gong- gent him to his corner
amidst tremendous cheers. Last round
Lavlirne rushed and downed Grldlii ns soon
as the men reached the center. Then the
police Interfered. Lavlpne. was declared the
winner and the crowd cheered loudly for
th lighters , while a few hlfses were given
for the police Inspector.

record Wns made upon the regulation oval

for the quarters was : First , 0:21 : 2-5 ; second ,
0-22 ; third. 0:25 : ; last quarter , 0:21. : As rec
ords of this kind ( on a straightaway course )
are not recognized by the League of Amer

be officially announced Zelslcr's mile rec

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Bryant Suit Gets on a Lively Gaity in Judge Macy's Court,
ATTORNEYS WARM THINGS UP A LITTLE
With a Leveled Argument of Witnesses and the Bright Issue of the Law, the Witness or the Plaintiff in the Suit
Parley Hughes, Bryant's Attorney,
The testimony in the Bryant damage suit took an interesting character yesterday morning, from the fact that two young men who had formerly kept company with the plaintiff but were no longer in very high favor with her were put upon the stand to tell how she spent the summer, with a view to showing that she could not have been suffering from her injuries so much as she was trying to make out. The two men were Austin and Das Drown, brothers. The former said he had made repeated visits to Fairmount Park during the summer in company with the plaintiff, and although they often walked back and forth and roamed around over the hills, she seemed to feel no particular fatigue. When it came to cross-examine him a rather amusing dialogue took place between him and Attorney A. T. Flickinger.
"You had a diamond ring belonging to Miss Bryant, didn't you?" said Flickinger.
"Yes, sir," was Brown's reply.
"You pawned it, didn't you?"
"I did."
"And the police got after you, didn't they?"
"No, sir."
"But some of them came to see you, didn't they?"
"Yes, sir."
"And they made you give up the pawn ticket, didn't they?"
"No, sir."
"But you gave it back to Silas Bryant, didn't you?"
"I did."
Bas Brown told about a buggy ride he took with Miss Bryant to the Mayne farm east of the city, but Miss Bryant and the sister-in-law were both put upon the stand and knocked his testimony into a cocked hat by flatly denying that they had ever gone to the Mayne farm there in a buggy.
ATTORNEYS AT LOGGERHEADS.
While the evidence was being heard, the ill feeling that has been made only too apparent by the attorneys, manifested itself in a dialogue in which one of them, for want of any more brilliant repartee, made reply in the shape of a noise that very much resembled the barking of a large, healthy dog. Judge Macy had borne with Christian fortitude the expressions like "You're a liar" and "Close your face," that had passed between the attorneys on former occasions, but this was too much for him, and he informed them that unless more regard was paid to the rules of court etiquette, he should be under the painful necessity of docketing some contempt cases, and that without further notice. The rest of the day passed a little more quietly, so far as the attorneys were concerned.
Drs. Harstow and Macrae were put upon the stand to describe an examination which was made by them to ascertain whether the pain suffered by the young lady was imaginary or real. They put her under the influence of anaesthetics, and after they had rendered her unconscious, found that a slight pressure on the part affected was sufficient to make her cry out with pain.
The arguments of the attorneys were begun in the afternoon, and another opportunity was here presented for each to ventilate his spleen on the other. I. N. Flickinger opened with a speech in which he denounced the Brown brothers as drunken dudes, Drs. Thomas and Fairchild as railway hirelings, and Wallace McFadden and Jerry Shea as spies, who had been set at work by Baldwin to dog the plaintiff's footsteps and learn her secrets.
When Attorney Baldwin came to answer, he denounced Flickinger as a liar. This accusation was made with a great deal of oratorical fervor so much so, that it attracted the attention of Judge Macy, who was figuring on his instructions to the jury. After the epithet had been applied for perhaps the eleventh time, he called Mr. Baldwin down and requested him to withdraw what he had said, apologize, and refrain from further abuse. Mr. Baldwin demurred, but the Judge was inexorable. After a short conversation in tones that were inaudible to the spectators, Baldwin turned to the jury and said:
"Gentlemen of the jury, at the request of the court, I withdraw what I said about this man here - pointing to Flickinger - but I do this merely as an officer of the court. As a private individual, I have a right to my own opinions, and I want it understood that in withdrawing the remarks at which the court was offended, I do not change my opinion at all."
A. T. Flickinger closed the argument for the plaintiff, and the case went to the jury at the evening adjournment.
Almost like electricity; Dr. Price's Baking Powder, because it works so quick. No other works so fast.
WILL IMPOSSIBLY HIDE THE EVIDENCE.
Money Stolen by Dan McSorley from Andy Rowland to Appear in Court.
Dan McSorley's case was finished yesterday morning and he was bound over to the grand jury on the charge of stealing $100 from Andy Rowland. His bond was fixed at $300, which is as good for him as though it were $50,000. This morning Justice Vlem will decide the question of what shall be done with the money, $380 of which was in the defendant's possession at the time he was arrested. Some of the coins have been positively identified by Rowland, and with them in the hands of the state's attorney there would be but little doubt of Rowland sticking by the case to the end. But McSorley has been mixed up in scrapes before and seemed to have a pull that rendered lower Main street unable to cope with him when it came to an affair in the courts.
The authorities are of the opinion that when the money is once turned over to its rightful owner, some way will be found by McSorley and his friends of making the prosecution "ho down," there being no longer any financial interest to Rowland in prosecuting the case. Justice Vlem will consult Judge Macy before deciding whether to turn over the money or to keep it as evidence.

The Lift Taken.
Several local sports have been running the town over the last few days, looking for people who would like to bet on Weaver, and offering all kinds of inducements. It is rumored that they found what they were looking for too soon, and are now trying to find a graceful way to hedge. They do not like the people who are looking all over town for bargains and don't find them unless they happen into T. B. Hughes' downtown gents' furnishing establishment, for when they once see the immense bargains he is giving in men's and boys' underwear, shoes, caps, and gloves, they don't try to hedge, but proceed to lay in their winter's supply and go away happy. If you want to find what you are looking for, and have the money, go down to 91c * Main street, and you are sure to find it.
Father of the Present Holy Talk to it. Bland. AT Dohany's last evening, the house was only partially filled. The speech was devoted principally to the silver question, to which Mr. Bland has given a life study. He was armed with a multitude of statistics by which he proved to the satisfaction of the free democrats and populists present that his theory was the correct one. He took advantage of the opportunity of hitting the Sugar trust a hard blow, and incidentally, of course, hit the sugar senators a similar blow, to the delight of most if not all of his hearers. He limited his speech to little over an hour, and by 9:16 o'clock the house was dark. Next Monday night the democrats and populists will hold their final rally of the campaign. General Weaver will be present and make a speech. He has issued a challenge for anybody to meet him in joint debate on that evening. The challenge that was extended to him several weeks ago by Judge S. of P. Van Atta, has never been taken notice of by him.

Denver Women Found Dead In Their House
Two Murderers "Murdered."
DENVER, Oct. 29. The inmates of the disorderly houses on Market street are in a state of mind bordering on panic, in consequence of the belief that they are in danger at the hands of a supposed strangler. On September 3, Lena Tapper was found dead in bed, choked, and the murder remains a mystery, although Richard Demady, with whom she lived, was arrested and is now under bonds awaiting action. Yesterday, Marie Cantarella was found dead in bed, and her appearance indicated that she had been choked to death. Richard Demady, Charles Schoter and John Callahan have been arrested. Demady recently wrote Marie asking her to live with him, and she refused. She had lived with Schoter until a week ago. Callahan claimed last week to have been robbed of $170 in Marie's house, and he was seen in the neighborhood Saturday night.
Antonio Santo Pletro, messenger of the police department, and Emill Taymens were also arrested on suspicion. Both were in the house, according to their statements, when the murder was committed, yet they heard no disturbance. Taymens was employed by the woman as cook, and is said to have been very jealous on account of the preference shown by her for Santo Pletro. Santo Pletro has been dismissed from the police force. The murdered woman is believed to have had considerable money, and as only 25 cents were found in the house after the murder, one theory is that robbery was the motive for the crime.

LOCAL FOOTBALL HATERS
Charles Thomas Secures Coach for the
Y, M. C. A. Team to Victory.
PROSPECTS ARE GOOD IF ALL WILL HELP
Member Urged to Show Their Interest In
the Game by Tuldns Part College
To start in Play against School
The committee appointed to select a manager for the Y. M. C. A. football team has tendered the honor to Charles Thomas, who has accepted the same. Mr. Thomas Is of the University of Michigan, where he managed the football team for two years, since which time his ability for managing and coaching football teams has been demonstrated, first at Baker University, where he successfully coached the eleven to the championship. Among Baker's victims were the Denver Athletic club team, which was defeated after a stubborn battle by a close score. Manager Thomas assumed the management of the Young Men's Christian association eleven on Monday last, and already the men are showing the benefit of his wise and judicious handling.
So far he has secured the following games for the local park; Saturday next, November 3, with the Doane college formidable eleven; Saturday, November 10, with the University of Nebraska, and on Thanksgiving day, November 29, fixture for the day, the University of Nebraska against the University of Iowa. Here are the college frames galore, and Omaha's football enthusiasts should unite in an effort to make each and every one of these contests a bright success. This can be done by setting out a full attendance, and there are numerous ardent devotees of the great American sport within a radius of fifty miles to all the beautiful park to her limit. If an endeavor is made to get them to turn out in full force, the attendance every year at the great Yale-Harvard-Princeton games runs anywhere from 40,000 to 60,000, and there is no reason why the games here between rival local colleges should not prove attractive enough to assemble thousands of enthusiasts who have no opportunity to indulge in their pet sport anywhere else.
The Young Men's Christian association management has secured the grounds bounded by Farnam, Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets for their exclusive practice, not only for the regular team, but for all the members of the organization. With such excellent facilities for preliminary work, there should be no grounds after defeat for a claim of lack of condition. In the Young Men's Christian association organization, there should certainly be a full second team, with aspirations for a position in the first team. If a man becomes disabled or shows that he is not fast enough for class A work, the best man for the position could be drafted from the second or substitute team, and in this way Manager Thomas could soon boast of as muscular an outfit as any in the west, for there is undoubtedly an abundance of first-class undeveloped timber within this flourishing body of modern athletes.
The grounds at Twentieth and Miami streets are utilized during the week by the Junior members in that vicinity, and up to 5 o'clock p.m. the Farnam street grounds should be available to the Juniors, to whom they are the most convenient and accessible, and there could be arranged for between the juniors of the two localities, and a good deal of interesting sport thus provided for.
On Saturday next, the Omaha High school eleven will line up against the Lincoln High school team at Lincoln. It will be a battle royal. The Omahans are as lusty a set of young athletes as can be found in a week's journey and well may the Capital City lads feel proud if they are fortunate enough to beat them. The Omaha team will line up as follows: Ayres, left end; Tukey, left tackle; Jensen, left guard; Cross, center; Jackson, right guard; Cowgill, right tackle; Purvis, right end; Whipple, quarterback; Lehmer, right half; Gardner, left half; Clarke, full back. Substitutes: Burdick, Humphrey, Hopkins, Collard, McKell.
POLICE SQUAD TO FAIL.
Onion "Grid" Developing Top Notch, to
Poland Off Johnny Griffin. Overcoming.
CONEY ISLAND, Oct. 29. What with threatened police interference, a previous postponement and a very light card, it was not to be wondered at that tonight's assemblage at the Seaside Athletic club was in no way representative and extremely meager numerically. At 8 o'clock there were not 1,000 people in the building. The general arrangements were good and excellent order was maintained, Tim Hurst, the well-known base ball umpire, was referee of all the bouts.
Proceedings commenced at 9 o'clock, with 600 present. Joe Gates of Birmingham, England, versus Jack Madden of Brooklyn, at 100 pounds, was the first bout called. Madden was awarded the decision at the end of the fifth round.
"Dolly" Lyons of New York versus "Kid" Hasan of Brooklyn, at 115 pounds, ten rounds, was the next. They had fought twice before and had a victory each. The police stopped this bout in the second round and Hogan was declared the winner by the referee.
Then came the bout of the evening. It was between "Kid" Lavington of Saginaw, Mich., and Johnnie Griffin of Braintree, Mass., at 121 pounds, fifteen rounds. Lavington's seconds were Sam Kitzpatrick, Jimmy Carrel, Jim Collins and Ulysses Lavington; those in his opponent's corner were George Reynolds, Bill Crowley and Charlie White.
The men entered the ring at 10:15. After a long delay, the fighters pounded together and they actually fought at 121 pounds by a special private arrangement. Lavington led with the left and adopted the attack. They were both wild, although Lavington got in a couple on the body. When time was called there was little to record. Griffin looked not well and handled himself as though away off.
In the second Lavington did almost all the fighting, being especially effective with the right. He was after his man all over the ring and had a good lead when the third round ended. In the next it was worse for Griffin, but he took his punishment gamely. It was the same in the fifth and sixth rounds. In the latter both slipped down and Griffin left off with much the worst of it, showing hard and looking much distressed.
Entering the seventh round, Lavington was again hard at his man and fought him all over the ring. Griffin's gameness was remarkable, for he was everywhere outgeneraled. He fought very weakly.
The eighth saw matters much the same. Griffin aroused himself a bit in the ninth round, but the thing was becoming monotonous.
In the tenth Griffin improved considerably and threw to a few good right-handers, being cheered to the echo. Round eleven gave Griffin's backers another ray of hope, as he freshened wonderfully, but he lost many opportunities and was very tired and weak at the close.
In the twelfth Lavington began to bleed from the nose and showed visible signs of weakening while Griffin made many friends by his game attempts.
In the thirteenth round there was some terrace infighting and Lavington developed some wildness in his leads. They frequently clinched and once a knockout looked certain, but the bell sounded just in time to save Griffin.
In the fourteenth round of this game, Lavington went at it wickedly and downed his man. Griffin was up before the limit expired, but was met with blows that fell like rain. Three times he was all but out, but the gong brought him to his corner amidst tremendous cheers. Last round Lavington rushed and downed Griffin as soon as the men reached the center. Then the police interfered. Lavington was declared the winner and the crowd cheered loudly for the fighters, while a few hoots were given for the police inspector.
Killant Accepts Dare, Challenges.
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 29—A. M. Elliott, the Kansas City wing shot, has accepted Dr. Carver's challenge to the world to shoot a series of three races at Chicago under practically the same conditions that governed the Kansas City matches. Elliott has named November 8, 9, and 10 as the dates that would be agreeable to him. The selection of Mason's grounds, with Watson as referee and stakeholder, as suggested by Dr. Carver, is perfectly satisfactory to Elliott. The three races are to be at 100 birds to each man, each day, for £100 a side, and an additional £100 on the aggregate score made in the three shoots.
Milan and O'Brien Meet in Boston.
BOSTON, Oct. 29.—Over 800 sports crowded into the rooms of the Lafayette Social and Athletic club tonight to witness the meeting of Mysterious Billy Smith and Dick O'Brien. The fight was declared a draw by referee Murphy at the end of the tenth round. O'Brien was the stronger by far, but he had not the punishing power of his adversary. Smith weighed under the stipulated weight of 115 pounds, while O'Brien was six pounds overweight. Both men were strong and eager at the close of the tenth round.
Whitehill Is Tipped.
A. Whitehill, who led the pitchers in the Western association this season, was in the city several hours yesterday, en route from California to New York. The deacon, looking fine after his trip, was never finer in his life, reports have him playing ball at a very low ebb on the coast, but predicts a revival in the spring. Whitehill will be given a trial by the Pittsburgh National league team, and if he is able to duplicate the work he did here during the latter part of the season, it is highly probable that he will make a win of it.

The Omaha Horse and Bicycle Club.
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 29. To the Sporting Editor of The Bee: Beg pardon for correcting your answer to the inquiries of Wahoo parties "A Header" and Quinn, relative to the speed of the horse and bicycle on a straightaway course. In Sunday's Bee, you stated that Otto Zelgler, the California cyclist, had ridden the "mile in 1:60 flat," Johnson's record. While this is true, his record was made upon the regulation oval or circular track. Salvator's record was made over a straightaway course at Monmouth Park. The fastest time ever made on a bicycle for the mile on a straightaway course was that made by John S. Johnson, October 21, 1891, at Buffalo, N.Y., on the Tonawanda boulevard, 1:30 2-5. His time for the quarters was: First, 0:21 2-5; second, 0:22; third, 0:25; last quarter, 0:21. As records of this kind (on a straightaway course) are not recognized by the League of American wheelmen, his record will probably not be officially announced. Zelgler's mile record was lowered October 27 at Walhalla, Mass., by Harry Tyler, official time, 1:43 3-3, run on a regulation circular or oval track. So you will observe there is very little difference in time between the mile as made by the running horse and the bicycle on a straightaway course: Salvator, 1:35 4; Johnson, 1:23 2-5.
Thanks, however, for your kindly interest.
WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 29.—Harry Tyler regained the two-mile flying start world's record here this afternoon, making the distance in 4:01 3-4, paced by tandems. Butler held the record of 4:01 4-5, made at Springfield last month. A.W. Porter made a new class A record in the mile, standing start, riding in two minutes flat. The record was 2:02 4-5.
AVOCA, la., Oct. 29.—Special. Henry Sells of this place and Frank Gies of Walnut, la., ran a fifty-yard race yesterday for $25 a side, Sells winning by a scant yard at the finish.

The Qmaha Hoard of Health should

lates and levy blackmail upon butchers
'or political barbecues. Its function is
o protect the health of the community
from contagion nud see to It that stale
egetnbles nnd tainted meats shall not

idopted a resolution some months ago
rolilbitliig nil of Its employes from nud-
lllng with politics , but this order Is
lonorcd In the breach rather than In the
lerformance. Theie has ni-ver been the
slightest attempt niadi ; to enforce It.
Julio the contrary , the employes have
been allowed to pack primaries and at-
end conventions while drawing pay for
'till time. The most blatant nnd defiant
jmploye of the board is Meat Inspector
frank. lie has not only persisted in
Icfyiug orders , but has taken it upon
ilmself to hold up butchers for con-
libutlons to a political barbecue. A
nore scandalous abuse of power 1ms

IKCUMR TAX fCOT TI1K ISSUE.
The New York Hun has been for a
week or longer exerting the most frantic
I'lTorts to make the repeal of the Income
tax the Issue lu the pending campaign
ind It has succeeded in drawing out ex
pressions from nearly all the congres
sional candidates In New York City ,
without regard to party lines , condemn-
ng the existing luctmiu tax law and
[ iromlslng both to vote and to work for
Its repeal. The Bun , however , has not
lieen able to subordinate other questions
to this one question. In other states
the congressional nomli.ees have In some
cases explained where they stand on
the Income tax proposition , but lu none
of them Is the battle being fought upon
this line. Whether Ihe house goes de no-
cratft ! or republican , therefore , the people
ple will not know whether It means a
majority in favor of or against the re
tention of the Income tax.
TUe reason why th Income tax hns
been , as it were , temporarily shoved into
the Imckgiound , seems to be that It has
not yet really gone into effect , and no
one is in a position to say what the act
ual results of Its enforcement are to be.
The now law provides for n tax upon
the Income derived during the current
year , but that tax does not become pay
able until the beginning of the year 18.S.
The poor have not been lightened of any
burdens by It up to this time. ISut
neither have the rich been forced to pay
the very obnoxious tribute to the tax
collector. The Income tux under the
present law is nn unknown quantity.
The people know no more about it aliice
thu law was enacted than they did when
the proposition was debated lu congress.
It mny be taken for granted tlmt the
republicans In congress will , as a rale ,
be opposed lo the Income tax aud favor
able to Its repeal. A small minority of
the democrats will be In agreement with
the majority of the * republicans npou thin
point , but there will ha such differences
of opinion as to what should take Us
place tlmt Uio prospect of new revenue
legislation cannot be very brilliant The
exigencies of the treasury will not per
mlt it to glvo up the expected Income
tax receipts without substituting some
thing lu their stead. What shall bo thu
substitute is where the opponents of the
tax will divide. Even were the pitI
dent Inclined to approve an act to do
away with thu Income tar provision ui
the law ho would scarcely approve one
that carried with It the restoration o ,
any of the protective tariff duties. In n
word , even If the Income tax were thu
sstie of ( Ills campaign and n nmjortly
against It wore secured In liotli houses
of congrcsa , It would Btltl bo very un-
Ikcly Hint any legislation looking to
Is repeal would run ilio gauntlet of the
executive nitniHloit nnd be flnnlly pro
mulgated ns law. All tha appeals that
iho Now York Sun may print cannot
nako nil lucoitie tax Issue for the coining
election.

A COAL ll'l II
With the foretaste of winter we are
laving consumers of coal will learn
with satisfaction that a war seems hn-
nlniMit aiming the anthracite coal pro-
Utcing and carrying companies , the ef
fect of which would , of course , be to
educe the price of coal. The monthly
neetlng of the sales agents of the coal
companies was held In Xew York last
week , and it is noted tlmt for the first
line In several years the meeting ad-
onrned without : adopting any resolu-
lon concerning the restriction of the
output of coal for the month of Novem-
ier. It Is said the result will he
: lmt the various producers will iriine to
the full capacity of Hie market. The
meeting went through the formality of
ordering an advance in circular prices
ir November , but with unr slrlcted pro-
Inclion and active competition in all
ii'arkets u cutting of prices will be In-
'vltable.
The ofllchil circular prices are not being
egarded generally , cuts from them liav-
ngbeen made in various markets. The
idvanee In prices ordered for Novem
ber are regarded in the trade as made
argely for effect , the idea being that
they might cover up the disagreement
imong tlie larger interests regarding
reduction , even though they did not re
sult In netting better prices for conl to
the producers. A conservative estimate
of tht amount of anthracite coal that
will 1)0 ) mined In November in the ab
sence of a restrictive agreement Is
4.2.TH.OOO to 4,7r > 0,000 tons. This amount
has only been exceeded In .lime last ,
when , under the Influence of the soft
coal miners' strike , the output of anthra
cite reached about ! i , ! iO,000 tons , every
company having worked Its mines to
heir full lapnctly to get out this amount
of cotil. Since June the output has not
been reduced in proportion to the de
creased demand consequent iipon the
resumption of production of soft coal , so
that a great deal of anthracite must
have gone Into stock or been marketed
In I lu west at low prices , the latter
probably being the case. Assuming that
to be so , the future demand Is likely to
be below the usual amount , which , to
gether. with tin unrestricted output ,
would certainly compel a lower range
of prices.
The existing situation Is tile result of
competition with the anthracite pool.
made up of the great companies tlmt
produce nearly tiie entire output of hard
coal. This competition consists of the
New York , Ontario & Western and the
New York , Husquehnnnu & Western
roads , which arranged for handling an
anthracite tonnage independently of the
older companies. Delng refused a share
of the pool business , these two com
panics began marketing coal at cut
prices , nnd they succeeded In bringing
the pool to their figures. Then came
trouble in the pool , and the differences
appear to be of a nature tlmt will bo
settled only by radical treatment. That
an adjustment will bo reached mny be
confidently predicted , for the Interests
involved arc not going to make any sac
rifices tlmt can be avoided. In the mean
time the consumers of anthracite coal
will bo benetlted , or nt any rate such
of them as are in a position to take ad
vantage of the existing conditions. It
Is certainly high time that the public be
given some advantage , for It 1ms nearly
always been compelled to pay Inrge
tribute to the greed and .rapacity of the
anthracite coal pool.
The democrats in Now Yorlc are salil
to be doing precisely what the republic
nus of Nebraska are doing namely , mak
ing use of the state house employes for
the clerical work necessary to the pros
ccntlou of the campaign. This la , of
ionrse , nn abuse to be reprehended ,
without regard to the party to whoso
advantage It accrues. The state em
ployes are paid out of the public treas
ury to do the public work , and
It Is their duty to attend to the
same and to make It take precedence
of nil private enterprises. To Impress
Into the fltTvlf-c of candidates for olllco
meu who nn supposed to be engaged In
uiblk' business Is the same as levying a
tax on thu.t > mniiiuiilty to defray cam
paign cxiMjmcs. The mere suggestion
of such a Tiling Is enough to prove the
vIclouBiiessrofMlic practice.
T. J , Majors' record ns lieutenant gov
ernor Is one of tireless nnd unremitting
service to dm railroads of Nebraska. As
president of itho senate lie was the con
stant associate ami himn companion of
railroad iCirplierH and paid lobbyists.
When the maximum freight rate bill
was before the Hcnnti * he manipulated
every step InUcii to block Its passage
and was In close communication with
Ihe railroad contingent , ready and will
ing at all times to do their bidding. On
one notable occasion , when a crisis had
icon reached In the consideration of the
bill , a railroad lobbyist passed a note up
to Majors , who was presiding over the
senate. The note read : "Tom : What
have we got you there for ? " Tom know
what that meant. It was notice from
the railroad malingers tlmt he must not
be caught napping , at his post of duty
when the Interests of the railroads were
In Jeopardy. Should the railroads suc
ceed hi disfranchising enough voters tel
l it Majors In the governor's chair they
will then know , and lie will know , what
they have got him there fort
Mr. Bryan nnd populist co-laborers
may talk free nnd unlimited coinage of
silver to thulr hearts' content , but Ne
braska produces no silver. It Is a na
tional Issue. The fight In Nebraska has
simmered down to u square contest be
tween foufrderuted monopoly on Ilie one
side and the masses on the other. The
piestlon Is , shall the government of this
great state he placed back Into the hands
of the people , or shall the corporations
continue to usurp every function of gov
ernment ? Supporters of Silas A. Hoi-
comb nre determined that railroad
bosses shall be forced out of politics and
compelled to confine their efforts to le
gitimate railroad business. That Is till
they ask , and they have this year made
tp their minds that the people must and
shall resume control of the state govern-
iieut.
The great body of common people
comprising four-fifths of the voters of

They propose'.ta ' let each merchant make

: o the candidate1 who is being fought by
ihe confederated corporations of this
state. Ignqrnjiec of the true Issue will
exempt no mini. There is not n citizen
of Omaha w.hp cannot learn in one
hour's time that every device known to
political warfare is being resorted to
> y the allied corporations to compass
the election of T. J , Majors. Against
this powerful force Is arrayed the un-
Hirchiuieable And conscientious voters of

Artisans JniuV worklngmen of Omnlm

everybody else knows , that T. J. Majors
Is the candidate of the railroad bosses ,
who are spending their money and de
tailing their agents In every quarter of
the state to force Majors upon the people
ple of this state. They know that If
Majors is elected he will simply be the
puppet of the railroads , and will not be
[ icrniittcil to represent the great mass
of citizens on any Issue involving rail
road Interests. They know that Slla.s A.
Ilolcomb will , when elected governor oC
Nebraska , treat the railroads fairly and
that he will see to it that the rights of
till the people are protected. lie stands
for equality before the law.
Certain business men who signed the
snve-the-state manifesto are wishing
they had not been so ready to do the
bidding of the railroad bosses and de
positories. They did not stop to con
sider what the legitimate results must-
be. They now see very clearly that the
corporations have led them into n trap
which Is bound to cost them many hun
dreds of dollars In trade. Their travel
ing men come back with empty order
books. The country merchant has de
clared that lie can buy his goods else
where In cities where wholesale mer
chants and bnnkers have too much sense
to commit the fatal blunder of mixing
business with politics.
Men who have been working nil sum

who attempts to cast a ballot in this
state renders himself liable to prosecu
tion , and , on conviction , to penal servi
tude in the penitentiary. 1'romlses of
pardon from Tattooed Tom will not beef
of much avail , for the very simple rea
son that the railroad candidate will not
be in a position to Issue pardons to any
one. Whoever attempts to cast a fraud

year. The conl miners meet the situation
with rare discrimination. They promptly
raise the price of coal , and continue to add a
I1U1& more each month till the winter breaks
up. In tfte process the families of the poor
are milked drop by drop for the keenest

Tlut U the pious exclamation which heads
AM editorial In the democratic Cleveland
Plain Dealer protesting the return of the
lion. Tom Johnson to con Kress.
Congressman Johnson lins provided himself
with * movable campaign tent and Is con
ducting a political circus according to hli
own notions. Thcro Is plenty of tongue satico
and tieantits In It , and It Is the great nightly
attraction of the town. liven those who
dislike his free trade doctrine confess that
he has done more than nny one else to kindle -
dlo general Interest In the approaching elec
tion. He U n handsome man , and boar a
upon his ample forehead the ulanip of a clear ,
capable , fearless nnd dominating Intellect ,
tie hns a strong , clean cut mouth anil reason
ably developed lips , B long chin and & de
cided jaw , His check bones nro prominent , t' .
his eyes full nnd strong nnil htr wears no ' / [
hair on his face , He la fearless nnd pos
sesses so much ot egotism that once sure of
his motives and principles ho suffers llUlo . ,
Inconvenience from the quips and criticisms
Of the outside world. Uvcry one In Cleveland
Is fond ot him , but many agree with the old
[ .inner who said , "Totn'll alwuys. be a good
man , but he'll never amount to shucks In
politics , 'cause he's too durneil ready to spit
out what he thinks. "
So It happens that Mr. Johnson's circus vt
draws a big croud , no matter 1n what part
of town or the surrounding country ho
chances to pitch Mi lent. It Is the rcgula- . .
tfon 100-foot round top circus tent , with
two fifty-fool middle pieces. Tiers of Beats
extend around the wall canvas , except along
ono end , In which a movable platform is
1Heel. ( There Is sawdust on the ground , and
the tent Is lighted by gasoline chandeliers
around the three center poles ,
No peanuts are sold In Uio tent , but as a
crowd wouldn't feel contented In a tent with
out cracking "goober peas , " they procure
them In unlimited quantities from stands
outside , So with n band with as strong '
lungs as any that over blew braes In a cross
roads show , with ushers Beating Ihti throng ,
with boys hawking single tax tracts , and
with halt the crowd munching peanuts. It
looks llko a real old-tlmo country clrcm
just before the procession begins ,
The tent Is pitched on a new lot every
day. Mr. Johnson speaks every night , and h
Is supported by other speakers , all of whom
seem to enjoy the novelty of the thine. Mr.
Johnson hns already challenged all the most
prominent republican speakers In town to
debate In his circus lent , and an several of-
thein , and a populist leader besides , have
accepted , there will bo some rattling shows
next week.
Some of the swallowtail democrats profess
to scorn what they are ple-ased to call "John
son's tomfoolery. " To which Jlr. Johnson ,
In n speech the other night , retorted : "I'd
rather the old fogies would bo ngalnst mo
this year than not. It's the young men
I'm after. The old fellows never learn
anything anyhow. " After eiory speech Mr. , _
Johnson Invites the crowd to ask questions.
Then there Is fun. Hepubllcans como
loaded with the most perplexing queries ,
which they flrt > at him In volleys. This
question and'answcr business Is a good doul
llko the dialogues between Master ferryman
nnd the ring master , for they keep the '
audlonco In almost continuous guffaws.
Sometimes Tom gets the better ot a ques
tioner and sometimes ho Is worsted , but It
Is all fun for the crowd.
The crowd had a great treat the- other
night , when Mr. Johnson made humorous
and satirical comments on this paragraph
from a local newspaper :
"Johnson's Juncbcrry Jelly Is represented
by the fat fakir to be Iho most wonderful
discovery of the closing decade ot th ? nine
teenth century. It fs said that from what
ever it comes in contact with poverty dis
appears. A simple application of It is said
to produce warm overcoats for the coatlcss , , -
plenty of ready cash for the penniless nnd 1-1

Idle -workmen. A skillful analyst has found
that the Ingredients contained In the pasty
mass are free trade , which la a stow poison
found on the Island ot Chaos : single tax ,
a deadly herb which first took root in the
skull of a deceased lunatic , and the essence
of the brains of country wreckers. And
this Is the concoction that 'Ur. ' Tom L.
Johnson has been trying for the last two * < .
weeks to palm off on the Intelligent people
of the Twenty-first congressional district. " ' " *
Ho laughed with the crowd while reading
the paragraph , and they laughed harder
over the quips and humor of his replies.

Suggest to the bankers and business men who have signed the railroad man manifesto that it is necessary for them to employ a dishonest man to take charge of their affairs in order to restore their credit and they will laugh you out of countenance.
No one who hopes to see the state recover the money lost in the Capital National Bank wreck should fail to register his protest against placing the control of the case against the bondsmen of the state treasurer in the hands of the candidate who is part and parcel with the ring.
Tom is noted for his generosity. He was the author of a resolution authorizing the members and employees of the legislature to appropriate and carry off the furniture which the taxpayers had paid for. The fact that the furniture did not belong to him ought not to detract from Tom's reputation for generosity.
There is no opposition to the Intersection paving bonds, so that the only danger to this proposition lies in the possibility of voters neglecting to express themselves upon it. A failure to vote on the paving bonds is equivalent to a vote against them. Everyone who wants to see public improvements go forward in Omaha next season should record himself in favor of the paving bonds.
It is intimated that the reason why President Cleveland refused to register in New York is because he had grave doubts as to whether he still retains a legal residence in that city. If this interpretation of the law should become the commonly accepted one, we shall not be surprised some day to see the president of the United States resigning his office in order to recover the elective franchise.
Our business men who are so anxious to stand up for Omaha might exert their influence with the management of the Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City Railroad to bring the first train that is soon to run between Chicago and the Black Hills a little closer to Omaha than Missouri Valley. The new schedule leaves Omaha out of the course entirely and thus takes all the northwestern traffic by without stopping in or even passing through this city. Omaha would certainly derive marked benefits from a change that would give her a share of the traffic. It is something worth trying for.
Every one must admire the courage with which Princess Alix enters into matrimonial alliance with the heir to the Spanish throne. The czar, while it is true, might, if he wished, renounce the succession, but he finds himself in his present position by mere accident of birth. He could not escape the plots of nihilists and other enemies if he wished. The princess, however, assumes the risks knowingly and voluntarily. To her, it is a duty which she has to perform to maintain the royal house. It is a duty that involves courage and self-sacrifice which few can appreciate.
LET IT BE BORNE IN MIND BY EVERY VOTER IN NEBRASKA THAT THE DESPERATE EFFORT MADE BY THE CONFEDERATED CORPORATIONS AND STATE HOUSE RING OF BOODLERS TO ELECT THOMAS J. MAJORS IS NOT IN THE INTEREST OF GOOD GOVERNMENT OR FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE CREDIT OF THE STATE. THE RAILROAD MALINGERS WANT MAJORS BECAUSE, AND ONLY BECAUSE, THEY KNOW THEY CAN USE HIM FOR DEFEATING EVERY MEASURE THAT TENDS TO CURTAIL THEIR POWER TO LEVY TRIBUTE ON OUR PRODUCERS AND KEEP UP THE SYSTEM OF DISCRIMINATION AND FAVORITISM BY WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DOMINATE THE STATE. THE RAILROAD MANAGERS WANT MAJORS BECAUSE THEY WANT A MAN IN THE GOVERNOR'S CHAIR WHO WILL VETO THE MAXIMUM RATE BILL IF IT IS DECLARED DEFECTIVE ON TECHNICAL GROUNDS BY JUDGE CREWELL AND WILL HAVE TO BE RE-ENACTED BEFORE IT CAN GO INTO EFFECT. THE STATE HOUSE RING WANTS TOM MAJORS TO HELP THEM BRIDGE THE CHASM WHICH MOSHER'S COLLAPSED BANK CREATED IN THE STATE TREASURY AND PLACE THEM IN CONDITION TO CONTINUE THE PLOUNDERING SCHEMES BY WHICH THE STATE TREASURY HAS BEEN LOOTED OUT OF OVER $1 MILLION DOLLARS WITHIN THE LAST TEN YEARS.
Last, but not least, the bondsmen who have been called into court to make good the $85,000 (and interest) lost to the state by Mosher's forgeries and swindles want Majors elected to give them a chance to get from under that bond.
Those various interests are all banded together under pretense of averting calamity and general ruination of the business interests if an honest man, who has never trained with political footpads and highwaymen, should be elected to the office of governor. With these facts held in view, the intelligent and conscientious citizen will be in condition to stand up for Nebraska and her credit without stumbling into a railroad culvert covered by republican colors.
AT THE Omaha Board of Health should either attend to its legitimate business or be abolished. The business of the board of health is not to boom commodities and levy blackmail upon butchers for political barbecues. Its function is to protect the health of the community from contagion and see to it that stale vegetables and tainted meats shall not be sold to consumers. The board adopted a resolution some months ago prohibiting all of its employees from engaging in politics, but this order is honored in the breach rather than in the performance. There has never been the slightest attempt made to enforce it.
Julio the contrary, the employees have been allowed to pack primaries and attend conventions while drawing pay for full time. The most blatant and defiant employee of the board is Meat Inspector Frank. He has not only persisted in levying orders, but has taken it upon himself to hold up butchers for contributions to a political barbecue. A more scandalous abuse of power has not been attempted by any public officer. It stands to reason that the butchers and packers who have composed with his demand for exorbitant prices and sheep will be let alone, no matter whether they violate the health ordinance or not, while the butchers who do not contribute will be on the blacklist.
This is a nice state of affairs for a city like Omaha. Is it not about time for the Board of Health to give Inspector Frank a permanent vacation and let him go politics for a living? If the board does not take action, it will show clearly that it has outlived its usefulness as a health board and should be abolished.
City officials have a right to vote as they please, and when they are not on duty they may attend political meetings, but when they spend most of their time in bullying voters and levying tribute upon parties whose business comes under municipal supervision they should be displaced by men who will not scandalize the department with which they are connected.
INCORRECT TAX FOR THE ISSUE.
The New York Sun has been for a week or longer exerting the most frantic efforts to make the repeal of the income tax the issue in the pending campaign and it has succeeded in drawing out expressions from nearly all the congressional candidates in New York City, without regard to party lines, condemning the existing income tax law and promising both to vote and to work for its repeal. The Sun, however, has not been able to subordinate other questions to this one question. In other states, the congressional nominees have in some cases explained where they stand on the income tax proposition, but in none of them is the battle being fought upon this line. Whether the house goes democratic or republican, therefore, the people will not know whether it means a majority in favor of or against the retention of the income tax.
The reason why the income tax has been, as it were, temporarily shoved into the background, seems to be that it has not yet really gone into effect, and no one is in a position to say what the actual results of its enforcement are to be. The new law provides for a tax upon the income derived during the current year, but that tax does not become payable until the beginning of the year 1888. The poor have not been lightened of any burdens by it up to this time. But neither have the rich been forced to pay the very obnoxious tribute to the tax collector. The income tax under the present law is an unknown quantity.
The people know no more about it since the law was enacted than they did when the proposition was debated in congress. It may be taken for granted that the republicans in congress will, as a rule, be opposed to the income tax and favorable to its repeal. A small minority of the democrats will be in agreement with the majority of the republicans upon this point, but there will be such differences of opinion as to what should take its place that the prospect of new revenue legislation cannot be very brilliant. The exigencies of the treasury will not permit it to give up the expected income tax receipts without substituting something in their stead. What shall be the substitute is where the opponents of the tax will divide. Even were the president inclined to approve an act to do away with the income tax provision of the law, he would scarcely approve one that carried with it the restoration of any of the protective tariff duties. In a word, even if the income tax were the sole issue of this campaign and a majority against it were secured in both houses of congress, it would still be very unlikely that any legislation looking to its repeal would run the gauntlet of the executive veto and be finally proclaimed as law. All the appeals that the New York Sun may print cannot make the income tax issue for the coming election.
CONSIDERATE AFFAIRS CONSIDERATE.
Ex-legislator Marpole, who belongs to the class of political fungi that thrive on milked pap, has seen fit to take for his text in a speech before a university club at Lincoln the inconsistencies of The Bee and its editor. According to the Burlington Journal, Mr. Marpole rehashed what The Bee had said concerning the blessing of David H. Mercer for a prince in congress two years ago and what it said of him at the opening of the present campaign. To a man of Mr. Marpole's makeup, who sees nothing improper in the debauchery of lawmakers by paid lobbyists, the standard set up by The Bee for aspirants to higher office may seem too exacting. But men who consider probity and moral rectitude as essential prerequisites for positions of power and trust take a different view from that of the spectacular Mr. Marpole.
As a matter of fact, The Bee has been consistent and honorable in dealing with Mr. Mercer, as he will acknowledge himself. It would have been inconsistent and dishonorable for The Bee to land Mr. Mercer in his first canvass in the face of the fact that its editor is on record in the volumes of testimony taken before the senate railroad committee and the Pacific railroad commission regarding Mr. Mercer's funereal vocation as a paid lobbyist. On this point, The Bee has no retraction to make or apology to offer. In commending the conduct of Mr. Mercer since he has been in congress and crediting him with the good work he has done, The Bee has shown itself capable of doing what its traducers have never admitted. It has never failed to treat all public men fairly. It commends them when they render good service and condemns them when they betray public confidence.
What object had Mr. Marpole in recalling at this time the unpleasant things The Bee had said concerning Mr. Mercer? Was it for the purpose of disproving what The Bee had said in his favor? Was it not really a cowardly stab in the back of a man who has distanced him in the race for political prominence.
A COAL STRIKE
With the foretaste of winter, we are having consumers of coal will learn with satisfaction that a war seems imminent aiming at the anthracite coal producing and carrying companies, the effect of which would, of course, be to reduce the price of coal. The monthly meeting of the sales agents of the coal companies was held in New York last week, and it is noted that for the first time in several years, the meeting adjourned without adopting any resolution concerning the restriction of the output of coal for the month of November. It is said that the result will be that the various producers will aim to the full capacity of the market. The meeting went through the formality of ordering an advance in circular prices for November, but with unrestricted production and active competition in all markets, the cutting of prices will be inevitable.
The official circular prices are not being regarded generally, cuts from them having been made in various markets. The advance in prices ordered for November are regarded in the trade as made largely for effect, the idea being that they might cover up the disagreement among the larger interests regarding reduction, even though they did not result in better prices for coal to the producers. A conservative estimate of the amount of anthracite coal that will be mined in November in the absence of a restrictive agreement is 4.2 to 4.7 million tons. This amount has only been exceeded in June last, when, under the influence of the soft coal miners' strike, the output of anthracite reached about 12 million tons, every company having worked its mines to their full capacity to get out this amount of coal. Since June, the output has not been reduced in proportion to the decreased demand consequent upon the resumption of production of soft coal, so that a great deal of anthracite must have gone into stock or been marketed in the west at low prices, the latter probably being the case. Assuming that to be so, the future demand is likely to be below the usual amount, which, together with the unrestricted output, would certainly compel a lower range of prices.
The existing situation is the result of competition with the anthracite pool, made up of the great companies that produce nearly the entire output of hard coal. This competition consists of the New York, Ontario & Western and the New York, Mohawk & Western roads, which arranged for handling an anthracite tonnage independently of the older companies. During refused a share of the pool business, these two companies began marketing coal at cut prices, and they succeeded in bringing the pool to their figures. Then came trouble in the pool, and the differences appear to be of a nature that will be settled only by radical treatment. That an adjustment will be reached may be confidently predicted, for the interests involved are not going to make any sacrifices that can be avoided. In the meantime, the consumers of anthracite coal will be benefited, or at any rate such of them as are in a position to take advantage of the existing conditions. It is certainly high time that the public be given some advantage, for it has nearly always been compelled to pay large tribute to the greed and rapacity of the anthracite coal pool.
The democrats in New York are said to be doing precisely what the republicans of Nebraska are doing, namely, making use of the state house employees for the clerical work necessary to the prosecution of the campaign. This, of course, is an abuse to be reprehended, without regard to the party to whose advantage it accrues. The state employees are paid out of the public treasury to do the public work, and it is their duty to attend to the same and to make it take precedence of all private enterprises. To impress into the filing cabinet of candidates for office men who are supposed to be engaged in sublimated business is the same as levying a tax on the community to defray campaign expenses. The mere suggestion of such a thing is enough to prove the viciousness of the practice.
T. J. Majors' record as lieutenant governor is one of tireless and unremitting service to the railroads of Nebraska. As president of the senate, he was the constant associate and companion of railroad infringers and paid lobbyists. When the maximum freight rate bill was before the senate, he manipulated every step in order to block its passage and was in close communication with the railroad contingent, ready and willing at all times to do their bidding. On one notable occasion, when a crisis had been reached in the consideration of the bill, a railroad lobbyist passed a note up to Majors, who was presiding over the senate. The note read: "Tom: What have we got you there for?" Tom knew what that meant. It was notice from the railroad malingers that he must not be caught napping, at his post of duty when the interests of the railroads were in jeopardy. Should the railroads succeed in disfranchising enough voters to get Majors in the governor's chair, they will then know, and he will know, what they have got him there for.
Mr. Bryan and populist co-laborers may talk free and unlimited coinage of silver to their hearts' content, but Nebraska produces no silver. It is a national issue. The fight in Nebraska has simmered down to a square contest between subsidized monopoly on one side and the masses on the other. The question is, shall the government of this great state be placed back into the hands of the people, or shall the corporations continue to usurp every function of government? Supporters of Silas A. Holcomb are determined that railroad bosses shall be forced out of politics and compelled to confine their efforts to legitimate railroad business. That is what they ask, and they have this year made up their minds that the people must and shall resume control of the state government.
The great body of common people, comprising four-fifths of the voters of Omaha, are watching the action of retail merchants in the present campaign. They propose to let each merchant make his own choice in lending support to a conservation candidate for governor or the candidate who is being fought by the confederated corporations of this state. Ignorance of the true issue will exempt no man. There is not a citizen of Omaha who cannot learn in one hour's time that every device known to political warfare is being resorted to by the allied corporations to compass the election of T. J. Majors. Against this powerful force is arrayed the unwavering and conscientious voters of Omaha in support of Judge Holcomb. Choose ye this day whom ye shall serve.
Artisans and workingmen of Omaha, the choice is yours. Shall the corporations shall not govern this state at their own sweet will. They know, as everybody else knows, that T. J. Majors is the candidate of the railroad bosses, who are spending their money and detailing their agents in every quarter of the state to force Majors upon the people of this state. They know that if Majors is elected he will simply be the puppet of the railroads, and will not be permitted to represent the great mass of citizens on any issue involving railroad interests. They know that Silas A. Holcomb will, when elected governor of Nebraska, treat the railroads fairly and that he will see to it that the rights of all the people are protected. He stands for equality before the law.
Certain business men who signed the "save-the-state" manifesto are wishing they had not been so ready to do the bidding of the railroad bosses and depositories. They did not stop to consider what the legitimate results must be. They now see very clearly that the corporations have led them into a trap which is bound to cost them many hundreds of dollars in trade. Their traveling men come back with empty order books. The country merchant has declared that he can buy his goods elsewhere in cities where wholesale merchants and bankers have too much sense to commit the fatal blunder of mixing business with politics.
Men who have been working all summer on the B. & M. extension in Wyoming and Montana are not entitled to vote in Nebraska. Everyone of them who attempts to cast a ballot in this state renders himself liable to prosecution, and, on conviction, to penal servitude in the penitentiary. Pardons from Tattooed Tom will not be of much avail, for the very simple reason that the railroad candidate will not be in a position to issue pardons to anyone. Whoever attempts to cast a fraudulent vote at the coming election will close the door to his political future.
The advent of cold weather will be immediately noticeable in the calls for assistance upon the county poor authorities. This year, there will be at least the usual number of dependents to look after, and the commissioners have endeavored to develop a systematic plan of action, and this should be followed from the start. There are too many worthy poor to waste; resources at our command on funds and impostors.

Curious Coincidence Severely Punished.
Philadelphia Ledger.
The old story of the Frenchman who complained that when an Englishman in a car called to him to "look out" he meant that he should look in, has had a trifle illustration in Illinois, where the brakeman of a car, having noticed the passengers of danger meaning that they should keep within the car, excited their curiosity, and several who stuck their heads out of the window to look for danger were struck by projecting cattle chutes and badly injured, one of the number being killed.

Mr. Christian Conrad of Delaware County, a., claims to have reached the remarkable age of 115 years. Some doubters ridicule the claim, but Mr. Conrad points to the fact he has used tobacco and whiskey for 100 years as irreutable proof of his live score-and-fifteen.
The offer of a Detroit woman to give for missionary purposes all revenue derived from the sale of eggs laid by her hens on Sunday was promptly laid on the table. The meeting at which the tender was made could not encourage Sabbath breaking even though the heathen perished.
Dr. H.T. Humboldt is dead. Twenty years ago his name adorned every dead wall and covered columns in nine out of every ten newspapers in the land. He was a Napoleon among patent medicine men, and spent millions in advertising his "buchu." For every dollar he spent in advertising made him, and was at one time a multi-millionaire. Insanity and an asylum ended his career.
Rome, beautiful male resident of Fort Gibson, Indian Territory, sneered at the prowess of the modern woman and ridiculed her ability in town painting. Miss Louisa Cook, sister of the eminent train robber and cutthroat, heard the sneers and resolved to end the author and rebuke the town which marauded him. Riding into town clothes-pin fashion, she pumped lead into the windows of the houses, sent every straggler to cover, and made a sieve of the railroad station. No one tried to arrest her, indeed the greatest deference was shown her during her visit.
THE BOSTON REVIVAL.
Minneapolis Times: Hohenzollern-Schickowski, the new chancellor of Kaiser Wilhelm II, seems to have been well provided with an amoeba when he made his first entrance onto the stage of life. A High-Low-Schilling-Prince is rather suggestive of high, low, jack, and the emperor will probably curtail the game.
Chicago Tribune: In France and Spain, governmental methods are very similar to those of England. In Germany, however, everything depends upon the mood and whims of the emperor. He can appoint and throw out chancellors at his own sweet will. It would be better for the government and for the people of Germany if their parliamentary methods were more nearly assimilated to the English and if the chancellor had a party at his back in the Reichstag instead of being, as it were, the mere creature of the emperor and always at his mercy. If this is not done, some day it will make serious trouble for Germany.
St. Paul Pioneer Press: The resignation of Chancellor von Caprivi and Count Eulenberg, president of the Prussian council of ministers, is likely to prove embarrassing to Emperor William. For it is apparently the outbreak on the surface of differences which are likely to lead to the disruption of parties as well as the cabinet. The immediate question at issue seems to have been how to treat the socialists. The chancellor favored a moderate policy. Eulenburg wanted sternly radical measures of repression. The latter represents, in an extreme degree, the ideas of government which make socialists. Socialism flourishes in Germany because it is the natural form of the reaction from the imperial paternalism of the reigning dynasty.
POOR COAL?
Chicago Mail: The sorrows of the anthracite coal dealers should soften the hearts of the people who have to buy coal. These dealers have been doing business at a loss. They themselves have said so, and it must be so. "Many causes" are given why this has been so, but they don't need to be recapitulated. The public has complete trust in what the coal dealers say, and when they say business has been done at a loss that is enough.
Chicago Post: The anthracite coal miners deserve notice for their unusual rapacity.
They have developed the business of grinding the faces of the poor until it has become a science. Families of means usually buy their coal in the summer and early autumn. Probably the cellars of most well-to-do people are filled already. But it is not until the first shrewd days of November that the needy begin to make provision for the cold weather. They buy a ton or a half a ton at a time, beginning about this period of the year. The coal miners meet the situation with rare discrimination. They promptly raise the price of coal, and continue to add a little more each month until the winter breaks up. In the process, the families of the poor are milked drop by drop for the keenest necessity of life. The coal operators grow fat and happy. Their dreams are peaceful, their lives are without worry, but they prosper on the misery of others. From him that hath not shall be taken even that which he hath.
Denver Republican.
The United States ought to construct or at least provide for the construction of a cable to Hawaii. But Congress seems not disposed to do anything in that direction, and it may be that the proposition of certain English capitalists to the Hawaiian government in regard to installing such a cable will be accepted, under modifications. It is a matter of satisfaction that the reports say that the government will not consider that part of the proposition which involves the cession of one of the islands to Great Britain in the event that the other members of the group are annexed to the United States. Such a cession would meet with much hostility from the people of this country, and the United States should not permit the acquisition of any territorial interests in the Hawaiian group by Great Britain or any other European power. It would be a nice stroke, far England, if it could induce the Hawaiian government to surrender to it one of the islands, of which it might eventually make any use it pleased.
Minneapolis Journal.
Since the democratic tariff went into effect, the Welsh tin plate makers have been pouring their product into the country, the shipload. Every pound of this tin plate imported from abroad is displacing American labor, which, under the Republican tariff, found a new field of industry in the increasingly large manufacture of American tin plate. A train of fifteen cars of tin plate from Wales is on its way to Milwaukee from Baltimore now.
Huffington Express.
Italy is again confronted by a deficit in the budget. The country is wretchedly poor, there is a ring of civil servants interested in keeping up taxes, and its position in the Triple Alliance obliges the kingdom to maintain a naval establishment beyond its means. No statesman has yet arisen who has courage enough to tackle the problem of reducing the public expenditures.
Kansas City Star.
The many gentlemen who have been pulling all sorts of wires with the end in view of serving their country as Indian agents will have to go into mourning or hunt some other jobs.

"WHEN WOMEN CRY.
Kansas City Journal,
When women cry, the starry skies
Down, dawn with sympathetic eyes.
And mountains echo and vast deep
Pull out their handkerchiefs and weep,
While wretched man doth hang his head
And wish sincerely he were dead,
When women cry."
Charles Pollen American.
There was yet you call a maxim
That I heard one day,
And I wrote it in my album,
So that it could not away;
And I tell mine little one about it:
It's too late to lock the stable
When the horse has gone out.
When I see upon the corners
Of the streets, most every night,
The loafers and the hoodlums.
Who does next but to show and fight,
I say to mine Katriona:
"Let us make home bright and glad,
We had better lock the stable,
So our rolls don't get away." When you see those teed-off urchins,
Not much over here high table,
Shump right into their melon patch.
Just own the garden gate,
And watch each teed-off rascal
When he comes back, he says "bottle,"
Look out and lock your stable.
So your nag don't skydoodle
When the young man at the counter
Wants to speculate in stocks,
And buys here some time-old rings,
And piles right up on the rocks.
Look out for that young fellow;
I was safe to say
That the stable was empty
And the horse was gone away.
Then drink time by the fetlock;
Don't hurry through life's courses;
According to the poet says,
"Life's but a span" oft horses;
The pay he will the coming man;
He careful while you may;
Just keep the stable boiled,
And the horse don't get away.
About Johnson's incantation.
Eloquent Free Trader in Noble Bluster at Cleveland -
Inniid, Ohio.
"Alas, my oil," Forbids"
This is the pious exclamation which heads
An editorial in the democratic Cleveland
Plain Dealer protesting the return of the
Hon. Tom Johnson to Congress.
Congressman Johnson has provided himself
with a movable campaign tent and is conducting a political circus according to his own notions. There is plenty of tongue satico
and sentiment in it, and it is the great nightly
attraction of the town. Even those who
dislike his free trade doctrine confess that
he has done more than anyone else to kindle
a general interest in the approaching election. He is a handsome man, and bears upon his ample forehead the stamp of a clear,
capable, fearless and dominating intellect,
has a strong, clean-cut mouth and reasonably developed lips, a long chin and a decided jaw. His check bones are prominent, his eyes full and strong and he wears no hair on his face. He is fearless and possesses so much of egotism that once sure of his motives and principles he suffers little
inconvenience from the quips and criticisms
Of the outside world. Everybody in Cleveland
Is fond of him, but many agree with the old
clerk who said, "Tom'll always be a good
man, but he'll never amount to shucks in
politics, 'cause he's too durned ready to spit
out what he thinks."
So it happens that Mr. Johnson's circus not
only draws a big crowd, no matter in what part
of town or the surrounding country he
chances to pitch his tent. It is the regular
100-foot round top circus tent, with
two 50-foot middle pieces. Tiers of seats
extend around the wall canvas, except along
one end, in which a movable platform is
reached. There is sawdust on the ground, and
the tent is lighted by gasoline chandeliers
around the three center poles.
No peanuts are sold in the tent, but as a
crowd wouldn't feel contented in a tent without
cracking "goober peas," they procure
them in unlimited quantities from stands
outside. So with a band with as strong
lungs as any that ever blew brass in a cross
roads show, with ushers beating the throng,
with boys hawking single tax tracts, and
with half the crowd munching peanuts. It
looks like a real old-time country circus
just before the procession begins.
The tent is pitched on a new lot every
day. Mr. Johnson speaks every night, and he
Is supported by other speakers, all of whom
seem to enjoy the novelty of the thing. Mr.
Johnson has already challenged all the most
prominent republican speakers in town to
debate in his circus tent, and among them,
and a populist leader besides, have
accepted, there will be some rattling shows
next week.
Some of the swallow-tailed democrats profess
to scorn what they are pleased to call "Johnson's tomfoolery."
To which Mr. Johnson, in a speech the other night, retorted: "I'd
rather the old fogies would be against me this year than not. It's the young men
I'm after. The old fellows never learn
anything anyhow." After every speech, Mr. Johnson
Invites the crowd to ask questions.
Then there is fun. Republicans come
loaded with the most perplexing queries,
which they fire at him in volleys. This
question and answer business is a good deal
like the dialogues between Master ferryman
and the ringmaster, for they keep the
audience in almost continuous guffaws.
Sometimes Tom gets the better of a questioner and sometimes he is worsted, but it
is all fun for the crowd.
The crowd had a great treat the other
night, when Mr. Johnson made humorous
and satirical comments on this paragraph
from a local newspaper:
"Johnson's Junberry Jelly is represented
by the fat fakir to be the most wonderful
discovery of the closing decade of the
nineteenth century. It is said that from whatever
it comes in contact with poverty disappears.
A simple application of it is said
to produce warm overcoats for the coatless,
plenty of ready cash for the penniless and
unbounded happiness for the sorrowful and
idle - workmen. A skillful analyst has found
that the ingredients contained in the pasty
mass are free trade, which is a slow poison
found on the Island of Chaos; single tax,
a deadly herb which first took root in the
skull of a deceased lunatic, and the essence
of the brains of country wreckers. And
this is the concoction that Mr. Tom L.
Johnson has been trying for the last two
weeks to palm off on the intelligent people
of the Twenty-first congressional district."
He laughed with the crowd while reading
the paragraph, and they laughed harder
over the quips and humor of his replies.
So one is pretty certain to see some new
fun every time he or she visits Mr. Johnson's one-night stand circus.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 29. The rcargument
of the Long pension case In the district court
ot the District of Columbia docs not awaken
much Interest. Commissioner Lochren Is
confident that the same opinion will bo
reached. In his annual report the com
missioner reviewed the Long case at seine
length. In which he said :
"This case lias attracted wlilo attention
becauEo oC the ( act that the pensioner Is one
ot the Judges ot the supreme court of
Michigan , and has upon the rostrum and
through the press unstinting- ! denounced
the bureau and myself for alleged arbitrary
and Illegal proceedings In the reduction of
his pension , and because of the suits Insti
gated by him In this district against myself
to prevent such reductions. "
After reviewing proceedings In the
ease , Commissioner Lochren says : "It ts
quite clear that under an honest but mis
taken interpretation of the pension laws by-
prior commissioners this pensioner has ob
tained from the treasury more than $7,000
to which ho was never lawfully entitled.
Should ho make good his assertions that ho
will take this case for decision to the
supreme court ot the United States he may ,
when It shall be finally decided , consider the
propriety of returning this money to the
treasury. "
In the same report the commissioner dis
cusses the ttork ot special examiners which
have been criticised In congress and else
where. The commissioner says : "The re
port of the chief of the division exhibits the
character and Importance of Its work.
Case ] which appear to have merit , but In
which claimants are unable to obtain es
sential evidence are , with such Information
In | respect to witnesses as the bureau can
obtain , placed In the hands of special exam
iners , who are often able to discover and
obtain tha evidence necessary to prove the
claims. , The larger part of the force is
always kept employed in this chus of work.
Dut the special examination division , aided
aa it Is by thD law divisions , constitutes tlio
main protetclon which the government has
against fraud and Imposition.
DISHONEST ATTORNEYS RESPONSIBLE.
"Most of th& pension attorneys and claim
agents are- capable and honorable , but some
among them are the most dishonest nnd
unscrupulous ot men , dealing habitually In
perjury , forgery anil every species of fraud ,
Without special examiners the villainy of
such men would operate without check or
fear of detection and bo generally successful ,
and It Is too often now In spite ot all safe
guards.
"Such men attract the unworthy as clients
the bounty Jumpers , coward. * and deserters
and the fraudulent mallgners. As many ot
their crimes are discovered their fraudulent
cases overthrown and themselves and their
guilty confederates brought to punishment by
the work of special examiners ( there were 19) )
convictions for pension frauds latt year ) , it
Is but natural that such men and their
clients should be loiM and unceasing In de
crying special examiners as spies , and seek
Ing with the aid of unscrupulous partisan
newspapers and politicians to create preju
dice against ipcclal examiners in the minds
of deserving pensioners and others. The
worthy and deserving soldiers , who are
still modest In the race for pensions , are
elbowed to the rear by the unworthy , who
are as importunate In their contlnuo.1 struggle
for pensions and increases as when operating
for bounties. They crowd themselves to
the front at soldiers' gatherings with resolu
tlons for rnoro pensions and denunciation !
of every regulation tending to unmask or
prevent dishonesty and fraud as 'unfriendly
to the soldier. ' Their Insatiable grec-d and
disclaiming of alt resolutions mide to Insure
honesty and restrain or discover fraud ,
shamelessly proclaimed , lias done much lo

dier."U
"U hai been reported that the attempt to
discover frauds Is a new movement an !
credit being glveh me in that direction to
which I am not ialrly entitled , "
FRAUDS HAVH- ALWAYS EXISTED. .
The commissioner .then copies extracts
from reports of c'AmmlsslonerH ever since
1867 to show that1 tnti1 utmost care Is neces
sary lo prevent fraudulent pensions , after
which he adds : "I have selected the six ex
tracts from the reports of the commissioners
since the civil war to show that special ex
aminations , fraudulent claimants , dishonest
claim agents , and the practice of dropping
unworthy pensioners from the rolls prevailed
In the past. Dut In those early days the
frauds In pension cases did not find active
champions In public men nor much support
from the public. "
The provision placed upon the pension ap
propriation bill December 21. 1893. preventing
the commissioner from suspending pensions
until fraud has actually been established ,
the commissioner says , has been carried out ,
but with no advantage to the bureau.
"The effect of this provision Is to take
from the officers of this bureau the power to
Interfere where they plainly see the treasury
being plundered by the fraudulent an4 un
worthy. I could cite numberless Instances
of pensioners havingno title , pensioners
drawing more than one pension , widows who
have remarried who continued to draw pen
sions , ami all manner of fraudulent and Ille
gal pensions , where the treasury would con
tinue to bo plundered for a tlmo with the
knowledge of the. officers of this bureau
who , because of that provision , were ren
dered powerless to prevent it , "

WASHINGTON , Oct. 29. Colonel Charles
Ileywood , commandant of the United States
marlno corps , In his annual report to the
secretary of the navy , asks for an Increase of
the corps , Ho says that by keeping the
number ot men up to tha legal allowance
last year the duty was performed with less
hardship to the men , and. In consequence , the
number of desertions very materially de
creased ,
The commandant la satisfied that deser
tions In the marine corps were caused In a
largo measure by the hard work the men
were called upon to perform. Last year
they were able to hnvo two days off guard ,
which was a great relief from the necessity
of "day on and day off , " to which they had
been subjected. Still , In comparison with
the army , where men ore never less than five
days off guard , this Js hard ; duty and Is too
much of a tax on the physical energies of
the men , and to produce oven better results
there should be nir'lncreaso In the number
of privates. The demand Increases every
day , both on shorojiim afloat , in view ot the
many new vessels TvSTcii will soon bo placed
In commission. ' <

themselves efficient and useful In the per

WASHINGTON , Oct. 29. The United States
supreme court today reversed the decision of
the circuit court In the case ot John C. Eno ,
formerly president of the Second National
bank of New York , who was convicted of
forgery in the New York state courts about
ten years ago. Eno raised the point that
the state courts were without Jurisdiction and
that he could be- tried only In the federal
courts. This view of the law was upheld
by the circuit court , but Is upset by today's
decision of the supreme court , which re
manded the case to the state courts.
The ground on which Eno resisted state
court jurisdiction was that the offense , un
der the banking laws of the United Stales ,
was under the exclusive Jurisdiction of the
federal court. The case has been watched
with Interest by bank officers and others.
Justice Harlan rendered the decision of tlio
court , while Justices Field and Shlras ills-
sented In nn opinion denying the jurisdiction
of the state courts ,
NEW YORK , Oct. 29. John C. Eno re
turned to New York City on February 20 ,
1893 , after an absence of nine years In Can
ada , and went to the office of Edward
Mitchell , United States district attorney , and
surrendered himself on the Indictment
against him by the United States grand Jury ,
found on June 7 , 1891. He was taken before
Judge Wallace In the circuit court and ad
mitted to ball In 120,000 , On the following
day he appeared in general sessions and
pleaded not guilty to six Indictments against
him found by the grand Jury. Ho gave ball
In $10,000 on one Indictment , but his counsel.
Colonel Dlles , argued that the other five did
not come -within the Jurisdiction of the state
courts. Judge Cowing look the opposite view
and a writ of habeas corpus was granted by
Judge Wallace. On March 27 Judge Wallace
ordered the release of Eno on the five In
dictments , declaring the case came properly
under the federal Jurisdiction as related to
the national banking act. On May 1C the
Indictment against Eno by the United States
grand Jury was dismissed by Judge Benedict
In the United States circuit court , criminal
branch , on the ground that It was defective in
that It was not sufficiently specified. Later
In the year Eno was rearralgned and held In
$30.000 ball an the same charges , The de
cision ot the supreme court therefore re
vives the five Indictments found by the gen
eral sessions grand Jury and he Is now on ball
on the sixth , as well us on a charge filed by
a United States district attorney.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 29. Justice Drown
delivered an opinion In the supreme court
today in tlio case of Charles E , Lewis against
Plma county , Arizona , Involving the validity
of railroad bonds In aid of the Arizona nar
row gauge railroad , authorized by the terrl
torlal legislature. The supreme court of
Arizona declared the bonds wcro Illegal. In
the decision rendered today that decision is
confirmed. The opinion holds that under the
federal statutes Arizona had no right to
authorize a county to issue bonds except for
Internal Improvements , anil that a railroad
could not bo properly considered an Internal
county Improvement.
Chief Justice FuKer handed down a de
cision in the case of the United States against
Rarl D. Cos , Involving title to the Algodonez
land grant of Arizona , upon a motion to dis
miss on the ground that congress had no
power to confer upon the supreme court Jurisdiction -
diction to entertain an appeal from a decree
of tlio court of irlvato land claims , by which
this case was originally tried , because the
latter is not vested with political power In
virtue of any provisions of the constitution.
Tha motion to dismiss was denied and the
decisions of the private land claims court.
The decision concludes as follows :
"As wherever the United States exercises
the power of government , whether under
specific grant or through the dominion and
sovereignty of plenary authority , as over the
territories , that power include * the ultimate
executive , legislative and judicial power. It
fallows that the judicial action ol all inferior
courts established may. In accordance with
the constitution , be subjected to the appel
late jurisdiction ot ( ho supreme Judicial
tribunal of the government. There has never
been any question In regard to this as ap
plied to territorial courts , and no reason can
bo perceived for applying a different rule to
the adjudications of the court of private land
claims over property In the territories.

the bids for the new buildings should have
been received by the present time , and hence

As a result of Ilia threatened smallpox

WASHINGTON. Oct. 23. The Evening
Star publishes the following story , which gives
promise of an outcome of Interest to the
public. "If current reports are true , there Is
a syndicate writer In New York whoso name
Is to bo found at the foot of articles In many
cities of the union who will have a very
unpleasant quarter of an hour with tha
Washington correspondents before the next
session ot congress shall end. The story has
reached hero , vouched for on authority that
would seem to be credltab o that one of the
Incidents of the Sugar trust campaign In
Washington last winter was the raising of a
purse by the Sugar trust people to bo given
to this enterprising correspondent to bo dis
tributed In Washington among the- press
people where 'It would do tbo mast good. '
In the opinion of those who furnished the
money , that place was the pockets of
those representatives ot the pros-i of the
country here who , with or without right , are
supposed to have Influence In congress and In
the making of public opinion throughout the
country. There are Intimations even that
the men i\ho furnished the money did sa
under the Impression It was to be distributed
pro rata among the representatives of the
press In Washington , In the expectation that
the comments upon the operations of the
Sugar trust would be either less severe or that
they would bo altogether withheld. It U ,
of course , assumed that the distributor of

There are Intimation * , oven , that a Hat waa
furnished of correspondents to whom this
fund waa to be distributed , fliul the expecta
tion was that it would be expended In part
In dinners and in part In wayj that would bo
appreciated by those for whom It was In
tended.
"It there Is anything In this story , It li
to say that not one dollar of this alleged
fund ever passed to the representative cor
respondents for whom It Is represented that
It was designed. The man who undertook
to disburse this fund did so with the full
knowledge that it would not be safe for him
to approach any of the gentlemen whose
names may have appeared on this pretended
list for any such purpose whatever. Ho not
only Is not on relations of confidence with
them , but ho never calls upon any of them

THE DALLES , Ore. . Oct. 29. After t\5w
weeks steady work on the part of detectives
and local officers the parties who robbed the
Pacific Express company In this city of
$14,000 have at last been apprehended and
placed under arrest , nnd all but $200 of the
money recovered , Frank Klein and Otis
Savage , young men of respectable parentage ,
living here , are In jail , having made a com
plete confession of the theft. Many clews
were followed by the- detectives , but all
proved fruitless until Sheriff Driver sug
gested that possibly Klein and Savage , who
have been living In Idleness about town and
who once belonged to what Is known locally
as the Iliiutliorne gang of desperadoes , might
be Implicated. It wns reported that the
young men were separated from the gang
on account of a disagreement aa to the plan
for robbing n Union Pacific train at n point
between here anil Portland , Shortly after
separating Hawthorne and pals robbed a li *
store here of n lot of guns , pistols and am * " \
munition and left for their rendezvous near rr *
Mount Hood. U Is said the only clew to
the robbers was that n bar of steel sharpened
at one end and fastened Into a hook In the
other was left , which was found beside tlio
empty treasure box on the floor of the ex
press office on the morning of the robbery. 7f
Following the suggestion of Sheriff Driver ,
DetectIvea Sam Slmuns of Portland and Lord
of the Surety company of Kansas City vis
ited the shop and living room ot Klein and
Savage , which Is In a barn In Klein's yard.
The valls of the room bristled'with guna of
( very description and the room also con
tained an anvil and tools for doing light
blncksmlthlng. Sheriff Driver , learning this ,
took the steel tools to Salem Howe , one of
the gang who is confined In the penitentiary ,
nnd from him learned it was fashioned In
this shop by members of the Hawthorne
gang from a drill stolen from a Union
Pacific locomotive at the lime they con
templated train robbery. Howe also stated
that Klein , who la by trade an expert lock
smith , possessed a key to the express office.
Armed with this Information. Mr. Driver ,
accompanied by Detective Simons , returned
to The Dalles and caused the arrest of
Klein and Savage. They were captured
without leslstance at their room and confined
In separate apartments at the hotel wheru
District Attorney Jayne and Mr , Simons at
tempted to gain a confession from them.
They withstood all advances tor a tlmo.
Finally Klein broke dawn and sobbing con-
fesssd the while matter , telling where the
money was hidden , Search was Instituted for
tha money , and a bag containing $7. ! > 55 In
gj'd was found In a cesspool under a Chinese
w.ish hou20 , which once belonged ( o the
Savage estate. Two bags with $1,500 In
silver were found under an old building
lu-ar the Cosmopolitan hotel , and one bag ,
which had contained $5,000 In gold and from
which $200 had been extracted , was dis
covered burled In Klein's back yard. Sav
age at first maintained stolid alienee when
told of KIcln'B ccnfesiilon , aaylng ho waa
innocent of the crime , but wh ° n confronted
by his pal had nothing moro to say. Klein
also confessed that they had robbed the

Houghton Mifflin & Co., who have one of
$789, began action in replevin this morning
to secure from the Lighton stock goods sold
him a short time prior to his failure. Papers
were served on the sheriff. As soon as the
action became known the National Blank
Book company, acting for itself and other
mortgage holders, and which has a claim of
$1,332.55, filed a petition in the district court
asking for an order restraining the parties
named from serving the replevin, breaking
the stock and interfering with the sale. In
their petition the firms complain that at the
time Lighton ordered the goods he knew he
was insolvent, but had represented to Bradstreet
street a short time prior that his assets
were $75,000 and liabilities $15,000, and to
Snow, Church & Co. that they were respectively $45,000 to $60,000 and $17,000; that
upon the strength of these representations,
which are declared to be false, credit was
given him. On the other hand, the mortgage holders claim that the other fellows,
which had not been given any mortgage, had
no right to replevin any of the stock for reasons stated, but that their object was to
force the plaintiff to release its security or
accept a settlement the terms of which
were unequitable and which would result in serious loss to them. When
in constables went down with the replevin
papers they were met by Deputy Sheriff
Dillon and representatives of the mortgage
holders, and although the invaders were
armed with crowbars and a firm determination to get their goods, they were held at bay
by kind words and some bluffing until service
of restraining order was had upon them.
That settled it, and the sale took place at
the time advertised. It was purchased by
Sam Hall, formerly one of Lighton's traveling
men, for $32,200. It is not known whom
he represents.
At the cathedral bazaar which opened this

Fifty ordinances of the city of Lincoln were

LOCHREN DEFENDS HIMSELF
Commissioner of Pensions Makes a Special Plea in Behalf of His Course,
HAS SOUGHT TO PROTECT HONESTY ONLY
Arguments of the High Authorities
Practically in All Forms Work of the Special Examiners Declined
Pension Grubbers prosecuted.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. The re-argument of the Long pension case in the district court of the District of Columbia does not awaken much interest. Commissioner Lochren is confident that the same opinion will be reached. In his annual report, the commissioner reviewed the Long case at some length. In which he said:
"This case has attracted wide attention because of the fact that the pensioner is one of the Judges of the supreme court of Michigan, and has upon the rostrum and through the press unstintingly denounced the bureau and myself for alleged arbitrary and illegal proceedings in the reduction of his pension, and because of the suits instituted by him in this district against myself to prevent such reductions."
After reviewing proceedings in the case, Commissioner Lochren says: "It is quite clear that under an honest but mistaken interpretation of the pension laws by prior commissioners this pensioner has obtained from the treasury more than $7,000 to which he was never lawfully entitled. Should he make good his assertions that he will take this case for decision to the supreme court of the United States he may, when it shall be finally decided, consider the propriety of returning this money to the treasury."
In the same report, the commissioner discusses the work of special examiners which have been criticized in Congress and elsewhere. The commissioner says: "The report of the chief of the division exhibits the character and importance of its work. Cases which appear to have merit, but in which claimants are unable to obtain essential evidence are, with such information in respect to witnesses as the bureau can obtain, placed in the hands of special examiners, who are often able to discover and obtain the evidence necessary to prove the claims. The larger part of the force is always kept employed in this class of work. But the special examination division, aided as it is by the law divisions, constitutes the main protection which the government has against fraud and imposition.
"Dishonest attorneys are responsible.
"Most of the pension attorneys and claim agents are capable and honorable, but some among them are the most dishonest and unscrupulous of men, dealing habitually in perjury, forgery, and every species of fraud, without special examiners the villainy of such men would operate without check or fear of detection and be generally successful, and it is too often now in spite of all safeguards.
"Such men attract the unworthy as clients—the bounty jumpers, cowards, and deserters and the fraudulent malingerers. As many of their crimes are discovered, their fraudulent cases overthrown, and themselves and their guilty confederates brought to punishment by the work of special examiners (there were 19 convictions for pension frauds last year), it is but natural that such men and their clients should be lost and unceasing in their denunciations of special examiners as spies, and seeking with the aid of unscrupulous partisan newspapers and politicians to create prejudice against special examiners in the minds of deserving pensioners and others. The worthy and deserving soldiers, who are still modest in their race for pensions, are elbowed to the rear by the unworthy, who are as importunate in their continuous struggle for pensions and increases as when operating for bounties. They crowd themselves to the front at soldiers' gatherings with resolutions for more pensions and denunciations of every regulation tending to unmask or prevent dishonesty and fraud as 'unfriendly to the soldier.' Their insatiable greed and disclaiming of all resolutions made to insure honesty and restrain or discover fraud, shamelessly proclaimed, has done much to lower the regard which would otherwise be universally manifested for the deserving soldier."
"It has been reported that the attempt to discover frauds is a new movement and credit being given to me in that direction to which I am not fairly entitled," FRAUDS HAVE ALWAYS EXISTED.
The commissioner then copies extracts from reports of commissioners ever since 1867 to show that the utmost care is necessary to prevent fraudulent pensions, after which he adds: "I have selected the six extracts from the reports of the commissioners since the civil war to show that special examinations, fraudulent claimants, dishonest claim agents, and the practice of dropping unworthy pensioners from the rolls prevailed in the past. But in those early days the frauds in pension cases did not find active champions in public men nor much support from the public."
The provision placed upon the pension appropriation bill December 21, 1893, preventing the commissioner from suspending pensions until fraud has actually been established, the commissioner says, has been carried out, but with no advantage to the bureau.
"The effect of this provision is to take from the officers of this bureau the power to interfere where they plainly see the treasury being plundered by the fraudulent and unworthy. I could cite numberless instances of pensioners having no title, pensioners drawing more than one pension, widows who have remarried who continued to draw pensions, and all manner of fraudulent and illegal pensions, where the treasury would continue to be plundered for a time with the knowledge of the officers of this bureau who, because of that provision, were rendered powerless to prevent it," It is true you can buy baking powder for 10 cents a pound. One pound of that kind will spoil one dollar's worth of flour. A pound can of Dr. Price's at 50 cents will do ten times as much work as the cheaper powder. Which is the more economical.
BOOKLET DESIGNS LAST IMPRESSION,
Colorado Boycott of the Marine Corps Make Hidden Reports.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. Colonel Charles Heywood, commandant of the United States Marine Corps, in his annual report to the secretary of the navy, asks for an increase of the corps. He says that by keeping the number of men up to the legal allowance last year, the duty was performed with less hardship to the men, and, in consequence, the number of desertions very materially decreased. The commandant is satisfied that desertions in the marine corps were caused in a large measure by the hard work the men were called upon to perform. Last year they were able to have two days off guard, which was a great relief from the necessity of "day on and day off," to which they had been subjected. Still, in comparison with the army, where men are never less than five days off guard, this is hard duty and is too much of a tax on the physical energies of the men, and to produce even better results there should be an increase in the number of privates. The demand increases every day, both on shore and afloat, in view of the many new vessels that will soon be placed in commission. The commandant strongly recommends an appropriation for barracks at Sitka, Alaska. He speaks with pride of the service rendered by his corps at guards at the World's fair, and particularly in California during the strike. He encloses testimonials from General Huger and other officers, and says: "It is most gratifying to me to know that the marines have again proven themselves efficient and useful in the performance of any kind of work assigned them. My thanks are due, and heartily tendered, to all the officers and men composing the corps, and especially to Major Tope, who so ably commanded and made possible by his zeal and strict attention such excellent results."
WASHINGTON. Oct. 29. The engineer board which conducted the steam trial of the Maine has just completed its report and submitted it to the Navy department. The result of the calculation is to place the horse power of the ship at 2,224, an excess of 224 over the contract requirement, which will earn the builders a premium of $22,100. The report deals with every detail of the machinery and, in substance, declares that it is of excellent workmanship and complete in every respect.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. United States Minister Denby cabled the State department announcing his arrival at Peking, China, on his return from the United States.

INDICTMENTS WERE GOOD
John O. Eno's case Remanded to the New York State Courts.
OF INTEREST TO DEFAULTING BANKERS
Arizona National Bank indicted from Superior Court Federal Appeals has Jurisdiction to Try Appeals from the Court of Private Claims.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. The United States supreme court today reversed the decision of the circuit court in the case of John C. Eno, formerly president of the Second National Bank of New York, who was convicted of forgery in the New York state courts about ten years ago. Eno raised the point that the state courts were without jurisdiction and that he could be tried only in the federal courts. This view of the law was upheld by the circuit court, but is upset by today's decision of the supreme court, which remanded the case to the state courts.
The ground on which Eno resisted state court jurisdiction was that the offense, under the banking laws of the United States, was under the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal court. The case has been watched with interest by bank officers and others. Justice Harlan rendered the decision of the court, while Justices Field and Shiras dissented in an opinion denying the jurisdiction of the state courts.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29. John C. Eno returned to New York City on February 20, 1893, after an absence of nine years in Canada, and went to the office of Edward Mitchell, United States district attorney, and surrendered himself on the indictment against him by the United States grand jury, found on June 7, 1891. He was taken before Judge Wallace in the circuit court and admitted to bail in $120,000. On the following day he appeared in general sessions and pleaded not guilty to six indictments against him found by the grand jury. He gave bail in $10,000 on one indictment, but his counsel, Colonel Diles, argued that the other five did not come within the jurisdiction of the state courts. Judge Cowing took the opposite view and a writ of habeas corpus was granted by Judge Wallace. On March 27 Judge Wallace ordered the release of Eno on the five indictments, declaring the case came properly under the federal jurisdiction as related to the national banking act. On May 16 the indictment against Eno by the United States grand jury was dismissed by Judge Benedict in the United States circuit court, criminal branch, on the ground that it was defective in that it was not sufficiently specified. Later in the year Eno was rearrested and held in $30,000 bail on the same charges. The decision of the supreme court therefore revives the five indictments found by the general sessions grand jury and he is now on bail on the sixth, as well as on a charge filed by a United States district attorney.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. Justice Brown delivered an opinion in the supreme court today in the case of Charles E, Lewis against Pima county, Arizona, involving the validity of railroad bonds in aid of the Arizona narrow gauge railroad, authorized by the territorial legislature. The supreme court of Arizona declared the bonds were illegal. In the decision rendered today that decision is confirmed. The opinion holds that under the federal statutes Arizona had no right to authorize a county to issue bonds except for internal improvements, and that a railroad could not be properly considered an internal county improvement.
Chief Justice Fuller handed down a decision in the case of the United States against Karl D. Cos, involving title to the Algodones land grant of Arizona, upon a motion to dismiss on the ground that Congress had no power to confer upon the supreme court jurisdiction to entertain an appeal from a decree of the court of private land claims, by which this case was originally tried, because the latter is not vested with political power in virtue of any provisions of the constitution. The motion to dismiss was denied and the decisions of the private land claims court. The decision concludes as follows:
"As wherever the United States exercises the power of government, whether under specific grant or through the dominion and sovereignty of plenary authority, as over the territories, that power includes the ultimate executive, legislative and judicial power. It follows that the judicial action of all inferior courts established may, in accordance with the constitution, be subjected to the appellate jurisdiction of the supreme Judicial tribunal of the government. There has never been any question in regard to this as applied to territorial courts, and no reason can be perceived for applying a different rule to the adjudications of the court of private land claims over property in the territories.
DISPUTE IN NEASASIA.
Fort Crook Building and Fort Oglethorpe Attracting Some Attention.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. (Special Telegram.) A letter has been sent to Omaha from the office of the quartermaster general of the War department, inquiring for information as to the date on which bids will be opened for constructing the three newly authorized buildings at Fort Crook. A reply to this inquiry is expected to be at the War department in a few days. These bids are to be opened at Omaha, but the contract will be awarded from War department headquarters at Washington. Several of the officials in the quartermaster general's office who have shown a deep interest in the construction at Fort Crook are of the opinion that the bids for the new buildings should have been received by the present time, and hence the letter of inquiry was issued.
As a result of the threatened smallpox epidemic in this city, and the consequent closing of the Interior department, it is necessary that another postponement be had in opening the bids for the resurvey of Grant and Hooker counties, Nebraska. Secretary of the Interior Smith today directed the commissioner of the general land office, who will open the bids, to have printed in all the papers in which advertisements calling for proposals for the resurvey were inserted, a notice to the effect that the bids will be opened Wednesday, November 7, at 2 p.m. The date had been set for Saturday last, but on account of the sudden appearance of the smallpox scare, the Interior department was ordered closed for several days, and it was necessary to select another date on which to open the bids.

KANSAS CITY, Republican that the Sugar Trust Fund was raised by the Sugar trust people to be given to this enterprising correspondent to be distributed in Washington among the press people where it would do the most good. In the opinion of those who furnished the money, that place was the pockets of those representatives of the press of the country here who, with or without right, are supposed to have influence in Congress and in the making of public opinion throughout the country. There are intimations even that the men who furnished the money did so under the impression it was to be distributed pro rata among the representatives of the press in Washington, in the expectation that the comments upon the operations of the Sugar trust would be either less severe or that they would be altogether withheld. It is, of course, assumed that the distributor of this fund was to receive his commission.
There are intimations, even, that a list was furnished of correspondents to whom this fund was to be distributed, and the expectation was that it would be expended in part in dinners and in part in ways that would be appreciated by those for whom it was intended.
"It there is anything in this story, it is to say that not one dollar of this alleged fund ever passed to the representative correspondents for whom it is represented that it was designed. The man who undertook to disburse this fund did so with the full knowledge that it would not be safe for him to approach any of the gentlemen whose names may have appeared on this pretended list for any such purpose whatever. He not only is not on relations of confidence with them, but he never calls upon any of them when in Washington.
"Efforts are being made to ascertain the truth of this report, and if it shall be found true some of the correspondents intend that he will hear more later, possibly in the courts and probably before a committee of investigation."
CASHED UP AND CONFESSED
End of it? Epo Beach reached by a gang of bold desperadoes.
THE DALLES EXPRESS ROBBERS CAPTURED
Two men taken into custody and one of them harmed down and tells the story practically all the money recovered.
THE DALLES, Ore. Oct. 29. After two weeks steady work on the part of detectives and local officers, the parties who robbed the Pacific Express company in this city of $14,000 have at last been apprehended and placed under arrest, and all but $200 of the money recovered, Frank Klein and Otis Savage, young men of respectable parentage, living here, are in jail, having made a complete confession of the theft. Many clues were followed by the detectives, but all proved fruitless until Sheriff Driver suggested that possibly Klein and Savage, who have been living in idleness about town and who once belonged to what is known locally as the Hawthorne gang of desperadoes, might be implicated. It was reported that the young men were separated from the gang on account of a disagreement as to the plan for robbing a Union Pacific train at a point between here and Portland. Shortly after separating from Hawthorne and pals, robbed a general store here of a lot of guns, pistols, and ammunition and left for their rendezvous near Mount Hood. It is said the only clue to the robbers was that a bar of steel sharpened at one end and fastened into a hook in the other was left, which was found beside the empty treasure box on the floor of the express office on the morning of the robbery.
Following the suggestion of Sheriff Driver, Detectives Sam Simmons of Portland and Lord of the Surety company of Kansas City visited the shop and living room of Klein and Savage, which is in a barn in Klein's yard. The walls of the room bristled with guns of every description and the room also contained an anvil and tools for doing light blacksmithing. Sheriff Driver, learning this, took the steel tools to Salem Howe, one of the gang who is confined in the penitentiary, and from him learned it was fashioned in this shop by members of the Hawthorne gang from a drill stolen from a Union Pacific locomotive at the time they contemplated train robbery. Howe also stated that Klein, who is by trade an expert locksmith, possessed a key to the express office.
Armed with this information, Mr. Driver, accompanied by Detective Simmons, returned to The Dalles and caused the arrest of Klein and Savage. They were captured without resistance at their room and confined in separate apartments at the hotel where District Attorney Jayne and Mr. Simmons attempted to gain a confession from them. They withstood all advances for a time. Finally Klein broke down and sobbing confessed the whole matter, telling where the money was hidden. Search was instituted for the money, and a bag containing $7,855 in gold was found in a cesspool under a Chinese wash house, which once belonged to the Savage estate. Two bags with $1,500 in silver were found under an old building near the Cosmopolitan hotel, and one bag, which had contained $5,000 in gold and from which $200 had been extracted, was discovered buried in Klein's backyard. Savage at first maintained stolid alienness when told of Klein's confession, saying he was innocent of the crime, but when confronted by his pal had nothing more to say. Klein also confessed that they had robbed the post office here on the night of September 6.

WEATHER CONDITIONS QUITE A FACTOR
JOato of the Untillne of Corn Into Contr.ict
ClnM I'ontpoiicd on Account of
llttlnu Sloclin 11 nd
UundR.
C11ICAOO , Oct. M. The wheat market
was to all appearances sustained today by
firmness In corn. Wet weather caused the
strength In the latter. Wheat was unchanged
In price nt the end. but It averaged lower
for the day. Corn Is Ho hlfiher for May ,
% Q higher for October nnd November and Ic
higher for December. Provisions are
slightly lilRher and oata lie higher.
Wheat was Hrm for a few moments at
the opening at n shade over Saturday's
closing price , but the demand was quickly
supplanted by a pressure to sell. December ,
which closed on Saturday at 5lc bid , sold
nt the start at from f.2'.Ac ' to 52Uc , urul May ,
Which wound up last week at CCo to S7c ,
opened with buyers nt from tOTic up to
t7V4c. As the result of an hour's trading
December declined to Glftc to 51c and May
to WVi to Kc. The short-lived llrmness nl
the start was chiefly due to strength In the
corn market , but as the strength In corn
really should have an opposite effect on
wheat , seeing that It was because of the
rain , and rain was badly needed for the
lately Bown wheat. The latter market soon
went on the downward course Indicated by
the quotations. The foreign markets were
nil firmer at the opening , with the exception
of Liverpool , which opened weak. The dis
position to buy came back with renewed
lorce after the decline , due to thu growing
firmness of corn. The primary market re
ceipts were 193 , , < XM bu , , of which 1,3'XWO , ' )
TJU. were nt Allnneapolls nnd Uuluth. Kx-
port clearances from the Atlantic seaboard
amounted to 437,000 bu. The visible Ktipply
Increased about on expected , 1,531,000 bu. ,
compared with nn Increase ot 2,319,00) ) bu.
last year. The early loss xvus recovered
nnd nt the closc C2'c for December and
EGtyc for Mity were the trading prices.
The break In the wenther postpones to a
Etlll later date the grading of corn Into the
contract data. That was the chief factor
of the daj-'s proceedings In that market ,
and on its account the price got a hoist ot
from ' .ic to % c Immediately at the opening
nnd It hn/l another Uo rise In the course of
the forenoon. That refers to May , which 1s
Bllll the chief ppcculatlve future , but the
nearer deliveries , although traded In to n
much more limited extent , made less radical
fluctuations. November rose V4c. Just ns the
market opened nnd In a very short time
thereafter It was wanted by an anxious
short nt 114o advance , but quieted down
later to D2c , or I'.lc over Its value on Sat
urday afternoon. May touched 503ic soon
after the opening , then reacted to EOJ&o to
WWc , after which It sold up to C0',4c. It
sold down again to C0c , but wound up
tlrm nt WJc to CO--ic. November sold oft to
1 % at the close.
in oats there was n fair business trans
acted and the market ruled a shade firmer.
Sympathy with corn wna the principal
cause , although the disposition to buy was
more prominent than to sell. Outside busi
ness uld not amount to .much , although
some orders were Illlcd. The demand was
principally local and no Important sales were
effected. May started nt isJHc , sold doivn to
32c and up to 32We. where It closed.
Provisions were Inactive but firm , nnd
closed slightly higher than on Saturday.
For January delivery pork Is EC higher nnd
ribs arc up 2'/4c. Receipts of hogs were
35,000 head , Instead of10,000 head , ns looked
for on Saturday. The Iluctuatlons In wheat
nnd corn appeared to govern the slight
changes which occurred during the day In
provisions. Hot ? receipts for tomorrow are
estimated nt 2. t,000 head.

Th week opened with the poultry" market
prclly well cleaned up. The ev re storms will
doubtless cut oft receipt * to some extent , nnd In
that cnso there ought , to bo n firmer market.
In reviewing the butter trade ol the past week
I'roduco i-emaik that the butter ninrknt
of this country has undergone some very queer
nhtlcs during the fnM wctk. Without n sign of
irauiliijt KlKln tumbled from 23c lo 21c last Mon
day. New York followed Ihe next morning wlh !
l4c ! drop , and later. TuerOay , under the pressure
of New York's drop nnd the clamur ol liuyors
for lower prices , with which to protect Ihe ord r
business , the Chicago market was let down Ic ,
Elgin's offerings were 1,209 tubs Monday ,
bul U appears that orders which have been ac
customed to BO lo thai center have switched off
lo other points , nnd they did not have Ihe Irnde
for the butter. Therefore down went prices with
a dull , sickening thud , and following the custom
which has preiallcd for BO many years prior lo
this xenson , buyers made effoits nt leading ren
ters U > depress prices In keeping with Klein's
break. They succeeded In New York to Ihe ex
tent of l'4c nnd In Chicago to Iho extent of Ic.
The feeling nnd condition In New Yolk 1s best
reflected by a lelesrani from N. Waterbury re
garding Ihe situation. He snd ! :
"Juno storaijo has been reduced hero nlioul
' ' tubs the past month. The heavy drop nt
iigln last Monday was unreasonable. Us Influ
ence on this market and our drop unnecessary ,
No one could have bought even 2,000 tubs of
extra creameries on this market nny d.iy In the
hut ten days' riuotntlons. nor 1,000 tubs today nt
quotations. We nre not overloaded with line but
ler , nnd It must react nt once If prices In former
yeain nre nny crllerlon. "
A reduction of 12,040 lubi In the quantity nf
Juno butler In storageIn New York brings Ihclr
holdings down la ( S.OOO tubs , basing the estimate
made on the quantity held n month ago , the orig
inal amount nt the opening of thu season being
estimated at 12),0 > tub .
W. 8. QUInby A ; Co. of lloston wire ;
"llecelptfl thtt | nnt week , I5.5Gfi pkK * . Trade
Is extlcmely iUlPt. except en finest creamery
fiom northern sections , which clean up nt 2lc ,
Western creamery Is dull , ranging from 21B2JC.
June creameries and low grades neglected , ami
cables of depressed European markets nnd low
tiuotatlons tend to demoralise prices on Indies.
The Mocks' of cold etorujjo butler have been
greatly reduced the past few weeks , last Satur
day the reduction exceeding the reduction of
the eorre rnndlnfr we * > k of Inst year 1,000 tulis.
The amount In cold storage now Is 59,000 tubs ,
nKuln.it 83.000 tubs the corresponding time In
16M. This Is a t eduction of 2CDW tubs dining the
past mnnlh , when the storiiKO stocks amounted
to 125,0 * ) tubs , compared with 141,000 the 1st
of August , nnd 91,000 tuba September 1 , ISf/i. "
So far ns supplies at leading centers arc con
cerned , wu see nothing In them to rauso nny
alarm , Receipts nt Ihe three leading cenlpro ,
Chicago , New York nnd lloston , aggregate tH.KH
pices. , compaied with , OSO lust weelc , only 2,203
tubs sin plus. In the Chicago mailtet receipts ns-
giegated 17.733 luhs , compared with 17,5'I7 ' last
week and 17,414 the week preceJInff. A canvass
of ( he market yesterday morning revealed the
rather startling fact that Instead of being nn
accumulation of butler , there had been n reduc
tion of 10 per cent In stocks at the leading houses
during the week , nnd that ns far as extras are
concerned , there have not been lighter supplies
during the season ,
Tliere Is Just one feature that Is troubling
some of the dealers. In the Klein district , where
a great many fall cows are cotnlnn In , and where
more will be coming In later , there Is an Increase
In the make of butter. In Ilia country towns
throughout the \Vest where creameries have here
tofore hnd good , local demand for a portion of
their butter , country roll and dairy has absorbed
a Koodly pioportlon of the trade and forced the
creameries to send their full product lo the
cities. This Is undoubtedly responsible for n
goodly proportion of the Increased receipts of
the past week Then It Is reported thai on ac
count of the \ery low and unsatisfactory chcei-e
market In the west that-a law * number of the
cheese fnctoilcs will cease making cheese nd go
Into butter , making a larger supply from that
source , Hut nt the same time the majority of
western creameries are showing a decrease In
production , nnd there will be a good many closed
November I.
There Is no doubt that business In butter was
dull early In the week. Hut the dullness was
brought nbout by Ihe decline at Elgin , which
caused everybody connected with the Irado to
hold off buying until they satisfied themselves
that there was no ical foundation for the break ;
then they took hold , but meantime sellers had
made concessions to endeavor to Induce custom.

NEW YOIIK , Oct. 23-ror Ihe first lime
n a week the speculation on the Stock ex-
hangc was marked by activity , but It was
ot tluc to a healthy buying movement , hut
atlicr to heavy selling of the general list ,
1 which the coul stocks were most promt-
ent. The depression which market ! the
railing In the coalers during the Intter part
f last week was experienced at theopen -
ng ot business today , when an ntttick In
orce was made by tlie hears , In which New
ersey Central suffered the heaviest loss.
The decline In the stock continued throuffh-
ut the < lay with occasional rallies , bul the
art sale was at Iho lowest point touched
nd % per cent below the closing price of
atunlay. Delaware & Hudson was also
old brlollv by the bears nnd noino Ions
lock was brought out , causing a decline ot
i per cent , to 119 % . with a rally of Jl
er cent nt the close. Lackawnnna rose ' ,4
er cent at the opening on covering by
mall shorts , but was quickly hammered
own 2)i per cent , to 1MU. a recovery of Yt
er cent being made at the close , limiting
ic loss to Wi per cent. Rending was strong
n the morning- Philadelphia buying and
clvnnced % per cent , but lost tlie Improve
ment In the later dealings ant ] closed at
aturday's figure. The general market waM

ess , when purchases to cover short con-
racts temporarily checked the declining
cmlency , but fresh baar onslaughts wiped
ut the small rallies nnd prices reached
till lower levels.
There seemed to he little or no buying for

MONDAY , Oct. 29.
Hccelpts of nil Hinds of stock were heavier
hnn they were a week ago today. In cnta.
alone there \ > tts an Increase of fully
, COO head as compared with last Monday ,
although the genera ! quality of the offer-
was rather below the average. The
fflltl. wet weather made Ihe cattle look
scrnwny and trading was decidedly tils-
grccablo and dllllcult unJor the clrclim-
tances. There was an ncllve demand for
eslrablc stock , nnd for such the market
vas fully steady , although necessarily slow ,
specially as there was nothing choice on
ale nnd very little that would even passer
or good. The under grades were neglected
and prices ruled lower. On the whole , It
vns a very unsatisfactory market , although
irlces did not suffer materially on" any
rade.
; .
Cow stuff was In heavy supply , eighty or
ninety loads , nnd buyers marled In pound-
rig prices right from the start. Some of
he earlier en UN. were not far from steady ,
while later sellers generally were
quoting : i
low trade and o. We to f.c decline. Veal
alvcs were In active demand nnd strong.
Jiills , stags , etc. , were alow sellers at lower
prices.
The- stocker and
' feeder trade was slack.
'rices were not noticeably different from
Saturday , but on account of the dlsagree-
bleweather only a comparatively small
tentative .mount of sales business : was transacted. Heprc-

CHICAGO , Ocl. 29. Eighteen thousand wns the
supply of cattle for tortny. That mini-
jer TVHH mndo up of about 8,000 native , 8,000
vestern and 2,000 Texas cattle. This was not
large mipply for Monday , ninl , although the
; emaml lacked urgency , there was flrmne. s In
II brandies of the mnrket. Choice native steers
wci 'o In very light supply nnd srld quick nt la t
vrck's prices. The commons did not move s
e.idlly , but Ihey were taken at fully steady prices.
; a1es of natives were on a Imals of from $2.75
o te.25 for very common to strictly prime steers
nd nt from $1 to $3.50 for cows nnd heifers.
Vw of the offerings were good fnousli lo sell
e.ir tlie outside quotations. Indeed , there were
cw trade * nt better Hum 13.63. Western cattle
verp In Rood demand nt from JI.7S to J4.65 for
toot to choice , nnd I hero were buyers for nil the
Tcxans nt from J1.25 to $3.M.
The situation In hog * was unchanged. There
vns a large supply In the pens ( quite 41,00) head ) ,
ind In expectation of continued liberal arrivals
hc fueling- was heayy. The shipping orders were
Ifrhl and local buyers were Indifferent , with the
result that another slice was pared off tlie value
of thtanimal. . The offerings needed to be very
rood to brlnft more than $1.50. nnd , althotiRh
here was n sale ns high ns SI.SO. from SI. " , " , to
I.M carried nwny the greater pnrt of tlie hogs.
There weio many pales nl fiom JI.15 to $1.20
nnd some trading In pigs at from J3 to 14. Com-
> arPd wllh last Monday's prices today's sales
show a decline of fnim 20o to 2Jc , nnd compared
vlth the prices ruling ( it this time last year
here Is n. loss of from JI.70 to J1.8" , p.-r 100 Ibs.
The offerings were j > oor In quality , and to that
fact was partly due the weakness of prices. The
market closed fairly active.
The market for BOH | to best qual-
lies of sheep nnd lntnl was strong
o a shade higher. There vrna no Improve
ment In the market for low grades. The demand
was only fair , and the receipts , thouKh mderate ,
vere equal to tlio needs of the trade. Quota-
lonn range from fl.85 lo $2 for Inferior Bluff
nnd fnm $2.75 to $3 for choice wellicr * . Lambs
were In demand nt from $1.60 tn ( I. The pens
ute now pretty well emptied , nnd there Is n bet-

Wheat was Sustained Yesterday due to the firmness in Dordrecht.
WEATHER CONDITIONS QUITE A FACTOR
A late arrival of the unloading of Corn into Contract delayed proceedings due to slim trading. Chicago, Oct. M. The wheat market was to all appearances sustained today by firmness in corn. Wet weather caused the strength in the latter. Wheat was unchanged in price at the end, but it averaged lower for the day. Corn is now higher for May, 2% higher for October and November and 1% higher for December. Provisions are slightly higher and oats are higher.
Wheat was firm for a few moments at the opening at a shade over Saturday's closing price, but the demand was quickly supplanted by a pressure to sell. December, which closed on Saturday at 51c bid, sold at the start at from 52c to 52c, and May, which wound up last week at 67c to 77c, opened with buyers at from 37c up to 47c. As the result of an hour's trading December declined to 51c to 50c and May to 61c to 62c. The short-lived firmness of the start was chiefly due to strength in the corn market, but as the strength in corn really should have an opposite effect on wheat, seeing that it was because of the rain, and rain was badly needed for the lately brown wheat. The latter market soon went on the downward course indicated by the quotations. The foreign markets were all firmer at the opening, with the exception of Liverpool, which opened weak. The disposition to buy came back with renewed force after the decline, due to the growing firmness of corn. The primary market receipts were 193,000 bushels, of which 1,300,000 bushels were at Minneapolis and Duluth. Export clearances from the Atlantic seaboard amounted to 437,000 bushels. The visible supply increased about on expected, 1,531,000 bushels, compared with an increase of 2,319,000 bushels last year. The early loss was recovered and at the close 52c for December and 56c for May were the trading prices.
The break in the weather postpones to a still later date the grading of corn into the contract data. That was the chief factor of the day's proceedings in that market, and on its account the price got a boost from 2% to 2½c immediately at the opening and it had another local rise in the course of the forenoon. That refers to May, which is the chief speculative future, but the nearer deliveries, although traded in to a much more limited extent, made less radical fluctuations. November rose 2½c. Just as the market opened and in a very short time thereafter it was wanted by an anxious short at 14½c advance, but quieted down later to 42c, or 1½c over its value on Saturday afternoon. May touched 50½c soon after the opening, then reacted to 48½c to 49½c, after which it sold up to 50¾c. It sold down again to 50c, but wound up firm at 50¾c to 51c. November sold off to 31½c at the close.
In oats there was a fair business transacted and the market ruled a shade firmer. Sympathy with corn was the principal cause, although the disposition to buy was more prominent than to sell. Outside business could not amount to much, although some orders were filled. The demand was principally local and no important sales were effected. May started at 32c, sold down to 32c and up to 32½c, where it closed.
Provisions were inactive but firm, and closed slightly higher than on Saturday. For January delivery pork is 5¢ higher and ribs are up 2½c. Receipts of hogs were 35,000 head, instead of 10,000 head, as looked for on Saturday. The fluctuations in wheat and corn appeared to govern the slight changes which occurred during the day in provisions. Hog receipts for tomorrow are estimated at 2,500 head.

The week opened with the poultry market well cleaned up. The severe storms will doubtless cut off receipts to some extent, and in that case there ought to be a firmer market. In reviewing the butter trade of the past week, Produce reminds that the butter market of this country has undergone some very queer trades during the past week. Without a sign of support, Elgin tumbled from 23c to 21c last Monday. New York followed the next morning with a 14c drop, and later, Thursday, under the pressure of New York's drop and the clamor of buyers for lower prices, with which to protect the order business, the Chicago market was let down 1c. Elgin's offerings were 1,209 tubs Monday, but it appears that orders which have been accustomed to go to that center have switched off to other points, and they did not have the trade for the butter. Therefore, down went prices with a dull, sickening thud, and following the custom which has prevailed for so many years prior to this season, buyers made efforts at leading markets to depress prices in keeping with Klein's break. They succeeded in New York to the extent of 4c and in Chicago to the extent of 1c. The feeling and condition in New York is best reflected by a cable from N. Waterbury regarding the situation. He said:
"June storage has been reduced here about 10,000 tubs during the past month. The heavy drop at Elgin last Monday was unreasonable. Its influence on this market and our drop unnecessary. No one could have bought even 2,000 tubs of extra creameries on this market any day in the last ten days, nor 1,000 tubs today at quotations. We are not overloaded with fine butter, and it must react once if prices in former years are any indication."
A reduction of 12,040 tubs in the quantity of June butter in storage in New York brings their holdings down to 5,000 tubs, basing the estimate made on the quantity held a month ago, the original amount at the opening of the season being estimated at 12,000 tubs.
W.S. QUINBY & CO. of Boston wired:
"Receipts last week, 15,565 pkgs. Trade is extremely dull, except on finest creamery from northern sections, which cleans up at 2lc; Western creamery is dull, ranging from 21½c to 22c. June creameries and low grades neglected, and cables of depressed European markets and low quotations tend to demoralize prices on indices. The stocks of cold storage butter have been greatly reduced the past few weeks, last Saturday the reduction exceeded the reduction of the corresponding week of last year by 1,000 tubs. The amount in cold storage now is 59,000 tubs, compared with 83,000 tubs the corresponding time last year, a decrease of 2,600 tubs during the past month, when the storage stocks amounted to 125,000 tubs, compared with 141,000 the 1st of August, and 91,000 tubs September 1, 1886."
So far as supplies at leading centers are concerned, we see nothing in them to raise any alarm. Receipts at the three leading centers, Chicago, New York, and Boston, aggregated 15,203 tubs during the week, compared with 8,508 last week and 17,414 the week preceding. A canvass of the market yesterday morning revealed the rather startling fact that instead of being an accumulation of butter, there had been a reduction of 10 percent in stocks at the leading houses during the week, and that as far as extras are concerned, there have not been lighter supplies during the season.
There is just one feature that is troubling some of the dealers. In the Klein district, where a great many fall cows are coming in, and where more will be coming in later, there is an increase in the make of butter. In the country towns throughout the West where creameries have here to here a good, local demand for a portion of their butter, country roll and dairy has absorbed a goodly proportion of the trade and forced the creameries to send their full product to the cities. This is undoubtedly responsible for a goodly proportion of the increased receipts of the past week. Then it is reported that on account of the very low and unsatisfactory cheese market in the West that a large number of the cheese factories will cease making cheese and go into butter, making a larger supply from that source. But at the same time, the majority of western creameries are showing a decrease in production, and there will be a good many closed in November.
There is no doubt that business in butter was dull early in the week. But the dullness was brought about by the decline at Elgin, which caused everybody connected with the trade to hold off buying until they satisfied themselves that there was no actual foundation for the break; then they took hold, but meantime sellers had made concessions to endeavor to induce custom.

STOCKS AND HONOR.
Speculation in Securities Was Slow at the New York Exchange During the First Part of the Week.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23. - For the first time in a week the speculation on the Stock exchange was marked by activity, but it was rather to a healthy buying movement, but rather to heavy selling of the general list, which the coal stocks were most prominent. The depression which the market felt in the coalers during the latter part of last week was experienced at the opening of business today, when an attack was made by the bears, in which New Jersey Central suffered the heaviest loss. The decline in the stock continued throughout the day with occasional rallies, but the art sale was at the lowest point touched and 2½ per cent below the closing price of yesterday. Delaware & Hudson was also sold heavily by the bears and none long stocks were brought out, causing a decline of 1½ per cent, to 119½c, with a rally of 1½ per cent at the close. Lackawanna rose ½ per cent at the opening on covering by small shorts, but was quickly hammered down 2½ per cent, to 1365, a recovery of 1½ per cent being made at the close, limiting the loss to 1 per cent. Trading was strong in the morning, Philadelphia buying and closed 1½ per cent, but lost the improvement in the later dealings and closed at Saturday's figure. The general market was weak, in sympathy with the leaders of the speculation, and, with the exception of the rangers, gave way readily in the early settlements, and the granger group joined in the downward movement during the afternoon. There were at times periods of calmness, when purchases to cover short contracts temporarily checked the declining tendency, but fresh bear onslaughts wiped out the small rallies and prices reached still lower levels.
There seemed to be little or no buying for the long account, even at the lower figures, and the stocks attacked by the bears lacked support. It was not, therefore, a hopeful market at any time during the day, and speculation was decidedly heavy at the close.
Aka Shore sold down 2% per cent, to 131½, but recovered 1 per cent. The other more important lot at sea on the day were: St. Paul to Omaha preferred, 2½ per cent; St. Paul to Omaha common, 1 per cent; Pullman, 2 per cent; Illinois Central and Cotton Oil, 5s per cent; Lead preferred 1½ per cent, and Lead common, Chicago Gas, Tobacco and Cotton OH preferred, 1 per cent. The grand market was weak throughout the day in an active selling movement, the transactions aggregating $1,078,000, the Atchison, Reading and Wabash mortgages being most prominent in the trading.
Evening Post's London cablegram says: today's stock markets were idle. Foreign stocks and mining shares alone were active. The tone was good. Consols are rising again. Americans were dull and neglected. Grand Trunks were firm on vague hopes concerning the meeting tonight. The China silver loan is expected this week. Gold is shipped to France largely. The new Canada loan of 3,250,000 is an immense success and has been applied for nearly five times over.

MONDAY, Oct. 29.
Receipts of all Kinds of stock were heavier
than they were a week ago today. In fact,
alone there was an Increase of fully
, 600 head as compared with last Monday ,
although the general quality of the offer-
was rather below the average. The
affected wet weather made the cattle look
scrappy and trading was decidedly unsteady and difficult under the circumstances. There was an active demand for
estrable stock , and for such the market
was fully steady , although necessarily slow ,
especially as there was nothing choice on
sale and very little that would even pass for good. The under grades were neglected
and prices ruled lower. On the whole , It
was a very unsatisfactory market , although
prices did not suffer materially on any
grade.
; .
Cows stuff was In heavy supply , eighty or
ninety loads , and buyers marked In pound-
ing prices right from the start. Some of
the earlier en UN. were not far from steady ,
while later sellers generally were

Mrs. S. A. Kell of Pomona, Cal., had the good luck to sprain her ankle. "I tried several liniments," she says, "but was not cured until I used Chamberlain's Pain Balm. That remedy cured me and I take pleasure in recommending it and testifying to its efficacy." This medicine is also of great value for rheumatism, lumbago, pains in the chest, piles, and all deep-seated and muscular pains.

WHIPPED THE FAMILY.
Dan Baker Overcame the Challenge He faced Between Him and the Gas Bar.
Yesterday detectives arrested Dan Baker, a tough customer well known to the police, and charged him with being a fugitive from Justice. It is alleged by the police that Baker entered the saloon of Shorty Handler in East Omaha about 1 o'clock Sunday morning and after knocking Mrs. Handler down robbed the till of the day's receipts.
Handler heard the row and rushed in to protect his wife and property. Baker promptly floored him and escaped with the contents of the till. The prisoner is well known to the Handlers and they positively identified him as the man who assaulted and robbed them.
When questioned by the police, Baker refused to give any account of himself or tell where he was on last Sunday night. He will be taken to Council Bluffs for trial, as the saloon is located just over the Nebraska line.

IRRIGATION IS THE THING
Lincoln County Farmers Find Many Ad
vantages iu tlio Plan.

NORTH I'LATTK , Oct. 29. ( Specril.-In- ! )
terest In tlio prolilcin oT Irrlgatloa In weal-
cm Nebraska. In not In the least abating.
Farmcre antl business men are working ami
politicians are talking upon the absorbing ;
topic. Ten rears HRO when the North 1'lattc
Irrigation and Ljml company , of vrhlcli lion.
duy Hacton of Omaha was a leading spirit ,
was constructing the first Irrigation ditch
on the rial to , there was considerable adverse
criticism upon the Innovation , II Mas ns-
sorted with much emphasis that tlio building
.
ing of an Irrigation canal Avon Id retard the
development of the country. It was. n sug
gestion Ihnt tilt ; average rainfall was Insulll-
clent for agricultural needs and the sugges
tion would frighten prospective purchasers
of real estate- . Nevertheless , ths Innovation
was pushed to completion , laterals shot out
here and there across the company lands.
The valley sod. formerly yielding hundreds
of tons of prairie hay and the nutritious
"Hue stem" was turned over and presently
the ground was bulging with bis potatoes
or KroanliiR under the weight of great
mounds of "snapped" corn. "Whatever the
effect of the Innovation upon the real estate
trade , It w.is certainly n success as an ex
periment In raising crops. Today the very
men who opposed tlio construction of tills
pioneer ditch are among the most enthusi
astic advocates of Irrigation. The loplc con
tained In the experience of the past three
years has been remarkably convincing.
In this year of dust ami drouth the farms
along the North Platte Irrigation and Li nil
company's ditch have been veritable oases
of productiveness. The yield of corn and po
tatoes has been very satisfactory and thriv
ing young orchards have contributed a flattering
teringfruitage. . Encouraged by the success
attending Irrigation , farmers along the new
ditches under construction arc taking out
water rights , or , what Is better , nro cooperating
ating In digging ditches on their own ac
count. One of the longest ditches now under
way Is the work of the farmers along the
South Tlatte. Tapping- the North river sumo
twenty-live miles west ot this city , the canal
runs between the rivers for about seven
miles and crosses to tlio south bank of the
South 1'latte through a largo Hume tsunlc Into
the sandy river bert. The flume , morn than
1,500 , feet long , will give transit to water
Burnclent to Irrigate 40,000 acres.
With the 100'or more miles of ditches
completed or in piocess ot completion In
tills vicinity. North I'lalte , within a very
few years , will become the Grreley ot Ne
braska. Tlio cultivation at potatoes Is a de
cided success , the rich , sandy loam of the
J'latte valley beliiR well adapted to the
growth ot these tubers. Alfalfa , also , flour
ishes luxuriantly. Early experiments In raising
ing- this prolific plant were not Rucccssful.
It would "winter kllj , " but It was soon ills-
covciecl that late fall Irrigation was respon
sllilc for the failure , the saturated soil freez
ing more readily and Injuring thu roots of
the lisrl ) .
Another Important feature of the Irrigation
"crazo" la the effect It Is liavlnc arid will
lia\o upon the large holdings of farm lands
in this locality. For years thousands of
acres of the most valuable land In Lincoln
county have been held for speculative pur
poses by a few men. North Platte lias failed
to grow Into a city because these lands have
not been opened for settlement. With the
construction of Irrigation ditches It will bo
more profitable to sell than to hold them
Ioniser as hay ( anils at their enhanced -valu
ation.
Already much of this land is on the ninrke
and is being sold ID , small forty , ejghty anil
IGO-acre tracts to actual settlers. Inasmuch

IRRIGATION IS THE THING
Lincoln County Farmers Find Many Advantages in the Plan.
ONE INSTANCE WHERE IT WORKED WELL
(Further that Provingly Protracted Nothing but Particular (Irrigating Reclaimed the Place for All Purposes Included to)
NORTH PLATT, Oct. 29. (Special.)-Interest in the possibility of Irrigation in western Nebraska is not in the least abating. Farmers and business men are working and politicians are talking upon the absorbing topic. Ten years ago when the North Platte Irrigation and Canal company, of which Hon. James Hacton of Omaha was a leading spirit, was constructing the first Irrigation ditch on the river to there was considerable adverse criticism upon the innovation. It was suggested with much emphasis that the building of an Irrigation canal would retard the development of the country. It was a suggestion that the average rainfall was insufficient for agricultural needs and the suggestion would frighten prospective purchasers of real estate. Nevertheless, the innovation was pushed to completion, laterals shot out here and there across the company lands. The valley sod, formerly yielding hundreds of tons of prairie hay and the nutritious "blue stem," was turned over and presently the ground was bulging with bursting potatoes or pressing under the weight of great mounds of "snapped" corn. "Whatever the effect of the Innovation upon the real estate trade, it was certainly a success as an experiment in raising crops. Today the very men who opposed the construction of this pioneer ditch are among the most enthusiastic advocates of Irrigation. The people contained in the experience of the past three years has been remarkably convincing.
In this year of dust and drought the farms along the North Platte Irrigation and Canal company's ditch have been veritable cases of productiveness. The yield of corn and potatoes has been very satisfactory and thriving young orchards have contributed a flattering fruitage. Encouraged by the success attending Irrigation, farmers along the new ditches under construction are taking out water rights, or, what is better, are cooperating in digging ditches on their own account. One of the longest ditches now under way is the work of the farmers along the South Platte. Tapping the North river some twenty-five miles west of this city, the canal runs between the rivers for about seven miles and crosses to the south bank of the South Platte through a large irrigation funnel into the sandy river bed. The flume, more than 1,500 feet long, will give transit to water sufficient to Irrigate 40,000 acres.
With the 100 or more miles of ditches completed or in process of completion in this vicinity, North Platte, within a very few years, will become the Greeley of Nebraska. The cultivation of potatoes is a decided success, the rich, sandy loam of the Platte valley being well adapted to the growth of these tubers. Alfalfa, also, flourishes luxuriantly. Early experiments in raising this prolific plant were not successful. It would "winter kill," but it was soon discovered that late fall Irrigation was responsible for the failure, the saturated soil freezing more readily and injuring the roots of the plant.
Another important feature of the Irrigation "craze" is the effect it is having and will have upon the large holdings of farm lands in this locality. For years thousands of acres of the most valuable land in Lincoln county have been held for speculative purposes by a few men. North Platte has failed to grow into a city because these lands have not been opened for settlement. With the construction of Irrigation ditches, it will be more profitable to sell than to hold them longer as hay lands at their enhanced value.
Already much of this land is on the market and is being sold in small forty, eighty, and 160-acre tracts to actual settlers. Inasmuch as the Platte valley is from six to ten miles wide in this county and every foot of it is irrigable, it will be seen that several thousand farms await cultivation. Much of this land can be purchased at from $50 to $20 per acre and with a perpetual water right, for the Irrigation of eighty acres costs but $500. There will be many new homes in this rich valley before another year rolls around. North Platte's day of prosperity, held for years in abeyance by land speculators, is dawning, and the people are looking with happy anticipation into the year 1915.
Chadron on the Grow.
CHADRON, Neb., Oct. 20. (Special.)-Chadron is much elated at present over the assurance of several important industries. The financial arrangements are complete and the work nearly ready to be commenced for a beet sugar factory, a chicory factory, and a glucose works. These will be completed and in operation for the crop of 1918. The product of 100 acres in sugar beets was shipped to Norfolk this year, averaging twelve to fifteen tons per acre, showing as high as 22 percent in sucrose. Sugar beets from eight to ten pounds each are on exhibition in numerous places throughout the town.

A meeting of the church session, and reception of members, will be held at the Presbyterian Church Wednesday evening. Mr. Wheeler will lecture on "Who Are the Wicked?"
The police have been unable to get any trace of Harry Wilson, the absconding cigar salesman, nor has the wife of the missing man received any word from her truant spouse. Chief Brennan received a letter from a woman in Scranton, asking for a complete description of Wilson. He forwarded the information, and in the same mail sent a letter to the sheriff at Scranton, asking all about the woman who had written him. As yet, the chief has neither heard from the woman or sheriff.
"While down in the southwestern part of the state some time ago," says Mr. W. Chalmers, editor of the Chico (Cal.) Enterprise, "I had an attack of dysentery. Having heard of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhea Remedy, I bought a bottle. A couple of doses of it completely cured me. Now I am a champion of that remedy for all stomach and bowel complaints." For sale by druggists.

The lale of a gay deceiver of women , love
turned'Into ' hatred and misplaced affection
avenging ltscf | by darting out to hunt the
trail oJ a miscreant to a trust was spread
upon the records of the courts of this county
yesterday. It encompasses a man who has
succeeded , within the short space of a year
nnd a half , In raising himself to a position
among the local -100.
He was petted and reared In the bosom of
German society , but If the story of a recent
arrival from foreign shores may ba taken
tor truth , ho Is a bigamist.
Bwect revenge for disappointed love , broken
promises und distrust actuate the victim lo
call him sucli ul least. Not lor m'nny a day
have such choice morsels ol scandal Involved
a prominent man In his circles. Tor some
days It has furnished food to be relished by
his acquaintances ,
The subject of tills wrath of a woman Is
Edward Schmelfcr , the publisher of the
Omaha Daily Tribune. Under oath It Is
charged that he U the husband of two living
wives , one of whom Is still a resident of the
beautiful capital ol Austria , and the other , as
Is well known , an Omaha lady. In addition
to this It Is further alleged that numerous
broken feminine hearts are carrying around
with them pledges unredeemed , and all be
cause they allowed themselves to listen to
the sweet sayings of an apparent gentleman.
Altogether this man's life Is kald to have
been an adventurous one In the eld home.
Several weeks ago a comely woman arrived
hero from Chicago , making Inquiries ns to
the location of the Tribune odlce. Her
sudden appearance there l * < ild to have
caused a commotion , especially since she was
supposed to reign serenely over the pots anil
frying pans on a range In the back part of a
restaurant In far off Vienna. Her untimely
arrival Is now the cause of a $5,000 $ breach
of promise suit which has been Instituted In
the courts of Douglas countv. Mr.
Schmelser , who , since his residence
here , has performed nt least one
political acrobatlo ftat , landed here In the
last part of 1802. His business was that of
selling hibcot powders , and later on he dis
posed of cockroach traps to unsuspecting
customers until lie gained the good graces
of the widow of a deceased German , who ,
during his lifetime , had amasted quite a
fortune.
Schmelser then discarded his former com
panions and rose to the dignity of a news
paper publisher , a business wtilcli he claimed
to have followed In his native country.
Aside from a change of politics he has pur
sued the even tenor of his way. enjoying
the good things which came to him by his
last marriage until the avenging spirit ap
peared In the form of Miss Oelger. Her
affidavit , wlilch Is herewith published , tells
the entlro story. This document U as fol
lows :
HOW SHI3 WAS DETIIAYED.
Anna Gclger. a native of Austria and of
lojwful age , being duly sworn , upon her oath
deposes and says :
"During the year 1S82 I was a resident
of the city of Vienna and employed as cook
at the Margarettan hotel. Here I received
attentions from a man who was a patron
of that hostelry and who called hlmtelf Ed
ward Sclimclser. Under the prelenEO of
being single and engaged In the trade of
book agent he gained my confidence , The
cpurtshlp which followed lasted for some
tfnio and ciuled finally In bethrothal. 1'lann.
originating with Mr , Schmelser , were laid as
to our future married stale. Ho Impressed
upon mo the necessity of beginning under
the most moderate conditions , In which I
acqu'csced , alleging as reasons that he was
endeavoring to set himself up In business.
In order to accomplish this purpose as speed
ily as possible , and umljr the promUe of the
Immediate consummation of our marriage , he
besought mo to advance the turn of COO
florins from my savings , which were tlio
slow accumulations of years of hard toll
and Incessant labor , and thp result of frugal
habits. Confiding by nature , I believed
Implicitly In my betrothed hus
band , who artfully turned this
to his advantage , gaining my consent to
such an advance , This was advanced to him
during the latter part of the mouth of June ,
1$02. The money was not given to him ,
however , until the suave manners , wily
tricks and numerous misrepresentations ,
which Edward Schmelser used , ho evidently
understanding Ilia weaknesses of a loving
nnd trusting woman , ruined me. I
was led to believe that our mar
ried life would be happy. Suc
ceeding In his said designs , he shortly
thereafter Informed me affectionately that
It had become , necessary , before establishing
the business spoken of , for him lo undertake
a business trip to Lelpzlc , Germany , which ,
would absent him about eight days. He
went but never returned to his natlvo
land. Neither did 1 ECO him until a few-
short weeks ago here In Omaha , nor did
I up to that time receive a cent of the
money so vilely extracted from me. Shortly
afer , ( his sudden departure , as above , from
Vienna I learned from reliable sources that
my betrothed had absconded to America. I
thereupon Instituted proceedings against
him In Vienna. A letter- written by mo
caused a visit ol his brother , who occupies
a responsible c ( Tidal position there.
NOT THE ONLY VICTIM.
"From hla lips I learned that It was not the
Only person duped and left by
Edward Schmolscr , but ( hat a law
ful wlfo was far more of a
victim In affection and worldly goods than
myself. That lady , who resides In Hcr-
nals , Anna ( lass ? , a suburb of Vienna , with
tears In her ryes , lamenting her fate , Im
parted to onn of my relatives the Informa
tion that most of her Inheritance had been
dispelled by the husband , who had now
deserted her. I was also apprised that other
unsuspecting young women had been en
snared by Schmelser. In the action at
law which I had caused to bo begun against
him , the Bald Edward Schmelser , who Is
now the solo owner and publisher Qf
the Omnlm German Dally Tribune , a war
rant of arrest and Immediate apprehension
was , Issued out of the proper court , but the
officers failed to locate the Individual , oo
Hint the document remains still in their
ha'hds and the culprit at large enjoying his
Jricdom. Ttie fruitless search on the part
of the officers determined me to start on the
trdll myself. I sailed for New York In the
spring of 1M)3. ) There I received Informa
tion that the object of my trip was In Chicago
cage , Proceeding thither I searched for him
diligently , being aided by a detective whom
I employed until my financial means com
pelled me to desist. .My entlro savings ,
Amounting In the relghbornool to 2,100 florins ,
I have expended In this way , Without
money , 1 sought In Chicago a , situation In
which I remained until I left for Omaha
not long slnco. Shortly after my arrival
hero t discovered from a newspaper article
that Edward Schmelser was a resident of
this city. I confronted the publisher at his
omen in tlio I.auge block. I demanded from
him the sum embezzled , or at least as a
part payment $100 , the balance to bo paid
later. This , ho said , he was unable to do ,
but requesting ; me to accompany him up
town ho handed me $5 saying that this was
t nil he could pay at the time , A second visit
V to his ofllco was unsatisfactory , but a few .
days thereafter Mr. Schmelser appeared 111
the house where I am stopping and In
formed ma tli at all the moneys due me nnd
gotten from me In an 111 manner hid been
sent to Vienna , the balance per ( airgraph
since my arrival In Oma.na.
"A lotlcr wa * also received by me In De
cember , 1S03 , dated at Vienna , and which
purported to have been Bent by Edward
Schmtlscr's fanner landlady. In this I wai
requested to desist from all further prosecu
tion of Edward Eclimelscr , either here or In
the old country on payment of a consider- '
uble um , meaning 100 florins , This I did
notdo. , "

At the Hoyd theater this and Wednesday
evenings , Willie Collier , the quaint comedian ,
will' be seen in Edward E. Kldder's new
comedy-drama , "A Dack Number. " Much .
Interest is felt In this city to see Mr. Collier |
In a legitimate comedy role , which he as
sumes In the. play written for him by the
author of "Peaceful Valley" and "A Poor
Relation. " Farce comedy Is now with Mr.'X
Collier a thing of the past. Ills success In
"IIoss and IIoss" was so great that his
friends and admirers felt convinced he was
humorous enough not to require- the surround
ings of fares comedy. In fact. It was be
lieved that his quaint humor would be Been
to greater advantage If he pitched his efforts
on a higher plane. To test this , "A flack
Number" was tried , nnd wherever Mr. Col
lier has appeared In his nsw field , he lias
received the highest praise -from press and
public. Mr. Collier assumes a dual role ,
and Is given ample opportunity to show his
versatility : As Ilenjarnln Dennett , Tilr. Col
lier portrays the village- schoolmaster of an
Ohio village , taking everything seriously to
such ann extent r that he Is-almost oppressed
by the sternness of his sense of duty. There
Is absolutely nothing in" this fact to .remind
one of the actor who provoked so many
laughs ln"IIoss nnd IIoss , " other than the
lact that ho Is funny as ever , though In a
different line. As the teacher's brother ,
Shiftless Ike , there Is a strong reminder
of the Willie Collier the public knew In
former years. Thpro Is , however , no ludi
crous makeup nor constant Introduction of
specialties. From this It must not bo imag
ined that Mr. Collier has ceased to be funny ,
as lias been the case with many who have
attempted to rise from farce to legitimate. In
lila new sphere It ; 1ms , been agreed on all
sides that lie Is funnier than ever. There
Is a pastoral love story of much beauty. Den-
Jamln Dennett Is beset by troubles on all
sides , but In the end his devotion to duty Is
rewarded. Mr , Collier Is ably supported by
George W. Lsarte , ll A. Smith , James It.
Smith , M. L. Heckert , Edward Clark , Louise
Allen Collier. Helen Heliner , Belle Bucklln
nnd MaUle Earlc.
The splendid New York company presenting -
ing Edward Milton Royle's successful play ,
"Friends , " Is'announced to appear here again
November 2 , 3 and 4. "Friends" has been
the subject of more brilliant dramatic and ed
itorial criticism" than any other attraction
extant. We can say honestly , however , that
both play and players thoroughly deserve all
the praise that has been lavished by critics
of celebrity. When last produced hero It
created a lurorc1 , 'arid we 'were most pleased
to recognize Us sucqess and commend It to
our public , and , now that It will bo seen here
again , wo advise all who were unfortunate
enough to miss seeing It last season , to avail
themselves"of Hie- privilege this year. Last
season's strong cast will doubtless win new
triumphs this year. Selena Fetter Royle Is
noted for the originality of her toilets , and
as she has a complete nevr wardrobe this
season , her feminine admirers here will
doubtless be Interested. That superb actor-
pianist , Lucius Henderson , will be heard In
new selections during the piano recital. This
novel feature draws crowds of music , lovers
everywhere. "Friends" tells such an In
teresting story , blending comedy so artistic
ally with pathos , that a most enjoyable even-
Ing's entertainment Is assured. "Friends"
will be seen at Boyd's Friday , Saturday and
Sunday evenings and Saturday matinee.

NEW YORK , Oct. 23. Major Qeorgo nib-
bard of this city has recently returned from
an extensive trip through the norlhweat and
northern portions of the- Pacific slope. One
of the most Important pieces ol news he
brings concerns the proposed new Midland
Pacific railroad , over the route of which he
traveled for the especial purport of getting
a knowledge of that section of the country
in order to make a report thereon to Canadian
nnd foreign capitalists who am rcndy to in
vest In the new enterprise If they should bp
satisfied of Us feastMty. . Major Hlbhard is
now able to state * Uut the capital , both Cana
dian and foreign , Is satisfied nnd that he- has
therefore been able to enter line contract
with United States Senator 11. F. Pcttlgrcw
of South Dakota for the bulMIng of the Mid
land Pacific from Sioux Falls , S. D. , to Se
attle nnd Tacoma , Wash. , a distance of 1,000
miles. Success Is thus assured for what will
undoubtedly be- ono of the great transconti
nental routes.
Asked If the construction of the road was
IJ bo undertaken , nt an early dite. lajor Hlb-
bard replied : "The first section. otcndlns
from Sioux Falls to the coal fields of VVya-
mltig : , about 400 mites , will ba built In the
spring | ol 1835. These fields , by the way ,
contain ( In vast quantities a oal equal iti
quality to the best produced in Illinois. Slnco
South Dakota Is entirely without coal rr
other fuel In any amount It wjll oo seen what
an advantage sne will derive from those In
creased facilities for fuel that Is. plentiful
and cheap. The second section , from
the eastern boundary line of Wyoming
to the Yellowstone park , will bo completed
during the season of 1S96 anj In connection
with the Illinois Central air line it will fur
nish a route 200 miles shorter than any other
between Chicago and the nation : ) ! park.
"Tho third section , which Is expected to
follow the second section Immedlfttt-ly , : E
called the Idaho division nnd starts at the
western line of the Rockies , a country rich
In minerals , timber and agrlculiural areas. .
The fourth section , the Washlni.oi : d-vlson : ,
will pass through central Washington and
have terminals In the peculiarly promlsliig
ports of Tacoma. and Seattle.
"Sioux Falls , the eastern terminus , " con
tinued Major Hlbbard , "as you know , Is
equally promising. Flvo eastern Tallrcuds
converge there. It Is the most prosperous
city of South Dakota by a good deal , being
the distributing center for all the eastern
and southern parts of the state , southwestern
Minnesota and northwestern Iowa. The new
road will have Its principal repair and rail
road shops at Sioux Falls and make It the
basis for the distribution of all the materials
to be used In the construction of ihc fits
two divisions. On the first of UIOFO active
'X ' work will bo begun by June 1 , 1895. "

Mr. Dunlap , for the dlrecaors ' committee ,

In order to give this court Jurlsilctlon ! , < eHler
the complainant must be a citizen ofKansas ,

the minority stockholders argued tjiat while
this court might not have jurisdiction over
these defendants who are nonresidents of

DlnciiMlon ol the Qucntton Only Ono
Mnii Acnlnst It I.reUtntlro L'aiull-
ilatos Will Ito Quritloncd.
Tlio only matter of Importance that was
considered by the charter amendment com-
nltlee last night was that of the employ
ment of day labor In public \\orlo. The sub-
lommltteo appointed on this subject tinmedl-
" tcly after the organization of the commlt-
co broueht in a divided report , Jtessrs.
iV'Inspear and Towler presented a majority
eport , recommending that section 113 of the
barter be so amended as to provide that any
nibllc works that were to be paid for by a
icneral tax might. In the discretion of the
mayor and council , be done by day labor
ndcr the supervision of the Board of Public
tVorks , and that all material should be pur-
ihased by the city.
The minority report was signed by Mr.
Vyman , who objected to the proposed amend
ment , on the ground that the city would not
ccelvo as good service from day labor as It
Id on contracts , lie held that the proposed
measure was contrary to public policy. In
bat it would make the department a po-
Itlcal machine. The work was now being
lone as economically as possible , without
tijury to the laboring men. and , in his opln-
on. the amendment contained In the majority
cport was not explicit , and was liable to
'erverslon. '
In support of the amendment Mr. Wtnspear
: ald that the only things contemplated to
e done by day labor were the street swccp-
ng and sewer construction. If It was found
hat the results were- superior to those se-
lured under the present system. In regard
, o the street sweeping be stated that a large
laving couid bo effected If tbo work was
'ono by the city and the employ-
lent would be given to Omalm laboring men
Instead of a lot of cheap men who were
mportcd by the contractor.
DAY LA neil GENERALLY PAVOUED.
The general tendency in all the larger cities
fits toward the employment of day labor In
ome departments of public work and the
esults had been satisfactory In every case.
The majority report was adopted , Mr.
.Vyman . alone dissenting.
Colonel C. S. Chase was named to fill the
vacancy on the committee , caused by the
eslgnatlon of W. S. Popplcton.
The question of making some provision
which would enable the city to build or pur-
haso n city Jail was suggested by Major
iVhccler. and referred to Mr. Connell's com
mittee. In this connection Mr. Connell sug
gested that the city owned property on Ninth
treet , which was admirably adapted for that
lurpose. There were a number of streets
_ iuat below there which could be utilized as
a stone yard , and would be adjacent to the
railroad tracks , so that clone could bo read
ily supplied.
On motion of Mr. Wheeler a special com
mittee of three was- appointed to recommend
iuch changes as were necessary to remove
nctmsletencles and conflicting passages. The
committee consists of Connell , Lemly and
Wheeler. The committee adjourned to Thurs
day night , yihen nil legislative candidates
will be expected to be present.

some votes short after the election. The other fel
low , with less angelic qualifications , is usually the
choice of common sense. So it is in society , so
in business. The clothier who slashes and

Injured Woman Tracks a Man All the Way from Vienna to Omaha
MILL S. ANNA GUSNER'S 'BILL FOR DAMAGES
Alleges that she won whom! by the dollar and live him back. Gold under mine, untitled woman.
The late of a gay deceiver of women, love turned into hatred and misplaced affection avenging itself by darting out to hunt the trail of a miscreant to a trust was spread upon the records of the courts of this county yesterday. It encompasses a man who has succeeded, within the short space of a year and a half, in raising himself to a position among the local elite.
He was petted and reared in the bosom of German society, but if the story of a recent arrival from foreign shores may be taken for truth, he is a bigamist.
Sweet revenge for disappointed love, broken promises, and distrust actuate the victim to call him such at least. Not for many a day have such choice morsels of scandal involved a prominent man in his circles. For some days it has furnished food to be relished by his acquaintances.
The subject of this wrath of a woman is Edward Schmeiser, the publisher of the Omaha Daily Tribune. Under oath, it is charged that he is the husband of two living wives, one of whom is still a resident of the beautiful capital of Austria, and the other, as is well known, an Omaha lady. In addition to this, it is further alleged that numerous broken feminine hearts are carrying around with them pledges unredeemed, and all because they allowed themselves to listen to the sweet sayings of an apparent gentleman.
Altogether, this man's life is said to have been an adventurous one in the old country. Several weeks ago a comely woman arrived here from Chicago, making inquiries as to the location of the Tribune office. Her sudden appearance there is said to have caused a commotion, especially since she was supposed to reign serenely over the pots and frying pans on a range in the back part of a restaurant in far-off Vienna. Her untimely arrival is now the cause of a $5,000 breach of promise suit which has been instituted in the courts of Douglas County. Mr. Schmeiser, who, since his residence here, has performed at least one political acrobatics act, landed here in the last part of 1802. His business was that of selling insect powders, and later on he disposed of cockroach traps to unsuspecting customers until he gained the good graces of the widow of a deceased German, who, during his lifetime, had amassed quite a fortune.
Schmeiser then discarded his former companions and rose to the dignity of a newspaper publisher, a business which he claimed to have followed in his native country. Aside from a change of politics, he has pursued the even tenor of his way, enjoying the good things which came to him by his last marriage until the avenging spirit appeared in the form of Miss Gussner. Her affidavit, which is hereby published, tells the entire story. This document is as follows:
HOW SHE WAS DELAYED.
Anna Gussner, a native of Austria and of lawful age, being duly sworn, upon her oath deposes and says:
"During the year 1882 I was a resident of the city of Vienna and employed as cook at the Margarethe hotel. Here I received attentions from a man who was a patron of that hostelry and who called himself Edward Schmeiser. Under the pretense of being single and engaged in the trade of book agent he gained my confidence. The courtship which followed lasted for some time and called finally in betrothal. The plans, originating with Mr. Schmeiser, were laid as to our future married state. He impressed upon me the necessity of beginning under the most moderate conditions, in which I acquiesced, alleging as reasons that he was endeavoring to set himself up in business. In order to accomplish this purpose as speedily as possible, and under the promise of the immediate consummation of our marriage, he besought me to advance the sum of 800 florins from my savings, which were the slow accumulations of years of hard toil and incessant labor, and the result of frugal habits. Confiding by nature, I believed implicitly in my betrothed husband, who artfully turned this to his advantage, gaining my consent to such an advance. This was advanced to him during the latter part of the month of June, 1882. The money was not given to him, however, until the suave manners, wily tricks, and numerous misrepresentations, which Edward Schmeiser used, he evidently understood his weaknesses as a loving and trusting woman, ruined me.
"I was led to believe that our married life would be happy. Succeeding in his said designs, he shortly thereafter informed me affectionately that it had become necessary, before establishing the business spoken of, for him to undertake a business trip to Leipzig, Germany, which would absent him about eight days. He went but never returned to his native land. Neither did I hear from him until a few short weeks ago here in Omaha, nor did I, up to that time, receive a cent of the money so vilely extracted from me. Shortly after his sudden departure, as above, from Vienna, I learned from reliable sources that my betrothed had absconded to America. I thereupon instituted proceedings against him in Vienna. A letter written by me caused a visit from his brother, who occupies a responsible civil position there.
"From his lips, I learned that it was not the only person duped and left by Edward Schmeiser, but that a lawful wife was far more of a victim in affection and worldly goods than myself. That lady, who resides in Hernals, a suburb of Vienna, with tears in her eyes, lamenting her fate, imparted to one of my relatives the information that most of her inheritance had been dissipated by the husband, who had now deserted her. I was also apprised that other unsuspecting young women had been ensnared by Schmeiser. In the action at law which I had caused to be begun against him, the said Edward Schmeiser, who is now the sole owner and publisher of the Omaha German Daily Tribune, a warrant of arrest and immediate apprehension was, issued out of the proper court, but the officers failed to locate the individual, on which the document remains still in their hands and the culprit at large enjoying his freedom. The fruitless search on the part of the officers determined me to start on the trail myself. I sailed for New York in the spring of 1883. There I received information that the object of my trip was in Chicago. Proceeding thither I searched for him diligently, being aided by a detective whom I employed until my financial means compelled me to desist. My entire savings, amounting in the homeland to 2,100 florins, I have expended in this way. Without money, I sought in Chicago a situation in which I remained until I left for Omaha not long since. Shortly after my arrival here, I discovered from a newspaper article that Edward Schmeiser was a resident of this city. I confronted the publisher at his home in the Hague block. I demanded from him the sum embezzled, or at least as a part payment $100, the balance to be paid later. This, he said, he was unable to do, but requesting me to accompany him uptown he handed me $5 saying that this was all he could pay at the time. A second visit to his office was unsatisfactory, but a few days thereafter Mr. Schmeiser appeared at the house where I am stopping and informed me that at all the moneys due me and gotten from me in an illegal manner had been sent to Vienna, the balance per telegram since my arrival in Omaha.
A letter was also received by me in December, 1903, dated at Vienna, and which purported to have been sent by Edward Schmelzer's landlady. In this I was requested to desist from all further prosecution of Edward Schmelzer, either here or in the old country on payment of a considerate sum, meaning 100 florins. This I did not do.
The case against Schmelzer is at present in the hands of local attorneys.
John J. Ganson has sued Louis H. Kent in an action to recover the sum of $1,000, which the plaintiff alleges is due as commission on a sale. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant was the one-half owner of the Belmont Hotel and that with him the property was listed for sale at $170,000. The plaintiff avers that H.F. Cady bought the property at the price named, but that the defendant refused to pay the agreed commission.
Hannah Biles, on behalf of the Dates Mercantile company, has secured a restraining order which prevents the theater from closing up her establishment on North Sixteenth Street in a suit brought by W.A. Saussay. She alleges that if the writs which are now in the hands of the officers were levied her husband would be damaged to the extent of $5,000, if not more.

JAYDEN BROS.
At the Boyd theater this and Wednesday evenings, Willie Collier, the quaint comedian, will be seen in Edward E. Kilder's new comedy-drama, "A Back Number." Much interest is felt in this city to see Mr. Collier in a legitimate comedy role, which he assumes in the play written for him by the author of "Peaceful Valley" and "A Poor Relation." Farce comedy is now with Mr. Collier a thing of the past. His success in "Hoss and Hoss" was so great that his friends and admirers felt convinced he was humorous enough not to require the surroundings of farce comedy. In fact, it was believed that his quaint humor would be seen to greater advantage if he pitched his efforts on a higher plane. To test this, "A Back Number" was tried, and wherever Mr. Collier has appeared in his new field, he has received the highest praise from press and public. Mr. Collier assumes a dual role, and is given ample opportunity to show his versatility. As Benjamin Dennett, Mr. Collier portrays the village schoolmaster of an Ohio village, taking everything seriously to such an extent that he is almost oppressed by the sternness of his sense of duty. There is absolutely nothing in this fact to remind one of the actor who provoked so many laughs in "Hoss and Hoss," other than the fact that he is funny as ever, though in a different line. As the teacher's brother, Shiftless Ike, there is a strong reminder of the Willie Collier the public knew in former years. There is, however, no ludicrous makeup nor constant introduction of specialties. From this it must not be imagined that Mr. Collier has ceased to be funny, as has been the case with many who have attempted to rise from farce to legitimate. In his new sphere, it has been agreed on all sides that he is funnier than ever. There is a pastoral love story of much beauty, Denniston Dennett is beset by troubles on all sides, but in the end his devotion to duty is rewarded. Mr. Collier is ably supported by George W. Lartie, H.A. Smith, James R. Smith, M.L. Heckert, Edward Clark, Louise Allen Collier, Helen Heller, Belle Bucklin, and Matilda Earle.
The splendid New York company presenting Edward Milton Royle's successful play, "Friends," is announced to appear here again November 2, 3, and 4. "Friends" has been the subject of more brilliant dramatic and editorial criticism than any other attraction extant. We can say honestly, however, that both play and players thoroughly deserve all the praise that has been lavished by critics of celebrity. When last produced here, it created a furore, and we were most pleased to recognize its success and commend it to our public, and, now that it will be seen here again, we advise all who were unfortunate enough to miss seeing it last season to avail themselves of the privilege this year. Selena Fetter Royle is noted for the originality of her toilets, and as she has a complete new wardrobe this season, her feminine admirers here will doubtless be interested. That superb actor-pianist, Lucius Henderson, will be heard in new selections during the piano recital. This novel feature draws crowds of music lovers everywhere. "Friends" tells such an interesting story, blending comedy so artistically with pathos, that a most enjoyable evening's entertainment is assured. "Friends" will be seen at Boyd's Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings and Saturday matinee.

CHICKEN THIEVES CAPTURED
Henry Brown and Madison Milburn, arrested Saturday for stealing chickens, were arraigned in police court yesterday. They pleaded not guilty and their trial was set for this afternoon.
These men have been living in what the police supposed to be a vacant house near Thirty-fourth and Parker streets. Investigation showed that they had made preparations to do a whole-sale business in poultry during the coming season.
Detective Campbell discovered a trap door under the matting in a pantry. This door was opened and a shaft six feet deep was found. From the shaft to an unused cistern in the next yard was a tunnel, and it was in this cistern that these men hid their plunder.
Another short tunnel leading to a cistern was found in the rear of the house the men occupied. In both places there was evidence of chickens having been on the incinerator. The police are positive that they have at least part of the gang that has been robbing hen roosts for some time. Every effort will be made by the police department to convict the prisoners.
To be held until further notice: There's only one direct route the Burlington. Leave here at 4:50 this afternoon and you are in Helena or Butte a few minutes after 900 a.m., day after tomorrow. For further information, contact M.J. Dowling, City Passenger Agent, at 1321 Fremont Street.

SIUX FALLS TO THE COAST South Dakota's Metropolis, the Head of a Great Scheme, NEW TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD PLANNED. Contracts Already Signed for the Construction of the Midland Pacific Unity Through Sioux Falls to Seattle.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23. Major George Hibbard of this city has recently returned from an extensive trip through the northwest and northern portions of the Pacific slope. One of the most important pieces of news he brings concerns the proposed new Midland Pacific railroad, over the route of which he traveled for the especial purpose of getting a knowledge of that section of the country in order to make a report thereon to Canadian and foreign capitalists who are ready to invest in the new enterprise if they should be satisfied of its feasibility. Major Hibbard is now able to state that the capital, both Canadian and foreign, is satisfied and that he has therefore been able to enter into contract with United States Senator H.F. Pettigrew of South Dakota for the building of the Midland Pacific from Sioux Falls, S.D., to Seattle and Tacoma, Wash., a distance of 1,000 miles. Success is thus assured for what will undoubtedly be one of the great transcontinental routes.
Asked if the construction of the road was to be undertaken at an early date, Major Hibbard replied: "The first section, extending from Sioux Falls to the coal fields of Wyoming, about 400 miles, will be built in the spring of 1895. These fields, by the way, contain vast quantities of coal equal in quality to the best produced in Illinois. Since South Dakota is entirely without coal or other fuel in any amount, it will be seen what an advantage she will derive from those increased facilities for fuel that is plentiful and cheap. The second section, from the eastern boundary line of Wyoming to the Yellowstone park, will be completed during the season of 1896 and in connection with the Illinois Central air line it will furnish a route 200 miles shorter than any other between Chicago and the national park.
"The third section, which is expected to follow the second section immediately, is called the Idaho division and starts at the western line of the Rockies, a country rich in minerals, timber, and agricultural areas. The fourth section, the Washington division, will pass through central Washington and have terminals in the particularly promising ports of Tacoma and Seattle.
"Sioux Falls, the eastern terminus," continued Major Hibbard, "as you know, is equally promising. Five eastern railways converge there. It is the most prosperous city of South Dakota by a good deal, being the distributing center for all the eastern and southern parts of the state, southwestern Minnesota, and northwestern Iowa. The new road will have its principal repair and railroad shops at Sioux Falls and make it the basis for the distribution of all the materials to be used in the construction of the first two divisions. On the first of June active work will be begun by June 1, 1895."
The Omaha Canal and Power company has filed a notice in the office of the county clerk whereby it lays claim to 75,000 miners' inches of the water flowing in the Platte River at the point where the river intersects Douglas County. The notice states that this water is to be conveyed through an open ditch, or canal, capable of containing a stream three feet in depth, the same to be delivered at Seymour Park.

Hotter Than Expected.
The people of the Black Hills are more than pleased with the fast mail and express service just established on the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad.
The time and service are much better than expected. Train is equipped with Wagner palace sleepers, free-reclining chair cars and modern coaches. Leaves Omaha at 2:10 p.m., and arrives at Hot Springs at 3:03 a.m., Deadwood at 11 a.m.; stopping at principal points en route, thus placing the Black Hills and intermediate territory that much nearer Omaha, a move which Omaha jobbers and business men will also appreciate.
This must certainly result in the wonderful resources of the Black Hills mining and farming along the eastern foothills, and the world-wide known Hot Springs becoming more thoroughly and profitably known to Omaha and eastern people.

Highest Quality in Leavening Power, Latest U.S. Gov't Report
AT LABOR WON THE VICTORY
icentiment In Favor of it Expressed by Charter Amendment Committee.
THIS METHOD FOR ALL PUBLIC WORK
' and Night's Meeting Mostly Confined to Discussion of the Question Only One
Man Against It: Representing Labor Will Be Questioned.
The only matter of importance that was considered by the charter amendment committee last night was that of the employment of day labor in public works. The subcommittee appointed on this subject timely brought in a divided report, Messrs. Winspear and Towler presented a majority report, recommending that section 113 of the charter be so amended as to provide that any public works that were to be paid for by a general tax might, in the discretion of the mayor and council, be done by day labor under the supervision of the Board of Public Works, and that all material should be purchased by the city.
The minority report was signed by Mr.
Vyman, who objected to the proposed amendment, on the ground that the city would not receive as good service from day labor as it did on contracts, held that the proposed measure was contrary to public policy. In support of the amendment, Mr. Winspear stated that the only things contemplated to be done by day labor were the street sweeping and sewer construction. If it was found that the results were superior to those secured under the present system, in regard to the street sweeping, he stated that a large saving could be effected if the work were done by the city and the employment would be given to skilled laboring men instead of a lot of cheap men who were imported by the contractor.
DAY LABOR GENERALLY PAVORED. The general tendency in all the larger cities is toward the employment of day labor in some departments of public work and the results had been satisfactory in every case. The majority report was adopted, Mr. Vyman alone dissenting. Colonel C. S. Chase was named to fill the vacancy on the committee, caused by the resignation of W. S. Poppleton.
The question of making some provision which would enable the city to build or purchase a city jail was suggested by Major Wheeler, and referred to Mr. Connell's committee. In this connection, Mr. Connell suggested that the city owned property on Ninth Street, which was admirably adapted for that purpose. There were a number of streets that could be utilized as a stone yard, and would be adjacent to the railroad tracks, so that stone could be readily supplied.
On motion of Mr. Wheeler, a special committee of three was appointed to recommend such changes as were necessary to remove inconsistencies and conflicting passages. The committee consists of Connell, Lemly, and Wheeler. The committee adjourned to Thursday night, when all legislative candidates will be expected to be present.

Is an easy task. The man with a character
as pure as the "lily of the valley," who is ready
to sacrifice his individual interests for that of his
state, who loves and respects his fellow-men better than himself, and who's ideas are ever in consistency with all cranky notions, will always be
some votes short after the election. The other fellow,
with less angelic qualifications, is usually the
choice of common sense. So it is in society, so
in business. The clothier who slashes and
smashes and gives goods away in order to be a
good fellow, is to be fought shy like a Jersey
mosquito. The Nebraska gives nothing away,
neither do we take anything (for nothing. We'll
try our utmost to protect your dollar and give
you all we can for it. This season we can give
you more for your money than ever before, and
we do it cheerfully, without much ado, and super
fluous newspaper display. A suit you formerly
paid us $7.50 for was always worth $8.00 in any
store. This season we'll take but $5
DOLLARS and give you choice of two respectable,
all wool cheviot suits, well made, good linings and honestly finished one of dark blue,
the other of dark gray effect both of a neat
plaid.
A true black cheviot all wool suit is worth
$15.00, so is an all wool cassimere, but we'll furnish either this year at $8.75, although they were cheap last year at $11.50, common sense buyers bought it for that price at a bargain. Our black cheviots are double
breasted serge lined, elegantly trimmed, and the
cassimere ones are single breasted, pin checked,
or brown and gray mixtures, Italian lined.
Examine all $15.00 suits offered about town
if you please and compare 'em to our $8.75 one.

Although It Is asserted that In a speech
at O'Neill lorn Majors expressed the wish
that lie could throw the keys ol Castle Oar-
dcri Into the sea. for the reason that there
' * wore already too many Germans , Swedes and
Bohemians In this country , Ills campaign
mnnaKcrs have from the very outset of the
campaign exerted every effort to capture the
German vote. They went to work on the
theory that nny man who could speak or
write the German language must necessarily
lers , who ape willing enough to work for
Majors for the money thcra la In It , Ono of
the tlrst things undertaken was the conver
sion of all the German pa pert * In the state
Into Majors organs. Republican papers were
seduced Into supporting the railroad candi
date , and wliero no German republican paper
existed the democratic papers were purchased
outright. Der Omaha Trlbunen , the Nebraska
CltyStaats Zeltung , the West Point Votks-
blatte and tha Fremont paper have all been
converted Into active agents for the dissemina
tion of the fakes prepared by the literary
bureau for the Majors campaign. All the
sensational claptrap , canards , roorbacks ,
misrepresentations and falsehoods ground out
by tha Jolinson-Annlnlas syndicate have been
laboriously translated Into German and ( orccJ
onto German renders In every part of the
stale.
SCHtt'ENK AT TIII3 HRAD.
The wprk of converting the honest German
citizens of Nebraska to the cause of Major-
Ism lias been placed under the personal con
trol of the notorious Peter Schwcnk , who ,
appropriately enough , was Tom Majors' thlu
partner In the effort to steal a seat In con
grsss a number of years ago. Schwenk was
the go-between who carried the census cer
tificate to Washington , which was afterwards
altered by Majors with fraudulent Intent.
Schwcnk's connection with the forgery was
co notorious that the congressional commit
tee of which Tom Heed was chairman In
cluded his name In the list of men recom
mended to the United States dlstrct attorney
tor Indictment. Although engaged In many
pieces of dirty work , both before and since
that time , Schwenk's connection with the
contingent congressman job was undoubtedly
the cleanest piece of work ho ever attempted
Through political Intluence Schwenk se
cured the appointment In the United States
land office at Norfolk , and his conduct ot
that oilco ) wns of Mich a tcandalous char
acter that tha land department at Washing
ton Instituted n rigid Invcstlgat on , which
ended In his dismissal in disgrace. Schwenk
is the r'ght men In the right place , for no
better man to perform the dirty work of the
Majors campalgnero could be found.
Closely allied with Schwenk Is his old-
time nsioclate , Jacob Hauck , a notorious po
litical fraud and sleight of hand1 worker , who
has shown his true character on many oc
casions.
Another man engaged by the Majors rula
or ruin crowd Is the famous Max Adler , who
lias been Bent "over the state to make
speeches In the German lettlements. Adlcr
lias enjoyed a speckled caresr covering many
years. He was at one time an editorial
writer on a sectarian paper at Cleveland , 0. .
and afterwards became associated with Au
gust Spies on the Arbe ter SJeltnng.the an
archist newspaper that dlJ ici much toward
Inciting the Ilaymarket riots , and which
culminated In the arrest of every man con
nected with the publication. Spies was af
terwards hanged for his compl city In the
anarchist plot , but the others associated with
liliu In the management of the Arbeltcr
Zeltung escaped trial.
The present editor of the Omaha Tribune ,
who Is now eo active In the Mujors cause. Is
the defendant In n scandalous breach of
promise case- filed In the district court of
Douglas county last Monday by a young
woman recently arrived In this country from
Germany. Thousands of copies of the Tribune
have been scattered broadcast over the state ,
and It Is stilted upon goad authority that
Its publisher has received the munificent sum
of $200 $ from the republican state central
committee- , together with the delinquent tax
list.
These are the men who have been hired
to assist the tottering cause of the railroad
politicians who are endeavoring- foist Tom
Majors upon the people of the state. Their
effort ! ! will bo of little help. The German
population of Nebraska Is not to bo Influ
enced by campaign falsehoods circulated by
men of their character.
NO MILK NOR HONEY FOUND.
The most discouraging reports continue to
pour Into the Majors headquarters from the
Interior part of the state. Yesterday nearly
fifteen ot the workers who have been JourneyIng -
Ing up and down Nebraska returned to head
quarters , and the news they brought only
served to Increase the gloom that settled
down over the top story of the Mlllard hotel
early last week. One.of . the reports was
brought by a prominent republican , who was
for several years a leading member of the
, , , Btato central committee. Ha was closely
E * Identified with the Inner circle of railroad
politics , and his judgment lias always been
considered good. He Informed tha managers
ot the Majors campaign that everything
pointed to Holconib's election by a majority
ot at least 10,000 , He had visited the larger
towns In the Interior part of the state , as
veil as many of tha smaller ones In the
western and northern counties. Ho could find
no evidence anywhere that the republicans
were solidified In support of the entire
ticket , and ho warned the managers that
they muit not count upon uny serious division
In the democratic ranks , Ho stated It as
his belief that more than C5 per cent ot ( ho
democratic votes would ba cast for Hol-
cornb , and ho estimated the republican de-
feclon | at fully 10 per cent.
Another report was received from a leading
republican , who Is Identified with the Uusl- [
noas Men's association. This gentleman informed -
_ formed the committee that the republican
*
v * defection along tha entire Klkhorn valley
was something almost beyond belief , In
many small towns the republicans were out
spoken In their opposition tu Majors. He
could bring nothing that could encourage the
committee.
LET THE LEGISLATURE GO.
It Is on open cecrct that tha men who
arc running the campaign are willing lo
sacrifice the legislative ticket wherever they
eee an opportunity of securing a few votes
for the head of the republican ticket. This
( act has finally become Impressed upon the
minds of some of the legislative candidate )
bed they are losing no time In denouncing
the treachery of the men who are bound to
elect Majors to the exclusion of ovcry other
candidate on the republican ticket If neces
sary. Ono of the republican candidates for
the senate from Douglas county makes mi
open cecrct of his belief that Majors Is de
feated and hU assertions that Holcumb tola
the winning candidate arc received with ex
ceeding bad erace by the Majors manipu
lators ,
The leading candidates , together with tome
ot their chief supporters ; held a conference
tit the Mlllnrd hotel last night , and the meet-
Inn was not In the nature of a love feast.
The republican candidates below the head of
the- ticket arc extremely provoked over the
fact that nothing It being mid or done. In
favor ot nny one- but Majors. The claims Inot
the ofh r candidates sro studlouily Ignored
by the paid writers , who are Dlllnc the col.
umns of the B. & M , Journal with columns ol.ot
fa.\\ntnK flattery for Tom Majors.
CODDLING UNORGANIZED LADOIt.
In the meantime th railroads are still pur-
lulng their dlirepuUble tactici. Five Uur-
llnjton engineeri have been kept on ; beat
( or the j > * t two -neck * urging the em
ployes of that company to vote for Majors
on the ground that ho Is friend of non-union
labor. The Burlington engineers do not be
long to the brotherhood , and It Is also a well
known fact that the railroad company has
weedd out of Its employ as many men be
longing to railway organizations as possible.
The llurllngton's enmity to the labor unions
among the railway employes Is welt known ,
but Its managers hope to secure the votes of
tha men not organized Into unions and for
this reason the five engineers have been sent
out to pick , up stragglers , who were not
caught In the general order that all employes
must vote for Majors or lose their positions.
Another form of intimidation has been
devised In order to drive republicans to the
support of Majors. The campaign managers
at last realize the seriousness ot the republi
can defection from Majors and are taking
stcss to decrease It by resort to character
istic tactics. It Is stated on good authority
that they have In many counties secretly pre
pared lists ot the names ot men who arc
known to be against Majors. Between now
and election day every effort will be made
to bulldoze these Independent republicans Into
voting for Majors. They will be threatened
and coaxed by turns and every possible In-
lluence , fntr or unfair , will be brought to
bear upon them. The threat will not suc
ceed. The republicans who are In the habit
of voting for themselves have long since
madu up their minds to scratch Majors' name
from the ticket , and they will not be fright
ened by the threats of the railroad crowd.
J. W. Johnson , the chief of the H. & M.
literary bureau , makes no secret of the fact
that ho Is giving his whole time to the
preparation of campaign material to bo
printed In the columns ot such newspapers
that can be secured by purchase or other
wise. Johnson Is secretary of the State Hoard
of Transportation , and for nearly four years
has drawn a salary of $2,000 per annum from
the state treasury. Ho devotes his entire
time to politics and his services to the state
have never been of the slightest value. If
the same railroad croud Is continued In
power Johnson will still retain the secretary
ship of the board , and it Is the knowledge
of this fact that Is driving republican ? away
from support of the ticket. He is not the
only one who draws a large salary from the
state nnd puts In bis time doing political
work. The state house has practically been
depopulated since the campaign commenced ,
. .
large numbers of clerks from the several de
partments j , having been transferred to Omaha
In order to assist In the work of electing
Majors. In the
meantime their salaries go
right on at liberal rates. When the leglsla-
turn convenes the same crowd of clerks will
bo clamoring for Increased salaries and con
tinuance in their positions , and they will
bring evidence to show that the state cannot
possibly dispense with their services. The
taxpayers may poslstfy conclude that If the
state can spare so many of Its employes from
the state house to assist In a political cam
paign It can very well spare them the year
around.
SENTIMENT AT LAWRENCG.
The Intensity of the unfavorable senti
ment against Thomas J. Majors among the
business men of the smaller towns of the
state has been fully demonstrated In the
present campaign. The manifesto sent out
by the Omaha Business Men's association has
aroused a feeling against Majors that Is costIng -
Ing him hundreds of votes. The form of the
IturllnKton czar Is plainly observed back of
the association , and this fact has been a
powerful factor In the rapidly Increasing
opposition to Majors. The protests of the
business men of several towns have already
been printed. Another signed remonstrance
comes from Lawrence In the shape of a
series of resolutions , signed by twenty-two
business men and firms. The resolutions arc
as follows :
To the Voters of Nebraska , GreetingTte
It Resolved , that we , the undersigned busi
ness men and voters of Lawrence , Neb. , do
not have to bend the knee or uncover the
head to the Business Men'H association of
Omaha. That we have a perfect right to
vote as we see lit , and we think we know
how to vote for our Interest nnd the Inter
est of the people of Nebraska. That we
have not received ary favors from the
Business Men's association of Omaha or
those comprising It , nor from any railroad
that they may be working for , except such
ns we have paid for That our families and
business Interests are as dear to us as
theirs are to them. That w > do not think
It to our credit or our benefit to assist In
putting n man at the head of our state gov
ernment who was unable to nlve n correct
enumeration of the stnte , or nt least thinU
he should be able to pet within 50,000 or
100.000 of the number. That the state of
Nebraska has been in the hands of the re
publican party lo these many years , and we
have been unable to see any perceptible de
crease In ihf Plate taxes. That when the
roll Is called and the votes counted the
returns will show that the Business Men's
association of Onuha didn't control nil the
votes of all the people of all the stateof
Nebraska. Ho It
Resolved , That we consider It nn Insult
! > thp American manhood of Nebraska that
the Business Men'H association of Omaha
should peek to influence their votes In favor
of ring-and corporate Inlliience. Be it further
Resolved , That we will stand up for Ne
braska , but posulbly not the way the Busi
ness Men's association of Omaha would
have us.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 30. The annual re
port of Governor West of Utah was pub
lished today. Much space Is given to the
dlltlcult 63 gr wing out of the Invasion of the
territory by the Industrial army. The gov
ernor blames the Southern Pacific Rullioad
company for this Invasion. After quoting u
letter to C. P. Huntfngton , published at the
time , protesting' against the Southern Pa
cific dumping California Industrials on the
people ot Utah , the report says ; "It will
be observed that the Icsue Joined was
whether the Btato of California , Us author
ities , state , county or municipal , could or
ganjze or encourage nnd aid the organiza
tion of Us dependent paupers , criminal nnd
Idle , dissolute classes , nnd with the assistance

points In the report are felicitations on the
statehood act. The good effects to follow
from the opening to settlement of the Uln-
tnh and UncoinpaliRre reservations by con
gress are- pointed out.

very generous action of President Cleveland
hoa met with the hearty approval of all
clacsta of our people and Is especially illp
preciated by hundreds of our best citizens
who were disfranchised and have since the
Issuance of the amnesty availed themselves

ARE SHUT OUT ENTIRELY
All German Ports Closed Against the Im
portation of American Cattle ,
FEAR OF TEXAS FEVER TH- REASON GIVEN
Itoal Itrnion li Suppose * ! to llo Retaliation
According tu Secretary Morton ,
BERLIN , Oct. 30. The prohibition against
the landing of American cattle and American
dressed meat announced by a decree of the
Hamburg senate on Saturday last , ns exclu
sively cabled to the Associated press , was
extended today to every port of Germany.
Interviews which the correspondent of the
Associated press has had with the ofllclals
of the Interior department of the Prussian
Husbandry department and the German For
eign office would seem to show that the pro
hibition Is of a preventatlvc nature and the
action of Individual German states. The For
eign ofilce officials , for Instance , state that
the prohibition Is "no affair ot the Irish , " as
the measures adopted are purely administra
tive and sanitary and that as such they
belong to each German state. The empire as
such , these ofllclals add , has not taken any
steps to prohibit the landing of American
cattle or American meat.
The officials ot the Interior department
say that tno Importation of cattle from
.
America suffering from Texas fever has been
clearly proved , and that the measures taken
are purely of n preventatlve nature , such as
each German state Is entitled to exorcise
through Its police authority within Its own
territory.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 30. The announce
ment by the Assoc ated press that the embargo
barge placed upon American cattle by the
senate of Hamburg had been extended to
the length of an exclusion of American cat
tle nnd dressed msat from every part of
Germany was received with surprise by
department ofllclals today. That Texas fever
was merely a ground which Germany could
adopt for enforcing retaliatory measures
against the United States because of the
supposed discrimination nga.nst . German In
terests In the sugar schedule of the tariff
bill was the prevalent Impression. The
German ambassador , However , assured the
secretary of state yesterday that the
measure ot exclusion was Inspired
br sanitary reasons and had no pollleal !
motive behind It. Government officers are
obliged to take this view of the case , since
any other view might seem a reflection upon
the ambassador.
Secretory Morton , who has Just returned
from a trip abroad , held a consultation with
Secretary Gresham about the matter today ,
but the stringent measures Just adopted were
unknown. Ho assured Secretary Gresham
that the exportation of Texas fever Into Qor-
many by American cattle was altogether
Improbable , If not Impossible , according to
the opinion of the experts of the department
who have devoted much time to Investigating
the disease during the past year , and said
he7a"3 confident the supposed discovery of
Texas fever was a mistake. When the As
sociated press dispatch from Berlin was
shown to the secretary of agriculture lie ex
pressed surprise. Exclusion of dressed
meats he was at a loss to understand , be
cause they are oil Inspected by competent
government officials In 4hls- country before
they are shipped. Texas fever , moreover , can
bo carried only by live cattle. The live cattle
exported from this country nro also Inspected
at the ports of shipment to sec that they are
not diseased. Secretary Morton said he had no
doubt that the German ofllclals Intended to
act In the Interests of the public health In
excluding American cattle , as the sanitary
regulations of that country are unusually
stringent upon all such matters. The secre
tary thinks the damage to be Inflicted upon
American interests by this action is greatly
overestimated , as our exports of meat lo Ger
many are comparatively light. From his ob
servation on his recent trip , Secretary Mor
ton Is convinced that the exportation ot live
cattle cannot be made to pay as well as ship
ping dressed meats. The establishment of
Increased facilities for shipping meats In
cold storage , he thinks , will greatly Increase
the American business.
Dr. D. E. Salmon , chief of the Bureau of
Animal Industry , said : "Admitting for the
sake of argument that cattle which are
killed In Germany are Inflicted with the
Texas fever , there Is no longer danger to
the German cattle , because In this country
cattle with this disease do not communicate
It to other animals. The disease Is not com
municated directly from one animal to others ,
but the animals In a certain district In the
southern part of the United States are able
to Infect pastures and pent In which they
happen to be placed within thirty days from
the time they leave the Infected districts.
Animals which contract the- disease obtain
the Infection from these pastures , not di
rectly from other cattle.
Secretary Morton was at the cabinet meet
ing today for the first time slnco his return
from Europe. The principal subject discussed
was the recent action of the German govern
ment discriminating against American cattle -
tlo nnd American beef. Secretary Morton
called the attention of the cabinet to the fact
that Germany was. an unimportant factor In
our foreign market for cattle and beef.
"Great Britain last year Imported 392,941
head of American cattle , " said he , "while
Germany took 4,000. One American farmer
could supply the entire German market , of
which It Is said we have Just been deprived.
Then why this great scare7 The fact Is , that
75 per cent ot our American products , ex
ported nnd a market In Great Britain. Sec
retary Morton Intimated that there was no
great concern felt by the administration over
Germany's action ,

MADRID , Oct. 30. As a result of the cabi I-
net council held today the ministers have
tendered their resignations. Minister Sag-
asta has gone to Inform the queen-regent of
the action of the cabinet. It Is believed that
the crisis 111 be found to be difficult of solu
tion. Though the causes that have led to the
resignation ot the Spanish ministry cannot at
present be positively stated , it Is pretty safe
to assume that the crisis was precipitated
by colonial questions. The government re
cently arranged with the Bank of Spain for
and advance of 10,000,000 pesatas In Spanish
sliver dollars to replace the Mexican dollars
In the Porto Rico colony. This project was [ I
strenuously opposed by. Senor .Maura , the
colonial minister , but his colleagues persisted
In carrying out the arrangement and Senor
Maura resigned. This , however. was but one
of the serious differences In the cabinet on
the government's colcnl.il policy.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 30. Two Important
and dec slve Japanese victories are reported
by Minister DcnbIn n cableto the State de

the Chinese forces have been defeated at
Chln-Llen-Cheng nnd have retreated to Mouk-
den ; also ho reports that the Japanese have

The scene of the first engagement Is Just

try , nnd It marks the first real aggressive
movement by the Japanese qn Chinese soil ,
for it Is believed here that the movements
on the western side of the Yalu by the
Japanese ha\c been In the .nature of skir
mishes to develop the r al strength of the
Chinese forces. This having been done , the
Japanese are supposed to have formally en

was to receive ! that Rockcrfcller and Wet-
more > promised to lend to Merrltt on his con
solidated stock money at 40 cents on the
dollar at par value. All of these representa
tions and promises , plaintiff claims were fraud
ulent. Defendants at the time knew that each
ofow the companies controlled by flockerfelter
owed large amounts outside of their funded
debt , and that the Penoke company was at
tin time Insolvent ; that Instead of making
tin value of the Lake Superior Consolidated
company's stock worth 50 cents on the $1
as Rockefeller promised It would , nnd he
VS0
would publish It to the world , the stock of
these other mines caused Its value to de

proceeded to ransack the showcases and .
scoop the watches Into a gunny sack. The
door of the safe stood open , and the bandits
emptied the cash box , containing a consid

only a few moments , and the men soon made

NEW YORK. Oct. 30. The mystery
which surrounded the recent annual meet
ing ; oC Catholic arrhblshops nt Philadelphia
nnd the subsequent gathering- here Is still
unbroken. Hut from events subsequent to
the meeting , the conclusion 1s drawn that
nn Important step was taken toward the uni
fication oC thi ? IIIM clpal Ci th tic ccclcslnstl IB
in tha L'nUcd t > t .t . In the turn n. tion of a-
tagonlams which have arisen over M r.
Satolll's ' presence In this country nnd In
more complete support and loyalty to the
papal delegate In the future. Whether the
urchblehops tool ; formal action on the sub
ject la not known. Immediately after the
meeting Archbishop Corrlgan or New York
paid a visit to Mgr. Satolll at the hitter's
residence In Wahhlnston. The two ecclesi
astics { were together three hours and the
result Is believed to have boon ot n gratify
liu character to the abk'Biite ami arch
bishop. The liittor had been persistently
represented ns the head of a schism against
the < delecntc , nnd it 1ms even been nnserted
that : pamphlets opposingSatolll , Hied with
the ' Vatican , hail been Inspired by the arch
bishop's adherents. Many of these state
ments have been sensational nnd unjust , but
they served to foment trouble , which In
various parts of the country touk the form
ofSa outbreaks nunlnst the authority of Msr.
Satolll , It Is stated , however , that all these
differences are now adjusted nnd that
henceforth there will be the fullest recog
nition of tha ablesato's authority. This
recognition < , also , ufter the ineellnK of the
archbishops , is regarded at ) n direct result
ofCo the gathering. It Is said that Archbishop
Corrlgnn's ' call on Rlr. ( Satolll was not un
usual , as the former had called before , but
till proximity of the call to the adjournment
of the nrchblshopH U considered Hlgnlllcant.
Only one tillllng cause of Irritation re
mains , nnd that resulte from an article writ
ten by Bishop SpulillnK In the North Amer
ican Review , In which be attributed the
A.SH P. A , movement to the presence of Mgr.
Satolll In this country. It Is believed that
the ' blshoti ban inailo amends and cjcplann *
of misapprehension created by his
article , and that this matter has been
smoothed over , li > part nt least. The unity
of action toward Jt r. Satolll Is regarded ns
coming- opportunely before the pope's np-
prouchim ; encyclical enlarging the delef.ite's
authority. It Is said , also , that therecogni
tion of Afxr. Satolll's authority by the
American hierarchy was quite ns Important
nnd desirable as the confessing of the au
thority itsolf.
BALTIMORE , Oct. 30. Regarding the
visit of archbishops nt Philadelphia , Car
dinal Gibbons today said : "Nothing- the

Business men , as a rule , are very chary
about publicly committing themselves to any
given policy In a political contest , and thosa
Omaha wholesale and retail merchants who
signed the "business ' "
men's" manifesto- -
parted from n time-honored custom. Many
of them , however , are sorry now that they
did not follow the old , well-beaten path , by
attending strictly to business and allowing
others to talk politics ,
The Hood of protests from their customers
In the country has convinced the Jobbers ot
the city that they madea serious mistake
when they lent themselves to a scheme of '
the railroads nnd bankers. The question -4
with them now is how to undo the mlschlct
that has already been done. The manifesto
having been scattered over the whole state.
It Is Impossible to recall it now , and about nil
the Jobbers can do is. to withdraw froth the
fight as gracefully as possible. This la
what the great majority of them are doing.
U can bo said that the business men of
Omaha have pretty generally closed out their
"Business Men's association" department , and
are giving all their spare attention to appeas
ing the wrath of their customers.
The fact of the inalttr Is , however , that
very few of the business men who signed
the manifesto had any Idea that It was to
bo used ns a campaign document. The rep
resentative of a banker would take the paper
to a business man and gay , for example ,
"The president of .our bank tays that you are
not a populist , nnd he would like to have you
sign this as showing th.it you are opposed
to that party. " The bus.ness man ap
preached In that manner would put down
his name without thinking nny more about
the subject. Said one Jobber : "You must
not quote me , but the fact Is that being
a republican I did not hesitate to tlgn a ,
statement that my sympathies were not
with the populists , but the sollc tor had not
been out of my place fifteen minutes before
I came to my senses , and said to myself , 'old
man , this Is a political campaign , and you
have made n fool ot yourself In taking tides. '
Even then I did not have any Idea that a.
manifesto was to ho pr.nted and sent broad
cast over the country to our customers ot
opposite political opinions. "
HK IS BETWEEN TWO KIRKS
Said another Jobber : "When I signed th t
list of business men I never dreamed thtt
It was to bo used for the purpose of influ >
onclng voters In other towns. However , you
must not quote me , as I have friends in th
banks and the railroad offices who would
not take It kindly if I should attempt to-
squral out. I have already made cnetniea
enough among the populists , and if I was to
go back on my signature now I would make
enemies 0:1 both Udes. "
A good many of the business men seen ex
pressed the fame opinion as the one quoted
above. They are willing to admit that they
dd | an unwlso thing In signing the ( roll ot
business men , but they are afraid If they
were to coins out publicly and say so they
would .merely make n bad , matter worto by
'
adding torthclr'Ilsl ot ejiemles tha railroad *
and banks. ' -
"I signed the list , " said the head of a
largo wholesale house , "but , of course , I had
no Idea that It was to bo sent out over th
country , or I should have hesitated. How-
eve.we have not received any complaint
except from one of our customers. It li
evident , howeicr. that this action on th
part of the business men of the city la coins
to hurt business with the Omaha Jobbers , and
at a time , too , when the Jobbing business la
not In condition to Bland It verywell. . "
FIRMS THAT DID NOT SIGN.
In a great many cases business houses ara
represented on the list that never signed It
at all. Some one connected with the honsa
would sign his own name on his own re
sponsibility , but that name would bo printed
with the name of the house with which the
party was connected , and the Impression thus
conveyed that the house had signed the list ,
when In reality the house might bo opposed
to the causs advocated by the Business Mcn'a
association. Thus the list contains the nnmo
of Charles B. Hall of ICIrkendall. Jones Si
Co. Mr. Hall says that he signed the list as
gvlng his own Individual opinion , but that
the house of ICIrkemlull , Jones & Co. waa
not In politics and had never signed tholist. .
His houBo did nol believe In mixing business
and politics. He thinks that a Jobbing houas
with a good business has enough to do with
out taking part In politics.
In the same way the name of W. A. Paxton -
ton of Paxton & Onllaisher appears on the
list. The firm claims dint while Mr. Pnxtoa
Is a member of the firm , he has a good many
other Interests and Is a stockholder In other
business ventures which ho might bo said to
represent , The house of Paxton & Gallagher
denies that It Is In politics or that R la
doing anything to influence either Its cus
tomers or employes as to how they should
vote.

Mr , Smith , head of the Steele-Smlth Gro-
cury company , Bays that while one or two
parties connected with the house- signed the

never signed the inanftesto nor authorized
any of Its men to sign the firm name. The
firm name should never have appeared an ths
list.

Mr. McCord of the wholesale grocery houss
of McCord , Brady & Co. , says that the send
ing out Into the country of the list of Omaha
Jobbers who signed that manifesto Is hurting
trade badly and Is going to hurt It still
worse In this state. A good many letters are
coming In from the country protesting
against the action of the Omaha Jobbers. In
the case of McCord , Brady & Co. , not only
the heads of the firm , but a large number of
the employes signed , so that the firm name
appears several times on the list ,
J. Williams of the wholesale grocery hou&a
of Williams & Cross , Is another business
man who feels that ho was caught In a trap
when he was Induced to sign the bualnesa
men's manifesto , "They never told us , " said
Mr , Williams , "that they were going to usa
that list to send out into the country and
they had no right to do It. They secured
those signatures under what amounted to
Valso pretenses and have used them In a way
that Is well calculated to produce hard feelIng -
Ing In the country toward Omaha buslnwi
men , "

INSULT TO HONEST GERMANS
Efforts of the Majors & Managers to Lead Them to Vote for Tom.
HEWEET SCENTED SCHWENK AS A DECOY
Gently at the Ming of Hirelings with Religion
Recording No Acknowledgment
from Germany: After Nonunion Voters More Built-in Protest.
Although It Is asserted that in a speech
at O'Neill Tom Majors expressed the wish
that he could throw the keys of Castle Garden
Into the sea, for the reason that there
were already too many Germans, Swedes and
Bohemians in this country, his campaign
managers have from the very outset of the
campaign exerted every effort to capture the
German vote. They went to work on the
theory that any man who could speak or
write the German language must necessarily
work, who are willing enough to work for
Majors for the money there is in it. One of
the first things undertaken was the conversion
of all the German papers in the state
Into Majors' organs. Republican papers were
seduced into supporting the railroad candidate,
and where no German republican paper
existed, the democratic papers were purchased
outright. Der Omaha Tribüne, the Nebraska
Staats-Zeitung, the West Point Volksblatt, and
the Fremont paper have all been converted
Into active agents for the dissemination
of the fakes prepared by the literary
bureau for the Majors campaign. All the
sensational claptrap, canards, roostbacks,
misrepresentations, and falsehoods ground out
by the Jolson-Ansinas syndicate have been
laboriously translated Into German and forced
onto German renders in every part of the
state.
SCHWENK AT THIS BRAD.
The work of converting the honest German
citizens of Nebraska to the cause of Majorism
has been placed under the personal control of
the notorious Peter Schwenk, who,
appropriately enough, was Tom Majors' thick
partner in the effort to steal a seat in Congress
a number of years ago. Schwenk was
the go-between who carried the census certificate
to Washington, which was afterwards
altered by Majors with fraudulent intent.
Schwenk's connection with the forgery was
so notorious that the congressional committee
of which Tom Heard was chairman included
his name in the list of men recommended to the
United States district attorney for indictment.
Although engaged in many pieces of dirty work,
both before and since that time, Schwenk's
connection with the contingent congressman job
was undoubtedly the cleanest piece of work he
ever attempted. Through political influence,
Schwenk secured the appointment in the United
States land office at Norfolk, and his conduct
of that office was of such a scandalous character
that the land department in Washington
Instituted a rigid investigation, which ended in
his dismissal in disgrace. Schwenk is the right
man in the right place, for no better man to
perform the dirty work of the Majors campaign
could be found.
Closely allied with Schwenk is his old-time
associate, Jacob Hauck, a notorious political
fraud and sleight-of-hand worker, who
has shown his true character on many occasions.
Another man engaged by the Majors rule-or-ruin
crowd is the famous Max Adler, who
has been sent "over the state to make
speeches in the German settlements. Adler
has enjoyed a speckled career covering many
years. He was at one time an editorial
writer on a sectarian paper at Cleveland, O.,
and afterwards became associated with August
Spies on the Arbeiter-Zeitung, the anarchist
newspaper that did much toward inciting the
Haymarket riots, and which culminated in the
arrest of every man connected with the publication.
Spies was afterwards hanged for his
complicity in the anarchist plot, but the others
associated with him in the management of the
Arbeiter-Zeitung escaped trial.
The present editor of the Omaha Tribune,
who is now so active in the Majors cause,
is the defendant in a scandalous breach of
promise case filed in the district court of
Douglas county last Monday by a young
woman recently arrived in this country from
Germany. Thousands of copies of the Tribune
have been scattered broadcast over the state,
and it is stated upon good authority that
its publisher has received the munificent sum
of $200 from the republican state central
committee, together with the delinquent tax list.
These are the men who have been hired
to assist the tottering cause of the railroad
politicians who are endeavoring to foist Tom
Majors upon the people of the state. Their
efforts will be of little help. The German
population of Nebraska is not to be influenced
by campaign falsehoods circulated by
men of their character.
NO MILK NOR HONEY FOUND.
The most discouraging reports continue to
pour into the Majors headquarters from the
Interior part of the state. Yesterday nearly
fifteen of the workers who have been traveling
up and down Nebraska returned to headquarters,
and the news they brought only
served to increase the gloom that settled
down over the top story of the Millard hotel
early last week. One of the reports was
brought by a prominent republican, who was
for several years a leading member of the
state central committee. He was closely
identified with the inner circle of railroad
politics, and his judgment has always been
considered good. He informed the managers
of the Majors campaign that everything
pointed to Holcolm's election by a majority
of at least 10,000. He had visited the larger
towns in the Interior part of the state, as
well as many of the smaller ones in the
western and northern counties. He could find
no evidence anywhere that the republicans
were solidified in support of the entire
ticket, and he warned the managers that
they must not count upon any serious division
in the democratic ranks. He stated it as
his belief that more than 65 percent of the
democratic votes would be cast for Holcolm,
and he estimated the republican defection at
fully 10 percent.
Another report was received from a leading
republican, who is identified with the Union
Pacific Men's association. This gentleman informed
the committee that the republican
defection along the entire Platte River
was something almost beyond belief. In
many small towns, the republicans were outspoken
in their opposition to Majors. He
could bring nothing that could encourage the
committee.
LET THE LEGISLATURE GO.
It is an open secret that the men who
are running the campaign are willing to
sacrifice the legislative ticket wherever they
see an opportunity of securing a few votes
for the head of the republican ticket. This
fact has finally become impressed upon the
minds of some of the legislative candidates,
who are losing no time in denouncing
the treachery of the men who are bound to
elect Majors to the exclusion of every other
candidate on the republican ticket if necessary.
One of the republican candidates for
the senate from Douglas county makes an
open secret of his belief that Majors is dead
and his assertions that Holcomb is the winning
candidate are received with exceeding bad grace
by the Majors manipulators,
The leading candidates, together with some
of their chief supporters, held a conference
at the Millard hotel last night, and the meeting
was not in the nature of a love feast.
The republican candidates below the head of
the ticket are extremely provoked over the
fact that nothing is being said or done in
favor of any one but Majors. The claims of
the other candidates are studiously ignored
by the paid writers, who are filling the columns
of the B. & M. Journal with columns of
flatulent flattery for Tom Majors.
CODDLING UNORGANIZED LABOR.
In the meantime, the railroads are still pursuing
their direful tactics. Five Burlington engineers
have been kept on the beat
for the past two weeks urging the employees
of that company to vote for Majors
on the ground that he is a friend of non-union
labor. The Burlington engineers do not
belong to the brotherhood, and it is also a well-
known fact that the railroad company has
weeded out of its employ as many men
belonging to railway organizations as possible.
The Burlington's enmity toward the labor unions among the railway employees is well known, but its managers hope to secure the votes of the men not organized into unions and for this reason the five engineers have been sent out to pick up stragglers, who were not caught in the general order that all employees must vote for Majors or lose their positions. Another form of intimidation has been devised in order to drive republicans to the support of Majors. The campaign managers at last realize the seriousness of the republican defection from Majors and are taking steps to decrease it by resort to characteristic tactics. It is stated on good authority that they have in many counties secretly prepared lists of the names of men who are known to be against Majors. Between now and election day every effort will be made to bulldoze these independent republicans into voting for Majors. They will be threatened and coaxed by turns and every possible influence, fair or unfair, will be brought to bear upon them. The threat will not succeed. The republicans who are in the habit of voting for themselves have long since made up their minds to scratch Majors' name from the ticket, and they will not be frightened by the threats of the railroad crowd.
J. W. Johnson, the chief of the H. & M. literary bureau, makes no secret of the fact that he is giving his whole time to the preparation of campaign material to be printed in the columns of such newspapers that can be secured by purchase or otherwise. Johnson is secretary of the State Board of Transportation, and for nearly four years has drawn a salary of $2,000 per annum from the state treasury. He devotes his entire time to politics and his services to the state have never been of the slightest value. If the same railroad crowd is continued in power, Johnson will still retain the secretaryship of the board, and it is the knowledge of this fact that is driving republicans away from support of the ticket. He is not the only one who draws a large salary from the state and puts in his time doing political work. The state house has practically been depopulated since the campaign commenced, large numbers of clerks from the several departments having been transferred to Omaha in order to assist in the work of electing Majors. In the meantime, their salaries go right on at liberal rates. When the legislature convenes, the same crowd of clerks will be clamoring for increased salaries and continuance in their positions, and they will bring evidence to show that the state cannot possibly dispense with their services. The taxpayers may possibly conclude that if the state can spare so many of its employees from the state house to assist in a political campaign, it can very well spare them the year around.
SENTIMENT AT LAWRENCE.
The intensity of the unfavorable sentiment against Thomas J. Majors among the business men of the smaller towns of the state has been fully demonstrated in the present campaign. The manifesto sent out by the Omaha Business Men's association has aroused a feeling against Majors that is costing him hundreds of votes. The form of the Burlington czar is plainly observed back of the association, and this fact has been a powerful factor in the rapidly increasing opposition to Majors. The protests of the business men of several towns have already been printed. Another signed remonstrance comes from Lawrence in the shape of a series of resolutions, signed by twenty-two business men and firms. The resolutions are as follows:
To the Voters of Nebraska, Greeting! It is Resolved, that we, the undersigned business men and voters of Lawrence, Neb., do not have to bend the knee or uncover the head to the Business Men's association of Omaha. That we have a perfect right to vote as we see fit, and we think we know how to vote for our interest and the interest of the people of Nebraska. That we have not received any favors from the Business Men's association of Omaha or those comprising it, nor from any railroad that they may be working for, except such as we have paid for. That our families and business interests are as dear to us as theirs are to them. That we do not think it to our credit or our benefit to assist in putting a man at the head of our state government who was unable to give a correct enumeration of the state, or at least think he should be able to get within 50,000 or 100,000 of the number. That the state of Nebraska has been in the hands of the republican party for these many years, and we have been unable to see any perceptible decrease in the state taxes. That when the roll is called and the votes counted, the returns will show that the Business Men's association of Omaha didn't control all the votes of all the people of all the state of Nebraska.
Resolved, That we consider it an insult to the American manhood of Nebraska that the Business Men's association of Omaha should seek to influence their votes in favor of ring and corporate influence. Be it further Resolved, That we will stand up for Nebraska, but possibly not the way the Business Men's association of Omaha would have us.

THE ADVANCED WATCH. Utah Territory Proprietor-House in Salt Lake City.
The annual report of Governor West of Utah was published today. Much space is given to the difficulties growing out of the invasion of the territory by the Industrial army. The governor blames the Southern Pacific Railroad company for this invasion. After quoting a letter to C. P. Huntington, published at the time, protesting against the Southern Pacific dumping California industrials on the people of Utah, the report says; "It will be observed that the issue joined was whether the state of California, its authorities, state, county or municipal, could organize or encourage and aid the organization of its dependent paupers, criminals and idle, dissolute classes, and with the assistance and connivance of the Southern Pacific company crowd them into stock cars as if they were cattle, swine or sheep, without adequate clothing for protecting them from the severe inclemency of the early spring, without money, food, medical attendance or supplies, transport them beyond their borders through the state of Nevada to the end of their lines in Utah and dump them with impunity as charges and burdens on the latter; without liability on the part of the carrier or the party causing to be done. The expense imposed upon the territory and its citizens for the maintenance of Kelly and his men and incident thereto amounts in round figures to about $3,004. The county of Weber has already instituted an action against the Southern Pacific to recover the amount of its expenditure, and unless the territory is reimbursed for its outlay, an action on its behalf will be instituted against the company." Other points in the report are felicitations on the statehood act. The good effects to follow from the opening to settlement of the Uintah and Uncompagre reservations by congress are pointed out.
The governor recommends efforts be made to restore to the Mormon church the property which was escheated to the government, amounting to $2,500,000.
Speaking of the amnesty granted to political prisoners, the report says, "This prompt and very generous action of President Cleveland met with the hearty approval of all classes of our people and is especially appreciated by hundreds of our best citizens who were disfranchised and have since the issuance of the amnesty availed themselves of the very important duty of registering to vote at our approaching election."
All German ports are closed against the importation of American cattle, fearing the spread of Texas fever.
According to Secretary Morton, Berlin, Oct. 30. The prohibition against the landing of American cattle and American dressed meat announced by a decree of the Hamburg senate on Saturday last, exclusively cabled to the Associated Press, was extended today to every port of Germany.
Interviews which the correspondent of the Associated Press has had with the officials of the Interior department of the Prussian Husbandry department and the German Foreign office would seem to show that the prohibition is of a preventative nature and the action of individual German states. The Foreign office officials, for instance, state that the prohibition is "no affair of the empire," as the measures adopted are purely administrative and sanitary and that as such they belong to each German state. The empire as such, these officials add, has not taken any steps to prohibit the landing of American cattle or American meat.
The officials of the Interior department say that the importation of cattle from America suffering from Texas fever has been clearly proved, and that the measures taken are purely of a preventative nature, such as each German state is entitled to exercise through its police authority within its own territory.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. The announcement by the Associated Press that the embargo placed upon American cattle by the senate of Hamburg had been extended to the length of an exclusion of American cattle and dressed meat from every part of Germany was received with surprise by department officials today. That Texas fever was merely a ground which Germany could adopt for enforcing retaliatory measures against the United States because of the supposed discrimination against German interests in the sugar schedule of the tariff bill was the prevalent impression. The German ambassador, however, assured the secretary of state yesterday that the measure of exclusion was inspired by sanitary reasons and had no political motive behind it. Government officers are obligated to take this view of the case, since any other view might seem a reflection upon the ambassador.
Secretary Morton, who has just returned from a trip abroad, held a consultation with Secretary Gresham about the matter today, but the stringent measures just adopted were unknown. He assured Secretary Gresham that the exportation of Texas fever into Germany by American cattle was altogether improbable, if not impossible, according to the opinion of the experts of the department who have devoted much time to investigating the disease during the past year, and said he was confident the supposed discovery of Texas fever was a mistake. When the Associated Press dispatch from Berlin was shown to the secretary of agriculture, he expressed surprise. Exclusion of dressed meats he was at a loss to understand, because they are all inspected by competent government officials in this country before they are shipped. Texas fever, moreover, can be carried only by live cattle. The live cattle exported from this country are also inspected at the ports of shipment to see that they are not diseased. Secretary Morton said he had no doubt that the German officials intended to act in the interests of the public health in excluding American cattle, as the sanitary regulations of that country are unusually stringent upon all such matters. The secretary thinks the damage to be inflicted upon American interests by this action is greatly overestimated, as our exports of meat to Germany are comparatively light. From his observation on his recent trip, Secretary Morton is convinced that the exportation of live cattle cannot be made to pay as well as shipping dressed meats. The establishment of increased facilities for shipping meats in cold storage, he thinks, will greatly increase the American business.
Dr. D. E. Salmon, chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, said: "Admitting for the sake of argument that cattle which are killed in Germany are inflicted with the Texas fever, there is no longer danger to the German cattle, because in this country cattle with this disease do not communicate it to other animals. The disease is not communicated directly from one animal to others, but the animals in a certain district in the southern part of the United States are able to infect pastures and pens in which they happen to be placed within thirty days from the time they leave the infected districts. Animals which contract the disease obtain the infection from these pastures, not directly from other cattle.
Secretary Morton was at the cabinet meeting today for the first time since his return from Europe. The principal subject discussed was the recent action of the German government discriminating against American cattle and American beef. Secretary Morton called the attention of the cabinet to the fact that Germany was an unimportant factor in our foreign market for cattle and beef.
"Great Britain last year imported 392,941 head of American cattle," said he, "while Germany took 4,000. One American farmer could supply the entire German market, of which it is said we have just been deprived. Then why this great scare? The fact is, that 75 percent of our American products, exported and have a market in Great Britain. Secretary Morton intimated that there was no great concern felt by the administration over Germany's action.
SPANISH MINISTRY RESIGNS.
Differences Over Colonial Matters the Cause.
MADRID, Oct. 30. As a result of the cabinet council held today, the ministers have tendered their resignations. Minister Sagarsta has gone to inform the queen-regent of the action of the cabinet. It is believed that the crisis will be found to be difficult of solution. Though the causes that have led to the resignation of the Spanish ministry cannot at present be positively stated, it is pretty safe to assume that the crisis was precipitated by colonial questions. The government recently arranged with the Bank of Spain for an advance of 10,000,000 pesos in Spanish silver dollars to replace the Mexican dollars in the Puerto Rico colony. This project was strenuously opposed by Senor Maura, the colonial minister, but his colleagues persisted in carrying out the arrangement and Senor Maura resigned. This, however, was but one of the serious differences in the cabinet on the government's colonial policy.
Fires Reach Petroleum.
GIBRALTAR, Oct. 30. The Italian bark, Scutolo, Captain Starita, from Philadelphia on September 21 for Naples, has been boarded by pirates off Morro Nuevo, Africa, who plundered the vessel and escaped with 1,000 boxes of petroleum.
Militia Confronted with Upper House.
LONDON, Oct. 30. The Times has a dispatch from Brussels stating that the liberals have been victorious in the elections for members of the provincial councils. These courts will next elect the third portion of the Senate.
Tapped Petroleum in Russia.
LONDON, Oct. 30. A dispatch to the Chronicle from Odessa says that a new petroleum well has been tapped at Baku at a depth of seventy fathoms, which discharges 3,200 tons daily.
Under the Bridge in Berlin.
BERLIN, Oct. 30. The emperor and empress, accompanied by the members of their suites, attended the opera today and saw Mine. Nordenta in her first starring role as Elsa.
JAPANESE PUSHING STRONGLY INTO ASIA.
Chinese Hostilities Propelled by Poor Weapons and Lack of Training.
LONDON, Oct. 30. A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Chefoo says: the fleet of Japanese transports, protected by nineteen warships, has been seen landing troops on the mainland of the Hwang-Tung peninsula to the northward of Elliott's island.
The Times tomorrow will publish the following dispatch from Tien-Tsin: The greater part of the Chinese forces were destroyed before Ching-Ling-Cheng was evacuated. Gen. Hung's official report praises the valor of the troops, but confesses they were outmatched by the enemy's weapons and training. Colonel von Hancken, the German officer, who was formerly aide-de-camp of Li Hung Chang, and who rendered great service to the Chinese admiral at the great naval battles fought between the fleets of China and Japan, has been summoned to Peking by Imperial edict to consult with the government in regard to the military situation.
HIROSHIMA, Oct. 30. The Japanese forces which have been pursuing the Chinese north of the Yalu river captured at Atung twenty guns, many rifles and quantities of ammunition and provisions.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. Two important and decisive Japanese victories are reported by Minister Denbin in a cable to the State Department from Peking today. He says that the Chinese forces have been defeated at Chin-Ling-Cheng and have retreated to Mukden; also, he reports that the Japanese have taken one of the Chinese forts at Port Arthur.
The scene of the first engagement is just across the Yalu river in the Manchu country, and it marks the first real aggressive movement by the Japanese on Chinese soil, for it is believed here that the movements on the western side of the Yalu by the Japanese have been in the nature of skirmishes to develop the actual strength of the Chinese forces. This having been done, the Japanese are supposed to have formally entered upon the campaign with Mukden, the Manchurian capital, as the objective point.
MONTREAL, Oct. 30. Ex-Premier Mercier died at 9:10 this morning.
The family of the late ex-premier came to Canada from France. His father, J. B. E. Mercier, was a farmer at St. Athanasius. Here Honoré was born October 18, 1840. He was educated at the Jesuit college of St. Mary's at Montreal and was called to the bar of Quebec in 1867. From 1862 to 1884 he was the editor of Le Confière de St. Hyacinthe, a strong conservative sheet. When confederation was first discussed, he condemned the project and left the editorial chair of the Courier. From that moment he was ranked with the liberal party, and as such was elected to the Parliament House of Commons for Rouville in 1872. In 1873 he resigned his seat in the Commons. Four years later he contested St. Hyacinthe as a liberal candidate for the Quebec legislature. He was elected and subsequently called to the ministry as solicitor general in the Casgrain administration. The Casgrain government fell soon after; whereupon Mr. Mercier succeeded Mr. Casgrain as the leader of the local liberal party. In 1886 there was a revulsion of feeling among the French Canadians, due to the Northwest troubles which had resulted in the execution of Louis Riel. On this cry Mercier succeeded in carrying the province in the elections of 1887, upon which he was consecrated to form a ministry. Here, as the holding portfolio of attorney general, until December, 1891, when he was dismissed by the lieutenant governor of the province, as a result of an investigation by a royal commission on what became known as the "Scandal of the Bals des Chaleurs." In the ensuing elections, his party was annihilated, and although he himself was re-elected for the county of Bagot, since that time he has ceased to be a factor in Canadian politics.
"His condition is much worse today. There is a marked increase in his coughing and depictions of blood." The following official bulletin was issued at 10 o'clock this morning: "The general condition of the czar has been considerably worse. Last night the spitting of blood, which began yesterday with severe coughing, increased. Symptoms of congestion of the left lobe of the lungs have manifested themselves. His majesty's condition is one of danger." The bulletin is signed, as usual, by the physicians who are in attendance upon the czar.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. The extremely serious condition of the czar is shown by the following dispatch received today by Prince Cantacuzene, the Russian ambassador: "ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 30. The condition of the emperor is considerably worse since yesterday. The expectation of blood is increased by a strong cough. In the night, symptoms of partial inflammation of the left lung. Condition dangerous. OTHERS."
COPENHAGEN, Oct. 30. A telegram received here this evening states the czar was refreshed by obtaining a little sleep during the day. The phlegm that he expectorated was less bloody. Otherwise, his condition was unchanged.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 30. A bulletin from Livadia, timed 1 o'clock tonight, says that during the day the spitting of blood by the czar continued. He was sometimes seized with fits of shivers. His temperature was 100 degrees Fahrenheit and his pulse ninety. The respiration is difficult. He can take little nourishment and is becoming very weak. The edema has considerably increased.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 30. The annual meeting of the National Academy of Art and Science was held in North Sheffield Hall, Yale University, today. At the morning session, Prof. Hokers of Columbia University read a paper entitled "An Instrument for Experimental Determination of the Errors of Obscure Heat," and another "Determination of the Errors of the Cycle of an Electrotype Copy of Tycho Brahe's Altitude and Azimuth Instrument."
WAS WORKED FOR A SUCKER
At Least that is the Opinion Alfred Horseshoe Has of Himself,
SUES J. D. ROCKEFELLER FOR $1,226,400,
All the Trouble Caused About the Consolidation of the Various Iron Mining Properties into the Lake Superior Consolidated Company.
DULUTH, Oct. 30. Alfred Merritt today brought suit against J. D. Rockefeller and F. D. Gates, his private secretary, for $1,226,400, in which amount he claims he was damaged by what he alleges to be fraudulent representations in the forming of the Lake Superior Consolidated Iron mines. Plaintiff claims that at various times in August, 1893, in New York City, before he transferred his interests in various Iron mines and the Mesaba railroad, the defendants represented to him that the Penokee and Gogebic consolidated mines which, with others controlled by Rockefeller, was to be taken into the Lake Superior Consolidated Iron mines, was solvent and prosperous company, also the Spanish-American and the Aurora, that their stocks were well worth what Rockefeller was to receive; that Rockefeller and Wetmore promised to lend to Merritt on his consolidated stock money at 40 cents on the dollar at par value. All of these representations and promises, plaintiff claims were fraudulent. Defendants at the time knew that each of the companies controlled by Rockefeller owed large amounts outside of their funded debt, and that the Penokee company was at the time insolvent; that instead of making the value of the Lake Superior Consolidated company's stock worth 50 cents on the $1 as Rockefeller promised, it would, and he would publish it to the world, the stock of these other mines caused its value to decrease to 10 percent of $100.
When Merritt asked Rockefeller to keep his promise and to loan him money at the rate of 40 cents on the $1, and later at 25 cents, Rockefeller refused and would give only 10 cents on the $1. In organizing the Lake Superior Consolidated mines, the defendant, it is claimed, got the new company to take the following interests owned by him: Twenty-eight thousand three hundred and fifty shares Aurora Iron Mining company's stock, 65 shares Penokee & Gogebic consolidated mines, 21,626 shares Spanish American mines in Cuba, 300 collateral trust notes of $1,000 each of the Spanish American company, for which the Lake Superior company turned over first mortgage bonds exceeding $1,900,000. For a 1 percent stock interest in the Adams and Lone Jack mines, Rockefeller got consolidated first mortgage bonds worth over $1,700,000.
Rockefeller represented the interests which he transferred to be worth $1,130,154, as follows: Aurora stock, $203,088; Penokee & Gogebic, $579,000; trust notes of the same, $571,216; Spanish American stock, $822,358; Mortgage bonds of panic, $76,477; 7,001 shares Minnesota Steel Iron company's stock, $396,490.
The agreements showed that Rockefeller also controls the following stocks and securities of companies which he promised to try and get into the consideration: Seven hundred and twenty-eight shares West Superior Iron and Steel company, of par value of $72,600, and 640 first mortgage bonds of the same worth bringing his total interests which intended to transfer up to $4,361,919. Rockefeller claimed they cost him $2,719,154, and he was to receive consolidated bonds worth 3,010,860 for them at 90 cents. The separate agreements were entered into before the consolidation was finally effected. There will, it is said, be several more suits before the matter is ended. The capital at the consolidation was at first fixed at $3,000,000, but later increased to $30,000,000.
HOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY
Chicago, Oct. 30. A daring robbery was committed in the heart of the business district of the city today. The amount of plunder secured is not exactly known, but was given as $8,000 in watches and other jewelry. Soon after 2 o'clock O. W. Brethren, the senior member of the firm of Brethren & Co., wholesale Jewelers, 114 Washington street, left the office, leaving his son in charge. The office is in room 11 on the first floor of the building. It is located in the southwest corner and in plain view of the occupants of the office buildings round about. Young Brethren says he was bending over a showcase full of watches in the rear of the room when two men entered the door. One of them carried a revolver in his hand and the other was armed with a piece of lead pipe about two feet long. The jeweler was commanded to throw up his hands, which he was not slow in doing. The two men then ordered him into the vault, the door of which stood open. Brethren demurred, and one of the men, he says, caught him by the throat, thrust him into the vault and pushed the door shut. The thieves then proceeded to ransack the showcases and scoop the watches into a gunny sack. The door of the safe stood open, and the bandits emptied the cash box, containing a considerable sum of money. All this required only a few moments, and the men soon made their escape. The senior Brethren returned about 3:30, and on hearing a sound of pounding on the vault door, the vault door was hastily opened and the imprisoned man taken out, nearly exhausted. So far no trace of the thieves has been obtained.
SUGAR AGENT.
Philadelphia, Oct. 30. Sugar took another tumble in price today and surprised the Jobbers, who had concluded that it was already down to the bottom notch. It was regarded as a slap back by the refiners at the wholesale grocers, who had recently unloaded large quantities of sugar on the market below the refinery compact prices. Said a well-known Jobber: "The chances are that sugar will go still lower, notwithstanding the refineries are virtually closed."
The reduction extends on all grades of refined and averages % of a cent per pound. Hand Company omitted in the narrative.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 30. United States District Attorney Clinton today filed informations against Dennis P. Slattery, J. B. Johnson and W. H. Stevenson. The charge is that they used the mules for the purpose of a lottery by virtue of their connection with the Guarantee Investing Company of Nevada, Mo. Messrs. Slattery, Johnson and Stevenson put up the $50,000 required by statute as a trust fund in the state treasury and contend that their connection with it ended at that point. The government contends that they hold nineteen of the twenty-one shares of stock in the company and exercise a general supervision.

The Twine of Mining Down,
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 30. A rumor has been in circulation among local millers that the northwestern millers had arranged a plan where the total flour output of the combined flour mills of this country shall be curtailed. By this means it is hoped to materially improve the general market. Millers in St. Louis have received a circular signed by the Northwestern Millers asking their views as to the advisability of shutting down all mills from December 10 to January 8. So far as could be learned, local millers are not favorably disposed toward the scheme.

DULUTH, Oct. 30. Alfred Merritt today brought suit against J. D. Rockefeller and F. D. Gates, his private secretary, for $1,226,400, in which amount he claims he was damaged by what he alleges to be fraudulent representations in the forming of the Lake Superior Consolidated Iron mines. Plaintiff claims that at various times in August, 1893, in New York City, before he transferred his interests in various Iron mines and the Mesaba railroad, the defendants represented to him that the Penokee and Gogebic consolidated mines which, with others controlled by Rockefeller, was to be taken into the Lake Superior Consolidated Iron mines, was solvent and prosperous company, also the Spanish-American and the Aurora, that their stocks were well worth what Rockefeller was to receive; that Rockefeller and Wetmore promised to lend to Merritt on his consolidated stock money at 40 cents on the dollar at par value. All of these representations and promises, plaintiff claims were fraudulent. Defendants at the time knew that each of the companies controlled by Rockefeller owed large amounts outside of their funded debt, and that the Penokee company was at the time insolvent; that instead of making the value of the Lake Superior Consolidated company's stock worth 50 cents on the $1 as Rockefeller promised, it would, and he would publish it to the world, the stock of these other mines caused its value to decrease to 10 percent of $100.
When Merritt asked Rockefeller to keep his promise and to loan him money at the rate of 40 cents on the $1, and later at 25 cents, Rockefeller refused and would give only 10 cents on the $1. In organizing the Lake Superior Consolidated mines, the defendant, it is claimed, got the new company to take the following interests owned by him: Twenty-eight thousand three hundred and fifty shares Aurora Iron Mining company's stock, 65 shares Penokee & Gogebic consolidated mines, 21,626 shares Spanish American mines in Cuba, 300 collateral trust notes of $1,000 each of the Spanish American company, for which the Lake Superior company turned over first mortgage bonds exceeding $1,900,000. For a 1 percent stock interest in the Adams and Lone Jack mines, Rockefeller got consolidated first mortgage bonds worth over $1,700,000.
Rockefeller represented the interests which he transferred to be worth $1,130,154, as follows: Aurora stock, $203,088; Penokee & Gogebic, $579,000; trust notes of the same, $571,216; Spanish American stock, $822,358; Mortgage bonds of panic, $76,477; 7,001 shares Minnesota Steel Iron company's stock, $396,490.
The agreements showed that Rockefeller also controls the following stocks and securities of companies which he promised to try and get into the consideration: Seven hundred and twenty-eight shares West Superior Iron and Steel company, of par value of $72,600, and 640 first mortgage bonds of the same worth bringing his total interests which intended to transfer up to $4,361,919. Rockefeller claimed they cost him $2,719,154, and he was to receive consolidated bonds worth 3,010,860 for them at 90 cents. The separate agreements were entered into before the consolidation was finally effected. There will, it is said, be several more suits before the matter is ended. The capital at the consolidation was at first fixed at $3,000,000, but later increased to $30,000,000.
HOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY
Chicago, Oct. 30. A daring robbery was committed in the heart of the business district of the city today. The amount of plunder secured is not exactly known, but was given as $8,000 in watches and other jewelry. Soon after 2 o'clock O. W. Brethren, the senior member of the firm of Brethren & Co., wholesale Jewelers, 114 Washington street, left the office, leaving his son in charge. The office is in room 11 on the first floor of the building. It is located in the southwest corner and in plain view of the occupants of the office buildings round about. Young Brethren says he was bending over a showcase full of watches in the rear of the room when two men entered the door. One of them carried a revolver in his hand and the other was armed with a piece of lead pipe about two feet long. The jeweler was commanded to throw up his hands, which he was not slow in doing. The two men then ordered him into the vault, the door of which stood open. Brethren demurred, and one of the men, he says, caught him by the throat, thrust him into the vault and pushed the door shut. The thieves then proceeded to ransack the showcases and scoop the watches into a gunny sack.

Under Indication of the Difference, It's the Meeting of Catholic Archbishops at Philadelphia and the subsequent gathering here is still unbroken. But from events subsequent to the meeting, the conclusion is drawn that an important step was taken toward the unification of this high clergy concerning the consecration of bishops in the United States. In the turn of antagonisms which have arisen over Mr. Satolli's presence in this country and in more complete support and loyalty to the papal delegate in the future. Whether the archbishops took formal action on the subject is not known. Immediately after the meeting, Archbishop Corrigan of New York paid a visit to Mgr. Satolli at the latter's residence in Washington. The two ecclesiastics were together three hours and the result is believed to have been of a gratifying character to the archbishop and the cardinal. The latter had been persistently represented as the head of a schism against the delegate, and it has even been asserted that pamphlets opposing Satolli, filed with the Vatican, had been inspired by the archbishop's adherents. Many of these statements have been sensational and unjust, but they served to foment trouble, which in various parts of the country took the form of outbreaks against the authority of Mgr. Satolli. It is stated, however, that all these differences are now adjusted and that henceforth there will be the fullest recognition of the ablegate's authority. This recognition, also, after the meeting of the archbishops, is regarded as a direct result. It is said that Archbishop Corrigan's call on Mr. Satolli was not unusual, as the former had called before, but the proximity of the call to the adjournment of the archbishops is considered significant. Only one remaining cause of irritation remains, and that resulted from an article written by Bishop Spaulding in the North American Review, in which he attributed the A.S.H.P.A. movement to the presence of Mgr. Satolli in this country. It is believed that the bishops have made amends and explained away the misunderstandings created by his article, and that this matter has been smoothed over, at least in part. The unity of action toward Mr. Satolli is regarded as coming opportunely before the pope's approaching encyclical enlarging the delegate's authority. It is said, also, that the recognition of Mgr. Satolli's authority by the American hierarchy was quite as important and desirable as the confession of the authority itself.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 30. Regarding the visit of archbishops at Philadelphia, Cardinal Gibbons today said: "Nothing of the character referred to in the dispatches touching Mr. Satolli's differences with others transpired. As to the other matters mentioned, the whole thing is guesswork to which no importance need be attached."
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Mr. Satolli was seen at his residence concerning New York dispatch to the effect that Archbishop Corrigan had recently called on him, and that there was unity of action within the church in loyalty to the delegate. He said the archbishop had called on him about two weeks ago, soon after the meeting of the archbishops, and a conversation lasting several hours had been held. The ablegate would not discuss the nature of the conference or the reported unity resulting.
CONCLUSION OF THE TRIAL OF THE INDIAN WHO KILLED MULTIPLE PEOPLE.
DEADWOOD, Oct. 30. (Special Telegram.) The trial of Two Sticks, charged with murder, was concluded today, the jury bringing in a verdict of murder as charged in the indictment. On February 2, 1833, two cowboys in the employ of Humphrey & Stenger, beef contractors, were in camp on White River. Two Sticks, Two Two, White Face Horse, Feathers With, and First Eagle came to the camp visiting, and at a given signal commenced firing on the cowboys and killed them all. No one was there to see the deed, but circumstantial evidence was very strong. Two Two and White Face Horse testified against Two Sticks after pleading guilty to manslaughter for complicity in the murder. Evidence of Mrs. Fat Woman was strongly against Two Sticks, she claiming that he told her he had "pumped it into one of the cowboys." This witness was his daughter-in-law and gave her evidence in great personal fear. Two Sticks, on the stand, denied that he was at the camp or that he had ever seen the cowboys. Judge Bundy will sentence him tomorrow. During the evidence of Fat Woman, the defendant, Two Sticks, frequently looked at her and at the conclusion made a dramatic show of being sick.
INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT MOHAN RAIL.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D., Oct. 30.-Special.-The United States is plaintiff in a case now before the United States court here and A.J. Kyes of Yankton and his bondsmen, B.F. Morse and J.R. Stearns of Yankton, are defendants. It seems that Kyes was under contract with the United States to furnish grain for Fort Sill in Indian Territory and Fort Laramie and Fort Hiley in Kansas for the year beginning July 1, 1870. He was to furnish 3,200 tons of corn and 2,110,030 pounds of oats at a stipulated price. A severe drought prevented Mr. Kyes from performing his contract, and the United States sent its agents out and purchased enough grain to make up what Kyes couldn't supply. Now the United States is trying to recover $23,123.18, the difference between the contract price agreed upon with Kyes and what his agents had to pay. The plaintiff also asks for 6 percent interest upon this amount from July 1, 1870, to the present time.

NO NEWS TO THE MURDER CASE OF THE FRENCH WOMAN IN DENVER.
DENVER, Oct. 30. The evidence in the case of Mary Contassol, the French woman who was found apparently strangled to death early Sunday morning, leaves her death still a mystery. The coroner's jury can only decide whether she was murdered or committed suicide. It is said, that here is a secret society on Market Street known as the Macquerelle, composed of Frenchmen, who bring women from France, they agreeing to pay a percentage to the society. It is also said that the Macquerelles have banded themselves under the high-sounding name of "Le Chevaliers d'Amour." The police believe this organization is responsible for the death of Lina Tapper, who was strangled in nearly the same way as Mary Contassol. In the same vicinity, a short time ago. Recently a woman came to the chief of police and asked to be protected against a lot of Frenchmen, who were trying to drive her from the city. She said that members of the Macquerelle were trying to persecute her because she refused to join their organization.
CHICAGO. Oct. 30. The local bakers say there is no immediate prospect of the Chicago consumer getting his bread at a reduced rate this, in spite of the fact of 60-cent wheat and a consequent decline in the price of flour. The Chicago makers of bread are, as a rule, skeptical in regard to the reports of reduced prices in Washington and larger loaves for the old price in New York. There are some who say that if there have been reductions in those cities they have been due to competition, and not to any cheapening of materials.
"Flour will have to go down to a much lower price before bakers can afford to reduce the price of bread," said a leading baker this morning. "A bakery war is the only thing which could bring about a reduction in prices, and there is in nothing else in local conditions which would large enough to bring about such a condition."
Names of Omaha Firms Secured for the "Business Men's Association List," HAVE NO POLITICAL FIGHT TO MAKE. Businessmen, as a rule, are very chary about publicly committing themselves to any given policy in a political contest, and those Omaha wholesale and retail merchants who signed the "business men's" manifesto have parted from a time-honored custom. Many of them, however, are sorry now that they did not follow the old, well-beaten path, by attending strictly to business and allowing others to talk politics.
The flood of protests from their customers in the country has convinced the Jobbers of the city that they made a serious mistake when they lent themselves to a scheme of the railroads and bankers. The question with them now is how to undo the mischief that has already been done. The manifesto having been scattered over the whole state, it is impossible to recall it now, and about all the Jobbers can do is to withdraw from the fight as gracefully as possible. This is what the great majority of them are doing.
It can be said that the business men of Omaha have pretty generally closed out their "Business Men's association" department, and are giving all their spare attention to appeasing the wrath of their customers.
The fact of the matter is, however, that very few of the business men who signed the manifesto had any idea that it was to be used as a campaign document. The representative of a banker would take the paper to a business man and say, for example, "The president of our bank says that you are not a populist, and he would like to have you sign this as showing that you are opposed to that party." The business man, apprached in that manner, would put down his name without thinking any more about the subject. Said one Jobber: "You must not quote me, but the fact is that being a Republican, I did not hesitate to sign a statement that my sympathies were not with the populists, but the solicitor had not been out of my place fifteen minutes before I came to my senses, and said to myself, 'old man, this is a political campaign, and you have made a fool of yourself in taking sides.' Even then, I did not have any idea that a manifesto was to be printed and sent broadcast over the country to our customers of opposite political opinions."
It is BETWEEN TWO FIRES
Said another Jobber: "When I signed that list of business men, I never dreamed that it was to be used for the purpose of influencing voters in other towns. However, you must not quote me, as I have friends in the banks and the railroad offices who would not take it kindly if I should attempt to squelch out. I have already made enemies enough among the populists, and if I were to go back on my signature now, I would make enemies on both sides."
A good many of the business men seen expressed the same opinion as the one quoted above. They are willing to admit that they did an unwarranted thing in signing the list of business men, but they are afraid if they were to come out publicly and say so they would merely make a bad matter worse by adding to the list of examples that the railroads and banks.
"I signed the list," said the head of a large wholesale house, "but, of course, I had no idea that it was to be sent out over the country, or I should have hesitated. However, we have not received any complaint except from one of our customers. It is evident, however, that this action on the part of the business men of the city is going to hurt business with the Omaha Jobbers, and at a time, too, when the Jobbing business is not in condition to stand it very well."
FIRMS THAT DID NOT SIGN.
In a great many cases, business houses are represented on the list that never signed it at all. Some one connected with the house would sign his own name on his own responsibility, but that name would be printed with the name of the house with which the party was connected, and the impression thus conveyed that the house had signed the list, when in reality the house might be opposed to the cause advocated by the Business Men's association. Thus, the list contains the name of Charles B. Hall of Clarkendall, Jones & Co. Mr. Hall says that he signed the list as giving his own individual opinion, but that the house of Clarkendall, Jones & Co. was not in politics and had never signed the list. His house did not believe in mixing business and politics. He thinks that a Jobbing house with a good business has enough to do without taking part in politics.
In the same way, the name of W. A. Paxton of Paxton & Gallagher appears on the list. The firm claims denial while Mr. Paxton is a member of the firm, he has a good many other interests and is a stockholder in other business ventures which he might be said to represent. The house of Paxton & Gallagher denies that it is in politics or that it is doing anything to influence either its customers or employees as to how they should vote.
Mr. Smith, head of the Steele-Smith Grocery company, says that while one or two parties connected with the house signed the list on their own responsibility, his firm has never signed the manifestos nor authorized any of its men to sign the firm name. The firm name should never have appeared on the list.
Mr. McCord of the wholesale grocery house of McCord, Brady & Co., says that the sending out into the country of the list of Omaha Jobbers who signed that manifesto is hurting trade badly and is going to hurt it still worse in this state. A good many letters are coming in from the country protesting against the action of the Omaha Jobbers. In the case of McCord, Brady & Co., not only the heads of the firm, but a large number of the employees signed, so that the firm name appears several times on the list.
J. Williams of the wholesale grocery house of Williams & Cross, is another business man who feels that he was caught in a trap when he was induced to sign the business men's manifesto. "They never told us," said Mr. Williams, "that they were going to use that list to send out into the country, and they had no right to do it. They secured those signatures under what amounted to false pretenses and have used them in a way that is well calculated to produce hard feelings in the country toward Omaha businessmen."
H. Hardy of the firm of Hardy & Co., Jobbers of household goods and toys, says that his house is not in politics, but is giving entire attention to business.
NO QUARREL WITH POPULISTS,
Another name on the list is that of J. Ghastlin, manager of the firm of Fairham & Smeltzer, produce dealers in Milwaukee. Mr. Ghastlin is a newcomer to the state and signed the list at the request of his banker. Mr. Ghastlin says that he has hardly been in the state long enough to understand the situation here, but that he signed the list with the idea simply of favoring his own party and not with any intention of going into the campaign to fight the populists or anyone else. In fact, he has no quarrel with the populists. Though he had seen a good deal of them in Kansas, and though there was a good deal of talk about how they would upset things, he did not know of their having passed any very harsh laws.
Mr. Wohler of the firm of Icken & Wohler signed what he says is a statement to the effect that he was opposed to populist rule in the state. He says that he did not hesitate about signing the list, as he took it to be only a statement of which party he favored. He did not have any idea that his name would be published or that he would be getting his firm into a political fight. He does not believe in a business house going into politics, and if he had had any idea that the paper was to be used as a campaign document, he would never have signed it.

fore , will occur whenever a need for such
arUea , although there will be two stated
meetings n year.
At yesterday's meeting tlio following offi
cers were elected : President , John HS. .

No action was taken In regard to the
threatened advance In the rates on packing
house products , which matter will bo Ais- '
cuszed In Chicago next Thursday by a. com
mit too of western trunk lines. It U pro-
poaeJ to let each city work out the question

Chairman C. J. Smyth of the democratic
state central committee has Issued an ad
dress to the voters of hU party , placing In
a plain light the situation in which demo
crats of Nebraska find themselves. In
straightforward , slmplo oentences Mr. Smyth
lias gene to the truth of the matter. He
appsals to the patriotism ot the rank and
nie of ilib party , dispassionately giving the
facts of party hUlorr as regards Its last two
state conventions , and contrasting the con
duct of the alleged "straight democrats" of
1SD3 at Lincoln with their course at Omaha
In 1834. He goes further , and makes plain
the animus of the bolt , ripping the cloak of
democracy oft the bolters and holding them
forth In their true light as tools of the IJ. &
M. oligarchs' . As did Bruca at Uannock-
burn , so does Mr. Smyth now present the
Issues , and warn his hearers , "Now's the day.
and now's the hour. " The lull text ot the
address follows :
To Ihe Democrats of . . .
men-We arc rapidly upprpao hlmt the most
momentous election over Held ' " 'l ' |
of Neurn Kn. Your pait in that election
will be pre-eminently Imiwrtant. . .V'1,1"1 '

( man the. voters of tlie state Lv n few
men masking as democrats. ! rein their
fSCB I wlsli to tear the musU and then ask
you to contemplate them In the sunlight " '
truth. LooK , upon this picture :
One yrar ace a democratic state conven
tion was held at Lincoln. These men who
me now claiming to be "straight" demo
crats controlled thnt convention. How did
they procure contr.l ? lly pluylug upon the
fears and hopes of would-be postmasters ,
isy misrepresentation and stealth they stole
the majority of that convention while the
pedple slept. The questions which the con
vention assumed to pass upon and did pans
upon had not been previously called to the
attention of the democratic voters of the
state. Hut tlmt mattered not ; they had
control of the convention and they decided
those questions without leference to the
wishes of the src.it body of democratic
voters. They kicked justice out of the hal
nnd enthroned unreasoning tyranny. They
heiipcd upon Hon.W. . J. Hryan and Ills
friends every Indignity which they could
conceive. Uld air. llirnn and his friends
boll ? No ; they recognized In that conven-
llon the power to bind cv ry man who par
ticipated In Its deliberallon-the power to
Rpcak and bind the democracy of the state
and true democrats as he nnd they were
they submitted to iho decision rendered , at
the sumo time declaring that they did not
believe that it truly reprwietited the wishes ,
of the people , nnd that they would appea
from that decision to the democracy of UK
state and ask to have tlie decision rcvereei
by the next stale convention. True to theli
declaration's"an'd'ln eiyilonsVthey did appe
to Hie democracy of Nebraska. On the 2ls'
of June last they declared that it was the i
Intention to place In the next democratlL
state platform the plunk declaring in
favor of the free and unlimited colnane o
silver tit the ratio of lii to 1 , and they asliei
the democracy of the .state to aid them in
carrying out their purpose , and asked fo
the decision ot the democrats of the state
Wlillc this dlncusslon'was progressing , am
while It. .sewed that ! Mr. Hryan ami hi
friends "woulJ trlumphtby an overwhelming
vote , thoso. . who. are now masking-
straight democrats injected another IHSU
into the campaign , anil that was whether o
not thD-xiemocrntfe of Nebraska would en
dorse Judge Holcomb for Rovernor. Side by
sldu with tht > silver'Issue was fought the
"issue of endorsement. Kalrly and openly
both issues were discussed.
THEN LOOK UPON THIS.
The state convention , convened by th
regularly constituted democratic state cen
tral committee , was called to order by th
chairman of the state central committee
and was temporarily organized under hi
direction. The men who now claim to b
"straight" democrats participated in tha
organization. Subsequantly the conventlo
was permanently organized , and In that 01
ganlzntlon those who now pretend to b
"straight" democrats participated. Accorc
Ing to every usage of party oignnlzatlon
according to every rule of law governln
voluntary associations , that convention , th
moment It was permanently organized , pof
the power lo decide what was. a
wns not , democratic In the state of N
brnska , and ever/ man refusing lo accept Its
decision upon those questions ceased by his
refusal to be a democrat. How la a demo
crat to bo determined from a republican ?
IJy ascertaining whether or not hu accepts
and supports tlie decision of hlH state con
vention. It Is In that way that we deter
mine who Is a Tepublloin , it Is In that way
that we determine who Is n populist , and
there | 9 no other way under the sun to de
termine that question.
This convention proceeded with Its busi
ness , adopted a platform , selected Hon. W.
J. Uryan as Its candidate for United States
senator , selected the state central commit
tee ami the chairman thereof , nnd selected
Silas Holcomb utt Its candidate for governor.
Until Judge Holcomb was nominated the.ie
so-called straight democrats continued 'to
participate In every action of the convention
and were therefore In honor bound by Its
every action , whether It was la their favorer
or against it. They were bound , therefore ,
to accept the platform oa the democratic
platform ; to accept the nomination of W.
J. Hryan ns the regu'ar democratic nominee ;
to accept the state central committee and
Its chairman as the democratic state cen
tral committee , nnd to accent Judge Hol
comb aa the democratlo candidate for gov-
ernor.
What did they do ? The convention was
composed of KG delegates. About thirty-six
of them left the convention ns soon as >
Judge Holcomb was nominated and pro
ceeded to another place , where they pre
tended to " e11
organize a "democratic conven
tion. " In " " 11r
this latter "convention" men par
ticipated who had not been commissioned ry
the democrats of the state to speak for
them. Over that
convention a gentleman
presided who had been repudiated In hia
own ward by nearly 2 to 1. The entire con j
vention consisted of about fifty-six men. If
every one of them had been elected dele .
gates they would not have represented
more than one-tenth of the entire conven a
tion. Are you willing to accept their deci : l-
sion , or will you accept the dpclslon of the
rightly constituted democratic state con
vention ?
nIe
thirtng the session ot the democratic state
convention the general manager , the gen
eral ticket agent and thu rlght-of-way man
of the 13. & M. railroad sat In a room In
the I'axton hotel directing the movements :
of the so-called "straight"
democrats. Kvcry
scheme was resorted to , every promise made
to prevent the democratic state convention
from nominating Mr.
Holcomb and his as
sociates. The contest was between the rail
roads of the state on the one hand nnd IIho
pooplfr on the other. The railroads lost. The
people triumphed. Hence those tears.

THE IRON BANK | House of Sterling & Howe has just returned from a trip out into the state and reports that there is a good deal of feeling against the forms that signed the manifesto. He says that country merchants appear to be in favor of Holcomb for governor and they resent what they term the uncalled-for interferences of Omaha business men with the voters of the state. Some of the merchants upon whom he called even went so far as to threaten to boycott his house for having signed the list of the Business Men's Association.
Mr. Bream.
The republicans of this county have nominated Mr. Joseph Crow for the lower house of the legislature. Mr. Crow was born in Greencastle, in 1856; graduated at DePauw university in 1870, and was admitted to the bar in 1877; was city attorney of Greencastle for three terms, from 1881 to 1886, and never lost a case. In the latter year he resigned, and the city council, on March 12, by an aye and nay vote, gave Mr. Crow a strong endorsement, asking him to name his successor, which he did. Mr. Crow carried with him to Kansas a letter from Governor Albert G. Porter of Indiana, dated October 20, 1885, to Governor Martin of Kansas, in which Mr. Crow was endorsed as a young man of unblemished character.
One of Mr. Crow's old-time friends is John Clark Ridpath, the historian, who gave Mr. Crow a letter dated March 18, 1886, containing the following language: "Mr. Crow is held in almost universal confidence and esteem. His duties as a public official have always been performed with fidelity and zeal." Bishop Thomas Bowman of the Methodist Episcopal church writes: "I have known Mr. Crow from childhood. He belongs to a good family; is honest, reliable, and capable. Any favor granted him will be worthily bestowed."
Election I (implication)
Judge Ferguson, upon the application of R. B. Thomas, James Hannigan and H. Q. Bell, has cited County Clerk Sackett to appear in his court at 9:39 a.m. today to show cause why he should not refuse and refrain from placing the names of Charles Johnson, Michael Nelson, August Payne and Avery A. Perry upon the official ballots to be voted at the coming election. The parties named were populist candidates for the legislature, but withdrew from the race. The same order applies to George V. Witten, the populist candidate for county attorney, who was nominated by petition.
The entire morning session of Judge Ferguson's court was devoted to hearing law and evidence upon the question of whether George L. Dare's name or that of C. M. Hunt should go upon the regular tickets as democratic candidates for the Legislature; Hunt resigned and refused to run, after which the democratic central committee asked County Clerk Sackett that the name of Dare be put upon the tickets as the regular nominee and candidate, while by others it was held that the resignation of Hunt was not regular. At the afternoon session of court, Judge Ferguson held that the county clerk should place the name of Dare upon the ticket, omitting that of Hunt.
Candidates for the Council.
City Clerk Evans heard evidence yesterday afternoon on the protests filed against the placing of the names of Independent candidates for city offices on the sample ballots. Cadet Taylor has filed a protest against the candidacy of C. J. Westerdahl as an Independent republican candidate from the Eighth ward.
The case next on trial was that of Wenzel Wolenshensky, who is an Independent candidate from the First ward. The resistance was signed by Owen Slavkin and others, who asserted that Wolenshensky's petition is defective in that one of the twenty-one names is that of a non-resident, while another is forged, also that the addresses and occupations of the signers are not given. Attorney Schechan appeared for Slavkin, while V. O. Strickler was present in the interests of Wolenshensky.
After hearing both attorneys at length, Judge Evans decided that the Wolenshensky petition was irregular and sustained the protest. In the Westerdahl case, the protest was overruled.

MISSOURI BICENTENNIAL PACKAGES,
Association United in Omaha Yesterday for Object in Common.
Representatives from the packing houses of St. Joseph, Kansas City, Nebraska City, Omaha, and Sioux City met in the Commercial club rooms yesterday and organized the Missouri River Packers' association. The object of the association is to consider questions that interest all the packers alike, but not questions that would affect only one or two. Heretofore, when any general matter came up, it was necessary to correspond with each packer, and by the time a line of action was laid out, the necessity, in many instances, had passed.
The new association is designed to do away with this inconvenience. Its meetings, therefore, will occur whenever a need for such arises, although there will be two stated meetings a year.
At yesterday's meeting, the following officers were elected: President, John H. S. Knox of Omaha; secretary, E. E. Machette of Kansas City; treasurer, W. H. Maxwell of St. Joseph.
Provision was made for an executive committee of five, one from each of the packing centers in the association, but the members have not as yet been named.
No action was taken in regard to the threatened advance in the rates on packing house products, which matter will be considered in Chicago next Thursday by a committee of western trunk lines. It is proposed to let each city work out the question for itself.

DICTIONARY DEPARTMENT THEIR MANHOOD IS AT STAKE Democrats of Nebraska Have a Grave Responsibility in the Dominating Election, ETERNAL PRINCIPLES BROUGHT IN ISSUE Binding a majority of the Twenty Control Its or Might in Army Situation How In United Nebraska to Appoint Supreme Chairman C. J. Smyth of the democratic state central committee has Issued an address to the voters of his party, placing in a plain light the situation in which democrats of Nebraska find themselves. In straightforward, simple sentences Mr. Smyth has gone to the truth of the matter. He appeals to the patriotism of the rank and file of his party, dispassionately giving the facts of party history as regards its last two state conventions, and contrasting the conduct of the alleged "straight democrats" of 1883 at Lincoln with their course at Omaha in 1884. He goes further, and makes plain the animus of the bolt, ripping the cloak of democracy off the bolters and holding them forth in their true light as tools of the B. & M. oligarchs. As did Bruce at Hannibal, so does Mr. Smyth now present the issues, and warns his hearers, "Now's the day, and now's the hour." The full text of the address follows:
To The Democrats of . . .
men-We are rapidly approaching that most momentous election over which our notion will depend the result - will depend whether or not the most corrupt; that has ever inflicted the commonwealth shall continue to rule our public affairs, or whether the people shall be restored to the control of the government of this state. Need I ask upon which side you desire to stand? True democracy is always righteous - democracy is always just. I address you not to incline where you shall stand on election day, but to point out the deceit now being practiced upon the voters of the state by a few men masking as democrats. I wish to tear the mask and then ask you to contemplate them in the sunlight of truth. Look upon this picture:
One year ago a democratic state convention was held at Lincoln. These men who now claim to be "straight" democrats controlled that convention. How did they procure control? By playing upon the fears and hopes of would-be postmasters, by misrepresentation and stealth they stole the majority of that convention while the people slept. The questions which the convention assumed to pass upon and did pass upon had not been previously called to the attention of the democratic voters of the state. But that mattered not; they had control of the convention and they decided those questions without reference to the wishes of the great body of democratic voters. They kicked justice out of the hall and enthroned unreasoning tyranny. They heaped upon Hon. W. J. Bryan and his friends every indignity which they could conceive. Did they air. Bryan and his friends bolt? No; they recognized in that convention the power to bind every man who participated in its deliberations - the power to speak and bind the democracy of the state and true democrats as he and they were, they submitted to the decision rendered, at the same time declaring that they did not believe that it truly represented the wishes of the people, and that they would appeal from that decision to the democracy of the state and ask to have the decision reversed by the next state convention. True to their declarations, they did appeal to the democracy of Nebraska. On the 21st of June last they declared that it was their intention to place in the next democratic state platform the plank declaring in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and they asked for the decision of the democrats of the state while this discussion was progressing, and while it seemed that Mr. Bryan and his friends would triumph by an overwhelming vote, those who are now masking as "straight" democrats injected another issue into the campaign, and that was whether or not the democracy of Nebraska would endorse Judge Holcomb for Governor. Side by side with the silver issue was fought the issue of endorsement. Early and openly both issues were discussed.
THEN LOOK UPON THIS.
The state convention, convened by the regularly constituted democratic state central committee, was called to order by the chairman of the state central committee and was temporarily organized under his direction. The men who now claim to be "straight" democrats participated in the organization. Subsequently the convention was permanently organized, and in that organization those who now pretend to be "straight" democrats participated. According to every usage of party organization, according to every rule of law governing voluntary associations, that convention, the moment it was permanently organized, possessed the power to decide what was and was not democratic in the state of Nebraska, and every man refusing to accept its decision upon those questions ceased by his refusal to be a democrat. How is a democrat to be determined from a republican? By ascertaining whether or not he accepts and supports the decision of his state convention. It is in that way that we determine who is a republican, it is in that way that we determine who is a populist, and there is no other way under the sun to determine that question.
This convention proceeded with its business, adopted a platform, selected Hon. W. J. Bryan as its candidate for United States senator, selected the state central committee and the chairman thereof, and selected Silas Holcomb as its candidate for governor. Until Judge Holcomb was nominated, the so-called "straight" democrats continued to participate in every action of the convention and were therefore in honor bound by its every action, whether it was in their favor or against it. They were bound, therefore, to accept the platform as the democratic platform; to accept the nomination of W. J. Bryan as the regular democratic nominee; to accept the state central committee and its chairman as the democratic state central committee, and to accept Judge Holcomb as the democratic candidate for governor.
What did they do? The convention was composed of 368 delegates. About thirty-six of them left the convention as soon as Judge Holcomb was nominated and proceeded to another place, where they pretended to "organize a 'democratic' convention." In that "convention" men participated who had not been commissioned by the democrats of the state to speak for them. Over that "convention" a gentleman presided who had been repudiated in his own ward by nearly 2 to 1. The entire "convention" consisted of about fifty-six men. If every one of them had been elected delegates they would not have represented more than one-tenth of the entire convention. Are you willing to accept their decision, or will you accept the decision of the rightly constituted democratic state convention?
During the session of the democratic state convention, the general manager, the general ticket agent, and the right-of-way man of the B. & M. railroad sat in a room in the Paxton hotel directing the movements of the so-called "straight" democrats. Every scheme was resorted to, every promise made to prevent the democratic state convention from nominating Mr. Holcomb and his associates. The contest was between the railroads of the state on the one hand and the people on the other. The railroads lost. The people triumphed. Hence those tears.
EPILOGUE: A SENSE OF HUMILITY.
Did the convention act in the interest of democracy when it nominated Judge Holcomb? Yes; I had but one alternative: nominating a so-called "straight" democrat and thereby securing the election of T. J. Majors, the man who has been charged by Republicans of the nation with crime punishable by incarceration in the penitentiary, or nominating Judge Holcomb, clean, able, and fearless man, and thus securing his election. The convention decided to repudiate ring rule and corruption and to enthrone honesty and incorruptibility among democrats. Do you approve the action? These aliens sometimes call themselves "straight" democrats; sometimes they appear under the name of "businessmen," but always they are assistants to the Republican party. They have nominated Air. Baturdevant. They cannot hope for his election, nor do they desire it. They only hope to secure a sufficient number of democratic votes to aid in the defeat of Holcomb and the election of Majors. Every vote cast for Baturdevant is a vote taken from Holcomb and is in effect a vote for Majors. Will you permit these men to deceive you by pretending to be in favor of pure democracy and a "straight" ticket, when in fact they care nothing for either, their only makings being the success of Tom Majors?
But this campaign presents another issue. The railroads, banks, and other corporations have united and have inaugurated a strike between the classes and the masses. In Omaha, are given their choice, aid the election of Majors or reap disaster. Their business, men are told that the credit at the bank will be ruined, their stocks sacrificed, their business destroyed, their homes made desolate, and their business life blasted if they do not sell their manhood and consent to vote against their convictions. Never in the history of any state has more grievous tyranny been inaugurated and enforced than that which is now holding sway in Omaha and throughout the state under the direction of these "straight" democrats and business men.
In the decision on the 6th day of November, in favor of Thomas J. Majors, then the people of this state repay mistake up their stand to submit for years to the government of the railroads and the banks, to the rule of a tyranny worse than monarchy. If our decision be in favor of Hill Holcomb, then the people will have triumphed; home rule will have a place among us once again; liberty and justice will prevail in the affairs of men, and the spirit of Thomas Jefferson will guide the councils of our state. Democrats, citizens, what shall be your decision?

In regard to the Sugar Industry Proven Hinxman.
NORFOLK, Neb., Oct. 30. (Special.) Notwithstanding the inclement weather, a large audience greeted Hon. W. J. Bryan at the opera house last night. It was the first time Mr. Bryan made an appearance in this city.
Mr. Bryan discovered to his consternation that Norfolk people are strong friends of the sugar factor, and all out for the set sugar industry from start to finish.
When Mr. Bryan attempted to discredit the industry and attacked the management, he issued a challenge to anyone in the audience, which was quickly accepted by the Hon. C. H. Hayes, who in a short, crisp reply, amid the hearty plaudits of the entire audience, gave Mr. Bryan a set back, which, although a master of the platform though it be, clearly took him off his feet, and when he finally resumed, he showed by his manner that he was fully convinced that the sugar factory held a warm place in the hearts of Norfolk people, and concluded that it would be best to drop the subject.
In this year of short crops, the superior advantage of the sugar beet to withstand unfavorable weather has been fully demonstrated, and the people of this vicinity do not look with favor on anyone seeking to enure or destroy the sugar beet industry in this state.
UNIONISTIC: OVER HOLCOMB.
General Weaver Mention of that Statement of the Almanac.
LINCOLN, Oct. 30. (Special.) General J. S. Weaver, a soldier of Iowa, spoke this afternoon to an audience of 600 people at Bohemian Hall. The meeting was under the auspices of the populist state central committee, but the assembly was composed of voters from the three parties, and the applause was liberal.
The interest manifested in the discourse was largely centered upon the strong plea made by General Weaver in favor of Judge Holcomb. He considered this issue was one which might be viewed in Nebraska from a purely nonpartisan standpoint owing to the existing political condition, and spoke accordingly. His references to the candidacy of Judge Holcomb were received with an enthusiasm that plainly illustrated the temper of his Lincoln audience. He made a strong point in appealing to the conscience of voters, and said:
"If you cannot take your conscience to the polls with you, where in the name of heaven can you take it?"
DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
Returns from the County Clerks Now Being Received in Lincoln.
LINCOLN, Oct. 30. (Special.) Returns are being received from county clerks at the independent headquarters in answer to questions relative to the printing of the ballots. A large majority of them say that they will print them with the bracket, giving the party designation two lines whenever the candidate is a nominee of two conventions.
The tickets for the Independents of Lancaster County are now being printed with the bracket. The clerk of this county is said to be rushing his tickets out minus the bracket in order to have time for an appeal should a mandamus be issued to compel him to do otherwise. The mandamus, it is stated, will certainly be secured, but it does not seem possible to take any appeal to the supreme court before the election, as that body has adjourned until November.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Oct. 30. (Special.) The latest thing in politics is that the Catholic church has taken a hand in the fight throughout the state. There was a rumor yesterday to the effect that Bishop Martin Marty of the Diocese of South Dakota had sent out letters to the priests under him urging them to use their influence in the coming election to elect men favorable to Senator Pettigrew's candidacy for the United States senate.
This report was denied until the bishop, in an interview, acknowledged that it was true. He says that he wrote in pencil at the bottom of a typewritten list of Republican candidates in the respective counties to which the letter was to be sent, as follows: "Please use your influence for the election of the above-named candidates to the end that Senator Pettigrew may be sent back to the United States senate. M. Marty."
The bishop says his priests are not obliged to follow these instructions.
Democratic Candidate Withdraws.
BLUFF, Neb., Oct. 30. (Special.) Friday last County Clerk Rowland received notice from Charles Hoffman, democratic nominee for representative of the Twenty-first district, comprising Knox and Dodge counties, that the gentleman had withdrawn from the contest, and asked that his name be erased from the ticket. The announcement created some consternation among the ranks of the democrats, who were making a strong fight for him, and it is believed he could have at least carried his own county. The withdrawal leaves W. H. Wart of Crouse, populist, and H. C. Irwin of Knox, Republican, in possession, with the chances very favorable to the election of Wart.
W. H. Westover of Auburn was billed by the populists for four speeches, beginning at Bluff yesterday, but in a letter to the county central committee, the gentleman says he is overworked, and his voice failing him, so he could not come.
THANKSGIVING APT IN NOT RUTLAND.
COLUMBUS, Neb., Oct. 30. (Special Telegram.) John M. Hurston spoke here this afternoon to a host of political admirers, with a good sprinkling of those of opposite beliefs. He dwelt upon protection to all American industries, including silver, but showed the fallacy of unlimited coinage of foreign silver by exhibiting two silver dollars coined in Mexico, each containing five and a half grains more of silver than the American silver dollar, and yet he had purchased both of them for one American dollar.
J. A. Pfeffer, republican candidate for secretary of state, made a few remarks, comparing Kansas and Nebraska.
At the Odd Fellows building last night, a large audience assembled to listen to Judge Holcomb, but were sadly disappointed when the news came that he was not on the train. The Elgin band furnished the music during the evening. Speedier by the swollen river for county attorney, Freeze, Sutun, candidate for the legislature, and Parronfield, state lecturer, entertained the audience to a late hour, when the meeting closed with three rousing cheers for Holcomb. All the democrats and many lifelong republicans will vote for him.
MAYWOOD, Neb., Oct. 30. (Special Telegram.) The populists had a rally here today. Senator Young of Furnas County, D. L. McOrde, independent candidate for representative; L. M. Graham, county attorney, and Prof. O. W. Werner addressed the audience, which there were about sixty voters, fully one-half republicans. About twenty ladies were present, who seemed to enjoy the funny remarks made by the speakers about the actions of the old parties. Tomorrow the republicans have a rally here and a big crowd is expected.
The populists met at Lloyd's opera house here tonight to hear addresses by E. W. Rogers, an American Railway union lecturer from Chicago, and Judge Hampton, nominee for the legislature.
The meeting was especially for railroad men, who were present in large numbers. Many of them, republican and democrats alike, have declared privately that they will vote for Holcomb.

Judge Silas A. Holcomb, candidate for governor, made several addresses in the Ninth Ward last evening, the first at Twenty-ninth and Garnett Streets and the second at forty-eighth and Hamilton Streets. He was accompanied by Mr. Edward Londoner, who also spoke at both places.
In each instance, large audiences were present. These who attended did not go as populists or as democrats or as republicans, but as citizens. The addresses were confined solely to a discussion of the state issues and to points raised in the progress of the campaign, vitally affecting the inherent right of American freemen and the independence in his exercise of the elective franchise of the American and the Nebraska voter.
At the conclusion of the speaking at each place, an informal reception was held by Judge Holcomb and nearly all his listeners pressed forward to grasp him by the hand. A good many of them had never seen the people's nominee for governor and from the expressions made and created a most favorable impression. His open countenance won the confidence of his auditors before he had spoken five minutes and the closest heed was given to every utterance. One man remarked that Holcomb had such an honest appearance that he seemed like an animated guilding of sincerity.

His open countenance won the confidence of his auditors before he had spoken five minutes and the closest heed was given to every utterance. One man remarked that Holcomb had such an honest appearance that he seemed like an animated guilding of sincerity.

Judge Silas A. Holcomb, candidate for governor, made several addresses in the Ninth Ward last evening, the first at Twenty-ninth and Garnett Streets and the second at forty-eighth and Hamilton Streets. He was accompanied by Mr. Edward Londoner, who also spoke at both places.
In each instance, large audiences were present. These who attended did not go as populists or as democrats or as republicans, but as citizens. The addresses were confined solely to a discussion of the state issues and to points raised in the progress of the campaign, vitally affecting the inherent right of American freemen and the independence in his exercise of the elective franchise of the American and the Nebraska voter.

The decision was handed down by the supreme court, sustaining the verdict in the circuit court, which gave Leslie B. Carter a decree of divorce from his wife, giving him the custody of their child and refusing Mrs. Carter's application for alimony. After Mrs. Carter's defeat in the circuit court, her attorneys carried the case to the appellate court, where Chief Justice Sholfield dissented from the majority and shortly after his death the court granted full relief to Mrs. Carter. Her attorneys were facing a hard fight for alimony and at the second hearing before the supreme court, they took advantage of all the arguments made by Justices and Sholfield, being unsuccessful and the decision gave no relief in every particular. Mrs. Carter, who is now staying in Chicago, is said to be making preparations to return to the stage.
VANCOUVER, Oct 30. H.D. Chantrell, the collector of customs at Douglas, a village on the Canadian border, near Blaine, Wash., reports that a large open boat came ashore there on Friday containing a Roman's hat and shawl. There were numerous spots of blood on the state and sails. It is believed that a tragedy occurred. The schooner sailed from New Westminster for San Francisco with 410,000 feet of spruce lumber.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. Charles Bock, a scout of twenty Indian police, has arrived here, having in captivity Joe Johnson, Slope Price, Dick Reynolds, Jim Bates, and Lon Perry, five of the members of the Cook gang, captured by him. The encounter surprised the outlaws in camp and had them covered with Winchesters before the robbers could get their guns, and the capture was made without a shot. Captain Bock reports the first of the gang in his vicinity and after escorting his prisoners to Fort Gibsons will return and renew his efforts to capture the ring leaders.
From the Mall and Express of Oct. 31. The American Credit Indemnity company of New York have begun an action in the supreme court here against James Talcott for $150,000 damages for injury done to their credit. The American Credit Indemnity company sometime ago tendered to Mr. Talcott full payment of his general bond, amounting to $12,000, which was refused, because a further amount was claimed by him on certain department bonds covering same losses, which the company contends were provided for and embraced in their bond catering his general business.
HOT SPRINGS, S.D., Oct. 30. (Special.) Villa Theresa will be the name of the new grand hotel at Hot Springs, S.D. Around is broken for the structure, and iron rails are bought for an electric car service to the hills where it will be located. From the elevation above Mr. Fred Evans' office, the building resembles somewhat the Sheridan Inn at Sheridan, Wyo., very much enlarged. The size is 220 feet front and 210 feet deep, making it twice as long as Evans'. The idea advanced is that of an old English inn, with the rough beams allowing inside and overhanging dormer windows, with unexpected nooks and curves, the whole surrounded with a deep porch for dancing and promenading. The surrounding grounds are a natural park, with pine trees and grand old rocks. The plans were drawn by Walker & Kimball of Omaha.
Many improvements in the way of buildings appear since the fall of '93. Built in a substantial and sturdy manner from the red sandstone common in this locality, sewerage for the city is under way, and the remaining spots of ten years ago, known only by the hunters and ranchers and wandering Indians as possessing springs of great healing properties, is now a city of 2,000 inhabitants, with modern improvements, and its palatial hotels overflowing with guests from all parts of the world. The new fruit train service on both the A.M. and Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley will bring this spot to the very doors of Omaha in eight hours' ride.
The Women's Club in Their Hall by an Unknown Man.
COLUMBIAVILLE, Mich., Oct. 30. At 2 o'clock this morning, an unknown man broke into Fred Skinner's house, about three miles from here, and attempted to murder Mr. and Mrs. Skinner and the latter's mother, Mrs. Stanley. The man entered the house through the cellar, went first to Mrs. Stanley's room and struck her with a hammer, crushing her skull. He then went to Skinner's room, struck Mrs. Skinner three times in the head and face, and attempted to brain Skinner, but the latter warded off the blow with a pillow. The murderer then ran from the house, and has so far eluded capture. Mrs. Stanley's husband, from whom she separated some time ago, is suspected of the crime. He was seen in Columbiaville yesterday. His home is near Pontiac, and the sheriff has left for there. Both women will die.
United States Census shows that during some period of the year, 23 percent of the population attends school. The average period of attendance this year, however, is only eighty-seven days for each pupil. The report says: "It would seem to be the purpose of our system to give in the elementary schools to every child the ability to read. After leaving school, he is expected to continue his education by reading the printed page of newspaper and book." This great increase of public libraries in the United States is evidence of progress towards the realization of this ideal. In fact, we have over 10,000 public libraries with more than 1,000 volumes in each. The schools teach how to read; the libraries furnish what to read. But far surpassing the libraries in educational influence are the daily newspapers and magazines. We are governed by public opinion as ascertained and expressed by the newspapers to a degree that our civilization is justly to be called a newspaper civilization. The library and the newspaper are our chief instruments of learning, continuing the school and the university. The lecture, scientific, and literary societies are assisting mightily. The work of the churches of the land is seen even more potent a factor in school extension."
Further light is thrown upon the workings of the new tariff act by United States Consul Morse at Glasgow.
A special report to the Department of State. He says: "Large orders are being received by merchants here since the passage of the new United States tariff law, and many of them have expressed to me the opinion that next year will witness an unprecedented trade between China and the United States, both as to exports and imports. Every indication points that way. The enactment and operation of the law has given a new impetus to trade between China and the United States, as the months of August and September show, indicating a very perceptible increase in the number and value of exports, as compared with the preceding months. The hiatus of exportation for the quarter ending June 30, 1891, was $703,000; for the quarter ending September 20, 1891, it was $931,963. As compared with the corresponding quarter of last year, there has been an increase of $650,309, all in the months of August and September."
St. Louis, Oct. 30. The total result of the fire at East St. Louis will not be known, probably, for several days yet, though the total loss will not be much below the estimates made. The total burned area was over 1,300 feet by 160 feet, well filled with freight. In addition, the number of cars lying within and alongside was necessarily large, a large portion of which were destroyed. About two miles of rails and ties were also destroyed.
The Chicago, Peoria & St. Louis estimates its individual loss at about $5,000. The Terminal Company and the Jacksonville Southwestern have not completed their statements, but estimate that they will swell the aggregate to not less than $3,000, about two-thirds insured.
Toledo, Oct. 30. The special commission, which has been investigating the accounts of W.O. Barney, treasurer of DeKalb County, reported today that Barney is short $12,000, an offset to this alleged shortage, Barney claims assets including canal stock of two certificates of deposit on the first National Bank of DeKalb, totaling $13,000, which he had advanced, is, however, illegal for the treasurer to deposit, county funds or lend the same, thereby creating the shortage. Overdrafts are shown on his books to the extent of $11,000.
Washington, Oct. 30. The United States Court of Claims today rendered judgments in favor of 193 letter carriers for time served in excess of eight hours a day. Out of the whole number of cases decided, 100 came from Chicago, 94 from New York, and 4 from Frederick, Md.
Shelton, Neb., Oct. Special (Telegram.) The Pythian Sisters held a grand banquet and lap supper tonight in the Knights of Pythias hall, which was to be in honor of Mrs. D.J. Thorworth, grand chancellor of the state, who resides at Hastings, but on account of some unavoidable cause, she could not be present. Doc
Jim Cook, brother of Bill Cook, who has terrorized the territory the past three weeks, is on trial here today for the murder of a Cherokee deputy sheriff a year ago. His trial has been set three times, and he has cost the nation $10,000 as the judicial expenses of attempting to try him.
New York, Oct. 30.-W.C. Lane, receiver for the United States Shipping Stockholders' company, today obtained an order from Judge Lurcumho of the United States Court to pay a dividend to the creditors at his "earliest convenience." The claimants, numbering over 1,200, amount to $7,497,103.
Last night Mr. William Collier gave an Omaha audience an opportunity to judge of his talents along serious lines, and the verdict was entirely in his favor, a verdict, too, that was attained against the preconceived notions of the theater-goers as to his ability. Collier has been a light in the farce-comedy world for several years, and his quaint methods, his well-rounded art even as a buffoon, have attracted the favorable consideration of professional people who have a predilection for the "first glance of the footlights." But Mr. Willie Collier has earned through his pleasing performances his right to be known as plain William instead of Willie, and it is to be hoped he will divorce himself from the din of the theater, which somehow inflicts little of the art, little of the strength, little of the fine ability which this comedy artist shows in his new play, "A Black Number," is in Mr. Collier's happiest vein, and while reminiscent of "A Poor Relation," "Peaceful Valley," and maybe in some of its parts reminiscent of "The Old Homestead" and "Jed Prouty," it tells us more without unnecessary detail. The airy persiflage is happily missing, although the third act tends very near to shtove. When the drummer and his wife have their little rehearsal, and the close of the second act finds Ike and the "character woman" dancing a Kenworth; country reel to the music of a real country fiddle; it also tends to mind the penny-a-liner methods practiced by the farceur to get a laugh. In "A Black Number," however, they seem to be in an integral part of the drama which goes on, a part of the life of the village to which the scene is localized, and their introduction is only the high lights that give a perfection to the character.
It will not be as the devil-may-care youth who is described on the bill as a boot salesman, Ike Reimelt, that Mr. Collier will make his success, for he is known in this line, but as the schoolteacher Ben, who boards round, which is in strong contrast to the impish brother, will this rising young actor be taken seriously. The dual role is cleverly played by Mr. Collier, and Mr. Edward Clarke, the author of "Hypolite," has given to Ben, the schoolmaster, just enough serious emphasis to make the character a bit of true delineation that appeals strongly to the heart of audiences. In plot the play is not overly original, the minus tristimcentionduffing, the gay, deceiving villain who has afforded much evidence and who makes love to the young girl, an incarnation playing a Fougère part, two character roles, a drummer to add the sauce, the fun to the play, in conjunction with these are exploited by Mr. Clarke in "A Back Number." But supporting Mr. Collier are a very competent number of people, who seem to have been molded for the several parts they play.
Mr. Leslie has made a capital commercial play, touring, playing his role with a breezy spirit that is very characteristic of him. As "Knickerbocker Rip," James R. Smith has a splendid opportunity to show his ability in "Boxing Hodd," and which he thoroughly compasse; Mr. A. Smith as the deceiving artist is good. If not overly painstaking, while Edward Clark as an "enfant terrible" was very much at home, turning things every which way, as is usual with the small boy.
The ladies of the company were acceptable, Mrs. Collier having a tender, very womanly part in Miriam, who, while being fascinated with the smooth words and arts of the artist, finds out her mistake in ways known to Miss Ruby Bucklin as Althea Hull quite won the respect of her audience by her careful work as a character that could be very easily exaggerated, and Miss Helen Kleiner made us do-veloped "an old warrior," as one would wish to see, but she has art, and she shows it on every occasion. Miss Pelham played the abandoned woman with credit.
There is a freshness and aroma about "A Hack to Hack Number" that exhilarates; It is full of the quaint life of a down-east village, and is played by one of the most natural comedians on the stage, Mr. William Henry Collier. Comedians since, Mr. James P. Willlett was appointed postmaster of Washington today by President Cleveland. He is a member of a well-known firm of hatters and a lifelong resident of Washington. He has been one of the leaders of the district democracy.

Annual Meeting; April.
ALBANY, N.Y., April 30. Arguments on appeal of Boss McKane, sentenced to years in Sing Sing, were heard by the court of appeals today. One point on which appeal is based is that the section under which the indictment was found applies only to election officers, and Mr. Kane was not in that category. It was not applicable in his case. It is also alleged that the court erred in changing the jury in regard to a conversation between Mr. Gross and Mr. McKane over a telephone line. The latter point will bring before the court of appeals the question of how far in evidence conversation over a wire by two persons, identified only by their voices, may be admitted.

A Suffering Child.
Perfected Cure in Two Weeks.
A little son, aged three, was very much troubled with a birthmark on his right leg and behind his knee. The place afflicted was prodigious, about the size of a silver dollar; the flesh was raw and covered with tiny blisters. The child suffered considerably, and was naturally fretful. Several remedies were tried without any noticeable results: in fact, the eruptions seemed to be spreading and new places were breaking out. I concluded to try the CUTICURA Compounds: Unshed the affected parts with CUTICURA Ointment, taking care not to irritate the flesh, and applied CUTICURA. I noticed a change for the better in the appearance of the eruptions in twenty-four hours, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and the birthmark healed; in fact, a perfect cure, as I have not seen any indications of any eruption or breaking out since. I gave the child only a few drops of the CUTICURA liniment. I consider your CUTICURA REMEDY very valuable. CUTICURA would be excellent for applying to impotence, which are very annoying in this country.

ot the Introduction , however. I wonder If
Mr. and Mrs. Hanscom remember that
episode. They lived about half a mile north
of the "cottage" just described and had what
Ecemcd to others a house that was almost
palatial. It contained three rooms , I believe
besides a kitchen , and had many .comforts
that few had in those days , Including a
craillo that held a rosy-cheeked , curly-heade
baby girl , who Is now grown to womanhood
and has babies ot her own. Another house
standing where Crclghton college now stands
was built by a nephew of the late Ilev.
Ilcuben 'Gaylord , but was afterward occupied
by Mr. and Mrs. W. N. IJycrs , who have
for many years resided In Colorado. A one-
story house stood just In the roar ot the
stprc slnco built and occupied by Sootlo
and Maul , on Farnam street , and was kept
as a boarding house by "Kentucky" Wood
and his wife. ( That" was not his name , but
was given him to distinguish him from
another of the same name. ) It was de
cidedly a "high toned" boarding house , al
though the partitions were made of un
bleached cloth , and the floor of the dining
room was covered with sawdust. Judges
Lockwood and liradlty , two of the territorial
judges , boarded thcro and a dinner was given
In their honor by the landlord and his wife.
Governor and Mrs. L. B. Cumlng , Colonel
and Mrs. C : V. Smith , Dr..George L. Miller
and myself were olnong the Invited guests.
My Invitation was brought to mo by a man
who came to deliver a load nf wood and very
kindly offered , me a "s5nt In his cart , " which
I accepted ; so , while the wood was being re
moved , I dressed myself Tuid was rather
horrified ! on. going'out to find the "cart"
drawn by a pair of oxcn. _ Nothing was said ,
however , and after various attempts to mount
I succeeded and' ' , took my seat on a board
that was dcclam\ bo clean , for ho had
"wiped It with his handkerchief , " which was
a bandanna ot heroic size. The oxen started ;
the seat was rather , mirrov.1 , and In order to
save myself from pitching out head foremost
I was obliged to lay violent hands on my
escort. I reached my destination in safety ,
however , and found dinner nearly over , hut
thcro was still enough turkey , coffee , bread
and butter left to supply all needs. That
vas tht'\flrst dliiiibr party ever given In
Omaha.
Governor and Mrs. , Cumlng boirdcd at the
Douglas house , and their rooirs were often
filled with the "elite" of this young and
grpwlng city. Mrs. Cumlng was then , as
now , very popular , and In the little gatherIngs -
Ings , which were very frequent , considering
the scarcity of room , she was the trading
light. She \ > as always ready and willing to
assist In iny ( good work , and wherever there
waa sickness shb was sure to be found. Mrs.
Thomas Davis was another one who was al
ways doing good. She was the mother ot
the late Mrs. .Herman Kountzo , who at that
time was the only white "Httle girl" here.
Still another ono who was always acting the
part of the Cowl Samaritan was Mrs. C. Es-
tabrook. No one waa ever turned away from
her door who needed help , and sti ? could al
ways bo found at the bedside * ot the sick and
suffering. Mrs. A. I ) . Jones lived at that
time at what was called "Park Wild , " In a
one-story log or frame house that was after
wards occ'ipled''by G. M. Dodge , the distin
guished sofJIer , so well and widely known to
the whole country as the chief engineer of
he Uqlon Pacific tallroad.
Among others who were here and whoso
daughters , Mrs. Edwin Patrick and Mrs.
.5- AH n Hoot , with their chlllren and grand
children , are still with us , was Mrs * L. G.
.5h Goodwill , who lived In the "Kentucky" Wocd
house that I have already mentioned , located
h near the corner of Thirteenth and Farnam
streets. She afterwards built the brick house
that still stands on the corner of Fifteenth
and Davenport streets.
One ot the most prominent women of the
white settlement cf Omaha at that day was
Mrs. John M. Thaycr , whose homo at that
time nvay bo said to have been the first
civilized appearing home. It was actually
plastered , clapboirded and sh'ng'.ed. The en
tire community cnvleAirs. . Thayer her some
what Imros ng residence ; It wai In ery ttrjng
contrast , however , with the beautiful brick
house which General Thaycr afterward built
and occupied for several years on the corner
h of Sixteenth and Davenport streets.
Mrs. Samuel Hogers , Mrs. F. Davidson ,
Mrs. Thomas O'Connor , Mrs. Wllllarj
Snowden , Mrs. O. 11. Seldcn , Mrs.
lladl y Johnson and Mrs. Harrison John
son were among the first women who lived
In Omaha. Mrs. A. J. Popplcton may be
classed among the number , although at that
time she waa living in our sister city , and
waa one of the trailing young ladles there.
Of course It will be seen tli.it I am only
writing of the wives und mothers who lived
In Omaha in the yea's ct ISSt and 1S55. An
I have tald before , almost every lady was
obliged to do her own work , but for nil that
h ; had plenty of time for enjoyment , ami
many pleasant gatherings were had at tW
different homes , besides the dances held al
the Douglas house.
The Indians at that time were very numer
ous , and we were ol'un called upon to dispense
hcspltallty to them , Among the Omalias was
a chief bearing the ouphomtous name ol
"White Cow. " lie was very friendly , and
whenever holshed would * tay over nlghl
at our house. A simple blanket \yas all he
required for a bed , and after smoking his
pipe he would "wrap the drapery ot his coucli
about him and II ? down to pleasiut dreams. "
He waa tall , erect and a splendid specimen cl
physlc.il manhood , more than six feet Ir
height , and In all respects a com mm Jin 8
flE' ro Ho was ( he orator cf hli people an-J
never lost an opportunity to write a tpeccti ;
In this mpfct not very widely different from
some of hl white brethren. His features
were peculiar to his race , but were much
marred by a badge of what he called dis
honor , In the form of a black rag that he
were tied over his upper Up and fastened en
the top oC his head. In his younger days he
had had an encounter with his ancient enemy ,
a Sioux Indian , from whom he received a
wound , and his upper Up carried a scar which
his badge was Intended to conceal. It Is a
part of the tradition at the time that White
Cow made a vow that ho would always wear
It until he had met a Sioux and killed him.
Suffice It to say he were the badge to his
grave. It may be added that the Indians
paid our people frequent visits , accompanied
by their squaws. The men would enter the
housts without waiting for an Invitation ,
oftentimes the first hnowledg ? of their pres
ence lielng a rather dirty hand extended
toward one , and a call for food for their
pappooses , but their squaws would content
themselves with remaining outside and flat
tening their noses against the windows.
Our llttlo city at that time was entirely
cvold nf sidewalks or fences , and though
he streets were all named , no one paid the
east attention to them , the only mark bing
n occasional wagon track. When any of
> ur people became rich enough to own a cow
ho usually pastured them where the New
fork Life building now stands , and the few
lorsss that were here had their speed tested
n running races from Farnam street north-
yard on Sixteenth street.
There are many other Interesting Incidents
hat occur to me , but I have already taken

A. Day of Joy , Especially for the Country
I'fMlplC.
"In the beautiful month of May. "
It Is not BO very long since the celebration
of May day has assumed any Importance li
this country. If many other customs brough
from foreign countries to ours have galnet
here their full citizenship this cannot bo said
as far as the celebration of the May day Is
concerned.
The American Is It may perhaps not sound
very pollto and courteous , but nevertheless
It Is a fact more for the practical than the
Ideal side of life- and to Induce him to make
one ot his business days a holy day there
must bo either , religious or patriotic motlveb ,
or both ot them. With the celebration of the
May day neither of these motives can enter
Into the consideration. Therefore It is the
"crown , of creation , " the woman wno cele
brates the May day In our land as far as one
can speak ot any celebration here at all.
As It happens In Omaha this year , the la
dles arc coming before the public on this day
with the edition of a leading dally paper ,
written and managed entirely by ladles , surely
a May day celebration and a concession to the
Ideal , to which men perhaps never could nor
would rise.
Quite otherwise are things In Europe. In
most of the countries of the continent the
May day celebration Is an ancient custom , a
custom known and observed by the people
for many centuries and In the fullest sense
of the word a public feast. It Is the same
In the north , near the eternal Ice ; It Is the
sameIn Sweden and Norway , In Denmark
and even In some parts of far Russia. It Is
the same throughout all Germany , In Switzer
land and away down in Italy , In France and
Spain. It Is the same In the vast empire of
Austria-Hungary , with Its many-tongued na
tions. Everywhere the 1st of May Is cele
brated ao a day ot feasting and Joy , especially
among the country people. For those the
1st of May is a day of cheerfulness , a day
watted for anxiously by young and old , be
cause then they enjoy music and song , all
sorts of popular plays and last , but not least ,
a grand ball on the public squares , where
often even tha "grandpa" risks a little dance
with "grandma. " It Is a day of joy and
amusement , not disturbed by any lack ot
harmony.
Ot course It Is quite natural that every
country , even different parts of each coun
try , have their own peculiarities connected
with this day. But one thing Is true every
where the living generation having received
the tradition of this feast from their an
cestors so as to make It a real and Innocent
arnuscmcnt for all people without distinction ,
will leave It to their offspring just the same ,
pure and harmonious.
Who ever has had an opportunity to study
the feasts and customs of the country people
In Germany will have- noticed the fact that
while both sexes take part together In those
amusements , they always keep themselves
strictly within the limits ot decency and
morality.
What Is the origin of the May day celebra
tion' '
It was already well known to the old
Romans , and from their time to the present
this day has been observed. By the Romans
the month of May , the fifth month of the
year , was-named after the goddess , Mala
Malus. Mala was the oldest of the Pleiades
and by Jupiter the mother of Mercury , the
messenger and Interpreter of the gods.
The Romans adored her. with Flora , god
dess of spring , and the blossom month wae
devoted to her. At that tlmo the people cel
ebrated the arrival of the long-awaited guest
by joyful amusements In which all the people
ple , rleh and poor , old and young , took part ,
t In titusc ancient times the poets already
made their odes and eongs to the "beautiful
month of May , " and those , who followed
them , from the writers ot the church songs
who dedicated their poems to the "Queen ol
the May , " the blessed Vjrgln Mary , dowr. .
to the Mlnnc fingers of the middle ages , and
from them to thj } poets of the present time
did not mlt-3 the chance to pay their tribute
to the May. In thu German poetry of oui
times we yearly find some new tongs Ir
this , a llttlo over-worked direction. The
family joi'rnnls. of the Fatherland , whlcr
bring Germany's young poets to the front
will. In their May edition also this year , as
sure , as there are stars In the sky , publish i
whole lot of new poetry , In which wo are ln <
formed "the May has come , "
The Joy brought by the well received facl
that , the blossom month Is here again , thai
spring , with all the glory attributed to her
ias won the fight over the harsh fellow win-
er , Is at the bottom of all May day celebra-
Ions and makes the first of May a heartily
velcomed and general observed day of festl-
al In most of the European countries.
In most of the principal cities "over the
; reat lake" May day Is observed In ono way
or the other. In Vienna , the capital of Aus-
rla , commencing at high noon , a cavalcade
ot hundreds and hundreds ot vehicles Is
ormeil in line , and , headed by the Imperial
coaches and those ot the high aris
tocracy , turns out to the Prater , the world
renowned public park , which covers many
nlles and Is one of the greatest of Its kind.
? or moro than a hundred years It has been
a place of public resort , dear to the heart
of every true Viennese , and there the day
IH spent In joy and amusements of various
kinds peculiar to the Prater. Whoever owns
a carriage or can afford to hire one partici
pates In the Praterfahrt ( Prater parade. )
In Paris all who are In society , In fact' ' , "tout
io Paris , " as the Frenchman says , takes a
rldo on May day to the Bols cle Boulogne ,
another beautiful park of world wide fame ,
and to Auteull , where on this day the great
spring races begin.
The tumo day over In old England those
people who are or wish to be known as mem
bers of the fashionable world , celebrate May
day at the Epsom races , which give , In the
eyes of all sport lovers , to the victor greater
honors than the premiership of the United
Kingdom.
In Spain , at Scvilla and other places , the
May Is Inaugurated by bull tights and other
national festivities , while down on the Rivi
era , at Monaco and Monte Carlo , the spring
season , commencing May day. finds a good
many representatives of "la monde , " and
I beg your pardon "demi-monde , " the lat
ter , of course , of the highest style , all ascm-
blcd at the notorious green table. Upon those
people the simple and old-fashioned festival ,
which stirs the heart of the rustics In the
valleys of Germany , or upon the high moun
tains In the Tyrol , would hardly make any
Impression ; to make life worth living to
them It needs a little more than old songs
and a concert , given by a band consisting of
homo talent. Therefore they go and seek
their pleasure In the excitement of "rouge et
nolr" and other plays , where one can become
Croesus or beggar , Just as his lot falls , within
a moment.
Of course still much more could bo said
about May day celebration In Europe. But
there Is a saying , come to us from times
past , that a woman never finds the end when
she once begins talking. Therefore , In order
to contradict that saying , I shall close.

When duty calls , the Brownie band
Will always lend a helping hand.
Nor shirk , when called some work to do ,
Hut of It take a cheerful view.
So when the leader of the throng
Of willing llrownles , brave nnd strong ,
Called to his band , with eager ear
All come their leader's words to hear.
Said he , "The ladles of this town
Have , it is rumored , broken down
The ancient prejudice that men
Alone can wield the public pen ;
So they have taken for a day
The paper from the men away ,
And will together run The Bee
And do the work themselves , you see.
So let us , as a courteous band ,
To these good ladles lend a hand ;
For to the Blck. who need It FO ,
The profits of the paper go.
They even now have net the day-
It U , I think , the ttr t of May.
We must be quick. If we would make
Much headway ere that morning break. "
When night In shadows forth did creep
The Brnwnles from their caves dlel peep ,
As quiet streets they gladly see.
They quickly hurry to The Bee.
Said one , "The work we'll do real spry.
And now I'll go and llx the pi. "
So to their tasks the Brownies flew ,
Some cut , some wiote , some marked with
blue.
But all were careful that they should
Da just the finest that they could ,
So that the world might justly say ,
The paper on the llrst of May
Was really belter than -when
Edited and published by the men.
They worked with zeal , they worked with
will ,
And , better still , they worked with skill ;
And when the sun on first of May
Chased all the mists and shades away ,
The Brownies , with their task well done ,
Declared It had been real good fun ;
Then ere the sun had climbed the * ky"
The Brownies to their homes did hie.

WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO . UO IT
Mm. Cleveland' * Grnelotiincftg to n Wnlf
Some Interfiling Feature * of I ho
Now llcglino In Washington
Society.
In consenting to write an article on the
topic selected for me "Twelve Years' Ex
perience In Washington Society" for the
Issue of The Bee of May 1 , to bo edited ex
clusively by women , I did so thoughtlessly ,
scarcely realizing I was entering upon a new
role , never before having ; written a line for
publication. My efforts Will naturally be
crude and I fear uninteresting on a subject
which should and could bo most entertaining
under proper treatment. Washington , the
scat ot government of our great republic ,
with Its magnificent public buildings , broad
and well paved avenues , lined on either side
with beautiful shade trees ; Its many and well
kept parks filled with rare , blooming trees
and shrubs and flowering plants a perfect
Joy In the springtime ; Us fine residences ; Its
well groomed men and gaily attired women ;
elegant equipages and spirited horses ,
thronging , at certain hours of the day , the
streets in the fashionable northwest quarter ,
on social matters bent , Is a most attractive
city to the stranger , but to be In and a part
of the social life ot this gay little capital of
ours has a charm that can scarcely be
understood by the uninitiated , especially
those who believe they have no taste for
or Inclination to participate In the doings of
"polite society , " considering It made up of
trifling and purely worldly affairs. It Is In
fact qulto the revcrsi The "Inner circle"
Is composed largely of highly cultivated
people nnd one meets1 therein not only dis
tinguished statesmen and leaders cf thought ,
but persons of reno n of our own country
and from foreign parts ; men and women
who are famous because of the books they
have written , pictures they have painted ,
scientific researches they have mode or good
deeds they have done. To come In contact
nnd have converse with these Is a privilege
to be sought for , not Ignored. True , there
Is a giddy and frivolous 'element Us giddi
ness and frivolity pointing the pen of the
newspaper writer , wha , in hla desire for the
sensational , exaggerates but it Is not so bad
as it Is painted. , ' .
The observance off prescribed forms of
social etlquet Is more strictly adhered to In
Washington than elsewhere ; in this country.
Representatives from foreign courts are
there In official capacity , and among diplo
mats the established court etiquet Is followed
most punctiliously. vThe little convention
alities mean much'and , to disregard them
would lead to awkward' , and even grave
blunders. Their "breach means more than
a display of Ignorance , and would sometimes
Import insult when none Is Intended. The
diplomat longest In place Is known as the
dean ot the diplomatic service , and as such
Is the highest In honor of his grade of the
corps , now divided into ambassadors and
ministers. With their showy dress they add
largely to the spectacular , features ot Wash
ington , as they ornament It by their varied
attainments and world wisdom.
In the exchange of cards there Is much
meaning , and while there Is not the necessity
elsewhere of adhering to' the strict forms
that govern the Capio ( ) CJty it might be well
to adopt some ot It9 methods In card dis
tributing. The etlquet ot other cities of
making calls Is reversed In Washington.
The newcomer makes the first call upon
those of higher or equal rank. At the openIng -
Ing of the season which la co-Incident with the
convening of congress , It Is the duty of all
In official life to call promptly on the family
of the president and vice president , chief
Justice and associate juitlccs of the supreme
court , the president pro tem. of the senate
and the speaker pt the house. Senators take
precedence over cabinet officers , and members
of both houses ot congress call upon seniors
In service In their respective houses. The
caller leaves one card ot her own , and twofer
for each man ot her household. If there be
more than one woman la the family called
upon It Is not customary to leave extra cards ,
the turning down of the right end of the
cards Indicating that the call Is intended
for all members of the family. In making
calls of condolence or congratulation an ex
pression of "deep sympathy" or "hearty con
gratulations" Is written on the card. Every
woman , In official lite at least , has her day
"at home. " Mrs. Cleveland receives such
of her friends as have had an Invitation
from her that they will bo welcome , on
Mondays , between 5 and G o'clock , and on
Saturdays , between 3 and 4 , she receives the
general public. This Is not the Invariable
custom of every mistress of the whtto house ,
each one following her own Inclination. Mrs.
Cleveland's "Mondays" are disappointing to
those who wish and hope not only to see ,
but to have a friendly and Informal chat
with her. Hut she Is so charming and much
beloved that her host of friends crowd the
small red room In which she receives , and
ono can have but llttlo attention from her
other than the hearty shake of the hand ,
which Is her characteristic. Mrs. Cleveland
Is noted for the cordial greeting she extends
to every one , high or low , old or young ,
who calls upon her. An occurrence on ono
of her "Saturday afternoons" shows how
her kindly manner endears her to all.
A little unkempt girl was In line and as flic
made her modest courtesy Mrs. Cleveland
bent over and warmly grasped her hand as
she spoke a pleasant word to her , which
made the child's face beam with happiness.
After being "passed on" she turned and
backed herself out , keeping her eyes on the ?
"sweet lady , " utterly oblivious to her sur
roundings. In passing cut through the main
corridor , from which a door leads Into the
receiving room , with a low open-work brass
gate , to prevent people entering that way ,
the child stopped and climbed upon the gate ,
leaning over and craning her neck to get
another look at Mrs. Cleveland. As an
officer , whose duty It was to keep the crowd
moving , attempted to lift her down she
clung to the gate , crying : "Oh ; don't take
me away , don't take mo away. I never
saw her before and I'll never see her again
the sweet lady. "
Monday Is justice's day , Tuesday reprc-
sentalve's , Wednesday the wife of the vice
president receives and It Is also "cabinet
day , " and on Thursday the wives of senators
are "at home. " The houses of officials ore
open to everybody desiring to call , and
thronged with people , 'Borne of whom one
never meets at any other time , the number
reaching Into the hundreds , and In some
Instances between 2,000 and 3,000 have paid
their respects during an afternoon. Usually
a dainty tea table Is late and a cup of
TIII3 SPIIllT OP THE AGE POINTS WITH TUIDE TO OMAHA TODAY.
tea , with a wafer or thin sandwich , Is
served , although ot late date refreshments
have been dispensed with by some , because o
the abuse ot this hospitality. Tea Is such a
favored beverage In Washington that It Is
always served with refreshments of any
kind and at all times. At some houses a cui
of tea Is served every day at 5 o'clock an
hour when one's friends drop In Informally
on days other than days "at home , " after
the English fashion , and so fond are eome
of their cup of tea at this hour that It be
comes almost a dissipation. With the ex
ception of the wife of the president , who
makes no calls , these first calls are returned
ai promptly as possible. To return all calls
In person Is a physical Impossibility , ant
much of one's Indebtedness must necessarily
be cancelled by sending cards , To keep an
account of all these visits is no small matter
For this purpose a book Is kept , In which Is
entered the name , address , reception day
and date , when made and when returned , o
every call. With the booking of engage
ments , replying to Invitations and numerous
other communications , which como to the
wives of officials of prominence , together
with their private correspondence for the
rest of the day , the life of a Washington
woman In society Is a busy one. Many
keep a secretary , but those who do no
have few leisure moments.
These , exacting duties may eecm unneces
sary to the outsider , but a clever woman
will not neglect them , tor she can do much
to advance her husband's Interests and those
of his people , not only by a gracious manne
In her own house , but by strictly observing
these established courtesies tor to bo pollt
is to bo kind , and kindness engenders friend
ships , and friends are better than enemies
In matters not only personal , but legislative
These women , busy as they are , find tlm
however , for other pursuits , A few year
ago the "Washington Club" was organized
by and exclusively for women. It began U
modest fashion , but with good buslnet
ability It has been enabled 'to purchase , and
now occupies a fine building In a most do
slrable portion of the city. It Is handsome !
furnished , with cozy reading rooms , tea
rooms , a largo music room , and In fact ha
everything to make It attractive , even t
card rooms , where a harmless but hlghl
scientific gameof whist U occasionally In
dulged In. A most delightful feature ot th
club IB the largely attended meetings , hel
In the music room ; on Tuesday mornings to
discussing current events , and for hook reviews
views on Friday mornlgs. Clover papers ar
read , and witty discussions ensue. Tberc
re upwards of 300 members , many of them
ithlonablo society women , Thcro U also
ho Literary society , of long standing , hav-
ng among Us members some ot the brightest
nd most scholarly men and women of this
ountry. The Geographical and Scientific so-
letlcs , composed of erudlto men , many with
vorld-wldo reputations , add largely to the
iharm of Washington life , nnd show that
hero are other purtults than the fashionable
rlvollties.
The 5 o'clock tens , which are much In
ogue , are very different affairs from the
ailing-day receptions. Invitations are ox-
ended to men as well as women , nnd clab-
rate refreshments are served , Flowers and
alms nnd soft-colored lights are distributed
ivcr the table and through the house. Of
ate years It has been the popular thing
o launch the young debutante on the social
vave at these teas. To leave cards at these
ntertalnmcnts Is considered bad form. They
hould bo acknowledged by n call , as much n
dinner , and who would ever think of leav-
ng a card at a dinner ?
Washington social entertainment reaches
ts culmination In the dinner. In no other
Ity In this country has dinner giving at-
allied the proportions of a fine art. They
ice as frequent as they are charming , nnd It
s not unusual for ono "In the whirl" to have
cvcral Invitations for the same evening.
The plain engraved card , Issued usually In
ho name of the hostess only , Is sent out
rom ono to four weeks before the dinner ,
\hlch is commonly served at S o'clock.
Each gentleman on arrival receives a small
envelope containing the name of the lady he
s to escort. Particular care Is given to en-

A. S1KKXO1S THAT
Wlint Has Horn Done to Urine the World
to Tlmfto Vllia Ilo Not llciir ,
In the age of miracles the deaf were made
to hear , and the dumb to speak. An evil
dumb spirit was cast out of a man and ho
was free and happy. In books of fiction we
read of deaf and dumb servants , who could
iiear no secrets and tell no tales.
In ages past , no education , no training
was thought possible for the deaf and dumb.
They were as evil spirits , to be avoided and
mprlsoned. Aristotle declared that deaf
mutes could not be educated , and It was Im
possible to reach them by any method.
During the great intellectual revival of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries , the
deaf , as a class , remained Ignorant and un
taught. It was In the latter part of the
seventeenth century that the great hearted
Abbo de I'Epeo founded a school for the
deaf In Paris , which became famous through
out Europe. The success of this school led
to the opening of others , and at the begin
ning of the present century the first school
for the deaf was founded at Hartford by
Thomas Hopkins Gallaudot. In the United
States fifty years ago , there were six schools
for the deaf. Now there are seventy-nine ,
with an attendance of over 8,000 children.
The pupils In these schools are as bright ,
as happy , as much given to good and evil , as
difficult to govern , as affectionate and thank
ful as any other children would be gathered
In from average homes. Devoid of bearing
and possibly keener of sight and suspicion , U
requires teachers of peculiar tact and talent
to develop their Intellects. Teaching the
deaf Is a profession In Itself , unlike public
school work , to often made a stepping stone
to something else. A teacher must have
Inexhaustible resources , superior force of
character , a kindly heart , a graceful bearing ,
and the grace of God In his heart. He
must go Into the work to stay and to work
while he stays. It takes several years before
ho Is at his best. There Is no calling In
which a person need bo so original or think
out so many ways and means ot getting nt
the minds and hearts of the llttlo one ; , as In
the schools for the deaf. Give us fine teach
ers , capable matron , flrst-clasa supervisors , a
good cook , and let each one attend to his
own special feature of the work and nobody's
else , and the superintendent will smile as
he Elts In his ofllce and works up scheme *
and devices for the further education and
development of his school.
All ot our deaf children can talk In the
sign language. Years ago when schools were
new , all were taught by signs. A dally
lesson from the superintendent to the teach
ers , handed down to the children , kept a
uniform system throughout the hchools. The
children read In lgiis , talked In signs , re
cited In signs. But It was found laTer on ,
that this sign method was a hindrance to the
development of language. Spelling out the
words and sentences became moro popular ,
and the general use ot signs In the school
rooms has been dlscontlnucd-fn the advanced
schools. A constant use ot the English
language by spelling , writing , or speaking It ,
has been found to be the only way to teach
the children language , and language teach
ing Is the thing found moil difficult to teach
to our deaf people.
The sign language In itself la expressive
and beautiful. Children understand It , and
many who are dull , or uneducated , or too
slow to master the use of the English
language , can bo i cached through the me
dium of elgns.
Speech and lip reading arc taught In many
schools. This Is the most difficult , but most
popular method , among the patrons of the
deaf schools. What would a parent not give
to hear his child who ban never uttered a
sound , say "Papa. "
In Nebraska much has been done In this
line , and also to develop dormant hearing ,
Fifty young children out of 1DO , are now-
being trained and taught speech and hear
ing , Flno teachers are employed and won
derful results are obtained. Those who have
the least vestige ot hearing find It growing
stronger and better as they listen to catch
the faintest sound. Literally , we arc * teach
ing the deaf to hear .and the dumb to speak.
These who have followed this historical
sketch of the progress of deaf mute educa
tion , may with some time to spend a day
at the school for the deaf and see the work
ings ot the Institution. AU such will be
heartily welcomed at any time.

SOME INTERESTING REMINISCENCES
Here One Woman Recalled Meeting Her Favorite Hostess Who Were a Ruler in Life.
Very few of those now living in this city can have any realization of the privations, not to say hardships, that were endured by the pioneer ladies who came here at an early date. A few "claim shanties" were scattered at distant intervals over this beautiful plateau and were eagerly taken by those who were fortunate enough to secure them. Here was seldom more than one room in them, so that no servants could be kept, even if there were any. Many an amusing story could have been witnessed if the friends who had been left behind could have peered in at the door and have seen the attempts made at cooking by those who never cooked before. A description of one of the homes might be of interest. A friend of ours owned a "claim shanty" that stood on the hill west of what is now Farnam Street, and he very kindly offered it to us, saying he would have it plastered and fixed up if we wished it. We, of course, accepted it at once, and as soon as possible it was ready, and we moved into it late one evening, very happy to have a "home." I remember saying in a letter to a friend that it consisted of "upstairs, downstairs, and cellar," the upstairs being just high enough to stand erect in the center of the room, provided one was not very tall. The stairs were nothing but a ladder, home made at that, in one corner of the room, held in place by a trunk. It was some time before I succeeded in going up and down gracefully. I happened to be upstairs when our first callers came and in my effort to get down quietly caught my foot on one of the rungs (or rather squares) of the ladder and landed on the aforementioned trunk so suddenly as to bring everyone in the room to their feet. It took away all the formality of the introduction, however. I wonder if Mr. and Mrs. Hanscom remember that episode. They lived about half a mile north of the "cottage" just described and had what seemed to others a house that was almost palatial. It contained three rooms, I believe, besides a kitchen, and had many comforts that few had in those days, including a cradle that held a rosy-cheeked, curly-haired baby girl, who is now grown to womanhood and has babies of her own. Another house standing where Creighton College now stands was built by a nephew of the late Rev. Ruben Gaylord, but was afterward occupied by Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Lyons, who have for many years resided in Colorado. A one-story house stood just in the street where the Stokes and Maul house now stands on Farnam Street, and was kept as a boarding house by "Kentucky" Wood and his wife. (That was not his name, but was given him to distinguish him from another of the same name.) It was decidedly a "high-toned" boarding house, although the partitions were made of unbleached cloth, and the floor of the dining room was covered with sawdust. Judges Lockwood and Bradly, two of the territorial judges, boarded there and a dinner was given in their honor by the landlord and his wife. Governor and Mrs. L. B. Cumming, Colonel and Mrs. C. V. Smith, Dr. George L. Miller and myself were among the invited guests. My invitation was brought to me by a man who came to deliver a load of wood and very kindly offered me a "ride in his cart," which I accepted; so, while the wood was being removed, I dressed myself and was rather horrified to find the "cart" drawn by a pair of oxen. Nothing was said, however, and after various attempts to mount I succeeded and took my seat on a board that was declared to be clean, for he had "wiped it with his handkerchief," which was a bandanna of heroic size. The oxen started; the seat was rather slippery, and in order to save myself from pitching out headfirst I was obliged to lay violent hands on my escort. I reached my destination in safety, however, and found dinner nearly over, but there was still enough turkey, coffee, bread, and butter left to supply all needs. That was the first dinner party ever given in Omaha.
Governor and Mrs. Cumming boarded at the Douglas House, and their rooms were often filled with the "elite" of this young and growing city. Mrs. Cumming was then, as now, very popular, and in the little gatherings which were very frequent, considering the scarcity of room, she was the trading light. She was always ready and willing to assist in any good work, and wherever there was sickness she was sure to be found. Mrs. Thomas Davis was another one who was always doing good. She was the mother of the late Mrs. Herman Kountz, who at that time was the only white "little girl" here. Still another one who was always acting the part of the Christian Samaritan was Mrs. C. Estabrook. No one was ever turned away from her door who needed help, and she could always be found at the bedside of the sick and suffering. Mrs. A. D. Jones lived at that time at what was called "Park Wild," in a one-story log or frame house that was afterward occupied by G. M. Dodge, the distinguished officer, so well and widely known to the whole country as the chief engineer of the Union Pacific railroad.
Among others who were here and whose daughters, Mrs. Edwin Patrick and Mrs. S. A. Hoot, with their children and grandchildren, are still with us, was Mrs. L. G. Sch Goodwill, who lived in the "Kentucky" Wood house that I have already mentioned, located near the corner of Thirteenth and Farnam streets. She afterward built the brick house that still stands on the corner of Fifteenth and Davenport streets.
One of the most prominent women of the white settlement of Omaha at that day was Mrs. John M. Thayer, whose home at that time may be said to have been the first civilized appearing home. It was actually plastered, clapboarded, and shingled. The entire community envied her somewhat impressive residence; it was in very strong contrast, however, with the beautiful brick house which General Thayer afterward built and occupied for several years on the corner of Sixteenth and Davenport streets.
Mrs. Samuel Rogers, Mrs. F. Davidson, Mrs. Thomas O'Connor, Mrs. William Snowden, Mrs. O. H. Selden, Mrs. Hadley Johnson, and Mrs. Harrison Johnson were among the first women who lived in Omaha. Mrs. A. J. Poppleton may be classed among the number, although at that time she was living in our sister city, and was one of the trailing young ladies there.
Of course, it will be seen that I am only writing of the wives and mothers who lived in Omaha in the years of 1858 and 1859. As I have said before, almost every lady was obliged to do her own work, but for all that, she had plenty of time for enjoyment, and many pleasant gatherings were held at the different homes, besides the dances held at the Douglas house.
The Indians at that time were very numerous, and we were often called upon to dispense hospitality to them. Among the Omahas was a chief bearing the somewhat name of "White Cow." He was very friendly, and whenever hosted would stay over night at our house. A simple blanket was all he required for a bed, and after smoking his pipe he would "wrap the drapery of his couch about him and lie down to pleasant dreams." He was tall, erect and a splendid specimen of physical manhood, more than six feet in height, and in all respects a complete gentleman. He was also the orator of his people and never lost an opportunity to write a specimen; in this matter not very widely different from some of his white brethren. His features were peculiar to his race, but were much marred by a badge of what he called dishonor, in the form of a black rag that he wore tied over his upper lip and fastened on the top of his head. In his younger days he had had an encounter with his ancient enemy, a Sioux Indian, from whom he received a wound, and his upper lip carried a scar which his badge was intended to conceal. It is a part of the tradition that White Cow made a vow that he would always wear it until he had met a Sioux and killed him. Suffice it to say, he wore the badge to his grave. It may be added that the Indians paid our people frequent visits, accompanied by their squaws. The men would enter the houses without waiting for an invitation, oftentimes the first herald of their presence being a rather dirty hand extended toward one, and a call for food for their papooses, but their squaws would content themselves with remaining outside and flattening their noses against the windows.
Our little city at that time was entirely cold of sidewalks or fences, and though the streets were all named, no one paid the least attention to them, the only mark being an occasional wagon track. When any of our people became rich enough to own a cow, he usually pastured them where the New York Life building now stands, and the few horses that were here had their speed tested in running races from Farnam Street northward on Sixteenth Street.
There are many other interesting incidents that occur to me, but I have already taken too much time and space. I have written this article that the present mothers, wives, and daughters of our large and prosperous city may know of the women who left friends, families, and comforts in the east to come with brave and ambitious young men to share their lot and labors in laying the foundations and building up the institutions of a great city and state. HARRIET E. MILLER.
To thee, noble flower, Thy peerless golden glory Is now emblazoned on Nebraska's crest. May thy herald proclaim her wondrous story, And like thee, monarch of the mighty West. No mortal hand assisted at thy sowing. The stars wept tears upon the barren earth; The dewy clouds, knelt down to kiss them, Flowing, When forth The travail of thy glorious birth. And since, each glowing constellation Has shared its splendors with thee, Golden God, Has taught thy golden heart, hymns of oblation That Heaven's stars breathe to the Triune God.
In vain, Aeolus and his wind gods revel And scatter devastation through each bower, The violets wither, roses proud disheveled; Thy scepter still defies his blighting power. The pioneer beheld thy pristine beauty, Where for his dwelling thou bedecked the sod. Thy very life went out in love and duty Upon Penates' altar, Golden God. When through old Nature's heart each warm pulsation Grows feebler, as the dying year grows old. Cast of thy race! o'er all the desolation, Shines out undimmed thy diadem of gold.
Full, matchless flower! Long may thy golden glory Flare out upon Nebraska's giant breast. Her fair escutcheon glittering with thy And with her, rule forever the mighty West.

Mrs. A. H. Stuckey, Broken Bow, Neb., March 6, 1903.
A Day of Joy, Especially for the Country Folk.
"In the beautiful month of May." It is not so very long since the celebration of May Day has assumed any importance in this country. If many other customs brought from foreign countries to ours have gained here their full citizenship, this cannot be said as far as the celebration of the May Day is concerned.
The American is it may perhaps not sound very polite and courteous, but nevertheless it is a fact more for the practical than the ideal side of life - and to induce him to make one of his business days a holy day there must be either, religious or patriotic motives, or both of them. With the celebration of the May Day neither of these motives can enter into the consideration. Therefore, it is the "crown of creation," the woman who celebrates the May Day in our land as far as one can speak of any celebration here at all.
As it happens in Omaha this year, the ladies are coming before the public on this day with the edition of a leading daily paper, written and managed entirely by ladies, surely a May Day celebration and a concession to the ideal, to which men perhaps never could nor would rise.
Quite otherwise are things in Europe. In most of the countries of the continent the May Day celebration is an ancient custom, a custom known and observed by the people for many centuries and in the fullest sense of the word a public feast. It is the same in the north, near the eternal Ice; it is the same in Sweden and Norway, in Denmark and even in some parts of far Russia. It is the same throughout all Germany, in Switzerland and away down in Italy, in France and Spain. It is the same in the vast empire of Austria-Hungary, with its many-tongued nations. Everywhere the 1st of May is celebrated as a day of feasting and joy, especially among the country people. For those, the 1st of May is a day of cheerfulness, a day waited for anxiously by young and old, because then they enjoy music and song, all sorts of popular plays and last, but not least, a grand ball on the public squares, where often even the "grandpa" risks a little dance with "grandma." It is a day of joy and amusement, not disturbed by any lack of harmony.
Of course, it is quite natural that every country, even different parts of each country, have their own peculiarities connected with this day. But one thing is true everywhere: the living generation having received the tradition of this feast from their ancestors so as to make it a real and innocent amusement for all people without distinction, will leave it to their offspring just the same, pure and harmonious.
Whoever has had an opportunity to study the feasts and customs of the country people in Germany will have noticed the fact that while both sexes take part together in these amusements, they always keep themselves strictly within the limits of decency and morality.
What is the origin of the May Day celebration?
It was already well known to the old Romans, and from their time to the present this day has been observed. By the Romans, the month of May, the fifth month of the year, was named after the goddess, Maia. Maia was the oldest of the Pleiades and by Jupiter the mother of Mercury, the messenger and interpreter of the gods.
The Romans adored her, with Flora, goddess of spring, and the blossom month was devoted to her. At that time, the people celebrated the arrival of the long-awaited guest by joyful amusements in which all, rich and poor, old and young, took part. In those ancient times, the poets already made their odes and songs to the "beautiful month of May," and those, who followed them, from the writers of the church songs who dedicated their poems to the "Queen of May," the blessed Virgin Mary, down to the miners of the Middle Ages, and from them to the poets of the present time, did not miss the chance to pay their tribute to the May. In the German poetry of our times we yearly find some new songs in this, a little over-worked direction. The family journal of the Fatherland, which brings Germany's young poets to the front, will, in their May edition also this year, as sure as there are stars in the sky, publish a whole lot of new poetry, in which we are informed "the May has come,"
The joy brought by the well-received fact that the blossom month is here again, that spring, with all the glory attributed to her, has won the fight over the harsh fellow winter, is at the bottom of all May day celebrations and makes the first of May a heartily welcomed and general observed day of festival in most of the European countries. In most of the principal cities "over the great lake," May day is observed in one way or the other. In Vienna, the capital of Austria, commencing at high noon, a cavalcade of hundreds and hundreds of vehicles is formed in line, and, headed by the Imperial coaches and those of the high aristocracy, turns out to the Prater, the world-renowned public park, which covers many miles and is one of the greatest of its kind. For more than a hundred years it has been a place of public resort, dear to the heart of every true Viennese, and there the day is spent in joy and amusements of various kinds peculiar to the Prater. Whoever owns a carriage or can afford to hire one participates in the Praterfahrt (Prater parade.) In Paris, all who are in society, in fact, "tout Paris," as the Frenchman says, takes a ride on May day to the Bois de Boulogne, another beautiful park of worldwide fame, and to Auteuil, where on this day the great spring races begin.
The same day over in old England those people who are or wish to be known as members of the fashionable world, celebrate May day at the Epsom races, which give, in the eyes of all sport lovers, to the victor greater honors than the premiership of the United Kingdom. In Spain, at Seville and other places, the May is inaugurated by bullfights and other national festivities, while down on the Riviera, at Monaco and Monte Carlo, the spring season, commencing May day, finds a good many representatives of "la mode," and I beg your pardon, "demi-monde," the latter, of course, of the highest style, all assembled at the notorious green table. Upon those people the simple and old-fashioned festival, which stirs the heart of the rustics in the valleys of Germany, or upon the high mountains in the Tyrol, would hardly make any impression; to make life worth living to them it needs a little more than old songs and a concert, given by a band consisting of homo talent. Therefore, they go and seek their pleasure in the excitement of "rouge et noir" and other plays, where one can become Croesus or beggar, just as his lot falls, within a moment.
Of course, still much more could be said about May day celebrations in Europe. But there is a saying, come to us from times past, that a woman never finds the end when she once begins talking. Therefore, in order to contradict that saying, I shall close. To the reader who followed me: Goodbye and "Au revoir!"

Till THE MORNING IN OMAHA.
When duty calls, the Brownie band
Will always lend a helping hand.
Nor shirk, when called some work to do,
But of it take a cheerful view.
So when the leader of the throng
Of willing Brownies, brave and strong,
Called to his band, with eager ear
All came their leader's words to hear.
Said he, "The ladies of this town
Have, it is rumored, broken down
The ancient prejudice that men
Alone can wield the public pen;
So they have taken for a day
The paper from the men away,
And will together run The Bee
And do the work themselves, you see.
So let us, as a courteous band,
To these good ladies lend a hand;
For to the Black, who needs it, FO,
The profits of the paper go.
They even now have taken the day-
It is, I think, the 1st of May.
We must be quick, if we would make
Much headway ere that morning break."
When night in shadows forth did creep
The Brownies from their caves did peep,
As quiet streets they gladly see.
They quickly hurry to The Bee.
Said one, "The work we'll do real spry.
And now I'll go and fix the press."
So to their tasks the Brownies flew,
Some cut, some wrote, some marked with
Blue.
But all were careful that they should
Do just the finest that they could,
So that the world might justly say,
The paper on the first of May
Was really better than -when
Edited and published by the men.
They worked with zeal, they worked with
Will,
And, better still, they worked with skill;
And when the sun on first of May
Chased all the mists and shades away,
The Brownies, with their task well done,
Declared it had been real good fun;
Then ere the sun had climbed the sky
The Brownies to their homes did hie.

WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT
Mrs. Cleveland's Grumbling to a Wife
Some Interests Features of the
Now Regime in Washington
Society.
In consenting to write an article on the topic selected for me "Twelve Years' Experience in Washington Society" for the Issue of The Bee of May 1, to be edited exclusively by women, I did so thoughtlessly, scarcely realizing I was entering upon a new role, never before having written a line for publication. My efforts will naturally be crude and I fear uninteresting on a subject which should and could be most entertaining under proper treatment. Washington, the seat of government of our great republic, with its magnificent public buildings, broad and well-paved avenues, lined on either side with beautiful shade trees; its many and well-kept parks filled with rare, blooming trees and shrubs and flowering plants, a perfect joy in the springtime; its fine residences; its well-groomed men and gaily attired women; elegant equipages and spirited horses, thronging, at certain hours of the day, the streets in the fashionable northwest quarter, on social matters bent, is a most attractive city to the stranger, but to be in and a part of the social life of this gay little capital of ours has a charm that can scarcely be understood by the uninitiated, especially those who believe they have no taste for or inclination to participate in the doings of "polite society," considering it made up of trifling and purely worldly affairs. It is, in fact, quite the reverse. The "inner circle" is composed largely of highly cultivated people and one meets therein not only distinguished statesmen and leaders of thought, but persons of renowrn of our own country and from foreign parts; men and women who are famous because of the books they have written, pictures they have painted, scientific researches they have made, or good deeds they have done. To come in contact and have converse with these is a privilege to be sought for, not ignored. True, there is a giddy and frivolous element us giddiness and frivolity pointing the pen of the newspaper writer, who, in his desire for the sensational, exaggerates but it is not so bad as it is painted.
The observance of prescribed forms of social etiquette is more strictly adhered to in Washington than elsewhere; in this country. Representatives from foreign courts are there in official capacity, and among diplomats the established court etiquette is followed most punctiliously. The little conventionalties mean much and, to disregard them would lead to awkward, and even grave blunders. Their breach means more than a display of ignorance, and would sometimes import insult when none is intended. The diplomat longest in place is known as the dean of the diplomatic service, and as such is the highest in honor of his grade of the corps, now divided into ambassadors and ministers. With their showy dress they add largely to the spectacular features of Washington, as they ornament it by their varied attainments and world wisdom.
In the exchange of cards there is much meaning, and while there is not the necessity elsewhere of adhering to the strict forms that govern the Capitol City it might be well to adopt some of its methods in card distributing. The etiquette of other cities of making calls is reversed in Washington. The newcomer makes the first call upon those of higher or equal rank. At the opening of the season which is coincident with the convening of Congress, it is the duty of all in official life to call promptly on the family of the president and vice president, chief Justice and associate justices of the supreme court, the president pro tem of the senate and the speaker of the house. Senators take precedence over cabinet officers, and members of both houses of Congress call upon seniors in service in their respective houses. The caller leaves one card of her own, and two for each man of her household. If there be more than one woman in the family called upon it is not customary to leave extra cards, the turning down of the right end of the cards indicating that the call is intended for all members of the family. In making calls of condolence or congratulation an expression of "deep sympathy" or "hearty congratulations" is written on the card. Every woman in official life at least, has her day "at home." Mrs. Cleveland receives such of her friends as have had an invitation from her that they will be welcome, on Mondays, between 5 and 6 o'clock, and on Saturdays, between 3 and 4, she receives the general public. This is not the invariable custom of every mistress of the white house, each one following her own inclination. Mrs. Cleveland's "Mondays" are disappointing to those who wish and hope not only to see, but to have a friendly and informal chat with her. But she is so charming and much beloved that her host of friends crowd the small red room in which she receives, and one can have but little attention from her other than the hearty shake of the hand, which is her characteristic. Mrs. Cleveland is noted for the cordial greeting she extends to everyone, high or low, old or young, who calls upon her. An occurrence on one of her "Saturday afternoons" shows how her kindly manner endears her to all.
A little unkempt girl was in line and as she made her modest courtesy, Mrs. Cleveland bent over and warmly grasped her hand as she spoke a pleasant word to her, which made the child's face beam with happiness. After being "passed on" she turned and backed herself out, keeping her eyes on the "sweet lady," utterly oblivious to her surroundings. In passing cut through the main corridor, from which a door leads into the receiving room, with a low open-work brass gate, to prevent people entering that way, the child stopped and climbed upon the gate, leaned over and craned her neck to get another look at Mrs. Cleveland. As an officer, whose duty it was to keep the crowd moving, attempted to lift her down she clung to the gate, crying: "Oh; don't take me away, don't take me away. I never saw her before and I'll never see her again—the sweet lady."
Monday is justice's day, Tuesday representative's, Wednesday the wife of the vice president receives and it is also "cabinet day," and on Thursday the wives of senators are "at home." The houses of officials are open to everyone desiring to call, and thronged with people, some of whom one never meets at any other time, the number reaching into the hundreds, and in some instances between 2,000 and 3,000 have paid their respects during an afternoon. Usually a dainty tea table is set and a cup of tea is offered and today this spirit of the age points with guide to Omaha today.
Tea, with a wafer or thin sandwich, is served, although of late date refreshments have been dispensed with by some, because of the abuse of this hospitality. Tea is such a favored beverage in Washington that it is always served with refreshments of any kind and at all times. At some houses a cup of tea is served every day at 5 o'clock, an hour when one's friends drop in informally on days other than days "at home," after the English fashion, and so fond are some of their cup of tea at this hour that it becomes almost a dissipation. With the exception of the wife of the president, who makes no calls, these first calls are returned as promptly as possible. To return all calls in person is a physical impossibility, and much of one's indebtedness must necessarily be cancelled by sending cards. To keep an account of all these visits is no small matter. For this purpose, a book is kept, in which is entered the name, address, reception day and date, when made and when returned, of every call. With the booking of engagements, replying to invitations and numerous other communications, which come to the wives of officials of prominence, together with their private correspondence for the rest of the day, the life of a Washington woman in society is a busy one. Many keep a secretary, but those who do not have few leisure moments.
These, exacting duties may seem unnecessary to the outsider, but a clever woman will not neglect them, for she can do much to advance her husband's interests and those of his people, not only by a gracious manner in her own house, but by strictly observing these established courtesies for to be polite is to be kind, and kindness engenders friendships, and friends are better than enemies in matters not only personal, but legislative.
These women, busy as they are, find time however, for other pursuits. A few years ago the "Washington Club" was organized by and exclusively for women. It began in modest fashion, but with good business ability it has been enabled to purchase, and now occupies a fine building in a most desirable portion of the city. It is handsome, furnished, with cozy reading rooms, tea rooms, a large music room, and in fact has everything to make it attractive, even to card rooms, where a harmless but high scientific game of whist is occasionally indulged in. A most delightful feature of the club is the largely attended meetings, held in the music room; on Tuesday mornings for discussing current events, and for book reviews on Friday mornings. The club has upwards of 300 members, many of them admirable society women. There is also the Literary society, of long standing, having among its members some of the brightest and most scholarly men and women of this country. The Geographical and Scientific society, composed of erudite men, many with world-wide reputations, add largely to the charm of Washington life, and show that there are other pursuits than the fashionable frivolities.
The 5 o'clock teas, which are much in vogue, are very different affairs from the afternoon receptions. Invitations are extended to men as well as women, and elaborate refreshments are served. Flowers and sals and soft-colored lights are distributed over the table and through the house. Of late years it has been the popular thing to launch the young debutante on the social wave at these teas. To leave cards at these entertainments is considered bad form. They should be acknowledged by a call, as much as a dinner, and who would ever think of leaving a card at a dinner?
Washington social entertainment reaches its culmination in the dinner. In no other city in this country has dinner giving attained the proportions of a fine art. They are as frequent as they are charming, and it is not unusual for one "in the whirl" to have several invitations for the same evening. The plain engraved card, issued usually in the name of the hostess only, is sent out from one to four weeks before the dinner, which is commonly served at 8 o'clock.
Each gentleman on arrival receives a small envelope containing the name of the lady he is to escort. Particular care is given to ensure to the dining room in due form of reception and the placing of these highest in honor in appropriate order. The hostess is frequently much perturbed in deciding who among the guests shall be placed in the foremost positions at table. When mistakes occur that are such, and not intentional lights, no sensible person takes offense, but there are queer stories told at times of ignorant foreigners who have become enraged at being below their position at table, and not in accord with their idea of their rank. The inner table is in the best form when it has the least ostentatious show and glitter. Fine linen, dainty china, sparkling glass and right silver joined to beautiful but not over-abundant flowers, without other display, make the most attractive table. It is the constant effort of accomplished dinner-givers not to keep their guests over an hour at the table. This is not due to well-trained service and simple menu, which are much more popular than the old-time dinners with their many courses; when it was not uncommon to sit at table three hours. The conversation is general, and brilliant talkers, who are also good listeners and not disposed to monopolize all subjects, are sought after. Dinners to men are frequent and rumor has it that many and important executive and legislative matters have received solution and settlement among statesmen seated "around the mahogany."
If I were to be asked the chief charm of social life in our capital, I would say it was its kindly courtesy. Among the well-bred and highly cultivated, the saying of harsh and unpleasant things is seldom heard; the language of compliment and appreciation falls upon the ear in polite circles.
These are but glimpses of Washington life. While there is much to enjoy, its pleasures are not unalloyed. To those in public life there is interference with domesticity and constant disturbance to the home life. Most disappointing also is the constant change - pleasant acquaintanceship ripens into close friendship and this is severed by the transformation of American political life. The severest disappointment in this regard is to those who remain in Washington rather than those who leave it, for to leave it is to return to the home and meet again the old time-fried and true friends with whom there is a common interest and a single purpose.
EUGENE S. MANDERSON.
THE SERIES THAT
What Has Been Done to Bring the World to Time Village I Do Not Hear,
In the age of miracles the deaf were made to hear, and the dumb to speak. An evil dumb spirit was cast out of a man and he was free and happy. In books of fiction we read of deaf and dumb servants, who could hear no secrets and tell no tales.
In ages past, no education, no training was thought possible for the deaf and dumb. They were as evil spirits, to be avoided and imprisoned. Aristotle declared that deaf mutes could not be educated, and it was impossible to reach them by any method.
During the great intellectual revival of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the deaf, as a class, remained ignorant and untaught. It was in the latter part of the seventeenth century that the great-hearted Abbe de l'Epee founded a school for the deaf in Paris, which became famous throughout Europe. The success of this school led to the opening of others, and at the beginning of the present century the first school for the deaf was founded at Hartford by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet. In the United States fifty years ago, there were six schools for the deaf. Now there are seventy-nine, with an attendance of over 8,000 children.
The pupils in these schools are as bright, as happy, as much given to good and evil, as difficult to govern, as affectionate and thankful as any other children would be gathered in from average homes. Devoid of bearing and possibly keener of sight and suspicion, it requires teachers of peculiar tact and talent to develop their intellects. Teaching the deaf is a profession in itself, unlike public school work, too often made a stepping stone to something else. A teacher must have inexhaustible resources, superior force of character, a kindly heart, a graceful bearing, and the grace of God in his heart. He must go into the work to stay and to work while he stays. It takes several years before he is at his best. There is no calling in which a person needs to be so original or think out so many ways and means of getting at the minds and hearts of the little ones; as in the schools for the deaf. Give us fine teachers, capable matron, first-class supervisors, a good cook, and let each one attend to his own special feature of the work and nobody else, and the superintendent will smile as he sits in his office and works up schemes and devices for the further education and development of his school.
All of our deaf children can talk in the sign language. Years ago, when schools were new, all were taught by signs. A daily lesson from the superintendent to the teachers, handed down to the children, kept a uniform system throughout the schools. The children read in signs, talked in signs, recited in signs. But it was found later on, that this sign method was a hindrance to the development of language. Spelling out the words and sentences became more popular, and the general use of signs in the schoolrooms has been discontinued in the advanced schools. A constant use of the English language by spelling, writing, or speaking it, has been found to be the only way to teach the children language, and language teaching is the thing found most difficult to teach to our deaf people.
The sign language in itself is expressive and beautiful. Children understand it, and many who are dull, or uneducated, or too slow to master the use of the English language, can be taught through the medium of signs.
Speech and lipreading are taught in many schools. This is the most difficult, but most popular method, among the patrons of the deaf schools. What would a parent not give to hear his child who has never uttered a sound, say "Papa." In Nebraska, much has been done in this line, and also to develop dormant hearing. Fifty young children out of 150, are now being trained and taught speech and hearing. Fine teachers are employed and wonderful results are obtained. Those who have the least vestige of hearing find it growing stronger and better as they listen to catch the faintest sound. Literally, we are teaching the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.
These who have followed this historical sketch of the progress of deaf mute education, may with some time to spend a day at the school for the deaf and see the workings of the institution. All such will be heartily welcomed at any time.

EASTER BONNETS AND FLOWERS
Some Notable events of the Metro New York Community
Compiled Upon by the Equinox Young Woman New Yorker
It is a new thing for the country's metropolis to feel poor, but in the past winter there has been something in the air that bespoke hard times even here, and although the clubs and hotels have been well patronized and the streets and shops thronged with well-dressed pleasure-seekers, the way of the wage-earner has been hard, the artistic and the charitable fields have had a drought, and the east side's "other half" has suffered intensely. But times are better now, the prospect begins to brighten, and with the coming of the spring and Barnum's circus, with its swimming pool twenty feet deep, into which a man dives from the top of Madison Square Garden building, the people have fresh courage, the tones of the hand organ take on a more hopeful strain, and with that old Dutch pluck, New York's best inheritance, the city blossoms forth as a rose, and is unusually brilliant in its Easter dress and bonnet. There are perfect flower gardens about the up-town florists and on the ladies' heads, while almost every street corner and parlor window on Fifth avenue, particularly those of the elegant Hotel Waldorf, exhibit some lovely floral displays.
Speaking of Fifth avenue, it is a notable fact, especially to foreigners, that where all other great cities have a number of show streets, drives and boulevards, where beauty and fashion congregate, in New York there has been but the one short avenue, beginning at Waverly Place, and terminating in Central park. That charming cast in a desert of brown stone fronts will soon merit its name, for in Harlem and beyond building is going on rapidly now, and the old familiar country lanes will exist only in past history. The new Columbia college, and St. John's Cathedral, that will take ten years to build, are well under way.
The true New Yorker, who has always lamented the lack of a first-class university, now rejoices at the sight of the new University of New York, with its fine dormitory, gymnasium and campus, on an ideal site, with a view embracing the Hudson, the Palisades, the Jersey hills, and much of New York proper. The new library, that combines the Lenox and Astor, will probably be built on the original site of the former, and will be a feature of Greater New York.
Meantime, the city is entertaining itself in its usual fashion. Although the theaters have shown a scarcity of anything really fine or great, and have supported much that was inferior, there have been a few good plays, among which are "Madame Sans-Gene," (the honors of which being equally divided between Mine, Bejano in the original, and Katherine Kildare in her English version) and Crane's new comedy, "His Wife's Father," in which humor and pathos are happily blended. Monologue entertainments have been very popular. One day the public amuses itself with the clever imitations of Miss Cissy Loftus, who imitates all the great lights from Dominard to Bernhardt, and the next day it is glad to be instructed in Shakespeare and the Bible by Locke. Richardson, who draws, as usual, appreciative audiences of culture and refinement.
For all true music lovers, the four weeks' Wagner season has furnished much enjoyment, with the rich, free, timeless volume of Max Alvary, and the dramatic fervor of Fritz Schumacher. One of the most interesting features of an unusually brilliant opera season has been the production of Verdi's "Falstaff," in which the splendid acting of Mauro and the voices of Scalchi and Emma Eames show off to the best advantage.
Among the celebrities who have delighted large audiences, have been the imposing Ysaye, whose violin music is melody sublime, and Adolphe Aus der Ohe, whose suppleness hands seem to sprinkle music over the piano keys. There have also been the usual number of musical prodigies. Our own wonder-child, Miss Augusta Croll of Chicago, a prodigy surpassing even those she accompanies in her own performances.
Young men of extraordinary talents and intelligence, have just given a concert of their own at the Madison Square Garden Concert Hall, and are now going to make a professional tour through Europe to show what America can do in that line, without an European instruction. The church and lecture platform have been ably filled by men as Parkhurst, the wily Conan Doyle and women such as Lady Henry Somerset with her earnest words and charming personality. The woman question, seems, for the time being, to have given place to the bicycle, which, while hardly a new feature, has the newness here of having been adopted by the four hundred. Every day, but especially on Sunday morning, the boulevard and Riverside Drive present a fearful and wonderful sight with their moving panorama of cyclists in every conceivable color and costume; in single file, groups, and couples, in blouses, bloomers, and blazers; men, women, and children, and even babies strapped onto a cradled seat in front of the wheel's handles, a whirring, whirling, whizzing crowd, and more dangerous to cross than Broadway's jerking and defiant cable cars. It is so much the thing, the fad, now, that another track for its exclusive use, to extend from Yonkers to New York, over the old aqueduct, is being talked of and enthusiastically hoped for by the wheelmen themselves. Everywhere in New York, the people rush and hurry and show the same progressive spirit as their brothers in the west.
ADENE VAN GIESON
Pretty Hazel, strolling through,
Nose in the air, circles and brown eyes
In the greenest flight of spring,
Found a four-leafed clover growing,
Plucked it, placed it in her shoe.
Lucky little tallyman!
Hazel, glancing across the hearing,
Spied a strangely formed appearing;
Flushed, to see him slowly nearing
By the path her own way ran.
Very sober grew the man,
This appeared, upon reflection,
Like a piece of God's direction,
Guiding her to a selection
From the hearts at her feet laid.
Gideon, down the grass-lined lane,
Dreamy fancies idly linking,
Found a horse shoe, dropped it clinking
In his splendid pocket, thinking,
Fortune may some favor deign,
Sauntered slowly round the bend.
It was then he saw the vision,
Urging him to quick decision,
To rely on luck's prevision,
And his fear and doubting end.
When across their lingering feet
Low the western light was steaming;
The red sunset's golden gleaming:
Paled before two faces, beaming
With love's happiness complete.
So, I think, 'tis often true,
Life's coy joys might be won over,
If we only could discover,
Light at hand, a four-leaf clover,
Or a horse's cast-off shoe.

In this way : t
The aim of our public chools today Is to
prepire the child for the position ho Is to
occupy In the future. The schools of Omaha ,
which stand second to none In the country.
ore doing this preparatory work. The child
In expected to "know" very little , but his
alms , his thoughts , his very movements am
BO rounded , so controlled , so guided that the
Imprint Is quickly observed as the child ma-
tures.
A short resume ot our school system will
be most timely.
The child ot five enters the kindergarten ;
here he Is taught to us ? his little hands , and ,
aided by a skillful , Ingenious and cheery
teacher , hla mind soon grasp ? what he seea ,
hears and feels. I am not a strong advocate
of the kindergarten for all classes.
A child of five years , from a good , sub
stantial home , with a careful , thoughtful
mother , one that can explain the peculiar
workings of an electric mechanical toy , that
recognizes the primary colors , right from
loft , truth from falsehood , has very little need
of preparation for the primary grade. Let
[ n the kindergartener spend her tlmo and ener
* gies upon the poor llttlsvalfs that see noth
ing but strife and worry , sorrow and priva
tion , and are often not oven familiar with
the English language. It Is true , and a pain
ful truth , that many of the children of our
wealthier citizens are as Illy equipped , both
morally and physically , as their poorer class-
matci , but this Is th ? fault of their surround
ings , and tad It Is Indeed.
The thoughful little fellow of six , who will
tell you that he thinks the sun moves , be
cause ho has been told that It rises , will
quickly show tha discerning teacher that all
he needs Is guidance , and as soon as he has
mastered the three K'a he will be able to take
care of himself.
The child leaves the kindergarten at the
ago of six years , and Is supposed to begin at
once the studies that are to fit him for his
life's work. Then why not leave the sticks
and beads and glmcracks of the kindergarten
behind ?
He Is ready to read and write and spell ,
and looks with disdain upon the playmate
that has not kept pace with him. Here Is
begun the relating- myths , the story to be
reproduced by the child , the nature work
where , after the planting ot a single seed , the
child observes Its development and growth.
How the peeping of a tiny leaf above the
earth gives rlso to expressions o Joy , and
' how by sketching the seed that has burst
does the child take his first true lesson.
The thought here engendered Is reproduced
In the language work ( and language Is the
center around which revolve all other
studies ) , sometimes a few crude and Illy-
worded sentences , but always to the point
and correct as to detail.
With the teacher In accord with her pupils ,
the child soon leains to think for himself.
Then he soon learns to read , not In the old
slnK-ionR way , but In the natural toiio so
surprising to the uninitiated ,
During this period the number work Is
not neglected , the child Is taught to count ,
not as many suppose , figures , figures , figures ,
but concretely. Not with sticks and shoe
pegs , but with thoughtfulness and accuracy.
Our child Is now ready for the next gradu ,
and from that passes to the higher primary
Grades.
Conversation work Is the essential feature
of all the studies. The child Is taught to
talk , the more the better , until ho Is able to
relate the minutest details.
In the fourth year geography Is the new
study to be pursued , but not the rote work of
yeara gene by , when the child named all the
capes down ono side of the map and up on
the other. Today he considers product ! ,
climatic features , the course of the rivers
and , by actual observance In maps of sand ,
seas , water-sheds , promontories , bays , lakes ,
Islands , etc. These we arc taught to see as
curved lines upon the map.
Our children are supplied with text-books ,
pencils , pens , erasers , slates , paper and even
drawing and writing books. Why , then ,
should the patrons ot the public schools of
Omaha refuse to contribute , periodically , a
few pannlos or nickels , when extras are to be
supplied ?
This year Is n year of retrenchment , and
the ! patrons who have never had to pur
chase a book or a pencil , should not bo the
ones to refuse to aid the causa of education.
This cry does not como from the poorer
clasies , but from those who can afford every
luxury , and who cannot have their plans or
Ideas Interfered with.
Arithmetic , grammar and geography are
the principal studies until the High school
is reached , and although observation and
conversation lessons are the rule , the day
has not yet como when drills may be
omitted.
These drills , skillful oral examinations , show
the Ingenious teacher ( and Omaha has many )
that her observation lessons have been di
gested.
Many facts must bo remembered , many
rules ara Ironclad , and the child , by constant
drills imbibes what his thoughtful and con
scientious teacher has imparted.
The pupil might not be nble to tell the
capital of the FIJI Islands or the number
ot boards used to make a box of Irrcgulai
and Inconceivable shap ? , but ho will bo nble
to tell you what constitutes a good citizen ,
also the current events of today , and Is able
to solve the problem * that confront us In
dally life.
By the collecting of small libraries In every
Individual school room , Is tha moral tone
elevated , and our children are ready for r
broader , truer and nobler life.
In our school system of Omaha wo nrc
tryliiR to surround the child with what li
morally best and purest , so that ho may
when ready to take up the battle , be- able t (
cope with the bravest.
The next generation will not bo the "sur
rival of the fittest. " because we hops ti
make all "fittest. " If I may usa the term.
Then , and only then , will the question a' '
the beginning of this article be answered
There will ba no need of the "new woman *
or "sidetracked man. " Doys and girls alike
will be equipped to win the laurels they sc
well deserve. C. S. n.

older cities ot this country , and valuable sta
tlsttcs ot the period ot growth in children
nil the effect of school life upon growth an
health have been made In recent years.
In the Popular Science Monthly for Is'ovem
her , ISOO. Prof. Key of Stockholm , states hi
conclusions from the study ot 18,000 schoc
children. Similar data have been obtalne
from Boston , where S4.695 pupils were exam
laed , and from other eastern cities. The
go to prove that similar conditions are toun
In the schools ot tills country. From such
Investigations wo may be nble , In time , to
determine nt what ages and at what sea
sons of the year the most Rtudy can best be
accomplished.
In one city , of the children examined , about
10 i > er cent Siavo defective eyesight. In most
cases neither the pupils nor his parents were
awnro of the defect. In such cases the dim-
cully Is not only liable to Increase , but the
pupil may appear stupid , lose courage , nnd
fall to Improve , when the real trouble Is that
ho cannot see , while- supposing that ho canoe
oo as well as anybody. The Bame Is true of
defective hearing , To relieve such unfortun
ate pupils , to watch over tlielr health , Is
worthy of great effort by any teacher or
board of education , and any Investigation
which brings such relief In any considerable
number of Instances , Is well repaid. Q. Stan
ley Hall said. "What shall It profit n student
to gain the whole world of knowledge and
lose his health ! " M.
The committee of fifteen Is llko the com-
mltto of ten , an outgrowth of the National
Educational association.
Iloth committee * were appointed by nn
authorltlvo boJy and both were granted the
use of a fund set apart for them by the di
rectors of the National Educational associa
tion. The work of the two committees puts
before the country In systematic manner the
question of the form , content and value of
the studies that enter Into the curricula of
elementary and secondary schools. From
this time on this specific question must be
faced , both In the study and In the school
room. Neither report makes nnd pretense
of finality , but both take rank as the great
est American contributions thus far made
to the scientific study of education. At a
time when public sentiment Is demanding
better trained teachers , nnd when great
cities llko New York and Brooklyn are
actively revising their school administra
tions , and others , llko Philadelphia , Chicago ,
Joston and lluffalo , are casting about fern
n Improved system of school organization ,
ho parts that deal with those subjects will
ccelva special attention and arouse special
nterest.

KlNUUUaAltTKX AND SCHOOL ,
omo 1'onltlve Opinion ! About These In-
tltutlon * .
It was suggested some tlmo ago that sta-
lutlcs bo gathered with regard to the kin-
lergarten. whether a child that has at-
onto ! the kindergarten does better worl
n the flrst , second and third grades than one
.hat has not.
"Several visits have been made to the
argor buildings with anil without kinder
lartens.
Where there Isno kindergarten the chllt
inters at 5 nnd begins the first grade al
mco. Eighty per cent of these pupils en-
er the second grade between the ages of (
ind 7 , and In no case has the principal ol
ho school felt the want of a kindergarten
Jut two of the buildings have had kinder
Bartons moro than ono year. This Infer
mco has been drawn : Unless there Is at
ixceptlonally fine teacher at the head o
.ho kindergarten the child had better cntei
-ho flrst grade at once , for wtlh the la )
llsclpllno of the Inexperienced and Illlerati
eacher the object for which the kinder
jartcn was introduced miscarries. As tin
work now stands there Is a large gap be
ween the kindergarten and the first grade
3f what coed Is the kindergarten if Iti
\ > ork Is not supplemented by or carried lnt <
' .ho next year's work ?
A kindergartener should be a mature
cultured woman of wide experience an <
much learning ; the kindergartens In chargi
of women not even High school graduate !
iaJ better bo discontinued.
There Is need of the kindergarten In thi
east and southeastern parts of the city
where the children are Illy prepared am
where the foreign element predominates. Thi
school llfo of these children Is but threi
years. Why not allow these children ti
enter the kindergarten at the ago of 3 am
discontinue the kindergarten's In the wes
and north parts of town , with perhaps om
exception ?
Now for the training school. There an
xbout thirty young women who have boei
oncourageJ to study for eighteen month
and who will soon bo waiting for position
that never come. It has been proven tha
each of the training rooms costs J75 , no
including the xpense of the training schoo
proper. Now , If the poor kindergarten
were closed nnd the expense of that ex
travagance , the training school , lopped on
thera would be fewer Inferior teacher
thrust upon us ; there would not be tha
awful cry of retrenchment and the school
would bo able to run for ten months.

Tim School System of Jiipnn.
The development of obedience , sympathy
and dignity Is the nlm of the Japanese edu
cational system , which Is compulsory and
secular , but not gratuitous. Much nttcn-
.Ion Is paid to the training of little children.
Its schools are divided Into kindergartens ,
iocondary , normal , professional and special ,
.ho last often being attached to universities ,
notably the Imperial university. Nearly all
are under government control nnd supported
) y the government and local taxation , though
themselves exempt from taxation. Boys
and girls nru taught together In the clomcn-
lary school , ecch city , town or village bo
ng obliged to support a sufficient number of ,
mch schools to accommodate all children
from six to fourteen. The normal schools
resemble ours , especially In the demanJ upon
: hem for women teachers. Yet they Include
more study of domestic economy than ours
Impart.
Upon graduation females must teach for
five years , but males for ten years.
The supplementary schools are many , even
unto a few for the teaching of arithmetic
alone.
In the lower schools , where the holidays
must not exceed ninety days a year , exclu-
lve of Sundays , pupils wear Japanese dresa ,
whllo In the higher schools anJ universities
European costumes are often seen.
Throughout the entire system of education
great stress Is laid upon obedience , just as
via lay It upon freedom. There are endless
educational societies with Ions names , the
public ones resembling our normal teachers' '
Institutes. SelectoJ , Boston Transcript.
The Board ot Education of Philadelphia
contemplates the opening of school grounds
after school hours , so that the children may
US9 them for play grounds. There Is no
reason why the brick pavements should not
be removed In order to prevent broken limbs
and other accidents which are ll.ible to occur
when children are obliged to play In such
paved yards.
Th3 movement for breathing spaces , city
parks and children's play grounds should re
ceive all encouragement. The majority of
Children must remain in the city during
summer , and the trolleyed streets and filthy
courts and alleys are not fit for them to
play In.
We understand that on e of the Janitors has
decided that a certain teacher must go , as
shs has made complaints enough. It Is
strange that In this enlightened ago the
teacher cannot understand that a criticism
of the professor of dust and ashes Is about
as safe as trilling with the business end of
a wasp.
An editorial' was noticed some time ago
concerning the social standing of teachers.
Women of culture and refinement who haye
always had position , have been able to keep
that position In society , teacher or not. .The
snobs nre the Ones who cannot enter society
and they are the ones that are always snubbed
by society's tnobs.
Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer , the well known
ex-president of Wcllesley college , won golden
opinions from men and women In a recent
talk given before the Massachusetts State
Teachers' association. The necessity for cul
ture , good breeding , lady like ways and
gracious deportment In the school room , as
well as out , was her theme. Shs was re
ceiving letters from school officials asking
for teachers with these qualifications flrst of
all , alter that what they could get. Thert
was a world of truth In all Mrs. Palmer said.
The day has gone by when a high pircentage
In examination results will atona for brusqueness -
ness In a teacher. Manners should be de
manded before mental arithmetic , and gra-
clousness before grammar.
So long as Boards of Education are com
posed of politicians using this office as a
stepping stone to something better , so long
will our schools bo mediocre. Intelligent ,
thinking men , who know the needs of a
school room , nnd whose ardor can ba toned
down by a few bright women , are the mem
bers of the future.
In every school house In the union there

In a town In Minnesota children under 1C

After a night of dancing , scarcely any break
fast the next day , can we expect a girl or boy

Dr. J. M. nice , who recently returned from
a European trip ot Inspection qf schools In
the Interest of The Forum , presents , as on
result of his study , the conclusion that the
American school system would gain much if
there were a method of limited state control
similar In a general way , but not In many
of Its details , to the German system. By
this method permanent educational experts
might be kept In charge of our schools , and
the demoralizing Influence ot politics with
drawn.
Music Is the language of the emotions , and
should have a large place In the school room
Melody should always take precedence of har
mony , and songs should be ung that are
full of the heart's power and feelings. Music
as taught In Omaha takes first rank.
Which one of Oin.Vaa's rival cities can

A teacher who asked a girl to purchase a
grammar received the following note from
the little girl's mother : "I do not deslra that
Mattle Ingage In grammar , as I prefer her
to Ingag In moro useful studies , and can
learn her to write and spuak proper my-selC.
I went tlirough two grammars and can't say
as they did me no good. I prefer Maity to
Ingage in German and drawing , vokal music

Among the resolutions adopted by the Na
tional Council of Womsn cf the United States
at Washington was the following :
"Ilesolvcd , That In the best Interests of
education , and as a matter of justice , we ask
that women as well as men shall bo elected
or appointed on all school boards In the sev
eral states and territories.
"We heartily endorse the effort to glvo the
youth of the country scientific temperance
instruction In Vae public schools.
"We earnestly requeit all the school boards
In the United States to adopt the kindergar
ten method , and to combine manual with
mental training as a fundamental part of our
public school eystem. "
"This school keeping of ours Is not n
makeshift , a catch-penny device , a. means
of tiding over an unforseen bar in our busi
ness career , a ready resort from the tedium
of housekeeping , a flirtation wlUi small liter
ature , a free fountain by the wayside , where
the tired traveler may slake his thirst and
J pass on but a high calling where , If anywhere -
' where , are required Intellectual attainments ,
t an active Intelligence , tact , special training
and that well-balanced self-poise which we
sometimes call manhood and womanhood. "

missed. The poor , whom ho loved and for
whom ho worked to the best of his great
head and heart power , miss him , tor his
sympathy was always given with substantial
aid.
Known nn a sohotnr among the scholars of

at the service ot the lowliest of mankind.

Ho was their teacher and friend. Some
who were Ignobly content on the lowest
moral and business rounJ of life's lajiler
acknowledge that their foothold on higher
rounds was obtained through his Inspiration.
Wherever nobility of character was needed
there was ho called' , and though often to the
most unexpected and unpleasant quarters ,
the call was never unheeded.
He was a Good Shepherd. He would have
given his life for his flock , yet outside of hU
own fold ho saw a flelj of work wherever a

Truly of him can -Hue1 said :
"He serves by lofty gifts

In many of thcUioihes In this land of ours
the need cf economy Is vppermost n the mini
of the housewife. TJils Is brought forcibly
to mind by the monthly appearance of an
enormous bill from the grocer or butcher.
She feels that tha responsibility of the money
expended \vltliln-tlic house rests with her , and
so It does. It estimated that fully three-
fourths ot the Income of the middle classes
Is spent for food' " Investigations prove that
the debility afflicting the majority ot the
people In this class js duo to the want of
proper nutriinent..to prepare the. boijy. fpr the
strain of our American lite-and climate.
The question , arises , \vlmt is ( ho cause and
the/ solution ot nil this ? I maintain that
the cause of It Is the leaving to unskilled
and unintelligent maids 'the entire handling
of our food. Cooking has becqmo a science
and an art , and should not be so left , for the
health and happiness of our families depend
much upon our cooking. To Illustrate-
went the other day to visit a friend whom
I had promised to show how to prepare a
delectable French dish from a round steak ,
I found her hemstitching a baby's dress , so
busy that she was unwilling to stop to go to
the kitchen , but thought Instead that the
steak could bo "pounded" and cooked In the
usual way. I could picture to myself the
scrambling meals cf that household.
The greatest waste often results because
good food Is rendered Indigestible by bad
cooking. As an example , a pounded steak
fried In grease. As well eat the sole of a
boot. I think my friend made a great
mistake In the method she chose for doing
her duty to her family. She could have
spent half the time In the kitchen that she
spent with her needle with advantage to her
own health and that of her family. I do
not wish to be understood as advocating a
slavery to the kitchen. The larger part ol
the detail work irtay be left to a matd. From
ono to two hours ot well directed effort each
day will sufllce. This need not at all conflict
with aliy reasonable demands of society.
One need not ruin either her hands or her
temper , In fact nothing can do more to
promote a sweet temper In the entire family
than precisely this course. The woman who
believes that cooking means only drudgery
has no true idea of what cooking Is. Any
work which presents the opportunity for
the exercise of skill may yield the satisfac
tion In Its accomplishment. The possibilities
of endless variety , the use of fragments , the
preservation of delightful flavors that al
ready exist and the development of new ones ,
the effort to pleaee the eye as well as the
palate , the exercise of care to preserve di
gestible qualities , these are some of the
things which lend charms to the nrt of the
housewife Every dish of the successful cooli
Is seasoned with brains.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION,
To render the beginning well, to write with dispatch and legible hand, and to answer the most urgent of notice, dispose once, with accuracy, of every question of remedy which comes up in practice, I call a following solution.
These are the tools. You can do much with them, but you are helpless without them."
The question has often been asked, "What shall we do with our schools?" and this question may include the boys as well. I answer in this way:
The aim of our public schools today is to prepare the child for the position he is to occupy in the future. The schools of Omaha, which stand second to none in the country, are doing this preparatory work. The child is expected to "know" very little, but his aims, his thoughts, his very movements are so rounded, so controlled, so guided that the imprint is quickly observed as the child matures.
A short resume of our school system will be most timely.
The child of five enters the kindergarten; here he is taught to use his little hands, and, aided by a skillful, ingenious, and cheery teacher, his mind soon grasps what he sees, hears, and feels. I am not a strong advocate of the kindergarten for all classes.
A child of five years, from a good, substantial home, with a careful, thoughtful mother, one that can explain the peculiar workings of an electric mechanical toy, that recognizes the primary colors, right from wrong, truth from falsehood, has very little need of preparation for the primary grade. Let the kindergartener spend her time and energies upon the poor little values that see nothing but strife and worry, sorrow and privation, and are often not even familiar with the English language. It is true, and a painful truth, that many of the children of our wealthier citizens are as ill equipped, both morally and physically, as their poorer classmates, but this is the fault of their surroundings, and it is indeed.
The thoughtful little fellow of six, who will tell you that he thinks the sun moves, because he has been told that it rises, will quickly show the discerning teacher that all he needs is guidance, and as soon as he has mastered the three Rs, he will be able to take care of himself.
The child leaves the kindergarten at the age of six years, and is supposed to begin at once the studies that are to fit him for his life's work. Then why not leave the sticks and beads and kaleidoscopes of the kindergarten behind?
He is ready to read and write and spell, and looks with disdain upon the playmate that has not kept pace with him. Here is begun the relating of myths, the story to be reproduced by the child, the nature work where, after the planting of a single seed, the child observes its development and growth.
How the peeping of a tiny leaf above the earth gives rise to expressions of joy, and how by sketching the seed that has burst does the child take his first true lesson.
The thought here engendered is reproduced in the language work (and language is the center around which revolve all other studies), sometimes a few crude and poorly-worded sentences, but always to the point and correct as to detail.
With the teacher in accord with her pupils, the child soon learns to think for himself. Then he soon learns to read, not in the old slings and binds way, but in the natural tone so surprising to the uninitiated.
During this period the number work is not neglected; the child is taught to count, not as many suppose, figures, figures, figures, but concretely. Not with sticks and shoe pegs, but with thoughtfulness and accuracy.
Our child is now ready for the next grade, and from that passes to the higher primary grades.
Conversation work is the essential feature of all the studies. The child is taught to talk, the more the better, until he is able to relate the minutest details.
In the fourth year geography is the new study to be pursued, but not the rote work of years gone by, when the child named all the capes down one side of the map and up the other. Today he considers products, climatic features, the course of the rivers, and, by actual observance in maps of sand, seas, water-sheds, promontories, bays, lakes, islands, etc. These we are taught to see as curved lines upon the map.
Our children are supplied with textbooks, pencils, pens, erasers, slates, paper, and even drawing and writing books. Why, then, should the patrons of the public schools of Omaha refuse to contribute, periodically, a few pennies or nickels, when extras are to be supplied?
This year is a year of retrenchment, and the patrons who have never had to purchase a book or a pencil, should not be the ones to refuse to aid the cause of education. This cry does not come from the poorer classes, but from those who can afford every luxury, and who cannot have their plans or ideas interfered with.
Arithmetic, grammar, and geography are the principal studies until the high school is reached, and although observation and conversation lessons are the rule, the day has not yet come when drills may be omitted.
These drills, skillful oral examinations, show the ingenious teacher (and Omaha has many) that her observation lessons have been digested.
Many facts must be remembered, many rules are ironclad, and the child, by constant drills, imbues what his thoughtful and conscientious teacher has imparted.
The pupil might not be able to tell the capital of the Fiji Islands or the number of boards used to make a box of irregular and inconceivable shape, but he will be able to tell you what constitutes a good citizen, also the current events of today, and is able to solve the problems that confront us in daily life.
By the collecting of small libraries in every individual school room, is the moral tone elevated, and our children are ready for a broader, truer, and nobler life.
In our school system of Omaha, we are trying to surround the child with what is morally best and purest, so that he may, when ready to take up the battle, be able to cope with the bravest.
The next generation will not be the "survival of the fittest." because we hope to make all "fittest." If I may use the term.
Then, and only then, will the question at the beginning of this article be answered.
There will be no need of the "new woman" or "sidetracked man." Boys and girls alike will be equipped to win the laurels they so well deserve. C. S. n.
HIGH SCHOOL, CHURCH.
The True Church of So Informed Parents.
By the American system of public school education, including the high school, the time of a child is occupied five or six hours a day, except during vacation, from the age of 5 to 17 years.
In many cities, the conditions under which study is pursued are not favorable. The school houses are not properly lighted, heated, nor ventilated; and quite frequently very little attention is paid at home to the diet, the hours of sleep, and the hours of recreation.
In short, to the health of growing pupils. Any one long familiar with schools has noticed that here and there a pupil drops out of school from sickness. More frequently pupils have headache, and at certain seasons of the year have to be taken out of school.
The majority keep on, look bright, and are apparently unharmed.
Those who are injured in school by poor ventilation, over study and nervousness, faulty diet and late hours do not hear from us; they disappear, and sometimes they die. The public takes no note of those who fail; but they leave a sad vacancy in the home and in the hearts of their parents. Sometimes the sickness is traced to the school; frequently it is not; more frequently the cause is complex. The health of school children has received attention in the cities of Europe and in the older cities of this country, and valuable statistics of the period of growth in children and the effect of school life upon growth and health have been made in recent years. In the Popular Science Monthly for November, 1900, Prof. Key of Stockholm, states his conclusions from the study of 18,000 school children. Similar data have been obtained from Boston, where 54,695 pupils were examined, and from other eastern cities. These go to prove that similar conditions are found in the schools of this country. From such investigations, we may be able, in time, to determine at what ages and at what seasons of the year the most study can best be accomplished.
In one city, of the children examined, about 10 percent have defective eyesight. In most cases, neither the pupils nor their parents were aware of the defect. In such cases, the difficulty is not only liable to increase, but the pupil may appear stupid, lose courage, and fall to improve, when the real trouble is that he cannot see, while supposing that he can see as well as anybody. The same is true of defective hearing. To relieve such unfortunate pupils, to watch over their health, is worthy of great effort by any teacher or board of education, and any investigation which brings such relief in any considerable number of instances, is well repaid. Q. Stanley Hall said, "What shall it profit a student to gain the whole world of knowledge and lose his health!" M.
The committee of fifteen is like the committee of ten, an outgrowth of the National Educational association. Both committees were appointed by an authoritative body and both were granted the use of a fund set apart for them by the directors of the National Educational association. The work of the two committees puts before the country in systematic manner the question of the form, content, and value of the studies that enter into the curricula of elementary and secondary schools. From this time on, this specific question must be faced, both in the study and in the schoolroom. Neither report makes any pretense of finality, but both take rank as the greatest American contributions thus far made to the scientific study of education. At a time when public sentiment is demanding better-trained teachers, and when great cities like New York and Brooklyn are actively revising their school administrations, and others, like Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston, and Buffalo, are casting about for an improved system of school organization, the parts that deal with those subjects will receive special attention and arouse special interest.
One of the schools that is making rapid strides to the front is the Crichton Medical College. It has just graduated a bright class of fourteen M.D.'s. Within the year, a commodious new college building and majority hospital will be erected in the heart of the city. Both faculty and students are enthusiastic at the prospects.
Superintendent Marble, who was so long and so closely identified with the educational progress of Massachusetts and officially connected with the National Educational association, is an authority on all school people, and by his thorough honesty with parents and teachers, he has won the esteem of all.
Being built on broad lines mentally, nothing narrow or petty can flourish in his atmosphere, and through his valued suggestions, intelligently worked out by the teachers, our schools are kept abreast of the foremost in the country. If adverse criticism comes, remember the saying that none criticizes the general so freely as the small boy.
KNIFEDGEREEN AND SCHOOL, some collective opinion! About these institutions.
It was suggested some time ago that statistics be gathered with regard to the kindergarten, whether a child that has attended the kindergarten does better work in the first, second, and third grades than one that has not.
"Several visits have been made to the larger buildings with and without kindergartens.
Where there is no kindergarten, the child enters at five and begins the first grade alone. Eighty percent of these pupils enter the second grade between the ages of six and seven, and in no case has the principal of the school felt the want of a kindergarten, except in two of the buildings that have had kindergartens more than one year. This information has been drawn: Unless there is an exceptionally fine teacher at the head of the kindergarten, the child had better enter the first grade at once, for with the lack of experience and incompetence of the inexperienced and inexperienced teacher, the object for which the kindergarten was introduced miscarries. As the work now stands, there is a large gap between the kindergarten and the first grade, of what good is the kindergarten if its work is not supplemented by or carried into the next year's work?
A kindergartener should be a mature, cultured woman of wide experience and much learning; the kindergartens in charge of women not even high school graduates should be discontinued.
There is need of the kindergarten in the east and southeastern parts of the city, where the children are ill prepared and where the foreign element predominates. The school life of these children is but three years. Why not allow these children to enter the kindergarten at the age of three and discontinue the kindergartens in the west and north parts of town, with perhaps one exception?
Now for the training school. There are about thirty young women who have been encouraged to study for eighteen months and who will soon be waiting for positions that never come. It has been proven that each of the training rooms costs $750, not including the expense of the training school proper. Now, if the poor kindergartens were closed and the expense of that extravagance, the training school, were lopped off, there would be fewer inferior teachers thrust upon us; there would not be the awful cry of retrenchment and the school would be able to run for ten months.

EXAMINED: A STUDY OF EDUCATION.
"The study of the lives of great men, observing the lessons they learned, the sorrows with which they were burdened, the barriers they surmounted, the heights to which they ascended and the views they obtained is one of the many means of lifting us out of ourselves up to the God who desires us to know all the beauty, glory, and magnificence of this great universe given by Him for our home.
By this association with profound minds, the poet is enabled better to feel the beauty and rhythm of life, nature, and the world; the musician and orator to understand the soothing effect of tones, modulation, and expression and their elevating influence on tired humanity; the artist to see the esthetic joy produced by the harmonious blending of light and shade, form and color; the novelist to acquire a greater ability to delineate character; the biographer and historian to appreciate more completely the greatness and grandeur of man; the geologist to dig deeper; the astronomer to rise higher; the miller to bear a music in the hum of the wheel, the railroad operator and the telegrapher to feel a thrill of delight in overcoming space by motion; the farmer to bring scientific principles to his assistance; the mechanic to use more skill and ingenuity, and so on through all the various pursuits of life do biographers become the prompters for better and more efficient service hence a broadening of the view, a strengthening of the powers, and an enlightening of the mind.
Who can read the life of Demosthenes without being influenced by his example? Picture him frail in body and imperfect in speech, practicing in a cellar, declaiming while climbing steep ascents, reciting on the shore, his face to the breeze, with only the roaring waves for an audience. The effort followed effort until, for himself, first place among the world's orators. In England, among many others distinguished in literature and art are Mrs. Browning, Mrs. Hemans, Dickens, Thackeray, George Eliot and Shakespeare, the last of whom Hugo compares to an oak with "Its innumerable antitheses, gigantic truths, and small leaves, rough bark and velvety mosses, absorption of rays and lavishness of shade, crowns for heroes and masters of wisdom," thus admonishing us not to see the faults of littleness hurled at this great poet but rather to profit by his genius and great new, which placed him towering high above other authors. In America we have Motley, Parkman, Everett, Emerson, Bancroft, and Prescott (who, though blinded while yet alive, continued his study and under most painful circumstances gave to us their histories of Mexico and Peru) of the literary world, while in that of politics are Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, Clay, Calhoun, Webster, Monroe, Jackson, and Grant. On another of Fame's high towers stands Abraham Lincoln, of whom J. G. Holland wrote: "In Mr. Lincoln's life and character, the American people have received a benefaction not less in permanent importance and value than in the revolution of opinion and policy, by which he introduced them to a new national life. "He has given them a statesman without a statesman's craftiness; a great man without a great man's vices, a philanthropist without a philanthropist's impractical dreams, a ruler without the pride of place and power, an ambitious man without selfishness, and a successful man without vanity. "On the basis of such a manhood as this, all the coming generations of the nation will not fail to build high and beautiful ideals of human excellence, whose attractive powers shall raise to a nobler level the moral sense and the moral character of the nation. "This true manhood, simple, unpretending, sympathetic with all humanity and reverent toward God, has breathed and will continue to breathe into the nation the elevating and purifying power of his own divine life," J. T. C. The School System of Japan. The development of obedience, sympathy, and dignity is the aim of the Japanese educational system, which is compulsory and secular, but not gratuitous. Much attention is paid to the training of little children. Its schools are divided into kindergartens, secondary, normal, professional, and special, the last often being attached to universities, notably the Imperial university. Nearly all are under government control and supported by the government and local taxation, though themselves exempt from taxation. Boys and girls are taught together in the elementary school, each city, town, or village being obliged to support a sufficient number of such schools to accommodate all children from six to fourteen. The normal schools resemble ours, especially in the demand upon them for women teachers. Yet they include more study of domestic economy than ours impart. Upon graduation, females must teach for five years, but males for ten years. The supplementary schools are many, even unto a few for the teaching of arithmetic alone. In the lower schools, where the holidays must not exceed ninety days a year, exclusive of Sundays, pupils wear Japanese dress, while in the higher schools and universities European costumes are often seen. Throughout the entire system of education, great stress is laid upon obedience, just as upon freedom. There are endless educational societies with long names, the public ones resembling our normal teachers' institutes. Selected, Boston Transcript. The Board of Education of Philadelphia contemplates the opening of school grounds after school hours, so that the children may use them for playgrounds. There is no reason why the brick pavements should not be removed in order to prevent broken limbs and other accidents which are liable to occur when children are obliged to play in such paved yards. The movement for breathing spaces, city parks, and children's playgrounds should receive all encouragement. The majority of children must remain in the city during summer, and the trolleyed streets and filthy courts and alleys are not fit for them to play in. We understand that one of the Janitors has decided that a certain teacher must go, as she has made complaints enough. It is strange that in this enlightened age the teacher cannot understand that a criticism of the professor of dust and ashes is about as safe as walking with the business end of a wasp. An editorial was noticed some time ago concerning the social standing of teachers. Women of culture and refinement who have always had position, have been able to keep that position in society, teacher or not. The snobs are the ones who cannot enter society and they are the ones that are always snubbed by society's snobs. Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, the well-known ex-president of Wellesley college, won golden opinions from men and women in a recent talk given before the Massachusetts State Teachers' association. The necessity for culture, good breeding, ladylike ways, and gracious deportment in the schoolroom, as well as out, was her theme. She was receiving letters from school officials asking for teachers with these qualifications first of all, after that what they could get. There was a world of truth in all Mrs. Palmer said. The day has gone by when a high percentage in examination results will atone for brusqueness in a teacher. Manners should be demanded before mental arithmetic, and graciousness before grammar. So long as Boards of Education are composed of politicians using this office as a stepping stone to something better, so long will our schools be mediocre. Intelligent, thinking men, who know the needs of a schoolroom, and whose ardor can be toned down by a few bright women, are the members of the future. In every schoolhouse in the union there should hang a map of the United States, and over every schoolhouse there should float the flag of these United States. In a town in Minnesota, children under 16 years must be off the streets by 8 o'clock at night. If this rule could be enforced, Omaha, the High school pupils would not complain of long hours, nor would the cold, pickled lunches have a deleterious effect. After a night of dancing, scarcely any breakfast the next day, can we expect a girl or boy to be able to endure five or six hours of misery with aching limbs? Small wonder lessons are not learned and seats are considered hard. Dr. J. M. Nice, who recently returned from a European trip of inspection of schools in the interest of The Forum, presents, as one result of his study, the conclusion that the American school system would gain much if there were a method of limited state control similar in a general way, but not in many of its details, to the German system. By this method, permanent educational experts might be kept in charge of our schools, and the demoralizing influence of politics withdrawn. Music is the language of the emotions, and should have a large place in the schoolroom. Melody should always take precedence of harmony, and songs should be chosen that are full of the heart's power and feelings. Music as taught in Omaha takes first rank. Which one of Omaha's rival cities can boast of having a superintendent with one degree and a principal of the High school with two, and with executive ability, second to none? A teacher who asked a girl to purchase a grammar received the following note from the little girl's mother: "I do not desire that Mattie engage in grammar, as I prefer her to engage in more useful studies, and can teach her to write and speak proper myself."
I went through two grammars and can't say
as they did me no good. I prefer Mavity to
Ingage in German and drawing, vocal music
on the piano. "
Among the resolutions adopted by the National Council of Women of the United States
at Washington was the following:
"Resolved, That in the best interests of
education, and as a matter of justice, we ask
that women as well as men shall be elected
or appointed on all school boards in the several states and territories.
"We heartily endorse the effort to give the
youth of the country scientific temperance
instruction in the public schools.
"We earnestly request all the school boards
in the United States to adopt the kindergarten method, and to combine manual with
mental training as a fundamental part of our
public school system. "
"This school, keeping of ours is not a
makeshift, a catch-penny device, a means
of tiding over an unforeseen bar in our business career, a ready resort from the tedium
of housekeeping, a flirtation with small literature, a free fountain by the wayside, where
the tired traveler may slake his thirst and
pass on but a high calling where, if anywhere -
where, are required intellectual attainments,
an active intelligence, tact, special training
and that well-balanced self-possessed which we
sometimes call manhood and womanhood. "
GEORGE HOWLAND.
A bill was framed to form a State Board of
Education which would have power to grant
state certificates to successful teachers of
known scholarly attainments.
Now, for such a teacher, the gates leading
is to a higher position open only at the same
of percent questions answered,
Testimonials from former school authorities,
expressions of regret at the loss of so efficient
a force and marked teaching talent, of no avail
naught against the fetish certificate.
Formerly, entrance to college was barred
until the applicant was examined in pages
of Cicero, Virgil, etc., and entrance denied
even to a Webster-an idiom, tabulated
results of such woolly-headed examinations, are
not vital tests of native power.
A difference of opinion among teachers regarding
the most favored school districts made one teacher consider the advantages in
the southeastern part of the city.
Parents, who for telling today for the
bread of yesterday, estimate at its full value
the boon of a child's education, and
through necessity, shorten the boy's school
life, for he must, early become an assistant
breadwinner, testify to the teacher's efforts for the
child's progress, variegated, and his authority is supplemented by the parent's interest,
Under such conditions, the spur of ambition
and poverty, the discipline solves itself.

Sorrow and sighing and sobbing and tears,
Futile endeavor and weakness and fears,
Doubts for the days and dread of the years.

Silence and distance and horrors of night,

Soothing hands hold on a turbulent breast,
Fullness of glory by mortals unguessed.

A Tribute to a Well Known Pastor.
"All here is a teacher and the lesson
He taught was good!
There are no creeds, nor classes, nor races,
Only one human brotherhood. "
In this Woman's edition I wish to bear
tribute to one who is now absent, but sadly
missed. The poor, whom he loved and for
whom he worked to the best of his great
head and heart power, miss him, for his
sympathy was always given with substantial
aid.
Known as a scholar among the scholars of
the nation, he holds his wealth of learning
at the service of the lowliest of mankind.
Hundreds testify to his work for causes
humble causes exalted by service so gracefully given.
The Omaha young men cannot forget him
He was their teacher and friend. Some
who were ignobly content on the lowest
moral and business round of life's ladder
acknowledge that their foothold on higher
rounds was obtained through his inspiration.
Wherever nobility of character was needed
there was he called, and though often to the
most unexpected and unpleasant quarters,
the call was never unheeded.
He was a Good Shepherd. He would have
given his life for his flock, yet outside of his
own fold he saw a field of work wherever a
troubled soul needed encouragement.
Truly of him can be said:
"He serves by lofty gifts
The lowly needs of this poor race. "

Unusual Good Meals MECHANICS:
"Men Die, and Money," they say
Not Half so fast as Truth. "
In many of those homes in this land of ours
the need of economy is uppermost in the mind
of the housewife. This is brought forcibly
to mind by the monthly appearance of an
enormous bill from the grocer or butcher.
She feels that the responsibility of the money
expended within the house rests with her, and
so it does. It is estimated that fully three-
fourths of the income of the middle classes
is spent for food. "Investigations prove that
the debility afflicting the majority of the
people in this class is due to the want of
proper nutrition to prepare the body for the
strain of our American life and climate.
The question arises, what is the cause and
the solution of all this? I maintain that
the cause of it is the leaving to unskilled
and unintelligent maids the entire handling
of our food. Cooking has become a science
and an art, and should not be so left, for the
health and happiness of our families depend
much upon our cooking. To illustrate-
went the other day to visit a friend whom
I had promised to show how to prepare a
delectable French dish from a round steak,
I found her hemstitching a baby's dress, so
busy that she was unwilling to stop to go to
the kitchen, but thought instead that the
steak could be "pounded" and cooked in the
usual way. I could picture to myself the
scrambling meals of that household.
The greatest waste often results because
good food is rendered indigestible by bad
cooking. As an example, a pounded steak
fried in grease. As well eat the sole of a
boot. I think my friend made a great
mistake in the method she chose for doing
her duty to her family. She could have
spent half the time in the kitchen that she
spent with her needle with advantage to her
own health and that of her family. I do
not wish to be understood as advocating a
slavery to the kitchen. The larger part of
the detail work may be left to a maid. From
one to two hours of well-directed effort each
day will suffice. This need not at all conflict
with any reasonable demands of society.
One need not ruin either her hands or her
temper, in fact, nothing can do more to
promote a sweet temper in the entire family
than precisely this course. The woman who
believes that cooking means only drudgery
has no true idea of what cooking is. Any
work which presents the opportunity for
the exercise of skill may yield the satisfaction
in its accomplishment. The possibilities
of endless variety, the use of fragments, the
preservation of delightful flavors that already exist and the development of new ones,
the effort to please the eye as well as the
palate, the exercise of care to preserve digestible qualities, these are some of the
things which lend charms to the art of the
housewife. Every dish of the successful cook
is seasoned with brains.

literary annals. It seems to us that this
fad , It so It may bo called , bears Indelibly
this encouraging stamp It Is the search for
real poetry , the study of the art of poesy for
its own sake , Independent of local or na
tional circumstances. We admlro the taste
of our contemporaries who thus aim high
In their selection of an artist , for , love ns
\vo may the polish of Longfellow , the sweet
untrained verses of Whlttlcr of the stately
lines of Uryant , wlipn It comes to impas
sioned thought , embodied In perfect form ,
Too outranks them all. The artist who so
used a slnulo commonplace word that It be
oatno In llself a legend of the heart , which
once heard could never bo forgotten , was a
master whom none need fear to acknowl
edge , and the renewed study of whom prom
Ises the elevation of our poetic standard.
With his "Nevermore" he has linked the
Blmplest elements a solitary man haunted
by a sacred memory and a grisly raven , and
out of the array ho has made a poem for
every one , the scholar nnd the peasant , as
well , a poem whose greatness grows upon
the student In proportion as ho analyzes
minutely Its structure and Its underlying
thought. "The Bells" shows In a way nevcr
excelled the unexampled power of our own
Anglo-Saxon to echo In Its very sound the
sense It would express. "Annabel Lee" again
is a favorite that loses none ot Its realistic
properties by being popular. And there are
others and yet others , until our list Includes
almost all his matchless poems , and wo begin
to feel that the pocl himself Is the being
"Whose heart strings arc a lute , " and no
the angel of the Koran. Wo are glad , how
ever , that ho could not exchange places with
this seraph , as he so beautifully expresses
the wish , but Instead sang his mortal lay :
"If I could dwell
Where Israfel
Hath dwelt , nnd lie where I ,
He might not sing so wildly well
A mortal melody.
While a bolder note than this might swel
From my lyre within the sky. "
A new and elegant edition of the poet's
W-f entire works Is undoubtedly the occasion o"
this outburst of appreciation of the poetry o
1'oe. Ho has never been forgotten. Such
spirits of his cannot be relegated to 'ho past
for they speak a universal ian 'jugo , alnnj
current. The new edition , howo/ar , recall
nnd freshens our soul , Impressions , and lo
a change has taken place In nur Intellectual
status since our last serious Interview U
the poet ; wo have outgrown Mime cl.lldls'
fancies ; our judgment Is clearer sindve nro
freer and more Inclined to study "art for
nrt's sake. "
This awakened Interest in an artistic pott
means much , we believe , towjrJ the up
lifting of current poetry among us. Writers
of poetry themselves must hall the "Poe
Renaissance" with Joy , for It means more
appreciative and enlightened readers of their
own poetic thoughts , artistically otrie-MCd.

To write anything new In travel or history
In these days U almost Impossible ; par
ticularly about such old countries as Turkey
and Russia. And yet this Is what Miss
Elizabeth Latlmer has done In her "Turkey

delineations ot character are veritable pen
pictures. Alexander II , General Skobeloff ,
Sultan Abdul Hamld are made to live nnd
net In our very presence , and wo feel that
lull Justice has never been done them be

They are acting for their country's good , as
they see It ; arc truly patriots. The czar Is
patriarch of the whole Russian church , as
well as sovereign of the Husslan millions.
So "Russia for the Russians" means the
expulsion of all other peoples and religions.
It Is a ruler's solemn duty to God to carry
out this principle.
The accounts of the Crimean and Turkish
wars , the Bulgarian massacre , the treatment
of the Jews , are all graphically given. In
deed , we forget we are reading of the cruel
Russian and the "unspeakable Turk" because
of the new things which are told , and told
In a most Interesting way. It Is a woman

of EugeneField's poems
bed. After they were gone Grandfather said
"I wish you would read 'Casey's TabU
d Hole , ' "A Uttlu Book of Western Verse"
was brought nnd opened at the required page.
Our laughter over this poem called for others
of the humorous class. "Our Lady of ttu
Mine , " "The Conversazzhyony , " "Mr. Dane
of the New York Sun , " "Modjeska as
Camllle , " amused me. "I think there Is
Bomo very delicate humor In many of those
selections , but I sometimes with ho woulJ
leave out the slang , " said Grandfather
"Field seems capable of so much hlghei
"That Is true nnd his latest poems show It
As for the slang , of course these wcaterr

camp. You scarcely expect the dweller :
there lo take off their hats whenever they approach
preach the queen's English. Don't you thlnl
In 'Our Lady of the Mine. ' the tenderness o
the ending raises * It to a different plant ? "
Grandfather admitted that It did. "Now
read some of the pathetic ones , " said he. " 1
like 'Our Whipping' and 'The Old Fire- Hang
bird's Nest , ' 'The Humming Top , ' or 'Ovei
the IHlls nnd Far Away. ' In these pocmi
Mr. Field teems to recreate the hopes am
ambitions of childhood and again to se <
things through his Juvenllo magnifying glass
Ho recognizes In the noisy rivalry eve
tops and knives the same nature that In man
hood strives for gold and laurels. It Is Ilki
reading a homely philosophy Into the rhyme ;
that were once only the jingles of Mothe
Goose. "
"I wish you would read 'Little Hey nine ,
raid Grandmother , who had hitherto taken ni
part In the talk. After that touchingllttl
piece was flnlsheJ. she shrank away from thi
others , forgetful of present surroundings am
dreaming as one doe * who has loved and ha
now only a recollection.
In fact , the whole group seemed to hay
passed to a different tone of feeling. We hai
drifted from the frolics of childhood , past th
sports and mistakes of the mining camp ti
the region of calms where the sage mu e 01
the past and wonders about the future.
"And that one called Tatter's LctUr ,
said Coutln Ned , and goon we were laughing
heartily over
"The yellow rooster froze his feet a-wadln *
through the unow ,
And nowe he leans nsln the fence , when he

the "new hearse , " and the other funny
" " that Inimitable
Items of "news" which compose
table letter. Uut again seriousness settleJ
over the listeners as the letter drew to Its
close , until It deepened to something solemn
and holy , for who does not ngrco that "earth
eeenui nearer heaven when mother sends her
love. "
Just then we were Interrupted by a neigh
bor whom wo had mltied from our circle for
some months.
"Where have you been nil this time ? "
"In Chicago for the most part. "
"What have you been doing ? "
"Oh , everything , work , play , you know
the pace one goes there. I see you are fond
ot Eugene Field's works , Judging by these
books. By the way , I dined at his home
not long ago. I think I have a note from
him with me. Have you c > cr seen his writIng -
Ing ? "
We pressed forward eagerly.The writing
was odd and beautiful , as small and clear
as the engraving on a man's card.
"Now , do tell us something personal about
him ! Has ho always written poetry ? Did
ho show any 'symptoms' In childhood ? " we
asked In chorup.
"No , his first poem was not written until
he was 29 years old. It's name was "Christ
mas Treasures. " I believe It Is In 'A Little
Book of Western Verse. ' "
" " Grandmother. "I
"I remember It , said
have always liked It. "It begins : 'I count
my treasures o'er with care. ' There Is a
similarity between It and 'Little Boy Illue. ' "
"Yes , I bpllove they are written In mem
ory of a lost child , and I think the volume
'With Trumpet and Drum' was published
as a memorial of the same child. "
"How many children has Mr. Field ? "
"Tliero have been eight three daughters
and flvo sons. "
"Is ho a man of wide reading or travel ? "
"Ho attended school at Williams college ,
at Knox college , at the State University of
Missouri. After his school dnys closed ho
cnt to France , Italy , Ireland and England ,
hero he says he 'spent six months and his
atrlmony. ' Later In llfo ho passed two
ears In the old world. His talents have
cen broadened and deepened by study and
xpcrlcncc. Ho has been connected with
eadlng western newspapers for the past
wenty years. "
"How old Is ho now ? "
"About 45 years. "
"What are some of his likes or dislikes ? "
"Ho Is fond of almost any kind of a pet
, ogs , cats , birds. Ho says If ho were a
cglslator ho would make the abuse of
orscs , dogs and cattle a penal offense ,
lo has a great dislike for politics , fireworks ,
: uns , anything of that sort. A curious vein
i his nature Is his outspoken predilection
'or ghosts , stories , fairy tales and dolls ! "
'That ' must account for his great sympa-
hy with children , " said Grandmother.
"Forgetting your friendly admiration for
Im , what Is your estimation of Eugene
Meld as a poet ? " asked Grandfather of our
elghbor.
"I think that ho Is Improving nil the
Imc , and that ho will ultimately reach
Igher ground than ho has yet reached.
iVnether his works will be read a hundred
ears from now I cannot prophecy. Mr.
Field Is not a writer who sounds the whole
amut of human emotions. His themes are
written In the keys of C major and A minor ,
, 'lth a few harmonic changes. Jin confines
Imself to humor and pathos and does not
ndulge In Dyronlc flights. In fact , Mr.
leld openly announces his dislike for that
much discussed .pclon of-the Brltlslv- nobility ,
osslbly ho Is what might bo called a poet
of the hour , but In these flays when mortals
re prone to browse among the classics ere
o contract mental Indigestion in their fran-
Ic efforts to take In all the 'ologles and
sms' at one swallow , It Is a relief to find
someone who Is more Inclined to be simple
and sweet , and tender. He has brought
many smiles with his verses , now and then
a tear , perhaps ; ho has freshened some
weary hearts , and beyond that what is a
poet's mission ? "

Previous to 185G George Eliot had written
nothing In the line cf a novel except a dt-
scrlptlon of a Staffordshire village and the
Ife of the neighboring farm houses. It was
owing to the constant urglngand encourage
ment of Mr. Lewes tnat she made the at
tempt then. Her first bit of fiction was
'Amos Barton , " the Initial story of "Scenes
from Clerical Life. " This collection of shorl
stories was a favorite of hers through life
She often said there was more of her owr
llfo In these sketches than In "Adani Uede. '
* * *
When her stories first began to appeal
over the name of "George Eliot" the idetv
tlty of this new genius was a problem In
terestlng to many great men and women ol
England. Thackeray said they were cer
talnly written by a man. Frondo said : " 1
do not know whether he Is a" young man 01
an old a clergyman or a layman. " Jam
Carlyle said : "I have conceived him In. mj
mind a man of middle ago , with a wife
from whom he has got those beautiful fern
Inlne touches , a good many children and I
dog ! For the rest not Just a clergyman
but brother or * first cousin to a clergyman. '
Mrs. Ollphant , the novelist , was sure the ]
were not written by a woman. DIekens
however , penetrated the secret. He said : ' .
have observed what seemed to mo such wo
manly touches In those moving fictions tnn
the assurance on the title page Is Insufllclen
to satisfy mo even now. If they orlglnate (
with no woman , I believe that no man eve ;
before had the art of making hlmsjlf men
tally so like a woman since the world be
gan. "
*
The germ of "Adam Bede" was a stor ;
related to George Eliot by her aunt , a Metho
dlst preacher , who nad attended a girl con
demned to death for child-murder , in orde
to offer her religious consolation. The flgh
between Arthur and Adam , the novelist con
celved one night at the Munich opera , \vhei
she was listening to William Tell.
The name of "Mill onthe Floss" groatl ;
perplexed George Eliot. Among- the name
suggested by herself and her friends wer
"The Tulllvers. " "St. Oggs on the Floss , '
"Sister Maggie , " "The House of Tulllver , '
"Life on the Floss , " and "Tho Tulllver Fam
lly. "
Of the origin of "Silas Warner" she said
"It came to mo quite suddenly as a sort o
legendary tale , suggested by my recollection
of having once , In early childhood , seen
linen-weaver with a bag on his back. "
*
The writing of "Romola" was the creates
strain of her life. She says : "I began It
young woman I finished It an old woman. "
*
George Eliot received 600 for "Felix Holt,1
7,0001 for "Romola" and about 10,000 fo
"Mlddlemarch. "
*
Of "Mlddlcmarch" she said : "It Is
subject which has been recorded among m
possible themes ever since I began to writ
fiction. "

Small and new the shack. The brlgh
pine boards baked In the sun. Within , th
table , bed , chairs , stove and dishes. On
shelf , a shell from the sea , tinted pink as
rose. Without , the plain.
A woman looked from the door toward th
fields , where the corn absorbed the hen
hungrily and swelled with mere vegetabl
corpulency. Then she turned back to he
baking. What with the stove and the sur
the room was as hot as a forge , and th
woman's blood throbbed In her face an
burned In her eyes. Once she staggere
from the heat , and the room grew a twlllgh
blur to her. She- took some water from th
bucket , gingerly , with a consciousness c
the need ot economizing it , and molstene
all her head with It , The water wa * tepU
with no refreshment In It , but It made the
little auburn ringlets leap up.
Suddenly , her eyes caught tight of the
shell. She seized It , lifted It to her par , nnd
listened. Slowly and voftly a smile dawnctl ,
trembling round about the piteous mouth ,
while In the eyes the tears came gently ns
summer rain. Their btlne fell on the shell ,
which had known the brine of ocean. Still
the listened. In Iti pink convexity roired
the breakers majestic , eternal I The trars
dried for sheer content. The mlle faded Into
peace. The blood fled pleasantly from the
throbbing head back to the heart. The hands
grew steady. Before the eyes floated Unions
\lslonsl Green and marvelous blue , like
the wing of the wild duck , were the testing
waves. The wind lifted Itself up from mys
terious hiding places and ranged at will. The
wild gull dipped his wings. Tlio rung of the
sea the exultant shout ot the sea was there !
She laid the rosy shell back on 1U shelf ,
A Woodland Wooing.
The south wind went a wooing
The violet In the dell ;
With soft nnd warm caresses
He vowed he loved her well.
The robin In the oak tree
Sang sweetly nil day long1 ,
Anil his love for the blue-eyed violet
Was the burden of his song.
The moss that grew around her feet
Ills true love dared not tell ,
While the wind spoke soft and the bird
sang sweet ,
IJut the violet knew It well.
In autumn flew the robin
The south wind came no more
But the moss , who feared no winter ,
Crept closer thnn before ,
His timid heart grown bold now ,
His loved one warm to Ueep ,
And In his faithful bopom
The violet fell asleep.

A great French woman , friend of beasts In
general and of files In particular , was annoyed
by the buzzing of a large fly that had gained
access to her bed chamber.
After having vainly tried to make it go ou
the window , she called her servant and tali
to him : "Catch that fly without Injuring 1
and put It out of doors. "
The servant , with the greatest precaution ,
seized the fly and disappeared. After a mo

between his fingers.
"Well ! " said the lady , "why have yci
still the fly In your hand ? "

Kl < ld' Social Evolution.
Mr. Benjamin KIdd's "Social Evolution" li
pronounced by Dr. Marcus Dodds to bo "on
of the greatest books we have had since Dar
win's 'Origin ot Species. " "It Is , " ho nays ,
"wldo In its survey , pe-netratlng In Its In
sight , sustained and masterly In Us argumen
and surprising In its conclusions. " ThU es
tlmatc , strong as It Is , seems too moderat
to the sympathetic reader , especially' If ! >
bo a student of social problems. To him th
work seems to stand alone as a logical an
comprehensive statement ot the present con
dltlons ot the social organism. , Its history an
the method of Its future development. Other
have set social questions In array ; Mr. Kid
answers the great Inclusive ones "Whence ?
and "Whither ? " as these are applied to so
clety. Others have enlightened ; Mr. Kid
gives a new point of view.
The significant fact about the book , whlcl
by the way , Dr. Alfred Wallace characterize :
as "thoroughly scientific , " Is that therein
man of high scientific attainments , after year ;
of special scientific study along- social lints
declares religious beliefs to be "not a clas :
of phenomena peculiar to the childhood o
the race , " but the "characteristic feature o
our social evolution. " The process of hi
argument , which It Is well-nigh Imposslbl
to mention In the space permitted , Is some
thing like this :
First. The "survival of the flttest" Is the
Immutable law of all evolution , Prof. Drum-
mend to the contrary notwithstanding.
Second. This law , which Is one of progress
to the race. Is antagonistic to the Interests
of the Individual , who is therefore always at
war with society.
Third. A religion which Involves (1) ( ) a
sanction , superior to reason , for conduct In
the Individual , and (2) ( ) an altruistic motive ,
will lead Individuals to so conduct their
affairs that the best Interests of society will
bo observed. That Is , It Is a religion of
faith and love which has been the most power
ful force in the progress of society for cen
turies. To such a religion , we must look for
the "progressive subordination of the present
Interests "of the self-assertive individual to
the future Interests of society. "

THE rflESBVr STATUS OF TUB CltlTIC.
Apropai at 1'oe , the Literary Dicta
tor.
Where are the critics of old. times , those
Berserker men of might who , armed with
, only a fragile goose-quill laid about them as
with a bludgeon ? Not to go so far back as
the great autocrat , the tea drinking doctor ,
or that dread creature who said : "This
will never do , " who , nowadays , would
dare to put forth Macaulay's sweplng de
crees ? Who would stand as the spokesman
ot America as did Poe ? He narrowed his
field , moreover , to that of a sectlonallst ;
ho was the champion of southern poetry
against the northern literati , yet he was
listened to by the north as well as the south.
Loyal , devoted to his muse , ho fought like
a soldier for the Just dues of poetry for
careful scansion , tor pure English , for sin
cerity. Ho had a scapel for the genial ex
crescences of Longfellow's verse ; of Lowell
and Hawthorne. He checked the fulsome
general worship of Elizabeth Barrett Brown
ing while paying her a glowing tribute him
self. He was great enough to say kind ,
meaningless nothings about the literary
ladles of his acquaintance and lift them a
round or two up the ladder of fame before
1 they should slip oft forever.
Pee took an-1 easily kept the chair of Sir
Oracle among men of letters , although the
bulk of his poetical work was so much less
than that of his compeers , and , what was
more , the temper of his mind was so un
certain. Would he have the same place
now ? Would he pull down the mighty from
their seat to such general applause ? Times
have changed. Then a champion needed
but the backing of one or two good maga
zines among the very few to command his
public and quell cavillers. Now a score ot
reviews ot reviews , of booklets on booklets ,
bandy the last word until the thought Is all
gone. He could now , as then , rely on his
prestige as a poet. I doubt It he ever
caused an Irreverent smile that he asked
for a change of lyre with Israfel. But this
last month the crltlclcts made merry when
u rhyme of EJmud Gesso said In substance
that ho had not the art of Shakespeare.
And Edmund Gosse holds very much the same
position among lettered men of England
that formerly belonged to Poe In America.
They might well bo compared In learning ,
In artistic discrimination , In knowledge ol
form. But In criticism the more modern
writer had learned an urbanity and modesty
which tho.older writer never had to as
sume. Poe , to have readers In these times ,
would have to discontinue the use ot ex
uberant quotations from foreign languages ,
especially those a llttlo wide of the mark.
His provincial tone , his raising of the Ameri
can flag or the southern crest would be
pitied by the 5-cent weekly pamphlets. Hie
self made canons ot form would have to
yield before the theories even of the laity ,
properly taught. Ills fashion ot repeating
himself would , be pointed out by the dullest.
Then what would remain of Poe , the great
critic ? I am one who likes to believe that
a great deal would remain. The authority
would vanish , as do other authorities ol
these latter days , but the knightly spirit ,
the love of truth , the eye "that winces al
false work nnd love the true" cannot be Im
agined out ot him any more than his match-
lets gift of song.

Notes.
Collectors of American autographs , manu
script , poen.B and first editions prize most
highly things of this kind belonging to Poe ,
probably owing to the difficulty ot obtaining
them. Hawthorne ranks second In the llsl

Literature.
Miss. Jennie E. Cook Historian of Poe.
The Hervey contemporary speaks of the new interest in the works and character of Edgar Allan Poe as the "Poe renaissance," and no more appropriate phrase could be taken to express this fever which has recently so thoroughly permeated literary circles. It is interesting and instructive to note the nature and probable results of this renewed attention to a real poet, who died nearly half a century ago, leaving only a small volume of poetry, some weird tales, and some bits of searching and scorching criticism, the monument of the most tragic life anywhere recorded in our literary annals. It seems to us that this fad, if so it may be called, bears indelibly this encouraging stamp: It is the search for real poetry, the study of the art of poesy for its own sake, independent of local or national circumstances. We admire the taste of our contemporaries who thus aim high in their selection of an artist, for, love us may, the polish of Longfellow, the sweet untrained verses of Whittier, or the stately lines of Bryant, when it comes to impassioned thought, embodied in perfect form, transcend them all. The artist who so used a simple commonplace word that it became in itself a legend of the heart, which once heard could never be forgotten, was a master whom none need fear to acknowledge, and the renewed study of whom promises the elevation of our poetic standard.
With his "Nevermore," he has linked the simplest elements: a solitary man haunted by a sacred memory and a grisly raven, and out of the array he has made a poem for every one, the scholar and the peasant, as well, a poem whose greatness grows upon the student in proportion as he analyzes minutely its structure and its underlying thought. "The Bells" shows in a way never excelled the unexampled power of our own Anglo-Saxon to echo in its very sound the sense it would express. "Annabel Lee" again is a favorite that loses none of its realistic properties by being popular. And there are others and yet others, until our list includes almost all his matchless poems, and we begin to feel that the poet himself is the being "Whose heart strings are a lute," and no longer the angel of the Koran. We are glad, however, that he could not exchange places with this seraph, as he so beautifully expresses the wish, but instead sang his mortal lay:
"If I could dwell
Where Istarafel
Hath dwelt, and lie where I,
He might not sing so wildly well
A mortal melody.
While a bolder note than this might swell
From my lyre within the sky. "
A new and elegant edition of the poet's entire works is undoubtedly the occasion of this outburst of appreciation of the poetry of Poe. He has never been forgotten. Such spirits of his cannot be relegated to the past for they speak a universal language, always current. The new edition, however, recalls and freshens our soul, impressions, and to a change has taken place in our intellectual status since our last serious interview with the poet; we have outgrown some of his childlike fancies; our judgment is clearer and more free and more inclined to study "art for art's sake."
This awakened interest in an artistic poet means much, we believe, toward the uplifting of current poetry among us. Writers of poetry themselves must hail the "Poe Renaissance" with joy, for it means more appreciative and enlightened readers of their own poetic thoughts, artistically conceived.
The Traveller and the Enigma. In the 10th Century.
To write anything new in travel or history in these days is almost impossible; particularly about such old countries as Turkey and Russia. And yet this is what Miss Elizabeth Latimer has done in her "Turkey and Russia in the Nineteenth Century." Her delineations of character are veritable pen pictures. Alexander II, General Skobeloff, Sultan Abdul Hamid are made to live and speak in our very presence, and we feel that full justice has never been done them before. Yet there is nothing like hero worship. They are acting for their country's good, as they see it; are truly patriots. The czar is patriarch of the whole Russian church, as well as sovereign of the Hussar millions. So "Russia for the Russians" means the expulsion of all other peoples and religions. It is a ruler's solemn duty to God to carry out this principle.
The accounts of the Crimean and Turkish wars, the Bulgarian massacre, the treatment of the Jews, are all graphically given. In fact, we forget we are reading of the cruel Russian and the "unspeakable Turk" because of the new things which are told, and told in a most interesting way. It is a woman telling what a woman saw, heard, and felt, and it all comes home to the heart and mind of women especially. We can understand the recent Armenian outrages better when we know that the sultan is so ignorant and vain that he suppressed textbooks on chemistry because the symbol "H2O" was supposed to indicate that Abdul Hamid was a cipher. But one must read the book to get an adequate idea of its interest.
MARY A. CREIGH.
The First Robin.
The sun shines warm and the clouds that
Threw shadows o'er the young green
And the bold red robin in the top of a tree
Trills forth a song, both wild and free.
As he sits and swings on a slender bough,
He watches the farmer with his plow,
Then, in an instant, he's on the wing
And soars to the city to announce the spring.
Gay little robin, so happy and free.
As he swings on a twig of our maple tree,
And sends up his song to the April skies
Could trouble hide in his black velvety eyes?
No, indeed! he's a naughty flirt,
In fact, the whole group seemed to have passed to a different tone of feeling. We had drifted from the frolics of childhood, past the sports and mistakes of the mining camp to the region of calms where the sage muses over the past and wonders about the future. "And that one called Tatters' Letter," said Coulton Ned, "and soon we were laughing heartily over..." The yellow rooster froze his feet away dancing through the snow, And now he leans against the fence, when he starts into crowing, "...the 'yellow hearse,' and the other funny items of 'news' which compose that inimitable table letter. But again seriousness settled over the listeners as the letter drew to its close, until it deepened to something solemn and holy, for who does not agree that "earth seems nearer heaven when mother sends her love." Just then we were interrupted by a neighbor whom we had mingled from our circle for some months. "Where have you been all this time?" "In Chicago for the most part." "What have you been doing?" "Oh, everything, work, play, you know the pace one goes there. I see you are fond of Eugene Field's works, judging by these books. By the way, I dined at his home not long ago. I think I have a note from him with me. Have you ever seen his writing?" We pressed forward eagerly. The writing was odd and beautiful, as small and clear as the engraving on a man's card. "Now, do tell us something personal about him! Has he always written poetry? Did he show any 'symptoms' in childhood? "we asked in chorus. "No, his first poem was not written until he was 29 years old. It's name was "Christmas Treasures." I believe it is in 'A Little Book of Western Verse.' " "Grandmother." "I remember it, said Coutlon Ned, "I have always liked it. It begins: 'I count my treasures o'er with care...' There is a similarity between it and 'Little Boy Blue.' "Yes, I believe they are written in memory of a lost child, and I think the volume 'With Trumpet and Drum' was published as a memorial of the same child. "How many children has Mr. Field?" "There have been eight, three daughters and five sons." "Is he a man of wide reading or travel?" "He attended school at Williams College, at Knox College, at the State University of Missouri. After his school days closed he went to France, Italy, Ireland and England, where he says he 'spent six months and his honeymoon.' Later in life he passed two years in the old world. His talents have been broadened and deepened by study and experience. He has been connected with leading western newspapers for the past twenty years." "How old is he now?" "About 45 years." "What are some of his likes or dislikes?" "He is fond of almost any kind of a pet, dogs, cats, birds. He says if he were a legislator he would make the abuse of horses, dogs and cattle a penal offense, lo has a great dislike for politics, fireworks, etc., anything of that sort. A curious vein in his nature is his outspoken predilection for ghosts, stories, fairy tales and dolls!" "That must account for his great sympathy with children," said Grandmother. "Forgetting your friendly admiration for him, what is your estimation of Eugene Field as a poet?" asked Grandfather of our neighbor. "I think that he is improving all the time, and that he will ultimately reach higher ground than he has yet reached. Whether his works will be read a hundred years from now I cannot predict. Mr. Field is not a writer who sounds the whole gamut of human emotions. His themes are written in the keys of C major and A minor, with a few harmonic changes. He confines himself to humor and pathos and does not indulge in Byronic flights. In fact, Mr. Field openly announces his dislike for that much discussed region of the British nobility, possibly he is what might be called a poet of the hour, but in these days when mortals are prone to browse among the classics for a mental indigestion in their frantic efforts to take in all the 'ologies and 'isms' at one swallow, it is a relief to find someone who is more inclined to be simple and sweet, and tender. He has brought many smiles with his verses, now and then a tear, perhaps; he has freshened some weary hearts, and beyond that, what is a poet's mission?" MAUD BRYANT NOTT. "Concerning George Eliot and her Book!" Previous to 1856 George Eliot had written nothing in the line of a novel except a description of a Staffordshire village and the life of the neighboring farmhouses. It was owing to the constant urging and encouragement of Mr. Lewes that she made the attempt then. Her first bit of fiction was 'Amos Barton,' the initial story of 'Scenes from Clerical Life.' This collection of short stories was a favorite of hers through life. She often said there was more of her own life in these sketches than in 'Adam Bede.' * * When her stories first began to appeal over the name of "George Eliot" the identity of this new genius was a problem interesting to many great men and women of England. Thackeray said they were certainly written by a man. Froude said: "I do not know whether he is a young man or an old one, a clergyman or a layman." James Carlyle said: "I have conceived him in my mind a man of middle age, with a wife from whom he has got those beautiful fern-like touches, a good many children and a dog! For the rest, not just a clergyman but brother or first cousin to a clergyman." Mrs. Oliphant, the novelist, was sure they were not written by a woman. Dickens however, penetrated the secret. He said: "I have observed what seemed to me such womanly touches in those moving fictions that the assurance on the title page is insufficient to satisfy me even now. If they originate with no woman, I believe that no man ever before had the art of making himself mentally so like a woman since the world began." * The germ of 'Adam Bede' was a story related to George Eliot by her aunt, a Methodist preacher, who had attended a girl condemned to death for child-murder, in order to offer her religious consolation. The fight between Arthur and Adam, the novelist conceived one night at the Munich opera, when she was listening to William Tell. The name of 'Mill on the Floss' greatly perplexed George Eliot. Among the names suggested by herself and her friends were 'The Tullivers,' 'St. Ogg's on the Floss,' 'Sister Maggie,' 'The House of Tulliver,' 'Life on the Floss,' and 'The Tulliver Family.' Of the origin of 'Silas Mariner' she said: "It came to me quite suddenly as a sort of legendary tale, suggested by my recollection of having once, in early childhood, seen a linen-weaver with a bag on his back." * The writing of 'Romola' was the greatest strain of her life. She says: "I began it as a young woman and finished it as an old woman." * George Eliot received 600 for 'Felix Holt,' 7,000 for 'Romola' and about 10,000 for 'Middlemarch.' * Of 'Middlemarch' she said: "It is a subject which has been recorded among possible themes ever since I began to write fiction." A Sen Mid. (By a Woman). Small and new the shack. The bright pine boards baked in the sun. Within, the table, bed, chairs, stove and dishes. On the shelf, a shell from the sea, tinted pink as a rose. Without, the plain.
A woman looked from the door toward the fields, where the corn absorbed the hen hungrily and swelled with mere vegetable corpulence. Then she turned back to the baking. What with the stove and the surging heat, the room was as hot as a forge, and the woman's blood throbbed in her face and burned in her eyes. Once she staggered from the heat, and the room grew a tumultuous blur to her. She took some water from the bucket, gingerly, with a consciousness of the need to economize it, and moistened all her head with it. The water was tepid with no refreshment in it, but it made the little auburn ringlets leap up.
Suddenly, her eyes caught sight of the shell. She seized it, lifted it to her ear, and listened. Slowly and softly a smile dawned, trembling round about the piteous mouth, while in the eyes the tears came gently as summer rain. Their brine fell on the shell, which had known the brine of ocean. Still she listened. In its pink convexity lay the breakers majestic, eternal. The tears dried for sheer content. The smile faded into peace. The blood fled pleasantly from the throbbing head back to the heart. The hands grew steady. Before the eyes floated unions of green and marvelous blue, like the wing of the wild duck, were the testing waves. The wind lifted itself up from mysterious hiding places and ranged at will. The wild gull dipped his wings. The clang of the sea, the exultant shout of the sea was there! She laid the rosy shell back on its shelf.
A Woodland Wooing.
The south wind went a wooing
The violet in the dell;
With soft and warm caresses
He vowed he loved her well.
The robin in the oak tree
Sang sweetly all day long,
And his love for the blue-eyed violet
Was the burden of his song.
The moss that grew around her feet
His true love dared not tell,
While the wind spoke soft and the bird sang sweet,
But the violet knew it well.
In autumn flew the robin
The south wind came no more
But the moss, who feared no winter,
Crept closer than before,
His timid heart grown bold now,
His beloved warm to sleep,
And in his faithful bosom
The violet fell asleep.

To whom the Prize?
(Translated from the French of L. Lahure.)
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals gives each year prizes to those of its members who show themselves most worthy and faithful adherents of its precepts.
A great French woman, friend of beasts in general and of flies in particular, was annoyed by the buzzing of a large fly that had gained access to her bedchamber.
After having vainly tried to make it go out the window, she called her servant and said to him: "Catch that fly without injuring it and put it out of doors."
The servant, with the greatest precaution, seized the fly and disappeared. After a moment he returned tenderly holding the fly between his fingers.
"Well!" said the lady, "why have you still the fly in your hand?"
"Madame," said the servant, "I had no the heart to put it out; it is raining too hard." GEORGIA LINDSEY.
The Social Evolution of the City.
Mr. Benjamin Kidd's "Social Evolution" is pronounced by Dr. Marcus Dodds to be "one of the greatest books we have had since Darwin's 'Origin of Species.' " "It is," he says, "wide in its survey, penetrating in its insight, sustained and masterly in its argument and surprising in its conclusions." This estimate, strong as it is, seems too moderate to the sympathetic reader, especially if he be a student of social problems. To him, the work seems to stand alone as a logical and comprehensive statement of the present conditions of the social organism, its history and the method of its future development. Others have set social questions in array; Mr. Kidd answers the great inclusive ones "Whence?" and "Whither?" as these are applied to society. Others have enlightened; Mr. Kidd gives a new point of view.
The significant fact about the book, which by the way, Dr. Alfred Wallace characterizes as "thoroughly scientific," is that therein a man of high scientific attainments, after years of special scientific study along social lines, declares religious beliefs to be "not a class of phenomena peculiar to the childhood of the race," but the "characteristic feature of our social evolution." The process of his argument, which it is well-nigh impossible to mention in the space permitted, is something like this:
First. The "survival of the fittest" is the immutable law of all evolution, Prof. Drummond to the contrary notwithstanding.
Second. This law, which is one of progress for the race, is antagonistic to the interests of the individual, who is therefore always at war with society.
Third. A religion which involves (1) a sanction, superior to reason, for conduct in the individual, and (2) an altruistic motive, will lead individuals to so conduct their affairs that the best interests of society will be observed. That is, it is a religion of faith and love which has been the most powerful force in the progress of society for centuries. To such a religion, we must look for the "progressive subordination of the present interests" of the self-assertive individual to the future interests of society.
FRANCES M. FORD.
THE PRESENT STATUS OF THE CRITIC.
A propos of Poe, the Literary Dictator.
Where are the critics of old times, those Berserker men of might who, armed with only a fragile goose-quill, laid about them as with a bludgeon? Not to go so far back as the great autocrat, the tea-drinking doctor, or that dread creature who said: "This will never do," who, nowadays, would dare to put forth Macaulay's sweeping decrees? Who would stand as the spokesman of America as did Poe? He narrowed his field, moreover, to that of a sectionalalist; he was the champion of southern poetry against the northern literati, yet he was listened to by the north as well as the south. Loyal, devoted to his muse, he fought like a soldier for the just dues of poetry for careful scansion, for pure English, for sincerity. He had a scalpel for the genial excrescences of Longfellow's verse; of Lowell and Hawthorne. He checked the fulsome general worship of Elizabeth Barrett Browning while paying her a glowing tribute himself. He was great enough to say kind, meaningless nothings about the literary ladies of his acquaintance and lift them a round or two up the ladder of fame before they should slip off forever.
Poe took an easily and kept the chair of Sir Oracle among men of letters, although the bulk of his poetical work was so much less than that of his compeers, and, what was more, the temper of his mind was so uncertain. Would he have the same place now? Would he pull down the mighty from their seat to such general applause? Times have changed. Then a champion needed but the backing of one or two good magazines among the very few to command his public and quell cavillers. Now a score of reviews of reviews, of booklets on booklets, bandy the last word until the thought is all gone. He could now, as then, rely on his prestige as a poet. I doubt it he ever caused an irreverent smile that he asked for a change of lyre with Israfel. But this last month the critics made merry when a rhyme of Edmund Gosse said in substance that he had not the art of Shakespeare.
And Edmund Gosse holds very much the same position among lettered men of England that formerly belonged to Poe in America.
They might well be compared in learning, in artistic discrimination, in knowledge of form. But in criticism, the more modern writer had learned an urbanity and modesty which the older writer never had to assume. Poe, to have readers in these times, would have to discontinue the use of exuberant quotations from foreign languages, especially those a little wide of the mark. His provincial tone, his raising of the American flag or the southern crest would be pitied by the 5-cent weekly pamphlets. His self-made canons of form would have to yield before the theories even of the laity, properly taught. His fashion of repeating himself would be pointed out by the dullest. Then what would remain of Poe, the great critic? I am one who likes to believe that a great deal would remain. The authority would vanish, as do other authorities of these latter days, but the knightly spirit, the love of truth, the eye "that winces at false work and loves the true" cannot be imagined out of him any more than his matchless gift of song.
CLAIRE RUSTIN M'INTOSH.
Notes.
Collectors of American autographs, manuscripts, poetry, and first editions prize most highly things of this kind belonging to Poe, probably owing to the difficulty of obtaining them. Hawthorne ranks second in the list of "rare finds" and Longfellow and Whittier next.
Edgar Allan Poe was one of the first to appreciate Miss Barrett, afterward Mrs. Browning, as a poet. It is quite certain that he borrowed the repetend movement from her, as in "Tis Ever Thus." A LITTLE WOMAN FOR LUCK

Some of the world's greatest books lay apparently dead for months after issuing from the press; A notable example of the last generation was "Vanity Fair." Benjamin Kidd's book, now undoubtedly the most popular work of its kind, slept the first six months of its life.
This seems to be a period of evolution and our literature in common with other growing things takes on the character of the hour. "The Evolution of Industry," by Henry Dyer and published by Macmillan, stands a sort of companion to Kidd's "Social Evolution," published by the same house.
Lovers of George Eliot will be gratified at the announcement made by Merrill & Baker of New York of a cabinet Illustrated edition of her works, which may be purchased either in the set, including Cross's "Life," or singly and at a very reasonable price. The books are embellished with exquisite etchings. The paper and printing are perfect and in every way it is the best American edition of this great woman's works.
The royalties on Eugene Field's "With Trumpet and Drum" are paid to his eldest daughter, Mary French Field.
Ibsen has produced in his last play, "Little Eyolf," a simple and appealing thing possessing none of the "unknown" qualities of the "Master Builder," but presenting instead many attributes entitling it to rank beside "The Wild Duck."
In speaking of the late Christina Rossetti, the scholar and devoted helper of her brother, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Theodore Watts, says: "Steel said of a certain lady that to know her was a liberal education," but in describing the sweet lady and poet and saint of whom I am to write, Steele's eulogy would have to be amended in something after this fashion: "To know her was an education of the heart and a purifying of the soul."
A prominent critic after examining Grant Allen's book, "The Woman Who Did," adds rather significantly that the title ought to be completed so that it would read "The Woman Who Did Nothing." He closes an uncomplimentary criticism by saying that the novel possesses the one unpardonable fault of a novel - dullness.
The latest biographer of Napoleon is Prof. William M. Sloane of Princeton, who is contributing to the Century the serial now attracting so much attention. He is the son of an Ohio pioneer who served as president of at least two colleges in that state. Prof. Sloane has demonstrated by the few numbers of his "Napoleon" already published that he is a vigorous and accurate writer. Talney said of him: "He knows France better than any other foreigner I have ever met." He has been at Princeton eighteen years, nine of the time as teacher in Latin and eleven as professor of history. It is interesting to note that he received his inspiration for historic work from George Bancroft, while serving as secretary to him in Germany.
Mrs. Humphry Ward takes her first essay a serial story, writing for the May Scribner, which will contain the first part of a novel called "The Story of D'Osgood Costello."
"The Poet on the Poets" is certainly a catching title. Such is the name of a little book compiled by Mrs. Richard Starchy and made up of leading quotes from our great poets on their art. The work contains Sidney's "Apology to Wordsworth," the famous preface to "The Lyrical Ballads," by Wordsworth and Shelley's "Defense of Poetry" among its other selections. The interest of the book to students of poetry must be great in that within its small compass we shall be able to state why for the various poetic methods that have become standard owing to their usage by famous poets.
There is a new "Trilby," really older than the sesame Trilby which has so recently solved all questions from the naming of a corn salve to furnishing the plot for the latest drama. The story was originally written in French by Charles Nordler and the complete title is "Trilby, the Fairy of Argyll." Some notable differences between this older story and Du Maurier's are to be found: First, the story of M. Nordler depends entirely for its interest on the magic attached to the Trilby of today and is being issued through a translation purely as a literary curiosity. Trilby is a fairy in the old tale and it follows, it our childhood's doctrine of fairies be correct, that the fairies' feet were small; she is a boy this time, a fact that takes some of the romance out of our notions of Trilby. The publishers, Bates & Lauriat, took extreme care before its appearance in the bookstores, to prevent us from being stolen by some other house. Nevertheless, another translation appeared almost simultaneously, published by another house. THE EDITOR.
Written Upon Her 80th Anniversary by Mrs. F. M. Durias.
The morning of life, with its bright golden hours, Its sunshine and shadow, Its buds and Its flowers, All laden with fragrance, passed quickly away, Too rich in Its beauty, too brilliant to stay. The noontide of life, so fervent and glowing, Like wine in the chalice, Its measure overflowing, With Its joys and Its sorrows, together have flown, But memory still clings to the joys I have known. Sometimes life's path went over the mountain, Where bright waters gushed from each sunny fountain, But whether over mountain, or ocean, or land, I journeyed so slowly, He still held my hand. Sometimes the way seemed dreary and lone, When my sweet posies faded in life's early morn. "Grieve not," said my Savior, "they are blooming above, In the garden of Heaven, all safe in my love. Weep not for your flowers, so sweet and so fair, Each bud is expanded in Heaven's soft air." The voice was so gentle, so tender and kind, I gave up my treasures, and bowed at His feet. Once more came the angel, all radiant and bright, And bore off into his bosom a dear child from sight. My lily of lilies, so graceful and fair, Whose pure petals drooped in life's murky air. "My Savior is precious," was all she could say, And then with the angel went gladly away, Through the bright pearly gates, to the mansions of love Prepared for God's children in His kingdom above. The sobbing of anguish were hushed by the word, "Be still, faithless heart, and know I'm the Lord. In my beautiful garden a river is flowing, And on Its green banks your lily is growing. Long years spend on, less bright than before, And again the pale messenger stood at the door. Our hearts grew so heavy, we spoke not a word, For we knew that the angel was Jesus the Lord. We saw not His glory, but we felt He had come, That the dear one we loved so would go with Him home. A soft voice then whispered: "Oh, be not dismayed, Thy Savior is near thee, will comfort and aid. Thy loved one so trusted, thy stay and thy light, I have called over life's checkered path, From thy side to his bright home in glory, In the realms of the blest, From sin and from sorrow forever at rest." Through the storm and the sunshine of life's devious way, The love of my children hath crowned all Their love falls upon me like the dew on the flowers, Gladdening life's pathway and brightening its hours. The shadows of evening, so soft and so deep, Are failing around me on forest and hill; The dew-laden flowers have an added perfume, And the star-petaled Jessamine opens its bloom. I catch the faint echoes that seem not of earth, But the voices of loved ones, calling me; I hear the low sighing of soft winds so And I listen for the fall of the angels' feet. Beyond the dark mountain there shineth a star, So bright in its refulgence, no shadow can reach; It shineth over the way, where the dark river And the crests of the billows are burnished with gold. Though rough be the waters, so turbid and deep, The hand of my boat Jesus keeps in his hold, Till the bark grates its keel on the bright silver strand, And my feet touch the shore of God's Better Land.

that of oil pltecs where women should be ,
"It Is In tha professional ministration to her

a Dr. Hammond , who assures us that \\e can

there are "marked points of difference In the

mains , that we are In the profession and
doing the work 16,000 of us and Dr. Spltka ,
the great specialist and authority on anatomy ,
nays : "No man living could distinguish the

He said : "Tho brain of the average woman

Kreat nnd good man , but by actual weight
"his brain was found to be lighter than that

From earliest times the doctrine of hered
ity has received attention , and now It Is an
accepted fact that each child Inherits char
acteristics physical , mental and moral , from
the parents.
This Idea Is not new to stockmen , who
will not deal In Inferior cattle or allow those
of good pedigree to cross with poor , their
Idea bjlng to produce a higher grade of stock
which experience proves can only be uoue
by careful breeding. So patricians and those
of royal blood will not allow Inter-marriage
with these In the lower walks of life. Is not
the future of humanity of equal importance
with that of our cattle , and should there
not bo as much Interest manifested In the
health of our children and garndchlldren as
Is shown by breeders In their stock ?
There nre those who , knowing of latent
disease within themselves , have novcr mar
ried , but they are the e\coptlon. Diseases
of the pprcnts ara perpetuated In their chil
dren and grandchildren , more especially
where both have the same hereditary disease ,
as consumption , cancer , Insanity and nlcohol-
lii one foreign country Insanity Is Inherited
ns often from the grandparent ns the parent ,
nnd alcoholism Is found more frequently In
the second generation than the first ,
The more free from constitutional taint
n child Is , thrf less liable lo contagion Is he ,
and the less violent Is the course of all acute
diseases ho may contract When wo consult
a physician for some obscure trouble , he
almost Invariably asks questions concerning
the family history , and bases his diagnosis
prognosis and prescription thereon.
Wo find that laws governing mental and
moral characteristics are not less prominent
than those relating to the physical. History
furnishes us many Instances of mental great
ness perpetuated , ns the Uach family , noted
musicians through two centuries. IJut we
also nnd through Gallon , I believe , that
mental greatness Is not so liable to be perpetuated -
potuated as moral depravity.
Soma families are prominent only by their
lives of crime. The Max Jukes family Is
perhaps as well Known as nny of recent
times. The family cost the state million of
dollars , nnd of the descendants during
seventy-five years , G70 grew to be criminals
and dspraved characters , while 300 died pie-
inalurely.
The case Is recorded of a prominent busi
ness man , a wine drinker for many years , In
perfect health , and still , In his family of
eleven , five died young and six lived to be-
ccino Inmates of asylums.
Perhaps the most terrible legacy to leave
n child Is an Inherited appetlto for strong
drink , and that Is what thousands of men
do lenve , nnd all they leave to their children
Heredity should certainly not bo despised
when wo nre responsible for posterity , and
especially upon Ihc young fathers and mothers
dees this depend ,
Same Interest ng facts were lately prcsentoJ
by a I'lttsburg paper , showing the Influence
the work of the mother during pregnancy has
upon the child.
An Australian lady had three children
Before the birth of the first , a girl , the
mother was cbllgcd to sew nnd plan for
herself. Before the second , a girl , was born
lier occupation was the study of literature
anil art , and before the third , a boy , her
i\ork was more mechanical.
Bach child showed a special adaptation for
the work slio performed before Its birth.
Another case , her friend , had four children
who became prominent In ornithology , medi
cine , art and general housework , the work
of the mother being along these lines before
their blrt/i.
The boya and girls of today are developing
Into what their children will be. nnd can we
not give them a lltllo more education along
these lines ? Teach them Clod's plans con
cerning their physical bodies ; answer them
faithfully , lovingly , by beautiful Illustrations.
Tench then self control , to live for others ,
teach them that bad habits , If formed while
young will also be the habits of their children ,

Sleep Is a state of repose In which there
is a temporary si pension of the higher
functions of the central nervous systems with
vary little change la the constructive and
nutrltlvu nativities and la nature's best
chanca to generate bodily strength and restore -
store mental \\eor. \
All organs have a period of functional real ,
whllo energy It generated to replace that pre
viously exhausted during the period of ac
tivity. For Illustration we will notice the
action of the heart , which pauses one-thlnl
of the tlnio during each cycle of action , the
turn of these little Intervals amounting to
eight hours ot rest In each twenty-four hours
of time.
flie waste of nervous tissue and energy In
volve ! by mental activity Is recuperated only
when the ccrebal centers are In a state of
complete repose , that Is , during sleep.
During this period the brain I * anaemic , a
condition claimed by some physiologists to bo
a part of the phenomenon , the remote cause
being a diminished Irritability of the cells
of the brain produced by the benumbing
effect ot the win-to material circulating In
th * blood ; others declare cerebal anaemia , to
be the Immediate cause of sleep. This theory
was Illustrated by Fleming , who produce !
profound and natural sleep nt will by pressIng -
Ing firmly upon both carotid arteries.
The digestive organs , after the Ingrestlon
of a hearty meal , drain the system ot a great
amount of blood and n feeling of drowsiness
ciuurs , resulting In the desire for an after
dinner nap. In all probability the phe
nomenon of sleep results physiologically from
some stimulus Imparted by the tired brain
to the sympathetic system ot nerves that
ontrol the greater part of the circulatory
ppiratui , causing a contraction of the central
rtcrlcs and thus diminishing the Bupply of
tool to the brain.
Itoforo passing Into this state ot sleep the
ndlvldual experiences a feeling ot tlronsl-
icss , sluggish mental activity , muscular ro-
nxatlon and diminution of the acutcncss of
ho special senses tilt at last ho becomes
ompletcly unconscious ,
During the period of repose sleep varies
n Intensity , being deeper about two hours
ifcer the onset and uctuallng between
his nnd the state of waking In accordance
i > ltlr the Influence of external and Internal
tlmull.
When volition Is suspended , preceding or
allowing tha period ot deepest slumber , oc-
ur the varied productions of the mind
< nown as dreams , which are but tbo result
f reflex stimulations ot various origins and
iropcrly called "Creations ot the mind. "
lhat a dreamless sleep Is the only physio
logical utnte of rest cannot bo assumed , but
nn of refreshing character Is certainly that
designed by nature , and Is as essential to
erfect health ns proper food for baby
growth or regular exorcise for muscular de
velopment. The length of time a person
: an live without any sleep Is estimated at
hreo weeks , the same period that ho may
exist without food.
Normal sleep Is modified by the Influence
of ago , BOX , Individuality , and to some ex-
en t by occupation , race and climate.
In Infancy , when the organism undergoes
most rapid development , from fourteen to
sixteen hours a day are spent In sleep , but
as ago advances the requirements are les
Ecncd by the balance of the opposing forces ,
tvasto and repair , till In adult life the nal
unil lest covers a period ot about eight
"lours and gradually shortens.
Women need from one-half to ono hour
moro sleep than men. Some people are so
constituted as to require but six hours , while
'or others ten or twelve are necessary. People
ple who drop off to sleep quickly and sleep
soundly nro capable of performing a greater
amount ot mental or physical labor than
tlioBQ who find It dlfllcult to get to sleep and
are nwnkencd easily.
It Is said that brain-workers as a class
sleep less than laborers , and that among
northern races and In colder climes sleep Is
sounder and of longer duration.
No definite rules can be laid down to
meet the requirements ot all Individuals , but
from tha analogy of the heart's rest wo
reason that at least one-third of the tlmo
should bo spout In sleep.

The term electricity Is derived from the
Greek word meaning amber , because as the
story goes Tliales , one ot the seven sages of
Greece , first discovered the manifestation ot
tl is force by rubbing a piece of amber with
a dry cloth. As long ago as the days of
Pliny necklaces of amber were worn for
the sake ot tholr remedial power.
The early history of electricity and medi
cine Is shrouded in obscurity. It dates
back to the mythical and legendary ages.
U Is said that ages ago the Inhabitants of
western Africa were accustomed to dip their
slclc In the waters where lay the electric
flsh. The magnet and Its mysterious power
was known to the ancients , although wo do
not know that they used It extensively to
cure diseases. The load stone In Europe
during the middle agca aroused considerable
attention In tills line. The first electrical
machine was made In 1G72 , It consisted ol
a globa ot sulphur turned on Its axis by
ono hand and pressed against the other. In
the latter part of tbo eighteenth century
frlctlonal machines and Loyilen jars were
used , Ihe sparka and shocks therefrom
wrought numbers of cures , These appliances
for generating electricity were bulky , and ,
being more or less dependent on atmospheric
changes , were untrustworthy. The opera
tors were battled In tholr earlier attempts at
growth through lack of needful support from
the allied and fundamental sciences. They
had to wait for physics , physiology ami
pathology to como to their rescue , which In
duo time they have done and are doing. In
these early experiments the results ot dU-
fft were treated and not tha cHueaiie It
elf ; application * wore made to tha seat *
ot symptoms , Instead ot the seal of ( he
disease , hence numerous blunders anil fail
ure * . Many of thoio early experimenters
were of the laity , or these > ho however emi
nent In other walks knew little or nothing
of medicine. The unlearned are lomotlmcs
willing to trrnil where ho who known Just
enough to fear hesitates U remained for
the nineteenth century and the latter half
of that to Investigate anil develop the uses
of electricity an a remedial agent. We. In
this age , only claim to be on the border
land. What power hidden away In this
great field may yet bo disclosed ? Who can
tell ? Great Improvements have been made
and are bring made In the apparatus of
today. Appliances arc * to be had for all
parts of the body , and by means of a mil-
llnmpero meter the amount ot electricity In
uso. can bo measured , the operator not hav
ing to depend upon his own sense of touch.
The rheotome Interrupts the current BO that
shocks can bo given when needed with per
fect case.
Electricity Is not a panacea for all Ills
to which flesh Is heir , yet It Is Indicated In
a wide range of dltordcrs. I have found
It peculiarly helpful In diseases of women
and the nervous system In general , the In-
catod remedy can be gl\en at the same
"mo treatments ore being taken and they
111 not connict. niectrlclty nlds nutrition.
Emulates by economizing the forces In
is system and allays Irritation , thus rellev-
ng pain. A very marked and permanent
Tect Is Improvement In sleep , after gen-
ral treatment. The Immediate effects of
cncral faradization arc feelings of cxhllara-
on , relief of pain , drowsiness anl Increa'c
arnith of body , much the same as a cool
ath or brisk walk , only moro lasting. U Is
ften the case that the tonic effects arc
elt moro keenly after the treatments arc
bandoned , Just as the tonic effects of a
oyago or a trip are not always appro-
atcd till the return homo has been made
nd work again resumed. It Is In tlio lub-
cute or chronic diseases that electricity
as Its greatest field of action. Electric
reatmonts In my opinion should always bo
hen by one who understands the effects
nd causes of disease as well as the effects
f electricity. If given properly It Is a very
omplcx study. How , therefore , can an
mateur or a novice be expected to under-
tand tha time and method of application.

This subject Is of the greatest Importance
o mothers , or to any onq to whom ls given

A variety of food Is essential to the perfecl

his variety with a lavish hand. The , whole
inlinal and vegetable kingdom are before , us
'or our Intelligent selection. The nitrogen
ous foods contribute most to the growth ot
ho body. Milk , eggs , rice , and oth'r cereals
are much superior to oat meal , which too
often forms the breakfast of our children
Oat meal used continuously often causes

years would cat one graham cracker with

and weaken the most perfect digestion , in a

Ono of them told me that when a child a
whole meal would often be made ot mince

were all allowed to eat. I wish I could Im
press every mother with the Importance of

IIIK XKir WOMAN.
"Tho new woman Is distinctly a nineteenth
cenlury producl , a result of its necessities
and civilization. She U not an example of
atavlc reversion , nor a sign of mental and
moral decadence or retrogression as alarm-
lath would have us believe. The right of an
Individual to do anything can be measured
only by hlo or her ability to do that Ihlng
well. It a woman practices' law or medicine
or any other vocation successfully , her right
to do so Is no longer a matter of question.
It is claimed that Ihe Interest of other pur
suits will lead the new woman to abandon
her natural vocation that ot bearing and
rearing children. Does anyone seriously be-
llova that woman will ever forget the obliga
tions of the heart ? Is nature so easily
thwarted ? Because a woman's character ha.
been ennobled and developed , her mind
trained and her best powers called forth by
rsslduous devotion to a noble calling It does
not follow that she will not love and marry ,
but she will raise the standard of marriage
and there will bo less prostitution , both in
and out of the conjugal relation.
Physiologically the new woman Is a vast
Improvement over the other woman. She Is
not a delicate , pallid , emotional , unknown
quantity She Is a creation full of energy
and decision. She takes systematic stock of
her vital capital and endeavors In every way
to Increase It. She lives In a hygienic , regu
lar fashion , eats three meals a day , is fond
ot athletics and keeps In touch with the
world mentally anJ physically
She is not quite perfect , this new woman ,
she Is somewhat perturbed by the new stand
she has taken ; Its duties and responsibilities
frighten her a little and she Is acutely con
sclous that the world Is gazing nt her with
critical eye , but she is following out the
natural law of Individual differentiation ,
which will clearly outline her true status.
Narrow , prejudiced , illiberal people do netlike
like the new woman , particularly If she Is
practicing medicine , and lose no opportunity
to decry her virtues and belittle her efforts.
Conscious ot superior training nnd thorough
for her work thlu
preparation up-to-date
woman has come to stay , regardless of the
opinion of those who believe lhat sex rather
than ability should measure the rights of
the Individual. She discards all pathtes ,
creeds and questionable methods , thinking
only ot an honest and honorable career. She
does not pose as a natural born doctor , she
dou not nauseate you with stories of a pre
cocious childhood wherein she dosrd her dolU
and evinced other phenomenal characteristics ,
she 1s too honest to work the church racket
and too sincere to pray "to be seen of
women. " Quackery Is of two kinds. There
Is the educated , pseudoiclentlflc sort and the
blatant quackery practised by the Ignorant
charlatans. The latter does little harm for
ho runu may read , but the- former is per
nicious and far reaching In Its effects. It Is
the same old story ot the comparative at
tractiveness of vice In high and low circles.
She Is quite convinced that It la not the sur
vival of the fittest just yet , but of the unfit-
test who push end crowd nslJo the woman
who does not work for revenue only. This
question of getting on In the world has pros
tituted the noble profession of medicine until
It has become a disgusting barter for busi
ness not unlike the competition of the > busi
ness world. U It not always a question of
how much can I benefit ray patient , but bow
much can I realize financially ?
And then there Is her toclal status to ba
considered. Llko the profession of teaching
It b n yet unirfUf r One woold
( lint woman of rrtvnrl education And culture
would ho recelvcd uxwli r * In good noc-lcty ,

perltnra In n social ny vvllll makp InterestIng -

Hut there nte coniepginitlions cvn to the
pioneer In medicine. There- will always be
"ound modest , sensible , thinking women who
nay not wear thr latest gen , nor simple
or social position , who will appreciate her
rvlces. To all such she will give her ben
kill and faithful attention. Jealous of her
olIe.iRues ? Never , unless they fall to come
p to her standard of mental , moral and scl-
ntlflc fitness.

Would you llko to know something of the
experiences of n lady physician In Nebraska
nearly thlrly years ago ? Well , I can tell
you of the llrncs when in a clly of seven or
eight thousand people there was no such
thing as a hack or a cab to Be secured and
no telephone to call one. No street cars
cither propelled by mule power or electri
city , had even been thought of. No gas

rough roads .impres ed pnp vividly with the

Her Manyuines has a fanners wagon
( and once a bay rack ) driven'to the door
to take the doctor to see a patient
all the way from ten to fifteen miles.
Would yotl llko to go through an experi
ence with her. It was on an evening In
October the family were gathered In the
cozy Blttiiig roam , a 'oud Knork came lo
Iho door. A man from Iho country ten or
twelve miles wanted the doctor lo go Im
mediately wllh him. It Is midnight ere
they reach their desllnallon The- physi
cian sleps Into the room vvhero the sick
lady was lying on the bed exhausted , rroro
like a dead person than a llvo one. No
experienced nurse Is In attendance , In facl
there Is no nurse at all UseJcSa to give
medicine and leave directions with the fam
ily The woman would bo dead In a few
hours unless she was properly atlended lo
and cared for. There Is nolhlng else for It
the doctor has to go to work to save her
patient's-life , and so worked till daylight
gratified then that the sick one appears to
bo out of danger , she Is taken back to
town apaln In the aamo elegant conveyance
which had taken her out the night before
There Is a hope on reaching homo there
will bo a chance for a little rest after the
arduous night. Hut no" " Mr T has been
watting for some time to sea the doctor
The baby has had a terrible tpasni , and Mrs
N's boy Is very &lcU with laryngitis , and
must bo seen soon.
The poor doctor , all tired out , scarce
knows which ono she ought to go to first
Mrs. N's family nro very reliable pallenls
but the baby with the tpasm may die ii
not attended to , o she makes her way to
Iho poor man's house and treats the baby ,
and gets away as soon as possible lo see
Mrs. N's sick boy , and ho was sick Indeed
his condition very dangerous The doclor
prescribes bill cannot leave , for the anxious
worn out mother Is the only nurse there
After a while leave ot absence Is obtalne
to go and visit other patlenls
with a promise to return as
soon as possible. An hour's sleep Is
all that can be snatched from the busy day
and In the evening the doctor returns to
Mrs. N's. The boy Is still very sick , though
there Is some Improvement. The family can
not think of letting Ihe doctor go , but Insls
that she must stay with them through Ihe
night , for their child Is very precious to
them. She may be able to get some sleep
but anyway they can't let her go. They
would rather pay any amount of money
Sorry to say , when the bill was presents
the money seemed RO much harder to pa ;
than It did that night. During that da ;
various patients had been visited and pro
scribed for , besides many prescriptions were
made at the office At 5 p. m. the physician
was nodding In Her'easy chair , but was
awakened by footsttppj on the porch , am
another country rirle before her. Arriving
at the house the fnlorxof onions and coffe <
mot her at Its entratrco ; the former hai
been used as a poulUtfj and the latter as a
disinfectant , or to hide the odor of the dread
ful disease , dlphlherila' . These were soon for
gotten , such a lerrlbl scene presented llself
a child of about 3 yrfarsvas restlessly tossing
over Ihe bed wllh'blobd running from It
nose nnd mouth Tl watt a most mallgnan
case of dlptherla aryl the child died befor
Ihe physician left Uio Ionise. It was one of
large family and t\vp , or three of the othe
children were sick , , , Medicine was left fo
them with direction ? at near midnight , Hi
doctor promising yj > be'there the next da >
Inside of two days twelve cases of mallgnan
dlptheria developed. In the neighborhood
Husy ? well I should bay1 BO ; sleep was nearl
out ot the questionaii-1 rest Impossible , A !
came through butl onei boy of 5 years o
age belonging to theEamo family where th
first case was , and the doctor was grieved t
lose a patient.
I am afraid I will weary you with thes
commonplace difficulties 'of a physician's liter
or I could tell fcO much more ot cases o
various diseases and many experiences , fo
the physician has to go day and night.

Inherited nnil I'rcn.itiil Influence.
Heredity Is defined by one writer as "Tha
law by which all beings endowed wltti lit
tend to repeat themselevs In their descend
ants. "
In the physical world every created beln
Inherits the characteristics of Its own species
Its cxlernal and internal structure , its aensa
tlons and Its actions are all peculiar to It
own speciea.
Even more , these Inherited qualities , bet
mental and moral , which form the character
wo have noticed In families , If we study th
history In different nations we cannot fall t
olleo tlio name. The characlerlnllca of the
"rcneh , Scotch. German and KnglUli are to
veil defined as to bo patent to even a catJnl
bwrver.
Caics ot mental ni well an physical her-
tllty nro too numerous to be the result ot
icre chance , as some have lieUl. Thry lead
s to the practical question of heicdIUry
ransmlsslon. Rven acquired hnblti may de-
cencl from one generation to another , far
nstancc , drunkcmuss , theft , and the baser
lgous ,
There Is not a better example of cruelty In
II history than tlio Emperor Nero , tils
mother , ARrlpplna , was noted as n cruel ,
ensital woman , nnd hli father , Domltlus ,
ould put his servants to death for the MlRht-
at offense. He was wont to say , "Of mend
nd Agrlpplni nothing can bo born that Is
iot accursed. "
Ho evidently had grasped the truth which
nany better and wiser than he , even In the
Iklit of the nineteenth century , teem to
snore. In but few countries docs the law
ecognl/o the fact.
In China , however , according to the old
ode , when a man has committed a capital
Time , even his turns arc put to death.
Heredity has much moro Influence over the
Mental than over the physical , for Instance ,
he mothers of Napoleon Ilonapartc , Washing-
on and Alexander the Great , wore women of
trong Intelligence and Indomitable will
Tills subject Is of vital Importance to par-
tils. Upon Ihe mothers ot today depends
argcly what shall be the future ot humanity.
The mother before the birth of her child has
hat power we call almost divine , of rnould-
ng the character. She can hardly realize
he noble work placed In tier hands , creating
latures strong , iclf-rellant , powerful for
grand , noble action , whoso Influence shall go
on forever. Could the mother see this In
ts true light she would be filled with awe
at Ihe extent of her power nnd responsibility.
We look almost with envy upon Rosi Bon-
ieur , the skillful artist who can bring out
ipon the canvas the most beautiful designs ,
nit does not the mother possess n greater
) ewer ? Every tlioughl , every Impulse of
lers Is laying 01 foundation upon which In
after years may be reared a superstructure of
character which , for good or for evil , will
exist forever

The night nnilVrnnc of It.
There Is much being said upon this sub-
ect each year and like- the "silver question"
and "tariff" It seems difficult of solution.
Certainly no one- doubts for a moment the
lecesslty of a thorough medical education.
The tlnio for charms , the talisman and
ancestral traditions has passed. Make the
standard ns high as possible , but let the
responsibility bo , placed , so far ns It can
30 upon any ono uxcept the Individual , with
the colleges.
The registered diploma from an accredited
college should bo all the requirement de
manded by the stato. The course of study
should be , it least four jcars. This with the
severe and exhaustive examinations and the
final decision of these who have directed
these .similes , supplemented by the board
of censoru , and In state universities by Iho
board of regents , all this should stand for
something
The spectacle of practitioners of years of
valuable experience nnd demonstrated ability
jolng before an "examining board" to be
tested as to their fitness is ono which no
self respecting physician will over toleralo
or personally submit lo.
In an address to tlio class ot ' 95 from
the Omaha Medical college we find this
sentence : "Not twenty-flvo of the ph > slclans
In tlio city of Omaha could pass the ex
amination required of Ihose just gradu
ating. " That Is undoubtedly true , nor will
that class bo able lo pass lhat same ex
amination flvo years from now without a
great deal of study on technicalities to
freshen the memory. This physician would
not presume to say that the services of Ihcso
graduates are as valuable lo Ihe community
as that of the experienced physicians who
have put these theories Into practice until
Ihey know Ihe value or otherwise ( and
there is a great deal of otherwise ) of each.
Some of the most brilliant students have
failed utterly to apply that knowledge , prac
tically , at the bedside. It requires a deal
of good Judgment and common sense to
decide , what to do or not to do In a given
case Often the latter is of the greatest
Importance It Is not a question of how wo
* hrcT"taush7 { lur or 'wTiat wo "Know After
jcars of successful practice , particularly In
the case of a specialist whoso service may
bo of Inestimable value to the state nnd
who , by virtue of that special work may
nnd does very largely , drop general lines of
work. It would bo almost Impossible for
him to go as a stranger before any board
and pass an examination which would at
all compare with the recent graduates
Tliero have been cases of this kind which
have opened the cjes of many , who are
now talking earnestly of repealing such
laws , based as they are upon the monopoly
of the few rather than Ihe good of Iho
many.
The duty of state boards should be to ex
amine diplomas presented , to Know that
they have been honorably procured , to
know the standard and requirements ot the
colleges from which they have como and to
see that only phjslclans so authorized are
allowed to practice In the state.
It Is hard to protect people against them
selves. The greatest menace to life and
health comes from self-prescribing and
patent medicines. There Is a greater crop
of chronic diseases from poisons thus taken
than from any other ono cause People
cheerfully swallow anything from "Lydla
Plnkham compound" to "Pink pills" or
"Klckapoo Indian syrup , " and only physical
Incapacity hinders them from taking bottles
tles and labels as well Prescriptions are
given to be taken for a few days , but are
refilled again and again and continued for
weeks until the toxic effect Is produced and
the condition is worse than It was In tha
beginning. Then there are poor drugs on
the market. It is difficult to know what wo
are using and Indiscriminate counter pro-
scrlb.ng Is only second in danger lo self-
prescribing People will buy medicines
brought to their doors which are warranted
to cure anything fiom cancers to corns , and
ten chances to one thai It Ihoy have neither ,
they will take It and apply It until they do
have something which has Iho taaln features
of bolh.
"The health ot the people should bo the
firsj. regard of every government" "Thero
are laws to protect animals , but no laws to
protect the people. " Nothing more true.
Hut people are not property and animals
are , and It Is a vary superficial observer
who does not know the relative value of
life and property. Look at the sweat shops
and child labor , the white slaves al Pull
man and Homestead , Iho mlno disasters
from Insufficient protection to workmen.
Remember the 100,000 who yearly go down
before the. protected liquor tralllc ; the boys
stunted and .men enervated through the
cigarette trade , the licensed brothel , Iho
average life of whose victims Is but seven
years , not to mention Iho disease handed
down to the generations unborn ; notlco the
cheerfully paid thousands to the lawyer who
has saved property to his client ; but the
physician who has spent sleepless nights
and almost foodless days in tbo Interest ol
his patient who thinks of compensation
upon this basis ?
Then when long years have been given
to preparation and service , when such bur
dens ha\o been carried as only these in
the profession can understand , the awful re
sponsibility of Ufa which bring Iho early
wrinkles and frosts the hair with silver ;
then when , perchance for health or other
reasons a change ot location becomes de
sirable ho finds all this counts for nothing.
Ho Is confronted by the "cxanuilng board , '
which Is made up largely of political Influ
ence , personal friendship , self-Interest ant
school prejudice It Is small wonder thai
the self-respecting physician , conscious ol
his ability , declines to enter states having
such laws , and It will bo found today thai
some of these states are already beginning
to realize tholr mistake ,
"Let tbo health ot the people be the first
regard of the government" by all means
but let the government , whether municipal ,
state or national , begin those reforms vvhero
they are needed.
Our medical colleges with their rights o
charter , their well equipped service and
honorable men and women as teachers may
safely bo Irubtcd with the Interests of the
people. We wish they had , no greater
dangers.

It seems to be the mission of one-half of mankind to point out and disprove the mistakes of the other half. One of the most ancient and time-honored sayings, which has been repeated, parrot-like, until we have come to believe it true, is that "women cannot stand on their own; they exist only to look at the work being done by women for women, to see, without argument being necessary, that of all fallacies this is one of those farthest from the truth. The ready response and hearty cooperation of the women represented by the articles upon this page is an added proof of this fact.
Here we stand, shoulder to shoulder, upon the broad platform of usefulness to humanity, to bear the burdens, to cheer the despondent, to relieve the suffering of those who need help. We represent different schools of medicine, different creeds in religion, and different parties in politics, but we are one, in love for our kind, and the determination and preparation to make the world at least a little bit brighter and better. We do not talk much of our "rights"; we simply take them. It is very much easier, and has the advantage of conclusive proof of our position. It is much better to do a thing than to say you can do it. We have no controversy with the men in the profession. They recognize the fact that of all places where women should be, it is in the professional ministration to their own sex. As a rule, they are kindly and courteous. They treat us like "men and brethren." To be sure, we meet occasionally a Dr. Hammond, who assures us that we can never do the work of the profession, because there are "marked points of difference in the male and female brain." But the fact remains, that we are in the profession and doing the work, 16,000 of us and Dr. Spitzka, the great specialist and authority on anatomy, says: "No man living could distinguish the male from the female brain by post-mortem examination." Then Prof. Lischoff of Munich spent much time in this brain business. He said: "The brain of the average woman is smaller and lighter than that of the average man; she cannot possibly, therefore, attain his intellectual level." But he died the other day at St. Peterburg. He was a great and good man, but by actual weight "his brain was found to be lighter than that of the average woman." Thus another precious theory falls to the ground. There seems to be something necessary besides weight. We call attention to the practical subjects which have been chosen for this page. Our professional women might have paralyzed us by their scientific knowledge and technical skill. They have rather shown the upshot running through their lives "usefulness" and give plain, simple, helpful suggestions, which may be appropriated by all.
We thank them most heartily, and trust that this mutual interest for the mutual good, may prove to be an added "tie" which binds.
From earliest times the doctrine of heredity has received attention, and now it is an accepted fact that each child inherits characteristics physical, mental, and moral, from the parents.
This idea is not new to stockmen, who will not deal in inferior cattle or allow those of good pedigree to cross with poor, their idea being to produce a higher grade of stock which experience proves can only be done by careful breeding. So patricians and those of royal blood will not allow inter-marriage with these in the lower walks of life. Is not the future of humanity of equal importance with that of our cattle, and should there not be as much interest manifested in the health of our children and grandchildren as is shown by breeders in their stock?
There are those who, knowing of latent disease within themselves, have never married, but they are the exception. Diseases of the parents are perpetuated in their children and grandchildren, more especially where both have the same hereditary disease, as consumption, cancer, insanity, and alcoholism. In one foreign country insanity is inherited as often from the grandparent as the parent, and alcoholism is found more frequently in the second generation than the first.
The more free from constitutional taint a child is, the less liable to contagion is he, and the less violent is the course of all acute diseases he may contract. When we consult a physician for some obscure trouble, he almost invariably asks questions concerning the family history, and bases his diagnosis, prognosis, and prescription thereon.
We find that laws governing mental and moral characteristics are not less prominent than those relating to the physical. History furnishes us many instances of mental greatness perpetuated, as the Bach family, noted musicians through two centuries. But we also find, through Galton, I believe, that mental greatness is not so liable to be perpetuated as moral depravity.
Some families are prominent only by their lives of crime. The Max Jukes family is perhaps as well known as any of recent times. The family cost the state millions of dollars, and of the descendants during seventy-five years, 670 grew to be criminals and depraved characters, while 300 died prematurely.
The case is recorded of a prominent businessman, a wine drinker for many years, in perfect health, and still, in his family of eleven, five died young and six lived to become inmates of asylums.
Perhaps the most terrible legacy to leave a child is an inherited appetite for strong drink, and that is what thousands of men do leave, and all they leave to their children.
Heredity should certainly not be despised when we are responsible for posterity, and especially upon the young fathers and mothers, for this depends.
Some interesting facts were lately presented by a Pittsburgh paper, showing the influence the work of the mother during pregnancy has upon the child.
An Australian lady had three children. Before the birth of the first, a girl, the mother was charged to sew and plan for herself. Before the second, a girl, was born, her occupation was the study of literature and art, and before the third, a boy, her work was more mechanical.
Each child showed a special adaptation for the work she performed before its birth.
Another case, her friend, had four children who became prominent in ornithology, medicine, art, and general housework, the work of the mother being along these lines before their birth.
The boys and girls of today are developing into what their children will be, and can we not give them a little more education along these lines? Teach them God's plans concerning their physical bodies; answer them faithfully, lovingly, by beautiful illustrations.
Teach then self-control, to live for others, teach them that bad habits, if formed while young, will also be the habits of their children, to cause them sorrow in after years that the laws of God are fixed, and as He says, "He will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generations," so it will be.
Dr. Mary Wood Allen of Ann Arbor, Mich., has written a pamphlet, "Child Confidence," that is instructive along this line and should be read by every mother or prospective mother.
It is an "expose" of the erroneous ideas of the average mother's child-teaching and should become as popular with mothers as "Comstock's Financial School" is with fathers. NUTTII II. MANN, M.D.

"Self help hath its own world."
A boundary between the things misnamed,
Death and existence.
Sleep is a state of repose in which there
is a temporary suspension of the higher
functions of the central nervous system with
very little change in the constructive and
nutritive activities and in nature's best
chance to generate bodily strength and restore
mental vigor.
All organs have a period of functional rest,
while energy is generated to replace that previously
exhausted during the period of activity. For
illustration we will notice the action of the heart,
which pauses one-third of the time during each cycle
of action, the turn of these little intervals
amounting to eight hours of rest in each twenty-four
hours of time.
The waste of nervous tissue and energy involved
by mental activity is recuperated only
when the cerebral centers are in a state of
complete repose, that is, during sleep.
During this period the brain is anaemic, a
condition claimed by some physiologists to be
a part of the phenomenon, the remote cause
being a diminished irritability of the cells
of the brain produced by the benumbing
effect of the wine-like material circulating in
the blood; others declare cerebral anaemia to
be the immediate cause of sleep. This theory
was illustrated by Fleming, who produced
profound and natural sleep at will by pressing
firmly upon both carotid arteries.
The digestive organs, after the ingestion of a
hearty meal, drain the system of a great
amount of blood and a feeling of drowsiness
churns, resulting in the desire for an after
dinner nap. In all probability, the phenomenon
of sleep results physiologically from
some stimulus imparted by the tired brain
to the sympathetic system of nerves that
control the greater part of the circulatory
apparatus, causing a contraction of the central
arteries and thus diminishing the supply of
blood to the brain.
Before passing into this state of sleep, the
individual experiences a feeling of tension,
sluggish mental activity, muscular relaxation and
diminution of the acuteness of the special senses
that at last he becomes completely unconscious.
During the period of repose, sleep varies
in intensity, being deeper about two hours
after the onset and fluctuating between
this and the state of waking in accordance
with the influence of external and internal
stimuli.
When volition is suspended, preceding or
allowing the period of deepest slumber, occur
the varied productions of the mind
known as dreams, which are but the result
of reflex stimulations of various origins and
appropriately called "Creations of the mind."
That a dreamless sleep is the only physiological
state of rest cannot be assumed, but
one of refreshing character is certainly that
designed by nature, and is as essential to
perfect health as proper food for baby
growth or regular exercise for muscular development.
The length of time a person can live without any sleep
is estimated at three weeks, the same period that he may
exist without food.
Normal sleep is modified by the influence
of age, sex, individuality, and to some extent by occupation,
race, and climate.
In infancy, when the organism undergoes
most rapid development, from fourteen to
sixteen hours a day are spent in sleep, but
as age advances the requirements are less
enclosed by the balance of the opposing forces,
waste and repair, till in adult life the natural
and least covers a period of about eight
hours and gradually shortens.
Women need from one-half to one hour
more sleep than men. Some people are so
constituted as to require but six hours, while
for others ten or twelve are necessary. People
who drop off to sleep quickly and sleep
soundly are capable of performing a greater
amount of mental or physical labor than
those who find it difficult to get to sleep and
are awakened easily.
It is said that brain workers as a class
sleep less than laborers, and that among
northern races and in colder climates sleep is
sounder and of longer duration.
No definite rules can be laid down to
meet the requirements of all individuals, but
from the analogy of the heart's rest we
reason that at least one-third of the time
should be spent in sleep.

WITH IN VIA IF VALLEY,
Yes, here we dwell in Indian town
Of monotonous age, and great renown;
Whose temples, if they were told,
The world itself would scarcely hold.
Our palace is; a quaint old place
A palace scarce in it you'd trace.
Its walls of brick, new blown and old
With lichen, mould, and monsoon mould,
Were once a garden hue,
Bedecked with lilies of brightest blue.
For such is an Indian feast you know,
And Indian fashion has it so.
A punctual hour is never here,
Through which God's sunlight may appear.
The meeting infant never can feel
A mellow radiance round it steal,
As, through the lattice work at night,
God bends his messenger of light,
A holy watch beside to keep
Over till the little closed sleep.
Nor can you trace upon the floor
The shadowed designs over and over,
As through your vine-clad window pane
The soft, pale light steals in again,
To captivate your sense, and win
The busy mind from thought of sin.
No vine is here, no oil nor pine,
Brook which God's moonlight soft may shine.
The dusty road before us lies
From which discordant sounds arise.
The angry, tortured, helpless throng
With step incessant march along
Jangling, wailing, fighting, screaming
Scarce a moment intervening;
Full of hatred, envy, malice;
Thus they loiter by our palace.
All day, all night, with hideous sound
This narrow, dusty street rebounds.
Enter with me our palace door.
You'll need to stoop the threshold o'er.
It more than five feet tall you be.
So low and small it is, you see.
Those holes, punched through, admit the light.
When noonday's sun is shining bright;
Else all within were dark and drear.
You scarce could follow your passage here.
Dare not miss our step, I pray.
It is a narrow, broken way.
Here, take my hand, I'll guide you right
Into "Our Palace" of delight.
We've scaled the stiles without a fall,
And here we're in our palace hall.
Just twelve by twelve it measures quite,
And seven feet space in loftiest height.
The ceiling low your hand could reach;
The floor is flagged, native speech.
Six other rooms of equal size,
Our strange old palace does comprise.
The walls a yellow tint appear,
With many a scratch, and many a smear;
And blackened places here and there,
Looking aniline rare,
When light from wick and grease was given,
To kill the trembling soul to heaven.
If ever such a place there be
In thought of Hindoo or Parsee.
Oh! wander the thoughts that must arise,
As these battered places meet the eyes
Of births, and deaths, and illness grave,
With none to succor, none to save.
No one to breathe a simple prayer,
Commending all to Jesus' care,
Pointing the weary soul above-
No tongue to tell of pardoning love.
A suffering creature on the ground,
While noisy people throng around,
With laugh and jeer and cry and fight.
Filling the hours of dreary night.
The sick one, now, in throes of pain,
Longs for the morning light again;
But when it comes she sighs the more,
To see the darkness gather o'er.
Oh! who can guess the suffering seen
These grave, old palace walls between?
If they could speak, methinks they'd tell
Of anguish equaled but in hell.
But I have told you all I know
The sad old history of woe,
Which must be found in purdah home,
If hovel, or if splendid dome.

The term "electricity" is derived from the Greek word meaning "amber," because, as the story goes, Thales, one of the seven sages of Greece, first discovered the manifestation of this force by rubbing a piece of amber with a dry cloth. As long ago as the days of Pliny, necklaces of amber were worn for their remedial power. The early history of electricity and medicine is shrouded in obscurity. It dates back to the mythical and legendary ages. It is said that ages ago the inhabitants of western Africa were accustomed to dip their sticks in the waters where lay the electric fish. The magnet and its mysterious power was known to the ancients, although we do not know that they used it extensively to cure diseases. The load stone in Europe during the middle ages aroused considerable attention in this line. The first electrical machine was made in 1672, it consisted of a globe of sulfur turned on its axis by one hand and pressed against the other. In the latter part of the eighteenth century, fractional machines and Leyden jars were used, the sparks and shocks therefrom wrought numerous cures. These appliances for generating electricity were bulky, and, being more or less dependent on atmospheric changes, were untrustworthy. The operators were battled in their earlier attempts at growth through lack of needful support from the allied and fundamental sciences. They had to wait for physics, physiology, and pathology to come to their rescue, which in due time they have done and are doing. In these early experiments, the results of disease were treated and not the cause itself; applications were made to the seat of symptoms, instead of the seat of the disease, hence numerous blunders and failures. Many of those early experimenters were of the laity, or these however eminent in other walks knew little or nothing of medicine. The unlearned are often willing to try where he who knows just enough to fear hesitates. It remained for the nineteenth century and the latter half of that to investigate and develop the uses of electricity as a remedial agent. We, in this age, only claim to be on the borderland. What power hidden away in this great field may yet be disclosed? Who can tell? Great improvements have been made and are being made in the apparatus of today. Appliances are to be had for all parts of the body, and by means of a milliamperometer, the amount of electricity in use can be measured, the operator not having to depend upon his own sense of touch. The rheotome interrupts the current so that shocks can be given when needed with perfect case.
Electricity is not a panacea for all ills to which flesh is heir, yet it is indicated in a wide range of disorders. I have found it particularly helpful in diseases of women and the nervous system in general, the indicated remedy can be given at the same time as other treatments are being taken and they will not conflict. Electricity aids nutrition. It economizes the forces in the system and allays irritation, thus relieving pain. A very marked and permanent effect is improvement in sleep, after general treatment. The immediate effects of general faradization are feelings of exhilaration, relief of pain, drowsiness, and increase in sleep. It is often the case that the tonic effects are felt more keenly after the treatments are abandoned, just as the tonic effects of a voyage or a trip are not always appreciated till the return home has been made and work again resumed. It is in the subacute or chronic diseases that electricity has its greatest field of action. Electrical treatments in my opinion should always be given by one who understands the effects and causes of disease as well as the effects of electricity. If given properly, it is a very complex study. How, therefore, can an amateur or a novice be expected to understand the time and method of application?

FOODS FOR ANEMIA IN CHILDREN.
This subject is of the greatest importance to mothers, or to anyone to whom the care of children is given. It must be carefully studied to obtain the proper knowledge of it. We desire the most perfect development of our children, physically, mentally, and morally, yet we should not expect this without effort upon our part. We do not, as a rule, find a strong, active mind in connection with a frail, suffering body.
Commencing with the teething period, we see the need of care and watchfulness on the part of the mother. During the formation of the teeth, the blood is robbed of much of its lime, phosphates, and silica, which go to form the teeth. Nature remonstrates against this loss in various ways, often by sores and eczema which will yield to no lotions, but disappear when the lacking properties of the blood are supplied.
As the child grows older, the food should be selected by the mother with her best intelligence and greater experience, rather than left to the taste and desires of the child, as is too often the case. It is not a proof of love to give a child that which will do it harm. The 3-year-old, in his high chair, issues his orders right regally, "Dive me cake, dive me pie," and too often these commands are obeyed. It is much better to keep him away from the family table, especially if he is not well. He is not tempted by the sight of forbidden dainties or unsuitable food. One of the greatest trials of the physician is the persistence in giving forbidden food because the child wants it. "A little fruit" or "a few strawberries" may mean a fatal inflammation in cases of dysentery and summer diseases, when the delicate mucous membrane of the digestive tract is so easily irritated.
A variety of food is essential to the perfect growth of the body. Nature has furnished this variety with a lavish hand. The whole animal and vegetable kingdom is before us for our intelligent selection. The nitrogenous foods contribute most to the growth of the body. Milk, eggs, rice, and other cereals are much superior to oatmeal, which too often forms the breakfast of our children. Oatmeal used continuously often causes eczema in children from the age of 3 years. If children from the age of 3 years would eat one graham cracker with each meal, they would have strong and beautiful teeth almost without exception.
A word of warning against the harmful practice of allowing children to take food between the regular meals. It will derange and weaken the most perfect digestion. In a family of six children, four of whom I have treated professionally, all are physical wrecks, nervous dyspeptics, to whom life is a burden. One of them told me that when a child, a whole meal would often be made of mincemeat pie. That was an example of the food they were all allowed to eat. I wish I could impress every mother with the importance of this subject. We hear much of dress reform, but little of food reform. Let us, as mothers, give this subject the study and attention which its importance demands, that as perfect as possible may be the setting of the priceless jewels of the souls entrusted to our care.
Dr. Laura A. Edwards, M.D.
THE NEW WOMAN.
"The new woman is distinctly a nineteenth-century product, a result of its necessities and civilization. She is not an example of atavistic regression, nor a sign of mental and moral decadence or retrogression as alarmists would have us believe. The right of an individual to do anything can be measured only by her or his ability to do that thing well. It a woman practices law or medicine or any other vocation successfully, her right to do so is no longer a matter of question."
It is claimed that the interest of other pursuits will lead the new woman to abandon her natural vocation - that of bearing and rearing children. Does anyone seriously believe that woman will ever forget the obligations of the heart? Is nature so easily thwarted? Because a woman's character has been ennobled and developed, her mind trained and her best powers called forth by incessant devotion to a noble calling, it does not follow that she will not love and marry, but she will raise the standard of marriage and there will be less prostitution, both in and out of the conjugal relation.
Physiologically, the new woman is a vast improvement over the other woman. She is not a delicate, pallid, emotional, unknown quantity. She is a creation full of energy and decision. She takes systematic stock of her vital capital and endeavors in every way to increase it. She lives in a hygienic, regular fashion, eats three meals a day, is fond of athletics, and keeps in touch with the world mentally and physically.
She is not quite perfect, this new woman, she is somewhat perturbed by the new stand she has taken; its duties and responsibilities frighten her a little and she is acutely conscious that the world is gazing at her with critical eye, but she is following out the natural law of individual differentiation, which will clearly outline her true status.
Narrow, prejudiced, illiberal people do not like the new woman, particularly if she is practicing medicine, and lose no opportunity to decry her virtues and belittle her efforts. Conscious of superior training and thorough for her work, this preparation up-to-date woman has come to stay, regardless of the opinion of those who believe that sex rather than ability should measure the rights of the individual. She discards all patriarchs, creeds, and questionable methods, thinking only of an honest and honorable career. She does not pose as a natural-born doctor, she does not nauseate you with stories of a precocious childhood wherein she demonstrated her dolls and evinced other phenomenal characteristics, she is too honest to work the church racket and too sincere to pray "to be seen of women." Quackery is of two kinds. There is the educated, pseudo-scientific sort and the blatant quackery practiced by the ignorant charlatans. The latter does little harm for the run may read, but the former is pernicious and far-reaching in its effects. It is the same old story of the comparative attractiveness of vice in high and low circles.
She is quite convinced that it is not the survival of the fittest yet, but of the unfittest who push and crowd aside the woman who does not work for revenue only. This question of getting on in the world has prostituted the noble profession of medicine until it has become a disgusting barter for business not unlike the competition of the business world. It is not always a question of how much can I benefit my patient, but how much can I realize financially?
And then there is her social status to be considered. Like the profession of teaching, it has been yet undefined. One would think that a woman of educated education and culture would be received with respect in good society, unquestioned. The gifted woman does not always find it so; she is looked upon with suspicion and if she ventures among the would-be exclusives she is approached frigidly or given the cut direct. New as she is, her experiences in a social way will make interesting reminiscences for her grandchildren.
But there areceptions even to the pioneer in medicine. There will always be "good, modest, thinking women who may not wear the latest genre, nor simple or social position, who will appreciate her services. To all such she will give her best and faithful attention. Jealous of her colleagues? Never, unless they fail to come up to her standard of mental, moral, and scientific fitness.

HYGIENE.
"Hygiene is that part of medicine whose object is the preservation of health. It embraces a knowledge of healthy man, as well as of the objects used by him, with their influence on his constitution and organs."
I believe that the clearer the knowledge is, and the closer we follow the rules of health, the surer the prevention of disease will be. It is certain beyond a doubt, that less misery, disease, and death would mar our happiness if we would all live up to our knowledge of the required laws of health, and not allow our mistaken notions, and often our passions, to rule us.
What are some of the hygienic measures to be considered! The rational and methodical use of food, clothing, and of all things essential to life, both in a state of health and disease. It is very often necessary to restrict the diet and through this measure to prevent the development of disease, especially some of the pestilential diseases. Two qualities must be considered in selecting food: It must be nutritious and digestible. The results of over-feeding infants form the leading factor in the great mortality of children during the hot term. Careful mothers and nurses, that the little ones have foods that are digestible. When diarrhea comes from foods not properly assimilated, the secreting glands are sluggish and do not respond to hygienic measures. Close attention should be paid to the clothing as well as the feeding of small children. The stomach and abdomen should be protected during the summer months the same as during other seasons of the year.
Science is advancing step by step in all departments and the safeguards thrown out by the boards of health in all the large cities and many of the small towns and villages, if rigidly enforced, would in time deprive disease of its great supremacy. Physicians, and the people as well, should see that the laws governing sanitation are enforced and insist upon the obedience of necessary requirements in this way only can infectious diseases be stamped out.
This great battle against disease consumes much of the thought and time of all conscientious physicians, and it is only by living strictly up to the light which we have on the subject of hygiene that we can look for good and lasting results. We need the united efforts of all to help us. I believe that the great care taken two years ago prevented this country from being invaded by cholera. We should continue our vigilance, the importance of which is better realized by physicians than by any other class of people because it is the business of their lives to observe the natural history and causes of disease and we are all practically agreed that health must come to the people who obey the laws of health.

HERMANN JAKOBSON.
Would you like to know something of the experiences of a lady physician in Nebraska nearly thirty years ago? Well, I can tell you of the times when in a city of seven or eight thousand people there was no such thing as a hack or a cab to be secured and no telephone to call one. No street cars, either propelled by mule power or electricity, had even been thought of. No gas lights, no electric lights, no paved streets but when called out at night, darkness and rough roads impressed upon me vividly the hardships of a physician's life on the frontier.
Her Manyuines has a farmer's wagon (and once a bay rack) driven to the door to take the doctor to see a patient all the way from ten to fifteen miles.
Would you like to go through an experience with her? It was on an evening in October the family were gathered in the cozy sitting room, a good knock came to the door. A man from the country ten or twelve miles wanted the doctor to go immediately with him. It is midnight when they reach their destination. The physician sleeps into the room where the sick lady was lying on the bed exhausted, more like a dead person than a live one. No experienced nurse is in attendance, in fact there is no nurse at all. Used to give medicine and leave directions with the family. The woman would be dead in a few hours unless she was properly attended to and cared for. There is nothing else for it, the doctor has to go to work to save her patient's life, and so worked till daylight gratified then that the sick one appears to be out of danger, she is taken back to town again in the same elegant conveyance which had taken her out the night before. There is a hope on reaching home there will be a chance for a little rest after the arduous night. But no, Mr. T has been waiting for some time to see the doctor. The baby has had a terrible fever, and Mrs. N's boy is very sick with laryngitis, and must be seen soon.
The poor doctor, all tired out, scarce knows which one she ought to go to first, Mrs. N's family are very reliable patients but the baby with the fever may die if not attended to, so she makes her way to the poor man's house and treats the baby, and gets away as soon as possible to see Mrs. N's sick boy, and he was sick indeed his condition very dangerous. The doctor prescribes but cannot leave, for the anxious worn out mother is the only nurse there. After a while leave of absence is obtained to go and visit other patients with a promise to return as soon as possible. An hour's sleep is all that can be snatched from the busy day and in the evening the doctor returns to Mrs. N's. The boy is still very sick, though there is some improvement. The family cannot think of letting the doctor go, but insist that she must stay with them through the night, for their child is very precious to them. She may be able to get some sleep but anyway they cannot let her go. They would rather pay any amount of money.
Sorry to say, when the bill was presented the money seemed so much harder to pay; than it did that night. During that day various patients had been visited and prescribed for, besides many prescriptions were made at the office. At 5 p.m. the physician was nodding in her easy chair, but was awakened by footsteps on the porch, and another country girl before her. Arriving at the house the floor was covered with onions and coffee, which had been used as a poultice and the latter as a disinfectant, or to hide the odor of the dreadful disease, diphtheria. These were soon forgotten, such a terrible scene presented itself a child of about 3 years was restlessly tossing over the bed with blood running from its nose and mouth. It was a most malignant case of diphtheria and the child died before the physician left the house. It was one of a large family and two or three of the other children were sick, medicine was left for them with directions at near midnight, the doctor promising to be there the next day. Inside of two days twelve cases of malignant diphtheria developed in the neighborhood.
Busy, well I should say, sleep was nearly out of the question, and rest impossible, a came through but one, a boy of 5 years of age belonging to the same family where the first case was, and the doctor was grieved to lose a patient.
I am afraid I will weary you with these commonplace difficulties of a physician's life, or I could tell so much more of cases of various diseases and many experiences, for the physician has to go day and night.
Dr. H.H. DAVIES, M.D.
Inherited and Preventable Influence.
Heredity is defined by one writer as "The law by which all beings endowed with life tend to repeat themselves in their descendants."
In the physical world every created being inherits the characteristics of its own species, its external and internal structure, its actions and its motions are all peculiar to its own species.
Even more, these inherited qualities, both mental and moral, which form the character we have noticed in families, if we study the history in different nations we cannot fail to notice the name. The characteristics of the French, Scotch, German and English are too well defined as to be patent to even a casual observer.
Cases of mental as well as physical heredity are too numerous to be the result of mere chance, as some have held. They lead to the practical question of heredity transmission. Even acquired habits may descend from one generation to another, for instance, drunkenness, theft, and the baser vices.
There is not a better example of cruelty in history than that of the Emperor Nero, his mother, Agrippina, was noted as a cruel, despotic woman, and his father, Domitius, could put his servants to death for the slightest offense. He was wont to say, "Of my mother and Agrippina nothing can be born that is not accursed."
He evidently had grasped the truth which many better and wiser than he, even in the light of the nineteenth century, seem to have overlooked. In but few countries does the law recognize the fact.
In China, however, according to the old code, when a man has committed a capital crime, even his parents are put to death.
Heredity has much more influence over the mental than over the physical, for instance, the mothers of Napoleon, Bonaparte, Washington, and Alexander the Great, were women of strong intelligence and indomitable will.
This subject is of vital importance to partisans. Upon the mothers of today depends largely what shall be the future of humanity.
The mother before the birth of her child has that power we call almost divine, of molding the character. She can hardly realize the noble work placed in her hands, creating natures strong, self-reliant, powerful for grand, noble action, whose influence shall go on forever. Could the mother see this in its true light she would be filled with awe at the extent of her power and responsibility.
We look almost with envy upon Rosa Bonheur, the skillful artist who can bring out upon the canvas the most beautiful designs, but does not the mother possess a greater power? Every thought, every impulse of hers is laying the foundation upon which in after years may be reared a superstructure of character which, for good or for evil, will exist forever.
AGNES V. SWINGLEY, M.D.
Surgery, Legislation,
The night and morning of it.
There is much being said upon this subject each year and like the "silver question" and "tariff" it seems difficult of solution.
Certainly no one doubts for a moment the necessity of a thorough medical education.
The time for charms, the talisman and ancestral traditions has passed. Make the standard as high as possible, but let the responsibility be, as far as it can be, placed upon any one except the individual, with the colleges.
The registered diploma from an accredited college should be all the requirement demanded by the state. The course of study should be, at least four years. This with the severe and exhaustive examinations and the final decision of those who have directed these similes, supplemented by the board of censors, and in state universities by the board of regents, all this should stand for something.
The spectacle of practitioners of years of valuable experience and demonstrated ability going before an "examining board" to be tested as to their fitness is one which no self-respecting physician will ever tolerate or personally submit to.
In an address to the class of '95 from the Omaha Medical college, we find this sentence: "Not twenty-five of the physicians in the city of Omaha could pass the examination required of those just graduating." That is undoubtedly true, nor will that class be able to pass that same examination five years from now without a great deal of study on technicalities to freshen the memory. This physician would not presume to say that the services of these graduates are as valuable to the community as that of the experienced physicians who have put these theories into practice until they know the value or otherwise (and there is a great deal of otherwise) of each. Some of the most brilliant students have failed utterly to apply that knowledge, practically, at the bedside. It requires a great deal of good judgment and common sense to decide, what to do or not to do in a given case. Often the latter is of the greatest importance. It is not a question of how much we know, but what we know. After years of successful practice, particularly in the case of a specialist whose service may be of inestimable value to the state and who, by virtue of that special work, may and does very largely, drop general lines of work. It would be almost impossible for him to go as a stranger before any board and pass an examination which would at all compare with the recent graduates. There have been cases of this kind which have opened the eyes of many, who are now talking earnestly of repealing such laws, based as they are upon the monopoly of the few rather than the good of the many.
The duty of state boards should be to examine diplomas presented, to know that they have been honorably procured, to know the standard and requirements of the colleges from which they have come and to see that only physicians so authorized are allowed to practice in the state.
It is hard to protect people against themselves. The greatest menace to life and health comes from self-prescribing and patent medicines. There is a greater crop of chronic diseases from poisons thus taken than from any other one cause. People cheerfully swallow anything from "Lydia Pinkham compound" to "Pink pills" or "Kickapoo Indian syrup," and only physical incapacity hinders them from taking bottles and labels as well. Prescriptions are given to be taken for a few days, but are refilled again and again and continued for weeks until the toxic effect is produced and the condition is worse than it was in the beginning. Then there are poor drugs on the market. It is difficult to know what we are using and indiscriminate counter prescribing is only second in danger to self-prescribing. People will buy medicines brought to their doors which are warranted to cure anything from cancers to corns, and ten chances to one that they have neither, they will take it and apply it until they do have something which has the painful features of both.
"The health of the people should be the first regard of every government." "There are laws to protect animals, but no laws to protect the people." Nothing more true. But people are not property and animals are, and it is a very superficial observer who does not know the relative value of life and property. Look at the sweat shops and child labor, the white slaves at Pullman and Homestead, the mine disasters from insufficient protection to workmen. Remember the 100,000 who yearly go down before the protected liquor traffic; the boys stunted and men enervated through the cigarette trade, the licensed brothels, the average life of whose victims is but seven years, not to mention the disease handed down to the generations unborn; notice the cheerfully paid thousands to the lawyer who has saved property to his client; but the physician who has spent sleepless nights and almost foodless days in the interest of his patient who thinks of compensation upon this basis?
Then when long years have been given to preparation and service, when such burdens have been carried as only these in the profession can understand, the awful responsibility of life which brings the early wrinkles and frosts the hair with silver; then when, perchance for health or other reasons a change of location becomes desirable he finds all this counts for nothing. He is confronted by the examining board, which is made up largely of political influence, personal friendship, self-interest and school prejudice. It is small wonder that the self-respecting physician, conscious of his ability, declines to enter states having such laws, and it will be found today that some of these states are already beginning to realize their mistake.
"Let the health of the people be the first regard of the government" by all means but let the government, whether municipal, state or national, begin those reforms where they are needed.
Our medical colleges with their rights of charter, their well-equipped service and honorable men and women as teachers may safely be trusted with the interests of the people. We wish they had, no greater dangers.

lion are In a measure responsible for tlio
elub movetnent of today , or perhaps wo
should say , It Is to men , largely , that we are
Indebted for the time which we have to de
vote to such work.
In the days of our great-grandmothers
woman's tlmo was too full of do-nestlc cares
for her even to think of such employment
of time ; but when ( ho Inventor and manu
* facturer relieved the succeeding generations
Dt the burden ot spinning , weaving , imp-mak
r
rV ing , liand-sewlog , and many other time and
V mind-absorbing1 occupations , then did she be
gin to gather herself together and flnd out
where she stood ; and , lo ! she made the hu
miliating discovery that while she had been
diligently cultivating the domestic side of
her nature the Intellectual sldo had llteully
grown up to weeds ; and when , later , the
colleges of the country werethroun open to
her daughters , she found If she Mould still
bs their companion she must keep pice with
thtm , and she found that with the help ot
the woman's clubs and the university ex
tension lectures she could "brush up" and
look forward to Intellectual companionship
With them as they grew to woman's estate.
There are * tiiany who question whether a
woman Is benefited In her home life by club
work. If acme woman who la undecided In
the matter wants to learn the sure way to
k-V her hueband's heart , let her join the Do-
inratlc Science department ot the Omaha
"Woman's club. If some mother wants tc
learn how best to supplement the- efforts 01
the teacher In training and educating her
children , let her join the Educational depart
ment , .whero mother anil teacher meet on
common ground. If she wishes to coach
her husband on the money question , the tariff
rent , taxes or governmental methods gener
ally , let her join the Political and Soda
Scleuc ? department The Art department
will teach her how to make her homo- beau
tiful and attractive , and see might go
on multiplying suggestions , and each one
would but prove- more conclusively that home
ind club Ufa run in parellel tines.
The mother of women's clubs Is Sorosls
the great club of New York City , orginUet
In 1SCS. It was the first club composed ex
eluslvely oC women and governed by than.
During the first year cf the club's exist
Mice It was made the object of much ridicule
on both sides ot the sea , but It continued to
nourish and at the end of the first year numbered
be-red nearly 100 members. Alice Gary wa
Its first president and Mr * . Croly ( Jennie
June ) gave It Us ti.une.
Although Sorosls has been styled the Mothe
of Women's Club and Is supposed to bo the
Brst club composed ot and governed b ;
women , yet the Midland Monthly for Aprl
Elves an account ot literary societies coin
posed of women , In Dubuque , la. , as early
is In the 'Go's. Many notable women o
Dubuque were members of these early socie
ties and are still prominent In literary circles
igaln proving the old saying that all good
things come out of the west.
Omaha Clnbi.
The Omaha Woman's club Is just closln
Iho second year of Its existence. Its mem
berahlp of 500 women Is divided Into depart
mtnts , each of which pursues Its course o
ttudy and manages Us business affairs uu.le
F Iho direction of a chairman and secretary
The. literary programs which occupy the b
Weekly meetings of the club are furnished
by those departments In turn , usually froi
Ihelr own resources. As these open meetings
pome to each department but once a yea
there la a good natured rivalry as to whlc
shall girt the Greatest pleasure and profit to
lie club , and It Is needless to say that such
ompetltlon Is the greatest possible advant-
ge to nil concerned.
As these departments ore the bone and
Inow of the club they must have first place
n any attempt to review club work. The
Art department , led by Mrs. W. W. Keysor.
ms given the greater part of Us two years'
vork to the older Italian masters. A ro-
lew with Btcrcoptlcon Illustrations has been
offered from tlmo to tlmo and has been open
o the public. The Current Topic depart-
nont la the largest division ot the club , num-
lorlng 1GO. Its work Is described by its
name , as Is that ot the Domestic Science de
partment , led by Mrs. P. II. Pugh. The
study of English literature , conducted by
Miss Knto A. McIIugh , has been confined
his year to Shakespeare and his work , while
ho German literature class , taught by Mrs.
\V. II. H. Tracy , hns followed Its work of
ast year on early German writers , by a
comprehensive study of Faust. The work of
ho History department under charge of Mrs.
. " . A. Lenvenworth , has given all Its Interest
.0 German also , following lines laid down
n previous years In the Cleofnn. Educa
tional matters are considered by a body of
mothers and teachers In an Important de
partment In charge of Mrs. Grace D. Sud-
jorough , and another group of women gives
attention to the details ot parliamentary law
under the direction of Mrs. A. B. Henderson.
Philosophy is taught by the Her. Mary G.
Andrews , who gathers round Dr. Hopkins
"Outline Study of Man" the thought of the
tlmo tram all sources as it relates to her
topic. Political Economy Is enthusiastically
itudled under the guidance of Miss Ida E.
Sdsan , whoso comprehensive plan for the
work has won much praise. Meeting linme
dlately after her class Is the department
known as "Mrs. Peattio's , " otherwise as that
of Applied economics. Hero the question
"What Can Wo Do About It ? " Is applied to
public , political and humanitarian affairs.
The musical department hns probably made
more of an Impression upon the public mind
than anv other In the club because ot the
fact that Its monthly muslciles have been
thrown open to all. As these are the only
exercises of the club where money will pro
cure admission , they have been largely at
tended by non-members. Mrs. J. It. Bu
chanan Is the popular leader of this de
partment and Eho has been assisted this
year by nearly every artist In the city.
It will bo seen from this presentation of
department work that the club exists primar
ily for culture and social Intercourse. This
purpose Is not. however , a selfish one. Re
sponsibility deepens with growth , and the
desire to be a power for good In the com
munity gathers strength as opportunities ap
pear and experience paints the way. The
club seeks to bo a medium through which
the public may have opportunities of culture
especially In art aud music , and It points
with pride to the fact that It made Univer
sity Extension , and other , lectures possible
last winter. Upon questions of public moral
ity and expediency the club shows Itself to
bo both conservative and courageous. It
shrinks from notoriety , but It will not shirk
a responsibility which belongs to Intelllgeni
women In association. It hopes to become
a moral power In the community as years
and wisdom are added to it. Meairvhlle
democratic In spirit , altruistic In motive
constructive In method. It unites and deep
ens social life ; It protects and Inspires the
unfortunate , and It builds Into the life of the
city sordid and materialistic as It Is wha
Emerson calls "The things of the mind. '
Its motto "Touching life" all llfo within
reach "with upward Impulse" It Its goal.
"THE TUESDAY MORNING CLUD. "
In speaking of the Tuesday Morning clul
Dr. Duryca said that a literary club which
had existed In Omaha since the year 18S !
showed good stuff In It. It had demonstrate !
the fact that a few women ot literary tastes
can spend two hours together each week In
a very profitable and enjoyable way While
nothing great has been attempted and no
papers written , much has been accomplished
In different lines of reading. Each member
clicoscs an author , selects one of his bes
works and gives a resume of It. Its forinatloi
was duo to a suggestion of Mrs , Frank Cross
who has been Its leading spirit. The con
tlnued pleasure of Its charmingly Informa
hetni' meetings Is assured under the presen
leadership of Mrs. A. L. Stlger.
CERAMIC CLUB.
Although the public does not hear much o
the Nebraska Ceramic club these days , It I
nevertheless In a flourishing condition. Th
regular meetings are held once a month , a
each ot which Is presented a program both
Interesting and Instructive. Already prepara
tions are being made for the annual fall
exhibition , which has become an event of
that season. Ceramics is a growing and

at the homes of Iho members , and this plan
will obtain until permanent club rooms , cen-
rally located , can be secured.
Just now the work Is confined to two de
partments , political economy and civil gov
ernment , and current topics , but as the mem
bership Increases , and as leaders present
.hemselves , departments ot music. English
Iterature , history and art will be formed.
The club Is strictly non-sectarian , and
offers Its advantages to any woman who Is
n sympathy with the work and may pre
sent herself for election.

studied Lowell for several months , and have
since given their time to studying the his
tory , customs and literature of Great
Britain with equal enjoyment and profit.
The course of study has been laid out in a
systematic and thorough way. The work
Is done largely In papers or discussions.
There are two or three clubs In the city
that have not been reported , for the reason
that no responses wure received to letters
of Inquiry.
Aside from the Woman's clubs In the city
there are , as far as we have been able to
ascertain , eighteen societies which are com
posed cxclusl\ely of womoii. The majority
ot them are organizations connected with the
different lodges la the city.
"
P. E. O.
This organization , the largest secret society
In Uie world for women , Is represented in
Omaha by a very strong chapter which owes
Its existence as do the chapters of Platts-
moutli. South Omaha and Wahoo to Miss
Clara B. Mason , ono of our brightest am
best teachers. Miss Mason organized the
chapter seven years ago with sevi n charter
members , and It has steadily grown until It
has become a power for good In our midst
numbering among Its members some of our
mot noted social , literary , musical and chari
table women , T.ie scc'ety emblem la a golden
star bearing the letters "P. B. 0 , " In black

The first object of the club was the promo-
Ion of literary and scientific pursuits , but wo

The secret of our existence nnd success lies

WOMEN'S CLUBS AND CIRCLES
Nebraska Women Who Believe in Organizations for the Promotion of Culture
THE STATE FEDERATION OF CLUBS
One of Omaha's Institutions and What It Is Doing to Aid Our City to Become the Pride of the West.
Edited by Mrs. Delia U. Preston.
Women are in a measure responsible for the club movement of today, or perhaps we should say, It Is to men, largely, that we are indebted for the time which we have to devote to such work.
In the days of our great-grandmothers, woman's time was too full of domestic cares for her even to think of such employment of time; but when the inventor and manufacturer relieved the succeeding generations of the burden of spinning, weaving, embroidery, hand-sewing, and many other time and mind-absorbing occupations, then did she begin to gather herself together and find out where she stood; and, lo! she made the humiliating discovery that while she had been diligently cultivating the domestic side of her nature the intellectual side had sadly grown up to weeds; and when, later, the colleges of the country were thrown open to her daughters, she found if she must still be their companion she must keep pace with them, and she found that with the help of the woman's clubs and the university extension lectures she could "brush up" and look forward to intellectual companionship with them as they grew to woman's estate.
There are many who question whether a woman is benefited in her home life by club work. If some woman who is undecided in the matter wants to learn the sure way to keep her husband's heart, let her join the Domestic Science department of the Omaha Woman's club. If some mother wants to learn how best to supplement the efforts of the teacher in training and educating her children, let her join the Educational department, where mother and teacher meet on common ground. If she wishes to coach her husband on the money question, the tariff, rent, taxes or governmental methods generally, let her join the Political and Social Science department. The Art department will teach her how to make her home beautiful and attractive, and she might go on multiplying suggestions, and each one would but prove more conclusively that home and club life run in parallel times.
The mother of women's clubs is Sorosis, the great club of New York City, organized in 1865. It was the first club composed exclusively of women and governed by them. During the first year of the club's existence it was made the object of much ridicule on both sides of the sea, but it continued to nourish and at the end of the first year numbered nearly 100 members. Alice Gibbs was its first president and Mr. C. Croly (Jennie June) gave it its tone.
Although Sorosis has been styled the Mother of Women's Clubs and is supposed to be the first club composed of and governed by women, yet the Midland Monthly for April claims an account of literary societies composed of women, in Dubuque, Iowa, as early as in the 1800s. Many notable women of Dubuque were members of these early societies and are still prominent in literary circles again proving the old saying that all good things come out of the west.
Omaha Clubs.
The Omaha Woman's club is just closing the second year of its existence. Its membership of 500 women is divided into departments, each of which pursues its course of study and manages its business affairs under the direction of a chairman and secretary. The literary programs which occupy the weekly meetings of the club are furnished by those departments in turn, usually from their own resources. As these open meetings come to each department but once a year, there is a good-natured rivalry as to which shall give the greatest pleasure and profit to the club, and it is needless to say that such competition is the greatest possible advantage to all concerned.
As these departments are the bone and sinew of the club, they must have first place in any attempt to review club work. The Art department, led by Mrs. W.W. Keysor, has given the greater part of its two years' work to the older Italian masters. A review with stereopticon illustrations has been offered from time to time and has been open to the public. The Current Topic department is the largest division of the club, numbering 1,600. Its work is described by its name, as is that of the Domestic Science department, led by Mrs. P.H. Pugh. The study of English literature, conducted by Miss Eto A. McHugh, has been confined this year to Shakespeare and his work, while the German literature class, taught by Mrs. W.H.H. Tracy, has followed its work of last year on early German writers, by a comprehensive study of Faust. The work of the History department, under the charge of Mrs. A. Lenoxworth, has given all its interest to German also, following lines laid down in previous years in the Cleofis. Educational matters are considered by a body of mothers and teachers in an important department in charge of Mrs. Grace D. Sudborough, and another group of women gives attention to the details of parliamentary law under the direction of Mrs. A.B. Henderson. Philosophy is taught by the Rev. Mary G. Andrews, who gathers around Dr. Hopkins "Outline Study of Man" the thought of the time from all sources as it relates to her topic. Political Economy is enthusiastically studied under the guidance of Miss Ida E. Sanford, whose comprehensive plan for the work has won much praise. Meeting immediately after her class is the department known as "Mrs. Peattie's," otherwise as that of Applied economics. Here the question "What Can We Do About It?" is applied to public, political, and humanitarian affairs. The musical department has probably made more of an impression upon the public mind than any other in the club because of the fact that its monthly musicales have been thrown open to all. As these are the only exercises of the club where money will procure admission, they have been largely attended by non-members. Mrs. J.R. Buchanan is the popular leader of this department and she has been assisted this year by nearly every artist in the city.
It will be seen from this presentation of department work that the club exists primarily for culture and social intercourse. This purpose is not, however, a selfish one. Responsibility deepens with growth, and the desire to be a power for good in the community gathers strength as opportunities appear and experience points the way. The club seeks to be a medium through which the public may have opportunities of culture, especially in art and music, and it points with pride to the fact that it made University Extension, and other, lectures possible last winter. Upon questions of public morality and expediency, the club shows itself to be both conservative and courageous. It shrinks from notoriety, but it will not shirk a responsibility which belongs to intelligent women in association. It hopes to become a moral power in the community as years and wisdom are added to it. Measurville democratic in spirit, altruistic in motive, constructive in method. It unites and deepens social life; it protects and inspires the unfortunate, and it builds into the life of the city sordid and materialistic as it is what Emerson calls "the things of the mind." Its motto "Touching life" all life within reach "with upward impulse" is its goal. "THE TUESDAY MORNING CLUB." In speaking of the Tuesday Morning club, Dr. Duryea said that a literary club which had existed in Omaha since the year 1885 showed good stuff in it. It had demonstrated the fact that a few women of literary tastes can spend two hours together each week in a very profitable and enjoyable way. While nothing great has been attempted and no papers written, much has been accomplished in different lines of reading. Each member cycles an author, selects one of his best works and gives a resume of it. Its formation was due to a suggestion of Mrs. Frank Cross who has been its leading spirit. The continued pleasure of its charmingly informal meetings is assured under the present leadership of Mrs. A. L. Stieger.
CERAMIC CLUB.
Although the public does not hear much of the Nebraska Ceramic club these days, it is nevertheless in a flourishing condition. The regular meetings are held once a month, at each of which is presented a program both interesting and instructive. Already preparations are being made for the annual fall exhibition, which has become an event of that season. Ceramics is a growing and beautiful art and now stands upon a footing where it can rightfully demand the recognition it deserves.
WOMAN'S CLUB.
On the 14th of February there was organized in this city a woman's club, composed of eighteen colored women. Since the organization, the membership has increased to thirty-four.
The object of the association is to stimulate intellectual development, promote unity of purpose amongst its members, and interest them in any individual, philanthropic and reformative effort which may affect women generally, and colored women particularly. The meetings of the club are held bi-weekly at the homes of the members, and this plan will obtain until permanent club rooms, centrally located, can be secured.
Just now the work is confined to two departments, political economy and civil government, and current topics, but as the membership increases, and as leaders present themselves, departments of music, English literature, history and art will be formed.
The club is strictly non-sectarian, and offers its advantages to any woman who is in sympathy with the work and may present herself for election.
The following officers have been elected for one year: Mrs. Ella L. Mahalmitt, president; Mrs. Nettle Johnson, vice president; Mrs. Laura M. Craig, recording secretary; Mrs. Clara Franklin, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Pauline Clelans, treasurer.
THE WOMAN'S EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY.
This society was organized by the women in the northwestern part of the city, and is full of life and prospering in its good work. The membership is increasing, and a great interest is shown in all branches of study. The members are all busy, home women, but are bright and intelligent, and find time for considerable study, and have a deep interest in woman's place and work in the world. They have lately started a Woman's Exchange, and hope to make a success of that also.
GIRLS' SOCIAL CLUB.
This club, composed of eight young girls, was organized last January by the department of applied economics of the Omaha Woman's club. It meets every week. Miss Helen Newarth is the president and Miss Schroeder the secretary.
MU SIGMA.
The Mu Sigma is a literary society, whose members, in the main, are ladies living in the vicinity of Walnut Hill. Its name is composed of the Initials of two Greek words, signifying "little learned." It was organized February 20, 1892. The members first studied Lowell for several months, and have since given their time to studying the history, customs and literature of Great Britain with equal enjoyment and profit. The course of study has been laid out in a systematic and thorough way. The work is done largely in papers or discussions. There are two or three clubs in the city that have not been reported, for the reason that no responses were received to letters of inquiry.
Aside from the Woman's clubs in the city, there are, as far as we have been able to ascertain, eighteen societies which are composed exclusively of women. The majority of them are organizations connected with the different lodges in the city.
P. E. O.
This organization, the largest secret society in the world for women, is represented in Omaha by a very strong chapter which owes its existence as do the chapters of Plattsburgh, South Omaha and Wahoo to Miss Clara B. Mason, one of our brightest and best teachers. Miss Mason organized the chapter seven years ago with seven charter members, and it has steadily grown until it has become a power for good in our midst numbering among its members some of our most notable social, literary, musical and charitable women. The society emblem is a golden star bearing the letters "P. E. O.," in black enamel. The ladies have secured the national convention for Omaha, and on the 12th of October our city will be thronged with bright intelligent women, representing nearly every state in the union.

We are twenty and two,
And as happy a crew
As was ever launched out on the sea,
And on with the tide,
By humanity's side,
We will sail light-hearted and free,
We treasure the lore
Gleaned from pages of yore,
And the history and art of a nation;
We place great reliance
Upon modern science,
And have joined the State Federation.
We have marked with delight
The progress and might
Which have shaken away ancient tradition;
And women can now
With wisdom endow
The columns of this 'great edition.' "
A MEMBER.
BEATRICE WOMAN'S CLUB.
Since the organization of the club, in the autumn of 1891, 115 members have been enrolled.
Departments of English literature, history, art, music, current events and current literature were formed for study by the members, who work under the motto, "Self Culture is the Bests of All Culture."
The club is a charter member of the state federation. Mrs. A. Alice is the presiding officer.
Beatrice, Neb.
PLATTSMOUTH WOMAN'S CLUB.
The club was organized on December 10, 1891, with twenty charter members. There are now over sixty. Mrs. B. M. Stoutenborough is the efficient president and leader. Meetings are held alternate Friday evenings at the homes of the members, and are literary and social in nature.
Plattsmouth, Neb.
THE COSY CLUB.
The Cosy club of Tecumseh was organized in September, 1893. The membership limit is seventeen.
The work of the club for the first year was the study of United States history. Papers upon biographical and historical subjects were read by the members. The first half of the present year was spent in the completion of the history and a brief study of American historians. The second half of the year is being devoted to a review of American literary women and their work.
Current Topics, presented by one of the members and discussed by the club, closes the literary program of the afternoon and introduces the social hour. Light refreshments are served. The New Year's reception and May day meeting are annual events of great interest locally.
There has been a growing interest in the work of the club among the members and a decided advance in the literary work.
FREMONT CLUB.
To Miss Marion Horsford of Vermont, but now engaged in educational work in the west and a member of the Woman's club of Grand Rapids, Mich., justly belongs the honor of founding the Fremont Woman's club. We thought it might be possible to attain a membership of fifty, but behold! our club, which a year ago began with seven earnest women, now shows an enrollment of 200 names.
The first object of the club was the promotion of literary and scientific pursuits, but we are broadening and entering on various departments. Our club motto is: "Striving toward all that will enrich and ennoble life." The secret of our existence and success lies in the fact that the time was ripe for the club, the germ was with us already. Miss Horsford came and we found others had been dreaming the same dream. It needed but her voice, and her presence among us to quicken the germ, and the conditions were fulfilled; the dream became a reality. The united efforts of our earnest members have done the rest.
FRANCES A. CROWELL.
NEBRASKA STATE FEDERATION OF WOMAN'S CLUBS.
The state federation was organized in Omaha on December 10, 1891. Mrs. Z. T. Lindsey was elected chairman of the convention and Mrs. A. B. Somers secretary. There were delegates from many clubs in the state and city, most of which became members of the federation. Mrs. Frances Ford, president of the Omaha Woman's club, delivered the address of welcome.
The following state officers were elected: Mrs. James H. Cahill, president, Lincoln; Mrs. Robert H. Seattle, vice president, Omaha; Mrs. S. C. Langworthy, secretary, Seward; Mrs. J. W.

by Mrs. Aiiciicti n. Itentle-fon ,
It has lately been ald that this Is tie !
children's age. Great attention Is paid to
their physical and mental development. So
cieties have been formed for a. critical analy-
ils of their periods of growth , and Its relation
to development of brain power. There are
at present 120 societies in the country de
voted to this study. The Kind of literature
which should bo slven to very young chil
dren Is nlso receiving attention. Wise mothers
realize that a child's taste cannot be formed
too soon. From the first they read to their
little ones Bclcttlons from the best poets ,
and It Is astonishing how soon the children
learn to appreciate them. A young mother ,
who lives near , reads tales of mythology to
her llttb ones. She Bays these stories must
one day be a part of their education , and
why not begin now ? While the trend of
public opinion Is for Improvement In these
directions , Is It not tlmo for a decided change
In the kind cf mimic taught to children ?
Why should they be obliged to sing the un
mitigated trash of which most of our Sunday
school music Is composed ? It should be
swept from the face of the earth. If , from
the first , children were taught good music
wo should not so often hear the remark : "I
did not go to hear the Thomas orchestra be
cause I am not educated up to that class
of music. German children are as familiar
with airs from the old masters as our chil
dren are with the unspeakable Jingle of the
music In carnnon use among uj.
A good story Is told of an old Scotch lady ,
who did not llko modern church music.
She was expressing her dislike to an an
them sung In her own church one day , when
a neighbor snld : "Why. that Is a very old
nnthcm. David sang It bsfore Saul. " "Weel ,
weel , " answered the old lady , "I nee for
the first tlmo understand why Saul threw his
Javelin at David when the lad sang for him. "
Javelins would fly In every direction If Saul
had to listen to some of the music of today.
Why should the Catholic and Episcopal
churches enjoy almost a monopoly of line
music ? Hxccpt the "Credo" and "Gloria In
Excelsls , " the- words of the mass In the
Catholic church nro taken from the Holy
Scriptures. In the 'Episcopal church the
music is largely chanting , and the words
arc taken from the Scriptures.
Why should not the children of other de
nominations bo taught to chant the Psalms ?
They would remember and love the-ni all
their lives , when "Yield Not to Temptation"
and "Have Courage , My Hey , to Say No"
have been Joyfully forgotten.
Praise is ns much a part of worship as
Is prayer , nnd children should be so taught.
Would It not be more reverent and In ac
cord with the spirit cf praise to sing the
words , "Heaven nnd Earth Are Full of the
Majesty of Thy Glory" than the lines quoted
above ? Words which are addressed to people
ple are notsultable for the worship of the
Most High. Hymns should be metrical
prayers , or ascriptions ) of praise. The Cath
olic and Episcopal churches hold their young
people largely on account of their superior
music , and the exalted character of theli
hymnology. Is It not time to inaugurate" a
change In our church music , and forever
banish the Insufferable trash which some
persons thrust upon us , because , they say ,
the people can appreciate no other ?
THR GAIN OP ADVERSITY :
lAillly said to a threatening cloud.
That In sternest garb nrrnyed him ,
.You have tnken my lord , the nun. away.
And I know not where you have laiO

It folded Its leaves , nnd trembled sore
As the hours of darkness press'd It ,
But nt morn , like a bride. In beauty shone
For with pearls the dews had dress'U It.
Then it felt ashamed of Its fretful though
And fain In the dust would hide It ,
For the night of weeping had Jewell
brought ,
Which the pride of dnv denied It.

far nicer to be tall than so low as those llttli

( A True Story. )
There was once a kitty that lived In
bouse where there were four little glrlo. SI
was very fond of them all , but the tw
youngest , were her especial favorites. Dy
sad misfortune the little cat had lost hewn <
own family , and she seemed to think the :
two children were her property. She fo
lowed them everywhere. If a hapless dc
strayed too near she rushed at It In a we
that struck terror to his heart. She trie
to soothe the children when they were !
trouble. Oracle waa 2 years old. She wi
usually a very well behaved little girl , In
one day she was naughty and her mainn
told her to go In the next room and stay I
herself until she could bo good. Very mu <
against her will she was left to herself , ai
the air resounded with her cries. Sodden
the noise ceased. The mother softly openi
the door to see what was. the matter. Tl
kitty was standing on her hind feet , wll
liw front pawn on Oracle's shoulders. 81
van licking her face and telling her , as well
s she could , how sorry she was for her.
Grade and the kitty were received ut once
nto favor.
One day the other little girl wanted some-
hlng to eat. He rmamina was very busy at
ho moment and could not attend to her.
teatrlco thought she could not wait , nnd
irescntly loud cries for bread and butter
Isturbed the cat , who was sleeping by her
Ide. Kitty rose , went . to the door and
mewed to bo let out. In a few minutes she
ppeared , bringing a very large nnd very
Irty crust of bread In her mouth. She had
vldcntly found It In the alley. With a very
elf-satlsflcd air she laid It down by
leatrlce , as much ns to say she had done her
uty. Ueatrlco's bread and butter were
orthcomlng at once , aml kitty was regarded
s the brightest cat In Colorado ,
fioino Good Advice for a bnmll Ilojr.
My Dear George McNelll : I am askeJ
y some ladles to wrtlo an article for chll-
ron , telling them how best to take care of
heir health , nnd it has seemed to me that
ho best plan will bo to make this article
n the form of a letter to you , because you
ro Just nt an ago when a boy grows very
estlcss under the care of older persons ,
nd then for another reason that boys ,
ooner than girls , get out of their mother's
r grandmother's care. The first point
hat I shall make Is In regard to the care
f the skin.
You will be surprised when I tell you
hat the whole surface of your body Is
iado up of myriads of tiny pores , which
pen out Into this world and are used for a
pcclcs of ventilation , some of them for
crsplratlon , and I think that perspiration
nd ventilation sometimes mean almost the
amo thing. Now It stands to reason if
heso pores nro shut up with dust or any
thcr kind of matter that a boy's skin can-
lot bo healthy , and consequently the skin
esplratlon and the skin perspiration will
all to bo absolutely perfect , and the boy ,
y Just so much , fall of having a healthy
kin. I have known so many boys with
oughness on their arms and pimples on
heir legs , and spots on their faces , and , do
ou know , my dear George , this Is solely
iccauso they hnvo not washed themselves
ften enough nnd thoroughly enough ?
Now , I do not believe Hint a human being
s llko a fish. If the Lord had meant use
o bo half the tlmo in a bath tub ho would
ave fitted us with scales so that there
vould bo a certain amount of enjoyment
iiit of the scrubbing , but I am perfectly
ertatn tha { every human being is meant
o bo absolutely clean , and' ' so I would nd-
Ise each boy of your age , 7 , to put him-
elt Into the bath tub nt least twice a week
.nd take a comfortable scrubbing with good
oap from head to heels. It it Is sum
mer time , in addition to this very com-
ortable scrubbing by all means take a swim
n the nearest water "that "you have , for
hen you will get the best possible exercise
of the muscles- the same tlmo that you
are washing the dust out of the pores of the
kin.
Second. Doys have to bo taught a llttlo
ibout breathing. They are so apt to keep
heir mouths open nnd breathe the cold or
ho hot nlr straight Into the lungs. You
nust remember that perfect health Is in
consistent with the lung condition due to
"mpurltles such as would easily reach It
: hrough the mouth. So , whenever you are
awake remember to throw your shoulders
wcl back , your lips well together and take
n deep breaths through the nose. Dy so
Jolng you will expand your chest and be
much stronger and much healthier than n
follow who would take all the air ho can
get and all that dirt that is with it right
nto the mouth and Into the lungs.
Then , third : I have gone from the skin
to the lungs , nnd the next point , which I
am quite sure will interest you very much ,
s In regard to your diet. If you want to
bo a strong man , If you want to be a well
nnn and no man is strong who Is not well
then you must bo careful to regulate your
Hot so that with the least possible amount
of food you get the greatest amount of nour-
shmcnt. A great many boys whom I have
; nown have thought that If they
; row fat they grow strong. - This
s absolutely untrue. All athletes ,
vho have not on unnecessary ounce
of flesh , are the people who make success in
tennis. In base ball and In rowing matches.
Therefore I would advise all boys who want
to bo really strong men to ovoid candles ,
sugar , syrup , batter cakes and llvo on good ,
wholesome brown bread and butter , cracked
wheat and oatmeal , plenty of vegetables
and good , wholesome meat ; and concerning
this meat business , In my opinion no boy
should cat meat more than once a day.
Take at one meal all you want with the
usual vegetables and then for the morning
meal and the evening meal try to have a
very light diet. The best workers are not
always the heaviest eaters , nnd many a
tlmo when I go to see children and am
told that they have an Immense appetite
and yet are not strong and require a dose
of medicine , I realize that the trouble has
been lliat the appetite Is an unnatural affair
and is due to nervousness or to that which
children most despise to talk about ,
"worms. "
Fourth , and last : I wish to urge upon
every boy greatest attention to the devel
opment of the muscles of the thorax , or to
put It in plain English , the chest. Five
minutes exerclso with a "Whltely" mornIng -
Ing and night will do more to develop the
chest power and the arm power of a boy
than all the gymnastics that are practice !
In a public school , and then the rowing
movement will develop the hips and abdo
men and with the feet against the rest the
muscles of the calf and leg will be
Htreugthcnd.
All this is suggested to a boy who has no
the usual opportunities of out of door life
but if certain circumstances favor , by al
means Invest In a bicycle and ride will :
reason morning and afternoon , but do no
bend yourself so that you look llko an anl
mal going on four legs and do not ride EC
long that you will be utterly exhausted a
the close of the hour devoted to your out
Ing. If you are where there Is any water
have a boat ; If you can afford a horse , g (
hunting ; If you have a garden , dig am
plant vegetables and flowers and care fo
them , and so far as in you lies make fo
yourself a strong , healthy , vigorous body t (
sustain the strong , healthy , vigorous sou
which I sincerely hope will bo yours fo
always.

My first recollection of this world was o
being wrapped In a. soft , green blanket , am
rocked gently by the wind. As I grew olde
I became curious to see what the world wa
like , and peeped through the folds of m :
blanket , l&iere were queer little noises whlc
came from a lot of people Just like myseli
only older.
They were swinging In the wind and nod
ding their heads and whispering softly.
Soon I found I was swinging back am
forth too. As I grew older I grew bolde
and came further out of my blanket , whlc
wai turning yellow. I soon became ac
qualnted with my neighbors and began t
awing and neil as they did.
Wo had many pleasant days together , some
times seeing It we could bend and touch eac
other , and after each trial rebound with
little whistle , which is the way we expres
our delight ,
But some days the sun seemd to object t
our play , and would make us droop an
wither , till a. centle shower would cwno an
Ity u , and soon we would be more full of
fo and hope than ever.
So the happy weeks passed , till ono day
vo heard n sound which our older sisters
old us was a reaper. We were full of curl-
slty and twisted and tossed our heads to
et a glimpse of htm. Hut as the sound
eemcd to come nearer nnd nearer , and we
ixpcctcd the next moment to see him , a big

Diddle Come Dee was n short , fat man
\Vlth little , round , Hparkllng eyes ,
And n short chubby nose with an upwnri
curl ,
And the rorncrs of his mouth had a merrj
twirl ,
And a look of mock surprise.
le had short , fat legs , that bent nt tin
knees ,
Ami his little toes turned In ,
lut his elbows always turned right out ,
\ml so very short was his little coat
It would surely make you grin.
le lived In the land of Hnppy-go-Lucky ,
In a town called Come-by-Chiince ,
\ \ here to work was thought a mighty sin
Vml the slowest one was sure to win
The biggest prize nt the dance. .
They paid , "When summer comes , It I ;
warm ,
But we'll flnd a coollnp breeze ,
\nd when winter comes , with Its frost nm
cold ,
Our hnmls In our pockets deep , we wll
hold ,
And wiggle our toes , so they'll no
freeze. "
But Diddle Come Dee wished the world ti
see ,
And so went to the City of Research ,
A here each one breathes nnd eats by rule
And every third house Is a great big school
And every second one , a church.
\nt\ \ all of the people there , that he met ,
To him , looked mlRhty funny ,
For when they walked , they always ran ;
Vnd all they talked about , to a man ,
Was of something they culled money.
Vnd when they planned to have some fun
They called the thlnjr n rout ;
rhey always turned their elbows In ,
And seemed to think It was a. sin
If their toes did not turn out.
'They are Just ns bad , " said Diddle Comi
Dee ,
"As they ore In Come-by Chance ,
[ "here must be a land half way between ,
Where all things strike a happy mean ,
I can see that at a glance. "
So he turned nbout his toes to retrace ,
Ana early , one bright , fine day.
le came to the city of Never-Shlrk
Where all could play and all would work ,
And he said , 'Mlfght here I'll stay.
There Is time enough each day within , "
He Bald , "for praise or song ,
fo ent , nnd sleep , and work , and play ,
And If we walk In wisdom's way ,
Our toes will not turn wrong. "

'rice Illver canon , and the huge pillars ,
'ormlng ' the "Castle Gate , " that guards the
entrance to that canon. The writer of the
'ollowlng poem , having heard that once upon
a time these mountains lay submerged under
: he great ocean , conceived the fancy that the
'Castle ' Gate" at that tlmo guarded the sea
king's palace.
Can It then he , once under the sea , It
guarded the Sea king's palace ?
\Knlnst whom did It guard , with watch
and ward ? Who was it bore him malice ?
Strongs stories are told of the Sea king bold ,
and of his beautiful dnughter.z
The charms that she knew , Uie sorceries
too , that the old Sea king had taught her.
Lorlel was her name , and great was her
fame , for she sang as she combed her
locks ;
Every ship that did hear , was forced to
draw near , but only to dash on the rocks.
rent then was her glee , as back to the sea ,
to her "Castle Gate" returning ,
\waltlng her there , sees a lover so fair , for
whom her heart Is yearning.
That "Castle Gate" could strange tales re.
late , If speech to Its stones were granted ;
Sven yet It seems as though It dreams , as
If still by those scenes 'twere haunted.

Once upon a time a city In Nebraska went
.0 vlBlt her cousin , a city In Maine. The
weather was beautiful , and otter some plan
ning , they determined to take a trip through
the country with a party of friends. The
company consisted of two lakes In eastern
Africa , two capes on tho'coast of Virginia , a
city In Ohio , a county In Oregon , n town In
Morth Dakota nnd a town In Nebraska. They
wcra chaperoned by "a long river In North
America , who wore In the cool evening a
mountain In Oregon , made of ji city In India ,
the color of mountains in Virginia. Her
Iress was a sea in Eurjipe serge. The young
adles wore the cpnvt-iitlonal mountains In
Virginia , trimmed within sea in Europe. They
took a sufficient lunch for the first day. H
consisted of some' Islands In the Pacific
ocean , a country , in Kuropo , some river In
Oregon , some Islohfl In Jho Indian ocean , with
a little mountain 4n western Massachusetts.
They took for a relish , a country In South
American sauce , and n little Island In the
Atlantic In case 6f > 'llM\ess. \ They also took
a plentiful supply of a-divislon of Spain soap
and a city In Otrmany. They had but
ono city In New JJers'ty among them ; the
river In Germany thqy nlso threw away.
An Island In the Irish sea gave them val

Whllo they were crossing a deep fqrest their
mountains In Germany wcrq filled with a

distance a lake In Maine. By using caution
tlioy had a capo In .Africa . that they would
escape a cape in Australia. Out they began
to feel a swamp In the United States , for
they only had a llttlo hard tack and n cape
n Massachusetts , which was very a lake In
Utah , to eat.
Ono day the news that a dear friend was
a sea in Palestine made them bring their
trip to an abrupt close.

By Mrs. Alberti n. Gentleman,
It has lately been said that this is the children's age. Great attention is paid to their physical and mental development. Societies have been formed for a critical analysis of their periods of growth, and its relation to development of brain power. There are at present 120 societies in the country devoted to this study. The kind of literature which should be given to very young children is also receiving attention. Wise mothers realize that a child's taste cannot be formed too soon. From the first they read to their little ones selections from the best poets, and it is astonishing how soon the children learn to appreciate them. A young mother, who lives near, reads tales of mythology to her little ones. She says these stories must one day be a part of their education, and why not begin now? While the trend of public opinion is for improvement in these directions, is it not time for a decided change in the kind of music taught to children? Why should they be obliged to sing the unmitigated trash of which most of our Sunday school music is composed? It should be swept from the face of the earth. If, from the first, children were taught good music, we should not so often hear the remark: "I did not go to hear the Thomas orchestra because I am not educated up to that class of music." German children are as familiar with airs from the old masters as our children are with the unspeakable jingle of the music in common use among us.
A good story is told of an old Scottish lady, who did not like modern church music. She was expressing her dislike to an anthem sung in her own church one day, when a neighbor said: "Why, that is a very old anthem. David sang it before Saul." "Well, well," answered the old lady, "I see for the first time understand why Saul threw his javelin at David when the lad sang for him."
Javelins would fly in every direction if Saul had to listen to some of the music of today. Why should the Catholic and Episcopal churches enjoy almost a monopoly of fine music? Except the "Credo" and "Gloria in Excelsis," the words of the mass in the Catholic church are taken from the Holy Scriptures. In the Episcopal church, the music is largely chanting, and the words are taken from the Scriptures.
Why should not the children of other denominations be taught to chant the Psalms? They would remember and love them all their lives, when "Yield Not to Temptation" and "Have Courage, My Friends, to Say No" have been joyfully forgotten. Praise is as much a part of worship as is prayer, and children should be taught so. Would it not be more reverent and in accord with the spirit of praise to sing the words, "Heaven and Earth Are Full of the Majesty of Thy Glory" than the lines quoted above? Words which are addressed to people are not suitable for the worship of the Most High. Hymns should be metrical prayers, or ascriptions of praise. The Catholic and Episcopal churches hold their young people largely on account of their superior music, and the exalted character of their hymnology. Is it not time to inaugurate a change in our church music, and forever banish the insufferable trash which some persons thrust upon us, because, they say, the people can appreciate no other?
THE GAIN OF ADVERSITY:
A lily said to a threatening cloud,
"That in sternest garb arrayed him,
"You have taken my lord, the sun, away,
And I know not where you have laid him."
It folded its leaves, and trembled sore
As the hours of darkness pressed it,
But at morn, like a bride, in beauty shone,
For with pearls the dews had dressed it.
Then it felt ashamed of its fretful thought,
And fain in the dust would hide it,
For the night of weeping had jeweled
brought,
Which the pride of day denied it.
A. L. SIGOURNEY.
A Legend of the Lily.
The lily yawned and stretched herself, took her two white hands from her eyes, shook out her skirts, and, yes, really was awake at last, and could see the great earth and the blue sky and the warm sun shine that she had dreamed about. "How beautiful it is," she said. "How beautiful you are," murmured a butterfly, standing on a rosebush near by, "so white and so tall and slender." The lily had not thought about herself before. "I am very white," she thought, "I am glad I am white, and not red, like the rose, and it is certainly far nicer to be tall than so low as those little pansies. One can see so much better, and one can be seen, too, and that is worth while when one is as white as I am." And so, at the long, sunny day, she stood there and admired her fairness and her height. The sun set, and it grew dark.
"Dear me, what is going to happen now," said the lily. Something very beautiful happened, for the stars began to shine one by one till the sky was thick with them. "Oh, I wish I could be a star," said the lily, and she stood on tiptoe, but she could not reach them, try as she might. While she was gazing up and stretching her hands toward them, a star fell down, down, trailing a fading glory behind him, until at last it sank with a long shiver right among the leaves of the lily, a heavy, dark stone. The lily's face shone white in the starlight, and the fallen star said to her: "Earth star, may I light my lamp from you? It has gone quite out."
"Oh, I am not a star; I am only a lily," she said. "Tell me, star, how you came to fall, haven't you any roots?" "I was this way," said the star sadly. "I was eternally on my throne, and my lamp was burning so brightly that I got to thinking how glad I was that I was a mighty star of heaven, and not a poor, fading earth flower, and I forgot God. Then the angel came, strong and terrible, and said: 'Because you have forgotten God, you must become one of the poorest and humblest things of earth,' and he shook me from my seat in heaven, for my pride in thinking myself above my sisters, the flowers, who are also the children of God." And the stone sighed very deeply. Then the lily began to think: Had not she, too, been proud? Had she not been proud of her whiteness and purity, as the star had been of his strength? What if the angel should come and uproot her and cast her out to die? And in her sorrow and fear she bent her beautiful head, and two tears rolled slowly down upon the fallen star. They sank into him, softened the harsh stone into a deep, rich earth, and when morning dawned a flower sprang out of the earth, a lily, that hid its whiteness beneath brown leaves, and, like humility, the sweetest of graces, could only be found by its fragrance. It was the lily of the valley.
EVALENTINE MATTHEWS.
A Bright Cut.
A True Story.
There was once a kitty that lived in a house where there were four little girls. She was very fond of them all, but the two youngest, were her favorites. By sad misfortune, the little cat had lost her own family, and she seemed to think the two children were her property. She followed them everywhere. If a hapless child strayed too near, she rushed at them in a way that struck terror to their hearts. She tried to soothe the children when they were in trouble. Oracle was 2 years old. She was usually a very well-behaved little girl, but one day she was naughty and her mother told her to go in the next room and stay there until she could be good. Very much against her will, she was left to herself, and the air resounded with her cries. Suddenly, the noise ceased. The mother softly opened the door to see what was the matter. The kitty was standing on her hind feet, with her front paw on Oracle's shoulders. She was licking her face and telling her, as well as she could, how sorry she was for her. Grade and the kitty were received at once into favor.
One day the other little girl wanted something to eat. Her mother was very busy at the moment and could not attend to her. The telescope thought she could not wait, and recently loud cries for bread and butter disturbed the cat, who was sleeping by her side. Kitty rose, went to the door and mewed to be let out. In a few minutes she appeared, bringing a very large and very pretty crust of bread in her mouth. She had undoubtedly found it in the alley. With a very self-satisfied air, she laid it down by the telescope, as much as to say she had done her duty. The telescope's bread and butter were brought immediately, and the kitty was regarded as the brightest cat in Colorado.
Some Good Advice for a boy.
My Dear George McNell: I am asked by some ladies to write an article for children, telling them how best to take care of their health, and it has seemed to me that the best plan will be to make this article in the form of a letter to you, because you are just at an age when a boy grows very restless under the care of older persons, and then for another reason that boys, sooner than girls, get out of their mother's or grandmother's care. The first point that I shall make is in regard to the care of the skin.
You will be surprised when I tell you that the whole surface of your body is made up of myriads of tiny pores, which open out into this world and are used for a species of ventilation, some of them for perspiration, and I think that perspiration and ventilation sometimes mean almost the same thing. Now it stands to reason if these pores are shut up with dust or any other kind of matter that a boy's skin cannot be healthy, and consequently the skin perspiration and the skin perspiration will all be absolutely perfect, and the boy, by just so much, falls of having a healthy skin. I have known so many boys with roughness on their arms and pimples on their legs, and spots on their faces, and, do you know, my dear George, this is solely because they have not washed themselves often enough and thoroughly enough?
Now, I do not believe that a human being is like a fish. If the Lord had meant us to be half the time in a bath tub, he would have fitted us with scales so that there would be a certain amount of enjoyment in the scrubbing, but I am perfectly certain that every human being is meant to be absolutely clean, and so I would advise each boy of your age, 7, to put himself into the bath tub at least twice a week and take a comfortable scrubbing with good soap from head to heels. It is summer time, in addition to this very comfortable scrubbing by all means take a swim in the nearest water that you have, for then you will get the best possible exercise of the muscles - the same time that you are washing the dust out of the pores of the skin.
Second, boys have to be taught a little about breathing. They are so apt to keep their mouths open and breathe the cold or hot air straight into the lungs. You must remember that perfect health is inconsistent with the lung condition due to impurities such as would easily reach it through the mouth. So, whenever you are awake, remember to throw your shoulders well back, your lips well together and take deep breaths through the nose. By so doing, you will expand your chest and be much stronger and much healthier than a boy who would take all the air he can get and all that dirt that is with it right into the mouth and into the lungs.
Then, third: I have gone from the skin to the lungs, and the next point, which I am quite sure will interest you very much, is in regard to your diet. If you want to be a strong man, if you want to be a well man and no man is strong who is not well, then you must be careful to regulate your diet so that with the least possible amount of food you get the greatest amount of nourishment. A great many boys whom I have known have thought that if they grow fat they grow strong. This is absolutely untrue. All athletes, who have not an unnecessary ounce of flesh, are the people who make success in tennis. In baseball and in rowing matches. Therefore, I would advise all boys who want to be really strong men to avoid candies, sugar, syrup, batter cakes and live on good, wholesome brown bread and butter, cracked wheat and oatmeal, plenty of vegetables and good, wholesome meat; and concerning this meat business, in my opinion, no boy should cat meat more than once a day. Take at one meal all you want with the usual vegetables and then for the morning meal and the evening meal try to have a very light diet. The best workers are not always the heaviest eaters, and many a time when I go to see children and am told that they have an immense appetite and yet are not strong and require a dose of medicine, I realize that the trouble has been that the appetite is an unnatural affair and is due to nervousness or to that which children most despise to talk about, "worms".
Fourth, and last: I wish to urge upon every boy the greatest attention to the development of the muscles of the thorax, or to put it in plain English, the chest. Five minutes exercise with a "Whitely" morning and night will do more to develop the chest power and the arm power of a boy than all the gymnastics that are practiced in a public school, and then the rowing movement will develop the hips and abdomen and with the feet against the rest the muscles of the calf and leg will be strengthened.
All this is suggested to a boy who has no the usual opportunities of out of doors life but if certain circumstances favor, by all means invest in a bicycle and ride will reason morning and afternoon, but do not bend yourself so that you look like an animal going on four legs and do not ride so long that you will be utterly exhausted at the close of the hour devoted to your outing. If you are where there is any water, have a boat; if you can afford a horse, go hunting; if you have a garden, dig and plant vegetables and flowers and care for them, and so far as in you lies, make for yourself a strong, healthy, vigorous body to sustain the strong, healthy, vigorous soul which I sincerely hope will be yours for always.
JULIA HOLMES SMITH, M.D.
A Grain of Wheat.
My first recollection of this world was of being wrapped in a soft, green blanket, and rocked gently by the wind. As I grew older, I became curious to see what the world was like, and peeped through the folds of my blanket, here were queer little noises which came from a lot of people just like myself only older. They were swinging in the wind and nodding their heads and whispering softly. Soon I found I was swinging back and forth too. As I grew older I grew bolder and came further out of my blanket, which was turning yellow. I soon became acquainted with my neighbors and began to sing and play as they did. We had many pleasant days together, sometimes seeing if we could bend and touch each other, and after each trial rebound with a little whistle, which is the way we express our delight.
But some days the sun seemed to object to our play, and would make us droop and wither, till a gentle shower would come along and soon we would be more full of life and hope than ever.
So the happy weeks passed, till one day we heard a sound which our older sisters told us was a reaper. We were full of curiosity and twisted and tossed our heads to get a glimpse of him. But as the sound seemed to come nearer and nearer, and we expected the next moment to see him, a big bird came and perched in it. It was a little bird, coming from Dec. Diddle Come Dec. was a short, fat man with little, round, sparkling eyes, and a short chubby nose with an upward curl, and the corners of his mouth had a merry twirl, and a look of mock surprise.
He had short, fat legs, that bent at the knees, and his little toes turned in, but his elbows always turned right out, and so very short was his little coat it would surely make you grin.
He lived in the land of Happy-go-Lucky, in a town called Come-by-Chance, where to work was thought a mighty sin and the slowest one was sure to win the biggest prize at the dance. They said, "When summer comes, it is warm, but we'll find a cool breeze, and when winter comes, with its frost and cold, our hands in our pockets deep, we will hold them, and wiggle our toes, so they will not freeze." But Diddle Come Dee wished the world to see, and so went to the City of Research, where each one breathes and eats by rule and every third house is a great big school and every second one, a church.
At all of the people there, that he met, to him, looked mighty funny, for when they walked, they always ran; and all they talked about, to a man, was of something they called money. And when they planned to have some fun, they called the thing a rout; they always turned their elbows in, and seemed to think it was a sin if their toes did not turn out.
"They are just as bad," said Diddle Come Dee, "as they are in Come-by-Chance." "There must be a land half way between, where all things strike a happy mean, I can see that at a glance." So he turned about his toes to retrace his steps, and early, one bright, fine day, he came to the city of Never-Shirk, where all could play and all would work, and he said, "Might here I'll stay. There is time enough each day within," he said, "for praise or song, for eat, and sleep, and work, and play, and if we walk in wisdom's way, our toes will not turn wrong."

Once Upon a Time of Fairies.
One day as Sam entered the room, Mary announced, "Sammy, Jack is sick," (Jack is Sam's doll.) "Then, Mary, I'll be the doctor and give him some medicine." "Sam, Jack won't take medicine; Jack will die. Now, Sammy, Jack won't take medicine; Jack dead and Jack goes up to heaven and won't come back any more." Sam looked troubled and then said: "Mary, let's play over in the come-back-to-heaven and I'll be the Lord and when you bring Jack up to heaven I'll touch him so and make him all well; then he'll go back to being bad again."
Harry always prayed for each member of his family separately before going to bed one night when he was very tired he began, "God bless papa and perhaps mama, and God bless the whole shooting match."
A little Philadelphia boy, while walking down Hancock Street lately with his mother, suddenly cried out, "Oh, mamma, didn't the trees used to grow thick out here?" "Oh, no," said his mother. "Yes, indeed, they did, mamma," he insisted, "Just see how they sawed them all off close to the ground!" pointing, as he spoke, to the cedar block pavement.
The same little chap attended one of our High School musicians, evidently his first concert, for, when one of the numbers was encored and the performers returned to the platform and merely bowed, Jack turned, surprised, sympathetic, yet disgusted, face to his mother and said, "Have they forgotten their piece already?"
Little Elva went to Sunday school for the first time. During the lesson, the teacher asked each of the little girls to repeat the verse they had learned that week. When they had finished, she said, "Elva, do you know a verse?" Elva replied, "Yes, I had a little dog, His name was Jack. I shut him in a barn, and he jumped out a crack."
Months afterward this Sunday school gave an entertainment. Elva had been drilled and drilled on a beautiful and appropriate piece. She knew it perfectly.
The evening came. The large church was full of people. Elva's turn came, and to the amusement of the audience and the amazement of her parents and teacher, she repeated:
"I had a little dog."
His name was Jack. I shut him in a barn, And he jumped out a crack. Mrs. K. and 4-year-old Dot were leaving home on the sleeping car. After Dot had finished her regular prayer, her mother told her to ask God to take care of papa while they were gone. Dot said: "Oh, I don't want to bother God about a little thing like that." "Let's play I was papa," said 5-year-old Tom. "All right," said his mama. Then Tom disappeared and came in the front way. "How do you do, dear," said mama! "That's not what you should say," said Tom. "What should I say?" "Well, you're late as usual."
Lee and Paul are playmates and attend school together in Omaha, Paul being one class in advance. Lee's father had been urging him to work hard at school that he might overtake Paul. One day he came home from school, his face radiant with smiles, and, running up to his father, exclaimed: "Papa, I'm up with Paul!" "Indeed? I'm glad to hear that," said his father. "In what book are you reading now?" "Oh, I'm in the same book." "Well, but you said you are up with Paul?" "Well, I am. They put Paul back."
Mrs. H. went to church to celebrate Easter leaving her two little ones in charge of a servant. On her return from church Will and Elsa were not to be found. Search was made for them, but when the mother was almost frantic they came walking in from Sunday school, Elsa in a blue gingham apron with her hair in curling rags, tied with silk strings. Willie could not find his hat, so he put on an old bonnet that he had found coming where. It was on crooked, and altogether they must have been a comical sight as they walked into the Sunday school of the Kountz Memorial church.
One day little six-year-old Clara O. came home from school and said: "Mama, have made an appointment with Walter for nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Seeing a smile on mama's face she added quickly: "Mama, he is always hungry, and I just thought I would fill him up for once, so I told him to meet me at the corner." M.E.I.
A primary Sunday school teacher, while teaching the lesson of the resurrection, asked the following question: "We all plant seeds in the spring, now what becomes of them?" A little chap of four years jumped up and said in a loud, clear tone: "I know. The chickens come and eat it up."
Not far from the corner of Twentieth and California streets there lives a little girl named Amy K. One evening, while deep absorbed in making paper flowers, she suddenly remarked: "Mama, when I grow up I am going to marry a man named Donnelly, and then I'm going to name my little girl Amy, and then her name will be Evadently." Apparently, evidently, has been a household word.
It has been said that "people are born, not made," and the following couplets will prove the truth of that assertion. Little Gertrude Schermerhorn was four years old when she would take any book she could get and pen and compose these little jingles:
Oh, my dear, see if the tears 'Are running down your cheek.'
The donkey work?, It runs and jerks.
The steamboat flies away,
The children go to play.
The soil has taken my sheep away;
Bring it back again, I pray.
John and Jay went out to play
All upon a summer day.
John and Jay were very glad
Because they wanted to go to heaven so bad.
We will go to sleep at eleven o'clock,
Then we'll all wake up to keep.
Little children going down street,
Looking down to get some meat,
Little children, bright and fair,
Little children, do you dare?
Come up stairs, as you can see;
Grandpa, you must wait for me.
Now they all run in the house,
For grandma is afraid of a mouse.
The end of the world is nigh:
I shall be glad to go up on high.
An Aesthetic.
Those who have traveled in the Rockies may remember the beautiful scenery of the Price River canyon, and the huge pillars forming the "Castle Gate," that guards the entrance to that canyon. The writer of the following poem, having heard that once upon a time these mountains lay submerged under the great ocean, conceived the fancy that the "Castle Gate" at that time guarded the sea king's palace.
Can it then be, once under the sea, it guarded the Sea king's palace?
Whom did it guard, with watch and ward? Who was it bore him malice?
Strong stories are told of the Sea king bold,
and of his beautiful daughter.
The charms that she knew, the sorceries
too, that the old Sea king had taught her.
Lorel was her name, and great was her
fame, for she sang as she combed her
locks;
Every ship that did hear, was forced to
draw near, but only to dash on the rocks.
Then was her glee, as back to the sea,
to her "Castle Gate" returning,
Awaiting there, sees a lover so fair, for
whom her heart is yearning.
That "Castle Gate" could strange tales relate,
If speech to its stones were granted;
Yet it seems as though it dreams, as
if still by those scenes 'twere haunted.
PAULINE PRINCE.
A Cleopatra I've Met.
Once upon a time a city in Nebraska went
to visit her cousin, a city in Maine. The
weather was beautiful, and after some planning,
they determined to take a trip through
the country with a party of friends. The
company consisted of two lakes in eastern
Africa, two capes on the coast of Virginia, a
city in Ohio, a county in Oregon, a town in
North Dakota and a town in Nebraska. They
were chaperoned by "a long river in North
America, who wore in the cool evening a
mountain in Oregon, made of a city in India,
the color of mountains in Virginia. Her
dress was a sea in Europe serge. The young
ladies wore the conventional mountains in
Virginia, trimmed within a sea in Europe. They
took a sufficient lunch for the first day. It
consisted of some islands in the Pacific
ocean, a country in Europe, some river in
Oregon, some islands in the Indian ocean, with
a little mountain in western Massachusetts.
They took for a relish, a country in South
America sauce, and a little island in the
Atlantic in case of distress. They also took
a plentiful supply of a division of Spain soap
and a city in France. They had but
one city in New Jersey among them; the
river in Germany they also threw away.
An island in the Irish sea gave them valuable
information about their proposed trip.
While they were crossing a deep forest their
mountains in Germany were filled with a
cape in the United States, which a lake
in North America. They also saw in the
distance a lake in Maine. By using caution
they had a cape in Africa that they would
escape a cape in Australia. Out they began
to feel a swamp in the United States, for
they only had a little hard tack and a cape
in Massachusetts, which was very like a lake in
Utah, to eat.
One day the news that a dear friend was
a sea in Palestine made them bring their
trip to an abrupt close.

For bereaved mothers.
Our God in heaven, from that holy place, to each of us an angel guide has given, but mothers of dead children have more. Brace, for they give angels to their God and heaven.
How can a mother's heart feel cold or weary, knowing her dearer self safe, happy, and innocent? How can she find her road too dark or dreary, who knows such heavenly treasure sheltered from the storm?
She knows that when the mighty angels raise chorus in heaven, one little silver tone is hers forever, that one little praise, one little, happy voice is all her own.
We may not see her sacred crown of honor, but all the nimble flitting to and fro, pause smiling as they pass, they look upon her as mother of an angel whom they know.

Most gladly wo reslfjn our oJtorlal | space
to ono \vho , by vlrluo of her ability and ex
perience , says so beautifully the tilings wo
would like to say , Mrs. Mark Scheriel. as-
soc'atc ' editor of the Toledo , 0. , Sunday
Journal , whose years of experience In the
household department' makes her untiues-
tlor.ed authority. Wo will only add to her
article , by way of endorsement , "Them's
Our Sentiments. "
American Itou < ! li ! di.
The household department of a paper ! I
often wonder If people really know what the
hpusehold department of a juper U responsi
ble for. Domestic economy Is , aside from
questions of the state , the largest question
before the people today.
In the llrst place , the American woman Is
the power behind the throne ; Indeed , the
queen In many Instances , and If the home be
not sweet and high and flue , where are the
fine , high-minded men to come from ? Not
ono department of that establishment , the
home , should be thought bcneaUi the careful
and Intelligent supervision of the homekceper ,
To k p house well Is as much of a trade as
to properly conduct any other business.
Housekeeping Is a business , and not a small
one , and the homekeeper who attends well
to those things provided by the bread winner ,
her husband , Is his partner and Is fulfilling
a beautiful mission , It she performs It with
care and consideration.
Economy seems to he the stumbling block
of the American people. They lleo from It.
and are ashamed of It. It Is as the scarlet
cloth to the animal In tlio Spanish arena.
People are afraid to' lot the awful secret
that they economize get out among people
they practice It when they must , behind
bolted doors.
How much finer and more serene Is the
household , where the living U within the
limits of the Income , and where a safe econ
omy Is the keynote of the household. Ir
that homo the boys and girls have mora
courage and hate shatr.B. That home Is noi
* a "Queen Anne front and Mary Ann back , '
with oriental rugs In the drawing room , and
not a decent pot with which to cook In the
kitchen.
The family whoso beds are sweet and o
goad quality Is the place whence comei
wholesome food , whose comforts are lookec
to before the luxuries , that Is the family
respected by the community. Shams are the
most easily detected tilings In the world , am
therefore , because there are so many In ou :
homes , I say the household editor has great
responsibilities. Louise Markschoffel.
A little brown bird has built her nest.

Oh , little 'brown bird whose nest Is here ,

tant truth In these few words truth out o
which may bo solved a rule of living tha
will lift us up to the heavens not today , no

learned our lesson , wo shall understand tha
each one comes to us as a help and not a
hindrance to the better , truer life In whlcl
alone Is happiness.
It Is a liai > lt with the majority of people to
look at things through cyea which seem to
have loat their power of correct measure
ment. And because this Is lacking what ar
trifles appear out of all proportion to the !
surroundings and hide what Is really pleasan
from view. In our homes , In social life. In
business matters , this Is true. A home
Keeper will allow herself to be upset for a

change In her household arrangements. She
cjinnot have her washing , her Ironing , lie
baking done at the regular time and forth
with the whole world Is awry. It Is co
that she Is herself necessarily n weak or a
foolish woman. Possibly when the day o
great trial and suffering comes slio will bo
found with an armor of courageous en
durance that cannot be penetrated , but these
little departures cut of the gronvo she has
made for her homo cares to run In i.ssume
abnormal proportions and their posslbl
effects overtop all surroundings. In ruillty
the greater part of the unpleasant icsult
come from her own failure to see things In
tj their trim proportions. A month hrnco am
what will It matter ?
It Is the same way In social life. I have
seen the enjoyment taken out of \\hole de >
because of what seemed a neglect , a condc
Kcenslon. a slight on the part of one woman
toward another who fancies this a xlgu tha
alio Is regarded as an Inferior. In nine cases
out of ten there Is no design or Intention In
the matter and any unhnpplness over I
merely comes from giving importance out c
proportion to the reality. We arc all human
bclrgs working toward the same goal and I
Is only those things that affect progres
thither that are worth considering.
Things gain disproportionate values in the
business world also and there Is nothing tha

Men grow nervous and Irritable because some

greater extent than seems possible. Vita
mistakes are often made growing out of ills
turbd conditions produced from what h th
merest trifles when compared to the Interest

It Is a great pity that we do not helte
learn the true proportions of every I'.ay hap

The result would be a peace and tranqulllty

Incident * of frontier
In the spring of 1856 , owing to a comblna-
lon of circumstances , our attention was
urnU toward the new west. The necemry
reparations being completed , we started for
Nebraska territory , traveling across the sUtci
n oar own carriage , and arriving safely at
) mahi , then a mere village.
After a night's mt at the Douglas hotel
ust finished , and. considered quite palatial
we stowed away children ami bundles ai
omfortably as possible , said "Good-bye , "
vlth a sigh of regret for even this small evi
dence of civilization , and pushed on towards
our destination , a small settlement about
forty miles to the northwest. Just at suiwt
wo drove Into the town (7) ( ) , which conslited
of log cabins and a few Indian wigwams.
\ roughly dressed man , wearing a dilapidated
silk hat , Its crown flapping In the breeze ,
carao to meet us , extending kindly grrotlni ; ;
ust behind we saw a big copper-colored In
dian who held out his hand , saying "How , "
n gutteral tones. We were much frightened
by the unusual salutation , and hastened on to
he building , called hotel. What o strange
sight to unaccustomed eyes ! What was the
matter with the houses ? No chimneys the
stovepipes extending up through the roofs
of the cabins. Indians were about , clothed
n blankets and buffalo robes ; wagons and
arming Implements were scattered around
the doorways , while cows , pigs and chickens
vandered In all directions. As soon as possl-
jle we moved Into our log cabin which , owing
0 lack of material , was minus doors and
windows , Indian blankets being hung In their
places. Thus securely ( ? ) guarded , wo retired
.0 rest. I arose early the next morning to
prepare breakfast , as biscuit must be made ,
: he convenient bakery not yet being estab
lished. Pan In hand I went to the sack of
flour , where It had been placed the pravlous
day , seeing what I s"posed was my black
silk apron upon It , I attempted to pick It up ,
but to my horror It began to uncoil and glide
up the wall. I called for help , and my hus
band rushed In with a hatchet , which he
hurled at the fast disappearing serpent. Thus
was housekeeping on the frontier Inaugurated.
A great frolic for the children was their dally
visit to the spring for water , .which was car
ried homo.ln , a barrel placed on a "llrzard. "
said llzzard'belng a fork of a * tree , with chain
attached. During our first winter a severe
snow storm of three days duration occurred ,
the entire country being- covered to the depth
of four or five feet on a level. No fences or
gates were vlslbla until spring. It was a very
common occurrence to have the room suddenly
darkened by Indians standing at the windows ,
those who could not see from below climbing
to the shoulders of'their friends , for a bet
ter view of the "heap pretty squaw , " as they
expressed It. Often several braves would
come In with a quantity of bread dough ,
bogged or stolen from some one , and order mete
to bake It. Being desperately afraid of them ,
1 would Invariably do so , while they would
wait , seated upon the Moor , until the baking
was done. Many were the trials of pioneer
life. Still there were pleasures and excite
ments to vary Its monotony. Lyceum oven-
ings. New Year's suppers , to which nil con
tributed "bountifully , the old-fashioned singing
school , and the Inevitable "candy pull" served
for pastimes.
Prairie fires' caused great alarm , often
sweeping down on the Ilttls village , threaten
ing Its entire destruction , the flames rushing
to our very doors , with such rapidity that the
men were obliged to form themselves Into
one continuous line , using any convenient
article to beat out the fire , sometimes taking
their coats for the purpose. Still greater ex
citement was caused by the genuine. Indian
"scares , " when we waited In hourly expecta
tion of being "tomahawked" by the noble
red man. During one of these uprisings we
sought safety In Omaha , and have always been
greatly Interested In watching Its rap'.c
growth , from a small hamlet to the preset !
large and thriving city , with Us miles o
paved streets and electric railways , parks
line public buildings , and the miny othe
luxuries that we/ never dreamed of In thos
early days ef Nebraska' * existence. "

Tim Old Quilt.
I've brought out this old quilt of mine ;
How strange It looks , yet once 'twas fine
There's every color here to be seen.
From the brightest red to the deepest green
There's plaids , and stripes , and flowers , too
Of every kind and of every hue ;
Ami as I gaze nt the mixed array ,
Each piece brings to mind some special day
Here's this plfcce from my grandmother'
gown ,
Handed from daughter to granddaughte
down ,
And yet It seems to smile from this place ,
Just as did once her dear old face.
How all these patches speak to me !
Some tell of the friends I no more see.
I'll fold up the quilt and lay It away ;
It Is far too line on the beds to stay.
And ns these patches , so our days.
Koch fits to'the other In various , ways ;
And If one Is wrong , we can easily sec
The thing as a whole will not agree.

Ject gains In Importance. That a woman
should at all times and In all places be
clothed neatly and appropriately Is a foregone
gene conclusion. It Is a woman's sacred dut ;
to clothe herself as becomingly and ns
healthfully as she may. It Is duo to those
nearest and dearest to her , disregarding the
question of- self approval. To dresss one's
self healthfully does not necessitate ugliness
nor clumsiness In detail as so many wouU
have use believe. Many and varied are the
so-called dress reformers and though come o
them approximate a beautiful ideal none has
proved entirely satisfactory.
Some In themselves are graceful and be
coming , but vo , are obliged to consider pres
cnt conditions and some costumes are too
Idealistic for the ovcry day up-to-date
woman.
Can we not trust to woman's nath'e tac
and adaptability to work out this problem li
her own good time nml In her own swee
nay ? I prophesy success.
Wo are all familiar with certain set rules
In regard to our wearing apparel. Gooi
taste dictates that we should wear only
what Is suitable to the occasion. "Puss am
feathers" have their proper place , but out o
place lese their beauty and charm. Some
time ago I came across a bit of advice which
for pith and point covers a large field. In
selecting colors for the street match the hair
for the house , the eyes , and for the evenlni
the skin. Think It over a bit and you wll
see that a woman who follows this rule wll
always bo well dressed so far as the color
tchemo Is concerned. Then , as to fit. Don'
put all of your money Into an expensive piece
of dress goods with elegant trimmings am
then try to economize by hiring ft cheap dress
maker. Hat her select , unless your bank ac
count bs unlimited , some fine , qulet-tonei
cloth In the prevailing mode and have 1
fitted by as expert a dressmaker as you can
afford. Your satisfaction will be assured
Do not trust too much to the artistic In
atlncti of your dressmaker. Make It a poln
to study your own particular style andflgure
end then Insist on her following your lines
Instead of accepting her ultimatum that you
must have "this and so" became It is the
style. "A woman might as well bs out o
the world as out of the fashion , " but to be
well dressed she muit adapt the style to
hcrielf , Instead of herself tp the style.

The new woman la nothing- not broa <
and though articles from the masculine pen
have been tabooed , we cannot resist the
temptation to give our readera of the
woman's paper this :
\\ull from tlio HuthAiul of a Now Woman
I am the husband of a new woman. The
transformation which marriage hai producer
In mo la the wonder and , possibly , chagrin
of all my relatives and friends. When we
vowed our vows In a church before a broken
legged clergyman I wat In all rcipects un
domestic and undomestlcated. I had ipon
my latter ten years boarding and was \vel
ll He } with It. I had always , when a
home , ibtrkel all household duties , left the
cooking and cleaning to mother and the
hlr'd girl and the wcoj chopping to a younger
brotlio.v I was the Intellectual prodigy o
the family , and the merest suggestion o
any domestic toll for me would have tniultei
tbo whole family. Yes. I am positive that
luj been properly rear til ; dead sure of. It
dIJn't know an Axmlnslcr from a Brus lls
nd bcllevo that Ilartshorne shade * had to
o with ammonia.
Alasl tout Cbla c'cst change. Of course
ire began boarding , to my entire fatlstnc-
lon , but In due course of time , beguiled by
he tearful entreaties of my consort and by
he alluring and utterly false plea of
'economy , " I consented to "keep house , "
nd wo have been at It ever since. Never
hall I forget the woes and miseries of "go-
nf , to houtekccplng for the first time. "
About a dozen times the subject of a com-
Icto separation was discussed very sln-
orely , but no conclusion reached. When-
vcr courage utterly failed we wcro cheered
> y the mirage of "how nice everything will
o when we are all fixed up and settled. " I
m still chasing that rainbow In my optl- .
mlstlc , silly moments. I know better.
At length we began to live In the house ,
nd my sphere of duties began to enlarge
nd my optical pupils began to dilate. In
ho old days nt home I remembered somc-
vhat dimly about "poor , tired father , " and *
ho way mother used to get up every morn-
ng to bullJ the fires and get breakfast and
hen call father. "Call father ! " Just
hlnk of It. Tempera mutantur. I soon
discovered that the "lady of the house"
ouldn't build a flro ( except , possibly. In a
ts stove ) , and tha can't yet. So , as I had
0 learn that at college , of course. I had to
julld the fires. Then I would call the
oraph and she would condescend to get the
> rcakfast. I had been used to coffco for
irenkfast ; she , to tea. Tea went , and It
till goes. She rtvcalol to me pretty soon
hat she wag not a very strong physical per-
on and that when she arose In the morn-
ng she had to have tea the first thing or
ho would get faint , have a furious head
ache , be cross , etc. , etc. So , by her Instruc-
lon , I learned to make teat Is the gentle
oader watching this swift desensus avernl ?
Tea ! and toast was all she wanted for break-
'ast , and toast was easily made , she said.
So It was arranged that I arise , make the
flro and the tea and then call her to make
tha toast en ! the oatmeal. Gradually I be
came Introduced Into the mysteries of toast
and oatmeal , and there I was In a short
time actually getting breakfast for two and
.hen calling her to the same ! In some way
.ho nowa of my accomplishments came to the
ears of sundry and divers relatives of mine ,
and they came from miles around to watch
: no and marvel and sigh.
From tea and toast to coffee ( for myself If
[ ever wanted It ) was easy. Then came fried ,
Wiled and dropped eggs , beefiteak , baked po
tatoes , stewed oysters all things I very much
liked , but which she didn't like and which I
was forced to learn to cook In order to over
get a chance to feed upon them. And so It
has gene along. Since we came to Omaha
'the club" and a dozen other organizations
( for this angel Is "a jlner" ) have furnished
the occasions for more progress for me In
housekeeping. Hoast beef , veal and pork are
mere child's play to me. Asparagus , potato
soup , meat pie , peas , beans and gravies have
bHiome easy conquests , and now I do more
than two-thirds of the cooking.
IJut my sphere Is not limited to the kitchen ,
Oh , no ! I do much of the sweeping. Invar !
ably make the beds , run on errands , keep the
fires going and various et ceteras of drudgery.
lioWever , there arq llmltatlcns. I w-o-n'-t
wash the dishes and respectfully decline to
do tlio washing. A gaunt person visits us
weakly for the latter purpose and when the
dishes are washed , which Isn't too often , the
seraph does It unless she can hornswoggle a
neighbor.
Of my own mental degradation I do not
care to speak. Of the blighting of my fairest
hopes and the ruin of my cherished Ideals 1
cannot tell without unseemly emotion. My
library card lies neglected and dust-covered.
1 cannot read a line of Grfek to save my
life , although once the pride of my professor.
Modern literature Is unknown to me. I have
not read "Trilby ! "
In addition to these sorrows and the mani
fold tasks mentioned above , but only Inci
dentally and consuming a very small portion
tion of my time , I am compelled to earn the
living for the family. She ? What does she
do ? My agonized self-pride will not permit
me to expose her. but I will declare In the
presence of all these witnesses that during
the past month she has been engaged In the
heinous offense of , getting out The May Day
Dee. "A NEW HUSBAND. "
Defeat.
I saw a woman clambering up a height ;
Her form was slight ; too frail a thing she
seemed
For such a burden as was hers to bear ;
Alone she Journeyed , but her solitude.
Was such as lends a gracious charm to ai
Who gaze upon the face of one who dreams
And , dreaming , tells of sights and sounds
above
The common world that common mortals
know.
Majestic strength shone grandly from her
eyes ;
The lines about her mouth were drawn by
pain
Yet showed her lips had trembled to great
Joy.
Right humbly did she kneel before a Fhrlne
I could not see ; and , ever , when she rose.
She seemed to see beyond , the path that
stretched
So fur , so steep , seemed to see the goal
Toward which she struggled ; then the dark
ness came.
Each living soul must flnd'wlthln Itself
The might to conquer , courage to sustain ,
In an unequal battle with the world.
And so I know she bravely won the place
She strove to gain ; and when I saw her
stand
Upon the summit of her hoped-for Joy
Her triumph and her peace were glorious ;
I heard her murmur "Now grant me to see
That nobler life for which I gave my own.
I've borne the sorrow , give me my reward. '
And then there shone from out her face the
That comes when hidden , baleful fires do
burn
Within a tortured soul ; I stood beside
Her then , and looked , with her , upon a
Tossed out upon the shores of death by
That gather volume from a selfish grief
And are the waves pf weakness and of sin.
And she , so strong to counsel , tender to
Console , had worshiped what we saw and
made
Herself a living sacrifice for him.
I turned away from ruin so complete.

If the housekeepers of Nebraska could have
been represented In the late legislature , the
fate of the oleomargarine bill would have
been different.
The governor's veto In this case , would
have done no good , supported as It was by
such an overwhelming majority only about
fifteen of the whole legislature being opposed
to Its passage.
The- bill was brought up by the State Dairy
association , and the pilnt made was the use
of coloring matter , claiming that butter
color beloneed to butter Itself , and there Is
nothing elao llko It In the world , and any
Infringement on the cow product Is an out
rage.
The governor recommended that the manu
facture of the colored product to be sold
ouUlde of our own state be permitted. The
bill as amended was passed , which seems tc
us a very sneaking thing to do. If colored
"oleo" Is good enough to be used over In
Io > va , why not at home ? Our women are
almost unanimous In their condemnation of
the law , preferring pure , wholesome , aleo-
margarlne to bad Nebraska butter.
It Is a fact corroborated by old housekeep
ers here In Omaha that before oleomargarine
came Into use our markets were flooded with
poor butter , and since Its advent the quality
of tbe dairy product has steadily Improved ,
The price of gilt-edged butter bail not been
affected In the least by the competition. As
the bill doesn't go Into effect until late In the
fall let us hope the reign of the uncoloreO
product will be short. M. M. P. '

However , their fancies do not In the least
interfere with their beautiful homemaklng ,
for welt may U be said , Omaha Is a city
of home * , and given to large-hearted hospi

Something has happened since yesterday.
With the return ot May and the warm
south wind we beglil to dream of spring
flowers. The gardenlng-i Instlnot awakes In
us , and wo long to lervfe thuidomaln of fur
naces' and teal stoves and get out 6f doors
again. *
With the fragrance of Easter lilies about
us , and the Inspiration of Arbor day , we
decide that this summer we must have a
garden *
When making out the list of seeds to
plant , each woman should be a law unto
herself , cultivating and caring for those
kinds she loves best.
I think It was Gall Hamilton who sali
she "always did despise beets , but would
rather have a beet that -would grow than a
cedar of Lebanon that would not , " and the
saying Is a good one for our consideration.
A woman's garden Is whatever she chooses
to make it , whether it be one bed or fifty
and one bed well cared for nnd made to do
Its best will yield more pleasure than many
half-taken care of.
In a woman's garden the Income Is not
all visible to the eye , or to bo counted as
ono counts his coins. Out of It grow sweet
Influences and tender recollections.
The loving associations of the home cluster
around It. From It go cheer and comfort to
the * lck , and many a friendly gift or neigh
borly grestlng to the well.
Of one thing we are bure , that what ever
change life may have In store for us , such
a garden will be a pleasant memory.
'
" * * As we sow ,
Many thoughts come and go
Concerning the garden of life and Its needs. "
We know whatever wo scatter ,
Abroad on our dally pathway ,
Will bring us at last a full harvest
Of fruit or weds which sha'l ' we say ?
Shall we scatter Into
On the winds of fate ?
Or the love that makes glad the harvest
day ?

And now , after 4,000 years , modern science
announces that the Mosaic laws regarding
diet , washings , etc. , were not merely ceremonial
menial after all. It says that our savory
ham and bacon must not bo eaten unless
thoroughly cooked , and oven cautions us to
wash the knife with which the slices were
cut before using It again.
It Is true that animals which "chew the
cud and have cloven hoofs" furnish the most
wholesome and nutritious meats. Will some
scientist please tell us what objection there
can be to the flesh of a rabbit , cqulrrel or
bear as an article of food ? The eating of
fat was forbidden by the law-giver. Those
who aspire to delicate cooking now fry their
doughnuts In olive oil or cottolenc.

[ am very fond of reading , but find It qulto
mncccssary to subscribe for any current

Ightful brcczo brings mo the "Now York

I walk around to view the kitchen garden ,
and the first thing that meets my eye Is a

"Calumet" was the first and la the only
high grade baking powder off tied to the
trade at a moderate price. It should not be
confused or associated with the multitude of
cfticap preparations placed on the market un
der the name of baking powder. In strength ,
quality and whole omeacss It has no superior.
The materials which enter Into the composi
tion of the "Calumet" are all tested by a
competent chemist , who gives his entire time
to the preparation of the powder. Any ma
terial that falls to satisfy the required stan
dard Is thrown out. Tills method Insures ab
solute uniformity. The manufacturers of
"Calumet" do not Invoke the aid of govern
ment chemists ( ? ) or ( bogus ) boards of
health ( ? ) . They offer their goods on their
merits , and are satisfied with a fair manufac
turer's profit. This new departure on the part
of "Calumet" has called forth abuse both
from the high-priced monopolists , and from
I ho" makers of Inferior trash , called baking
powder.
' "Calumet" contains more leavening gas
than any baking powder In the market The
directions on lamel say "use two teaspoonfuls
to a quart of flour. " The directions on the
labels of the much advertised high priced
baking powders say "use two teaspoonfuls tea
a quart of flour. " No can of baking powder
will go farther than a can ot "Calumet , "
"Calumet" Justly claims to have discovered
the "golden mean" In Its line , namely :
Monopoly must yield to moderation.
Impurity must Improve or go under.
"Calumet" Is the standard.

Indited by Mrs. Mark Schermerhorn.
Lore, My Life in the blithe, breezy morning, Out to the green fields a way, With laughter and song The road speeds along, For this is the first day of May. Oh, chime heart, be Ray, the hawthorn today Bend your white for your plucking up and away! Far in the pleasant nature straying, Within the wood dell still and deep, With low laughter and fill, With swift keen eyes Two lovers their trying time keen. Oh, strong hearts that beat with pulse Brimfully sweet, The May time is ever where love's kisses greet. Under the blooming cherry branches, Close where the Garden path is how, With slow tread feet, With pinned shy feet, They tarry, who a Maying would go. Oh, true hearts that beat time's measure LoveEyeWill "you the secret that May's time doth keep. H. N. SHUMAN.

Most gladly we resublish our official space to one who, by virtue of her ability and experience, says so beautifully the things we would like to say, Mrs. Mark Schermerhorn, associate editor of the Toledo, O., Sunday Journal, whose years of experience in the household department makes her unquestioned authority. We will only add to her article, by way of endorsement, "Those are Our Sentiments."
American Home Rule.
The household department of a paper! I often wonder if people really know what the household department of a paper is responsible for. Domestic economy is, aside from questions of the state, the largest question before the people today.
In the first place, the American woman is the power behind the throne; indeed, the queen in many instances, and if the home be not sweet and high and fine, where are the fine, high-minded men to come from? Not one department of that establishment, the home, should be thought beneath the careful and intelligent supervision of the homemaker, To keep house well is as much of a trade as to properly conduct any other business.
Housekeeping is a business, and not a small one, and the homekeeper who attends well to those things provided by the breadwinner, her husband, is his partner and is fulfilling a beautiful mission, if she performs it with care and consideration.
Economy seems to be the stumbling block of the American people. They feel from it, and are ashamed of it. It is as the scarlet cloth to the animal in the Spanish arena. People are afraid to let the awful secret that they economize get out among people they practice it when they must, behind bolted doors.
How much finer and more serene is the household, where the living is within the limits of the income, and where a safe economy is the keynote of the household. If that home the boys and girls have more courage and have shames. That home is not a "Queen Anne front and Mary Ann back," with oriental rugs in the drawing room, and not a decent pot with which to cook in the kitchen.
The family whose beds are sweet and of good quality is the place whence come wholesome food, whose comforts are looked to before the luxuries, that is the family respected by the community. Shams are the most easily detected things in the world, and therefore, because there are so many in our homes, I say the household editor has great responsibilities. Louise Markschoffel.
A little brown bird has built her nest. Close to the warmth of the earth's great breast; At sunrise she sings as she heavenward soars, Sweeter and sweeter with upward flight, Like a prison-freed captive greeting the dawn. Oh, little brown bird whose nest is here, yet whose voice is heavenward mounting clear; Emblem of music, upon whose wings The spirit ascends to the source whence it springs. ESKA IN COLLIER.
Philadelphia, April 6, 1835.
Thinking Out the Proposition.
"Life in clearer, happier, and much fuller; for us as they reveal their true proportions." Annie Payson Call has put a most important truth in these few words, a truth out of which may be solved a rule of living that will lift us up to the heavens, not today, nor tomorrow perhaps, but in the sometime of eternity. It will make today, however, a blessed experience even though the hours are full of what we usually term perplexities and perhaps of trials that may become little sorrows. It will be blessed because, having learned our lesson, we shall understand that each one comes to us as a help and not a hindrance to the better, truer life in which alone is happiness.
It is a habit with the majority of people to look at things through eyes which seem to have lost their power of correct measurement. And because this is lacking, what are trifles appear out of all proportion to the surroundings and hide what is really pleasant from view. In our homes, in social life, in business matters, this is true. A housekeeper will allow herself to be upset for a whole day because of some compulsory change in her household arrangements. She cannot have her washing, her ironing, her baking done at the regular time and forthwith the whole world is awry. It is not that she is herself necessarily weak or a foolish woman. Possibly when the day of great trial and suffering comes, she will be found with an armor of courageous endurance that cannot be penetrated, but these little departures from the grove she has made for her home cares to run in assume abnormal proportions and their possible effects overtop all surroundings.
In really, the greater part of the unpleasant results come from her own failure to see things in their true proportions. A month hence and what will it matter?
It is the same way in social life. I have seen the enjoyment taken out of whole days because of what seemed a neglect, a discourtesy, a slight on the part of one woman toward another who fancies this a slight that also is regarded as an inferior. In nine cases out of ten, there is no design or intention in the matter and any unhappiness over it merely comes from giving importance out of proportion to the reality. We are all human beings working toward the same goal and it is only those things that affect progress thither that are worth considering.
Things gain disproportionate values in the business world also and there is nothing that militates more against material success than men grow nervous and irritable because some little things about the store or office go wrong and this state of mind clouds the perceptive and the reasoning faculties to a greater extent than seems possible. Many mistakes are often made growing out of disturbed conditions produced from what are the merest trifles when compared to the interests involved.
It is a great pity that we do not help learn the true proportions of every day happenings and assign them to their right place. The result would be a peace and tranquility, bringing a clearer sight and making life better. It really reals with ourselves. If we look at everything in a practical way, seeing it as it is, more often than otherwise, our discomfort would vanish utterly. If not, if it still remains an obstacle closer to comfort and happiness, then summon courage to step over it. 'Today daily, every hourly the practice of stepping over until it comes to be indeed a matter of course.'
'Ah, if we could learn to remember always what is really the interest of life here, that it is full of just what we need to develop character and that there is not a single perplexity, a single annoyance, a single trial that may not be made a source of strength if we measure it correctly, happiness would not be so rare a thing nor so hard to hold when for a season our hearts grow light at its coming. Nor would the "vision splendid" fade so quickly away in the gathering shadows, but realize that the "vision" is the reality and the shadows the illusion of our existence.' EMILY S. JOUTIN.
Miss Emily Joutin, for many years household editor of the Toledo Blade, is known and loved far and wide for the helpful words he has given to women through his columns. Nothing adds to her happiness more than to know that she has helped some despondent, discouraged soul to "step over a hard place," as may be seen by the way true of "Tains Out of Proportion."
Incidents of frontier life in the spring of 1856, owing to a combination of circumstances, our attention was turned toward the new west. The necessary preparations being completed, we started for Nebraska territory, traveling across the Sioux in our own carriage, and arriving safely at Omaha, then a mere village.
After a night's rest at the Douglas hotel, just finished, and considered quite palatial, we stowed away children and bundles comfortably as possible, said "Good-bye," with a sigh of regret for even this small evidence of civilization, and pushed on towards our destination, a small settlement about forty miles to the northwest. Just at sunset, we drove into the town, which consisted of log cabins and a few Indian wigwams.
A roughly dressed man, wearing a dilapidated silk hat, its crown flapping in the breeze, came to meet us, extending kindly greetings; just behind we saw a big copper-colored Indian who held out his hand, saying "How," in guttural tones. We were much frightened by the unusual salutation, and hastened on to the building called hotel. What a strange sight to unaccustomed eyes! What was the matter with the houses? No chimneys, the stovepipes extending up through the roofs of the cabins. Indians were about, clothed in blankets and buffalo robes; wagons and farming implements were scattered around the doorways, while cows, pigs, and chickens wandered in all directions. As soon as possible we moved into our log cabin which, owing to lack of material, was minus doors and windows, Indian blankets being hung in their places. Thus securely guarded, we retired to rest. I arose early the next morning to prepare breakfast, as biscuit must be made, the convenient bakery not yet being established. Pan in hand I went to the sack of flour, where it had been placed the previous day, seeing what I supposed was my black silk apron upon it, I attempted to pick it up, but to my horror it began to uncoil and glide up the wall. I called for help, and my husband rushed in with a hatchet, which he hurled at the fast disappearing serpent. Thus was housekeeping on the frontier inaugurated.
A great frolic for the children was their daily visit to the spring for water, which was carried home in a barrel placed on a "lard barrel," said lard barrel being a fork of a tree, with chain attached. During our first winter a severe snowstorm of three days duration occurred, the entire country being covered to the depth of four or five feet on a level. No fences or gates were visible until spring. It was a very common occurrence to have the room suddenly darkened by Indians standing at the windows, those who could not see from below climbing to the shoulders of their friends, for a better view of the "heap pretty squaw," as they expressed it. Often several braves would come in with a quantity of bread dough, stolen or bogged from someone, and order me to bake it. Being desperately afraid of them, I would invariably do so, while they would wait, seated upon the floor, until the baking was done. Many were the trials of pioneer life. Still there were pleasures and excitements to vary its monotony. Lyceum evenings, New Year's suppers, to which all contributed "bountifully," the old-fashioned singing school, and the inevitable "candy pull" served for pastimes.
Prairie fires caused great alarm, often sweeping down upon the little village, threatening its entire destruction, the flames rushing to our very doors, with such rapidity that the men were obliged to form themselves into one continuous line, using any convenient article to beat out the fire, sometimes taking their coats for the purpose. Still greater excitement was caused by the genuine Indian "scares," when we waited in hourly expectation of being "tomahawked" by the noble red man. During one of these uprisings we sought safety in Omaha, and have always been greatly interested in watching its rapid growth, from a small hamlet to the present large and thriving city, with its miles of paved streets and electric railways, parks and public buildings, and the many other luxuries that we never dreamed of in those early days of Nebraska's existence.

The Old Quilt.
I've brought out this old quilt of mine;
How strange it looks, yet once 'twas fine.
There's every color here to be seen,
From the brightest red to the deepest green.
There's plaids, and stripes, and flowers, too,
Of every kind and of every hue;
And as I gaze at the mixed array,
Each piece brings to mind some special day.
Here's this piece from my grandmother's gown,
Handed from daughter to granddaughters down,
And yet it seems to smile from this place,
Just as did once her dear old face.
How all these patches speak to me!
Some tell of the friends I no more see.
I'll fold up the quilt and lay it away;
It is far too fine on the bed to stay.
And as these patches, so our days,
Each fits to the other in various ways;
And if one is wrong, we can easily see
The thing as a whole will not agree. HELEN URIGGS KELLY.
From rags to training bonnet.
From the day Eve donned her fig leaves
to the present day when Mrs. Bundy sails down the street in her feather bonnet skirts and balloon sleeves, the subject of clothing has been all important. In proportion to the size of the purse the subject gains in importance. That a woman should at all times and in all places be clothed neatly and appropriately is a foregone conclusion. It is a woman's sacred duty to clothe herself as becomingly and as healthfully as she may. It is due to those nearest and dearest to her, disregarding the question of self approval. To dress one's self healthfully does not necessitate ugliness nor clumsiness in detail as so many would have us believe. Many and varied are the so-called dress reformers and though come of them approximate a beautiful ideal none has proved entirely satisfactory.
Some in themselves are graceful and becoming, but yet, are obliged to consider present conditions and some costumes are too idealistic for the every day up-to-date woman.
Can we not trust to woman's innate tact and adaptability to work out this problem in her own good time and in her own sweet way? I prophesy success.
We are all familiar with certain set rules in regard to our wearing apparel. Good taste dictates that we should wear only what is suitable to the occasion. "Puss and feathers" have their proper place, but out of place lose their beauty and charm. Sometime ago I came across a bit of advice which, for pith and point, covers a large field. In selecting colors for the street, match the hair, for the house, the eyes, and for the evening, the skin. Think it over a bit and you will see that a woman who follows this rule will always be well dressed so far as the color scheme is concerned. Then, as to fit. Don't put all of your money into an expensive piece of dress goods with elegant trimmings and then try to economize by hiring a cheap dressmaker. Have her select, unless your bank account is unlimited, some fine, quiet-toned cloth in the prevailing mode and have it fitted by as expert a dressmaker as you can afford. Your satisfaction will be assured.
Do not trust too much to the artistic instincts of your dressmaker. Make it a point to study your own particular style and figure and then insist on her following your lines instead of accepting her ultimatum that you must have "this and so" because it is the style. "A woman might as well be out of the world as out of the fashion," but to be well dressed she must adapt the style to herself, instead of herself to the style.
M. K. POWELL.
The new woman is nothing less than broad, and though articles from the masculine pen have been tabooed, we cannot resist the temptation to give our readers of the woman's paper this:
A Letter from the Husband of a New Woman
I am the husband of a new woman. The transformation which marriage has produced in me is the wonder and, possibly, chagrin of all my relatives and friends. When we vowed our vows in a church before a broken-legged clergyman, I was in all respects undomestic and undomesticated. I had upon my latter ten years boarding and was well accustomed to it. I had always, when at home, shirked all household duties, leaving the cooking and cleaning to mother and the hired girl and the wood chopping to a younger brother. I was the intellectual prodigy of the family, and the merest suggestion of any domestic toil for me would have insulted the whole family. Yes, I am positive that I had been properly reared; dead sure of it, I didn't know an ax from a Brussels sprout and believe that Bleach could be used with ammonia.
Alas, that such a ceaseless change. Of course, we began boarding, to my entire satisfaction, but in due course of time, beguiled by the tearful entreaties of my consort and by the alluring and utterly false plea of "economy," I consented to "keep house," and we have been at it ever since. Never will I forget the woes and miseries of "going to housekeeping" for the first time. About a dozen times the subject of a complete separation was discussed very seriously, but no conclusion was reached. Whenever courage utterly failed, we were cheered by the mirage of "how nice everything will be when we are all fixed up and settled." I am still chasing that rainbow in my optimistic, silly moments. I know better.
At length, we began to live in the house, and my sphere of duties began to enlarge and my optical pupils began to dilate. In the old days at home, I remembered somewhat dimly about "poor, tired father," and how mother used to get up every morning to build the fires and get breakfast and then call father. "Call father!" Just think of it. Temperament mutantur. I soon discovered that the "lady of the house" couldn't build a fire (except, possibly, in a stove), and that I couldn't yet. So, as I had to learn that at college, of course, I had to build the fires. Then I would call the graph and she would condescend to get the breakfast. I had been used to coffee for breakfast; she, to tea. Tea went, and it still goes. She revealed to me pretty soon that she was not a very strong physical person and that when she arose in the morning she had to have tea the first thing or she would get faint, have a furious headache, be cross, etc., etc. So, by her instruction, I learned to make tea, the gentlelander watching this swift descent. Tea! and toast was all she wanted for breakfast, and toast was easily made, she said. So it was arranged that I arise, make the fire and the tea and then call her to make the toast and oatmeal. Gradually, I became introduced into the mysteries of toast and oatmeal, and there I was in a short time actually getting breakfast for two and then calling her to the same! In some way, the news of my accomplishments came to the ears of sundry and diverse relatives of mine, and they came from miles around to watch me and marvel and sigh.
From tea and toast to coffee (for myself if I ever wanted it) was easy. Then came fried, scrambled, and dropped eggs, beefsteak, baked potatoes, stewed oysters—all things I very much liked, but which she didn't like and which I was forced to learn to cook in order to occasionally get a chance to feed upon them. And so it has gone along. Since we came to Omaha, the club" and a dozen other organizations (for this angel is "a joiner") have furnished the occasions for more progress for me in housekeeping. Roast beef, veal, and pork are mere child's play to me. Asparagus, potato soup, meat pie, peas, beans, and gravies have been easy conquests, and now I do more than two-thirds of the cooking.
But my sphere is not limited to the kitchen. Oh, no! I do much of the sweeping, invariably make the beds, run on errands, keep the fires going, and various etceteras of drudgery. However, there are limitations. I won't wash the dishes and respectfully decline to do the washing. A gaunt person visits us weekly for the latter purpose and when the dishes are washed, which isn't too often, the seraph does it unless she can hornswoggle a neighbor.
Of my own mental degradation, I do not care to speak. Of the blighting of my fairest hopes and the ruin of my cherished ideals, I cannot tell without unseemly emotion. My library card lies neglected and dust-covered. I cannot read a line of Greek to save my life, although once the pride of my professor. Modern literature is unknown to me. I have not read "Trilby!"
In addition to these sorrows and the manifold tasks mentioned above, but only incidentally and consuming a very small portion of my time, I am compelled to earn the living for the family. She? What does she do? My agonized self-pride will not permit me to expose her, but I will declare in the presence of all these witnesses that during the past month she has been engaged in the heinous offense of, getting out The May Day Book. "A NEW HUSBAND."
Defeat.
I saw a woman clambering up a height; Her form was slight; too frail a thing she seemed For such a burden as was hers to bear; Alone she journeyed, but her solitude Was such as lends a gracious charm to all Who gaze upon the face of one who dreams And, dreaming, tells of sights and sounds above The common world that common mortals know.
Majestic strength shone grandly from her eyes; The lines about her mouth were drawn by pain Yet showed her lips had trembled to great joy.
Right humbly did she kneel before a shrine,
I could not see; and, ever, when she rose,
She seemed to see beyond, the path that stretched
So far, so steep, seemed to see the goal
Toward which she struggled; then the darkness came.
Each living soul must find within itself
The might to conquer, courage to sustain,
In an unequal battle with the world.
And so I know she bravely won the place
She strove to gain; and when I saw her
Stand
Upon the summit of her hoped-for joy
Her triumph and peace were glorious;
I heard her murmur "Now grant me to see
That nobler life for which I gave my own.
I've borne the sorrow, give me my reward. '
And then there shone from out her face the
That comes when hidden, baleful fires do
Burn
Within a tortured soul; I stood beside
Her then, and looked, with her, upon a
Tossed out upon the shores of death by
That gather volume from a selfish grief
And are the waves of weakness and of sin.
And she, so strong to counsel, tender to
Console, had worshiped what we saw and
Made
Herself a living sacrifice for him.
I turned away from ruin so complete.

If the housekeepers of Nebraska could have
Been represented in the late legislature, the
Fate of the oleomargarine bill would have
Been different.
The governor's veto in this case, would
Have done no good, supported as it was by
Such an overwhelming majority only about
Fifteen of the whole legislature being opposed
To its passage.
The bill was brought up by the State Dairy
Association, and the point made was the use
Of coloring matter, claiming that butter
Color belonged to butter itself, and there is
Nothing else like it in the world, and any
Infringement on the cow product is an outrage.
The governor recommended that the manufacture of the colored product to be sold
Outside of our own state be permitted. The
Bill as amended was passed, which seems to
Us a very sneaking thing to do. If colored
Oleo is good enough to be used over in
Iowa, why not at home? Our women are
Almost unanimous in their condemnation of
The law, preferring pure, wholesome, oleomargarine to bad Nebraska butter.
It is a fact corroborated by old housekeepers here in Omaha that before oleomargarine
Came into use our markets were flooded with
Poor butter, and since its advent the quality
Of the dairy product has steadily improved,
The price of gilt-edged butter has not been
Affected in the least by the competition. As
The bill doesn't go into effect until late in the
Fall, let us hope the reign of the uncolored
Product will be short. M. M. P.

Our beautiful city of the middle west is
Fast becoming celebrated for many things,
But the least of which is our women.
A noted traveler, after a brief sojourn
Among us, remarked: "For brilliancy and
Versatility, I have never seen their equal."
It goes without saying our women are enthusiasts,
That they have decided fancies
Even hobble; many of which you are requested to mount,
But as they are largely philanthropic,
And have for their aim the bettering of humanity,
A short spin does not hurt you,
In many cases proving a delightful
Innovation, and in some instances a complete
Conversion.
However, their fancies do not in the least
Interfere with their beautiful homemaking,
For well may it be said, Omaha is a city
Of homes, and given to large-hearted hospitalities.
Housekeeping, as a science, and homemaking
As an art, are both the pride and
Joy of its women, some of whom are willing
To have their fancies known, and sacrifice
Their favorite recipes for the sake of the
Cause.

And has a fondness for "something good to
Mrs. Lola Carleton is addicted to amateur

Excellent Baking Powder Three ounces
Artificial acid, four ounces baking soda, nine
Ounces flour or cornstarch. Mix
And sift five times. Makes over a pound.
Mrs. Carleton.
Brown Bread (Mrs. Buck's) One pint
Graham flour, one pint of corn meal, one
Pint sour milk, one-half cup molasses, one
Teaspoon salt, one teaspoon soda. Steam
Two or three hours.
Veal Loaf (Mrs. Ludington's) Three
And one-half pounds of fillet veal, one-fourth
Pound of pickled pork, add two well-beaten
Eggs, piece of butter size of an egg, one
Tablespoon salt, one teaspoon pepper, one
Teaspoon sage. Work all together in form

Sweetbread Croquettes Soak one pound of
Sweetbreads in cold water until the blood is
Extracted, put them in warm water, let
Come to a boil; change the water; this do
Three or four times; let boil until white and
Tender, skin and chop fine. Have ready
Good soup stock, potatoes, peas, tomatoes,
Celery and onions in such proportion that no
One flavor will predominate. Make sauce of
Four ounces of butter, three tablespoons

And salt; cook until rather stiff, add the
Sweetbreads; set on ice to cool and mold in
Any shape desired. Dip in beaten egg with
Pepper, salt, and tablespoonful of cold water
For each egg. Roll in bread or cracker
Crumbs and fry. Mrs. A. P. Wood.
Italian Cream One quart of thick cream,
One teacup of sugar, one pint of new milk,
One ounce of gelatin; cook gelatin in milk
Twenty minutes, then stir until cool; while
Cooking add sugar and a little salt; strain
While hot. Have your cream whipped to a stiff froth on ice; flavor with vanilla or pineapple.
As soon as gelatin is in proper state for mixing, pour in the cream, mix thoroughly, pour in molds and place on ice. Mrs. John O. Tipton.
Roasted Ice Cream To prepare this culinary curiosity, use the lower half of a round sponge cake as the base. Upon this place a small, very solidly frozen form of ice cream. Cover this thickly with a very stiff meringue of sugar and white of an egg. Sprinkle with sugar. Heat a salamander or the kitchen's shovel red hot and hold it sufficiently close to the meringue to brown it on all sides. This gives the appearance of having been roasted and at the same time the ice cream is perfectly frozen. Alice Hoyt Letson.
Lemon Pie (Mrs. Henryson) Juice and rind of one lemon, one cup sugar, one tablespoon cornstarch, two eggs, mix together with one cup, 6 ounces boiling water, stirring constantly until it thickens. Testing for same: White of one egg, three teaspoons of powdered sugar.
Pound Cake (Mrs. Joseph Parker) One pound sugar, one pound flour, three-quarters teaspoon baking powder, one teaspoon vanilla. White of ten eggs, one cup of flour, one and one-half cups of powdered sugar, one teaspoon cream of tartar, lemon flavoring.
Out from the hollow a blue bird's trill Faintly ripples; then dies away. Catkins peep over the pulseless rill Something has happened since yesterday. With the return of May and the warm south wind we began to dream of spring flowers. The gardening instinct awakens in us, and we long to relive the wonder of furnaces and teal stoves and get out of doors again.
With the fragrance of Easter lilies about us, and the inspiration of Arbor Day, we decide that this summer we must have a garden.
When making out the list of seeds to plant, each woman should be a law unto herself, cultivating and caring for those kinds she loves best.
I think it was Gall Hamilton who said, "she always did despise beets, but would rather have a beet that would grow than a cedar of Lebanon that would not," and the saying is a good one for our consideration.
A woman's garden is whatever she chooses to make it, whether it be one bed or fifty, and one bed well cared for and made to do its best will yield more pleasure than many half-taken care of.
In a woman's garden the income is not all visible to the eye, or to be counted as one counts his coins. Out of it grow sweet influences and tender recollections.
The loving associations of the home cluster around it. From it go cheer and comfort to the sick, and many a friendly gift or neighborly greeting to the well.
Of one thing we are sure, that whatever change life may have in store for us, such a garden will be a pleasant memory.
As we sow, Many thoughts come and go Concerning the garden of life and its needs. We know whatever we scatter, Abroad on our daily pathway, Will bring us at last a full harvest Of fruit or weeds which shall we say? Shall we scatter into On the winds of fate? Or the love that makes glad the harvest day?
And now, after 4,000 years, modern science announces that the Mosaic laws regarding diet, washings, etc., were not merely ceremonial and menial after all. It says that our savory ham and bacon must not be eaten unless thoroughly cooked, and even cautions us to wash the knife with which the slices were cut before using it again.
It is true that animals which "chew the cud and have cloven hoofs" furnish the most wholesome and nutritious meats. Will someone please tell us what objection there can be to the flesh of a rabbit, opossum, or bear as an article of food? The eating of fat was forbidden by the law-giver. Those who aspire to delicate cooking now fry their doughnuts in olive oil or cottonseed.
Before Harvey discovered the circulation of the blood, its functions and diseases were unknown, yet we read in this old book, "You shall not eat the blood of no manner of flesh." But it is going too far to take from us all that lives in the waters except such as have "fins and scales"; we might do without the lobster, but the oyster never! Yet they do say that shellfish of all kinds are very heating to the blood, and some former devotees of the popular bivalve have allowed their love for it to wax cold.
The seventh day rest is acknowledged by all to be necessary to the highest physical and mental vigor, whatever differences of choice or opinion there may be as to which day shall be the seventh, or in what manner the "rest" shall be taken.
Prophets claim to foresee that at some time, perhaps not very far distant, the so-called "laws of Moses" (excepting only those pertaining to sacrifices) will be regarded as a complete and trustworthy compendium of religious rules. And they predict that in those days, instead of lying in his grave before his cycle is fifty years old, a man at the age of thirty or forty will "gather up his feet into the bed and yield up the ghost," not painfully, but calmly, as the sun passes below the horizon after spending its day in useful service.
THE END.
Calumet contains more leavening gas than any baking powder in the market. The directions on the can say "use two teaspoonfuls to a quart of flour." The directions on the labels of the much-advertised high-priced baking powders say "use two teaspoonfuls to a quart of flour." No can of baking powder will go farther than a can of "Calumet," which justly claims to have discovered the "golden mean" in its line, namely: Monopoly must yield to moderation. Impurity must improve or go under. "Calumet" is the standard.

We have heard it remarked that the success of the May Day edition of The Bee might lead the ladies of Omaha to launch forth a daily paper of their own. We have no doubt it would be highly creditable to both the ladies and the city, but we hardly think such a venture probable since cooking has been made such a delightful pastime by the use of that ingenious and unequaled combination of animal fat and vegetable oil, known as HAMMOND'S Pure, Healthful, Nutritious, Delicious. An economic product in an economic time.

AMERICAN WOMEN IN THE fVINISTRY
Experiences of tlio First Woman MluUler
In tlie United States Theologi
cal Schools Oj > i > n to
Women.
Mre. Minnie Douglass Wilson.
That women are Intellectually the equals
ot men Is a fact that has been proved be
yond dispute. That they are entitled to
"equality before the law" Is not yet so well
proven.
The leaders of the woman suffrage move
ment In their' efforts to sustain their theory
have placed themselves on precarious ground
where they are liable to lose that which they
liavo labored for years to gain , that Is , the
good opinion of the world in general and of
th.e rejig'118 ' world In particular.
The venerable woman who today Is pub
llshlng a so-called Woman's Bible 1ms , In her
first article , shown such opposition to the ac
cepted doctrine of the church universal con
cerning the majesty of God , that she forfeits
all right to serious attention from any devout
minded person. Her chief argument Is based
upon an Inference that will not bear the slm
pie test of the rules of grammar , TJie Ideas
advanced are revolting to a mind that recalls
, _ 5 StatSl2l ? I our UlXl'V ' ? L9J" < L IVho did not
kay. "H ftould seeTu iiiofe rational to suppose , "
tmt who 3 U fay , speaking as one \\ltli au
thority , "That In heaven there Is neither
marrying nor giving In marriage. " The Idea
of a heavenly mothi-r to whom we should pray
Is nowhere set forth In the Scriptures , and ,
although a. large part of the ChrUtlan world
today address on whom they term the
Mother of God , yet they would declare Mrs ,
BUnton's argument fallacious , and with no
foundation In fact. The same weakness is
In the commentary on. the second
chapter of Genesis , her argument having no
foundation but the one of sand , "It Is fair to
Infer. " Souls require facts not Inferences
upon which to found beliefs. She who de
nounces the author of the Dock of Genesis
as a "wily writer" will alienate hosts of
thosj who might have been her friends In
this , which we hoped would be a veritable
search after truth.
Prof. M. J. Wade , speaking before the
World's Congress of Religions , touched what
In many cases la the keynote ot the .misery
which drive's women out Into the world to
crowd out men from their rightful employ
ments.
He emphasized "tho need of more stringent
laws securing the proper support of the wife
and the family. " Here Is the root from which
much evil springs. Let the wife and the
adult children have their due share , not an
exorbitant one , of the family Income , and
there will be fewer young women crowding
Into factories and places ot business , fewer
wives going out by the day , or leaving their
husbands entirely , that they may earn enough
to feed them and clothe them In a respectable
manner.
Woman's work in the home Is ot just as
much Importance as man's work outside of
the home , and of fully as much value to the
welfare of thefamily. . Just so long as a wife
Is mad * to feel that she Is merely a pensioner
on her husband's bounty Instead of a worker
entitled to Just wages there will be rebellion
In her heart and In the home. Just so long
as a daughter Is made to feel as If she were
guilty of a crime when she Is compelled to
ask for means to purchase necessary clothing
sa long will the daughters of well-to-do
parents leave their homes for lives of hard
labor to earn their dally bread and the sweet
liberty ot eating it in perfect Indepsndence.
The night Hon. William D. Gladstone Ii
quoted as saying that the only remedy for
the divorce laws now In existence Is the
making It a crime for either party to re
marry. He is right. He- founds his argument
on the teachings of Christ , and of His inter
pretation ot the laws of Moses that bear upon
this subject , and proves that marriage is a
contract which no law can annul. He shows
that it is only a small proportion of the In
nocent partners who ever desire to re-enter
tbo marriage bonds , and though these few
might hayi > tojuflcr what seems au Injustice ,
It would be no Injustice , only the sacrifice of
a few for the good of many , for the guilty
partners almost Invariably seek some other
Innocent life to wreck. Their being placed
under restraint would withhold them from In
creasing the sorrows of the world , There Is
much force In his statement that where
marriage is known to be a life contract , with
no possibility of divorce , men and women
will submit to the Inevitable and adapt them
selves to their surroundings ; even as In
Catholic marriages today many are living
comfortably and even happily who might ,
without the restraint placed upon them as
regards divorce , have separated long ago ,
but who with patience have striven to over
come difficulties until they have conquered
them. MINNIE DOUGLASS WILSON.
Vln Uoloroxnj Via Glojnsa.
Lord Jesus , Thou hast trodden once for all
The Via Dolorosa and for us !
No artist power , or minstrel gift , may tell
The cost to Thee of each unfaltering step.
When love that passeth knowledge led
Thee on ,
Faithful and true to God. nnd tnie to us.
And now , beloved Lord , Thou callest us
To follow Thee , and we will take Thy word
About Jhe faith which Thou hast marked
for us.
Narrow-minded it Is ! Who does not choose
The narrow track upon the mountain side.
With ever widening vew , and freshening
air.
And honeyed heather , rather than the road
With smoothest breadth of dust , and loss of
view.
Soiled blossoms not worth gathering , nnd
the nolso
Of wheels , Instead of silence of the hills ,
Or music of the waterfalls ? Oh , why
Should they misrepresent Thy words , nnd
make
"Narrow" synonymous with "very hard ? "
For Thou , Ulvlneft Wisdom , Thou hast said
Thy ways are ways of pleasantness , nnd all
Thy paths are peace ; and that the path of
him
Who wears Th'y perfect robe of righteous
ness
Is as the light that shlneth more and more
Unto the perfect day. And Thou hast given
An olden promise , rarely quoted now ,
liecause It Is too bright for our weak faith :
"If they obey and serve Him , they shall
ppend
Days In prosperity , and they shall spend
Their years In pleasures. " All because Thy
days
Were full of sorrow , and Thy lonely years
Were passed In grief's acquaintance all
tor us !
FRANCES RIDLEY
ii o.u.j.JT.V
So far as can be ascertained the first
woman to preach in America was Anne
Hutchlnson , who landed in Boston In 1C34 and
immediately began to promulgate her peculiar
doctrines. She won many converts and ex
erted a powerful Influence la the community.
Her followers _ made practical application of
her principles to the affairs of the day. Han-
croft says that her teaching Infused Its spirit
Into everything. It Interfered with the levy-
in of troops In luePequod war ; It Influenced
the respect shown to the magistrates , the dis
tribution of town lots , the assessment rates ,
and , in fact , most other things until she be
came very obnoxious to the authorities and
was banished from airfsiachusctts.
From this time women are occasionally
found -preaching the 'goipel , but without ec
cleastlcal recognition. Susanna , the mother
of the Wesleys , was by Dr. Clarke pro
nounced an "able divine. " To her has been
ascribed the honor of being In England "the
real founder of Methodism. " High authority
In this church also muntlons another woman ,
"Barbara Heck , the real founder of American
Methodism. " The limits of this article do
not permit details , nor even the mention of
names pertaining to 'thU ' early period.
A little later we find women among the rec
ognized preachers of the Hickslte Quakers
or Friends. Among them are many dis
tinguished names , but none more so than
that of Lucretla Mott. So tar ay the writer
has been able to ascertain the first woman
outsldo the sect of Friends to b regularly
authorized to preach by her church was Itev.
Lydla Sexton , who recently died In Seattle.
Wash , , at the advanced age of 96 years.
Mrs. Sexton's career was a most remarkable
one. The daughter ot a Baptist clergyman
named Casad , she was born In Hockport , N.
J. , April 12. 1799. Shs was three times mar
ried. Her first husband met his death by ac
cident a few days after the wedding and ( he
second lived but a short time. With the
third , to whom she was married In 1829 , she
lived more than fifty years , until his death ,
She began to preach publicly about 1842 and
was actively engaged In the work for over
fifty years. It was not until 1S51 that she
was regularly licensed as a preacher by
Joslah Turrell , presiding elder at the quar
terly Illinois conference of the United Breth
ren , of which church the had been for thirty
years a member. When past 70 years ot age
Governor Harvey of Kansas appointed her
prison chaplain of the state penltcntfary.
During her tem of office nearly 100 convicts
embraced the Christian faith. She was a
delegate to the national prison council In
1870 and a year or two later was chief among
those active In the relief of the distress
caused by successive failures of crops.
Her ministry was a notable success from
the first. Her forte was In revival work ,
and her converts during the first twenty or
thirty years of her regular ministry num
bered many thousands. In 1892 a Washing
ton paper said of Mrs. Sexton : "She still
frequently preaches and makes trips to sur
rounding towns and holds revivals. " Her
mental faculties were unimpaired to the last.
She took the liveliest Interest In the con
ference of women ministers of all denomina
tions assembled In connection with the
World's Parliament of Religions In Chicago
In 1893 , and wrote that but for her blindness
she would attend In person. As It was , she
sent a letter of sisterly greeting , full of In
spiration and wise counsel , to which the con
ference replied. Rev. Antoinette Brown
Blackwell was the first woman regularly
ordained according to the usages of the
modern church. She received ordination from
the Orthodox Congregational church In 1S53.
More than thirty years elapsed before the
ordination of Ilev. Louise S. Baker In Nan-
tucket. During the last decade , however , a
score or more of women have been ordained
In the Congregational church. Ten years
after the ordination of Mrs. Blackwell two
women were ordained by the Unlversallst
church , and at about the same time two by
the Adventlsts. Twenty years later still ,
the Unitarian church began to ordain women.
In recent years the movement has spread
rapidly , and few are aware of Its extent.
The first theological school to receive women
students was St. Lawrence University at
Canton , N. Y. The divinity school of thb
Boston University has been open to women
from the first , as has that of the new Uni
versity of Chicago , Tuft's college also grad
uates women from Its theological department.
Many other divinity schools , all of them of
high grade , offer their full privileges to
women. To one of the oldest and best of
them , Lombard University of Galesburg , III. ,
belongs the honor of being first to confer
upon a woman the degree of doctor ot di
vinity.
At least eighteen well known religious bodies
ies now ordain women as preachers. These
are , In addition to those above mentioned ,
the Baptist , Free Baptist , Christian ( not
Disciples ) , Dunkers , Evangelical Christian
Union , Friends , both Liberal and orthodox ,
Jewish , African Evangelical Methodist , Frco
Methodist , the Protebtant and the Wesleyan
Methodist churches , Salvation army and
United Brethren.
The number of ordained women aggregates
more than 300 , the majority of whom are
settled pastors. H Is safe to say that a
thousand more are licensed , or otherwise
recognized as preachers , in the various de
nominations , some ofhlch do not yet con
fer ordination upon women.
Of ordained women , the Christian church
has the largest number , the Unlversallst
church ranking second , and the Congrega
tional third.
In Chicago In 1893 was held the greatest
convocation ever assembled In the name of
religion on the face of the earth. In this
great parliament women stood upon the plat
form on equal terms with men. Eight wo
men ministers had a part In the program ,
and besides these there were present Julia
Ward Howe and Mrs. Ormlston Chant ,
women ordained of heaven , and needing no
vote of council or laying on of hands. Tjuly
the day has- come when the scripture Is ful
filled : "Your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy. "
AUGUSTA J. CHAPIN. D. D.
Frcncheu In I'lttsburr.
It was edifying to the new woman , as well
as to other people , to read of women In the
pulpit In conservative old PIttsburg Sunday ,
April 21. The International convention of the
Young Women's Christian association closed
Its session on that day , and In the evening
twenty-seven of the most prominent delegates
occupied the pulpits of as. many fashionable
churches. Among those which opened the
doors of their sanctuaries to the women were
the Union Baptist , the Third Presbyterian ,
First United Presbyterian. Union Mcthodla
Episcopal , the Puritan church , south side ,
and many otheri ot these and other denom
inations. Including the Reformed Presbyte
rian , German Lutheran nnd Protestant Epis
copal churches. Saya the Inter Ocean :
"These denominations do not allow women
to preach from their pulpits. To get around
the church law and extend the courtesies of
their pulpits to the dlitlngulshed ladles vis
iting , some ot the congregations had plat
forms erected In front of the pulpits , and
from these platforms the ladles addressed
large audiences. "
The new woman wonder * whether the pul
pit Is holler than auy otter part of a church
edifice dedicated to the- worship of GoiAri4
whether , as between the pulpit and a plat
form In front of It , there Is anything njoro
than a distinction without a dlfferenco , At
all events , it U clear that the people wish to
hear the woman's message , and the churcho.
even the most conservative of them , must
find a way of conforming to the popular d
mand. A. J. C.

RELIGIOUS REFLECTIONS
Various Opinions on Topics of Interest to
Ordinary People.
AMERICAN WOMEN IN THE PASTORAL MINISTRY
Experiences of the First Woman Minister
In the United States Theological Schools Open to
Women.
Mrs. Minnie Douglass Wilson.
That women are intellectually the equals
of men is a fact that has been proved beyond dispute. That they are entitled to
"equality before the law" is not yet so well
proven.
The leaders of the woman suffrage movement In their efforts to sustain their theory
have placed themselves on precarious ground
where they are liable to lose that which they
have labored for years to gain, that is, the
good opinion of the world in general and of
the religious world In particular.
The venerable woman who today is publishing a so-called Woman's Bible has, in her first article, shown such opposition to the accepted doctrine of the church universal concerning the majesty of God, that she forfeits all right to serious attention from any devout minded person. Her chief argument is based upon an inference that will not bear the simple test of the rules of grammar. The ideas advanced are revolting to a mind that recalls, "Who did not say, "Should see this more rational to suppose," and who would say, speaking as one with authority, "That in heaven there is neither marrying nor giving in marriage." The idea of a heavenly mother to whom we should pray is nowhere set forth in the Scriptures, and, although a large part of the Christian world today addresses on whom they term the Mother of God, yet they would declare Mrs. Bunton's argument fallacious, and with no foundation in fact. The same weakness is in the commentary on the second chapter of Genesis, her argument having no foundation but the one of sand, "It is fair to infer." Souls require facts not inferences upon which to found beliefs. She who denounces the author of the Book of Genesis as a "wily writer" will alienate hosts of those who might have been her friends in this, which we hoped would be a veritable search after truth.
Prof. M.J. Wade, speaking before the World's Congress of Religions, touched upon what in many cases is the keynote of the misery which drives women out into the world to crowd out men from their rightful employments.
He emphasized "the need of more stringent laws securing the proper support of the wife and the family." Here is the root from which much evil springs. Let the wife and the adult children have their due share, not an exorbitant one, of the family income, and there will be fewer young women crowding into factories and places of business, fewer wives going out by the day, or leaving their husbands entirely, that they may earn enough to feed them and clothe them in a respectable manner.
Woman's work in the home is of just as much importance as man's work outside of the home, and of fully as much value to the welfare of the family. Just so long as a wife is made to feel that she is merely a pensioner on her husband's bounty instead of a worker entitled to just wages there will be rebellion in her heart and in the home. Just so long as a daughter is made to feel as if she were guilty of a crime when she is compelled to ask for means to purchase necessary clothing, so long will the daughters of well-to-do parents leave their homes for lives of hard labor to earn their daily bread and the sweet liberty of eating it in perfect independence.
The night Hon. William D. Gladstone was quoted as saying that the only remedy for the divorce laws now in existence is the making it a crime for either party to re-marry. He is right. He founds his argument on the teachings of Christ, and of his interpretation of the laws of Moses that bear upon this subject, and proves that marriage is a contract which no law can annul. He shows that it is only a small proportion of the innocent partners who ever desire to re-enter the marriage bonds, and though these few might have to suffer what seems an injustice, it would be no injustice, only the sacrifice of a few for the good of many, for the guilty partners almost invariably seek some other innocent life to wreck. Their being placed under restraint would withhold them from increasing the sorrows of the world. There is much force in his statement that where marriage is known to be a life contract, with no possibility of divorce, men and women will submit to the inevitable and adapt themselves to their surroundings; even as in Catholic marriages today many are living comfortably and even happily who might, without the restraint placed upon them as regards divorce, have separated long ago, but who with patience have striven to overcome difficulties until they have conquered them. MINNIE DOUGLASS WILSON.
Via Dolorosa.
Lord Jesus, Thou hast trod once for all
The Via Dolorosa and for us!
No artist power, or minstrel gift, may tell
The cost to Thee of each unfaltering step.
When love that passeth knowledge led
Thee on,
Faithful and true to God, and true to us.
And now, beloved Lord, Thou callest us
To follow Thee, and we will take Thy word
About the faith which Thou hast marked
For us.
Narrow-minded it is! Who does not choose
The narrow track upon the mountain side.
With ever widening view, and freshening
air.
And honeyed heather, rather than the road
With smoothest breadth of dust, and loss of
view.
Soiled blossoms not worth gathering, and
the noise
Of wheels, instead of silence of the hills,
Or music of the waterfalls? Oh, why
Should they misrepresent Thy words, and
make
"Narrow" synonymous with "very hard?" For Thou, Vivid Wisdom, Thou hast said
Thy ways are ways of pleasantness, and all
Thy paths are peace; and that the path of
him
Who wears Thy perfect robe of righteousness
Is as the light that shineth more and more
Unto the perfect day. And Thou hast given
An olden promise, rarely quoted now,
Because It is too bright for our weak faith:
"If they obey and serve Him, they shall
Spend
Days in prosperity, and they shall spend
Their years in pleasures." All because Thy
days
Were full of sorrow, and Thy lonely years
Were passed in grief's acquaintance all
For us!
FRANCES RIDLEY

So far as can be ascertained the first
woman to preach in America was Anne
Hutchinson, who landed in Boston in 1634 and
immediately began to promulgate her peculiar
doctrines. She won many converts and exerted a powerful influence in the community.
Her followers made practical application of
her principles to the affairs of the day. Hanchett says that her teaching infused its spirit
Into everything. It interfered with the levy-
ing of troops in the Pequot war; It influenced
the respect shown to the magistrates, the distribution of town lots, the assessment rates,
and, in fact, most other things until she became very obnoxious to the authorities and
was banished from Massachusetts.
From this time women are occasionally
found preaching the gospel, but without ecclesiastical recognition. Susanna, the mother
of the Wesleys, was by Dr. Clarke pronounced an "able divine." To her has been
ascribed the honor of being in England "the real founder of Methodism." High authority
in this church also mentions another woman,
"Barbara Heck, the real founder of American
Methodism." The limits of this article do
not permit details, nor even the mention of
names pertaining to this early period.
A little later we find women among the recognized preachers of the Hicksite Quakers
or Friends. Among them are many distinguished names, but none more so than
that of Lucretia Mott. So far as the writer
has been able to ascertain the first woman
outside the sect of Friends to be regularly
authorized to preach by her church was Lydia Sexton, who recently died in Seattle,
Wash., at the advanced age of 96 years.
Mrs. Sexton's career was a most remarkable
one. The daughter of a Baptist clergyman
named Casad, she was born in Hopkinton, N.H.
J. April 12, 1799. She was three times married. Her first husband met his death by accident a few days after the wedding and her second lived but a short time. With the third, to whom she was married in 1829, she lived more than fifty years, until his death. She began to preach publicly about 1842 and was actively engaged in the work for over fifty years. It was not until 1851 that she was regularly licensed as a preacher by Josiah Turrell, presiding elder at the quarterly Illinois conference of the United Brethren, of which church she had been for thirty years a member. When past 70 years of age, Governor Harvey of Kansas appointed her prison chaplain of the state penitentiary. During her term of office, nearly 100 convicts embraced the Christian faith. She was a delegate to the national prison council in 1870 and a year or two later was chief among those active in the relief of the distress caused by successive failures of crops. Her ministry was a notable success from the first. Her forte was in revival work, and her converts during the first twenty or thirty years of her regular ministry numbered many thousands. In 1892 a Washington paper said of Mrs. Sexton: "She still frequently preaches and makes trips to surrounding towns and holds revivals." Her mental faculties were unimpaired to the last. She took the liveliest interest in the conference of women ministers of all denominations assembled in connection with the World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893, and wrote that but for her blindness, she would attend in person. As it was, she sent a letter of sisterly greeting, full of inspiration and wise counsel, to which the conference replied. Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell was the first woman regularly ordained according to the usages of the modern church. She received ordination from the Orthodox Congregational church in 1853. More than thirty years elapsed before the ordination of Rev. Louise S. Baker in Nantucket. During the last decade, however, a score or more of women have been ordained in the Congregational church. Ten years after the ordination of Mrs. Blackwell, two women were ordained by the Universalist church, and at about the same time two by the Adventists. Twenty years later still, the Unitarian church began to ordain women. In recent years the movement has spread rapidly, and few are aware of its extent. The first theological school to receive women students was St. Lawrence University at Canton, N.Y. The divinity school of the Boston University has been open to women from the first, as has that of the new University of Chicago, Tufts college also graduates women from its theological department. Many other divinity schools, all of them of high grade, offer their full privileges to women. To one of the oldest and best of them, Lombard University of Galesburg, Ill., belongs the honor of being first to confer upon a woman the degree of doctor of divinity.
At least eighteen well-known religious bodies now ordain women as preachers. These are, in addition to those above mentioned, the Baptist, Free Baptist, Christian (not Disciples), Dunkers, Evangelical Christian Union, Friends, both Liberal and orthodox, Jewish, African Evangelical Methodist, Free Methodist, Protestant and the Wesleyan Methodist churches, Salvation army and United Brethren.
The number of ordained women aggregates more than 300, the majority of whom are settled pastors. It is safe to say that a thousand more are licensed, or otherwise recognized as preachers, in the various denominations, some of which do not yet confer ordination upon women.
Of ordained women, the Christian church has the largest number, the Universalist church ranking second, and the Congregational third.
In Chicago in 1893 was held the greatest convocation ever assembled in the name of religion on the face of the earth. In this great parliament, women stood upon the platform on equal terms with men. Eight women ministers had a part in the program, and besides these there were present Julia Ward Howe and Mrs. Ormsby Chant, women ordained of heaven, and needing no vote of council or laying on of hands. Today, the day has come when the scripture is fulfilled: "Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy."
AUGUSTA J. CHAPIN, D.D.
French in Pittsburgh.
It was edifying to the new woman, as well as to other people, to read of women in the pulpit in conservative old Pittsburgh Sunday, April 21. The International convention of the Young Women's Christian association closed its session on that day, and in the evening twenty-seven of the most prominent delegates occupied the pulpits of as many fashionable churches. Among those which opened the doors of their sanctuaries to the women were the Union Baptist, the Third Presbyterian, First United Presbyterian, Union Methodist Episcopal, the Puritan church, south side, and many others of these and other denominations. Including the Reformed Presbyterian, German Lutheran and Protestant Episcopal churches. Says the Inter Ocean: "These denominations do not allow women to preach from their pulpits. To get around the church law and extend the courtesies of their pulpits to the distinguished ladies visiting, some of the congregations had platforms erected in front of the pulpits, and from these platforms the ladies addressed large audiences."
The new woman wonders whether the pulpit is holier than any other part of a church edifice dedicated to the worship of God; whether, as between the pulpit and a platform in front of it, there is anything more than a distinction without a difference. At any events, it is clear that the people wish to hear the woman's message, and the churches, even the most conservative of them, must find a way of conforming to the popular demand. A.J.C.
As gathering clouds over the blue,
Sometimes light, then darker hue;
By trials come, and press us sore,
And make us long and long for more
Of Truth's bright vision, which shall grow,
End unto the perfect day,
When all tears shall be wiped away,
And Borrow's clouds shall burst! When lot
Life, Truth and Love shall ever stream,
And reign throughout high heaven's extreme,
And man redeemed, exultant song,
Soul cloudless and eternal day!
The heart still yearns for greater power
Than meeting fancies of the hour;
The spirit burdened, ere begun,
The race that all on earth must run.
Oh, why the longings? Headlong out
Of man, in search of truth and light.
For things unseen to mortal sight,
If they are all involved in doubt?
We know the voice that speaks within *
The voice, that is Divine in Him;
Assures a rest from all life's ills,
A refuge that hath ever been.
All envy, malice, hatred, strife,
All selfishness, the bane of life;
Hunger and pain, and winter's cold blast.
Are fruits of evil not to last.
Yet, how we cling, and plan,
As this, the ultimate of man.
Are not the very thoughts that fan
The fainting soul, His great "I Am," *
Proclaiming immortality
And joy unbounded, when set free,
Unfettered through eternity,
The understanding given thee.
Of Truth and Love? And hope, awe-struck,
Wing'd through which true man has ever soared
The message that brings strength and cheer,
And sooths the evil we call Fear?
Then, lead us on, till mission o'er,
We'll stand triumphant evermore.
Hopes, yearnings, aspirations high,
All realize, without a sigh.
But see and know, as we are seen,
And known, as those whom Christ redeems,
And reach at last, through portals vernal,
By God's own way, the Life eternal.

ROCKING CHAIR REVERIES
Thoughts that Are Set a-Swinging by the
Motion of the Eockcr ,
LUCUBRATIONS OF THE WCMEN WHO ROCK
Bomo Ubiervntloni on the Different Types
of American Women The U'catcru
to UIri' * Motto-Whcn Yon Are
Getting Oct Tlicro.
The arl of sitting down , like many others ,
Find Us origin In leisure , and the Invention
of something especially adapted to develop
this art was a step In advance In the pro
gress of civilization of the rocking chair a
climax of human Ingenuity ,
This swayablo piece of turnlture beloligs
to the American woman by right of discov
ery , and to It and her the present nnd com
ing ages will ewe an Incalculable debt of
generosity. The rocking chair has been to
the American woman what the shrine of
oracle was to the ancient warrior. To It
she haa gone tor Inspiration In times of
perplexity and danger , nnd each rock be-
caino an Interrogation point , and with the
rhythmical soothing accents of Its vibrations
came the answers to the question that dis
turbed woman's peace of mind and set her
nt variance with herself and established
dogmas.
The contemplation of certain accepted
tenets used to give the rockers a sullen Jerky
motion , To servo man nnd glorify him for
ever was at ono time the categorical response
to what embraced the whole duty and chief
end of woman.
This ono-slded statement of affairs threw
the chair Into dreadful convulsions.
It was not until some genius of the sex
made the dulclfluous discovery , that In
human sc'enco ' as In mathematical , "The
things which are equal to the same thing
nre equal to each other" that the rocking
attained that even , magnificent swing , which
Is destined to beat time , like a metronome ,
to the inarch of future human events.
To the religious questions of the day and
the difficulties Involved by modern Isms
woman gives her earnest attention. But
notwithstanding her respect for what Is old
and tried and a natural bias toward ritual
and creed , she Is forced to these painful con
clusions : Christian characteristics are not
always most In evidence where religion Is
taken as a matter ot course , and Inquiry Is
condemned as Infidelity ; and that the Chris
tian cqdo of honor Is too often like the
TYprldllngs , singularly selt-rccognltlve.
Tlio literature of the day Is suggestive.
The love for the nude In literature ns well
ns In art Is growing upon us ; and what does
this growing taste betoken ? That depends.
It Is to bo feared sometimes It Is nothing
moro nor less than a hankering after sa
lacious mysteries. But more often , let us
hope , It Is an honest demand for the naked
truth. In cither case wo may as well ns
not accept the fiction of the French type
ns a means of grace , a means which amply
Justifies the end. We can congratulate our-
telves that behind each seductive romance
glistens the surgron's knife. If true to life
every attractive vice has Its concomitant
hell , and truly preaches the gospel that what
soever a man soweth , that will he also reap.
As to the Influence of realistic fiction on the
young , no one can bo so blind to the signs
ot the times as not to know this to bo an
ngo of Inquisitive nlnd precocious youth ; and
It Is no greai venture to guess that what
they can't find out by fair means they will
by foul.
The rocking chair Is nothing If not serious ,
but It considers It no condescension to dis
cuss the torment of torments or the fashion
of the "Tissue of Tissues , " as Carlyle whim
sically calls our clothes. Fashion ! Death
Itculf has not half Its tortures or Its terrors.
Willing or unwilling , we are all Its slaves.
Ten years ago what kind of a sensation
would a woman have made spinning along
our streets on a bicycle and In divided skirts ?
Presto ! It Is the fashion , nnd behold she Is
a thing for admiration and our envy. I
Half the charm of the actress Is due her
Ideal wardrobe. It makes no difference what
abnormity In style for sleeve or skirt prevails
elsewhere , on the stage the costumes of dif
ferent historical periods delight us and why
would they not off of It ?
The fashionable woman's wardrobe would
have a value that at present It does not
possess If she regarded herself from the ar-
tlsUa standpoint that the artist docs his fig
ure ' 6n the canvas. Imagine art collectors
handing over their Watteaus , their Joshua
Ileynolds and their Lo Bruns every spring
and fall for change of style to fomt\ art
modiste. But why rot ? Is It fair to estab
lish standards of beauty for certain arts
only. Who shall be that woman of superb
courage , that ono of undying fame who shall 1
Care to make It the fashion to ba unfashion
able ?
It has been unjustly said that woman
has no great Inventive genius. The
Invention ot the future shall be hers
and It shall do nothing less than revolutionize
eoclety. It will rival telegraphy In useful
ness. The phonograph in Ingenuity and the
modern photograph will fade besldo It Into
utter Insignificance. It shall bo the pho
tography of thought !
Then politicians must needs be honest ,
ministers pious. Judges just and all humanity
decent. It will be abreahtless moment when
wo turn our complex and curious lenses or
the hidden thought of the mind and tone !

then you have known by ( hat experience

weeks , lying flat upon your back In a little
California hotel bed , bolstered up by a halt
dozen little pillows all , by the way , made
with an eye to the ease and comfort ot the
traveling Llllputlan , should ho chance to
come that way. You have known what It Is
to be vlelted dally , and sometimes oftener ,
by the much learned throat specialist , whose
personal experience with' this dread disease
so dwarfs your own contorting pains as make
you wonder he has lived to tell the tale
and snatch you from that Paradise above by
his tremendous skill and courage.
You are n young woman , perhaps , and
readily recall your thoughts and observa
tions ot this devoted man , as alternately
coaxlngly and commandlngly large quantities
of raw salt pork find themselves sizzling and
shriveling on your redhot throat , there to bo
turned and returned until thoroughly cooked
and cured of all trlchnae a generous dona
tion later of your philanthropic landlady to
the meagre table of the Old Woman's Home
near by.
You have not been BO 111 for many years
and have quite forgotten the 'proverbial
tenderness and devotion of men of this pro
fession , and , now that you think of It , > ou
always did hate doctors , anyway. Suppose
you should many this man ? But that Is out
oC the question. More than likely he Is a
benedict already , though you , a comparative
stranger to the city and his history , might
otherwise Infer.
With that your brain In pleasing fancy
conjures up his better half. Could she bo
otherwise or less ? She would not ! But he
Is gone In the very midst of these reflections
and gallantly exclaims as he bows his
farewell to yourself and nurse , "Let no one
In today. She Is too great a beauty with her
swelled head and disheveled leeks to bo
seen by mortal eye. " With that the door
softly closes , and the nurse , observant of his
every whimsical command , turns the Key ,
replenishes the grate , and caressingly strok
ing the fevered brow , leaves you to yourself
and oblivion. No , not oblivion , for thoughts
are there , those pleasantcst of companions
and chattiest of creatures , playing nt leap
frog and somersault like little Brownies , al
most ralMng the cranium In their wild
steeplechase after each other.
For the hundredth tlmo Bacon's old quo
tation rushes through your mind , each time
with greater vehemence : "There Is nothing
great In the world but man , and nothing
great In man but mind. "
Perhaps that is an excuse for your feminine
brain to assume unwonted activity , and by
mental gymnastics rarely before exhibited
show him a thing or two If he wcro only
here to see ! Man's brain ! Ot course that
means woman's , too. A curious fashion , bye
the bye , started ages back , of giving man
credit for all things great and good In the
world , mentioning woman only with blame.
One would think that so advanced and
mighty an advocate of woman as Bacon , liv
ing In a more enlightened century , sur
rounded by court women of many rights
and possessions , might justly and easily
have wrenched from man this sole and ex
clusive ownership , and have given her credit
for a brain , as well ns he. More's the pity
he didn't , but went right on preaching In
the old accepted way that woman belongs to
tnaIs his fifth rib still , and always will
be , unless she finds It , or Its former place ,
and makes an end of him with her woman's
rights rapier.
Perhaps this accounts for Bacon's unpop
ularity among a certain set of women , who
absolutely refuse to credit him with the
Immortal works called Shakespeare.
Thoughts have such peculiar ways of trav
eling off from a given point on tangents and
right angles , losing themselves from sight
in regions most remote and misty , only to
return with troops of others , spinning , whirl
ing , after Infinite contortions , entanglements
and convolutions. Men say 'tis such an easy
thing to concentrate the mind upon one
woman many months together. Not so
with woman's mind. And that proves that
Bacon made a mistake when he classified
man's Intellect with woman's. They work
differently , and are utterly unlike. She fol
lows not the beaten track ot his adoring
thoughts for this ono sweet bit of flesh and
blood , but darts away to others quUe as fair ,
visiting In her rapid flight dlvlnest women
she has ever known or seen , admiring here ,
rejecting there , classifying and Idealizing ull
that Is sweetest , noblest , best In these her
lovely sisters. He , fondly sighing : "Not
from the whole wide world would I choose
thee , sweetheart , for thou art the whole wide
world to me , sweetheart , " as he admiringly
thinks of his New York bslle that resplend
ent creature on the lap of luxury born , culti
vated and refined In all that makes an out
ward show , "The glass of fashion , " the ex
ponent of Ward McAllister's fondest dreams
of woman from the New York grist. The
highest differentiated type of woman , In
outward expression and environment , and
mayhap , If Nature doubly blesses , "a thing
of beauty and a Joy forever" to the love-
blinded , clevorly-decclved man , but not to
the keen , observing woman , bent on dls-
covering motives and promptings of the
heart. She It Is probes deep and wisely , only
to flnd deceit , Insincerity , avarice , selfishness
and falsehood , swelled to such hideous pro
portions as to almost pcr above the surface
and the finery.
The New York woman Is "distingue" from
her characteristic gait and speech , to the
details of her every appointment and posses
sion , whether encountered In art gallery ex
hibits , theaters , balls , receptions or dinners.
Elegance Is stamped on all she wears and
uses , and wcro the heart true , the principle
right , what lovelier creature could be found
She Is never boisterous or offensive , rarely
loses her temper , and discreetly withholds
her enthusiastic applause or approbation
from anything that Is not strictly deserving
Tears are strangers to her aristocratic face
and hardship to her hands , whllo her hear
Is as cold and hardened as the brllllan
stones upon her elegant person.
She Is a politician , nay , a diplomat , a gen
eral , governing others and herself In the
subtlest , mightiest way. She ts rarely moody
always agreeable and entertaining to those
she likes and admires , and Inoffensively neg
ixtlve to those she does not fancy. She ma >
not bo scholarly , but thinks cleverly am
deeply on some subjects. Life Is too short
she argues , and engagements too pressing
for pedantic lore. Current topics and lates
novels are the mint for her small talk. On
of her striking- characteristics Is Intuition
and her analyt's of motives and actions I
unsurpassed by even her spectacle-eyed slste

L Pessimistic Mull Worthy ot n
Bllllt.
The other day I heard a gentleman telling
if some great business successes achieved
iy women In Omaha. Ho spoke In the hlgh-
ist terms of their keen Insight nnd safe
udgment. They deserved the praise , and
would not by ono word detract from that
vliich Is duo them. But , whllo listening to
ho conversation , there arose within mo a
vounded , Indignant feeling , not at the com
mendation these women received , but at the
mplled Inferiority of the true , sweet woman
who chooses the hlgbec part , the essential
woman-portion , and makes no attempt to
fill the man's place as well as her own.
The business woman , the professional
voman , the woman this , and the woman
hat , is In great danger ot becoming over
rated. In this army of women are many
pure , true , womanly women , but noble and
rue as they are , they are not the highest
: ypo of womanhood and should not receive
.he deepest homage and respect. True ,
.hero are many women compelled by force
of circumstances to assume the more active
part In the turmoil of life , who would wlll-
ngly remain In their homes were It possl-
ile. To these belongs all the praise be-
towed on their moro fortunate sisters.
But when wo compare the young men of
today with the young women we are struck
with another view of the much-discussed
noman question. Many of the young men
are fast "sporty , " ns they delight to bo
called their highest ambition being to se
cure rich wives or those who can support
them. They are unwilling to work with
: iatlent energy and a determined purpose
tor the desired success. They live entirely
in the present and care only for their per
sonal pleasure. They are not men , they
are mere creatures , olown about by every
wind , utterly unable to resist the slightest
temptation. The young woman , on the con
trary , Is standing Just within the threshhold
of the "Woman's Age. " Each day brings
to her ears knowledge of some new feat ac
complished by a sister ; some added oppor
tunity or power granted to women. She Is
eager and anxious to try her strength , to add
her mite , to feel that she , too , has done
something worthy of note. She possesses
an overwhelming desire to make the most
and best of herself , but the average young
man's deslro Is to slip through the world
with as little effort and as comfortably as
possible.
Here Is the great evil of today. The young
men do not have a realizing sense of the
vital necessity of their being men and not
mere rretenllous excuses. To use Carrie Lane
Chapman Calls' expression , there nro by far
too many "thousand-dollar women and ten-
cent men" to make an equal partnership as
was originally Intended possible. Honest ,
upright manhood Is fast becoming obsolete.
Si'ch ' pernicious publications as the "Young
Sport's Library , " on the cover of which ap
pears the photographs of young "sports , "
with the statement In largo type ; "The
young sports' album. Boys , send your photo
graphs to the Young Sports' Library and
bo Known as a young sport. It costs you
nothing. Send early ; first received , flrst
printed , " are Indications of the condition.
What kind of men and citizens can such
tiulnlng produce ? The tendency ot the
young men of today Is clearly seen by any
one taking the trouble to glance Into the
faces ot the youths who pass him In the
streets. Young women , seizing the reins with
so much ability , Instead of bringing con
tempt of self to their brothers , bring relief
Shrugging their shoulders complacently the
men patronizingly yield up the ribbons , con
tent to bo driven Instead ot to drive.
A woman's peculiar place a man cannot
fill. It has been clearly demonstrated that o
woman can successfully climb wherever man
can , but It Is equally clear that she was not
Intended for such work , since In so doing
she Is making the would-be "stronger sex"
utterly worthless and despicable.
God made us men and women , and He
fitted each for his peculiar share In the toll
of living. One Is not naturally better 01
more noble than the other. As nr
Individual , either man or woman , patiently
earnestly , purposefully doing the "dutj
lying nearest him" Is worthy of all respecl
and esteem. A woman many succeed falrl )
well In being both mother and father. A
man may In some measure perform the dutl-i
ot a mother , but It Is entirely Imposslbli
for either woman or man to faithfully dis
charge all the duties of both. "As the strlnt
unto the bow Is , so the woman to the man
useless each without the other. " The final sue
cumblng of Mrs. Burton Harrison's "Bacheloi
Maid" to the power of love was a glorious
failure , a failure of far more value than tin
highest biicceis , Would we had more younj
men worthy to benefit by such failure ! Foi
the unit cannot be perfect , symmetrical , un
less both halves arc equally developed am
sound.
Alt honor to all noble women and men , to ;
In all walks In lire , but highest honor , no
unmixed with reverence , be to the levin ;
woman who Is the center of the home , thi
tenner , wise , ten-sacrificing "homey" mother
who Is made possible by a noble man.

FREDERICKSBORC CASTLE
An Omaha Girl's Interesting Description of
a Danish Town ,
HUNDREDS OF YEARS THE HOME OF KINGS
Also n Much Frequented 1'tnco bjr TottrlsU
anil thu Lovely Castle nuti 1'arlc a
Kith riclit for Artists
unit Atiiittcuri.
Ono of the loveliest spots In Denmark , and ,
I truly believe , In the world , Is the castle
of Frcdcrlcksborg and Its surroundings. The
Danish scenery Is nevergrand and sublime ;
hero are no rocks , no mountains ; no great
rivers , but the- landscapes are marked by a
Ingular gc-ntleness , such as one never finds
n the United States. Take , for example ,
tie sound and the eastern coast of Zealand.
ns can Imagine nothing more peaceful than
his combination of the bright blue water
flashing softly against the low shore , the
ttlo sailboats borne gently along by the
Ight breeze , and the green ocast dotted
Ith white villas and cottages. And this
eacefulness characterizes the entire coun-
ry. As for Fredcrlcksborg , the little town
s every summer filled to overflowing with
ourists , whllo the air Is darkened by the
rtlsts that swarm about the lovely castle
nJ park.
The old castle of Frederlcksborg dates
'rom ' the sixteenth century. Frederick II
'ought ' the site in 15CO ot Herful Trolle , and
lommcnced the erection of the castle , but It
as not finished until Christian IV In 1602
ook up the work , anil , tearing down the
'Id ' building , completed In 1C20 a much moro
nagnlllcent structure In the style of the
Renaissance.
In the fifties Frcderlksborg was the favor-
to residence of Frederlk VII , who spent
nuch of his tlmo here , often making a short
rip hither with his friend and boon com-
lanlon , Carl XV of Sweden. Then the old
astlo was the scene of tnany festivities , for
ho Danish king was foiU of a good carouse
ncu In a while , though , In Justiceto him ,
be It said , ho never neglected his duties for
Is pleasures. But on the 17th of December ,
S59 , the main buildings , excepting the
: hurch , were almost entirely destroyed by
Ire , a source of great sorrow to the king.
Stories are still told of how , when they saw
ho red glow on the sky , the peoplo. came
rom all the country around to help , and
'ound the king wandering disconsolately
round the burning pile. The Danes , who
Oved Frederlk as perhaps never king was
loved before , hastened to collect money to
erect a new palace en the ruins of the old.
The result Is tl.e castle as It now stands , In
xactly the same outward form , and Inter
nally almost wholly restored.
slto moro picturesque and beautiful
could not have been chosen. From the
argest of the many small lakes scattered
over this region , built on three Islands con
nected by bridges with each other and the
mainland , rises "tho loveliest castle of the
north. " Along two sides of the lake ex-
tendn the town , on the third side rise the
crraces of the "Hunter's Hill" and the
'King's Garden , " while from the fourth
stretches the "Inclosure" or park , with Its
"nkcs and canals.
The palace Itself consists of a somewhat
Incgular assemblage of red brick buildings
The outer courtyard Is spacious , and Its chief
ornament Is a superb marble fountain In
the center , with bronze statues of Tritons
and Nereids , a very beeutlful statue pf the
" 3od of Waters crowning' the whole. The
'ountaln ns It now appears was restored
after the flro through the aid of old draw-
ugs , and Is a masterpiece of art , A bridge
eads from this courtyard Into the Inner
which Is surrounded on three sides by build
ings and flanked on the fourth by a wal
decorated with statues of the old Greek am
Roman gods , most of them minus the nose
The main part of the palace is now occu
pied by a historical museum , containing
Danish relics and curiosities dating back
many hundred years , beside an extensive
gallery of paintings , In which the famous
historical painter , Carl Bloch , Is well repre
sented. The collection Is said to be ex
ceptionally fine , but I have not yet seen It ,
owing to the Intense cold that prevails In
the vast , stone-floored halls. Summer Is the
tlmo to vjslt the museum ; then , the cool
ness Is delightful. The church , however , I
have seen , and that Is truly magnificent.
Like the rest of the castle , it is built in the
style ot the Renaissance , with high , pointed
windows and branching arches. The celling
especially Is beautiful , all In white and gold ,
with pink cherubs hovering around. The
pews and a part of the walls are of carved
wood , with funny glUcd figures of apostles ,
angels and dancing women in hant relief.
Among the attractions are a massive gold
altar-piece , representing scenes In the Ilto
of Christ , and a pulpit supported by silver
statues of the apostles. In this church many
of the Danish kings and queens have been
crowned.
It Is really a very picturesque place , sur
rounded , as it is , by water everywhere. The
main building arises abruptly from the lake ,
and canals wend In and out among the
others , through arches and under bridges.
Very effective are two of the foremost buildIngs -
Ings , low and unadorned , except by quaint ,
round turrets , and small , , square , many-
paned windows ; they are connected with
another of the Islands by a stone bridge ,
known as the "S" bridge , on account of Its
strange shape. On the middle Isle bits of
wild garden skirt the buildings , sloping down
to the water. The tall , slender towers , of
which the highest Is GTO feet , are graceful
and somewhat fantastic , ending In hugo ,
glide ! weather vanes.
The King's Garden Is laid out In the
French style , consisting of a series of ter
races and "ollees" overlooking the ] ake.
The wide walks are bordered by colossal box
hedges , fantastically clipped , whose an
tiquity ( they are many hundred years old ) Is
an excuse for their ugliness. Ono hedge
runs almost across the garden , forming a
compact , living parapet. The broad1 allies of
poplars and elms are delightful In summer
time , when the Interlacing branches almost
shut out the sunlight , but when the boughs
are bare , as now , the effect Is almost too
weird. On a level space up above the ter
races rises a slender granite column , ralsej
to the memory of Heventlow , the great
Danish statesman , who devoted his lite to
the task of giving his country a free consti
tution. From this place one looks over the
terraces and the castle , which , seen from
here , seems to rise from the velvety green ol
the Queen's Isle , a small green garden In
the water. South of the King's Garden Is the
Hunter'sIIIll , likewise a series of Irregular
terraces , but free and unconflnod , with the
beautiful Danish be-ech trees growing at will.
Now It Is winter , the beech -leaves He In
sodden heaps under the snow , and the boys
rush down the terraces on "ski , " but when
I first HAW the castle It was late autumn , and
I don't think I can ever forget It as I saw
it them. The red walls arose almost sternly
from the lake , clearly drawn against the
glowing , sunset sky , ( Jie shrubbery In the
wild bit of garden outlined In sharp sil
houette ; In the foreground the trees that
dipped their branches Info' the still water ; in
the background the houses , of the town , black
against the dazzling llght. And then the
bluish twilight came on , and softened the
sharp outlines , and lights twinkled In the
gray water. It was one ot the most beau
tiful pictures I ba\e cvpr Been.
But next to the castle itself the best part
of Fj Jorlksborg Is the Inclosure. This parli
la for the greater part level , extending from
the canals north ot thf castle to the open
country on one- side ami. a plno forest on the
othcv , separated from the King's Garden
by a wide public road. Hero are several
small lakes , an } the character of the whole
Is that of nature In Its'free state. Graveled
walks lead along tide of the lakes , In om
of which Is a tiny wooded Island , where a
summer house U built. ' On the bank of OIK
lake Is "Badstucu" ( the. V th house ) , a red'
brick pavllllDii In the ivaino style an tin
cart ) . The' rooms hero bate stone floors
checkered In hteck and white , and narrow
barrel window * , and onn ecti the Impre *
slon rather ot a prison than a plcisun
pavllllon. Through the windows one- sees
massive old tables , stiff , high-backed chairs ,
and queer looking benches. On one sldo of
the "badstuo" Is a small lake * , In slimmer
time the abodeof a flock of swans , In winter
the resort of the skaters ; on the other side
ono looks from the slight elevation down
through "allees" of chestnut , elm and beech ,
and across nn open space with hero and there
clumps of delicate young beech trees and
birches' . This part of the park has a certain
Indescribable air ot daintiness. The trees
nro mostly slender and graceful , the grass Is
long , and the canals are shaded by willows
and hemlock. Ono seems so far removed
from the rest of the world , the deep stillness
Is broken only now and then by the twitter
ot a bird , ono feels almost as It wandering In
an enchanted land. Now that the boughs are
all covered with snow and Ice. the whole
ooks Ilko a fairyland scene rather than a
modern park.
Of the "allees. " one Is especially note
worthy , bearing the naun of "The Alice of
Christian IV. " It consists of great , old
chestnuts and extends qulto a distance.
Following Its course one reaches the famous
"King's Stone , " largo and gray nnd mossy ,
with a seat rudely cut In Its surface. It Is
said that every evening , while Fredcrlcksborg
was being built , Christian IV sat on this
stone In the courtyard , paying out their
wages to his worklngmcn. As to how it
came to lieIn Us present place , the following
story goes. When the castle was finished ,
Christian wished to carry his seat to some
place that had struck his fancy , and , with
his own royal hands , ho took hold of one
sUe , whllo a peasant lifted the other. But
the stone was heavy , and when they had
borne It some distance It fell from their
grasp. "Well , " said the king , "let It stay
there , then ! " And there It has lain undls-
turbeJ through the centuries. We Ameri
can's are so used to everything being brand
new that It seemed very strange to mo to bo
sitting now in same place where the Danish
king , dead centuries ago , counted out his
laborer's money ,
There are few things In the world so beau
tiful as a Danish beech wood. We of the
western prairies miss a great deal In this
tree. And hero the beeches do not grow
singly ; no , there are forests upon forests
composed all of this ono tree. As Nebraskans
speak of their corn fields , so the Danes
speak of their beech woods , only a hundred
times moro lovingly and enthusiastically ,
ani the bcechen bough has come to be almost
sacred as the national emblem. The Danes
love their beech woods , and at Whitsuntide ,
when the leaves are out , there Is a regular
pllgrimaga to the forests for young branches ,
\\lth which the homo Is decorated , to tell
that summer has come. Ono part of the
Inclosuro at Frederlksborg consists of n
beech grove. The straight , even trunk , ot a
silvery gray , with splashes of fine green
moss , and the regular branches , with their
delicate , light leaves , make a single tree
an object of beauty. Then , think how lovely
must be a whole grove of beeches ! There
Is no undergrowth of shrubbery , but a thick
carpet of moss and dry leaves , and the
pleasant crackle of the beech nuts under
ono's tread Is the only sound heard. In
spring the ground ts literally hidden under a
dense growth otlolcts , anemones and but
tercups.
The town of Frederlksborg Is very pretty ;
especially do I udmlro the roofs , of which
ono cannot get tired. The streets curve
now this way , now that. All the low-
brick houses are built with the side , and
not the gable , fronting the street , and no
two of the many roofs are alike , Ono Is very
high , the peaked gable rising above the
neighboring roof , with two funny , narrow
dormer windows 'way up near the chimney ;
the next Is rather low , with one wldo win
dow , big enough for a small shop. There
are high roofs and low roofs , big
windows and little windows , and no
windows at all. And of all these- roofs no
two seem to bo on the same level. It lend ?
a very quaint effect to the street , toward
which the varieties of chimneys and weather
vanes also help. The garden of every house
Instead of being In front , as Is usHal In the
United States , Is at the back or sldo of the
house , and one does not have to pass through
It to reach the front door , as there Is one
where the house touches upon the street or
driveway , and another opening Into the gar
den. The "back yard" Is enclosed by a
wall or high board fence. Of course , there
are exceptions , but this Is the rule. It Is
pot so pretty , but gives greater privacy and
seclusion , which the Danes value highly.
Hero ono's private life Is held sacred , and
any violation Is strongly resented. There Is
no "society column" In the Sunday papers ,
as articles about the wives of famous men
and millionaire's children. As for the gar
dens , they are Inclosed by hedges , wails , or
high board fences. I must say that I like
this love of privacy It makes the home
seem more sacred , moro ono's own.
There Is a boys' school In Frcderlksborg
which gets Its bhare of renown from the
fact that Madvig , the world-famous Latin
scholar , was ono of Its pupils. The school
was established by Christian IV , and has
through all these years been endowed with
tnany legacies , royal as well as private. The
boys there are very proud of their famous
fellow pupil , and tell mo stories of how
Madvig translated novels Into Latin and
made rules for his teachers to follow.
Not far from Frederlksborg Is Lake Es
rom , on whoso bank one can still see ruins
of the great , rich , monastery , whose fat
monks ruled for many centuries over the
neighboring country. In the Inn at the vil
lage of Esrom Is a double door of massive
carved oak , which has been taken from the
old cloister. On the opposite sldo rise
among the trees the white turrets of Fred
erlksborg , the summer residence of the king
ot Denmark , which has lately been an object
of considerable Interest , owing to the lovely
Czar Alexander III , bore to the lovely
castle. Here , the czar spent nt least a few
weeka every summer together with the
czarina , who Is a daughter of the Danish
king , ani many are the anecdotes the people
ple around here tell of the big , strong czar.
Esrom Is quite a large lake , and Its shores
are clad with forests. The road thereto leads
now through dark plno woods , now through
groves of beeches. Here and there , towering
above the other trees , one sees the straight ,
slender trunk ot an. old pine , not unlike a
huge telegraph pole , naked , except for the
few shaggy branches at the very top. From
the hills around the lake ono has a flno view
over the undulating country , and from one
part ot the road one can look quite across
the sound to the coast of Sweden.
On the way from Frederlksborg to Esrom
ono passes a little olii stone church , which ,
though no history clings to It , catches the
cyj by Its plcturf-squeness. It Is In the vil
lage of Niddebo , a quaint little place , with
some houses painted pink and others covered
to the chimneys with Ivy. The church lies
In the midst of the graveyard , a wild little
spot , overgrown with grass and brambles ,
and Is built of rough blocks of gray stone ,
with a queer , peaked steeple at ono end and
for windows a few narrow silts under the
cave. ! . It Is the oddest , prettiest sight
imaginable.
And of spots like this there are many In
the north of Zealand. The humble little
farm houses , thatched with straw , with
their small , bleared windows , and the
cracked walls leaning to one side ; the
twisted , wind-blown willows that bend over
the tiny ponds sunk In the middle of the
fields ; the wind mills here and there on thu
hills ; the quiet , peaceful graveyards sur
rounding the churches , with the tile-roofed
steeples , where J.he stork builds his nest ;
all these help to make a fit setting for the
(1cm of the North , iho beautiful Frederlks-

And now I must say n few words to the

Although there nro some children who are

herefore , bo our duty ns parents and teach-

In the glow of a Kentucky tv'lllght a

out of a- small town. Just In front of us
was an old gray-bearded d rkjy , going home
from his work. Suddenly he stopped , looked
intently down at something' In the white dust ,
and as wo came up , he Rtoopsd and picked

Yes , the superstition among the negroes of
the south Is both amusing and pitiful. On a
dark night they cannot be Induced to pass a
"burying ground , " and a house in which a
negro has died can seldom bo rented to other
negroes ; they can tell horrible stories ol
what they have seen and heard. When a

There Is an ancient negro living In Barren
county , Kentucky , who once belonged to the
Bailey family , and at the close of the war
took the name of William Bailey. He Is
moro than S0 | years old , but continues to
practice his magic among the "coons , " JUMI
as he did during slave times. He places a
ball of hair on a flre , sprinkles sulphur over
the hair and bends over the flames , mutterIng -
Ing some nonsensical words. When the
negroes see these proceedings they nre or

In a town In southern Kentucky nn amus
ing trial Is now going on. The charge
against the defendant Is obtaining money
under false pretenses. He Is a large , wel
built negro , about 40 years old and namec
Bcb. He was never known to do a day's
hard labor , nor can ho call a dollar his
own , yet , like many others of his color , he
lives as well as those who work dally. Ii
the same town lives an honest , hard-wsrklng
negro woman. Bob knew that "Aun
Marthy" was very superstitious and In this
ho saw an opportunity to make money. So
he went to her and told her that he knew
an old darkey who hated her and who was
making preparations to "conjure" her. Ant
he also told her that he was the only one
who posseesed the power to break this spel
and that ho would do so for $2 per week
unt Marthy was much alarmed and readily
premised the required amount , glad to have
escaped the clutches o fthe conjurer. The
poor woman tolled all the harder and workoc

After this deception had gone on for a

ROCKING CHAIR REVERIES
Thoughts that Are Set in Motion by the Movement of the Rocker,
LUCUBRATIONS OF THE WOMEN WHO ROCK
Several Observations on the Different Types
of American Women The Great Cure
to Urrings * Motto: When You Are
Getting Old There.
The art of sitting down, like many others,
Finds Its origin in leisure, and the invention
of something especially adapted to develop
this art was a step in advance in the progress of civilization—the rocking chair a
climax of human ingenuity.
This swayable piece of furniture belongs
to the American woman by right of discovery, and to her and her the present and coming ages will owe an incalculable debt of generosity. The rocking chair has been to the American woman what the shrine of the oracle was to the ancient warrior. To it she has gone for inspiration in times of perplexity and danger, and each rock became an interrogation point, and with the rhythmical soothing accents of its vibrations came the answers to the question that disturbed woman's peace of mind and set her at variance with herself and established dogmas.
The contemplation of certain accepted tenets used to give the rockers a sullen jerky motion, To serve man and glorify him forever was at one time the categorical response
to what embraced the whole duty and chief end of woman.
This one-sided statement of affairs threw the chair into dreadful convulsions.
It was not until some genius of the sex made the delicious discovery, that in human science as in mathematics, "The things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other" that the rocking attained that even, magnificent swing, which is destined to beat time, like a metronome, to the march of future human events.
To the religious questions of the day and the difficulties involved by modern isms woman gives her earnest attention. But notwithstanding her respect for what is old and tried and a natural bias toward ritual and creed, she is forced to these painful conclusions: Christian characteristics are not always most in evidence where religion is taken as a matter of course, and inquiry is condemned as infidelity; and that the Christian code of honor is too often like the tyrannizing, singularly self-recognitive.
The literature of the day is suggestive. The love for the nude in literature as well as in art is growing upon us; and what does this growing taste betoken? That depends. It is to be feared sometimes it is nothing
more nor less than a hankering after salacious mysteries. But more often, let us hope, it is an honest demand for the naked truth. In either case we may as well not accept the fiction of the French type
as a means of grace, a means which amply justifies the end. We can congratulate ourselves that behind each seductive romance glistens the surgeon's knife. If true to life every attractive vice has its concomitant hell, and truly preaches the gospel that whatsoever a man sows, that will he also reap.
As to the influence of realistic fiction on the young, no one can be so blind to the signs of the times as not to know this to be an agent of inquisitive mind and precocious youth; and it is no great venture to guess that what they can't find out by fair means they will by foul.
The rocking chair is nothing if not serious, but it considers it no condescension to discuss the torment of torments or the fashion of the "Tissue of Tissues," as Carlyle whimsically calls our clothes. Fashion! Death itself has not half its tortures or its terrors.
Willing or unwilling, we are all its slaves. Ten years ago what kind of a sensation would a woman have made spinning along our streets on a bicycle and in divided skirts?
Presto! It is the fashion, and behold she is
a thing for admiration and our envy. Half the charm of the actress is due to her ideal wardrobe. It makes no difference what abnormality in style for sleeve or skirt prevails elsewhere, on the stage the costumes of different historical periods delight us and why would they not off of it?
The fashionable woman's wardrobe would have a value that it does not possess if she regarded herself from the artistic standpoint that the artist does his figure on the canvas. Imagine art collectors handing over their Watteaus, their Joshua Reynolds and their Lodovico Bruns every spring and fall for a change of style to their art modiste. But why not? Is it fair to establish standards of beauty for certain arts only? Who shall be that woman of superb courage, that one of undying fame who shall dare to make it the fashion to be unfashionable?
It has been unjustly said that woman has no great inventive genius. The invention of the future shall be hers and it shall do nothing less than revolutionize society. It will rival telegraphy in usefulness. The phonograph in ingenuity and the modern photograph will fade beside it into utter insignificance. It shall be the photography of thought!
Then politicians must needs be honest, ministers pious, judges just and all humanity decent. It will be breathless moments when we turn our complex and curious lenses on the hidden thoughts of the mind and tone the button that embodies thought in form.
Will envy, malice and revenge be always in the form of woman, and vanity, weakness and fault in the shape of man?
There will doubtless be surprises at the size, form and color of the thoughts of those we think we know the best, and maybe where we least expect it, thoughts will be most strong and fair. LUELLA C. MARTIN.
A YOUNG HUMAN INVENTOR.
This is the busiest world I was ever in
Though though transmigrationists tell me my soul
Previous to its imprisonment in this feminine body,
May have dilated itself in the port of proportions of a man of another, busy
World or planet. They further tell me that
While in his noble form my soul was sorely tried and tempted by besetting sins,
Until by prayers and fastings it overcame, and a death was rewarded with this, its present form. And now my soul must battle still
Though less tormented, until dissolution
When it will take the form of a beautiful angel. Man, woman, angel! "Arise, my soul, arise!"
They say "woman will always have the last word." Not so in this case. I'd rather be the angel, I think. Perhaps I will be.
Was mistaken for one once.
Alas! When may I don my feathery wings and soar away from Nebraska winds
Spring dressmaking, and bliss to contemplate this feminine body, and all the thoughts it thinks about! Or is it the soul that thinks? It that be true, how strange
Cannot recall my male thoughts over Jupiter or Saturn. Mayhap my nervous system had a shock a-falling down to earth
And when recovered who knows how knowledgeable a soul I may possess!
It always seemed unfair that I should have begun at A when my manly knowledge is self-gotten
And my feminine soul will claim all credit for,
Its fine-spun theories up to date.
That which assails my soul just now is the housecleaning of its thoughts. They are all out on the line of investigation and research in the field of woman, while memory and imagination take turns in paddling their tree from dust.
Do you ever have an acute attack of old-fashioned quinsy, commencing with pain in your back and extremity bones, and like an evil spirit possessing your very blood, gorging the veins and arteries of your throat; inducing neck cuts limiting all communication from the heart to the head with the tongue and silent lips? Like that, parched and swollen red, pathetically calling for cooling drinks, which never can pass their fevered portals for the tightly-locked jaw, which only the doctor's deft forefinger can force apart, as dexterously he ascertains if it will "break" or "scatter." Yes? Well, then you have known by that experience what it is to do without food for two long weeks, lying flat upon your back in a little California hotel bed, bolstered up by a half dozen little pillows all, by the way, made with an eye to the ease and comfort of the traveling Englishman, should he chance to come that way. You have known what it is to be visited daily, and sometimes oftener, by the much-learned throat specialist, whose personal experience with this dread disease so dwarfs your own contorting pains as to make you wonder he has lived to tell the tale and snatch you from that Paradise above by his tremendous skill and courage.
You are a young woman, perhaps, and readily recall your thoughts and observations of this devoted man, as alternately coaxingly and commanding large quantities of raw salt pork find themselves sizzling and shrinking on your red-hot throat, there to be turned and returned until thoroughly cooked and cured of all trichinae. A generous donation later of your philanthropic landlady to the meager table of the Old Woman's Home near by.
You have not been so ill for many years and have quite forgotten the proverbial tenderness and devotion of men of this profession, and, now that you think of it, you always did hate doctors, anyway. Suppose you should many this man? But that is out of the question. More than likely he is a widower already, though you, a comparative stranger to the city and his history, might otherwise infer.
With that, your brain in pleasing fancy conjures up his better half. Could she be otherwise or less? She would not! But he is gone in the very midst of these reflections and gallantly exclaims as he bows his farewell to yourself and nurse, "Let no one in today. She is too great a beauty with her swelled head and disheveled locks to be seen by mortal eye." With that, the door softly closes, and the nurse, observant of his every whimsical command, turns the key, replenishes the grate, and caressingly stroking the fevered brow, leaves you to yourself and oblivion. No, not oblivion, for thoughts are there, those pleasantest of companions and chattiest of creatures, playing at leapfrog and somersaults like little Brownies, almost raising the cranium in their wild steeplechase after each other.
For the hundredth time Bacon's old quotation rushes through your mind, each time with greater vehemence: "There is nothing great in the world but man, and nothing great in man but mind."
Perhaps that is an excuse for your feminine brain to assume unwonted activity, and by mental gymnastics rarely before exhibited, show him a thing or two if he were only here to see! Man's brain! Of course, that means woman's, too. A curious fashion, by the way, started ages back, of giving man credit for all things great and good in the world, mentioning woman only with blame. One would think that so advanced and mighty an advocate of woman as Bacon, living in a more enlightened century, surrounded by court women of many rights and possessions, might justly and easily have wrenched from man this sole and exclusive ownership, and have given her credit for a brain, as well as he. More's the pity he didn't, but went right on preaching in the old accepted way that woman belongs to the male's fifth rib still, and always will be, unless she finds it, or its former place, and makes an end of him with her woman's rights rapier.
Perhaps this accounts for Bacon's unpopularity among a certain set of women, who absolutely refuse to credit him with the immortal works called Shakespeare.
Thoughts have such peculiar ways of traveling off from a given point on tangents and right angles, losing themselves from sight in regions most remote and misty, only to return with troops of others, spinning, whirling, after infinite contortions, entanglements and convolutions. Men say 'tis such an easy thing to concentrate the mind upon one woman many months together. Not so with woman's mind. And that proves that Bacon made a mistake when he classified man's intellect with woman's. They work differently, and are utterly unlike. She follows not the beaten track of his adoring thoughts for this one sweet bit of flesh and blood, but darts away to others quite as fair, visiting in her rapid flight divinest women she has ever known or seen, admiring here, rejecting there, classifying and idealizing all that is sweetest, noblest, best in these her lovely sisters. He, fondly sighing: "Not from the whole wide world would I choose thee, sweetheart, for thou art the whole wide world to me, sweetheart," as he admiringly thinks of his New York beauty that resplendent creature on the lap of luxury born, cultivated and refined in all that makes an outward show, "The glass of fashion," the exponent of Ward McAllister's fondest dreams of woman from the New York elite. The highest differentiated type of woman, in outward expression and environment, and mayhap, if Nature doubly blesses, "a thing of beauty and a joy forever" to the love-blinded, cleverly-deceived man, but not to the keen, observing woman, bent on discovering motives and promptings of the heart. She it is probes deep and wisely, only to find deceit, insincerity, avarice, selfishness, and falsehood, swelled to such hideous proportions as to almost pierce above the surface and the finery.
The New York woman is "distingué" from her characteristic gait and speech, to the details of her every appointment and possession, whether encountered in art gallery exhibits, theaters, balls, receptions or dinners. Elegance is stamped on all she wears and uses, and were the heart true, the principle right, what lovelier creature could be found? She is never boisterous or offensive, rarely loses her temper, and discreetly withholds her enthusiastic applause or approbation from anything that is not strictly deserving. Tears are strangers to her aristocratic face and hardship to her hands, while her heart is as cold and hardened as the brilliant stones upon her elegant person.
She is a politician, nay, a diplomat, a general, governing others and herself in the subtlest, mightiest way. She is rarely moody, always agreeable and entertaining to those she likes and admires, and inoffensively negative to those she does not fancy. She may not be scholarly, but thinks cleverly and deeply on some subjects. Life is too short, she argues, and engagements too pressing for pedantic lore. Current topics and late novels are the mint for her small talk. One of her striking characteristics is intuition, and her analyses of motives and actions are unsurpassed by even her spectacle-eyed sister Boston, for it is deep, quick, and rarely misses the mark. She may have a conscience stowed away in her human anatomy; if so, one would sooner look for it somewhere about the waist, it is so small.
In her love affairs "God Almighty made her to match the men," and just then he was fashioning clever people.
It is not from her ranks the new woman
Is coming, with her bloomers, silk hat and cane. One could more easily imagine the new type incubating in more congenial surroundings, say the western plains, or independent Boston. No, the New York woman
Is well pleased with herself and her surroundings. Inga. She wishes nothing otherwise, but the men, particularly their pocketbooks, which might be a deal sight fatter to suit her fastidious tastes. She judges others as she is judged, by outward appearances, and surely, eclectic clothes make the man and feathers the bird, New York must justly boast of the queen of American women.
This self-satisfied, resplendent creature,
however, is infinitely inferior to her whimsical, odd-fashioned Boston sister, as far as character and principle are concerned. The Boston woman is not to be airily dismissed by her New York neighbor, after a critical survey with a skeleton-framed lorgnette. She far surpasses the autocratic Gothamite
In intrinsic worth, even if she does wear her umbrella skirt one inch, too short for regular regulation cut and carries herself like a town pummel handle.
The Boston woman is not as cold and indifferent as she appears, and, unlike the scoffer, acknowledges and compliments the good thing in woman when she sees it.
"Knowledge is power" with her, and at struse tracts on the vivisection of the brain would call forth more extravagant praise and adoration than even the most stunning Felix or Worth gown. She abounds in good works and is noted the world over for independence of thought and action. God bless and preserve her. She is too good to die young. Perhaps that is the reason why many spinster centenarians boast their residence in Boston.
And now the memory of some dear, delightful friend carries you back toward the setting sun, stopping here and there to note the different types of "dear, delightful woman."
The western girl and woman, who would not love and admire her for her intrinsic worth, even though, like the diamond in the rough, she needs a little polish before offering herself for comparison with her New York sister gem? She may possess many more carats, but the world will never say so until her dazzling beauty and superior qualities are displayed. She is a healthy, unrestrained,
independent creature, full of life and activity and blessed with loads of common sense and good temper. Her intentions are the best, and if she does occasionally give your sense of propriety a little jog, it's not worth mentioning, for a forgiving and loving heart prompts all her actions.
Infinite possibilities are before her, and if she does not bring a good market price it is because she prefers to grow up unfettered as she is than prune herself for eastern shows or conservatories.
The New York woman, with worldly-wise looks, proclaims her policy thus: "With all your getting, get money," and her Boston sister replies: "Oh, no; you quite misquote; 'tis thus the proverb runs: 'With all your getting, get understanding,' " while the energetic western girl characteristically exclaims to both: "With all your getting, 'get there!' " CARRIE MAUDE PENNOCK.
The lazy sunshine of the spring-
Is softly drifting by,
While toward the still past hastening
The laden hours fly.
For time and sense must pass away
As earthly beauties fade,
And night shuts out the fairest day
As sunshine sinks in shade.
But moral souls are not born to die;
They change their outward form;
We hear sin's expiating cry
In every wailing storm.
Within this lily's creamy cup
The spirit of a queen
Sacrifices a life she offered up
Despair and pride between.
This stately native of the Nile
Brings unto earth again
The wealth of Cleopatra's pile,
Now purified by pain.
Beneath this viper's royal dress
I see a woman's heart;
She knew not peace nor happiness
But bravely bore her part.
I know her thoughts reanimate
This subtle, sweet perfume;
Though Justice, though she tarry late,
Brings Borrow into bloom.
To, dear, in years that are to come
Some flower at your feet,
Though lips of mine are cold and dumb,
Will my devotion speak.
BELLVILLE GUIDES.
This day: HIGHLY noteworthy:
A pessimistic mull worthy of a
billion.
The other day I heard a gentleman telling
of some great business successes achieved
by women in Omaha. He spoke in the highest
terms of their keen insight and safe judgment. They deserved the praise, and
would not by one word detract from that
which is due them. But, while listening to
the conversation, there arose within me a
wounded, indignant feeling, not at the commendation these women received, but at the
implied inferiority of the true, sweet woman
who chooses the highest part, the essential
woman-portion, and makes no attempt to
fill the man's place as well as her own.
The business woman, the professional
woman, the woman this, and the woman
that, is in great danger of becoming over
rated. In this army of women are many
pure, true, womanly women, but noble and
true as they are, they are not the highest
type of womanhood and should not receive
the deepest homage and respect. True,
there are many women compelled by force
of circumstances to assume the more active
part in the turmoil of life, who would willingly remain in their homes were it possible. To these belongs all the praise heaped on their more fortunate sisters.
But when we compare the young men of
today with the young women we are struck
with another view of the much-discussed
woman question. Many of the young men
are fast "sporty," as they delight to be
called, their highest ambition being to secure rich wives or those who can support
them. They are unwilling to work with
patient energy and a determined purpose
for the desired success. They live entirely
in the present and care only for their personal pleasure. They are not men, they
are mere creatures, followers of every
wind, utterly unable to resist the slightest
temptation. The young woman, on the contrary, is standing just within the threshold
of the "Woman's Age." Each day brings
to her ears knowledge of some new feat
accomplished by a sister; some added opportunity or power granted to women. She is
eager and anxious to try her strength, to add
her mite, to feel that she, too, has done
something worthy of note. She possesses
an overwhelming desire to make the most
and best of herself, but the average young
man's desire is to slip through the world
with as little effort and as comfortably as
possible.
Here is the great evil of today. The young
men do not have a realizing sense of the
vital necessity of their being men and not
mere creatures. To use Carrie Lane Chapman Catt's expression, there are by far
too many "thousand-dollar women and ten-cent men" to make an equal partnership as
was originally intended possible. Honest,
upright manhood is fast becoming obsolete.
Such pernicious publications as the "Young
Sports Library," on the cover of which appears the photographs of young "sports,"
with the statement in large type: "The
young sports' album. Boys, send your photographs to the Young Sports' Library and
be known as a young sport. It costs you
nothing. Send early; first received, first
printed," are indications of the condition.
What kind of men and citizens can such
training produce? The tendency of the
young men of today is clearly seen by anyone
taking the trouble to glance into the
faces of the youths who pass him in the
streets. Young women, seizing the reins with
so much ability, instead of bringing contempt of self to their brothers, bring relief.
Shrugging their shoulders complacently, the
men patronizingly yield up the ribbons, content to be driven instead of to drive.
A woman's peculiar place a man cannot fill. It has been clearly demonstrated that a woman can successfully climb wherever a man can, but it is equally clear that she was not intended for such work, since in doing so she is making the would-be "stronger sex" utterly worthless and despicable.
God made us men and women, and He fitted each for his peculiar share in the toll of living. One is not naturally better or more noble than the other. As an individual, either man or woman, patiently, earnestly, purposefully doing the "duty lying nearest him" is worthy of all respect and esteem. A woman may succeed fairly well in being both mother and father. A man may, in some measure, perform the duty of a mother, but it is entirely impossible for either woman or man to faithfully discharge all the duties of both. "As the string unto the bow is, so the woman to the man, useless each without the other." The final succumbing of Mrs. Burton Harrison's "Bachelors' Maid" to the power of love was a glorious failure, a failure of far more value than the highest victories. Would we had more young men worthy to benefit by such failure! For the unit cannot be perfect, symmetrical, unless both halves are equally developed and sound.
All honor to all noble women and men, to whom all walks in life bring honor, but highest honor, no unmixed with reverence, be to the sweet, wise, self-sacrificing "homey" mother who is made possible by a noble man.

We overheard the exquisitely young dude remark, after surveying himself from top to toe, "Whatever it is, it's right." FREDERICKSBORG CASTLE
An Omaha Girl's Interesting Description of a Danish Town,
HUNDREDS OF YEARS THE HOME OF KINGS
Also a Much Frequented Place by Tourists and the Lovely Castle near by a
Keith right for Artists and Art Lovers.
One of the loveliest spots in Denmark, and, I truly believe, in the world, is the castle of Frederiksborg and its surroundings. The Danish scenery is never grand and sublime; here are no rocks, no mountains; no great rivers, but the landscapes are marked by a singular gentleness, such as one never finds in the United States. Take, for example, the sound and the eastern coast of Zealand. One can imagine nothing more peaceful than this combination of the bright blue water flashing softly against the low shore, the silver sailboats borne gently along by the light breeze, and the green coast dotted with white villas and cottages. And this peacefulness characterizes the entire country.
As for Frederiksborg, the little town is every summer filled to overflowing with tourists, while the air is darkened by the artists that swarm about the lovely castle and park.
The old castle of Frederiksborg dates from the sixteenth century. Frederick II bought the site in 1580 from Herluf Trolle, and commenced the erection of the castle, but it was not finished until Christian IV in 1602 took up the work, and, tearing down the old building, completed in 1620 a much more magnificent structure in the style of the Renaissance.
In the fifties Frederiksborg was the favorite residence of Frederik VII, who spent much of his time here, often making a short trip hither with his friend and boon companion, Carl XV of Sweden. Then the old castle was the scene of many festivities, for the Danish king was fond of a good carouse now and then, though, it is said, he never neglected his duties for his pleasures. But on the 17th of December, 1859, the main buildings, excepting the church, were almost entirely destroyed by fire, a source of great sorrow to the king.
Stories are still told of how, when they saw the red glow on the sky, the people came from all the country around to help, and found the king wandering disconsolately round the burning pile. The Danes, who loved Frederik as perhaps never king was loved before, hastened to collect money to erect a new palace upon the ruins of the old. The result is the castle as it now stands, in exactly the same outward form, and internally almost wholly restored.
No site more picturesque and beautiful could have been chosen. From the largest of the many small lakes scattered over this region, built on three islands connected by bridges with each other and the mainland, rises "the loveliest castle of the north." Along two sides of the lake extend the town, on the third side rise the craggy slopes of the "Hunter's Hill" and the "King's Garden," while from the fourth stretches the "Inclosure" or park, with its "banks and canals.
The palace itself consists of a somewhat irregular assemblage of red brick buildings. The outer courtyard is spacious, and its chief ornament is a superb marble fountain in the center, with bronze statues of Tritons and Nereids, a very beautiful statue of the "God of Waters" crowning the whole. The mountain as it now appears was restored after the fire through the aid of old drawings, and is a masterpiece of art. A bridge leads from this courtyard into the inner one, which is surrounded on three sides by buildings and flanked on the fourth by a wall decorated with statues of the old Greek and Roman gods, most of them minus the nose.
The main part of the palace is now occupied by a historical museum, containing Danish relics and curiosities dating back many hundred years, beside an extensive gallery of paintings, in which the famous historical painter, Carl Bloch, is well represented. The collection is said to be exceptionally fine, but I have not yet seen it, owing to the intense cold that prevails in the vast, stone-floored halls. Summer is the time to visit the museum; then, the coolness is delightful. The church, however, I have seen, and that is truly magnificent. Like the rest of the castle, it is built in the style of the Renaissance, with high, pointed windows and branching arches. The ceiling especially is beautiful, all in white and gold, with pink cherubs hovering around. The pews and a part of the walls are of carved wood, with funny grinning figures of apostles, angels, and dancing women in high relief. Among the attractions are a massive gold altar-piece, representing scenes in the life of Christ, and a pulpit supported by silver statues of the apostles. In this church many of the Danish kings and queens have been crowned.
It is really a very picturesque place, surrounded, as it is, by water everywhere. The main building arises abruptly from the lake, and canals wend in and out among the others, through arches and under bridges. Very effective are two of the foremost buildings, low and unadorned, except by quaint, round turrets, and small, square, many-paned windows; they are connected with another of the islands by a stone bridge, known as the "S" bridge, on account of its strange shape. On the middle island bits of wild garden skirt the buildings, sloping down to the water. The tall, slender towers, of which the highest is 80 feet, are graceful and somewhat fantastic, ending in huge, gilded weather vanes.
The King's Garden is laid out in the French style, consisting of a series of terraces and alleys overlooking the lake.
The wide walks are bordered by colossal box hedges, fantastically clipped, whose antiquity (they are many hundred years old) is an excuse for their ugliness. One hedge runs almost across the garden, forming a compact, living parapet. The broad alleys of poplars and elms are delightful in summer time, when the interlacing branches almost shut out the sunlight, but when the boughs are bare, as now, the effect is almost too weird. On a level space up above the terraces rises a slender granite column, raised to the memory of Schwerin, the great Danish statesman, who devoted his life to the task of giving his country a free constitution. From this place one looks over the terraces and the castle, which, seen from here, seems to rise from the velvety green of the Queen's Isle, a small green garden in the water. South of the King's Garden is the Hunter's Hill, likewise a series of irregular terraces, but free and unconstrained, with the beautiful Danish beech trees growing at will. Now it is winter, the beech leaves lie in sodden heaps under the snow, and the boys rush down the terraces on "skis," but when I first saw the castle it was late autumn, and I don't think I can ever forget it as I saw it then. The red walls arose almost sternly from the lake, clearly drawn against the glowing sunset sky, the shrubbery in the wild bit of garden outlined in sharp silhouette; in the foreground the trees that dipped their branches into the still water; in the background the houses of the town, black against the dazzling light. And then the bluish twilight came on, and softened the sharp outlines, and lights twinkled in the gray water. It was one of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen.
But next to the castle itself, the best part of Frederiksborg is the Inclosure. This park, for the greater part level, extends from the canals north of the castle to the open country on one side and a pine forest on the other, separated from the King's Garden by a wide public road. Here are several small lakes, and the character of the whole is that of nature in its free state. Graveled walks lead along the sides of the lakes, in one of which is a tiny wooded island, where a summer house is built. On the bank of one lake is "Badstuen" (the bath house), a red brick pavilion in the Flemish style. The rooms here have stone floors checkered in black and white, and narrow barrel windows, and one gets the impression rather of a prison than a pleasure pavilion. Through the windows one sees massive old tables, stiff, high-backed chairs, and queer-looking benches. On one side of the "badstuen" is a small lake, in summer time the abode of a flock of swans, in winter the resort of the skaters; on the other side one looks from the slight elevation down through "allees" of chestnut, elm, and beech, and across an open space with here and there clumps of delicate young beech trees and birches. This part of the park has a certain indescribable air of daintiness. The trees are mostly slender and graceful, the grass is long, and the canals are shaded by willows and hemlock. One seems so far removed from the rest of the world, the deep stillness is broken only now and then by the twitter of a bird, one feels almost as if wandering in an enchanted land. Now that the boughs are all covered with snow and ice, the whole looks like a fairyland scene rather than a modern park.
Of the "allees," one is especially noteworthy, bearing the name of "The Allee of Christian IV." It consists of great, old chestnuts and extends quite a distance. Following its course one reaches the famous "King's Stone," large and gray and mossy, with a seat rudely cut in its surface. It is said that every evening, while Frederiksborg was being built, Christian IV sat on this stone in the courtyard, paying out their wages to his working men. As to how it came to lie in its present place, the following story goes. When the castle was finished, Christian IV wished to carry his seat to some place that had struck his fancy, and, with his own royal hands, he took hold of one side, while a peasant lifted the other. But the stone was heavy, and when they had borne it some distance it fell from their grasp. "Well," said the king, "let it stay there, then!" And there it has lain undisturbed through the centuries. We Americans are so used to everything being brand new that it seemed very strange to me to be sitting now in the same place where the Danish king, dead centuries ago, counted out his laborers' money.
There are few things in the world so beautiful as a Danish beech wood. We of the western prairies miss a great deal in this tree. And here the beeches do not grow singly; no, there are forests upon forests composed all of this one tree. As Nebraskans speak of their cornfields, so the Danes speak of their beech woods, only a hundred times more lovingly and enthusiastically, and the beechen bough has come to be almost sacred as the national emblem. The Danes love their beech woods, and at Whitsuntide, when the leaves are out, there is a regular pilgrimage to the forests for young branches, with which the home is decorated, to tell that summer has come. One part of the inclosure at Frederiksborg consists of a beech grove. The straight, even trunk, of a silvery gray, with splashes of fine green moss, and the regular branches, with their delicate, light leaves, make a single tree an object of beauty. Then, think how lovely must be a whole grove of beeches! There is no undergrowth of shrubbery, but a thick carpet of moss and dry leaves, and the pleasant crackle of the beech nuts under one's tread is the only sound heard. In spring, the ground is literally hidden under a dense growth of primroses, anemones, and buttercups.
The town of Frederiksborg is very pretty; especially do I admire the roofs, of which one cannot get tired. The streets curve now this way, now that. All the low-brick houses are built with the side, and not the gable, fronting the street, and no two of the many roofs are alike. One is very high, the peaked gable rising above the neighboring roof, with two funny, narrow dormer windows way up near the chimney; the next is rather low, with one wide window, big enough for a small shop. There are high roofs and low roofs, big windows and little windows, and no windows at all. And of all these roofs, no two seem to be on the same level. It lends a very quaint effect to the street, toward which the varieties of chimneys and weather vanes also help. The gardens of every house, instead of being in front, as is usual in the United States, are at the back or side of the house, and one does not have to pass through it to reach the front door, as there is one where the house touches upon the street or driveway, and another opening into the garden. The "back yard" is enclosed by a wall or high board fence. Of course, there are exceptions, but this is the rule. It is not so pretty, but gives greater privacy and seclusion, which the Danes value highly. Here one's private life is held sacred, and any violation is strongly resented. There is no "society column" in the Sunday papers, as articles about the wives of famous men and millionaire's children. As for the gardens, they are enclosed by hedges, walls, or high board fences. I must say that I like this love of privacy; it makes the home seem more sacred, more one's own.
There is a boys' school in Frederiksberg which gets its share of renown from the fact that Madvig, the world-famous Latin scholar, was one of its pupils. The school was established by Christian IV, and has through all these years been endowed with many legacies, royal as well as private. The boys there are very proud of their famous fellow pupil, and tell me stories of how Madvig translated novels into Latin and made rules for his teachers to follow.
Not far from Frederiksberg is Lake Esrom, on whose bank one can still see ruins of the great, rich, monastery, whose fat monks ruled for many centuries over the neighboring country. In the Inn at the village of Esrom is a double door of massive carved oak, which has been taken from the old cloister. On the opposite side rise among the trees the white turrets of Frederiksberg, the summer residence of the king of Denmark, which has lately been an object of considerable interest, owing to the lovely castle Alexander III, bore to the lovely castle. Here, the czar spent at least a few weeks every summer together with the czarina, who is a daughter of the Danish king, and many are the anecdotes the people tell around here of the big, strong czar.
Esrom is quite a large lake, and its shores are clad with forests. The road thereto leads now through dark pine woods, now through groves of beeches. Here and there, towering above the other trees, one sees the straight, slender trunk of an old pine, not unlike a huge telegraph pole, naked, except for the few shaggy branches at the very top. From the hills around the lake one has a fine view over the undulating country, and from one part of the road one can look quite across the sound to the coast of Sweden.
On the way from Frederiksberg to Esrom one passes a little old stone church, which, though no history clings to it, catches the eye by its picture-squeness. It is in the village of Niddebro, a quaint little place, with some houses painted pink and others covered to the chimneys with ivy. The church lies in the midst of the graveyard, a wild little spot, overgrown with grass and brambles, and is built of rough blocks of gray stone, with a queer, peaked steeple at one end and for windows a few narrow slits under the eaves. It is the oddest, prettiest sight imaginable.
And of spots like this there are many in the north of Zealand. The humble little farmhouses, thatched with straw, with their small, bleary windows, and the cracked walls leaning to one side; the twisted, wind-blown willows that bend over the tiny ponds sunk in the middle of the fields; the windmills here and there on the hills; the quiet, peaceful graveyards surrounding the churches, with the tile-roofed steeples, where the stork builds his nest; all these help to make a fitting setting for the charm of the North, the beautiful Frederiksberg.

A Prayer for Dumb Animals.
"The quality of mercy is not strained,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the thirsty earth. It is twice blessed,
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes
'Tis mightiest in the mighty.
We do pray for mercy,
And that same prayer doth teach all to
render
The deeds of mercy. "
All lovers of animals will rejoice to hear that the practice of docking horses' tails is gradually being looked upon with disfavor in Old Britain, and also in America, people are awakening to the fact that the graceful swan-like tail with which nature has endowed the horse is one of the chief attractions of this noble animal, It is also a cruel and barbarous practice and disfigures this beautiful and able creature, the friend as well as the servant of man. The horse is truly the noblest of dumb animals and it is with deep sorrow we witness the many cruelties practiced toward it. Deprived of part of its tail, the poor animal is kept in constant motion during the hot summer months, driving the tormenting files from its body by means of its head and its legs. There are many prominent veterinary surgeons who will not perform the operation at any price. How much better this world would be if more of us brought our conscience to bear in our business or profession. The high check rein, we trust, is also going, as it prevents the beauty of the neck from showing to advantage. Small wonder that a horse is impulsive and shows temper when subjected to such treatment. If men and women would live nature unadorned, how much more careful and happy our domestic animals would be, Robert Burns in his beautiful poem "Man Was Made to Mourn," speaks with deep pathos of man's inhumanity to man, but when we consider man's inhumanity to dumb brute, we find words with which to clothe our outraged feelings. How many times we have turned away in horror at the sight of great strong men and boys brutally beating their poor, ill-fed, overworked and hobbled horses and felt a strong desire to see the offenders justly punished.
And now I must say a few words to the young folk who have pet dogs, cats, rabbits, or birds. Dear children, see to it that your pets are carefully tended. Give them their food regularly and plenty of fresh water. It is a pitiful sight to see a young dog full of life and frolic, lying a few feet from the door in the back yard, whining piteously. The poor little thing wants some exercise, parents, see that your children treat their pets with kindness and consideration.
Although there are some children who are naturally cruel and tyrannical, yet in the majority of cases it is thoughtlessness that makes children inflict pain. Should it not, therefore, be our duty as parents and teachers to impress on those young minds which are like wax to receive and marble to retain impressions, that it is only cowardly and selfish people who ill treat weak and defenseless animals. Yet, strange to say, women who will faint at the sight of blood and talk with quivering voice over any injury to a loved one, will look calmly on while a poor little kitten, just taken from its mother and whose eyes are scarcely open, is mauled and pulled about until its tender little bones are twisted out of shape by a roistering and playful child. Train your children while young to be kind and gentle. No boy will grow up to be a good and brave man who treats with cruelty helpless animals under his charge. As a great and unerring guide says: "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it."

OUR QUEEN OF MAY.
Apollo A. Van Camp.
No royal lady fair of Florence old,
E'er swayed with prouder grace
Her scepter over knights and warriors bold,
Than she of peerless face
Who reigns over Florida's court today
Our chosen Queen of May.
Her regal head, gold gleaming in the sun,
With crown of springtime flowers,
Bends to her subjects, kneeling one by one,
To greet this queen of ours.
So proud are we to do her least behest,
This sovereign, flower besprest,
Her eyes so deeply, darkly violet blue,
Smile on the merry throng-
That proves its loving service, warm and true,
In joyous dance and song.
Even the lowliest one she stoops to greet,
Our loyal lady sweet.
No gold nor costly jewels does she own,
No need of them has she:
For prouder monarch on a daintier throne
Could never, never be.
Bright as the dawn, she is, fair as the day,
Our lovely Queen of May.
Finer than magicians.
In the glow of a Kentucky twilight, a friend and I were walking the "pike" just out of a small town. Just in front of us was an old gray-bearded darky, going home from his work. Suddenly he stopped, looked intently down at something in the white dust, and as we came up, he stooped and picked up a horseshoe, at the same time spitting over his left shoulder.
"What have you found, Uncle Lige?" my friend asked.
"A horseshoe, Missy, and if it turns out to bring me good luck, I'll spit over my left shoulder."
Yes, the superstition among the negroes of the south is both amusing and pitiful. On a dark night, they cannot be induced to pass a "burying ground," and a house in which a negro has died can seldom be rented to other negroes; they can tell horrible stories of what they have seen and heard. When a negro becomes ill, it is at once noised about that he has been "conjured," and cannot recover as long as the "spell" lasts. The negro "conjurer" is a prominent personage, feared and obeyed, for all the darkies stand in mortal terror of his power. He is supposed to possess power to cause one to lose property, to become sick, or to be followed by an evil spirit.
There is an ancient negro living in Barren county, Kentucky, who once belonged to the Bailey family, and at the close of the war took the name of William Bailey. He is more than 80 years old, but continues to practice his magic among the "coons," just as he did during slave times. He places a ball of hair on a fire, sprinkles sulphur over the hair, and bends over the flames, muttering some nonsensical words. When the negroes see these proceedings, they are on the lookout for misfortunes, and any trivial loss happening about this time is at once placed at the door of the conjurer. They know he is angry with someone of them and is putting them under his "spell."
I once heard a servant girl, who was angry with the lady to whom she was hired, say "If I could just get three hairs from her head, I'd put her under a spell, surely."
In a town in southern Kentucky, an amusing trial is now going on. The charge against the defendant is obtaining money under false pretenses. He is a large, well-built negro, about 40 years old, and named Bob. He was never known to do a day's hard labor, nor can he call a dollar his own, yet, like many others of his color, he lives as well as those who work daily. In the same town lives an honest, hard-working negro woman. Bob knew that "Aunt Martha" was very superstitious and in this he saw an opportunity to make money. So he went to her and told her that he knew an old darky who hated her and who was making preparations to "conjure" her. And he also told her that he was the only one who possessed the power to break this spell, and that he would do so for $2 per week, to which Martha readily agreed, glad to have escaped the clutches of the conjurer. The poor woman toiled all the harder and worked later to support her family and be ready with the $2 every Saturday night.
After this deception had gone on for a year or more, a gentleman, to whose family Aunt Martha had belonged in the old days, asked her what she did with her money. She was complaining of the hard times and was asking help, knowing that she would never be refused by "Young Master," as the hens of ex-slaveholders are still called by their former slaves. In reply to his question, Aunt Martha burst into tears and told him the whole story. She had been afraid to tell before, for she had supposed there was none who had sufficient power to defy the conjurer. Bob was arrested and will probably serve time in the penitentiary.
These are only a few of the many superstitions existing today among the negroes of the south. LIZZIE PORTER.

HOW ARE WE IN HAWAII
Notes of a Pleasant Sojourn in the Sandwich Isles.
EVOLUTIONS AND ROYAL RECEPTIONS
Well Known American Woman Tells Entertainingly of Life in Honolulu-Plenty and Peace to King and Subject Equally Argued Art furnishes American,
HONOLULU, Hawaiian Islands, April 13 - Dear Sister: The steamer "Aurora" outbound to Australia, stopped this morning bringing mail, told us the women are to "run" the sanctum of The Omaha Bee on May 1 and want me to tell you something of this "permission of the accident" for its columns.
How can I do it? When I open my bag of news, I find such an embarrassment of riches I cannot but feel silonest beflit the situation. We have had a delightful time over El Nove, left the hand of our national capital, Washington early in February. I simply don't know where to begin my gossip of it.
In Chicago, we almost froze with the mercury 20 degrees below zero. On the brokers, we trembled lest we were to be stuck in a snow storm an indefinite time, but a kind Providence landed us in San Francisco in time to catch the steamer "Oceanic," on which we had engagement. Our start was the ordinary one, only our mind was occupied watching the Chinese load their luggage in the steamer.
We were met on the wharf by Mr. and Mrs. Diamond and taken to the delightful home on Diamond beach and have been their guests over since. We are in close proximity to Diamond Head, where the arms were landed for the revolution in February last and can look from one piazza door over the battlefield of that time. We would call it "a little scrap" in America, here they speak mysteriously of "the last revolution."
One night recently we were suddenly awakened by a noise that was unmistakably a dynamite explosion or something akin to it. Next morning the daily papers told us it was one of the left-over bombs the revolutionists had secreted in an old unoccupied house near Diamond Head, that the police had not found. There was undoubtedly revolution or something like it in the air a few months ago, but now all has settled down and the most rabid Royalists are talking annexation and wondering how their brethren in the United States will treat them when they are adopted in the great national family. The natives here want annexation to the United States and want a cable and the United States need these Islands much worse than they need us.
Cleveland and Gresham may have their ideas, but they don't realize there is a tide in the affairs of nations (as well as men) that taken at the flood leads on to fortune. The United States will make one of the gravest mistakes of modern history if she allows any foreign power to control the Hawaiian Islands.
We are in too much of a muddle now to charge up many more of President Cleveland's mistakes (?) they may bankrupt us.
I have looked at the situation here as a woman and have jumped to a woman's conclusions, for a woman's reason, just because, but I am "dead sure" I am right and believe future history will verify my predictions. Although I can never vote on these problems and am very busy, I never wish to do so, the problems are before us, like Banquo's ghost, and I, as a woman, am entirely willing to relegate them to the men to think out. But my advice is: Hold on, these Islands, or in coming years you'll tear a womanly chorus calling "We told you so," as I find most of the American women residents here feel much as I do. But enough, politics from a non-partisan standpoint Cleveland is so much worse than his party, his blunders cannot be reckoned in a partisan spirit.
There may be a more beautiful city than Honolulu, but I haven't seen it. It is a bower of beauty; the homes are all cosy, elegant in many instances, cultured and refined. The people here constitute a little world in themselves and have time to be gracious to each other and genuinely hospitable to strangers. We are having a thoroughly good time, have been delightfully entertained by our American minister's family, Mr. and Mrs. Willis, who by the way, are one of Mr. Cleveland's lucky blunders, are shunning people and a real credit to the United States government in every way. We attended a reception they gave in honor of Admiral Dearborn of the United States flagship "Philadelphia," now in the port. We also enjoyed the pleasure of the return hospitality of Admiral Heardsley, Captain Cottam and other officers of the ship. In a fine reception and dancing party given on board the Philadelphia on April 4. Several hundred guests present. "Fetching gowns," "Flashing electric lights." The word "Aloha" (meaning loving welcome and all other kinds of sweet words according to the context) greeted us in many colored lights amid the artistically draped flags of all nations. Mr. and Mrs. Diamond gave us a large party on April 9. Their home formerly belonged to the Princess Ruth. It is large and original, and when ablaze with electric lights, with flags, flowers and ferns galore, then its rooms, and on its 400 feet of plaza room, the effect was very fine. Thirteen tables of six-handed euchre were scattered about and many guests did not play.
The night before last we attended a genuine native feast given in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gillis of New York City, and ourselves. There were forty plates on the table (we did not sit on the floor, but in all particulars the feast was the true Hawaiian "luau," pronounced "loo-oo"). I was attended at the table by a most kindly old chief who has enjoyed an income of from $40,000 to $50,000 yearly from a sugar plantation. He began to eat his calabash of "poi" with a fork, as a gracious compliment to my Americanism, but when he saw I intended to try to do as Romans do in Rome, he went at it naturally with his fingers, and I couldn't eat, for admiration and wonder. His dexterity and grace in landing the slippery stuff in his mouth was a marvel to me.
I can never be sure of its landing in my mouth, even with a spoon. We have a friend here, Mr. H.F., Wichman, who owns as large and handsome a jewelry store as any in Omaha. He designs and manufactures many spoons; perhaps a spoon with a fence around it for Americans to eat "poi" with may become one of his novelties in the future.
Today Mrs. Diamond and I are invited to a reception given by Mrs. Dole, wife of the president, "to meet Mrs. and Mr. Severance," the cards read. I have had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Dole socially and have come to regard her as a delightful woman. She is from "down in Maine." Yankees are ubiquitous and keen, clever and companionable whenever you meet them.
Yesterday we took a trip up the Palma in company with friends. I wish I had time to tell you of it, as I never before saw anything like the grandeur of the panorama that presents itself when you reach the top of the Palma. It awed me into silence like the subtle heavenly essence of the "White City" under its best conditions.
I won't apologize for this hastily written scrawl. It's not even worth an apology. But if your editorial committee will slash it, cut it, boil it down and write it even possibly you'll find something hidden in the verbosity out of which to concoct a little from "our special correspondent in Honolulu," who knows she can't write one, but is nevertheless a most sincere friend of the women who propose to oust Brothers, Notes, Waters, Haines, Snyder and all the other competent editors of The Omaha Bee and run things to suit themselves for one day. Your constituency will say, "Let go" at least one time, I fear, if many of your co-laborers are as hurried as your affectionate sister, JENNIE TOUTOUN. | 9 |

' As we have visited the many hospitals In
making thli report , we are ure that no
city of equal size or age has devoted so much
attention and money to the cares of the tick
its Omaha. It Is with pride and pleasure that
we present tha following sketchei , especially
those given over the signatures of those who
were the pioneers In this holy work , and
liave long been per onally Interested. The
recollection of the scents that occurred In
the first hospital are thrilling , and the mem
ory of those women who , thronRh storm and
lieat , visited It day by day and kept It In
perfect order , Is something of which ( o be
proud. Omaha owes a great debt to the |
women who , In the "early days. " laid the
foundation of what Is now a most perfect
ystern of medical work In hospitals.
CLARKSON MEMORIAL.
Tha Clarkson Memorial hospital Is the di
rect outgrowth of the fir t hospital In
Omaha , which was built In 1SCO. neir the
corner of Webster and Twenty-third streets
by the Ladles' Hospital association , com-
J > oed of women from all Protestant denom
ination ! In the city. It was opened early
In 1870 , and called the "Good Samaritan. "
It was supported by the united efforts of the
members of the association , who took upon
themselves , by turns , the offices of nurse.
Inspector and general provider. A few gen
erous physicians gave It a free medical
service.
In 1871 Its control was transferred to the
Episcopal church.
On December C , 187T , It wag totally de-
Btroyed by fire , and the work for the time
being was abandoned.
On the 13th of October , 1881 , at a meeting
of women called by Ellshop Clarkson , the
association was reorganized , and a similar
hospital was opened at 1716 Dodge street
In April , 1883 , the lot was cleared and the
present commodious hospital begun on the
name site. The corner stone wa& laid June
12 , and In December following. It was dedi
cated by Illshop Clarkson under the name
of the "Child's Hospital. "
It ti a hamUoma building of brick and
Btone , four stories high , welt planned , and
with a capacity of twenty-lour bds , of
which seven are endowed.
It hag a corps of well trained nurses , and a
fine operating room , and Is one of the suc
cessful charities of the city.
Soon after Its completion It was transferred
to tha Cathedral chapter of the diocese ,
which assumed the nominal control , with a
board of managers , composed wholly of
. women.
On May 23 , 1S52 , the hospital was Incor
porated under the name of "Clarkson Me
morial hospital , " with a board of trustees ,
consisting of IU. Hev. George Worlhlngton ,
bishop of the diocese ; Hon. James M. Wool-
Avorth , Mr. Herman Kountze , Mr. P. ir.
Davis , Mrs. It. H. Clarkson and Mrs. A. J.
< il'oppleton.

eon , manager ; Mrs. J. L. Webster , secretary
and treasurer ; Dr. John L. Summers , physi
cian and surgeon la charge.
MRS. A. J. POPPLETON.
Speaking of the first hospital ever or-
Kanlzed reminds me of some of our ex
periences. The house was BO small the
little rooms were always crowdexf. Often
beds were made on the floor for those who
could not bo otherwise taken care of. One
morning I met the matron coming out to
meet mo , as It was my day of visitation. She
was pale and frightened. A man had tried
to walk across the floor and had fallen ( lead.
There was no one to call and she could only
wait till some one came , Evorthlng had
t * be done by going personally , for there
were no telephones. Many young- men wore
taken there who were without homes , as
the number of "detached" men was at that
tfmo very great. It was partly to meet
tielr needs In time of Illness that the hos
pital was organised. Many of these young
mnn became despondent , and It Is. told of
tha nearest neighbor that ha used to go out
to his well every morning to see If any one
liad Jumped In during the night. Women
vrere often sheltered there , and sometimes
those who were- too unfortunate to find any
home but the street were taken In and
helped to n better lite , thus exemplifying
the deeper meaning of the word hospital.
ST , JOSEPH'S.
Omaha Is fortunata In having In Its tnldst
many noble Institutions devoted to the care
of tha poor and unfortunate. Among these
the St. Joseph's Crelghton Memorial hospital
Is pre-eminent. Specially designed for hospl-
tsl.pnrposes , eqnlpped with the latest accessories
series known to medical and sanitary science ,
and managed by Sister * of the Order of St.
Francis , It Is at once an honor and benedic
tion to the church , to Omaha , and to the
founder Hon. Jotin A , Crelghton and his
late lamented wife.
Tha Sisters of El. Francli , an order spe
cially trained tor hospital work , came to
*
Omaha at the Instance of the lata nishop
O'Connor In 1SS9 , and took charge of the old
Mercy hospital , on Twelfth and Mason streats.
The accommodations nero limited and crude.
U lng tha only hospital In Omaha , It was
constantly over-crowded. As the city grew ,
BO did demands on the hospital. The name
Tras changed to St. Joseph's.
The need of a now hospital building grow
apaco. It was frequently discussed , but the
great cost of erecting : a , building commensu
rate with the -wants of the city , chilled the
cent monument to the memory of his wlfo
and his own liberality.
The hospital contains sixteen wards and
seventy private rooms , affording accommoda
tions for 309 patients at one time.

May 28. Six patients were received the first
day and several operations were performed
the first week. More nurses were needed at

family was compelled to move out to make
room for them.
The hospital Is small , having but thirty

It was our privilege to visit some of the
leading hospitals In New York City not long
ago. We are satisfied that there Is no better
work done In the cast than U being done In
the hospitals In Omaha. And when we
learned that patients were paying $10 , $12 or
$15 a month for ward beds and from $30 to
$40 a week for private rooms , with extra pay
for special nurses , etc. , we felt that Omaha
did not fully appreciate her hospital privi
leges.
On October 10 , 1S02. a resolution waa
adopted by the board of county commis
sioners organizing a medical staff , which la
composed of the Ir.idlng physicians of the

PnESBYTERIAN.
When we behold the large , four-story , finely
equipped building at Thirteenth nnd Dodge
streets now occupied by the Presbyterian
hospital , we can hardly realizeth.it less
than five years ago It was started In a very
feeble way , with only four beds and no en
dowment fund , for ome time previous to
Its founding the belief had existed In the
minds of many that there was abundant
room for such a hospital In this city , but It
was not until the summer of 1S90 that ar
rangements were made by which It could
be started.
A house was secured and fitted up In
Kountze Place , nnd four beds for the sick
were provided. A few days afterward the
first patient arrived from the western part
of the state.
When It had been running about a year and
a half , at the suggestion of Us superintend
ent , and at the request of Its trustees , "the
Lndles' Aid to the Presbyterian Hospital"
was organized. This organization , from Its
very beginning , ban been the strong right
arm of support to the hospital.
In less than three years the work had
outgrown Its limited quarters , and It was
decided that a more commodious building
should be secured , and batter facilities pro
vided for the extension of Its Interests.
Accordingly , the present location was se
lected , and the -house fitted up In the best
possible style , competent nurses and help
ers employed , and , In April , 1893 , the hos
pital was established In Its new home. It
has two Una operating rooms , and an emer
gency department.
Since entering this enlarged field of useful
ness the work has been most encouraging ,
and has grown to'a degree that has gained
for the hospital a well earned reputation.
In the few years It has been In existence
over 700 persons have received Its hospitality ,
and It must be remembered that many of
these were charity cases. Whether the pa
tient Is able to pay or not , It'alms to turn
away no worthy case. No distinction Is
made as to race , color or creed.
The hospital at present alms to maintain
one fres bed out of every six , itnit during the
past year has besn obliged to greatly Increase
Its charity work. About 33 per cent of Its
care has been given without enumeration
from the patients.
The medical and surgical departments are
In chargs of Miss Margaret Huston , a gradu
ate of the Illinois Training School for Nurses ,
jnd who has had practical experience under
some of the best surgeons In Chicago.
In order to carry out this work the hos
pital not only deserves , but has the right
to expect the supreme confidence and gener
ous financial support of Its friends , nnd all
benevolent persons of this city and rurround-
ing country , and having received these. It
will at no distant time be not only an orna
ment to this western metropolis , but will
be an efficient means of doing a far greater
amount of practical Christian work.

A Story tor Children.
Mooehy Is a little colored boy who lives
In a hospital In. a large city. The children's
ward in a largj hospital what a sad place
it Is ! Here you see- children of all ages ,
from the wee babe to the girl and boy who
used to go to echool before they were taken
sick. Their pathetic faces Ipok up at you
trom snowy beds , ranged Ih rfhnVs around
the room , for this Is a ward nnd each little
patient occupies a bed Just a few feet from
his neighbor on either side. It Is a bright ,
clean room with plenty of light and air.
Here the children that are not too III to play
may amuse themselves all day long. They
have dolls and a doll's house almost as
large as some of the rooms In which they
llva at home and hosts of books and play
things. Sometimes theie children have quite
is much fun as you have In your homes ,
t they are an odd looking company , very
different from those you are accustomed to
see. Here Is Annie , the oldest child In the
ward. She Is 11. She was carried Into the
hospital some months ago screaming with
[ > aln and unable to move her limbs. She Is
better now and the doctors say she will
walk again. That Is good news for Annie.
Every day she asks how long It will be be
fore she can walk.
Near her la a little girl about the same
age , with her head closely bandaged. There
Is Sara , the little Jewess , who has hsd a
difficult and dangerous operation. She Is get
ting well now and enjoys playing again ,
Just across the room Is a little German girl ,
younger than these , who suffers greatly ,
Poor little Freta ! She will never be any bet
ter. SIis cannot tit up or move on her lit
tle bed and the white suffering face grows
thinner and whiter every day. All the chil
dren are very kind to Freta.
But It Is of Mooehy I meant to write. He
has been In the hospital so long that he
seems quite at home there and It would be
difficult to think of the children's ward
without him. Ho has a shining black fact
and the prettiest little dimples In his
cheeks. He I * a happy Ilttlo fellow In splt <
of his misfortunes , for Mooehy Is 4 yean
old and has never walked. His little llmbi
are bent and twisted by disease and hi !
Joints are much too large for his delicate
Ilttlo frame. His arms look like the Italic
letter S and though he can use his hand !
they arc not so strong as- those of othei
children , He has no father and mother anr
like Tcpsy he must have "growed , " foi
nobody could ever learn much about him
He lived with a poor woman In a dlsma
little house In a dark street. She gave hln
what she could spare from her own largi
family , which was little enough. Here tomi
bind ladles found him and brought him t <
the hospital. Ho was a little frightened a
first by so many new faces and his strangi
surroundings , but he soon became accustomei
to tbe change and began to feel quite 1m
portant , for ho was an Interesting "case.1
Strange doctors came to see blm and hi
never wearied ot holding out his llttli
crooked arms for tbe Inspection visitors
and If strangers entering the ward failed ti
notice him they were soon made aware o
the fact. A little woolly head would pop ou
from under a table or peer around a eornei
of the doll's bouse and a voice would cat
out , "I'm here ; look at me. " Mooehy be
came the pet and plaything ot the house
He was always remembered when donation
went sent to the Children. There were book
with bright pictures , blocks with letters 01
and ft Ilttlo rocking horse for th boy wh
could not walk. Alt thso things he wan
told came from good people outside , BO the
great outside world became a strange and
beautiful place In his childish fancy and
when some of the children began to talk of
going homo ho said he was going homo.
When they asked him where his home was
he replied , "Outside" that wan all ho knew
dbout home. The children were fond of
him because he would pick up tbe playthings
they droppsit and could not get. He would
tllda along the floor as fast ns the others
could nnlk ; that was his way of traveling.
The nurses llkej him because he never cried
when they gave him his medicines. ' Even
the nanteoua cod liver oil he took as part of
his dinner. He let them bind up his arms
In splints and made no complaint so long as
his hands were free. Now , least you should
think Mooehy too fniiltlesa , I must tell you
of a little trick lip had that sometimes male
m quite naughty. , Ho was very fond of
oils , nnd though , he hnd dolls of hid own ,
t ho tnppcned to'fancy ona the little glrh
ere playing wthhc , uonlil snatch It out of
heir hands , elide auay nnJ creep under n
ow table In a corner " ' "le room > where
hey could not Rqt a blm. Then a wall
ould BO up from th little girls , and nurse
ould have to Interfere and drag Mooehy
rom his hiding placeind , { make him give up
ho doll. Then ijo would pant. His head
kvould droop and le uould fall In a heap on
ho floor , and people , who were not used to
Is trick would say , f"How very sick that
hlld Is ! " Hut he was not sick. He was
nly "playing "possum , " and a very cunning
'ttlo 'possum he was.
After many weeks his arms became straight
ml he grew quite strong nnd well. Soon he
fas able to stand , then to- take a step or two ,
oldlng fa t to cHarts. That was a great
ay when Mooehy began to walk ! All the
hlldren announced It nt once. Then we
teed him In the middle of the floor and
matched him take a few uncertain steps , llko
little , toddling baby. In a short time ho
culd walk alone. Then how proud he wast
lo stumpe-d around on his heels with his feet
ory far apart , Juat as you have seen boys
king on stilts. To him , however , and
he delighted children looking , It was a most
.raceful performance.
Thqn we began to think of sending him
ome. Hut. alas ! Mooehy had no home ,
'he poor woman who cared for him had
moved away and could not be found. So
he charitable lady , who was president of
ho hospital , eald that Mooehy bhould re
main there till we could find a better home
or him "outside. "

This twenty-third of April brings freshly to
my mind
Another April day as fair n-i one need wish
to lint ! .
, Vhen all the Joy of motherhood asaln
came to my heart ,
And you , my little daughter , was ot my life
a part.
You came to cheer my lonely heart , nnd till
again the place
That Death hnd m.ide so vacant , when he
chilled the baby face
Of my precious , tlrst-born darling- , and
closed her eyes of blue
And left me sadly sorrowing , and , oh ! so
lonely , loo.
You came to me In springtime , with the
swelling buds nnd showers.
When nature wakens from her sleep and
brings her early llowera
To deck the chapel altars , and commem
orate the day
On which the savior left the tomb and
rolled the stone away.
Thnt we. Ills children , might look up , In
faith and humble trust.
And know our great Kedeemer lives and
watcheg o'er our dust
Until the resurrection morn , when , If we've
faithful been ,
We shall hear the Joyful summons , "Well
done , come- , enter In. "
The years have passed so quickly , and you
have ta'en your place
A.8 a loved wife nnd mother , nnd you now
Mil with grnce
The dearent spot to woman's heart , a home
by love made blest-
No other lot can be compared with love
and home anil rest.
And may your steps be guided by His o'cr-
sliadowlnK love ,
As on the way you Journey , until we meet
above ;
And may not one be mtsslmj from the circle
here below
When we rench the heavenly city and are

'Do you like to > telegraph ? Don't you get
tired of the cons tap t tick , tick ? Don't people
bother you most to death ? " These are the
questions asked me every day.
Yes , I like the telegraph. There Is no
work after having once mastered the pleasant
and fascinating art. The constant tick , tick.
I seldom notice , unleda directed to me. I sit
by my Instrument nhil read or visit with
friends , and never notice noise , unless It calls
me. Every ofllce lhas its queer experiences ,
but sometimes I think mtns most ot all. I
am asked every conceivable question , from
Please tell me where Judge Cooley Is , " to
"Will you hold my dog until I go upstairs ? "
I never realized tts Ignorance of the ma
jority of the people , about telegrams , the
method of checking , sending , receiving , etc. ,
until I was where people consider me a pub
lic directory , andltflo ; ugt stop at anything In
the question line.
About a month ago' ' a lady drove up to the
office door In a very fine turnout. Her gown
was fine , her diamonds large. She wishec
mete send a mcasago to Chicago to her
husband for a ticket , and said she woult
call In a few minutes for the same. "But 1
cannot get the ticket for you ; I can only senc
the telegram. " I said. Her eyes grow larger
and larger , and her surprise was great , for
she said : "Why , I thought they came over
the wire. "
I * ent a telegram to a pretty house on D
street last week , for the lady of the house.
When the messenger boy gave It to her sli ;
began to cry and scream. "Oh , my dear boy
My boy Is dead I know he Is dead. Read
it , Fanny , quick , I can't. I never can osfcn
the envelops. Oh ! my boy , my boy ! " Then
aliowent Into hysterics. Fauny could not
get up enough courage to open the telegram
and after calling In the neighbors , they callec
the boy and asked him to opn It. It read
"Mother , am dead broke ; send mo a five.
Jim. "
We see tragedies as well as comedies
sometimes. A young looking lady with a
child had often bean to the ofilce. The first
message she asked to send collect , as she
had no money , and the pitiful and sorrowfu
face conquered me , and I sent It to California
risking payment at the other end. It read
"Don't you care for us ? Am out of money.
What shall we do ? "
A message -was sent nearly every day al
ways paid at the other end , but no answer.
Her last message rend : "Do not know
where to go , baby sick. Do not search for
us. Good bye. " It was the same old story
over again woman's confidence , man's de
sertion. I only know by the telegrams her
story , but was It not plain enough ? The
desperate look on her face Induced some o ,
the charitable \\onien of Omaha to care for
her , and kept the river from receiving two
bodies. They finally sent her home to Tenn
essee to her relatives.
It Is surprising bow many messages are
received and sent by all kinds of buslnesi
men. Fifty years ago no one thought o
such a thing. Today every business house
of any Importance receives an average o
five to ten wires per day nnd many of my
customers' telegraph bills are the larges
Items In their business.
How differently people receive telegrams
especially men. Some grab the envelope
and will not sign until the contents are
known ; others throw the messages n
clerks to read , as though receiving them
was too much of a bore. I have Been men
tremble Just like a woman when opening a
telegram. As a general thing my custom
era are kind and always very polite , neve
complain and I see only the sunniest side
of their life unless I remember what Is h
the telegrams. I never had a disagreeable
customer , still , It Is rather provoking to
have a man run after you In the stree
after business hour's yelling"Oh , Miss
please send this. ' 1 Is so Important ant
must have a quick answer , " and then learn

vcrrln.
That physical culture has become more than
a fad with the women of Omaha Is evidenced
> y the constantly Increasing attendance at
ho class of the Omaha Turnvereln. This
oclely has for the past nine or ton years
irovlded Instruction for women and the efil-
clcncy of the work done there Is dally win-
ilng adherents to the German system of
gymnastics. This past winter over seventy
women have attended the class. They meet
Thursday evenings In the hall of the society.
The exercises consist of walking , running ,
calisthenics , dumbbells and wand exercUvs
and club swinging ; nUo exercises of an easy
iml graceful nature on the horizontal ladder ,
lorse , parallel bars , etc. In this connection
t may bp Interesting to state regarding the
much dtsciusel question as to the desirability
of apparatus exercises for women that at Its
ecsnt meeting In New Yorok the American
Society for the Advancement of Physical
ulturo decided In favor of apparatus turning
r women ; nnd Indeed , on needs but to
; lance at the rosy cheeks and strong , grace
ful bodies of these women to know that It Is
of benefit to them.
H has always been the aim of the various
Turner societies to Interest women In their
worl : , and now nearly every Turnvereln of
any Importance can boast a ladles' class.
Not all the members of this clais are young
Iris , A number of married women have at
tended this winter and are among the moit
enthusiastic members ot the class. In con
sequence of the Interest women are taking
n the matter the children's classes have as
sumed very large proportions , so much BO
that early In the year the classes had to tw
divided.
The costumes worn by the ladles are of
dark blue flannel trimmed with white braid
and consist of a loose belted waist and bloom-
rs and Is really very becoming. The mem-
sers of the class are especially proficient In
the use of Indian clubs. They are to appear
at the annual exhibition the 20th of May. and
will undoubtedly prove an attraction. It U
ilso rumored that they Intend to take part
in the annual tournament ot the turner so
cieties of Nebraska at Plattsmouth some time
In June , when tbe ladles' class of the Lincoln
Turnverelns will be present.
A cordial Invitation is hereby attended to
all women -who are Interested In physical
culture to call at Turner hall , 1818 Harney
street and Thursday evening at 8 o'clock and
Judge for themselves what the class has ac
complished this winter.

Iloir Shall Good Nursti for Chlldred U
Hrcurcil ?
With all the hallowed Influences of a
mother's presence In the nursery she Is
sometimes forced to relinquish this most
precious duty because of III health , or cir
cumstances which require her to become a
bread winner. Then the 'all Important
question comes , whom shall she necuro to
take her place ? How many mothers make
a searching examination of the qualifications
of the applicant ? Too little attention Is
paid to the selection of the person who Is
to be the close companion of the little ones
of the family. This la somewhat excusable
since there Is no bureau of Information to
provide the Inquirers with satisfactory data ,
and , what IB still worse , there Is no place
where one can bo properly trained for this
work except by practising on uome person's
children.
Who would purchase nt great cost a beau
tiful dress and hire a dressmaker to fashion
It who hod only the knowledge slio had
chanced to acquire ? Yet a nurse without
any other qualifications than youth. Inex
perience nnd sometimes Indifference Is put
In charge of young children. She cuts
nnd slashes- Into the child's character till It
comes from her hands n misshapen thing a
misfit for every circumstance In life.
One of the crying needs or today Is the es
tablishment of schools for the training of
children's nurses , providing thorough In
struction in the care and physical training
of children from Infancy to 2 years of ago.
The course should Include the study of child
nature , children's amusements and the kin
dergarten principles and gifts , with prncllcnl
experience under careful supervision during
the course. When finished satisfactorily a
certificate of competency should bo granted.
Such a school could bo conducted In connec
tion with a creche. Each person corning
should bo taken on trial first , and If she
seemed to possess cruel , neglectful or stupid
characteristics she should bo dismissed.
Such sifting would assure to the woman who
wanted a nurse one with whom she could
trust her children's welfare.
The nurse , though thus thoroughly
equipped , would still lack one essential.
This element of success could be obtained
only by such Intimate relations with the
mother that she would Imbibe the mother's
enthusiasm and grasp her pinna for her de
velopment.
The associate of the children should bo
something more than a servant. Surely , no
person whom the mother considers her in
ferior is a fit guide and companion for her
children during the most Impressionable
period of their lives , therefore their nurse
ought to be respected , respcctablo and beloved -
loved by the whole family.
If this relation could exist , many young
ladles coming from good hcrnes with high
aspirations , good education and lovely char
acters would cheerfully fill these places now
relegated to untrained , Ignorant , stupid In
competents.
I will not harrow your feeling by reciting
the outrageous practices of nurses employed
under the present system , for you can seer
for yourself any sunny day In the park o !
any city enough to make your heart bleed
and If such things are done In public , what
wlli not be done in the seclusion of the
nursery.
Words fall to express the Indignation I
feel when I see mothers employing those
unworthy. Untrained Illiterates merely to
avoid care nnd responsibility. What re
ward shall she have who tnslaves her chili
that she may bo free ?

Edited by Mrs. Clara J. Perlne.
As we have visited the many hospitals in making this report, we are sure that no city of equal size or age has devoted so much attention and money to the care of the sick as Omaha. It is with pride and pleasure that we present the following sketches, especially those given over the signatures of those who were the pioneers in this holy work, and have long been personally interested. The recollection of the scents that occurred in the first hospital are thrilling, and the memory of those women who, through storm and heat, visited it day by day and kept it in perfect order, is something of which to be proud. Omaha owes a great debt to the women who, in the "early days," laid the foundation of what is now a most perfect system of medical work in hospitals.
CLARKSON MEMORIAL.
The Clarkson Memorial hospital is the direct outgrowth of the first hospital in Omaha, which was built in 1869 near the corner of Webster and Twenty-third streets by the Ladies' Hospital Association, composed of women from all Protestant denominations in the city. It was opened early in 1870, and called the "Good Samaritan." It was supported by the united efforts of the members of the association, who took upon themselves, by turns, the offices of nurse, inspector, and general provider. A few generous physicians gave it a free medical service.
In 1871, its control was transferred to the Episcopal church.
On December 5, 1872, it was totally destroyed by fire, and the work for the time being was abandoned.
On the 13th of October, 1881, at a meeting of women called by Bishop Clarkson, the association was reorganized, and a similar hospital was opened at 1716 Dodge street in April, 1883. The lot was cleared and the present commodious hospital begun on the same site. The cornerstone was laid June 12, and in December following, it was dedicated by Bishop Clarkson under the name of the "Child's Hospital."
It is a handsome building of brick and stone, four stories high, well planned, and with a capacity of twenty-four beds, of which seven are endowed.
It has a corps of well-trained nurses, and a fine operating room, and is one of the successful charities of the city.
Soon after its completion, it was transferred to the Cathedral chapter of the diocese, which assumed the nominal control, with a board of managers, composed wholly of women.
On May 23, 1882, the hospital was incorporated under the name of "Clarkson Memorial hospital," with a board of trustees, consisting of Bishop George Worthington, the diocese; Hon. James M. Woolworth, Mr. Herman Kountze, Mr. P. H. Davis, Mrs. R. H. Clarkson, and Mrs. A. J. Poppleton.
Its present officers are: Mrs. R. H. Clarkson, manager; Mrs. J. L. Webster, secretary, and treasurer; Dr. John L. Summers, physician and surgeon in charge.
MRS. A. J. POPPLETON.
Speaking of the first hospital reminds me of some of our experiences. The house was so small that the little rooms were always crowded. Often beds were made on the floor for those who could not be otherwise taken care of. One morning I met the matron coming out to meet me, as it was my day of visitation. She was pale and frightened. A man had tried to walk across the floor and had fallen dead. There was no one to call and she could only wait till someone came, as there were no telephones. Many young men were taken there who were without homes, as the number of "detached" men was at that time very great. It was partly to meet their needs in time of illness that the hospital was organized. Many of these young men became despondent, and it is told of the nearest neighbor that he used to go out to his well every morning to see if anyone had jumped in during the night. Women were often sheltered there, and sometimes those who were too unfortunate to find any home but the street were taken in and helped to a better life, thus exemplifying the deeper meaning of the word hospital.
ST. JOSEPH'S.
Omaha is fortunate in having in its midst many noble institutions devoted to the care of the poor and unfortunate. Among these the St. Joseph's Creighton Memorial hospital is pre-eminent. Specifically designed for hospital purposes, equipped with the latest accessories known to medical and sanitary science, and managed by Sisters of the Order of St. Francis, it is at once an honor and a benediction to the church, to Omaha, and to the founder Hon. John A. Creighton and his late lamented wife.
The Sisters of St. Francis, an order specifically trained for hospital work, came to Omaha at the instance of the late Bishop O'Connor in 1889, and took charge of the old Mercy hospital, on Twelfth and Mason streets. The accommodations were limited and crude. As the only hospital in Omaha, it was constantly over-crowded. As the city grew, so did the demands on the hospital. The name was changed to St. Joseph's.
The need for a new hospital building grew, and it was frequently discussed, but the great cost of erecting a building commensurate with the needs of the city, chilled the enthusiasm. The hospital contains sixteen wards and seventy private rooms, affording accommodations for 309 patients at one time.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL.
In March, 1831, the M.E. Hospital and Dispensary Association was organized. The association sent to the Chicago Training School for City, Home, and Foreign Missions for a matron, head nurse, two probationers, and a visiting doctor. On May 1, they came. The hospital was opened for patients on May 28. Six patients were received the first day and several operations were performed the first week. More nurses were needed at once, for so many sick came that the deaconess family was compelled to move out to make room for them.
The hospital is small, having but thirty beds, including two for children. Every bed is either occupied or engaged most of the time.
The work is done by Methodist deaconesses, who work without salary so that the money may be used for the poor.
PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL.
It has been now almost four years since we began, in which time there have been received and treated 1,810 patients. The reporter for the last year is as follows: Number of patients received from Omaha and South Omaha, 142; number from Nebraska, outside Omaha, 270; number from Iowa, 103; number from other states, 32; total, 552. Number of surgical operations, 385; number entirely free cases, 126; time occupied by free cases, 2,500 days; number of deaths, 9.

DOUGLAS COUNTY.
The Douglas County hospital is the only public institution of its kind in the state. The farm on which the buildings are situated lies in the southwestern portion of the city, on the banks of the Elkhorn River.
ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL.
The movement to build a new hospital began in 1880. By the will of Mrs. John A. Creighton, a fund of $50,000 was set aside for the projected building. Mr. Creighton heartily seconded the wishes of his wife. The site on the corner of Twelfth and Dodge streets was chosen. Plans were prepared and practical work began in 1881. The cornerstone was laid Sunday, November 23, of this year, by Bishop Samuel, then bishop of Concordia, Kan. Six hundred men, representing eight Catholic societies, besides a vast concourse of young and old of both sexes, participated in the ceremonies.
The hospital building occupies three sides of a square. It has a frontage of 62 feet on Tenth Street, the wing running back 301 feet. It is full four stories in height, the basement story being entirely above ground. The materials are pressed brick with brown stone trimmings. The main entrance on Tenth Street is an impressive arch of brown stone, springing from a cluster of columns, tapering in graceful lines with a cross on top and above the arch, carved in stone, the words:
MEMORIAL.

METHODIST HOSPITAL, .
boiled in caring for the sick poor who are
not able to pay, hence much free work is
done. Our physicians are in perfect sympathy
with the deaconess work, and not only work
gratuitously for the free patients, but where the
patient is able to pay part they say; "Pay
the hospital and we will do without." It was our privilege to visit some of the
leading hospitals in New York City not long
ago. We are satisfied that there is no better
work done in the east than is being done in
the hospitals in Omaha. And when we
learned that patients were paying $10, $12 or
$15 a month for ward beds and from $30 to
$40 a week for private rooms, with extra pay
for special nurses, etc., we felt that Omaha
did not fully appreciate her hospital privileges.
On October 10, 1902, a resolution was
adopted by the board of county commissioners organizing a medical staff, which is
composed of the leading physicians of the
city. Every form of disease is treated and
with great success. Besides the regular staff the county employs a resident physician
selected each year from graduates of medical
colleges of Omaha by competitive examination
by the medical staff. The total number of
inmates now in the hospital is 120. There
is a chaplain employed who also holds
service every Sabbath and does much for
the spiritual welfare of the patients.
ARMSTRONG-HOPKINS.
The Armstrong Hopkins' private hospital
exclusively for treatment of women and children, was opened October, 1893, and is
located in a very beautiful part of the city
133 South Twenty-ninth Avenue, adjacent
Hanscom Park, where the attractive scenery
continually before one helps take the mind
from sicklier and aid in the restoration of
the body. It is a new and handsome structure,
supplied with all modern improvements and medical and surgical appliances
Dr. Hopkins has, in addition to practice in
some of the best colleges and hospitals in
this country, had seven years extensive
practice in India, having had full charge of
hospital dispensaries and training schools for nurses there. She then returned to this
country on account of the trying climate
She brought with her from India an excellent
hospital, A Christian Jewess from Bombay,
a linguist versed in many tongues;
and a woman of rare skill, tact, and tender
new,
The hospital is a museum of Indian artifacts,
rugs, curios, and trophies which lend
a charm to the whole place and relieve it
of the sense of severity felt in the ordinary
hospital.
SWEDISH EMANUEL.
The present Swedish Emanuel hospital
building is a wing of what will be a very
large and imposing building when completed. It stands on a lofty site overlooking the whole city
built by the untiring energies of Rev. J. Fogelstrom who has the management of it assisted by most
competent sisters or deaconesses of the
Lutheran church. Its equipment is very
complete, and although too far from the
business portion of the city for emergency
work, the tonic properties of the pure air
surrounding it are of great value in bringing
back health to those who are cured for
there.
PRESBYTERIAN.
When we behold the large, four-story, finely
equipped building at Thirteenth and Dodge
streets now occupied by the Presbyterian
hospital, we can hardly realize that less
than five years ago it was started in a very
feeble way, with only four beds and no endowment fund, for sometime previous to
Its founding the belief had existed in the
minds of many that there was abundant
room for such a hospital in this city, but it
was not until the summer of 1890 that arrangements were made by which it could
be started.
A house was secured and fitted up in
Kountze Place, and four beds for the sick
were provided. A few days afterward the
first patient arrived from the western part
of the state.
When it had been running about a year and
a half, at the suggestion of its superintendent,
and at the request of its trustees, "the Ladies' Aid to the Presbyterian Hospital"
was organized. This organization, from its
very beginning, has been the strong right
arm of support to the hospital.
In less than three years the work had
outgrown its limited quarters, and it was
decided that a more commodious building
should be secured, and better facilities provided for the extension of its interests.
Accordingly, the present location was selected, and the house fitted up in the best possible style, competent nurses and helpers employed, and, in April, 1893, the hospital was established in its new home. It
has two large operating rooms, and an emergency department.
Since entering this enlarged field of usefulness the work has been most encouraging,
and has grown to a degree that has gained
for the hospital a well-deserved reputation.
In the few years it has been in existence
over 700 persons have received its hospitality,
and it must be remembered that many of
these were charity cases. Whether the patient is able to pay or not, it aims to turn
away no worthy case. No distinction is
made as to race, color, or creed.
The hospital at present aims to maintain
one free bed out of every six, but during the
past year has been obliged to greatly increase
its charity work. About 33 percent of its
care has been given without expectation
from the patients.
The medical and surgical departments are
in charge of Miss Margaret Huston, a graduate
of the Illinois Training School for Nurses,
and who has had practical experience under
some of the best surgeons in Chicago.
In order to carry out this work the hospital not only deserves, but has the right
to expect the supreme confidence and generous financial support of its friends,
and all benevolent persons of this city and surrounding country, and having received these, it
will at no distant time be not only an ornament to this western metropolis, but will
be an efficient means of doing a far greater
amount of practical Christian work.
FANNY L. HENRY.
MOOCHY.
A Story for Children.
Moochey is a little colored boy who lives
In a hospital In a large city. The children's
ward in a large hospital, what a sad place
it is! Here you see children of all ages,
from the wee babe to the girl and boy who
used to go to school before they were taken
sick. Their pathetic faces look up at you
from snowy beds, ranged in rows around
the room, for this is a ward and each little
patient occupies a bed just a few feet from
his neighbor on either side. It is a bright,
clean room with plenty of light and air.
Here the children that are not too ill to play
may amuse themselves all day long. They
have dolls and a doll's house almost as
large as some of the rooms in which they
live at home and hosts of books and play
things. Sometimes the children have quite
as much fun as you have in your homes,
for they are an odd-looking company, very
different from those you are accustomed to
see. Here is Annie, the oldest child in the
ward. She is 11. She was carried into the
hospital some months ago screaming with
pain and unable to move her limbs. She is
better now and the doctors say she will
walk again. That is good news for Annie.
Every day she asks how long it will be before she can walk.
Near her lay a little girl about the same age, with her head closely bandaged. There is Sara, the little Jewess, who has had a difficult and dangerous operation. She is getting well now and enjoys playing again. Just across the room is a little German girl, younger than these, who suffers greatly. Poor little Freta! She will never be any better. She cannot sit up or move on her little bed and the white suffering face grows thinner and whiter every day. All the children are very kind to Freta.
But it is of Moochey I meant to write. He has been in the hospital so long that he seems quite at home there and it would be difficult to think of the children's ward without him. He has a shining black face and the prettiest little dimples in his cheeks. He is a happy little fellow in spite of his misfortunes, for Moochey is four years old and has never walked. His little limbs are bent and twisted by disease and his joints are much too large for his delicate little frame. His arms look like the italic letter S and though he can use his hands, they are not so strong as those of other children. He has no father and mother and, like Topsy, he must have "grew," for nobody could ever learn much about him. He lived with a poor woman in a dismal little house in a dark street. She gave him what she could spare from her own large family, which was little enough. Here the town ladies found him and brought him to the hospital. He was a little frightened at first by so many new faces and his strange surroundings, but he soon became accustomed to the change and began to feel quite important, for he was an interesting "case." Strange doctors came to see him and he never wearies of holding out his little crooked arms for the inspection visitors and if strangers entering the ward failed to notice him they were soon made aware of the fact. A little woolly head would pop out from under a table or peer around a corner of the doll's house and a voice would call out, "I'm here; look at me." Moochey became the pet and plaything of the house. He was always remembered when donations went to the Children. There were books with bright pictures, blocks with letters of the alphabet, and a little rocking horse for the boy who could not walk. All those things were told came from good people outside, so the great outside world became a strange and beautiful place in his childish fancy and when some of the children began to talk of going home he said he was going home. When they asked him where his home was he replied, "Outside" that was all he knew about home. The children were fond of him because he would pick up the playthings they dropped and could not get. He would crawl along the floor as fast as the others walked; that was his way of traveling. The nurses liked him because he never cried when they gave him his medicines. Even the nauseating cod liver oil he took as part of his dinner. He let them bind up his arms in splints and made no complaint so long as his hands were free. Now, lest you should think Moochey too faultless, I must tell you of a little trick he had that sometimes made him quite naughty. He was very fond of oils, and though he had dolls of his own, he seemed to fancy one the little girls were playing with, he would snatch it out of their hands, slide away under a table in a corner of the room where they could not get at him. Then he would put his head down on the table and make no sound. When the little girls would get angry and say, "How very sick that child is!" he was not sick. He was only "playing possum," and a very cunning little possum he was.
After many weeks his arms became straight and he grew quite strong and well. Soon he was able to stand, then to take a step or two, holding fast to chairs. That was a great day when Moochey began to walk! All the children announced it at once. Then we saw him in the middle of the floor and matched him take a few uncertain steps, like a little, toddling baby. In a short time he could walk alone. Then how proud he was to stomp around on his heels with his feet very far apart, just as you have seen boys king on stilts. To him, however, and the delighted children looking, it was a most graceful performance.
Then we began to think of sending him home. But alas! Moochey had no home, the poor woman who cared for him had moved away and could not be found. So the charitable lady, who was president of the hospital, said that Moochey should remain there till we could find a better home for him "outside."

A Birth Announcement.
This twenty-third of April brings freshly to my mind
Another April day as fair as one need wish
to find! .
When all the joy of motherhood again
came to my heart,
And you, my little daughter, was of my life
a part.
You came to cheer my lonely heart, and till
again the place
That Death had made so vacant, when he
chilled the baby face
Of my precious, first-born darling, and
closed her eyes of blue
And left me sadly sorrowing, and, oh! so
lonely, too.
You came to me in springtime, with the
swelling buds and showers.
When nature wakens from her sleep and
brings her early flowers
To deck the chapel altars, and commemorate
the day
On which the savior left the tomb and
rolled the stone away.
That we, His children, might look up, in
faith and humble trust.
And know our great Redeemer lives and
watches over our dust
Until the resurrection morn, when, if we've
faithfully been,
We shall hear the joyful summons, "Well
done, come-; enter in."
The years have passed so quickly, and you
have taken your place
As a loved wife and mother, and you now
fill with grace
The dearest spot to woman's heart, a home
by love made blest-
No other lot can be compared with love
and home and rest.
And may your steps be guided by His overshadowing love,
As on the way you journey, until we meet
above;
And may not one be missing from the circle
here below
When we reach the heavenly city and are
known as we shall know.

"Some plans of Learning in a Branch Telegraph Office."
"Do you like to telegraph? Don't you get
tired of the constant tick, tick? Don't people
bother you most to death?" These are the
questions asked me every day.
Yes, I like the telegraph. There is no
work after having once mastered the pleasant
and fascinating art. The constant tick, tick.
I seldom notice, unless directed to me. I sit
by my instrument which reads or visits with
friends, and never notice noise, unless it calls
me. Every office has its queer experiences,
but sometimes I think mine most of all. I
am asked every conceivable question, from
"Please tell me where Judge Cooley is,"
to "Will you hold my dog until I go upstairs?"
I never realized the ignorance of the majority
of the people, about telegrams, the method of
checking, sending, receiving, etc., until I was
where people consider me a public directory,
and will stop at anything in the question line.
About a month ago, a lady drove up to the office door in a very fine turnout. Her gown was fine, her diamonds large. She wished to send a message to Chicago to her husband for a ticket, and said she would call back in a few minutes for the same. "But I cannot get the ticket for you; I can only send the telegram." I said. Her eyes grew larger and larger, and her surprise was great, for she said: "Why, I thought they came over the wire." I sent a telegram to a pretty house on D Street last week, for the lady of the house. When the messenger boy gave it to her, she began to cry and scream. "Oh, my dear boy, my boy is dead! I know he is dead. Read it, Fanny, quick, I cannot. I never can open the envelopes. Oh! my boy, my boy!" Then she allowed herself to go into hysterics. Fanny could not get up enough courage to open the telegram and after calling in the neighbors, they called the boy and asked him to open it. It read "Mother, am dead broke; send me a five. Jim."
We see tragedies as well as comedies sometimes. A young-looking lady with a child had often been to the office. The first message she asked to send was collect, as she had no money, and the pitiful and sorrowful face conquered me, and I sent it to California risking payment at the other end. It read "Don't you care for us? Am out of money. What shall we do?"
A message was sent nearly every day always paid at the other end, but no answer. Her last message read: "Do not know where to go, baby sick. Do not search for us. Goodbye." It was the same old story - woman's confidence, man's desertion. I only know by the telegrams her story, but was it not plain enough? The desperate look on her face induced some of the charitable women of Omaha to care for her, and kept the river from receiving two bodies. They finally sent her home to Tennessee to her relatives.
It is surprising how many messages are received and sent by all kinds of business men. Fifty years ago no one thought of such a thing. Today every business house of any importance receives an average of five to ten wires per day and many of my customers' telegraph bills are the largest items in their business.
How differently people receive telegrams, especially men. Some grab the envelope and will not sign until the contents are known; others throw the messages on clerks to read, as though receiving them was too much of a bore. I have seen men tremble just like a woman when opening a telegram. As a general thing, my customers are kind and always very polite, never complain and I see only the sunniest side of their life unless I remember what is in the telegrams. I never had a disagreeable customer, still, it is rather provoking to have a man run after you in the street after business hours yelling "Oh, Miss, please send this. It is so important and must have a quick answer," and then learn afterward that the message has lain half a day on his desk. Some few men keep constantly coming for a telegram "Anything for me?" "Haven't you received an answer yet?" They see a messenger boy in the office whose business it is to deliver telegrams, yet they look at me as though I had either swallowed or hidden their precious telegrams.
One thing I have noticed about branch office work you keep posted, I hear many astonishing things sometimes over the wires and when the signature comes I am more astonished than ever, but the oil saying "One can get used to anything," is true and it often "goes in one ear and out the other." A woman can keep secrets, all right. If you do not believe me, ask the telegraph girls. They know a few things they do not tell. I delivered a message the other day and said; "Mr. I do not know whether this is for you or not, as I think a mistake is made in the name." The man grabbed the envelope and said: "Oh yes, it is from my old woman, can you read the writing on the envelope."
Now these little instances are but a few of the queer things that happen each day. How can the world grow monotonous when such people exist?
I hear my office call and must stop, but before I close I wish to inform all business women and men and those that know nothing of business who have telegrams to send that it is with good service, quick sending and loyalty, and everything done in first-class style send via X. Y. Z. Telegraph company. To office genuine unless the title appears in white letters on a blue sign.
LOIS A. McCLAREN.
A little vine with tiny blossoms,
Climbing up the tower high;
Fled its precious fragrance
On the weary.
Just a slender little brooklet.
Flowing down the meadow green
But I saw a thirsty pilgrim
Drinking from its crystal stream.
And from these I learned a lesson,
On that pleasant summer morn;
Walking home with silent musings,
Through its fields of waving corn.
Slender brook, and tiny blossoms!
Veriest trifles, you will say,
Yet each had its cheering mission,
To the hearts that passed that way.
Humble teachers! But they told me,
And their whispered fingers still;
"None so poor, or weak, or lonely,
But can work some good or ill."
Springing from the faintest causes,
Grand results have sometimes shown
What a power there is in trifles,
To the thoughtful soul unknown.

CULTURE CLUB DOUBTS.
The ladies' club of the Omaha Turner society verily.
That physical culture has become more than a fad with the women of Omaha is evidenced by the constantly increasing attendance at the classes of the Omaha Turnverein. This society has for the past nine or ten years provided instruction for women and the efficiency of the work done there is daily winning adherents to the German system of gymnastics. This past winter over seventy women have attended the class. They meet Thursday evenings in the hall of the society. The exercises consist of walking, running, calisthenics, dumbbells and wand exercises and club swinging; also exercises of an easy and graceful nature on the horizontal ladder, bars, etc. In this connection it may be interesting to state regarding the much discussed question as to the desirability of apparatus exercises for women that at its recent meeting in New York the American Society for the Advancement of Physical Culture decided in favor of apparatus turning for women; and indeed, one needs but to glance at the rosy cheeks and strong, graceful bodies of these women to know that it is of benefit to them.
It has always been the aim of the various Turner societies to interest women in their work; and now nearly every Turnverein of any importance can boast a ladies' class. Not all the members of this class are young, there are a number of married women who have attended this winter and are among the most enthusiastic members of the class. In consequence of the interest women are taking in the matter the children's classes have assumed very large proportions, so much so that early in the year the classes had to be divided.
The costumes worn by the ladies are of dark blue flannel trimmed with white braid and consist of a loose belted waist and bloomers and is really very becoming. The members of the class are especially proficient in the use of Indian clubs. They are to appear at the annual exhibition the 20th of May, and will undoubtedly prove an attraction. It is also rumored that they intend to take part in the annual tournament of the turner societies of Nebraska at Plattsmouth some time in June, when the ladies' class of the Lincoln Turnvereins will be present.
A cordial invitation is hereby extended to all women interested in physical culture to call at Turner Hall, 1818 Harney Street, and Thursday evening at 8 o'clock and judge for themselves what the class has accomplished this winter.

"Should Good Nurses for Children Be Rare?"
With all the hallowed influences of a mother's presence in the nursery, she is sometimes forced to relinquish this most precious duty because of ill health, or circumstances which require her to become a breadwinner. Then the all-important question comes, whom shall she secure to take her place? How many mothers make a searching examination of the qualifications of the applicant? Too little attention is paid to the selection of the person who is to be the close companion of the little ones of the family. This is somewhat excusable since there is no bureau of information to provide the inquirers with satisfactory data, and, what is still worse, there is no place where one can be properly trained for this work except by practicing on someone's children.
Who would purchase at great cost a beautiful dress and hire a dressmaker to fashion it who had only the knowledge she had happened to acquire? Yet a nurse without any other qualifications than youth, experience, and sometimes indifference is put in charge of young children. She cuts and slashes into the child's character till it comes from her hands a misshapen thing, a misfit for every circumstance in life.
One of the crying needs of today is the establishment of schools for the training of children's nurses, providing thorough instruction in the care and physical training of children from infancy to 2 years of age. The course should include the study of child nature, children's amusements, and the kindergarten principles and gifts, with practical experience under careful supervision during the course. When finished satisfactorily, a certificate of competency should be granted. Such a school could be conducted in connection with a creche. Each person coming should be taken on trial first, and if she seemed to possess cruel, neglectful, or stupid characteristics, she should be dismissed. Such sifting would assure to the woman who wanted a nurse one with whom she could trust her children's welfare.
The nurse, though thus thoroughly equipped, would still lack one essential. This element of success could be obtained only by such intimate relations with the mother that she would imbibe the mother's enthusiasm and grasp her principles for her development.
The associate of the children should be something more than a servant. Surely, no person whom the mother considers her inferior is a fit guide and companion for her children during the most impressionable period of their lives, therefore their nurse ought to be respected, respectable, and beloved by the whole family.
If this relation could exist, many young ladies coming from good homes with high aspirations, good education, and lovely characters would cheerfully fill these places now relegated to untrained, ignorant, and incompetent persons.
I will not harrow your feelings by reciting the outrageous practices of nurses employed under the present system, for you can see for yourself any sunny day in the park of any city enough to make your heart bleed and if such things are done in public, what will not be done in the seclusion of the nursery.
Words fail to express the indignation I feel when I see mothers employing those unworthy, untrained illiterates merely to avoid care and responsibility. What reward shall she have who enslaves her child that she may be free?

complimented , but what on earth shall I
say ?
Bhall I speak as a farmer , a "Honwoman , "

Taking the last role first , I suppose there

spinster that was seldom scon outside ot
comic pictures , but lias disappeared entirely
slnco all women , married or single , have a
chance to make their lives full and happy
and successful.
I highly approve of men and have no
quorrul to ottlo with thorn. Considering
their greater strength and their power to
mnko laws and moral codes and the vantage
ground they have held so long , I think they
are behaving mighty well under the present
aggressive stress of the new woman. It
must bo a not altogether pleasant surprise ,
yat anything that woman now wants to do ,
she IB not only allowed to do , but encouraged
In doing , and there Is but little potty Jeal

Women now claim a place In every profes

and billiards ; have Imitated your dress ,
have beaten college , boys at mathematics

I owe much ot my success to the kindness

Irrigation.
In these days when a failure of rain threat
ens to retard the development of our whole
trana-MlssloslppI region , the question of Irri
gation IB of vital Interest.
The drouth has not been an unmixed evil ,
Our people have been brought to seek a
remedy and the Interest awakened will prob
ably result In a system which will rob dry
weather of Us terrors. Many have found en
couragement In the wylng , "What man has
done , man can do ; " and , 33 showing the
possibilities along this line , a look at the
work ot one or two of the oldest countries
may be profitable.
Kgypt has been called the classic land ol
Irrigation ; but , though Irrigation ha * beer
employed from remote times , no records 01
tracss remain of the ancient system. The
Nile furnishes water for all the arable land
of the country. The success of Ugyptlar
methods may be seen In the census of 1882
which Ehowb that this comparatively narrow
tract supports a population representing 5K
Inhabitants per square mile. Helglum , tin
mott densely populated land of Europj , sliowi
only 530 Inhabitants to the square mile. Thl :
great river la not subject to sudden freshets
The periodical , tropical rains slowly scm
their overflow down tbe Nile , causing tin

The woik of Irrigation In America has msfli
apld progress In the last five year * A gov
rnmont publication. Issued by Socrotar ;
tusk , gives much valuable Information a
o methods and results. This work urges th
ccesslty for thorough organization with i
roperly equipped state engineer's ofllce o
oard of water control. Hxperlmcnt ha
hewn that tha best results are attained b ;
11 water users submitting to general super
Islon both In constructions needed for stor
go and In distribution.
At present , Irrigation Is carried In slxtcfli
tato9 lying west ot the 07th meridian. 0
hese , according to statistics gathered In 1S91
California has by far the greatest acreag
indcr ditch , having over 4,000,000 acres , am
f theao nearly 3,500,000 are under cultlva
Ion.
The old-fashlcncd open ditch system ha
leen almost abandoned In California , becaus
f Its wastefulness. An Illuttratlon may b
'ound In San Bernardino county. In 18 $
hero was considered to b ? only enough wate
o Irrigate 10,000 acres In that county. Ii
890 , nrtder Improved methods for storages I
, vns estimated that 110,000 acres- might b
lupplled.
Up to 1880 , the open ditch was the * on !
method In use. In Uio decade following , th
Itches were cemente-d to save poepage. Now
n southern California , water Is distribute
Imost entirely by cemented , yltrlflcJ , woode
ir Eteel pipes.
The work In California clearly shows tha
much expense may be saved by adopting tb
best methods in the beginning. We , ot Ne

Some person with an evident analytic cas
of mind and a compass of the subject whlcl
suggests experience once said : "Tin
teacher should bo as meek as Moses , as zeal
ous as Paul , as patient as Job , as wise ai
Solomon , strong as Samson , slow to angci
and apt to teach. " A rare compound this
as the world goes , to be found In a singli
Individual , but with alight revision botl
practicable and desirable In a Board of Edu
cation. It Is but another way of expressing
thu need of broad capability and many-sided
ness.
ness.Tho work of tha board Is both buslnesi
and educational. Men through cxpcrlcnci
may claim superiority oa financiers. Whatever
over woman's work In this respect sue cer
tatnly has by nature and training a sped *
fitness for the work of education. As at
educational factor few place the Hoard o
Education , upon the plane of Important
which It deserves. Upon the board not lesi
than upon the superintendent and teachlni
force from principal to lowest primary , doe :
the efficiency and thoroughness of the educa
tlonal work depend. Teaching has reachet
the dlgnlty.- a science. It no longer mean ;
the growth of a few faculties of mind , bu
the whole mental , moral and physical development
velopment of the child. Such result can no
ba brought about save by the many-sldoi
teacher who. In all probability , will not b
selected except by a broad gauged , many
stdrd board. Woman's sympathy and enthu
slasm , watchful care and fidelity to dut ;
which , with training and experience mak
her the Ideal teacher constitute her spccla
fitness for the work of selecting teachers
i A practical educator Is better fitted to Judg
I of the merits of a teacher than Is one wh
Is Ignorant of the art. The Intense Interes
which women as mothers and teachers Ink
In the work of education heightens their fit
ness for It and Is another reason why the
should be called upon to share It In thl
broader sphere of action. In addition to thl
mainspring to bast effort women , as a rul <
have moro time to devote to the work tha
have men whose- business Interests necessai
Ily engross the greater part of their tlm

and which Is generally left undone c

would bo cheerfully and creditably done b

capable women should share with capabl
men the duties ot the Board of Educatloi
Sentiment should have no place In the ac

Mothers-in-law seem to be the bugbear i
matrimony , hut they are a perfect BUCCCI
when rightly managed. The best way to gi
along with your mother-in-law Is to inal
love to her. No matter If the old lad
looks like a cross between a South S <
Islander and a descendant of a Chinese Mai
darln , tell your wife in an audible asld
that you live In hopes that she will one da
be as good looking as her mother. If yoi
wife and she ever get Into the lesst dlspu
whether the catnip tea shall be given to tl
baby hot or cold , or any other weighty dome
tic difficulty arises , always take your mothe
In-law's part and remark to your wife th ;
when she gets as wise as her mother Is , yc
will be a happy man. Caress her on tl
sly when you are sure that your wife

the barn and turn the garden hoseon you
self to wash the sensation oft , but It wl
pay In th ? long run. It you can manage
glvo her all the Ilttlo attentions and utter
ignore your wife , you will ba surprised
nnd now soon your wlfo will Insist that si
can attend to everything herself and po
mamma need not stay any longer to botln
with her. After she Is gone , If you wl
only ask occasionally when dear mother
coming to make another visit , you will n
be Inflicted very scon again. That Is 01
way to manage a mother-in-law , If you ha'
the gall to do It , but another way , and u

Advice from Ono Who Ought to Know.
There are thousands of men whose cou
tenanccs virtually say that life Is not wh
they expected ; they are sorry they boug

The trouble with such men Is a lack

MEN
God, what men!
A time like this demands, strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands. All mankind.
EDITED BY MRS. HARKNESS C. TOWNLEY
However, however the facts we write about you, dear men, we could not live without you. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
We seize this opportunity to invoke the aid of men in an attempt to change some long-standing customs. When your relatives die, as they surely will, it is not necessary to extend thanks to thoughtful friends through the newspapers. It must be a bore to the editor. It is an absolute nuisance to the subscriber.
The same remarks are extended to lodges, with their long and labored resolutions conferring all the Christian graces on the great of it camp, in town just because he died before his fellows.
If it were not asking too much, we would beseech newspaper men to make reports of crimes and hangings and all foul business as inconspicuous and brief as possible. The paper might not sell as well in the police court as on the bottoms, but it would sell better on the heights and in the homes. We want the home, but not all, in our families.
This is what a real man does.
Who always comes home with a bright, cheerful face?
Gives the baby a kiss, his wife an embrace, raises the upper and strokes the cat, reads the paper aloud, and bang! up his feet on the planet Mars.
Who shares his purse with his better half?
Who joins her always in song and laugh?
Who tells her his secrets, his hopes and plans, and believes her mind is as big as a man's?
He lives on the planet Mars.
Thus far I had written my lingo and rhymes,
Which seemed to me giving some people and times
All a very tight cap which I hoped they'd put on.
I read them aloud to my good husband
He mumbled and glowered and turned fiery red,
And what do you think the naughty man said?
"Oh, shoot the planet Mars!"
Now John has much knowledge and wisdom and wit,
In business and politics knows what is fit,
But in learning, the poor man is much in my rear,
I said "The planet referred to, my dear,
Isn't one of the shooting stars."
A LINCOLN WOMAN.
After the Adopter of an Abandoned Farm Writes to Say.
A page for men! And I, a literary old maid, needed to send a few words for it way out to Nebraska from Massachusetts, from Metcalfe to Omaha! I am certainly complimented, but what on earth shall I say?
Shall I speak as a farmer, a homewoman, a historian, or an old maid?
Taking the last role first, I suppose there are no old maids in the west. (I wish I had gone out there thirty years ago!) We don't see anywhere now, the lank, lean, hooked-nosed, corkscrew ringletted, wasp-waisted old spinster that was seldom seen outside of comic pictures, but has disappeared entirely since all women, married or single, have a chance to make their lives full and happy and successful.
I highly approve of men and have no quarrel to offer with them. Considering their greater strength and their power to make laws and moral codes and the vantage ground they have held so long, I think they are behaving mighty well under the present aggressive stress of the new woman. It must be a not altogether pleasant surprise, yet anything that woman now wants to do, she is not only allowed to do, but encouraged in doing, and there is but little petty jealousy.
Women now claim a place in every profession. In every business, in athletic amusements. They ride "bikes," play golf, tennis, and billiards; have imitated your dress, have beaten college boys at mathematics and essay writing and declamation; have plunged into the realm of invention, architecture, and decoration; they command yachts, make capital after dinner speeches, have their own clubs, and yet the womanly heart is just about the same as over, and yet the whole feel extremely - you don't mind, on temperly proud,
I owe much of my success to the kindness of men who have appreciated my struggles and given me many a friendly lift. I don't believe in women going into politics; more are making a bad enough mess of that already. But in the matter of pay for work well done, just laws about property, the school systems of education, women will see to it that they have a vote on these questions, because what they really want, you always gallantly give to them.
That is firstly.
Secondly, as a scribbler: My present hobby is to make men aware that women have wit and humor as well as themselves. This is so seldom acknowledged that I wonder if men only read their own books, only listen to and applaud their own jokes! But I've no doubt that you progressive western men will agree with me at once, without argument, sneer, or opposition.
Thirdly, as an eastern "henwoman," prefer the Plymouth Rock variety, after experimenting largely. Also, my depressing conviction is that, owing to the way eggs and fowl are rushed in upon us from the west and Canada at the lowest possible rates, there is no money in the "misplaced hen" business for the most energetic old maid.
Finally, as a farmer, I object to our tedious and cruel winters, and to our upspringing long and uncertain as a Waterbury watch. We get things to growing about the middle of May. By the middle of September, Jack Frost destroys all. It is a hard, solemn, risky business.
That we are not yet in danger of starvation, we do not have to tear down into cyclone caves every other month, so I say perhaps we ought to be content.
If you ever got as far east as Boston, write and tell me, one and all, to call on me. Who am I? Why, me, of course. Why, for SANITARY?
Metcalfe, Mass. Raiser Hens and Garden Sanitary Agent Writes Out of Their Spacers
Dr. Mary E. Green, president of the Michigan State Economical association, in private correspondance writes very entertainingly on this subject, Through the failure of trains to connect, without choosing, stopped every in Omaha. She says; "I shall not soon forget the delightful day spent with you and your club, and the many courtesies extended to me. I am much interested to know that you are editing a paper, a thing which our club is just at present doing."
I thank you for the invitation to contribute occasionally to your column for me, I know little more than that they are half of creation which women adorn and which we, as women, wish to adorn. I am pleased to tell you that I admire them not so much that I would not wish them to be like women nor the women to be like men. I certainly admire them for the way in which they have accomplished what from time immemorial has been known as women's work. Our most noted cooks have always been men; the scientists who have invented the nutritive, economic, and scientific values of food, the greatest necessity of the human race, are men; our best dressmakers are men. It is quite evident that within a woman's "sphere" or such as they seem to think, she has no right to live but to build for herself another one.
Some men might learn a valuable lesson from the bounties of the field. We suspect that if they, the bound, were wrapped in blankets and protected from cold and air, they would be without natural coverage. Headed men, take notice.
We lately heard a man of experience say that it took much skill and practice to range a mixed pack at newspaper speeds. In fact, that it required a sort of genius. This may be true in a recent edition, with an abundance of natural at command, where the liveliest who depend upon our contributions can grace the public with our finest efforts.
THE HOLES AROK.
For the Woman's Section of The Globe.
Two lovers sat and told their story
Of a new-discovered glory;
How ground and podium the world has grown
Since each the other's help had known.
The tale was not to an ending. When the fond pair sat gray and old.
"Dear, these swift years have passed away
As briefly as a winter's day;
But half love's truth we could not say
Though we should tell and tell away." Julia Ward Howe.
Irrigation.
In these days when a failure of rain threatens to retard the development of our whole trans-Mississippi region, the question of irrigation is of vital interest.
The drought has not been an unmixed evil, our people have been brought to seek a remedy and the interest awakened will probably result in a system which will rob dry weather of its terrors. Many have found encouragement in the saying, "What man has done, man can do; " and, as showing the possibilities along this line, a look at the work of one or two of the oldest countries may be profitable.
Egypt has been called the classic land of irrigation; but, though irrigation has been employed from remote times, no records of the ancient system remain. The Nile furnishes water for all the arable land of the country. The success of Egypt's methods may be seen in the census of 1882, which shows that this comparatively narrow tract supports a population representing 5,000 inhabitants per square mile. Belgium, the most densely populated land of Europe, shows only 530 inhabitants to the square mile. This great river is not subject to sudden freshets. The periodical, tropical rains slowly see their overflow down the Nile, causing the well-known inundation. Various methods of distributing this supply have been used. The one most in favor at present is the bassin system. Water is stored in a series of bassins and emptied upon the land when needed. Wells are very little used, for, like Nebraska, Egypt, especially in the delta, often strikes salt water.
Major Powell, recently superintendent of the geological survey, is responsible for the assertion that in the countries of Asia, 70,000,000 people are supported by lands irrigated by wells.
The work of irrigation in America has made rapid progress in the last five years. A government publication, issued by Secretary Haskell, gives much valuable information as to methods and results. This work urges the necessity for thorough organization with properly equipped state engineer's offices and boards of water control. Experience has shown that the best results are attained by all water users submitting to general supervision both in construction needed for storage and in distribution.
At present, irrigation is carried on in six states lying west of the 97th meridian. According to statistics gathered in 1891, California has by far the greatest acreage under ditches, having over 4,000,000 acres, of which nearly 3,500,000 are under cultivation.
The old-fashioned open ditch system has been almost abandoned in California, because of its wastefulness. An illustration may be found in San Bernardino county. In 1886, there was considered to be only enough water to irrigate 10,000 acres in that county. In 1890, under improved methods for storage, it was estimated that 110,000 acres might be supplied.
Up to 1880, the open ditch was the only method in use. In the decade following, the ditches were cemented to save embankments. Now in southern California, water is distributed almost entirely by cemented, metallic, wooden pipes.
The work in California clearly shows that much expense may be saved by adopting the best methods in the beginning. We, of Nebraska, should profit by the experience of our sister states.
MRS. W. J. BIT VAN.
Spring Styles for Men.
The most stylish overcoat for spring weather will be considerably shorter than it was last season, a trifle looser at the waist and somewhat more ample at the bottom.
For the coming season, the length will average nineteen and a half inches at the knee and sixteen and a half to seventeen and a half at the bottom, with slight spring and lightly defined crease.
Good dressers will have at least two vests with each suit, one of the same material as the coat, and the other of a fancy material and will wear the fancy vest on bright days. In neckwear, the demand for four-in-hand continues to increase.
The most prevalent styles in variegated are those with points. These are aimed at increasing the protectors. All the revenge they can give is in calling the deep slanders "ear-cutters."
Three-inch collars were the rule at the dog show in New York last month. They were on the men.
Fancy colored shirts will be the swell thing for the coming season.
For trouserings, both checks and stripes will be in great demand. Many of the latter are very wide in effect, but the design is always so subdued that no idea of sunlight is conveyed.
In shoes, the razor toes continue to be popular. A coming style is the toe, with a decided turn-up to the toe. White kid gloves are large buttons are nubbed ideals. The browns and tans prevail, and are very handsome.
In jewelry, fobs with seals and crust in crystals are the latest fad, turtle and clam shell pins, the backs set with enamels or diamonds, are a new creation. Trilby hats are very taking.
Don't Get Up In A Bad Temper.
Man's a vapor.
Full of woes;
Cuts a caper,
Down he goes.
Old Saw,
Don't get up in the morning with a bad temper and expect it to be attributed to cold feet or the rolls.
Don't expect that dyspepsia, contracted in the disgusting habit of gobbling your food like a starving chicken, entitles you to extra consideration in the family.
Don't suppose that because you choose to barricade yourself with the morning paper and cut yourself off from table courtesies will be looked upon as a charming idiosyncrasy. Your wife will simply consider it breeding and resent it accordingly.
Don't entertain the pleasing notion that your children will take heed only of your company manners. They are sure to copy your home manners.
Don't expect that your children will love you merely because you are their father.
Don't suppose your son will take any interest in you when he is grown up, if you have taken none in him while he is growing.
Don't consider that letting him do pretty much as he pleases entitles you to his gratitude.
Don't amuse yourself with thinking that the children are any more company for you than they are for your wife. The idea is pleasing and poetical, but false.
Don't forget in accusing your wife of extravagance that you probably pay $50 for a business suit where she pays $25, and for a good suit where she pays $50.
Don't forget that though her bonnets may be expensive, they do not compare with your clerical bill, for the latter is sheer waste.
Don't rail your wife's talk as gossip and your own conversation.
Don't express the opinion that men do not compare with women as scandal mongers; the worst stories told about people in the town are told by men.
Don't go on the supposition that men are any fewer or better novelists than women.
Don't accompany your wife on the street with a cigar in your mouth. If you are a gentleman, you will not do it with any other lady and it is indecent to show that you think your wife has lowered herself by marrying you.
Don't expect to be mistaken for a gentle man if you are a mean parent; or cleaning your nails in a street car.
Don't think that when you are smoking on the front platform of a car, you are any less of a nuisance than if you were smoking within it.
Don't delude yourself with the supposition that there are one-fiftieth as many henpecked husbands in the world as bulldozed wives.
Don't expect other people to share your opinion that you are a genius. The odds are greatly in favor of their thinking you only an ass.
Don't feel entitled to the idea that you do any harder work than your wife does. The irksomeness of work is measured by its unpleasantness and she probably does a half dozen disagreeable things daily to one of that sort that you do.
Don't expect to indulge yourself in bad manners on all ordinary occasions and have good ones ready at an emergency.
Don't think a lounging room full of dead tobacco smoke is pleasant to a friend because he says he doesn't mind it.
Don't get the idea that your wishes are other people's duties.
Don't think you can wear a soiled collar to a lecture without anyone noticing it.
Don't consider that you are a student of political economy because you have read Richard T. Ely's book on the subject.
Don't let yourself think you know a great deal about the silver question because you have talked a great deal about it.
Don't harbor the conviction that the interests of your state settle the tariff question.
Don't indulge the expectation that our "Infant Industries" will ever grow up.
Don't consider your choice in perfumery good enough for the whole car.
Don't decide that your wife has hidden your necktie because you can't find it.
Don't laugh much longer at that old joke about a wife buying her husband's ties. It's due to the aged and infirm.
Don't raise that calamity howl whenever you hear of a woman being educated or doing something new. The world will move in spite of you.
Don't consider that your judgment is always better than your wife's. Generally, it isn't.
Don't wear your collars to your heels much longer under the impression that it continues to be the fashion.
Don't think you know what the weather is going to be because you have read the newspaper report.
THE QUILT AFFAIR
Am I or am I not that is the question;
Was I ago I know I was a man, but now
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Have cast me in a jeer of trouble.
Once I was a monarch of this realm
And all the weaker sex were at my bidding,
But now, alas, a thousand natural shocks
Have driven confusion made,
And what is what, or which is which, I
Now no longer plain.
The way the women do must give us pause
Ours now the pangs of love despised
Theirs the insolence of office, the pulpit
And the stage.
Whereon they harangue of their rights-
The law's delay
Of our oppression and our shameless contumacy
Till we would our quietness make with bare lookin,
Only the haunting dread that after death
In that undiscovered country they might
Still pursue
With enterprises of great pith and moment
This makes us rather bear the ills we have
Than fly to others we know not of.

Women on the Board of Education.
Some person with an evident analytic case of mind and a compass of the subject which suggests experience once said: "The teacher should be as meek as Moses, as zealous as Paul, as patient as Job, as wise as Solomon, strong as Samson, slow to anger and apt to teach." A rare compound this as the world goes, to be found in a single individual, but with a slight revision both practicable and desirable in a Board of Education. It is but another way of expressing the need of broad capability and many-sidedness.
The work of the board is both business and educational. Men through experience may claim superiority as financiers. Whatever over woman's work in this respect she certainly has by nature and training a special fitness for the work of education. As an educational factor few place the Board of Education, upon the plane of importance which it deserves. Upon the board not less than upon the superintendent and teaching force from principal to lowest primary, does the efficiency and thoroughness of the educational work depend. Teaching has reached the dignity of a science. It no longer means the growth of a few faculties of mind, but the whole mental, moral and physical development of the child. Such result can no be brought about save by the many-sided teacher who, in all probability, will not be selected except by a broad-gauged, many-storied board. Woman's sympathy and enthusiasm, watchful care and fidelity to duty, which, with training and experience, make her the ideal teacher, constitute her special fitness for the work of selecting teachers. A practical educator is better fitted to judge of the merits of a teacher than is one who is ignorant of the art. The intense interest which women as mothers and teachers take in the work of education heightens their fitness for it and is another reason why they should be called upon to share it in this broader sphere of action. In addition to this mainspring to best effort, women, as a rule, have more time to devote to the work than have men whose business interests necessarily engross the greater part of their time and attention. That personal inspection of the schools which the board should make and which is generally left undone is thrown entirely upon the superintendent would be cheerfully and creditably done by women. These are some of the reasons why capable women should share with capable men the duties of the Board of Education. Sentiment should have no place in the advocacy of women to fill this position. The cause is won if, as should be in all cases, merit and adaptability to the work in hand are made the test of membership.
EMMA B. WAGNER.
Mother-in-Law.
Mothers-in-law seem to be the bugbear in matrimony, but they are a perfect success when rightly managed. The best way to get along with your mother-in-law is to make love to her. No matter if the old lady looks like a cross between a South Sea Islander and a descendant of a Chinese Mandarin, tell your wife in an audible aside that you live in hopes that she will one day be as good-looking as her mother. If you and she ever get into the least dispute, whether the catnip tea shall be given to the baby hot or cold, or any other weighty domestic difficulty arises, always take your mother-in-law's part and remark to your wife that when she gets as wise as her mother is, you will be a happy man. Caress her on the sly when you are sure that your wife is not looking. You may have to go out behind the barn and turn the garden hose on yourself to wash the sensation off, but it will pay in the long run. If you can manage to give her all the little attentions and utterly ignore your wife, you will be surprised and soon your wife will insist that she can attend to everything herself and poor mamma need not stay any longer to bother with her. After she is gone, if you will only ask occasionally when dear mother is coming to make another visit, you will not be inflicted with her very soon again. That is one way to manage a mother-in-law, if you have the gall to do it, but another way, and undoubtedly a better, is to marry an orphan.
HOMER TO MARRY YOUR WIFE.
Advice from One Who Ought to Know.
There are thousands of men whose contentment virtually says that life is not what they expected; they are sorry they bought a ticket. They are not dyspeptics nor financial failures; they don't know how to manage their wives. They may be sharp and successful speculators on the Board of Trade or manage railroads, but their domestic relations with some two-by-four little woman, the "bête noir" of their existence. As they appreciate Satan's finesse, who, wishing to afflict Job beyond human endurance, took all his possessions except his wife and health. He knew better than to go too far, but it was the only as a counter-irritant, and Job felt that his afflictions were tempered with mercy.
The trouble with such men is a lack of tact and a deplorable ignorance of woman's nature. A woman's weak point is applying battering Rams. A man, after he has been married five or ten years, forgets how often he used to fill the air with his protestations of eternal affection, or, if he remembers, wonders how he ever could have been such an idiot. But his wife remembers.
One teaspoonful of oil will go farther to lubricate machinery than gallons of gasoline. The man who has sense enough to compliment his wife occasionally has the key to domestic happiness.
If you wish to move in the parlor set, you do pity Brown, whose wife won't let him smoke in the house. Why, if you had a wife like his, you would sit up nights to battle her. Depend upon it, you can smoke when and where you please.
Go to church with your wife occasionally. Women like to show other women what influence they have over their husbands. Did you ever see a bantam rooster proudly parade a big gosling around the barnyard? That is the same feeling a woman has when she leads a big man up a church aisle.
Tell your wife how pretty she is. It makes no difference if she is ugly enough to stop a clock, she will believe every word you say, and the returns from such a verbal investment will be 100% increase of domestic bliss.
Give your wife an allowance, something of her own, however little, so she won't have to beg every time she wants a new hairpin. To a proud woman, not being able to ask her husband for money is so humiliating as to ask her husband for money.
Women like masterful men. Alcibiades was a favorite with them. When his wife was in court seeking a divorce because he neglected her, he came in, picked her up, and carried her out without saying a word. That quashed the proceedings, and his wife was delighted.
The wife of a man who understands the judicious use of flattery will do all the work for ten or twelve in the family, dress on $15 a year, and think she is the happiest woman in the world and the possessor of the only perfect man, while her neighbor wonders how she can tolerate her chump of a husband.
A man to know is Alfred Nobel. He is not only the inventor of dynamite but also a philanthropist. He founded the Nobel Peace Prize and the Nobel Literature Prize.
They need not keep their hands in their pockets nor under their coat tails. The Turks have a charm hanging from their coat front, with which to occupy their hands when not otherwise employed. Under strict circumstances, a man is not twirling his mustache nor cleaning his finger nails in company.
The tobacco nuisance! It discharges us beyond expression! If we possessed the genius of Shakespeare, we would use it all towards the abolition of this disgraceful habit. Unless you want to see us in short skirts or trousers, have a care for street cars and side walks. Their everyday filthiness is exasperating. It is enough to invoke special legislation. In the early New England days, it would have been a subject of prayer. "Heavens! Are you men and will you suffer this?"
A man who determines to take himself out of the world in order to avoid impending business disaster is a coward. Why should he leave his wife and children to bear what he cannot, and that, too, with the disgrace of his crime added? The woman's thought, terrible as it is, of taking her children with her would seem more creditable.
The men of our Board of Education ought to know that physical symmetry and vigor and endurance are womanly as well as manly qualities. What hope is there for future generations if the physical development of boys only is sought in the High school? Where are our girl cadets?
Have you wondered why you cannot find a pair of mended hose nor a shirt with a button on it? Is it difficult to get into your coat with the sleeve linings all torn out? Never mind; the May Day edition of The Herald is all right.
An Appeal to All Reasonability.
We hear much of the new woman and the ideal woman in these days, but very little of the new man. What is he and what should he be?
George Eliot says "There's no denying the women are foolish; God Almighty made them to match the men."
In the modern revolution of women, shall we not look for and expect the evolution of the new man? Is it too much to ask that the modern man shall give as much as he takes? That he shall recognize and gladly acknowledge the efforts and desires of his sisters in the literary field, their skill in many lines of business, their tact, lutuitions, and determination?
Shall we not require and hold before the new man as high ideals of right, virtue, morality, and education as he asks of us? One bane of society today is the double standard of morals. Have not the women the right, the sacred right, to demand its extinction? We wish our husbands to be educated gentlemen in the highest sense of the word. Shall we not require as wives the same hands and as pure hearts as they claim from us?
We watch for and eagerly expect the day when, in the home life, there shall be no "menum" and "thenum," no routine inherited from our ancestors, but the utmost freedom in family cares, a just division of love and labor, an open partnership with equal responsibility of the parents for the children, and thereby an ideal home life.
In the business world, may we not look for like changes? Many things women do better than men and our brothers lead in some lines. Should they not grant to us, no grudgingly, but with full-hearted sympathy and generous assistance, what we shall take at all events?
This plea for equality, not for suffrage nor for political or business preference, but for mutual respect and recognition, we believe, is the demand of many a pure-hearted wife and mother, more for the future generation than the present.
P.D.H.
Mr. Brown's Humor and Scotchmake
Mr. Brown is a successful business man who would not be where and what he is, if he were not keen and attentive to every detail of his affairs. He is assertive and objects decidedly to being known as Mr. Brown's husband; therefore, the census taker carefully addresses him as Mr. Brown.
How many children have you, Mrs. Brown? "Well, really, eight, I believe, but Mrs. Brown will know." "How many of school age?" "Six attending school." "The names and ages, please?" "I can give you their names, but for their ages you must really call on Mr. Brown. She has a wonderful memory for dates; a truly remarkable woman."
The servant of the government steps out of the busy man's office and soon finds himself before an Ideal home. A few moments later, he is ushered into the presence of Mr. Brown, a bright, cheerful little woman, well-humored, healthy and energetic. She seems as Mr. Brown says, to have a wonderful memory. She calmly reduces the number of children as given by Mr. Brown, by one. The number eight is carefully erased and a figure seven is substituted. Yes, six children of school age. The names and ages are given without a moment's hesitation. The youngest is but six months old and has no name. The man takes his book under his arm, as he slowly walks down to the front store and out to the gate, he soliloquizes: "So the wife is a club woman, and Mr. Brown is a club woman's husband. Well, he may stay home with the babies while his wife goes to the club, but it seems to me that if he did, he would know how many children there are and could guess at their ages in round numbers."

It is by the courtesy and consideration of men that we are given the privilege and benefit of this edition, but, while in no degree forgetting this, we were hardly human if we did not improve the opportunity to suggest some facts that a few have overlooked.
It becomes every day more evident that women are thinking intelligently and with increasing acuteness on the loading question of the day. Are some of our present evils within reach of the united influence and judgment of men and women?
The question is worthy of consideration. The experiment is even being tried. In the past the so-called "creative fifth" has not contained as many names of women as men, but in the future, with equal educational advantages and varied remunerative employments, who can predict the outcome?
One point is settled. We have outgrown the sugar plum age and any little tricks and sarcasms on the new woman may be appropriately hurled back at the "fin du siècle" man.

Forty-one years ago the 2Sth day of next
Jnly the first newspaper ever born on Ne-
bratka soil opened Its eyes on the gateway
of an empire that was to be. Its birthplace
was the gnarled stump of an ancient oak ant
Is swaddling clothes the caressing winds o
the perfumed prairies.
Although crnillcd on the breast of a foster
mother , Its lusty shouts for the land of Its
adoption were loyally Iteclf and Its prophetic
forecast of the future of Omaha and the
west have more than been realized In ou
magnificent present.
It was an offspring to bo proud of nnd
taking the time , Us environments and the
object for which It was created ( to boom th
newly laid out sl'.o of Omaha City. Ne
braska Territory ) It was a most credltabl
progenitor of the great metropolitan Journal
of which our city Is so proud , no
excepting , If you please , the magnificence
of the May day edition.
It had an editor , a compositor and a devil
the latter , by the way , was the only one
except the editor , of the entire force of threa
persons who received honorary 'mention In
Omaha's first neWspapcr. Its editorial man
agcment was upon a more economical ba.Ms
than prevails at present In city journals
The entire force from editor In chief to polic
reporter was condensed Into one person
* tyled the editor , who , llko Alexander
Selkirk ,
Was monarch of nil IIP surveyed ,
He was lord of the fowl and the brute
From the land all nround to the sea ,
Ills right there was none to cll puu > .
Yet with all his onerous duties the editor's
hustlewa.3 equal to the occasion. "The
national game" was not mentioned , but the
Indian's game of La Crosse , the real pioneer
American game , was fully rcported.evcn to
stating that the umpire had been badlj
punished by Kicking Dear , who was no
pleased with his ruling.
Society events were neither numerous noi
brilliant , except In color , terra cotta am
Indian red being the prevailing shades. Ma >
day bonnets were- made up of ona or two
feathers , accprdlng to the rank of the
wcacer , and russet slices were then , as now
very popular among Omaha ladles. The hair
was arranged somewhat differently from th"
present" custom , being worn plain , without
curl or pufT , nnd dressed very low on the
neck , and ornamented with eagle feathers am
porcupine quills.
The police reporter WPS not overworked cm
thls' < first Issue of the first newspaper ever
pulilUlipd In Nebraska. With one single ex
ception , the shooting of a man In the west
ern prtrt of Iowa , not a breach of the peace
or 'nantlon of an arrest was chronicled ,
" * The politics of the paper was democratic
and Its editor was a staunch supporter of
the administration of Franklin Pierce , then
pr6sldenl of the United States. Althougl
Bonfci of the greatest questions ever raised In
American politics were at that time before
the public the editor gives less eUdence ;
Interest In that than In the local affairs
. which mote nearly concerned his new cnter-
pilso.
The editor was it Mr. J. C. Johnson , who Is
described by those who knew him as a tall
spare , wiry man , with dark hair and eyes
genial , generous , popular among his towns
people , public spirited and enterprising , am
somewhere between 35 and 10 years of age
a typical westerner of that early time. He
was a Mormon , having a real and a splritua
wife ( whatever that may mean ) and came
with Hrlgham Young from Nauvoo , III. , BO
that It Is not Impossible that women helpci
( o shape the policy of th'e first as well as the
latest newspaper In Omaha ,
Ho was the propcrletor of a flourlshlnr
gcneral'storo and also editor of a most credit
able Journal for that time , the " \Vcsteri
I' Bugle , " In IJlufTa City , la. , when he started
b this now cnterprl'e.
He was a ready writer and could write
editorials and hustle for advertisements will
equal success , but being of a restless spirit
the year following the advent of this paper
ho departed for Utah , where he died some
years later.
The first newspaper of Omaha had for Its
Immediate contemporaries "The Western
Ilugle , " mentioned above , nnd the "Frontier
Guardian , " also published at Hlufts City , anO
edited by Orson Hyde , ono of the moat In
fluential and able of the Mormon apostles.
The name of this first newspaper ever pub
lished In Omaha or Nebraska was the Omaha
Arrow , nnd Its buoyant flight proved that II
had been shot from the bow of a skillful
archer. The caption was In largo , homely ,
but unmistakable type , as may ba seen from
the accompanying cut. Under the name was
the announcement that It was a family
newspaper , devoted to the arts , sciences , gen
era ) 'literature , agriculture and politics.
InPtho left hand upper corner of the front
page was the announcement that the "Omaha
Arrow" would be published every Friday
morning , at Omaha City , Nebraska Terrl
tory.
tory.The names of the editors and proprietors
were given ns J. 13. Johnson and J. W. Pat-
' tenon and In addition to the above tills card
contained the following prices of subscrip
tion and terms of payment of the same :
1 1 copy ono year ? 2.00
3 copies ono year 5.CO
13 copies one year 20.00
It was stated that payment for the "Ar
row" must bo made Invariably In advance In
order to secure attention , and also that lettcri
on business must be prepaid. On the right
tide of the caption was the advertising rate
card. The prices for spac : ? in the "Arrow"
were about the same as quoted In the aver-
ige country weekly of today. One square ,
twelve lines or less , ono Insertion , $1 ; each
lubsequcnt Insertion , CO cents ; one square ,
) no year , $10 ; ono column per year , $ (0. (
Announcing candidates for ofilce was charged
it the uniform rate of $5 cash. For all an
nouncements or advertisements cash In ad-
rancowas Invariable , unless the actual re
sponsibility of the advertiser was known to
ixlst.
The Arrow was what Is known In news-
1 paper parlance as a Rlx-cclunm folio. It had
four pages of six columns , making twenty-
lour cohmns In all. Each column was tw enty
Inches lone , or about two Inches shorter than
i the columns of The Bee , and of the twenty-
lour thirteen were filled/ / with advertisements.
Of course It will be understood that all of
these thirteen columns were not filled with
Dmaha city advertisements , but some of them
note.
The largest advertlicments were those of
mtflUtng houses , located In St. Louis , Chi-
jago , Duhuque , la. , and other points. The
freater number of the announcements was
) f Council Illuffs firms. Among these was
found the advertisement of our fellow towns
man , Milton Rogers , and this being a fair
ample of the advertisements In the Arrow-
It Is given below at It then appeared.

Anotla-r well known name that graced the
Of tbe Arrow , was ( bat pIB. Lgyre ,
land igent. Tootle ft Jackson advertised
spring Importations at the Rlepnant ttore.
Some startling bead lines appeared over
advertisers' announcements. The following
are specimens : ,

This one was over the announcement ot &
general store , and not a saloon , as one > would
naturally think U ought to be. Another was
"Ahead of the Hounds. "
The motto of another firm w..s declared to
be : "Examine , try , then buy. "
The patent medicine "men were quite con
spicuous among the . .advertising patrons.
Vegetable pills , Panaceas , Drown's Jamaica
ginger and Perry Davis * Pain Killer made
thla department of. the paper ccem almost
modern.
Lawyer * ' cards were" unusually plentiful.
No ICM than fifteen of therrj appeared In the
first Issue of this paper. There were the an
nouncements of almost all Kinds of trades
people , merchants and professional men ex
cept doctors , but aa Uas stated that the
health of this entire region was exceptionally
good at- that time perhaps the doctors con
sidered that advertising for patients under the
circumstances would b * "love's labor lost. "
The rent estate advcrtUements were fully
up to those of "Hush City , " and the hotels
kept pace with the btfst advertisers.
The "Arrow" had no ] ealou y In Its make
up , as It contained a half column advertisement -
mont of the "IJcllovIew Palladium , " a news
paper which was soon to be btartcd at that
point.
Most of the advertisements were tlmo contract -
tract ? and quite a number were marked tf.
Examination of subsequent Issue ? disclosed
the fact that the liberal advertising patronage
accorded the first Issue ot the "Arrow" not
only continued , but was materially Increased
In future Issues.

T- I'no simile of head of first Nebraska new-pnper.
umni was of much better character than one
would expect to find in a frontier Journal
forty years ago. The variety was surpris
ing , considering the limited field to be drawn
from. The arrangement or make up was
the same that Is usually followed by news-
pipsrs of Its size.
The front page had two columns of ad
vertisements , the remaining- four being de
voted to the publication of the text of the
Kansas-Nebraska b'lll. ThU Interesting
serial was continued from week to week until
the entire bill had been published.
The second page was devoted to editorial
comment , quotations and miscellaneous mat
ter , whilst the third page was given over al
most entirely to advertisements.
The last page divided honors about equally
between reading matter and business an
nouncements.
The general appearance was rather better
than would bo expected , all things considered ,
and what Is called the mechanical part would
compare favorably with many so-called mod
ern newspapers.
The thermometer stood 103 degrees In the
shade on the day of publication , a tempera
ture which Omaha still retains , even If some
of the ancient land marks have been re-
troved. Mr. llloomcr , whose wife discovered
the famous costume which bears his name ,
visited Omaha city about that time. From
present Indications It would seem that Mr.
Bloomer reached Omaha about forty years
ahead of time.
A complete Omaha Indian costume was
offered to any person securing the largest
number of sub'crlbers for the "Arrow , " and
Omalu was then located by stating that It
was opposite Council [ Shifts , a condition
which might very properly be reversed at
the present time. From the newsy columns
of the flrst Issue of the "Arrow" we learn
that wild fruits of all kinds were exceedingly
large and very abundant that year , and that
the Omaha Indians would soon return from
their hunt and would at once begin drying
their crop of green corn.
It was also learned that there were but
six houses In Omaha at that time.
The editor seemed to believe the eastern
people would have difficulty In properly pro
nouncing the word Omaha , and In order to
assist them In giving a correct pronunciation
he submits the following taken from his
Indian dictionary : " 0-Maw-haw , " accent on
the middle syllable.
Mention was made of a regular semi
monthly packet-boat between Council Bluffs
and St. Louis , and also of a steam ferry that
crossed the Missouri at regular Intervals ,
making the trip In five minutes , and a four-
horse stage- which was run between the two
towns three times a week.
A waggish merchant appeals to his de
linquent customers In the following language :
"And the books were opened. "
"Yes , the books are opened and posted , too ,
and wo are ready to meet our neighbors and
friends and fellow citizens for settlement.
We consider It not 6hly justice to our fellow
creatures to close our llttlo matters without
waiting for the day of judgment for some of
the charges might bo hard to answer to.
"Come forward-and make a clean con
science before the last of the old year passes
away , while It Is a healthy tlmo and we
have nothing else to do. "
The following paragraphs , appeared under
the head of News Items :
"A merchant lately advertised for a clerk
'who could bear confinement. ' Ho received
an answer from ono who had been seven
years In Jail. "
"Moving for a new trial : courting a stcond
wife. "
"A young man In New York advertised for
a wife. In less than two hours we are told
eighteen married men sent In word that he
might have theirs. "
"To make an excellent Jam : Squeeze six
or eight women nowadays Into a common
stage coach. "
"A friend of our says ho would have always
remained single , but he could not afford It.
What It costs for gals and concert tickets Is
uore than he now pays to bring up a wlfo
and eight children. " Bachelors should think
of this.
"Young ladles should bo taught to play
ipou the washtub and the churn , as well as
the piano and the guitar , to darn stockings
and make lambs and lions sleep together In
: lie mlllenlum of their worsted work ; to cew
a patch upon a garment and paint pictures , "
"Don't trlflo with the affections of young
adlcs. They are Institutions that never were
established for any such purpose. If you
don't contemplate marriage certificate , and
he parson , French bedsteads , a $509.00 house
rent and a prospective home for the ( old
folks ) just tajte your hat and leave. You've
10 more right to go'in trifling with confiding
calico than a holly hock has to pass Us self
off for a rosa. "
The principal article on the second page was
he editorial announcement , from which , from
ho fact of Its being truly characteristic of
he writings of the editor of the "Arrow"
he following extracts are given below , In the
it'llef that they will be useful to the reader
n forming a better Idea of the conditions
inder which the first newspaper of Nebraska
was produced , as well as Its policy , than
could be gathered from any description how
ever accurate.
Extract from first editorial :
"Well ; strangers , friends , patrons and other
good people generally , wherever In the wide
world > our lot may be cast and In whatever
clime this arrow may reach you hero we are
on Nebraska soli , seated upon the stump of
an ancient oak which tervcs as an editorial

"Yonder comes two stalwart sons of the

approach and stand before us In our sanctum.
That dancing feather which aJonis his head

aln eagle. The aliases of the rainbow ap

attons to write In th * Arrow to the Great

The Arrow's target will bo the general In

Our cast Is decidedly "Young American" In

sovereigns of the soil. The pioneer squat

The following extract from an article en
t.tlcd "At Night In Our Sanctum" will bo
interesting , as It shows that the editor had a
> ery correct estimate of the future o
Omaha :
"Tho night stole on In the most comfort
able manner In the world as we lay on ou
buffalo robes with old Mother Earth for a
pillow and only the stars above us. In ou
dreams the busy hum from factories and the
varied branches of mechanism from Omaha
City reached our earn. The rattle of Innumerable
orablo drays over paved streets , the steaJy
tramp of 10.000 of our animated , enterprising
population , the hoarse orders from the crowi
of steamers upon the levee , loaded with the
rich products of Nebraska , and unloading
the fruits , spices and products of other
climes and soils creeled our earn.
"Far away toward the Betting sun came
telegraphic dispatches of Improvements

Pacific coast. Cars full freighted with teas
silks , etc. , from thence and passing across
the stationary channel of the Missouri river
with lightning speed hurrying on to the At
lantic seaboard. The third express train 01

thundering close by us with a shrill whistle
which brought us to our feet , knlfo In hand
Wo rubbed our eyes , looked Into the dark

Such Is an Imperfect sketch of the first
newspaper ever published In Omaha or Ne
braska , and although It was not metropoli
tan In either appearance or make-up , yet 1
fancy that It filled its place as well am'
served Its purpose to ns good advantage as
any of Its successors. It had neither edi
torial accommodations , telegraph service or
perfecting presses and yet It furnlsied the
news , such as there was to bo had , to Its
constituents and the bright ladles of Omaha
who have gotten out the magnificent number
of The May Day Bee need not blush at the
thought of the pioneer newspaper of Omaha.

A BllOWMPAPEK PARCEL.
ARMCR BROWN was out
In his garden speculating ns
to his future crops. It was
a P'easant ' sight In the early
April morning , for the sturdy
young plants had started out
with every prospect of success ; the
tender buds on the fruit trees had
been softly opening In the warm rays of the
sun , and now a brisk wind was trying a lit
tle severity to" hurry up their lazier sisters.
At the rear of the farm house In snowy
whiteness , there blossomed upon the line
the usual Monday washing , Mother Brown's
unfailing crop. On one. end of the line there
hung a vast array of long , spindly black legs ,
dancing , whirling nnd kicking In the breeze
with an abandon which would make the for
tune of a modern danseuse.
Farmer Brown gazed on his promising gar
den with a heavy heart. What are buds and
blossoms of promise to a poor dyspeptic !
And ono sad little biscuit In which soda had
been scattered , "not wisely , but too well , "
had cent the farmer from the breakfast table
with such a pessimistic view of life that his
fields looked like dreary wastes , and his
pretty home the abode of wool
JIls three children pissed him pn tlj lr way to
the village school , but It sadd > nitfi'lm afresh
to see how pale and thin they'looked. As
he paused to shut the gate afer , them , a
brown object In the middle of toeVroad caught
his eye. It was small and pik'rd , and tied
up In heavy brown paper. Ho picked It up
and started toward the house , when suddenly
a queer thought struck him. What If that
Innocent looking parcel should Contain dyna
mite ! Ho had read strange accounts of
those deadly Infernal machines , and in his
strangely nervous state , he fancied dangers
lurking In every corner.
Had not old Seth Perkins sworn to be
oven with him after that last horse trade ,
although , goodness knows , It was not his
fault that the pesky old horse sickened and
died the week after Perkins took him ?
The Police Gazette was responsible for some
of the awful visions of vengeance which
flitted through his mind and was a iulllclcnt
COUFO for the gingerly manner In which he
carried that bundle to the kitchen door for
a consultation with his wife.
"See here , Sarah , " he said to a busy In
dividual who was preparing , apparently , every
known vegetable under the sun to go In a
pot for a "boiled dinner. " "What do you
suppose this Is ? Do you think It could be
dynamite ? " "Shake It and see , " cried John
nie , who loved excitement. "Land o Goshen ,
child ! Do you want to be sent to the middle
of next week ? " said his mother , clutching
him wildly.
"Just take a llttlo peep , " said Maria , like
all girls , full of curiosity ,
"No , " said the farmer , "It may be harm
less , but I think I'll take It out and bury
It. That's the safest plan. "
But fate had decreed differently for the
brown paper parcel.
Naughty little Dick , a country-bred dog ,
who knew nothing of modern machinations
"Dick rollej It over ami over to his Joy. "
of evil , seized a propitious moment when the
farmer had gone ( or a epatle , In the twink
ling of an eye , to the horror of all behblders ,
this rash dog had torn the paper from the
package and rolled over and over It In hU
Joy. And he itlll lived. They all drew near
to Investigate further. Two gayly colored
words can ht Maria's eye and sha cried out
eagerly , 'SVhy , It's baking powder I Don't
you remember what Coutln Sarah said they
used In that funny school she went to In
Doston ? A cooking school ? "
"Well , " said Mrs. Brown , relieved from
her fearr , but feelluc this was the ridiculous
following the sublime , "cocking school or
no cooking school , It's all nonsense , and , I
It Isn't dynamite , It's plzen. "
"O. ma. please lot me try It once , " urge
Maria , who was fond of experiment * .
"Yes , " said her father , "seems a pity t
xvnato U , and , If your cooking don't turn ou
well , the pigs can have It. "
Mrs. Drown cave the desired permission
but told Maria she could get the tea hcrvell
"She would not countenance notions whlc
made clrls bellevo they know better tha
their mothers. "
As the new schoolmaster was coming t
tea that night , It was with some trepldntlo
that Maria entered her field of operations
She wan ably supported , however , by he
brothers and sisters , fcho came prepared t
jeer If she were defeated , to eat If she wer
victorious.
Mnrla had never attended one of those dc
llphtful modern Intentions called cookln
schools. Consequently , jis she stood bcfon
her Interested audience , .sifting her flour an
preparing her pans , no vision In sharp con
trast to herself was before her , of a clnlnt
woman In black , w.lth Immaculate colla
nnd cuffs and becoming cap , preparing In th
presence of a hundred housekeepers an cntlr
dinner , from soup to dessert , and standln
sercno and smiling at the end , without spec
or spot on her dainty costume. Uut no dls
turblng thoughts of easier methods or dnln
tier ways of managing her own little cookln
school came to Mnrla. Bhe upset the wate
bucket , burned her fingers , arid dropped he
pans , too excited even to rescue the bab
from a watery graved And when a final pee
In the oven revealed the bUcults , light am
flaky , nnd dellclously brown , she joyful )
arranged them on a plato and entered th
dining room , covered lth glory and flour
Young Professor \V/ood , wnltlng for hi
tea In state with fJrmer Drown and hi
wife , gazed admiringly at the pretty vlslc
of n rosy-cheeked girlj and his eyes twinkled
as lie murmured gentlr , "A simple maiden li
her Hour Is worth a hundred coat of arms. '
It uas a critical audience which sur
rounded that festive board , for stern preju
dice sat In judgment nt the head of the
tnble , and bitter experience walled solemnly
at the foot , while mild apprehension niu
vulgar curiosity were scarcely the guests to
set Maria at her ease.
Dut the piece do resistance emerged trl
umphantly from the ordeal. That Is not a
correct version , either , considering the fac
that they were utterly put to flight , nnd no
ono llttlo biscuit was left to tell the tale , o
bo given to the pigs.
Stern prejudice changed to gracious ap
proval , bitter experience gave way to the
pleasures of hope , mild apprehension was
transformed to serene satisfaction , while
vulgar curiosity paid tribute to the extent o
cloven biscuits apiece. They believed In
luck In odd numbers.
"Well. Maria , " said the farmer , "th'at's
the first meal In two weeks that ain't made
me feel as If I'd eaten shot. "
"Yes , " said .Mrs. Drown , "they're good bis
cuit ; I'll say. that for 'em , but I can't help
feeling there's plzen In 'em. "
"Give me a little of the powder , Miss
Maria , " said the professor. "I'll analyze It
and we can soon IIml out what the In
gredients are. "
The professor called In a few days am
found Maria busy over the delectable cake
she had been making. He Informed Mrs
Drown that after a through analysis he fonm
nothing Injurious In the baking powder , It
was "absolutely pure. "
"Well , then , " said Maria , "I can offer yoi
a piece of my cake with a clear conscience. '
"I was hoping you would , " said the pro
fessor , "and , If you havo.not already filled
the position , I should like to become taster
to your Royal Highness. " And , as Maria
blushed with gratification , the professor
noticed how sweet nnd womanly she was
growing. He went home with some new
sensations In his heart , and , being of an In
vestigating turn of mind , he spent the night
In a deep analysis of his emotions.
"Tlio prnfOfKor called ami found Maria busy
over a cake she hail bvcn making. "
Shortly after this Mnrla made a cake for a
church sociable , whlclt wns the admiration
of all the young men , and consequently filled
the maidens' hearts with gloom and despair.
Maria , who had never'been a leader among
the girls , found leadership thrust upon her.
They came to her for help , and , being a gen
erous girl , she willingly taught them her
new found knowledge. The grocers of the
village rejoiced In the demands for flour and
baking powder , dyspeptics took a new lease
of life , and best of all , the children In many
houses grew fat and rosy under a new re
gime of wholesome food and good cooking.
Ono summer evening Farmer Drown was
reading the paper. "Bee hero , Sarah , " he
said , "hero's an account of a man who had
dynnmtto thrown at him. It was In an olj
baking powder can , too. Now , do you won
der I was Ecart at that old brown paper
parcel last spring ? " Then he laughed.
"Well , that wasn't dynamite , but It had
some of the same powerful qualities. It'a
shattered our old prejudices , blown to pieces
our objections and caused this village to
rise -p In praise of It. I tell you , Itoyal
Daklng Pov , 'er Is a good name for It , but If
I could think of a better one It should
have It. "
Out In the vine-covered porch , where the
moon flowers , like little white ghosts , were
stealing softly forth Into the night , Maria
was saying to the professor , "How did you
come to care for me , Steven ? " And the
professor answered , laughingly , with a com
ical recollection of his first glimpse of her ,
"My dear girl , I think It was Hoval Daklng
Powder. " LIDA P. WILSON.

NEBRASKA'S FIRST PAPER
It is Published in Omaha Nearly Forty-One Years Ago,
A MOST CREDITABLE PUBLICATION
Interesting Description of Its Make-Up, Content, Object and Style The Journal The Interior, the Paper Written with Substance, Hull *
Forty-one years ago, on July 28th, the first newspaper ever born on Nebraska soil opened its eyes on the gateway of an empire that was to be. Its birthplace was the gnarled stump of an ancient oak and its swaddling clothes were the caressing winds of the perfumed prairies.
Although cradled on the breast of a foster mother, its lusty shouts for the land of its adoption were loyally re-echoed and its prophetic forecast of the future of Omaha and the west have more than been realized in our magnificent present.
It was an offspring to be proud of and taking the time, its environments and the object for which it was created (to boom the newly laid out city of Omaha, Nebraska Territory) it was a most creditable progenitor of the great metropolitan journal of which our city is so proud, no excepting, if you please, the magnificence of the May day edition.
It had an editor, a compositor and a devil (the latter, by the way, was the only one except the editor of the entire force of three persons who received honorary mention in Omaha's first newspaper. Its editorial management was upon a more economical basis than prevails at present in city journals. The entire force from editor in chief to police reporter was condensed into one person styled the editor, who, like Alexander Selkirk, was monarch of all he surveyed.
He was lord of the fowl and the brute from the land all around to the sea, his right there was none to challenge. Yet with all his onerous duties, the editor's hustle was equal to the occasion. "The national game" was not mentioned, but the Indian's game of La Crosse, the real pioneer American game, was fully reported, even to stating that the umpire had been badly punished by Kicking Bear, who was not pleased with his ruling.
Society events were neither numerous nor brilliant, except in color, terra cotta and Indian red being the prevailing shades. May day bonnets were made up of one or two feathers, according to the rank of the wearer, and russet slices were then, as now, very popular among Omaha ladies. The hair was arranged somewhat differently from the present custom, being worn plain, without curl or puff, and dressed very low on the neck, and ornamented with eagle feathers and porcupine quills.
The police reporter was not overworked on this first issue of the first newspaper ever published in Nebraska. With one single exception, the shooting of a man in the western part of Iowa, not a breach of the peace or mention of an arrest was chronicled.
The politics of the paper were democratic and its editor was a staunch supporter of the administration of Franklin Pierce, then president of the United States. Although some of the greatest questions ever raised in American politics were at that time before the public, the editor gave less evidence of interest in that than in the local affairs which more nearly concerned his new enterprise.
The editor was, Mr. J.C. Johnson, who is described by those who knew him as a tall, spare, wiry man, with dark hair and eyes, genial, generous, popular among his townspeople, public spirited and enterprising, and somewhere between 35 and 40 years of age, a typical westerner of that early time. He was a Mormon, having a real and a spiritual wife (whatever that may mean) and came with Brigham Young from Nauvoo, Ill., so that it is not impossible that women shaped the policy of the first as well as the latest newspaper in Omaha.
He was the proprietor of a flourishing general store and also editor of a most creditable journal for that time, the "Western Bugle," in St. Joseph, Mo., when he started this new enterprise.
He was a ready writer and could write editorials and hustle for advertisements with equal success, but being of a restless spirit, the year following the advent of this paper, he departed for Utah, where he died some years later.
The first newspaper of Omaha had for its immediate contemporaries "The Western Bugle," mentioned above, and the "Frontier Guardian," also published at St. Joseph, and edited by Orson Hyde, one of the most influential and able of the Mormon apostles.
The name of this first newspaper ever published in Omaha or Nebraska was the Omaha Arrow, and its buoyant flight proved that it had been shot from the bow of a skillful archer. The caption was in large, homely, but unmistakable type, as may be seen from the accompanying cut. Under the name was the announcement that it was a family newspaper, devoted to the arts, sciences, general literature, agriculture and politics.
In the left hand upper corner of the front page was the announcement that the "Omaha Arrow" would be published every Friday morning, at Omaha City, Nebraska Territory.
The names of the editors and proprietors were given as J.B. Johnson and J.W. Patterson and in addition to the above, this card contained the following prices of subscription and terms of payment of the same:
1 copy one year $2.00
3 copies one year $5.00
13 copies one year $20.00
It was stated that payment for the "Arrow" must be made invariably in advance in order to secure attention, and also that letters on business must be prepaid. On the right side of the caption was the advertising rate card. The prices for space in the "Arrow" were about the same as quoted in the average country weekly of today. One square, twelve lines or less, one insertion, $1; each subsequent insertion, 50 cents; one square, one year, $10; one column per year, $60.
Announcing candidates for office was charged at the uniform rate of $5 cash. For all announcements or advertisements, cash in advance was invariable, unless the actual responsibility of the advertiser was known to exist.
The Arrow was what is known in newspaper parlance as a "Family-Column folio." It had four pages of six columns, making twenty-four columns in all. Each column was twenty inches long, or about two inches shorter than the columns of The Bee, and of the twenty-four, thirteen were filled with advertisements.
Of course, it will be understood that all of these thirteen columns were not filled with Omaha city advertisements, but some of them were.
The largest advertisements were those of manufacturing houses, located in St. Louis, Chicago, Davenport, etc., and other points. The greater number of the announcements was from Council Bluffs firms. Among these was found the advertisement of our fellow townsman, Milton Rogers, and this being a fair example of the advertisements in the Arrow, is given below as it then appeared.

N17-IV
A noted well-known name that graced the
Of the Arrow, was that of Mr. Lgyre,
Land Agent. Tootle & Jackson advertised
spring importations at the Lieutenant store.
Some startling headline appeared over
advertisers' announcements. The following
are specimens:
THE ELEPHANT
STILL SURVIVES.
LOOK OUT! LOOK OUT!
For the Sign of the Keg at
the Corner
This one was over the announcement of
a general store, and not a saloon, as one would
naturally think it ought to be. Another was
"Ahead of the Hounds. "
The motto of another firm was declared to
be: "Examine, try, then buy. "
The patent medicine "men" were quite conspicuous
among the advertising patrons.
Vegetable pills, Panaceas, Brown's Jamaica
ginger and Perry Davis' Pain Killer made
this department of the paper seem almost
modern.
Lawyer cards were unusually plentiful.
No fewer than fifteen of them appeared in the
first Issue of this paper. There were the announcements
of almost all kinds of trades
people, merchants and professional men except
doctors, but as it has been stated that the
health of this entire region was exceptionally
good at that time perhaps the doctors considered
that advertising for patients under the
circumstances would be "love's labor lost. "
The real estate advertisements were fully
up to those of "Hush City," and the hotels
kept pace with the best advertisers.
The "Arrow" had no saloon in its make
up, as it contained a half column advertisement
of the "Bellevue Palladium," a newspaper which was soon to be started at that
point.
Most of the advertisements were time contracts
and quite a number were marked tf.
Examination of subsequent Issues disclosed
the fact that the liberal advertising patronage
accorded the first Issue of the "Arrow" not
only continued, but was materially increased
in future Issues.
The reading matter which graced the columns
of the "Arrow" was of much better character than one
would expect to find in a frontier Journal
forty years ago. The variety was surprising,
considering the limited field to be drawn
from. The arrangement or make up was
the same that is usually followed by newspapers
of its size.
The front page had two columns of advertisements,
the remaining four being devoted to the publication of the
text of the Kansas-Nebraska bill. This interesting
serial was continued from week to week until
the entire bill had been published.
The second page was devoted to editorial
comment, quotations and miscellaneous matter,
whilst the third page was given over almost entirely to advertisements.
The last page divided honors about equally
between reading matter and business announcements.
The general appearance was rather better
than would be expected, all things considered,
and what is called the mechanical part would
compare favorably with many so-called modern newspapers.
The thermometer stood 103 degrees in the
shade on the day of publication, a temperature which Omaha still retains, even if some
of the ancient landmarks have been removed. Mr. Bloomer, whose wife discovered
the famous costume which bears his name,
visited Omaha city about that time. From
present indications it would seem that Mr.
Bloomer reached Omaha about forty years
ahead of time.
A complete Omaha Indian costume was
offered to any person securing the largest
number of subscribers for the "Arrow," and
Omaha was then located by stating that It
was opposite Council Bluffs, a condition
which might very properly be reversed at
the present time. From the news columns
of the first Issue of the "Arrow" we learn
that wild fruits of all kinds were exceedingly
large and very abundant that year, and that
the Omaha Indians would soon return from
their hunt and would at once begin drying
their crop of green corn.
It was also learned that there were but
six houses in Omaha at that time.
The editor seemed to believe the eastern
people would have difficulty in properly
pronouncing the word Omaha, and in order to
assist them in giving a correct pronunciation
he submits the following taken from his
Indian dictionary: "O-Maw-haw," accent on
the middle syllable.
Mention was made of a regular semi
monthly packet-boat between Council Bluffs
and St. Louis, and also of a steam ferry that
crossed the Missouri at regular intervals,
making the trip in five minutes, and a four-
horse stage which was run between the two
towns three times a week.
A waggish merchant appeals to his delinquent customers in the following language:
"And the books were opened. "
"Yes, the books are open and posted, too,
and we are ready to meet our neighbors and
friends and fellow citizens for settlement.
We consider it not only justice to our fellow
creatures to close our little matters without
waiting for the day of judgment for some of
the charges might be hard to answer to.
"Come forward and make a clean conscience before the last of the old year passes
away, while it is a healthy time and we
have nothing else to do. "
The following paragraphs appeared under
the head of News Items:
"A merchant lately advertised for a clerk
"who could bear confinement." He received
an answer from one who had been seven
years in jail. "
"Moving for a new trial: courting a second
wife. "
"A young man in New York advertised for
a wife. In less than two hours we are told
eighteen married men sent in word that he
might have theirs. "
"To make an excellent jam: squeeze six
or eight women nowadays into a common
stagecoach. "
"A friend of ours says he would have always
remained single, but he could not afford it.
What it costs for gals and concert tickets is
more than he now pays to bring up a wife
and eight children. Bachelors should think
of this. "
"Young ladies should be taught to play
upon the washtub and the churn, as well as
the piano and the guitar, to darn stockings
and make lambs and lions sleep together in
the museum of their worsted work; to sew
a patch upon a garment and paint pictures, "
"Don't trifle with the affections of young
adles. They are institutions that never were
established for any such purpose. If you
don't contemplate marriage certificate, and
the parson, French bedsteads, a $509.00 house
rent and a prospective home for the (old
folks) just take your hat and leave. You've
no more right to go in trifling with confiding
calico than a hollyhock has to pass itself
off for a rose. "
The principal article on the second page was
the editorial announcement, from which, from
the fact of its being truly characteristic of
the writings of the editor of the "Arrow"
the following extracts are given below, in the
interest that they will be useful to the reader
in forming a better idea of the conditions
under which the first newspaper of Nebraska
was produced, as well as its policy, than
could be gathered from any description however accurate.
Extract from first editorial:
"Well; strangers, friends, patrons and other
good people generally, wherever in the wide
world our lot may be cast and in whatever
clime this arrow may reach you here we are
on Nebraska soil, seated upon the stump of
an ancient oak which serves as an editorial
chair and the top of our badly abused beaver
for a table we purpose editing a leader for
the Omaha Arrow. An elevated table-land
surrounds us. The majestic Missouri, just
off on our left, goes sweeping on its muddy
course down toward the Mexican gulf, whilst
the background of the pleasing picture is
filled up with Iowa's vast expanse, richest scenery,
"Yonder comes two stalwart sons of the
forest, bedecked in their native finery. They
approach and stand before us in our sanctum.
That dancing feather, whichalonis his head once decked the gaudy plumage of the mountain eagle. The aliases of the rainbow appear on their faces. They extend the hand of friendship with the emphatic "Cug, how this means lower are you friend?" and knowing our business, request us by signs and gestures to write in the Arrow to the Great Father that the Omahas want what he has promised them and ask us to write nothing about them. They watch the progress of our pencil while we proceed.
The Arrow's target will be the general interest of this highly favored, new, and beautiful territory upon which we have now, for the first time, established a regular weekly paper. Our staff is decidedly "Young American" in spirit and politics. We are in favor of anything that runs by steam or electricity and are the unflinching advocates of the sovereigns of the soil. The pioneer squatters and the uncivilized red man are our constituents and neighbors. The wolves and deer are our traveling companions and the wild birds and prairie winds our musicians. Surrounded by associations, circumstances, and scenes like these, what do you expect from us, anxious reader? Don't be disappointed if you do not always get that which is polished and intelligible from our pens. Take therefore what you get with a kindly heart and no grumbling.
In the support of the national democratic party, the advocacy of the Pacific railroad up the only feasible route up the Platte valley, the progress of Nebraska, and the interest of the people among whom we live - always count the Arrow flying, hitting, and cutting.
The following extract from an article entitled "At Night In Our Sanctum" will be interesting, as it shows that the editor had a very correct estimate of the future of Omaha:
"The night stole on in the most comfortable manner in the world as we lay on our buffalo robes with old Mother Earth for a pillow and only the stars above us. In our dreams the busy hum from factories and the varied branches of mechanism from Omaha reached our ears. The rattle of innumerable grable drays over paved streets, the steady tramp of 10,000 of our animated, enterprising population, the hoarse orders from the crow of steamers upon the levee, loaded with the rich products of Nebraska, and unloading the fruits, spices, and products of other climes and soils crept into our ears.
"Far away toward the setting sun came telegraphic dispatches of improvements, progress, and moral advancement upon the Pacific coast. Cars full freighted with teas, silks, etc., from thence and passing across the stationary channel of the Missouri river with lightning speed, hurrying on to the Atlantic seaboard. The third express train of the Council Bluffs & Galveston railroad came thundering close by us with a shrill whistle which brought us to our feet, knife in hand. We rubbed our eyes, looked into the darkness to see the flying train, but it had vanished and the shrill neigh of our lariat-ed horses gave indications of danger near.
"The hum of business in and around the city had also vanished and the same rude camp fires were before us. We slept again and daylight stole upon us refreshed and ready for another day's labor.
"Such is an imperfect sketch of the first newspaper ever published in Omaha or Nebraska, and although it was not metropolitan in either appearance or make-up, yet I fancy that it filled its place as well and served its purpose to us good advantage as any of its successors. It had neither editorial accommodations, telegraph service, or perfecting presses and yet it furnished the news, such as there was to be had, to its constituents and the bright ladies of Omaha who have gotten out the magnificent number of The May Day Bee need not blush at the thought of the pioneer newspaper of Omaha.
I wish to gratefully acknowledge courtesies reached at the hands of Miss O'Brien, acting librarian for the Omaha public library, and to the custodian of the Byron Reed collection.

A FARMER PAPER PARCEL.
ARMER BROWN was out in his garden speculating as to his future crops. It was a pleasant sight in the early April morning, for the sturdy young plants had started out with every prospect of success; the tender buds on the fruit trees had been softly opening in the warm rays of the sun, and now a brisk wind was trying a little severity to hurry up their lazier sisters.
At the rear of the farmhouse in snowy whiteness, there blossomed upon the line the usual Monday washing, Mother Brown's unfailing crop. On one end of the line there hung a vast array of long, spindly black legs, dancing, whirling and kicking in the breeze with an abandon which would make the fortune of a modern danseuse.
Farmer Brown gazed on his promising garden with a heavy heart. What are buds and blossoms of promise to a poor dyspeptic? And one sad little biscuit in which soda had been scattered, "not wisely, but too well," had sent the farmer from the breakfast table with such a pessimistic view of life that his fields looked like dreary wastes, and his pretty home the abode of wool.
His three children passed him on their way to the village school, but it saddened him afresh to see how pale and thin they looked. As he paused to shut the gate after them, a brown object in the middle of the road caught his eye. It was small and peculiar, and tied up in heavy brown paper. He picked it up and started toward the house, when suddenly a queer thought struck him. What if that innocent-looking parcel should contain dynamite! He had read strange accounts of those deadly infernal machines, and in his strangely nervous state, he fancied dangers lurking in every corner.
Had not old Seth Perkins sworn to be even with him after that last horse trade, although, goodness knows, it was not his fault that the pesky old horse sickened and died the week after Perkins took him? The Police Gazette was responsible for some of the awful visions of vengeance which flitted through his mind and was a sufficient cause for the gingerly manner in which he carried that bundle to the kitchen door for a consultation with his wife.
"See here, Sarah," he said to a busy individual who was preparing, apparently, every known vegetable under the sun to go in a pot for a "boiled dinner. "What do you suppose this is? Do you think it could be dynamite?" "Shake it and see," cried Johnnie, who loved excitement. "Land of Goshen, child! Do you want to be sent to the middle of next week?" said his mother, clutching him wildly.
"Just take a little peep," said Maria, like all girls, full of curiosity.
"No," said the farmer, "it may be harmless, but I think I'll take it out and bury it. That's the safest plan."
But fate had decreed differently for the brown paper parcel.
Naughty little Dick, a country-bred dog, who knew nothing of modern machinations of evil, seized a propitious moment when the farmer had gone for a nap, in the twinkling of an eye, to the horror of all beholders, this rash dog had torn the paper from the package and rolled over and over it in his joy. And he still lived. They all drew near to investigate further. Two gayly colored words caught Maria's eye and she cried out eagerly, "Why, it's baking powder! Don't you remember what Countess Sarah said they used in that funny school she went to in Boston? A cooking school?"
"Well," said Mrs. Brown, relieved from her fears, but feeling that this was the ridiculous following the sublime, "cooking school or no cooking school, it's all nonsense, and, anyway, it isn't dynamite, it's yeast."
Yes, said her father, "seems a pity," and, if your cooking don't turn out well, the pigs can have it." Mrs. Drown gave the desired permission but told Maria she could get the tea herself. "She would not countenance notions which made girls believe they know better than their mothers."
As the new schoolmaster was coming to tea that night, it was with some trepidation that Maria entered her field of operations. She was ably supported, however, by her brothers and sisters, who came prepared to jeer if she were defeated, to eat if she were victorious.
Maria had never attended one of those delightful modern institutions called cooking schools. Consequently, as she stood before her interested audience, sifting her flour and preparing her pans, no vision in sharp contrast to herself was before her, of a prim woman in black, with immaculate collar and cuffs and becoming cap, preparing in the presence of a hundred housekeepers an entire dinner, from soup to dessert, and standing serene and smiling at the end, without spot or speck on her dainty costume. But no disturbing thoughts of easier methods or dining table ways of managing her own little cooking school came to Maria. She upset the water bucket, burned her fingers, and dropped her pans, too excited even to rescue the baby from a watery grave. And when a final peep in the oven revealed the biscuits, light and flaky, and deliciously brown, she joyfully arranged them on a plate and entered the dining room, covered with glory and flour.
Young Professor Wood, waiting for his tea in state with Farmer Drown and his wife, gazed admiringly at the pretty visitor of a rosy-cheeked girl, and his eyes twinkled as he murmured gently, "A simple maiden in her hour is worth a hundred coats of arms."
It was a critical audience which surrounded that festive board, for stern prejudice sat in judgment at the head of the table, and bitter experience walled solemnly at the foot, while mild apprehension, mixed with vulgar curiosity, were scarcely the guests to set Maria at her ease.
But the piece of resistance emerged triumphantly from the ordeal. That is not a correct version, either, considering the fact that they were utterly put to flight, and not one little biscuit was left to tell the tale, or to be given to the pigs.
Stern prejudice changed to gracious approval, bitter experience gave way to the pleasures of hope, mild apprehension was transformed to serene satisfaction, while vulgar curiosity paid tribute to the extent of the cloven biscuits apiece. They believed in luck in odd numbers.
"Well, Maria," said the farmer, "that's the first meal in two weeks that ain't made me feel as if I'd eaten shot."
"Yes," said Mrs. Drown, "they're good biscuits; I'll say that for 'em, but I can't help feeling there's something in 'em."
"Give me a little of the powder, Miss Maria," said the professor. "I'll analyze it and we can soon find out what the ingredients are."
The professor called in a few days and found Maria busy over the delectable cake she had been making. He informed Mrs. Drown that after a thorough analysis he found nothing injurious in the baking powder, it was "absolutely pure."
"Well, then," said Maria, "I can offer you a piece of my cake with a clear conscience."
"I was hoping you would," said the professor, "and, if you have not already filled the position, I should like to become taster to your Royal Highness." And, as Maria blushed with gratification, the professor noticed how sweet and womanly she was growing. He went home with some new sensations in his heart, and, being of an investigating turn of mind, he spent the night in a deep analysis of his emotions.
"The professor called in and found Maria busy over a cake she had been making."
Shortly after this, Maria made a cake for a church sociable, which was the admiration of all the young men, and consequently filled the maidens' hearts with gloom and despair. Maria, who had never been a leader among the girls, found leadership thrust upon her. They came to her for help, and, being a generous girl, she willingly taught them her new-found knowledge. The grocers of the village rejoiced in the demands for flour and baking powder, dyspeptics took a new lease of life, and best of all, the children in many houses grew fat and rosy under a new regime of wholesome food and good cooking.
One summer evening, Farmer Drown was reading the paper. "See here, Sarah," he said, "here's an account of a man who had dynamite thrown at him. It was in an old baking powder can, too. Now, do you wonder I was startled at that old brown paper parcel last spring?" Then he laughed. "Well, that wasn't dynamite, but it had some of the same powerful qualities. It shattered our old prejudices, blew to pieces our objections, and caused this village to rise in praise of it. I tell you, Royal Baking Powder, it's a good name for it, but if I could think of a better one, it should have it."
Out in the vine-covered porch, where the moon flowers, like little white ghosts, were stealing softly forth into the night, Maria was saying to the professor, "How did you come to care for me, Steven?" And the professor answered, laughingly, with a comic recollection of his first glimpse of her, "My dear girl, I think it was Royal Baking Powder." LIDA P. WILSON.

Before her audience, she sings;
While liquid music seems to drip
Like honey from her dewy lip,
It melts and sinks into the ear.
There to remain a memory dear.
Of song and her,

A hammock holds that slender maid;
A shadow veils her dreamy eyes,
Her parted lips breathe gentle sighs;
One steady arm supports her head;
She sleeps: All consciousness has fled

All sounds were hushed, the moon's soft
Stole through the curtains of the night.

My doom. She said she was engaged;
And laughed, I thought.

Origin of the Biscuit.
After the fall of the Roman empire the sexes started about even in the matter of clothes. Our Teutonic ancestors adopted a costume which was almost the same for men and women, and consisted of two main garments, the Roman tunica and toga. The tunica was virtually a shirt with long sleeves, and was buckled at the waist. The men wore it reaching to the knee, and the women to the ankles. In colder climates, the men, as a great innovation, added trousers, but these were looked upon in the light of a distinct extra, and were not considered obligatory in hot weather: There seems to be no doubt that the blouse of the modern peasant is a direct descendant of the tunica, Lippincott's Magazine.

HISTORICAL. This business was established in Omaha by Milton Rogers in June, and was first located on the north side of Fremont Street in a two-story cotton wood store building. In the reproduction of Omaha's first newspaper, the "Omaha Arrow," may be seen our advertisement as it appeared at that time. In 1858 the business was moved to a store room in the "Pioneer Block," a brick building on the north side of Fremont Street between 10th and 11th streets. In 1886 (Mr. Rogers bought the lot corner of 12th and Binney Street, the present location, for $100 and built a frame store 30 x 60 feet, where the business was conducted until the Central Block was completed and finished, when in June, 1887, the corner store of that block was occupied. In 1889 Mr. Rogers bought the property on joining the corner of T. 14th, one of Omaha's first druggists, and since that date the entire building has been used for the business of the firm exclusively. This brick is now the only one in the "Central Block" of the original occupants or owners. During the continuous successful business career of 60 years we have maintained a reputation for liberal and fair dealing and as selling only the best grade of goods at the lowest prices consistent with good quality, and are now recognized as the largest and leading establishment in our line in this country.

LONDON , May L In iplle of the state
ment which emanated yesterday from the
foreign offlcs that there had been no change
In Ihe allllude of Great Britain toward
Nicaragua , It Is learned today that Great
Britain has agreed to the proposed settle
ment of her dispute with Nicaragua If the
payment of Indemnity Is guarantesd. In this
case the British fleet will Immediately be
withdrawn from Corlnto.
WASHINGTON , May 1. The guarantee
of the payment by Nicaragua of the Indem
nity as required by Great Britain will bs
made In the amplest manner possible , so that
there appears to be no further obstacle be
tween the two countries as to a final ad-
Justment. Th3 guaranlcc will bo In ono of
several forJra , as follows :
1. The promise of Iho Nlcaraguan govern-
menl , which , In view of Iho fact that the
government has never defaulted In Its ob-
llgallons , IB of llsclf regarded as a guar-
antte.
2. The Bank of Nicaragua , a nallonal In
stitution , with recognized standing In Lon
don , will , If need be , give the guarantee.
3. The republic of Guatemala , one of the
richest of Central American stales , stands
ready lo deposll 15,500 In a London bank If
Nicaragua desires the favor.
4. The Nicaragua Canal company , whose
word In London would bo accepted In the
highest financial circles , will give either a
guarantee or the cash , If need be.
Besides these guarantees , any one of which
Is available , and Is regarded as ample , the
Nlcaraguan authorities are said to have the
actual funds Immediately available , without
calling for outside help. A guarantee by
Iho Unlled Stalei Is not regarded as esien-
tlal under the foregoing circumstances.
TO EVACUATE AT ONCE.
The final proposition , as now concluded be
tween Nicaragua and Great Britain , will
therefore be as follows :
Great Britain Immediately agrees to evac
uate Corlnto and withdraw her fleet. Nica
ragua agrees to pay Ihe 15,600 In Lender
wilhln fifteen days from the sailing of th (
Heel from Corlnto. According lo Ihe3 (
lerms Ihe flfUen days does not begin to rur
until the actual sailing of the fteel. Tin
Jailer fealure was Insisted upon by Nlcaragu :
as a means of checking popular agitation am
as a step toward maintaining her dignity.
Dr. Guzman called at the Stale depart
ment nl 11 o'clock loday. Up to that tlm <
ho had not received official confirmation o :
Great Britain's acceptance , although the cor
redness of the unofficial advices was no :
questioned.
From the British standpoint the accept
ance of the compromise and the Immexllati
evacuation of Corlnto establishes the. gooc
tfalth of Great Britain In her declarator
that there was no purpose of occupying ter
rllory. From Ihe first the Brlllsh author
itles have assured Ambassador Bayard , am
the latter has so advised Secretary GreSham
lhat there was no purpose of aggression o
ot securing a foothold In Nicaragua. Tin
only purpose , Earl Klmbcrly has said , waite
to collect a debt by such force as was neces
sary and then depart. Nicaragua , nolwlth
standing Ihcse assurances , has rualnlalnei
the collection of $77,500 was merely a cover
means of occupying her terrllory. This vlev
has prevailed very widely here , even In som
official quarters , allhough Ihe policy of thi
government has been to accept the gooi
faith of Great Britain's repressntatlons.
The withdrawal of the troops from Corlnt
and Ihe departure of Ihe fleet not only end
all questions of Brillsh territorial cxlenslo :
In Nicaragua , but It also puts at resl Ih
fears entertained that Ihc control of Ih
Nicaragua canal route would be serious ) ;
affccled by the proximity of British forces.
EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN COSTLY.
The affair has cost Nicaragua more thai
the original $77,500. II was necessary I
ralso 3,000 extra troops , at a cost of $3,00
per day. The abandonment ot Corlnto as
customs port has also resulted In much loss
The disturbance to business and coir.tnerc
Is a loss which cannot bo nu-asurcd In del
tars and cents. If the present governmen
of Nicaragua falls It Is conlcnded lhat I
will not be possible to adjust th ? claims c
Great Britain , and that It would probab * .

Cnso Holding Over to the Next Court
LONDON , Slay 1. In the Old Bailey court
loday Juet.ce Charles summed up Ihe case
against Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor. The
justice , In so doing , said that counsel for
the prosecution acted wisely In withdrawing
the charge of conspiracy against Wilde , as
hu , Justice Charles , would have ordered the
jury lo bring In a verdict of not guilty on
that specification. Ho admitted tiiat there
was no corroborallon of Iho witnesses , but
Ihe Jury , he added , would have to weigh
the characters of men llko Parker , Wood
and Atkins , whom Sir Edward Clarke , . In
the justice's opinion , properly described as
blackmailers. The justice also urged that
the Jury bo not Influenced by Wilde's writIngs -
Ings , saying thai many gentlemen had written -
ten Indecently.
The Jury rcllred at 1:30 : p. m. After luncli
the Jury resumed their deliberations ani
afterward returned and announced thai Inert
was no posslblllly of coming to nn agree
ment.
Counsel for the prisoners then made applj-
cation for ball , but It was refused and
fresh Jury will probably be summoned.
When the news of the dlsagreemenl
reached the outside of the court there wai
great excitement among the crowds In thi
streets , and the extra editions of the evenlnj
papers which were Issued within a few mln
Ulcs after the result of the trial were bough
up quickly. When Sir Edward Clarke , coun
scl for Wilde , asked for ball , Jus
tlco Charles said that the . appll
cation must be made In chain
bers. Wilde will bo tried again at the nexi
session ot the central criminal court
Throughout the proceedings today he wai
very _ pale , but lie did not show any signs c
elation when Ihe result of ths dellb3ratlon !
? of the Jury were made known. As Sir Ed
ward Clarke , counsel for -the prisoner , lof
the court he was heard to rcoiark : "Trutl
Is mighty and will prevail. "
There was a great.crowd outside the Oli
Bailey during the last slags' of Ihe famoui
0 for or against the prisoner upon the part o
the populace. In spite of this Wilde wai
kept In the prisoners' room of the court fo
an hour after the adjournment , or until th
crowds had dispersed , before being taken ti

ton train coming Into this city. For some
days past a gang of rough men have been
lianglng around St. George , a suburb of this
city. Last evening information was brought
to the Burlington officials that the Omaha
express was to be held up. William Haag ,
the hotel man , furnished the Information
and the officers sent guards , who frustrated
the design. Late this evening while Illchard
Ran , an employe of Haag , was sitting In the
bar of Haag's place Thomas Farral , one of
the gang , stepped Insldo the door , while his
partner , who gives the name of Dan Howard ,
watched on the outside. Farral stepped up
to Ron and without a word shot him through
the stomach , Inflicting a fatal wound. As
Farral went out the door he yelled to his
partner : " 1 liavo shot the wrong man , " real
izing that he had failed to get Haag , who
had given the Information.

SAN FRANCISCO , May l.-jtho Inquest on
the body of Blanche Lament occupied less
than three hours today , but the evidence de
veloped was considered convincing , and the
Jury returned a verdict charging Theodore
Durrani with the murder. Until today no
ono has been produced who saw Durrani In
the vicinity of EmanucI Baptist church with
the murdered-glrl on the aflcrnoon of April
3. This missing link , seemingly all that was
lacking to complete the chain of circum
stances fastening the terrible church crimes
on the medical student , was supplied at the
Inquest. Martin Qutnlan , an attorney , gave
direct and positive testimony'that he saw
Durrani and a girl , tallying exactly with the
description of Blanche Lamonl , walking to
ward the church and only a few yards dis
tant at 4:15 : o'clock on the afternoon she dis
appeared. Quintan explained that he was
waiting to keep an appointment with ono
Clark , who corroborated Qulnlan's statement.
These witnesses furnished the sensational
feature of the Inquest , but Durrani main
tained his stolid Indifference during the tes
timony. The police and dlMrlct ntlorney
are confident of a conviction , stating they
did not put In nearly all of their case at the
Inquest.
Mrs. C. G. Noble , aunt ot the murdered
girl , testified as to the frequency of Dur
rani's visits at her house , nnd his attentions
to her niece. Durrani had proposed mar
riage to Blanche last December , but had been
refused when the girl learned ho was en
gaged to another woman , -
C. G. Noble , undo of Blanche , testified
Durrani had suggested after tier disappear
ance that Blanche was probably In a house of
111 fame , and offered to search for her.
A street car conductor and three school
girls Indcntlfled Durrani as the man who es
corted Blanche from the school , laklng the
car lo Ihc polnl of transfer en route to her
home.
G. R. King , organist of Emanucl church ,
with evident efforts to shield Durrani , laid
the story of seeing him In Ihc church faint
and sick late on Ihe afternoon Blanche Lament -
mont disappeared.
Dr. J. S. Barret , who performed the nn-
lopsy , staled Blanche died of asphyxiation.
Ho said It was Impossible for her to have
been In a delicate condition. Seven of the
slranglcr's ftngernalf wounds were on ono
side of her neck and five on Iho olher.
Delccllvcs lold of Durra'nt's statemenls
concerning his whereabouts the day Blanche
disappeared , and of his seeming fear to ac
knowledge the extenl of his acquaintance
with her and the case went to the Jury.

About 100 yards cast of the Armstrong

The next place visited was the home of
Captain William White , which was only
partly destroyed , one wing of the house
bIng torn away. Across the road from
White's the home of Cyrus Hlnkston was en
tirely carried away. Sir. Hlnkston received
painful , but not serious , Injuries. Spencer

and was carried away , as were also the
homes of A. S. Powell , J. A. Comas , An

At the Hego district school the children
had Just been dismissed. Hege saw the
storm approaching and , fearing Its results ,
hurried the scholars to his cyclone cellar.
His forelhoughl prevented an awful disaster ,
for Just as the last child had besn safely
slowed In Ihe cellar Iho cyclone slruck Ihe
house over Ihem and demolished It. As It
was not one of them was even slightly In

The fury of Iho storm seems to have done
Its worst about five miles west of Ilalstead ,
where all six of the persons were killed.
Dead horses and cattle and hogs are scat-
lered all over the > wheat fields near the Frlz
zel home. Those who first saw the disaster
coming say It made very slow progress , not
traveling faster than a i > erson could run.
AT LEAST EIGHT WILL DIE.
The storm seemed to waver first In ono
direction nnd then In another , as far as heard
from covering a distance of sixteen miles
across the country from southwest lo north-
east. Twenty residences , nearly all of them
largo ones , were completely destroyed. The
loss will nol be less than $200,000 , besides the
six deaths and the Injured , two or three ol
whom will probably die. Physicians from
Wichita went to the relief of the Injured and
local assistance Is being given to the suffer
ing families. People In the track of the
storm lost everything o"nd outside aid will
probably have to be called for.
The storm crossed the Santa Fo rallroac
about three miles west of Ilalstead. Th (
engineer of a westbound through Pacific ex-
e press saw a twlsllng slorm coming from UK

This prompt action prevented a wreck , foi
the train would certainly have slruck Ihi

The pathway Is strewn with the wreckage
of houses , barns and outbuildings , nmonf
which are the carcasses of hundreds of deai
horses and other animals. Trees In the patt

CHICAGO , May 1. A receiver has been
appointed for the American Water 'Works
company of Illinois. The appointment was
made- upon the application of the Holly
Manufacturing company of Lockport , N. Y.
The Illinois corporation was organized In
1SS7 with a capital of $000,000 to c < iulp water
works In cities and towns and to deal In
stocks of other corporations. Afterwards
the capital stock was Increased to $5,000,000.
It acquired a large amount of property In
Douglas county , Nebraska , consisting of
water works , by which the cities of Omaha ,
South Omaha and Florence and the adjoin
ing country were supplied with water. The.
company Issued bonds to a large amount ,
which were secured by a mortgage on Its
property. The Illinois company also further
engaged In the business of building and Im
proving water works under contracts , In all
amounting to upwards of $200,000 , and made
largo profits , paying to Its stockholders $300-
000 In dividends.
AVhlle engaged In business , the court Is
told , the Illinois company became Indebted
to the complainant to a largo extent. In
April , 1S91 , It Is averred that the Illinois
company sold and transferred all Its property
to the American Water Works company of
Now Jersey , except a portion consisting
principally of negotiable mortgage bonds re-
colved by It amounting to $240,000 , face
value. The Illinois company also sold , It Is
claimed , to C. H. Vcnner & Co. , at SO cents
on the dollar , a large majority of Us stocks ,
.nit with the proceeds thereof the firm of
"enner & Co. agreed to pay an Indebtedness
f the Illinois company. Since Its transfer
o the New Jersey company , the court Is
old , the Illinois company had ceased to do
uslness or to own any property , leaving
ebts unpaid , particularly that of the com-
lalnant. The complainant avers that all the
apltal stock of the Illinois company Is now
wncd by the New Jersey company , and that
"le latter company Is liable for the unpaid
lortlon of the Illinois company stock.

"Whom do you favor for the prcs'dency ? "
"I am from New York state and we are

"Ohio ought to bo for Governor McKlnley ;

"As I said before , It Is altogether too early

"There will bo but one Issue. Hard times

DEADWOOD , May 1. ( Special Tele-
pram. ) In the circuit court of the Eighth
Judicial district today was decided a cace
of much Interest to holders of Lawrence
county bonds of date of 1SS9 , drawing-
per cent interest. The case ns originally
brought was for the purpose of compelling
Menilo county , which wris organized from
Lawrence , to pay Its proportion of Indebt
edness Incurred while It wna dill n portion
of Lawrence county , but Incidentally It In
volves the legality of the Issue of $300,000
worth of bonds , mostly held by eastern
parties. The decision declared that the Is
sue was made Illegally , the Issue having ex
ceeded the limit of Indebtedness fixed by
congress , and , although the territorial leg
islature of Dakota ut Its next succeeding
session passed a law authoilzlng Lawrence
county to use the money raised by the sale
of such bonds , the Judge holds that the
debt Is null and void , the legislature not
having authority to penult It. It Is nol
thought , however , that Lawrence county
will sctk to take advantage of this do-
Islon and repudiate n Just debt , there bo
ng but $200,000 of the bonds now outstand

action must be taken at once. Urickluyen
who had hodcarrlers at work cannot pro

the only point was that the money of the

and that the bondsmen were liable for Iho

But a great deal ot evidence was adduced
going to show the Insolvency of the Capital

attempting to connect Defendant Hill with

John H. Alford was called lo the stand by
Judge Wakeley. Alford Is bookkeeper In the
state treasurer's ofllce , nnd was In January ,
1891. He had with him a day book or Jour
nal , and wns asked to show Ihe balance of
slate money on hand January 8 , 1891.
Sir. Wheedon objecled on the ground that
lie journal had nol been placed In evidence ,
udgo Wakeley offered it as evidence.
Witness was asked to point out Iho balance
f state money on hand January 8 , 1891.
Sir. Wheedon again objected on the ground
hat no foundation had been laid for the
estlmony , thai It was also Immaterial at
Ills tlmo. Judge Broady also objected on
ho ground that the testimony was Irrel-
vant.
The court sustained the objection , and ad-
Ised Judge Wakeley to more fully lay Ilia
roper foundation for Iho Introduction of the
estlmony , which was done , witness cxplaln-
ng the character of Ihe book ajul Its rela-
lon to Die office ot Ihe slate treasurer.

ntrles , which showed receipts of $1,692,733 and
"Isburssmenls ot $161,014.57 , leaving a bal-
nco of $1,530,788.43.
General Cowln asked the court If the de-
enso could be permitted to object to evidence
n. general at any time , without lumbering up
ho record with continual objections to detail ,
'ho defense at this lime objected to the In- ,
reduction "of the book and all cvldciica con-
iccted with it.
H was held by the court thai objections
oulil b3 made by the defense at any time ,
udge Wakclry then announced thai the tes-
Imony for the state was practically all In.
General Cowln asked Witness Alford If
he journal was the book of original entries.
Vltncss said lhat It was.
"How long did this account run which
hews this balance of $1,530,788.43 ? "
"From November 30 , 1880. "
"Was this account made up of certificates

"I know nothing of certificates of deposit ,
ir cash. Thai Is oul of my province. "
"Then all you know Is thnt this record
s a showing of amounts received from county
reasurcrs and deposited In banks ? "
"Yes , sir. "
"In what shape are these amounts which
nake up this balance paid In ? " ,
"In cheeks , drafts , exchange and currency , J3
but with these In detail I have nothing to do. " . " , ]
On redirect examination Judge v3
Wakeley asked witness If there ' > ]
ivas any stalment made up from

c'eded himself different from what It Is when
he treasurer Is succeeded by another man.
iVItncPs replied that there wns no differ
ence. The books were a continuous record
'rom day to day and year to year.
Resuming the cross-examination , General
Jowln Inquired It theio was a cash book kept
n Iho olllco of Ihe treasurer or any olher
xiok containing a similar showing. Witness
evaded this question by saying It was a mat
ter with which ho had nothing to do.
"But Is there not a cash book In the of
fice ? " persisted General Cowln.
'That I never touch , " replied the wltneu ,
and he was excused amid considerable morrl-
mcut.
TESTIMONY OF THE AUDITOR.
Stale Auditor Eugene Moore said that ha

fied his signature on a statement of the con
dition ot rtio stale's funds on lhat date , and
Iho documenl was placed In evidence by
Judge Wokclay. Bui he afterward corrected
himself and said ho desired to offer only a
portion of Iho statement. Judge Broady ob
jected to any of It going In as evidence un
less all of it be offered.
The court overruled the objection , saying
that If the defense wished to offer the bal
ance of Ihe documenl U nilgai , bill the court
held thai now was not the proper tlmo. Sir.
Wheedon began a cross-examination of Audi
tor Stoore prior lo the direct , but did not
long continue It.
Judge Wakeley offered In evidence another
document purporting to bo a statement of tha
state's financial condition from January 1 t" ,
30 , 1893. Witness Identified the signature ot
John E. Hill.
Sir. Wheedon drew from witness that ho

liability ot the elalcment otherwise than tha
signature of Hill. There were three cop leu
made , ono for the auditor , ono for the In
coming treasurer , and one for the outgoing
treasurer.
Sir. Wheedon , on cross ] examination , asked
what luie hadlbeen made ot the paper. Beforft
witness could aiuwer Judge Wakeley objected
on Iho ground of Improper cross-examination
and wan sustained. But Mr. Wheedon drew
out that them were endorsements on the
back of the paper which had not been ( hero
when he went out of office.

CORINTO TO BE EVACUATED
Hostages Offered by Nicaragua Satisfactory to the English,
MONEY READY TO MAKE THE PAYMENT
Experience has been a Costly One to the Southern Republic of Nicaragua They Are Not After Territorial Expansion.
LONDON, May L In spite of the statement which emanated yesterday from the foreign offices that there had been no change in the allusion of Great Britain toward Nicaragua, It is learned today that Great Britain has agreed to the proposed settlement of her dispute with Nicaragua. If the payment of Indemnity is guaranteed, in this case the British fleet will immediately be withdrawn from Corinto.
WASHINGTON, May 1. The guarantee of the payment by Nicaragua of the Indemnity as required by Great Britain will be made in the amplest manner possible, so that there appears to be no further obstacle between the two countries as to a final adjustment. The guarantee will be in one of several forms, as follows:
1. The promise of the Nicaraguan government, which, in view of the fact that the government has never defaulted in its obligations, is of its own regarded as a guarantee.
2. The Bank of Nicaragua, a national institution, with recognized standing in London, will, if need be, give the guarantee.
3. The republic of Guatemala, one of the richest of Central American states, stands ready to deposit $15,500 in a London bank if Nicaragua desires the favor.
4. The Nicaragua Canal company, whose word in London would be accepted in the highest financial circles, will give either a guarantee or the cash, if need be.
Besides these guarantees, any one of which is available, and is regarded as ample, the Nicaraguan authorities are said to have the actual funds immediately available, without calling for outside help. A guarantee by the United States is not regarded as essential under the foregoing circumstances.
TO EVACUATE AT ONCE.
The final proposition, as now concluded between Nicaragua and Great Britain, will therefore be as follows:
Great Britain immediately agrees to evacuate Corinto and withdraw her fleet. Nicaragua agrees to pay the $15,600 within fifteen days from the sailing of the fleet from Corinto. According to the terms, the fifteen days does not begin to run until the actual sailing of the fleet. The fifteen-day ultimatum was insisted upon by Nicaragua as a means of checking popular agitation and as a step toward maintaining her dignity.
Dr. Guzman called at the State department at 11 o'clock today. Up to that time, he had not received official confirmation of Great Britain's acceptance, although the correctness of the unofficial advices was not questioned.
From the British standpoint, the acceptance of the compromise and the immediate evacuation of Corinto establishes the good faith of Great Britain in her declaration that there was no purpose of occupying territory. From the first, the British authorities have assured Ambassador Bayard, and the latter has so advised Secretary Gresham that there was no purpose of aggression or securing a foothold in Nicaragua. The only purpose, Earl Kimberley has said, was to collect a debt by such force as was necessary and then depart. Nicaragua, notwithstanding these assurances, has maintained that the collection of $77,500 was merely a cover for occupying her territory. This view has prevailed very widely here, even in some official quarters, although the policy of the government has been to accept the good faith of Great Britain's representations.
The withdrawal of the troops from Corinto and the departure of the fleet not only ends all questions of British territorial extension in Nicaragua, but it also puts at rest the fears entertained that the control of the Nicaragua canal route would be seriously affected by the proximity of British forces.
EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN COSTLY.
The affair has cost Nicaragua more than the original $77,500. It was necessary also to call out 3,000 extra troops, at a cost of $3,000 per day. The abandonment of Corinto as a customs port has also resulted in much loss.
The disturbance to business and commerce is a loss which cannot be measured in dollars and cents. If the present government of Nicaragua falls, it is concluded that it will not be possible to adjust the claims of Great Britain, and that it would probably provoke an armed conflict.
LIEUTENANT SHOT FOR SURRENDERING SPANISH SOLDIERS
Cuban Authorities Take an Exception to One Who Miraculously Escaped Death.
HAVANA, May 1. Lieutenant Gatling, who surrendered fifty Spanish soldiers to the rebels and who was afterward arrested and sentenced to be shot by a court martial, was shot today in the fortress of Cabana here. Lieutenant Valentine Gallegos should not be confused with Lieutenant Commander DenJ in Gallegos of the Peninsula regiment, who was recently tried by court martial and shot at Santiago for allowing the rebels to surprise him in a saloon at Juragua City.
Marshal de Campos has issued a proclamation in which he says it is the first time in the history of his military life that he has known a Spanish officer to be executed for cowardice. The captain general, in order to give work to the unemployed and thus prevent any discontented and idle persons from joining issue with the rebels, has ordered the commencement of a number of public works, which, it is hoped, will result in material benefits to the island and to the laboring classes. During the absence of Campos, General Jose Ardenas will act as captain general.
JAPAN MUST GIVE HER FINAL ANSWER IN A WEEK; May 7 the Interrogatory by Roosevelt for a Reply to Her Demands.
NEW YORK, May 2. A special to the World from Tokyo says: Japan must give her final answer to Russia by May 7. The suspense and anxiety is terrible. Nothing is known, everything is dreaded. Whether mediation by the United States was effectively discussed in November by the authorities at Washington and Tokyo, President Cleveland prophesied a league of the European powers to deprive Japan of the fruits of her victory would be brought into existence. Thereafter the powers were carefully notified of the Japanese intentions. No opposition was ever manifested. The blow was reserved until the treaty of peace had been signed. Viscount Matsui, the minister of foreign affairs, is desperately ill.
OUTSIDE OF EUROPE
Notes and Comment from Nicaragua,
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, May 1. (Via Ga. Steamship Co., Tex.) Officers belonging to the British fleet were ashore yesterday at San Juan del Sur, the small port near which the Pacific entrance of the Nicaragua canal is to be built. It was noticed that they were making measurements and topographic sketches of the land, and were also apparently making observations along the route to be followed by the canal along the line from the Pacific to Lake Nicaragua. The officers also marked and took notes about Brito, and though ordered to leave by the Nicaraguan governor, here, continued their work and refused to return on board ship.
HEAVY VICTORY OF THE SAVOYARD
Universal Demonstration Lacking in Most European Cities.
LONDON, May 1. There were few noteworthy May day features here today. There was the usual cart horse parade. Otherwise London wore its normal aspect. The social democrats and laborites made a demonstration in Hyde park during the afternoon. Reports received here from various trade towns in different parts of the continent show that work proceeded as usual today, as a rule. There were a few small socialist labor meetings, but incidents of importance have been scarce.
PARIS, May 1. The stores were open here today, May day, and traffic through the streets was as usual. Only a few factories were closed.
LISBON, May 1. Work was at a complete standstill here owing to the fact that May day was generally celebrated. Crowds of people witnessed the customary procession in honor of the occasion.
MADRID, May 1. Work proceeded here as usual and there was little or no attempt to observe May day.
VIENNA, May 1. The socialists of this city today held an enormous demonstration, but the proceedings were orderly. The program included a march past the parliament building. The paraders were two hours in passing, after which they proceeded to enjoy themselves in the Prater, a park and forest outside the city. It is estimated 30,000 persons took part in the demonstration.
Most of the private factories were closed today in order to allow the employees to celebrate May day, but the government workshops were open. About 30,000 men attended May day meetings here and in the neighborhood. The usual resolutions favoring eight hours as a legal day's work, freedom of speech and universal suffrage were adopted.
In the Melding district, a crowd of people stoned the police and several arrests were made.
LIEGE, Belgium, May 1. The city was today the scene of a disorderly demonstration in connection with the May day celebration. One of the participants in the disorder was arrested. One of the prisoners struck and knocked down a policeman. The latter sprang to his feet and cut his assailant down with his sword.
DISAGREEMENT IN THE WILDE CASE: Jury Holding Over to the Next Court
LONDON, May 1. In the Old Bailey court today Justice Charles summed up the case against Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor. The justice, in so doing, said that counsel for the prosecution acted wisely in withdrawing the charge of conspiracy against Wilde, as he, Justice Charles, would have ordered the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty on that specification. He admitted that there was no corroboration of the witnesses, but the jury, he added, would have to weigh the characters of men like Parker, Wood and Atkins, whom Sir Edward Clarke, in the justice's opinion, properly described as blackmailers. The justice also urged that the jury be not influenced by Wilde's writings, saying that many gentlemen had written indecently.
The jury retired at 1:30 p.m. After lunch the jury resumed their deliberations and afterward returned and announced that there was no possibility of coming to an agreement.
Counsel for the prisoners then made application for bail, but it was refused and fresh jurors will probably be summoned.
When the news of the disagreement reached the outside of the court there was great excitement among the crowds in the streets, and the extra editions of the evening papers which were issued within a few minutes after the result of the trial were bought up quickly. When Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for Wilde, asked for bail, Justice Charles said that the application must be made in chambers. Wilde will be tried again at the next session of the central criminal court.
Throughout the proceedings today he was very pale, but he did not show any signs of emotion when the result of the deliberations of the jury were made known. As Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for the prisoner, left the court he was heard to remark: "Truth is mighty and will prevail."
There was a great crowd outside the Old Bailey during the last stages of the famous case for or against the prisoner upon the part of the populace. In spite of this Wilde was kept in the prisoners' room of the court for an hour after the adjournment, or until the crowds had dispersed, before being taken to the Holloway Jail.
DULUTH DOCTOR TREATS DUKE OF ORLEANS
LONDON, May 1. The physician in attendance upon the duke of Orleans, head of the royal house of France, who figured his leg by a fall from his horse at Seville, Spain, on Friday last, has telegraphed to the duke's relatives, saying his condition is serious. The Seville Herald states that the duke's temperature is over 102. The wedding of the sister of the duke of Orleans, Princess Helene, to the duke of Aosta, which was to have taken place during the present month, has been indefinitely postponed, and the countess of Paris, mother of the duke of Orleans and Princess Helene, will start immediately for Spain.
THE TREATY HAS NOT YET BEEN RATIFIED
LONDON, May 1. A dispatch to the Times from Peking says: No decision has yet been reached in regard to the ratification of the treaty of peace. Li Hung Chang, the senior Chinese peace envoy, has arrived in Peking and been given an audience by the emperor, but what action was agreed upon, if any, is a court secret. No edict has yet been published concerning the result of the deliberations.
THREATEN TO INTERVENE, JAPAN
PARIS, May 1. The Gaulois today announces that Russia has invited France and Germany to sign a joint note stating their objections to the treaty of peace arranged at Shimonoseki between the representatives of China and Japan, and that Japan has been notified that the fact of ignoring this note will warrant armed intervention on the part of the three powers which sign it.
INCIDENT AT THE ELEVATOR
Work of the Organization Recounted by Recent Thor of Toledo.
CHICAGO, May 1. The National Association of Railway Surgeons began its eight annual convention in Chicago today. Surgeons from every state in the union and from Mexico, Canada and Manitoba were present at the first session in the Young Men's Christian Association building.
Dr. A. I. Douffleur, the chairman of the committee on arrangements, presided. The address of welcome was delivered by V. Walker, receiver for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway.
A response was made by Dr. W. B. Cutten, chief surgeon of the Missouri Pacific railroad.
Dr. Samuel S. Thor, chief surgeon of the Wheeling & Lake Erie railway, Toledo, the president of the association, read a lengthy address. After recounting the organizational history of the association, he gave an exhaustive review of the work accomplished in the establishment of good hospitals and the work done by the various members in cases of accidents. He urged that the association be incorporated.
TRILBY ONLY IN NAME
WASHINGTON, May 1. Librarian Spofford said today that the old "Trilby," brought forward in the Denver infringement suit, was unlike Du Sartler's work in all ways except the name. The old book has been on sale here for some time.
DENVER, May 1. When the suit between Harper Bros. and A. S. Palmer against McKee Rankin and H. L. Widner to join in the production of "Trilby" at the Lyceum theater came up before Judge Hull in the federal court today, the plaintiff's attorney asked for a further postponement. The defendants objected, saying the plaintiff's purpose was to keep the case in court until one of Brady's companies could produce "Trilby" in Denver, thus depriving them of the profits to be reaped from an original production. The court granted a continuance until next Wednesday, but said that in the meantime the Lyceum company could produce "Trilby" and would not be required to render any accounting whatever for the rest of the suit.
ROBBERS SEEKING REVENGE
Take an Employee for an Informer Who Had Frustrated Their Plans.
ONE OF THE DESPERADOES FATALLY SHOT
Their Victim Likely to Die and an Officer Who Went in Pursuit Shot Through the Arm One of the Gang in Custody.
ST. JOSEPH, May 1. Two men fatally shot and one seriously injured in the result of a frustrated attempt to rob a Burlington train coming into this city. For several days past a gang of rough men have been hanging around St. George, a suburb of this city. Last evening information was brought to the Burlington officials that the Omaha express was to be held up. William Haag, the hotel man, furnished the information and the officers sent guards, who frustrated the design. Late this evening while Richard Ran, an employee of Haag, was sitting in the bar of Haag's place Thomas Farrell, one of the gang, stepped inside the door, while his partner, who gives the name of Dan Howard, watched on the outside. Farrell stepped up to Ran and without a word shot him through the stomach, inflicting a fatal wound. As Farrell went out the door he yelled to his partner: "I have shot the wrong man," realizing that he had failed to get Haag, who had given the information.
Several citizens who were near started in pursuit of the two men, who ran north on the railroad tracks toward the Kansas bridge. A number of shots were fired by both parties, but without effect. As the fugitives neared the bridge ex-Sheriff Carson and Officer Barry, who heard the firing, jumped into a buggy and gave chase, catching up with the two just as they were leaving the Kansas end of the bridge. Carson covered Howard with his revolver and forced him to surrender. Officer Barry attempted to capture Farrell, who whipped out two revolvers and began firing, shooting the officer through the arm. Then Farrell dashed into the weeds, followed by Barry and two other officers, Franz and Shea, who had arrived by this time, and a battle ensued, during which over forty shots were fired. Farrell was finally shot through the left breast, the bullet passing through his lung, and he is in a dying condition. Farrell is supposed to hail from St. Louis, while Howard's residence is so far unknown, as he refuses to talk.
SHOT THE ENGINEER AND IS DYEING
Colt Blooded Murder Committed During by Train or Would-Be Robbers.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill., May 1. Night express No. 3, on the Chicago & Alton railway, northbound, was attacked about 12 o'clock, about two miles this side of Carlinville, by three masked men, who had climbed upon the platform of the blind baggage car, supposedly at Carlinville. The men climbed over the tender and ordered Engineer Frank Holmes to stop the train, and immediately began firing. Holmes was killed at the first fire. Fireman Frank Tuggle escaping. The assailants, after shooting the engineer, jumped off the train and escaped. Fireman Tuggle then ran the train back to Carlinville. It is not known whether robbery was intended or not. Engineer Holmes this morning, when going south, at Carlinville compelled some tramps to get off the train, and also ran some tramps off that were burning cars on a "Y," and it is thought that some of these men were his murderers. Holmes' home is in Bloomington. The train lay here for several hours.
GONE BY A FATAL ACCIDENT
One of the Victims Likes to Die and also another Dying Dying Dying.
FORT SCOTT, Kan., May 1. At Elba, a small village near here, half a dozen people are in a dangerous condition as a result of treatment administered by a handsome, stylishly dressed woman, who came here several days ago and advertised as Mrs. Dr. Alberta Verlin, claiming to be a dentist traveling from St. Louis. Many citizens visited her. In extracting teeth she applied some liquid to the gum of a number of her patients. Soon after the operation they were invariably taken ill, their faces and hands becoming discolored, their tongues swollen and their stomachs affected. Among those now in a dangerous condition are Taylor Puckett, pastor of the Methodist church; Miss Myrtle Wallace, Miss Nora Hortwell, Mrs. William Martin, and Lizzie Liddell. Miss Liddell is dying tonight, and some of the others may succumb before morning. When the symptoms of some of the victims became serious local physicians were called in, but despite their efforts the victims grew steadily worse. When the local physicians declared their charges were suffering from poison inquiry was made for the woman dentist, and it was discovered she had fled. The prosecuting attorney caused a warrant to be issued for her arrest, and telegrams for her apprehension are being sent in all directions.
INDIAN RESERVATION LAND SALE despite Protests of the Indians, who Threaten to Make Trouble if any of the Purchasers Try to Take Possession.
TACOMA, Wash., May 1. The sale of land on the Puyallup Indian reservation under the direction of the government was begun here today despite the protests of a large number of Indians, who threaten to make trouble if any of the purchasers try to take possession. The Indians are recognized by a decision of the United States circuit court as citizens, and they exercise the rights as such with the single exception that the land of the reservation is held in trust for them by the government. Great dissatisfaction exists among them on that account, and when the sale of lands began today a squad of redskins announced publicly that the whites had better not buy any of the land. John L. Claire, one of the chiefs, said: "The land belongs to us. These men come out here to sell it when we don't want them to. We want to be left alone. No man can take the land if he buys. We give fair warning to white men when they buy to keep off the lands and away from the reservation."
SUGAR DECREASES DUE TO INCREASE IN DEMAND AND DECREASE IN SUPPLY.
ST. LOUIS, May 1. Nearly all the wheat in local public elevators was delivered today upon May contracts, in all about 1,500,000 bushels of No. 2 red, the contract grade; 400,000 bushels of it from the farmers and terminal elevators, and the rest handled by the United Elevator company. Block, Dea & Co., who represent the long interest of the May option, received most of the grain and paid for it. The deal involved every grain, and none of it was pressed for sale, showing how well it was placed. Whether the firm represents a Paducah, Ky., syndicate or a St. Louis combine is not known. The enormous deal frightened the May shorts, and they bid options up to 66 1/2 cents, and then could purchase little. The shorts were badly rattled, and a corner is uppermost in discussion.
CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO AGREES to Purchase Supplies from the Contractors.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1. The difficult situation between the contractors for supplies and the city of San Francisco has been adjusted and the threatened famine in the jails and hospitals has been averted. The contractors have agreed to carry out their contracts and furnish the city with supplies. The auditors' threat to refuse to audit their accounts for last month, covering goods already furnished by them, has brought them to terms.
THE STOCK OF THE LLOYD, LATZ & THOMAS DRY GOODS COMPANY, WHICH PASSED INTO THE HANDS OF A RECEIVER YESTERDAY, IS BEING INVENTORIED prior to its sale in bulk. The entire value of the stock is estimated at $30,000, and it is expected that its sale, even at a sacrifice, will cancel the entire indebtedness of the company, amounting to $53,000.
THE NAVY DEPARTMENT INCREASES PURCHASES of strategic materials in anticipation of war.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 11. The inquest on the body of Blanche Lament occupied less than three hours today, but the evidence developed was considered convincing, and the jury returned a verdict charging Theodore Durrani with the murder. Until today, no one has been produced who saw Durrani in the vicinity of Emanuel Baptist church with the murdered girl on the afternoon of April 3. This missing link, seemingly all that was lacking to complete the chain of circumstances fastening the terrible church crimes on the medical student, was supplied at the inquest. Martin Quinlan, an attorney, gave direct and positive testimony that he saw Durrani and a girl, tallying exactly with the description of Blanche Lament, walking toward the church and only a few yards distant at 4:15 o'clock on the afternoon she disappeared. Quinlan explained that he was waiting to keep an appointment with one Clark, who corroborated Quinlan's statement. These witnesses furnished the sensational feature of the inquest, but Durrani maintained his stolid indifference during the testimony. The police and district attorney are confident of a conviction, stating they did not put in nearly all of their case at the inquest.
Mrs. C. G. Noble, aunt of the murdered girl, testified as to the frequency of Durrani's visits at her house, and his attentions to her niece. Durrani had proposed marriage to Blanche last December, but had been refused when the girl learned he was engaged to another woman.
C. G. Noble, uncle of Blanche, testified Durrani had suggested after her disappearance that Blanche was probably in a house of ill fame, and offered to search for her.
A streetcar conductor and three schoolgirls identified Durrani as the man who escorted Blanche from the school, taking the car to the point of transfer en route to her home.
G. R. King, organist of Emanuel church, with evident efforts to shield Durrani, laid the story of seeing him in the church faint and sick late on the afternoon Blanche Lament disappeared.
Dr. J. S. Barrett, who performed the autopsy, stated Blanche died of asphyxiation. He said it was impossible for her to have been in a delicate condition. Seven of the strangler's superficial wounds were on one side of her neck and five on the other.
Declives told of Durrani's statements concerning his whereabouts the day Blanche disappeared, and of his seeming fear to acknowledge the extent of his acquaintance with her and the case went to the jury.
NOT ALL THIS IS TOLD.
Investigation of the Death on Cruiser Olympia Examined Into.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 11. The cruiser Olympia, under orders, is at Mare Island, where an inquiry will be commenced regarding the death of Coxswain John Johnson, who was killed at San Diego by the recoil of a 5-inch gun during largest practice. The dead man's brother, Frederick, is a Southern Pacific employee, and has been but on the road. With the news by wire, of the brother's death, he received a letter which had been written by Coxswain Johnson at Santa Barbara before his death. The letter will cause Frederick Johnson to make a demand for an investigation. This demand, with a copy of the letter, will be sent to Washington. Following are excerpts from the letter, which is dated Santa Barbara, April 20:
"Our ship is besieged with visitors and every inch of her is as clean as a new pin. She is a pretty sight to one who comes on board, but Fred, it is hard to be one of her crew. As I have already told you, our troubles lie in our executive officer, who is, as the boys say, a 'sundowner.' Both the captain and the lieutenant are alike, and they are despised by the crew. To give you some idea of our trouble, we are poorly fed to begin with, and are cooped up like a lot of convicts. If we go to the mast to make any complaint, Lieutenant Sturdy, our first lieutenant, treats us shamefully. He punishes men for mere trifles, and worst of all, we are not permitted liberties given on other ships. The men met on the berth deck the other day and raised some money to put our case in the hands of a lawyer as soon as we get back to Vallejo, as the Charleston crew did.
"I don't want to desert, but God knows I would rather serve three years in the brig at the barracks than put in a cell on this ship with Lieutenant Sturdy.
"We have told the captain how we are treated, but he will not listen to us. If we return to Vallejo, which you will see in the papers, I want you to come down and I will tell you more, as it is not good policy to write everything in letters.
"To show you what it costs me to keep from being hungry, I have spent over $360 since I have been on the Olympia for food alone."
It was also reported that increases in the debt statement for the United States, less cash in the treasury, was $917,839,903, an increase for the month of $9,109,857. The cash balance in the treasury today is $180,817,916, a decrease during last month of $7,099,345. The debt is classified as follows:
Interest-bearing debts, $710,201,210; increase for the month, $2,349,050. Debt of which interest has ceased since maturity $1,764,630; decrease, $15,630; debt bearing interest, $380,701,219; decrease, $323,847. The cash in the treasury is classified as follows: Gold, $139,998,153; silver, $510,813,574; paper, $119,833,579; disbursing officers' balance, etc., $16,797,027; making a total of $787,442,335, against which there are demand liabilities outstanding amounting to $506,624,419, leaving a cash balance of $180,817,916.
The treasury statement of receipts and expenditures during the month shows receipts as follows: Customs, $12,453,056, as against $10,176,691 for the month of April, 1894; Internal revenue, $10,418,980, as against $11,363,144 for April, 1894; miscellaneous, $1,145,869, which does not differ materially from the figures for April, 1894; the total receipts for the month were $24,247,836, an increase of $1,555,472. The expenditures for the month amounted to $32,990,076, leaving a deficit of $8,742,840 for the month, and for the fiscal year to date of $45,299,369.
Rumors of re-instatement for sale.
Shippers unwilling to state whether it is for insurance or the government.
CINCINNATI, May 11. The following, published in a late edition here tonight:
"Today two men, representing the powder mills at Gosport station, near Xenla, came to Cincinnati and entered into negotiations with two of the prominent railroads to take a train load of powder from Xenla to Norfolk, Va. They first visited the Baltimore & Ohio offices, and, after getting a rate, they tried the Pennsylvania. They would not say anything about the consignment except that it would be made up 'entirely of powder' and would be taken from Norfolk to Cuba by vessel. They refused to state whether the powder was for the Insurgents or the Cuban government. Up to a late hour they had not succeeded in making a rate."
FARTHER DETAILS IN THE CIRCUS SCANDAL.
Laramie Women Will Protest Against the Circus Performance on Memorial Day.
LARAMIE, Wyo., May 11. Special.—The ladies' auxiliary of the Grand Army of the Republic will protest to the city authorities against the performance of a circus on Memorial day. They believe that the day is one set apart for patriotic observance, and that it is simply desecration to allow a circus performance to disturb the solemnity of the Grand Army services.
Two Children Burned to Death.
ATCHISON, Kan. May 1.—The home of Stanford Kimley in the country near here was burned today during the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Kimley, and their two children, aged 3 years and 1 month, mysteriously. The origin of the fire is unknown.
DESTROYED ALL IN ITS PATH
Country Near Halstead Visited by a Terrific Cyclone,
ONE FAMILY WAS ALMOST EXTERMINATED
Several Patalltiles Reported In Other Portions of the Community Teacher's Forethought Prevents a Terrible Calamity.
WICHITA, Kan., May 1. A special from Halstead, Kan., says: About 4:30 this afternoon a fearful cyclone devastated a strip of country several hundred yards wide and at least sixteen miles in length, killing six persons outright and seriously injuring several others, while many received slight injuries. The cyclone struck the house of Mrs. Fry, a widow living about nine miles southwest of Halstead, completely destroying it and slightly injuring Mrs. Fry. It picked up the house of John Schultzback and scattered it in every direction. The house of Joseph Weir was swept away, killing Mrs. Joseph Weir, Grace Weir, aged 11, Herman Weir, age 6, and a 6-weeks-old baby. Mr. Weir had previously left the house, and when the cyclone struck he was about 500 yards away. He clung to a tree, but was badly injured by flying debris and will die. Joseph Weir, jr., and his sister, Claude Weir, the only ones in the family who took to the cellar, escaped with only slight bruises.
The home of E.C. Caldwell, which was 100 yards from the Weir home, was unroofed and one side was torn away. The family escaped by taking to the cellar.
The next house in the path of the storm was William Armstrong's, which was completely wiped from the face of the earth. Mr. Armstrong was killed, Mrs. Armstrong seriously and perhaps fatally injured and Grandma Chapman, who was sick in bed, was killed.
About 100 yards east of the Armstrong house, the large two-story residence of B.E. Fritzel was picked up, as was also a large two-story house of J.F. Fritzel, across the road, and both, together with all the outbuildings, were completely swept away, leaving only enough debris to show that a house had stood there. The families of both the Fritzzels escaped injury, with the exception of Mrs. J.R. Fritzel, who was bruised about the head.
The next place visited was the home of Captain William White, which was only partly destroyed, one wing of the house being torn away. Across the road from White's the home of Cyrus Hinkston was entirely carried away. Mr. Hinkston received painful, but not serious, injuries. Spencer Ross' house was in the line of the tornado and was carried away, as were also the homes of A.S. Powell, J.A. Comas, Andrew Thompson, and Menno Hege. Miss Daisy Neff at Powell's house was badly injured, as was Mrs. J.A. Comas.
At the Hege district school the children had just been dismissed. Hege saw the storm approaching and, fearing its results, hurried the scholars to his cyclone cellar. His forethought prevented an awful disaster, for just as the last child had been safely lowered into the cellar the cyclone struck the house over them and demolished it. As it was not one of them was even slightly injured.
The fury of the storm seems to have done its worst about five miles west of Halstead, where all six of the persons were killed. Dead horses and cattle and hogs are scattered all over the wheat fields near the Fritzel home. Those who first saw the disaster coming say it made very slow progress, not traveling faster than a person could run.
AT LEAST EIGHT WILL DIE.
The storm seemed to waver first in one direction and then in another, as far as heard from covering a distance of sixteen miles across the country from southwest to northeast. Twenty residences, nearly all of them large ones, were completely destroyed. The loss will not be less than $200,000, besides the six deaths and the injured, two or three of whom will probably die. Physicians from Wichita went to the relief of the injured and local assistance is being given to the suffering families. People in the track of the storm lost everything and outside aid will probably have to be called for.
The storm crossed the Santa Fe railroad about three miles west of Halstead. The engineer of a westbound through Pacific express saw a twisting storm coming from the south and stopped his train and backed out. This prompt action prevented a wreck, for the train would certainly have struck the storm had it proceeded.
The pathway is strewn with the wreckage of houses, barns, and outbuildings, among which are the carcasses of hundreds of dead horses and other animals. Trees in the path of the cyclone were stripped of foliage. In the line of the cyclone telegraph poles and wires were broken and twisted in every conceivable way, rendering telegraph communication almost impossible. The storm left about three miles northeast of Burton and further damage was done, though pieces of timber, clothing, and other signs of the wreck can be traced as far as thirty miles away. The path of the cyclone lies through a rich farming district and most of the buildings destroyed were of a substantial character. There is little or no cyclone insurance on any of them and the loss will practically be total.
Killed by Lightning.
BOX FALLS, S. D., May 1.—Special. A special received from Lake Preston says that a young man named Henry Wachman, aged 18 years, was killed by lightning near the city. His mother, who is a sufferer from heart trouble, will probably not recover from the shock of her son's sudden death.

EDITORS' CORNER: The Grocery Company Asks for Relief for American Water Works Compress.
CHICAGO, May 1. A receiver has been appointed for the American Water Works company of Illinois. The appointment was made upon the application of the Holly Manufacturing company of Lockport, N.Y. The Illinois corporation was organized in 1887 with a capital of $500,000 to construct water works in cities and towns and to deal in stocks of other corporations. Afterwards the capital stock was increased to $5,000,000. It acquired a large amount of property in Douglas county, Nebraska, consisting of water works, by which the cities of Omaha, South Omaha, and Florence and the adjoining country were supplied with water. The company issued bonds to a large amount, which were secured by a mortgage on its property. The Illinois company also further engaged in the business of building and improving water works under contracts, in all amounting to upwards of $200,000, and made large profits, paying to its stockholders $300,000 in dividends.
While engaged in business, the court is told, the Illinois company became indebted to the complainant to a large extent. In April, 1891, it is averred that the Illinois company sold and transferred all its property to the American Water Works company of New Jersey, except a portion consisting principally of negotiable mortgage bonds received by it amounting to $240,000, face value. The Illinois company also sold, it is claimed, to C. H. Vener & Co., at 50 cents on the dollar, a large majority of its stocks, with the proceeds thereof the firm of Vener & Co. agreed to pay an indebtedness of the Illinois company. Since its transfer to the New Jersey company, the court is told, the Illinois company had ceased to do business or to own any property, leaving debts unpaid, particularly that of the complainant. The complainant avers that all the capital stock of the Illinois company is now owned by the New Jersey company, and that the latter company is liable for the unpaid portion of the Illinois company stock.
Carly still talks about the presidency for the coming election. CLEVELAND, May 1. Hon. Chauncey M. Depew of New York was in the city today attending the annual meeting of the Lake Shore and Nickel Plate roads. Asked about national politics, Mr. Depew said: "Too early to discuss national politics; nothing has developed yet."
"Whom do you favor for the presidency?" "I am from New York state and we are for Governor Morton." "Ohio, you know, is for Governor McKinley." "Ohio ought to be for Governor McKinley; he is an able man." "How about ex-President Harrison's chances?" "As I said before, it is altogether too early to discuss national politics."
"But aside from personalities and candidates' chances, what do you think will be the issues of the campaign?" "There will be but one issue. Hard times and good times. The republicans want nothing better."
"What about the tariff and silver?" "Oh, the tariff and silver questions will no doubt enter into the campaign, but they will only be incidental issues."
Speaking of the indictment of President Huntington of the Southern Pacific by a California grand jury, Mr. Depew said: "That is certainly a contemptible proceeding and is an offense for which every railroad president in the country is liable to prosecution. There is certainly no danger that there will be many similar prosecutions, as there is only one man in a million who would descend to such a level."
Over Two Hundred Thousand Dollars Worth of Bonds Involved in the Dodging. DEADWOOD, May 1. (Special Telegram.) In the circuit court of the Eighth Judicial district today was decided a case of much interest to holders of Lawrence county bonds of date of 1889, drawing 8 percent interest. The case, as originally brought, was for the purpose of compelling Minnelusa county, which was organized from Lawrence, to pay its proportion of indebtedness incurred while it was a part of Lawrence county, but incidentally it involves the legality of the issue of $300,000 worth of bonds, mostly held by eastern parties. The decision declared that the issue was made illegally, the issue having exceeded the limit of indebtedness fixed by congress, and, although the territorial legislature of Dakota at its next succeeding session passed a law authorizing Lawrence county to use the money raised by the sale of such bonds, the judge holds that the debt is null and void, the legislature not having authority to enact it. It is not thought, however, that Lawrence county will seek to take advantage of this decision and repudiate a just debt, there being but $200,000 of the bonds now outstanding.
Strike at Brick Yards Over Two Hundred Thousand Workers Involved.
ST. LOUIS, May 1.-One thousand brickyard workers, all employed in the city, went out on a strike at noon today for more wages and a nine-hour work day. This has resulted in the suspension of the brick yards with enough orders on hand to keep them busy for four weeks. At the Builders' exchange, at a conference of builders, it was generally agreed that the strike was of unusual importance, taking place during the busiest season. It was decided that action must be taken at once. Bricklayers who had hod carriers at work cannot proceed to fill their contracts owing to the scarcity of brick. The brick companies, it is understood, have a very small supply on hand, owing to the large shipments east.
Columbus, O., May 1. A special from Nelsonville, O., to the Dispatch says: The coal miners throughout the Hocking valley are all out, having performed their last work until the scale is settled. It is believed the suspension will not continue more than a week.
A similar state of affairs at Massillon has been called a strike, but information has it to the effect that the men are only out awaiting a settlement as to what their wages are to be.
Under the new scale for 1895, to be adopted by the Ohio miners now in session here, the Ohio Miners' association auxiliary to the United Mine Workers of America met today with President Hatchford in the chair. The convention is called "to deal with the price question."
According to former agreements Ohio miners worked 9 cents below the Pittsburgh district men. The important question now is whether this differential of 9 cents will continue. The call, as read, shows further that the men who stopped work today in Ohio did so by recommendation of their organizational officials until a scale is arranged.
Ohio Miners Out on May Day.
Massillon, O., May 1. In accordance with the annual custom for May 1, work in all the union mines in Ohio was suspended last night and will not be resumed until the scale, now being made at the Columbus convention, is signed. This suspension is not peculiar to the Massillon district, but it embraces the entire state. Some doubt exists whether it can be made complete, although it is so in this valley. Thirty thousand miners are directly affected, and the Ohio convention is of vital concern to many other states.
Mayor Appoints Officers, Rawlins, Wyo., May 1. (Special.) At the city council meeting last night, trustees were sworn in, J. H. Clause was elected president of the board. Mayor Rumussen's nominations for city officers were confirmed as follows: Warren Galvin, treasurer; J. T. Williams, clerk; C. I. Hedge, attorney; Dan Healy, jr., marshal; Thomas Hanks, night policeman.
Question of Fact for Crocker.
Cheyenne, May 1. (Special.) The Wyoming supreme court will hear arguments May 25 to determine whether or not the district court can accept bail in the case of 12 S. Crocker of Evansville, indicted for the murder of his partner, Harvey Booth. In the meantime Crocker will remain in jail.

An attempt by the defense to show that the Capital National bank had been made a state depository was headed off by Judge Wakeley, who contended that the point at issue and the only point was that the money of the state had been illegally deposited in banks, and that the bondsmen were liable for the whole amount, including the $230,000 deficit.
But a great deal of evidence was adduced going to show the Insolvency of the Capital National Bank, and implying that such Insolvency was known for some time prior to its collapse. Court adjourned yesterday with the state attempting to connect Defendant Hill with the official bond as an actual signer. Witness Allen had been pressed upon this point, but all his answers had been evasive. Examination of Witnesses Benton, Harden and Thayer had been on the same lines, the state desired to secure evidence showing a recognition by other state officers of Hill as treasurer. To a greater or lesser degree the state succeeded.
HILL'S BOND PRODUCED.
This morning Lambertson produced Hill's bond for $2,000,000, signed by the defendant bondsmen. On this bond Mosher had justified for $300,000. Outcalt for $150,000, John Fitzgerald for $100,000, C. T. Hoggs for $100,000, John E. Smith for $100,000, Samuel G. Smith for $100,000, John Ellis for $100,000, N. S. Harwood for $100,000, Frank Colpetzer $100,000, D. C. Caldwell $100,000, Samuel E. Rogers $200,000, John F. Coad $200,000, John B. Wright $50,000, John SteFarland $200,000, John SteClny $30,000, and D. E. Thompson $150,000. Lambertson read the various covenants of the sureties to the Jury.
John H. Alford was called to the stand by Judge Wakeley. Alford is bookkeeper in the state treasurer's office, and was in January, 1891. He had with him a day book or journal, and was asked to show the balance of state money on hand January 8, 1891. Sir. Wheedon objected on the ground that the journal had not been placed in evidence, and Judge Wakeley offered it as evidence. Witness was asked to point out the balance of state money on hand January 8, 1891. Sir. Wheedon again objected on the ground that no foundation had been laid for the testimony, that it was also immaterial at this time. Judge Broady also objected on the ground that the testimony was irrelevant.
The court sustained the objection, and advised Judge Wakeley to more fully lay the proper foundation for the introduction of the testimony, which was done, witness explaining the character of the book and its relation to the office of the state treasurer. Witness then took the book and read the articles, which showed receipts of $1,692,733 and disbursements of $161,014.57, leaving a balance of $1,530,788.43.
General Cowin asked the court if the defense could be permitted to object to evidence in general at any time, without lumbering up the record with continual objections to detail, the defense at this time objected to the introduction of the book and all evidence connected with it.
It was held by the court that objections should be made by the defense at any time, Judge Wakeley then announced that the testimony for the state was practically all in. General Cowin asked Witness Alford if the journal was the book of original entries. Witness said it was.
"How long did this account run which shows this balance of $1,530,788.43 ?"
"From November 30, 1880."
"Was this account made up of certificates of deposit ?"
"I know nothing of certificates of deposit, or cash. That is out of my province."
"Then all you know is that this record is a showing of amounts received from county treasurers and deposited in banks ?"
"Yes, sir."
"In what shape are these amounts which make up this balance paid in ?"
"In checks, drafts, exchange and currency, but with these in detail I have nothing to do."
On redirect examination, Judge Wakeley asked witness if there was any statement made up from the books at the time a state treasurer succeeded himself different from what it is when the treasurer is succeeded by another man.
Witness replied that there was no difference. The books were a continuous record from day to day and year to year.
Resuming the cross-examination, General Cowin inquired if there was a cash book kept in the office of the treasurer or any other book containing a similar showing. Witness evaded this question by saying it was a matter with which he had nothing to do.
"But is there not a cash book in the office ?" persisted General Cowin.
"That I never touch," replied the witness, and he was excused amid considerable merriment.
TESTIMONY OF THE AUDITOR.
State Auditor Eugene Moore said that he assumed his office January 14, 1893. Identified his signature on a statement of the condition of the state's funds on that date, and the document was placed in evidence by Judge Wakeley. But he afterward corrected himself and said he desired to offer only a portion of the statement. Judge Broady objected to any of it going in as evidence unless all of it be offered.
The court overruled the objection, saying that if the defense wished to offer the balance of the document it could, but the court held that now was not the proper time. Sir. Wheedon began a cross-examination of Auditor Moore prior to the direct, but did not long continue it.
Judge Wakeley offered in evidence another document purporting to be a statement of the state's financial condition from January 1 to 30, 1893. Witness identified the signature of John E. Hill.
Sir. Wheedon drew from witness that he was not state auditor at the time this statement was filed, as his term of office began subsequently. Found the statement among the official files of the office.
Ex-State Auditor Tom Benton was recalled. Witness said he surrendered his office on the 14th day of January, 1891. Identified his signature on the statement of settlement between Hill and Bartley. Described in detail the nature of the document. The statement had been made up from a report of the state treasurer made to the auditor, January 5. Witness knew nothing of the reliability of the statement otherwise than the signature of Hill. There were three copies made, one for the auditor, one for the incoming treasurer, and one for the outgoing treasurer.
Sir. Wheedon, on cross-examination, asked what had been made of the paper. Before witness could answer, Judge Wakeley objected on the ground of improper cross-examination and was sustained. But Mr. Wheedon drew out that there were endorsements on the back of the paper which had not been there when he went out of office.
State Treasurer Joseph S. Hartley said he had been furnished a statement of the financial condition of the state when he succeeded Hill, and had thought it was in his desk, but had lately been unable to find it. He then identified the document in evidence as the lost statement. Witness said that the greater portion of the state funds had been turned over in certificates of deposit on various banks. Said that the certificates of deposit in the Capital National bank were $150,000, $100,000, and $35,000. In other banks there were in First National, Lincoln, $200,000; Merchants National, Omaha, $69,000; Arapahoe Exchange, Lincoln, $81,000; Columbia National, Lincoln, $60,000. | 13 |

HEADED OFF WHKEDON.
In his cross-examination Mr. Wheedon
tried to bring out the fact that the Capital
National bank had bsen made a state de
pository , but Judge AVakeley objected , and
the court sustained him. Judge Vakeley
said that they would cross that bridge when
they came to It. Mr Wheedon switched for
a while , but finally drifted around to It
again , and the court sharply requested Mr.
Wheedon to keep hlmsetr within bounds and
not try to beat around the bush and slip In
Improper cross-examination.
Judge Wakeley sild the state was only
trying to show by Witness Hartley Just how
much he had realized en the certificate of
depoilt , mil no more than that. The fact
that the bank had been made a depos'tory
had , at the present , nothing to do with the
case.
case.Mr.
Mr. Wheedon drew from witness th ? fact
that the certificates of deposit from the Cap
ital National bank had never been In his
custody since he had deposited them In the
bank and received a credit for the same.
General Cowln said that he began to con
sider this caseIn the light of a double-bar
relled one , designed to catch defendants
going or coming. IIo claimed that the whole
question of deposits In other banks had been
gone Into on the direct examination.
Mr. . tatnbertsoii said ho desired to explain
his position. As he understood It , a sum
equalling $1,600,000 had been deposited In
banks Illegally. 'When the evidence had es
tablished that fact , which It certainly was
doing , then the bondsmen became liable for
the whole amount , nnd for the deficit of the
Capital National bank. The burden of proof
did not rest upon the slate , to show how much
had been realized on these certificates.
Witness said ho had first heard of the fail
ure of the bank on Sunday evening , In
Omal.n. The bank's doors had not opened
Monday morning. Witness was then excused.
ACTUAL CONDITION OF THE HANK.
Receiver A. 1C. Haydcn of the Capital Na
tional had held such office since June 1 ,
1S93. Ho was examined by Mr. Lambcrtson.
Hail filled all positions In banks from mes
senger boy to cashier1 and was a skilled ac
countant. A bank examiner had taken pos
session of the bank January 22 , 1893. Asked
to give a statement of the condition of the
bank prior to failure , it was objected to by
General Cowln and overruled. V/Itm-ss an
swered that It was Insolvent , nnd defense
noted an exception.
"You may state whether the bank was
solvent or Insolvent on the 6th day of Jan
uary , the day on which the certificates of
deposit were given Hartley. "
"It was Insolvent. "
"What amount of money did the bank
have on hand on that day ? "
"It had $24,356.25. "
"How much did the bank have on hand the
day It closed Its doors ? "
"It had $11.117.57. "
"What were the liabilities of the bank ? "
"They were $1,256,135.07. "
"Nominal and real assets ? "
"Nominal assets. $1,000,000 ; real. $160,000. "
All of these questions were objected to and
exceptions taken by the defense. The bills
receivable were figured a ( . $999,971 , and the
cash was about $11,000.
"How much do you estimate the real es
tate worth ? " asked Mr. Wheedon on cross
examination.
"About $60,000. "
There was due from other banks about
$7,000. Witness did not Include the stock In
his estimate ut liabilities. One piece ot real
estate had been sold for $1,000. Had fig
ured the value of the real estate at what he
considered It worth. Witness did not agree
ylth Mr. Wheedon that when Ji concern
failed Its assets shrank 40 nnd 50 per cent.
' But he thought ( hey might bs worth 40 per
cent more If the concern could go on and
close up Its business In Its own way. The
bank on tha 6th of January was doing busi
ness In the ordinary way and continued to dose
so up to the evening of the 21st. Had col
lector ! $98.000 on the bills receivable. John
1) . McFarland , ens of the bondsmen of Hill ,
had been Ilayden's predecessor as receiver.

years they were heard of. He wished to
ay frankly that If any of them were for
money belonging to the permanent ochool
fund they could not b ? deposited In state de-
[ xialtorlea under the law. Witness showed
that they were for money belonging to tem
porary school funds. There were two cer
tificates undrr this head , ono for $37,950 and
ono for 37.114.7G.
Mr. Wheedon held * the state down to the
; > leadlnipi In which It was not alleged that
ny permanent school money was deposited
In the Capital National bank. Mr. Lambert-
son said ho thought It was admissible
to show what kind of moneys had
mve been deposited. Judge Droady said
: hnt there was nothing In the petition or
the reply relating to this point , and that
he defense had not had notice. Mr. Lam-
jcrlson cMtneJ the right to show the char
acter of the moneys and was sustained by
the court. Witness said tl.at ho did not

Mr. Lambertson to answer If ho were not
anticipating a future movement to show that
oven under the state depository law , Hill had
no right to depoilt certain moneys In the
Capital National bank. Lambertson ad
mitted the/ fact and the court sustained Mr.
Wheedon's objection.
Pending Witness Hartlett's testimony , the
court adjourned until tomorrow morning.

several patients said to have been maltreated.
Ho was asked by General Webster as to
the general character of Dr. Hay for pa
tience and efficiency , and he replied that It
was excellent. Dr. Manary's testimony was
corroborative of Dr. Knapp's , and both were
strongly eulogistic ot the ability and perfect
fitness of Dr. Hay for the position of su
perintendent ot the asylum.
George J. IJlodgetl , a discharged patient ,
was on the stand In the afternoon. He told
a long story of abuse , and Illustrated how he

been employed In other Institutions , and
that the practice In Lincoln was as good as
In other asylums where they had been em
ployed.

management prevailed at the asylum. W. C.

story. All the witnesses , with the exception
of the ex-patient , IJlodgett , were put on the

TENDER , Wett' , May l.-Speclal ( Tele
gram. ) A hefWy Tain left the roads In bad
condition and Shdrlff Mullln has deferred his
trip to the agency to arrest Bonaparte , the
Indian who assaulted the Wlnnebago
brother-in-law" of President Lommon of the
Flour noy conlphnyj until tomorrow morning.
An Indian 'w'ho cameIn from the agency
last night reported to Lcmmon that Uona-
parto waa In hiding , but It Is salil that his
whereabouts were given to the authorities.
Ordinarily a personal encounter between In
dians would not attract attention , but In
this Instance a relative of ono ot the central
figures In the present land trouble waa as
saulted and Lcmmon resented It by swearing
out the warrant. It Is believed that the ar
rest ot tlonaparte Is Inspired by Lemmon as
a test and that if Captain Ueck officially
recognizes the right of the sheriff at this
time to make arrests at the agency for an
offensH committed on the reservation It
would be Inconsistent to offer resistance In
the future should the sheriff seek to serve
papers In assault cases which might accrue
later on between tenants and Indian police.
The sheriff believes now that ho will not be
molested when ho arrests Bonaparte and
that Captain Beck will cheerfully surrender
the Indian wanted.
The Indian police In Jail were to have
been voluntarily released by the authorities
before the expiration of their sentence , but
a rumor reached the officers that Captain
Beck or Tom Sloan would make an effort
to secure a writ of habeas corpus and that
Sloan was In Omaha or Lincoln for that
purpose. It was decided to hold the prison
ers , as the county authorities are eager to
test the question of authority.
All kinds of rumors arc afloat , bat the
general Impression now Is that Mullln will
get Bonaparte without a struggle and In the
event of the failure of Captain Beck to se
cure a writ of habeas corpus for the telease
ot Elk and BInckhawk , he will not attempt
further evictions with Indian police until
tha courts decide the question.
Panderltes claim that troops cannot bo
sent here as long as no blood Is sheJ , and
while It would require very little to precipi
tate trouble. It Is now evident that war talk
la dwindling Into whispers of peace and the
entire battle will be fought out In the courts.
Excitement Is subsiding , but Interest Is by
no means abated.

TEXAS RATES CASE HEARD

Their Work at Omnha.
FURTHER TESTIMONY AT KANSAS CITY
Local Slilpora Show the llnriliihlp of the
Difference In Itnteg front Trxn * In
1'utor of Hntitns City Mtock
Yards Vitally Interested.
The Interstate Commerce commission con
tinued taking testimony yesterday In the
case of the Commercial club against the
various railways , wherein It Is alleged that
they have been discriminating In favor of St.
Joseph and Kansas City on rates from the
south.
W. N. Babcock , general manager of the
stock yards company , testified practically
the same as did Commissioner Utt Tuesday.
On cross-oxamlnatlon Mr. Hagcnback asked
the witness tf It was not a fact that by
reason of Its better location and larger mar
ket Kansas City was In a position to com
mand better rates from the different roads.
In answer the witness stated that Kansas
City rates were controlled by a one-man
power and that that ono man was heavily
Interested In the Kansas City stock yards
and In railroads running Into those yards.
In answer to another question , Mr. Babcock -
cock stated that about COO cars of feeders
had been shipped to Kansas City from this
market between October 1 , 1894. and March
1 of this year , and that about 200 cars had
been bought by Omaha packers In Kansas
City and shipped here for slaughter.
Mr. A. J. Lannlngham , who represents the
Commercial Freight Bureau of Kansas City ,
asked Mr. Babcock If he would endeavor to
have the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley
give Kansas City the same rates on stock
from points north of Omaha , provided Lan
nlngham would use his best efforts with the
Missouri , Kansas & Texas to get Kansas
City rates for Omaha. Mr. Babcock an
swered that he would , and then put the same
question to Lannlngham , who answered it
affirmatively.
John 3. Knox , traffic manager of the
Cudahy Packing company , then took the
stand , and after giving a brief history of the
establishment of the South Omaha market
stated that by reason of the Immense busi
ness done by his concern , the necessity of
having cattle at all times of the year and
discrimination of the roads against this point
Mr. Cudahy was compelled to establish a
branch house In Chicago , where ho could
buy Texas cattle.
At the afternoon session the Texas case
was completed on behalf of the complain
ants , and the case was continued till next
Saturday , when the respondents will Intro
duce evidence at Kansas City.
On cross-examination In the afternoon Mr.
Lathrop. representing the receivers of the
Santa Fe. undertook to make John S. Knox
admit that Omaha was recsivlng as favorable
rates as Kansas City , but found him a
tough nut to crack. Mr. Knox produced
figures showing that Kansas City and St.
Joseph shipped hog products to St. Paul for
24 cents per hundred , while Omaha paid 23VS
cents ; that on dressed bppf the Kansas City
rate was 30 cents , and the Omaha rate 28 cents
In going south Omaha la compelled to pay 7
cents per hundred more than Kansas City ,
which makes the rate prohibitory so far as
this city Is concerned.
Mr. Knox had labored with the different
railroad traffic managers and with the va
rious associations , and at one time Mr. Han-
ley , the th"n traffic manager of the Santa
Fe , promised to propose a change to the
association which controlled rates on his
road , but as it took a unanimous vote to
secure a change at the request of ono road ,
nothing was accomplished.
The witness further stated that his con
cern used about COO or 700 cars of salt per
year. As H all conies from Hutchlnson , Kan. ,
which has a rate from C to 7 cents higher
to Omaha than to Kansas City , he approached
preached the Union Pacific , which owns un
developed salt wells near Marysvllle , Kan. ,
and asked It to ship from that point , which
would put Omaha on an equality with Kan
sas City , The only answer be could get was
that salt was a matter of agreement between
the roads , and that to grant his request
would disrupt the whole association.
Mr. Knox stated that on account of the
unjust discrimination on the Texas cattle
rates Mr. Cudahy was compelled to establish
a'house In Chicago , and that he was now
seriously considering the advisability of en
larging the Chicago plant and decreasing the
plant bere.
After closing this case the complaints of
the Kearney merchants regarding sugar rates
were taken up.

Arguments ( or a Septirato ItrcolTor Ilenrd
hr Judge Stillborn.
ST. PAUL , May 1. The matter of the ap
plication of the Oregon Short Line and Utah
Northern railroad for a separate receiver
came on to be heard today before Judge
Sanborn In the United States circuit court.
This road Is a branch of the Union Pacific
and Is now In the hands of the receivers of
the Union Pacific.
There Is a motion for the appointment of
a separate receiver for the Oregon Short
Line and Utah Northern road. Tha motion Is
made by the American Loan and Trust com
pany of Boston , through thetr attorneys ,
Davis , Kellogg & Severance , of St. Paul , and
Moorefield Story and Henry Hyde of Boston.
The trust company is the trustee of whab Is
known as the consolidated mortgage upon the
Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern road ,
amounting to $10,000,000. Previous to this
application and some time In 1893 S. II. H.
Clark , Oliver W. Mink and B. Ellery Ander
son were appointed receivers of the Union
Pacific road , Including the Oregon Short Line
ruad. Subsequently two receivers were added ,
Frctlerio II. Coudert and John W. Doano ,
representing the United States. The receivers
so appointed have operated the Short Line
solely In the Interests of the Union Pacific ,
and have paid no Interest on the mortgages.
In February application was made to Judge
Gilbert In Oregon for the appointment of a
separate receiver , and ho appointed John M.
Egan. The same application la now being
heard before Judge Sanborn , It Is claimed
that If separate receivers are appointed the
property will pay sufficient to pay the- Interest
on Its mortgages , and there being a default
In tbo mortgages , the American Loan and
Trust company claims the right of posses
sion. Should the Oregon remain In the hands
of the present receivers it will teen be lost
to the Union Pacific , because the mortgages
are being foreclosed.
The attorneys opposing the application are
Wlnslow S. Pierce of Now York and John M.
Thurston of Omaha. Senator Davis began his
argument this morning , and will bo followed
by Mr. Story and Mr. Kellogg. Judge San
born has given each side two days.

Notice Sent Out by the Union 1'mclflo In
conveniencing Kosteru Connections.
CHICAGO , May 1. Some of the eastern
connections of the Union Pacific are ftlrred
up over the notices sent out by that line 'n
relation to the ticketing of business co'ng '
west via Omaha. They claim that as the
notice now stands Its effect would bo to
abolish the sale of the through tickets to
many points west ot Omaha. The notice , as
Issued , reads : "On and after May 1 the
Union Pacific will decline to iccpt over its
lines between Council Bluffs end Omaha
tickets having coupons reading over lines
west ot Omaha. "
There are many points west of Omaha not
reached by the Union Pacific , business to
which would naturally pass through Omaha.
If the notice contained the words "to points
reached by the Union Pacific , " ticket a sen In
would know Just what to do , for as the notice
now stands it means that no through tickets
can be gold through Omaha to points now
reached by the Union Pacific. The matter
has caused great Inconvenience to the east

of all cases of consumption can , If taken fa
the earlier stages of the disease , be cured.
This may seem like a bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means Kcncr-
nlly in use for its treatment ; as , nasty cod-
liver oil and its filthy emulsions , extract
of malt , whiskey , different preparations of
liypophosphites and such like palliatives.
Although by many believed to be incura
ble , there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that , in all its
earlier stages , consumption is a curable
disease. Not every case , but a large per
centage of cases , nnd we belie\cJtilly 98
percent , are cured by Dr. 1'ierce's Golden
Jledlcal Discovery , even after the disease
lias progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs , severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration ( including
ing- tubercular matter ) , great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by "Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it. They have , in nearly every
instance , been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians ,
who have no interest whatever in mis
representing them , and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery , "
but who have been forced to confess that
It surpasses , in curative power over this
fatal malady , all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod-
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures , had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene
fit , or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. IJxtract of malt , whiskey ,
and various preparations of the hvnophos-
phitesliad also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption bronchitis ,
lingering- coughs , asthma , chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies , have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of I Co
papea which will be mailed to you , on re
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and leant

Omaha National, $100,000; United States National, Omaha, $200,000. There was about $100,000 in cash and the balance mainly in certificates of deposit.
"Did you receive for that $285,000, " Inquired Judge Wakeley, "anything but certificates of deposit from the Capital National Bank?" "No."
The court then took a recess until 2 p.m.
HARTLEY'S TESTIMONY IN DETAIL.
State Treasurer Hartley resumed the stand in the afternoon and identified the certificates of deposit received from Hill for $285,000 in the Capital National Bank. They were for $160,000, $100,000, and $35,000 in round numbers respectively.
"Did you know at that time, " Inquired Judge Wakeley, "one C. W. Mosher?" "Yes, sir."
"Were you acquainted with the fact that he was president of the Capital National Bank?" "Yes, sir."
Witness then identified his signature on the certificates. Judge Wakeley read the large certificate to the jury, signed by Mosher. It was not subject to checks. By the direction of witness, the certificates were rent to the bank, and he supposed that the state had been given credit for them.
"Did you receive a bank passbook at the time?" "I did."
"Have you got it with you?" Witness did not, but sent a note to his officer after it. This passbook would show, as explained by witness, the exact amounts checked out before the bank failed, some $49,000. The certificates of deposit had been passed to the state's credit, which had then become subject to check. Here the bank passbook was brought into court, examined by the attorneys, and witness went down to his office to procure data on which the various checks drawn against the $19,000 had been given. Witness returned and said he had with him the last check drawn, which had been protested. The following checks had been drawn on the bank:
January 10 $5,000 January 18.
January 16 $21,272 January 19.
January 18 $18,000 January 20.
January 19 $20,000 January 21.
January 20 $8,000 January 21.
January 20 $20,000 January 21.
January 20 $12,000 January 21.
January 21 $67,310 January 21.
January 21 $13,000 January 21.
January 21 $12,000 January 21.
January 21 $22,000 January 21.
January 22 $16,000 January 21.
January 22 $8,000 January 21.
January 22 $43,000
Out of this sum, the following checks had been protested and unpaid, $3,131.30, leaving but $50,230.90 paid:
January 17 $710.14 January 21 $27.51
January 17 $428 January 21 $11.30
January 17 $12,837 January 21 $27.51

HEADED OFF WHITCOMB.
In his cross-examination, Mr. Whitcomb tried to bring out the fact that the Capital National Bank had been made a state depository, but Judge Wakeley objected, and the court sustained him. Judge Wakeley said that they would cross that bridge when they came to it. Mr. Whitcomb switched for a while, but finally drifted around to it again, and the court sharply requested Mr. Whitcomb to keep himself within bounds and not try to beat around the bush and slip in improper cross-examination.
Judge Wakeley said the state was only trying to show by Witness Hartley just how much he had realized on the certificates of deposit, and no more than that. The fact that the bank had been made a depository had, at the present, nothing to do with the case.
Mr. Whitcomb drew from witness the fact that the certificates of deposit from the Capital National Bank had never been in his custody since he had deposited them in the bank and received a credit for the same.
General Cowen said that he began to consider this case in the light of a double-barrelled one, designed to catch defendants going or coming. He claimed that the whole question of deposits in other banks had been gone into on the direct examination.
Mr. Lamberts said he desired to explain his position. As he understood it, a sum equaling $1,600,000 had been deposited in banks illegally. When the evidence had established that fact, which it certainly was doing, then the bondsmen became liable for the whole amount, and for the deficit of the Capital National Bank. The burden of proof did not rest upon the state, to show how much had been realized on these certificates.
Witness said he had first heard of the failure of the bank on Sunday evening, in Omaha. The bank's doors had not opened Monday morning. Witness was then excused.
ACTUAL CONDITION OF THE BANK.
Receiver A. C. Hayden of the Capital National Bank had held such office since June 1, 1893. He was examined by Mr. Lamberts. Had filled all positions in banks from messenger boy to cashier and was a skilled accountant. A bank examiner had taken possession of the bank January 22, 1893. Asked to give a statement of the condition of the bank prior to failure, it was objected to by General Cowen and overruled. Witness answered that it was insolvent, and defense noted an exception.
"You may state whether the bank was solvent or insolvent on the 6th day of January, the day on which the certificates of deposit were given Hartley." "It was insolvent."
"What amount of money did the bank have on hand on that day?" "It had $24,356.25."
"How much did the bank have on hand the day it closed its doors?" "It had $11,117.57."
"What were the liabilities of the bank?" "They were $1,256,135.07."
"Nominal and real assets?" "Nominal assets $1,000,000; real $160,000."
All of these questions were objected to and exceptions taken by the defense. The bills receivable were figured at $999,971, and the cash was about $11,000.
"How much do you estimate the real estate worth?" asked Mr. Whitcomb on cross-examination.
"About $60,000."
There was due from other banks about $7,000. Witness did not include the stock in his estimate of liabilities. One piece of real estate had been sold for $1,000. Had figured the value of the real estate at what he considered it worth. Witness did not agree with Mr. Whitcomb that when a concern failed its assets shrank 40 and 50 percent. "But he thought they might be worth 40 percent more if the concern could go on and close up its business in its own way. The bank on the 6th of January was doing business in the ordinary way and continued to do so up to the evening of the 21st. Had collected $98,000 on the bills receivable. John D. McFarland, one of the bondsmen of Hill, had been Hayden's predecessor as receiver.
STATE MONEY ON DEPOSIT.
Deputy State Treasurer Hartley testified from a record of the monthly balances at the Capital National Bank for two years, 1891 and 1892, as follows:

FeeBook Distribution. Send coins; no stamps. ALLFREEDOM PUBLISHER The Omaha Bee, FREEDOM BOOK DISTRIBUTION. Omaha, Neb. were for. From time to time during the two years they were heard of. He wished to say frankly that if any of them were for money belonging to the permanent school fund they could not be deposited in state depositories under the law. Witness showed that they were for money belonging to temporary school funds. There were two certificates under this head, one for $37,950 and one for $37,114.70. Mr. Wheedon held the state down to the leading fact in which it was not alleged that any permanent school money was deposited in the Capital National bank. Mr. Lamerson said he thought it was admissible to show what kind of moneys had been deposited. Judge Droady said that there was nothing in the petition or the reply relating to this point, and that the defense had not had notice. Mr. Lamerson claimed the right to show the character of the moneys and was sustained by the court. Witness said that he did not know of any of the permanent school fund having been deposited. The court pressed Mr. Lamerson to answer if he were not anticipating a future movement to show that even under the state depository law, Hill had no right to deposit certain moneys in the Capital National bank. Lamerson admitted the fact and the court sustained Mr. Wheedon's objection. Pending Witness Hartlett's testimony, the court adjourned until tomorrow morning. HIGH EMPLOYMENT CONTINUED From Employees to the Superintendent (Condition stimulations), LINCOLN, May 1. (Special.) Drs. Knapp and Manary testified before Governor Holcomb in behalf of Dr. Hay, against whom serious charges of mismanagement of the Lincoln asylum have been preferred. General J. H. Webster, attorney for Dr. Hay, conducted the inquiry, the witnesses being occasionally cross-examined on material points by the governor. Dr. Manary, assistant physician at the asylum, read from his medical record a history of the treatment of several patients said to have been maltreated. He was asked by General Webster as to the general character of Dr. Hay for patients and efficiency, and he replied that it was excellent. Dr. Manary's testimony was corroborative of Dr. Knapp's, and both were strongly eulogistic of the ability and perfect fitness of Dr. Hay for the position of superintendent of the asylum. George J. Hodgett, a discharged patient, was on the stand in the afternoon. He told a long story of abuse, and illustrated how he had been bumped around the asylum during his short term in the institution. Attendants Hear, Hobblins and Norland testified in behalf of Dr. Hay. They all said they had been employed in other institutions, and that the practice in Lincoln was as good as in other asylums where they had been employed. Mrs. Western, an attendant in the female ward, was emphatic in her opinion that good management prevailed at the asylum. W. C. Algord, another attendant, corroborated her story. All the witnesses, with the exception of the ex-patient, Hodgett, were put on the stand as witnesses for Dr. Hay and proved so to the end. The investigation will be resumed Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, when it is expected some testimony strongly against the superintendent will be introduced. Dr. Abbott will not be obliged to wait until May 27 for the injunction case initiated by Dr. Hay to be decided. In the district court today a stipulation was signed by the two doctors and filed, setting the hearing of the injunction to prevent Abbott from interfering with Hay in the peaceful possession of the asylum for May 10. Dr. Hay filed a bond in the sum of $500, signed by himself and S. A. Shilling, promising to pay Abbott all damages which may accrue to him should the injunction be found to have been issued without cause. HOLCOMB WILL NAME THE UMPIRE. Since the selection of A. H. Gale as Contractor Dorgan's appraiser of prison property in his possession, a controversy has sprung up as to whether or not Governor Holcomb is authorized to appoint an umpire, making the third man in the case. Quite a number of people around the state capital are claiming that the governor will not appoint one. It can be stated authoritatively that Governor Holcomb will name a man, and that he will not wait the full thirty days in which he has to do so, but will name him within a very short time. The law, house roll No. 607, emphatically says the governor "shall appoint," making it mandatory upon him to do so. Mr. Gale is a well-known farmer of Bassett, Rock county. He was a member of the legislature of 1891, elected on the populistic ticket, but shook the party after being elected. Fifty members of the Nebraska State Homeopathic Medical society are in attendance on the twenty-second annual meeting. The morning session was a business meeting. The treasurer's report showed a handsome balance. This afternoon President Davis of Omaha read his annual address, which was followed by papers from various members on medical topics. The session will close tomorrow afternoon. Dr. Mackay, the new superintendent of the Norfolk asylum, is in attendance. PRINTING CONTRACTS LET. The state printing was let today, but on a number of bids for miscellaneous blanks the printing board was not able today to figure up the difference in the bids. The Nebraska Newspaper union was awarded the printing of the senate journal, 2,000 copies, at $2.35. Jacob North & Co. secured the house journal, 1,000 copies, at $2.10. The Omaha Printing company was awarded the session laws, 5,000 copies, at $5.45. The Lincoln Journal was given the printing of 100,000 vouchers for the lump sum of $568.60. The figures received this year are a trifle lower than the average of two years ago. Misner's bank of Shelton has been authorized by the State Banking board to commence business on May 1, with a capital of $10,000. The incorporators are H. J. Robbins, M. G. Leo and George Misner. These three are at present owners of the First National bank, which it is thought will wind up its business in favor of the new state bank. Major Fechet, Inspector of the Nebraska National Guard, will review the State university cadets on the campus of that institution next Friday afternoon, May 3. WOMAN'S EDITION IN DEMAND. Much Patronizing Comment Throughout the State on The Day Live. BEATRICE, May 1. (Special Telegram.) Everybody wanted to see the ladies' edition of The Bee today and those who had not made an advance purchase of one or more besieged the newsdealers for copies. Much favorable comment as to its appearance and character of its contents was heard upon the street. The Daily Express also spoke in flattering terms of the number. FREMONT, May 1. (Special.) When the woman's edition of The Bee arrived here this morning there was considerable demand for extra copies and unusual interest was taken in the paper by old subscribers. None but favorable comments were heard and the editorial page was especially commended. The struck by lightning. PIERCE, Neb., May 1. (Special.) Lightning struck a large barn on the William Manske farm, two miles east of town, last night, burning the building. Manske ran out of his house when he saw the barn burning and cut loose six head of horses and drove ten head of cattle out. A small quantity of hay, oats, and corn, 100 bushels of wheat, three cuts of harness, one binder and one corn planter were consumed. Value of building, about $600; insurance, $450, in Farmers' of Norfolk. Weiled in Terminal, TERAMAH, Neb., May 1. (Special.) The marriage of Miss Lida Clark to S. A.

CROP PROSPECTS IMPROVED
Torrents of Rain Throughout Nebraska
Encourages the Farmers,
NANCE COUNTY IN EXCELLENT SHAPE

that Locality-Seed Grain Being Distributed In Many Counties,
Up to Honorably.
The warmest May in the state of Nebraska during the past nineteen years was that of 1881, with a mean temperature of 64.7 degrees. The coldest May was that of 1892, with a mean temperature of 51.7 degrees. The average mean temperature of Nebraska for May is 58.9 degrees.
The warmest day in May during the past nineteen years occurred in May, 1894, when the mercury rose to 105 degrees. The coldest day was also in 1894, when the temperature fell to 12 degrees.
The prevailing winds for May are from the southeast; the highest velocity recorded was eighty-four miles an hour at North Platte on May 22, 1877.
The driest May during the period was that of 1894, when the average precipitation for the state was 0.91 inches. The largest precipitation was that of May, 1881, when 6.28 inches fell during the month. The average precipitation for the state as a whole in May is 3.60 inches. The following map shows the normal precipitation for May throughout the state as derived from the averages for nineteen years:
FULLERTON, Neb., May 1. (Special.) The finest rain for two years fell here last evening. The farmers in Nance County are in fine spirits over the prospect for good crops. Small grain of all kinds is looking splendid, and about one-half of the corn has been planted.
Congressman Mikeljohn shipped in from North Bend 600 bushels of nice seed corn, which he distributed yesterday among the farmers of this county, taking seed grain notes for same, to become due November 1, 1895. This will prove of great benefit to many farmers.
GOTHENBURG, Neb., May 1. (Special.) This section of the country was visited by a heavy rain and hail storm last night. Many lights were broken in windows fronting south. The hail was accompanied by a strong wind, but did no great damage. It rained to the depth of a foot and small grain of all kinds is looking well. One thousand bushels of seed corn was distributed among the farmers of this section today, and if there is no great change in the weather, corn planting will be in full blast by Monday.
FREMONT, Neb., May 1 (Special.) The rain of Sunday morning has already shown its effect on crops and vegetation. The early sowing of beet seeds is reported as coming up in good shape, and will be at least two weeks ahead of the seed put in now.
ORLEANS, Neb., May 1. (Special.) For about two hours this afternoon the rain has been coming down in torrents. It is the best rain for over two years. About two inches have already fallen, and it is still raining. The ground is in excellent condition. Grand prospects for a large crop.
ST. PAUL, Neb., May 1. (Special.) A light rain fell yesterday afternoon and last night.
AURORA, Neb., May 1. (Special.) An inch of rain fell here last night, soaking the ground again nicely. The crops could hardly be in better condition at this season of the year.
SHELBY, Neb., May 1. (Special.) A thunderstorm came up at 9 o'clock last night and it rained at intervals for twelve hours. The ground is thoroughly soaked. This was the fourth rain since Sunday morning. Most of the farmers have begun corn planting. No ground will go to waste because of insufficient seed.
NORDEN, Neb., May 1. (Special.) The hardest rain for nearly two years occurred last night, lasting about six hours. The town is full of smiling faces, and a general feeling of confidence in the outlook prevails.
CENTRAL CITY, Neb., May 1. (Special Telegram.) An inch of rain fell last night in this county and fully as much more this afternoon and evening. The indications are of raining tonight. The rain this afternoon was accompanied by hail. The crop outlook was never better at this time of the year.
ORESHAM, Neb., May 1. (Special.) This vicinity was visited by a heavy rain last night about 9 o'clock, accompanied by some hail and wind, the precipitation being about one inch. Crops are looking splendid.
EXETER, Neb., May 1. (Special.) A light but much needed rain visited this part of the country about 9 o'clock yesterday evening and light showers continued through the night. It will revive vegetation very much. Oats, rye, and wild grass are looking fine.
CHADRON, Neb., May 1. (Special.) For the second time in the past three days this section has received a copious rain. Grain is nearly all planted and the outlook for a good crop is most encouraging.
OXFORD, Neb., May 1. (Special Telegram.) An ominous looking funnel-shaped cloud, said to be a genuine twister, passed down the valley today, carrying with it great clouds of dust and debris. It dipped to the ground several times, but did no serious damage to property, as no buildings happened to be in its path. A soaking rain fell today, the fourth in less than a week. Crop prospects could not be better.
ELM CREEK, Neb., May 1. (Special Telegram.) This vicinity has been visited with two thorough soaking rains in the last twenty-four hours, insuring the crop of small grain against drought. Rye, oats, and wheat look good.
LITCHFIELD, Neb., May 1. (Special.) A good rain fell last night. Prospects for a crop are more promising than in two years.
O'NEILL, Neb., May 1. (Special) Another heavy rain visited this section last night. Three inches of rain fell during the four hours time the storm lasted. This brings the amount of precipitation for April up to six and one-half inches, and is a record breaker in this section. Several irrigation dams built upon creeks in the north part of the county have been washed out by the heavy rains.
GENOA, Neb., May 1. (Special.) While the moisture has been sufficient to keep the ground in fair condition for planting, yet it remained for the downpour of rain last night to gladden the hearts of Genoa people with a well-grounded hope of a bounteous crop. The small grain is looking fine, far above the average, and early though it be, farmers are well advanced in corn planting. The area will be greater than last year. The fruit prospects were never so good in this locality.
GENOA, Neb., May 1. (Special Telegram.) During a heavy thunderstorm at 7:30 this evening an unoccupied two-story business house on Wilard Avenue was struck by lightning, severely shocking the inmates of an adjoining furniture store. Damage slight.
Austin, Tex., May 1. The rains which commenced last week continue, and the farmers report that corn, which was dying, is reviving. Nearly all the cotton will have to be replanted. Oats are too far gone for rains to revive them and the crop will be a total failure. Grass on the range is coming up, but stock water is still scarce.
Kansas City, May 1. Dispatches to the Associated Press from Oklahoma and Kansas points report a general rain last night. In Oklahoma a drought lasting almost nine months is broken, and, while wheat is beyond help, corn and oats and cotton will be greatly benefited.
This is an important document for those interested in the history of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and its surrounding areas during May 1896. It provides insight into the weather conditions, crop progress, and other local news of the time. Here is the corrected text based on the instructions provided:
"CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, May 1. (Special Telegram.) A soaking rain has been falling here for some hours, with prospects of its continuation for some hours. Corn planting will now be hurried forward as rapidly as possible. Small guides in excellent condition."
"OTTUMWA, Iowa. May 1. An inch of rain fell along the road today from Ottumwa east to the Mississippi River. The rain is of inestimable value to crops."
"ALL LOOKS SUGGESTFUL AT FENNBUEGAN Without Action."
"TENDER, Wet, May 1. (Special Telegram.) A heavy rain left the roads in bad condition and Sheriff Mullin has deferred his trip to the agency to arrest Bonaparte, the Indian who assaulted the Winnebago brother-in-law of President Lemmon of the Flour company, until tomorrow morning. An Indian who came in from the agency last night reported to Lemmon that Bonaparte was in hiding, but it is said that his whereabouts were given to the authorities. Ordinarily a personal encounter between Indians would not attract attention, but in this instance a relative of one of the central figures in the present land trouble was assaulted and Lemmon resented it by swearing out the warrant. It is believed that the arrest of Bonaparte is inspired by Lemmon as a test and that if Captain Beck officially recognizes the right of the sheriff at this time to make arrests at the agency for an offense committed on the reservation, it would be inconsistent to offer resistance in the future should the sheriff seek to serve papers in assault cases which might accrue later on between tenants and Indian police. The sheriff believes now that he will not be molested when he arrests Bonaparte and that Captain Beck will cheerfully surrender the Indian wanted.
"The Indian police in jail were to have been voluntarily released by the authorities before the expiration of their sentence, but a rumor reached the officers that Captain Beck or Tom Sloan would make an effort to secure a writ of habeas corpus and that Sloan was in Omaha or Lincoln for that purpose. It was decided to hold the prisoners, as the county authorities are eager to test the question of authority.
"All kinds of rumors are afloat, but the general impression now is that Mullin will get Bonaparte without a struggle and in the event of the failure of Captain Beck to secure a writ of habeas corpus for the release of Elk and Big Hawk, he will not attempt further evictions with Indian police until the courts decide the question.
"Panthers claim that troops cannot be sent here as long as no blood is shed, and while it would require very little to precipitate trouble, it is now evident that war talk is dwindling into whispers of peace and the entire battle will be fought out in the courts. Excitement is subsiding, but interest is by no means abated."
"DISASTROUS FIRE AT THE Santee Government School"
"Niobrara, Neb., May 1. (Special Telegram.) The government school building at Santee agency was burned to the ground last evening. This makes the second school building that has burned within four years, and a few weeks ago a large annex burned. The loss is about $40,000."
"WINTER THE OVERLOADER TO SETTLE."
"Elkhorn, Neb., May 1. (Special.) J. C. Stubbs, former ballast contractor of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, is here for the purpose of effecting a settlement with the Union Pacific receivers for rebalancing he claims is due him on a ballast contract. Stubbs burned a kiln of ballast two miles east of this city for the Union Pacific last season, and he claims there are several thousand dollars yet due him. The railway denies the claim and has a large force of men engaged in removing the ballast from the points along the line where it is used on the roadbed. Stubbs, acting on the advice of his attorneys, will make an effort to gain possession of the kiln peacefully or otherwise hold it until the railroad people settle his claim.
"There was a class meeting of the citizens held here last evening for the purpose of selecting a committee to ascertain, as near as possible, the individual losses on account of the Easter Sunday fire and apportion the benefits now in hand among the principal losers proportionally."
"GOTHENBURG, Neb., May 1. (Special.) Yesterday Fred Gerdes, who lives two miles east of this city, swore out a warrant charging Leonard Nelson and James Barnico with assault. Gerdes has the quarter section of land adjoining Nelson leased. Nelson pays no attention to this lease, but turns his stock on the land regardless of notice. Yesterday Gerdes rode out and attempted to take up the stock, when Nelson and Barnico appeared and Barnico held Gerdes while Nelson drove away the stock. At the trial before Justice Linn today Barnico and Nelson pleaded guilty. Sentence will probably be passed tomorrow."
"SHOT THE BROKEN FARMER."
"Lincoln, May 1. (Special Telegram.) At 6 o'clock this evening while Gustavo Behrwal was eating his supper, some colored boys began throwing stones through his window. He went out, followed by his wife, when the boys attacked the woman. Behrwal went into the house and got a shotgun. As he came through the door the lock caught on a screen door and the gun exploded, the charge entering the left arm of his wife.
"Jailed."
"ASHLAND, Neb., May 1. (Special.) Sheriff Whitelock today received a telegram from Waverly to arrest two men who were suspected of being burglars. The men gave their names as Jim Adams and Jack Burke. They declare they have no knowledge of what they are held for and are not the least bit uneasy."
"Defunct Bank Mini."
"Beatrice, May 1. (Special Telegram.) Gage County commenced action today in the district court against the defunct American Bank and its bondsmen for $4,200, the amount the county treasurer had on deposit with the bank at the time its doors were closed in July 1893.
"Injured while Following."
ORD, May 1. Special Telegram. While wrestling with a schoolmate, Anthony Kokes was thrown against a post and the point of a lead pencil pierced his breast, inflicting a dangerous wound. TEXAS RATES CASE HEARD Interstate Commerce Commissioners Finish Their Work at Omaha. FURTHER TESTIMONY AT KANSAS CITY Local Shippers Show the Advantage of the Difference in Rates from Texas in Favor of St. Joseph and Kansas City Stock Yards Vitally Interested. The Interstate Commerce commission continued taking testimony yesterday in the case of the Commercial club against the various railways, wherein it is alleged that they have been discriminating in favor of St. Joseph and Kansas City on rates from the south. W. N. Babcock, general manager of the stock yards company, testified practically the same as he did on Tuesday. On cross-examination, Mr. Hagenback asked the witness if it was not a fact that by reason of its better location and larger market Kansas City was in a position to command better rates from the different roads. In answer, the witness stated that Kansas City rates were controlled by a one-man power and that that one man was heavily interested in the Kansas City stock yards and in railroads running into those yards. In answer to another question, Mr. Babcock stated that about 600 cars of feeders had been shipped to Kansas City from this market between October 1, 1894, and March 1 of this year, and that about 200 cars had been bought by Omaha packers in Kansas City and shipped here for slaughter. Mr. A. J. Lanningham, who represents the Commercial Freight Bureau of Kansas City, asked Mr. Babcock if he would endeavor to have the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley give Kansas City the same rates on stock from points north of Omaha, provided Lanningham would use his best efforts with the Missouri, Kansas & Texas to get Kansas City rates for Omaha. Mr. Babcock answered that he would, and then put the same question to Lanningham, who answered it affirmatively. John S. Knox, traffic manager of the Cudahy Packing company, then took the stand, and after giving a brief history of the establishment of the South Omaha market stated that by reason of the immense business done by his concern, the necessity of having cattle at all times of the year and discrimination of the roads against this point, Mr. Cudahy was compelled to establish a branch house in Chicago, where he could buy Texas cattle. At the afternoon session, the Texas case was completed on behalf of the complainants, and the case was continued till next Saturday, when the respondents will introduce evidence at Kansas City. On cross-examination in the afternoon, Mr. Lathrop, representing the receivers of the Santa Fe, undertook to make John S. Knox admit that Omaha was receiving as favorable rates as Kansas City, but found him a tough nut to crack. Mr. Knox produced figures showing that Kansas City and St. Joseph shipped hog products to St. Paul for 24 cents per hundred, while Omaha paid 23½ cents; that on dressed beef the Kansas City rate was 30 cents, and the Omaha rate 28 cents in going south Omaha is compelled to pay 7 cents per hundred more than Kansas City, which makes the rate prohibitive so far as this city is concerned. Mr. Knox had labored with the different railroad traffic managers and with the various associations, and at one time Mr. Hagan, the then traffic manager of the Santa Fe, promised to propose a change to the association which controlled rates on his road, but as it took a unanimous vote to secure a change at the request of one road, nothing was accomplished. The witness further stated that his concern used about 600 or 700 cars of salt per year. As it all comes from Hutchinson, Kan., which has a rate from 6 to 7 cents higher to Omaha than to Kansas City, he approached the Union Pacific, which owns undeveloped salt wells near Marysville, Kan., and asked it to ship from that point, which would put Omaha on an equality with Kansas City. The only answer he could get was that salt was a matter of agreement between the roads, and that to grant his request would disrupt the whole association. Mr. Knox stated that on account of the unjust discrimination on the Texas cattle rates Mr. Cudahy was compelled to establish a house in Chicago, and that he was now seriously considering the advisability of enlarging the Chicago plant and decreasing the plant here. After closing this case, the complaints of the Kearney merchants regarding sugar rates were taken up. OREGON SHORT LINE CASH IN COURT Arguments for a Separate Receiver Heard by Judge Stillborn. St. Paul, May 1. The matter of the application of the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern railroad for a separate receiver came on to be heard today before Judge Sanborn in the United States circuit court. This road is a branch of the Union Pacific and is now in the hands of the receivers of the Union Pacific. There is a motion for the appointment of a separate receiver for the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern road. The motion is made by the American Loan and Trust company of Boston, through their attorneys, Davis, Kellogg & Severance, of St. Paul, and Moorefield Story and Henry Hyde of Boston. The trust company is the trustee of what is known as the consolidated mortgage upon the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern road, amounting to $10,000,000. Previous to this application and sometime in 1893 S. H. H. Clark, Oliver W. Mink and B. Ellery Anderson were appointed receivers of the Union Pacific road, including the Oregon Short Line road. Subsequently, two receivers were added, Frederic H. Coudert and John W. Doan, representing the United States. The receivers so appointed have operated the Short Line solely in the interests of the Union Pacific, and have paid no interest on the mortgages. In February, application was made to Judge Gilbert in Oregon for the appointment of a separate receiver, and he appointed John M. Egan. The same application is now being heard before Judge Sanborn. It is claimed that if separate receivers are appointed the property will pay sufficient to pay the interest on its mortgages, and there being a default in the mortgages, the American Loan and Trust company claims the right of possession. Should the Oregon remain in the hands of the present receivers, it will soon be lost to the Union Pacific, because the mortgages are being foreclosed. The attorneys opposing the application are Winslow S. Pierce of New York and John M. Thurston of Omaha. Senator Davis began his argument this morning, and will be followed by Mr. Story and Mr. Kellogg. Judge Sanborn has given each side two days. MAKES TROUBLE FOR PASSING MEN Notice Sent Out by the Union Pacific in Conveniencing Western Connections. Chicago, May 1. Some of the eastern connections of the Union Pacific are angered over the notices sent out by that line in relation to the ticketing of business through west via Omaha. They claim that as the notice now stands its effect would be to abolish the sale of the through tickets to many points west of Omaha. The notice, as issued, reads: "On and after May 1, the Union Pacific will decline to accept over its lines between Council Bluffs and Omaha tickets having coupons reading over lines west of Omaha." There are many points west of Omaha not reached by the Union Pacific, business to which would naturally pass through Omaha. If the notice contained the words "to points reached by the Union Pacific," ticket agents would know just what to do, for as the notice now stands it means that no through tickets can be sold through Omaha to points now reached by the Union Pacific. The matter has caused great inconvenience to the eastern connections of the Union Pacific, as the order went into effect today. Insufficiency of Mill Rates to Rent.
CHICAGO, May 1. Passenger representatives of the Central Traffic Association lines met here today, principally for the purpose of considering the issue of an Interchanges-Standard mileage ticket, for which the traveling men have been working desperately for some time. So many of the roads were opposed to issuing such a ticket that the case of the traveling men was hopeless before the meeting began. After a short discussion, the proposition to issue Interchangeable tickets was laid on the table, where it will, without question, be allowed to remain. No other action of interest was taken in the meeting.
The meetings of the Cedar Rapids, Iowa Rails & Northwestern railway, the Cedar Rapids & Clinton railway, the Iowa City & Western railway, and the Chicago, Decorah & Minnesota railway, leased lines of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids, Iowa & Northern Railway Company, were held in the company's office here today. Directors and the following officers were chosen: C. J. Ive, president and general manager; J. C. Brockensmith, vice president; W. P. Grady, secretary; S. S. Downworth, treasurer, and H. K. White, chief engineer. The officers are the same for all the companies except the Iowa City, of which H. H. Hollister of New York is treasurer and S. S. Downworth assistant treasurer.
The Equity Clothing Co. will do no more business at 13th and Farnam Street, at least it looks that way by the sign that will be seen on the front door this morning. Further particulars than this could not be learned, as none of the proprietors could be seen. It is to be hoped, however, that some sort of compromise will be made that will enable the Equity to resume.

"Pain is yet to come," the last of the three great months, the close of nature's yearly revival season. Recovery is now the most rapid and lasting. Paine's celery compound makes vigorous nerves, purifies the blood as nothing else can possibly do. As a spring remedy, Paine's celery compound stands easily first in the careful judgment of the physicians of this country.
This remarkable discovery of Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M.D., LL.D., of Dartmouth college is in fact so certainly first in the estimation of thinking men and women in every calling throughout the United States today that there can fairly be said to be no second. For strengthening the sick, restoring the spent energies of those who have become nervously exhausted, for purifying the blood and making people well, Palne's celery compound has never yet been approached by any sarsaparilla, tonic or nervine. It is as superior to them all as strength is superior to weakness. The remarkable results from the use of this great remedy are today known at first hand in every city and village in America.
The people are today thoroughly satisfied by personal experience that Palne's celery compound makes people well.
Where the nerves have not been properly fed and neuralgia, nervousness, inability to sleep, rheumatism and such evidences of debility have entered, Palne's celery compound has created a new appetite, restored lost strength and given courage, new blood and a strong, healthy will to live and get well.

COURT RULES AGAINST TH- DEFENDANT
WltneMcg Testify to Some Irrrgulir Work
on Itlcliiiioiid's Part Ccrllllciitci of
Htoik tinned Mild Cancelled
VUtlitiut .Authority.
W. S. nichmonu of the Union Building and
Savings asaocldtlon entered the federal court
vcsterday morning without the largo dla
mends which were so Important a part of
his makeup on the opening day ot the trial.
The entire day was taken up with tha Intro
duction of evidence , the most Interesting
being that of J. T. Illlck , ono of the three
stockholders who brought Richmond's term
of olllce to nn abrupt clore and had the busi
ness of the association put Into the hands of
the receiver.
District Attorney Tullen asked him to pro
duce a ccitlficate of stock belonging to Mrs.
Mary n. Uhocles of Burlington and to testify
to an examination made by him regarding
the clock. An objection to this testimony
brought on a sharp discussion between the
attorneys and the court. Mr. Fullcn said he
expected to show that Richmond , without
Mrs. Rhodes' authority , had entered upon the
books of the association her withdrawal and
represented to the association that he had
sent ,1 Chicago draft to Mr' . Rhodes for the
amount coming to her , but In fact turned
the draft over to his mother , Tis. L. M
Richmond , who emlorbsd the draft.
Attorney Prouty for the defense contended
that thli sort of evidence would not be ad
missible , because even If It should be proved
that Richmond had done all he was charged
with doing It would not constitute a "scheme
to defraud" within the meaning of the slat
ute A "scheme to defraud" Implied some
thing broad , not mere ) } the making of false
pretends to deceive an Individual Where a
bink had been organized a good while and
for vnae reason or other Its credit had be
come Impaired the caviller would be amenabla
to the Plate KVT , not to the government , If
lie should wHtc a letter to some one to worli
up further business.
Judge Shlrag , however , held that a scheme
might be devised to defraud an Individua
as well as the public generally The United
Slates had parsed the law regulating the use
of the malls for the purpobe of preventing
people from using the malls to violate the
state lawn , ami the court must know whether
ihese state laws had been violated before 1
could be detei mined whether the Unite
States laws had been violated. So Illlck' :
tesllmony went In.
Illlck further related that In looking over
the books he learned that Mrs. Rhodes had
never surrendered her stock , and that th
draft had never been paid at an > bank In
DCS Molncs , and about five or six weeks ago
he called Richmond's attention to the fact
and asked him for an explanation Richmond
mend was unable to explain at the time , but
said ho would look It up and let him know.
This he had never done.
He also learned that J. K. Smith of Bur
lington had sold eighty acres of land In
Guthrle county to Richmond and had re
ceived In payment an $ SOO certificate of stock.
Illlck was unable to find from the books
that this certificate had ever been paid for.
Ho called on Richmond for an explanation ,
but failed , as In the first Instance , to learn
anything satisfactory
In the afternoon Mrs. Rhodes was put
upon the stand and corroborated Illlck's
statements , saying that she had given no
notice of withdrawal and received no money
from the association She did not authorize
the signature of the name of L. M. Richmond
mend to the draft , and never had It In her
possession.
0 U. Owens , formerly president of the as
sociation , and Joseph A. linrnhlll , formerly
secretary , told substantially the same story.
The condition ot the company demanded a
statement to the stockholders , and the latter
were clamoring for It. D. A. Poorman was
therefore called In and Instructed to go
through the books Richmond objected to so
much circ being taken as Owens and liarn-
hlll thought were necessary , and when they
insisted he demanded their resignations ,
which were soon forthcoming. Richmond
seemed to have some sort of hypnotic In
fluence over them ; why It was they could
not say , but they only knew that they sought
to avoid trouble and handed In their resig
nations , as they were asked to do , Richmond
mend then got himself appointed secretary
and Instructed Poormnn to merely make out
a balance sheet , instead of going through
the books and make a thorough checking up ,
and Poorman obeyed his instructions , Poor
man was also put upon the stand and cor
roborated these statements
The evidence Introduced by the govern
ment today Is likely to be Interesting , from
the fact that William W Wilcoxen , the re
ceiver , and R. H. Lyman , his book-keeper ,
are to bo put upon the stand Thev have
made a thorough examination of the associa
tion's books and are well posted In Its affairs.

WASHINGTON , D. C. , May 1. A state
ment has been prepared at the Bureau of
Immigration which shows the number of
Immigrants which arrived In the United
States for the nine months ending March 31 ,
In each of the last three years to have been
as follows1893 , 259.GGO ; 1894 , 218,648 ; 1895 ,
140,980. The amount of money brought In by
Immigrants during the past nine months
was $2,395,846. Although this amount was
known to have been brought , It Is believed
that the money secreted and undiscovered by
the officials may have been several times that
amount. Of the arrivals during the last nine
months , 21,504 came from Ireland ; 21,100
from Germany ; 19,160 from Russia proper ,
16,125 from Italy and 1C.11G from England ,
Of those debarred from landing 1,071 were
paupers , or likely to become bo ; eleven were
shown to have been convicts , and 853 con
tract laborers. Of those landed , 19,602 could
neither read nor write. Of those who
brought money , Germany heads the list with
$551,884 ; Irish Immigrants brought $317,501 ;

THE TASK OX
Karopmn Government * Will Not lla Allowed
to Co llrct I'rlTnto Lcbt * by Tnrce.
WASHINGTON , May 1. Although the
State department has sanctioned tlic princi
ple of the right ot an European nation to col
lect an Indemnity for a national Intuit offered
to It by an American nation , or to secure
redress for the abuse or 111 treatment of Its
citizens and Infringement ot their property
rights , It can safely be predicted It will not
under any clrcumitances permit nny Euro
pean government to attempt by the display
of force to collect moneys owing by the South
or Central American states to Individual * on
account of moneys loaned. In 1881 Secretary
Illalne wrote to United States Minister Noyca
at Paris , at a time when the French govern
ment was about to undertake a demonstration
against Venezuela to force that country to
meet payments to French bondholders on ac
count of the national debt , that the United
States woulil 'regard with graveanxKy
any attempt on the part ot Franco to force
by hostile pressure the payment by Venezuela
of her debt to French citizens , and cvin before
this the doctrine had bsen well established ;
notwithstanding the pre sure that was brought
to bear by the great financial centers of
Europe to have their governments under
take' the collection of debts owing to them
Thtrefore there Is no ground for apprehen
sion of a forcible attempt by the British to
collect debts owing by Honduras to llrltlih
bondholders on account of a government
loan , and this Fame doctrine may be at this
time of great comfort to many of the small
republics of this hemisphere that have been
obliged by the stress of hard times and revo
lutions to default In the pijment of the Inter
est and principal of their national debts.
The position taken by the State department
Is that there Is no rule of International law
authorizing the use of force to collect Indi
vidual debts , and that persons who take
bonds Issued on account of the national debts
of an American republic must take the
chances of thMr collection In the ordinary
way , putting themselves on a footing of the
Inhabitants of the country borrowing the
money.

IJureiiu Chief * Submit t'lvo Reports on the
WASHINGTON , May , 1. For the first
tlmo In Its history the Board of Naval Bu
reau Chiefs have come to an absolute dis
agreement nnd have been obliged so to report
to Secretary Herbert , leaving him to de
termine which side Is right. The disagree
ment grows out of the designs for the six
new gunboats for which plans were pre
pared by the construction bureau. There are
two reports on the subject , one signed by
four members of the board , totally disapprov
ing of the plans , and ono signed by two
numbers , vigorously upholding them. The
four members objected that the boats pro
posed will draw fourteen feet of water , and
so would not meet the requirements of the
act of congress , which descrlb's them as
light draught gunboats It Is held that the
fitting of the vessels with a complete full
sail power Is a mistake , as the experience of
the department with such vessels as the
, Adams shows that no steamer fitted with
sails can beat against the wind and there
fore the- sails will bo almost useless In aver
age conditions. On the other hand , the sup
porters of the plans undertake to damon-
strate that the vessels will be efficient and
very much more economical than boats with
out sails , arguing that criticism Is founded
on vessMs not given full sail power , and giv
ing figures to support their assertions.

Indirectly the outgrowth ot his refusal while
In Admiral Meade's flagship , the New York ,
at Barbadoea , to visit a sick sailor on a
Norwegian bark , on the ground that his visit
might endanger the health ot the personnel
of the flagship , are really based on , two
charges. The first Is that he violated the
regulations In writing a report to the sur
geon general at Brooklyn , Instead ot confining
himself to the authorized channels. The
second charge is that which takes the- case
out of the ordinary run of court rmrtlals , for
It accuses the ofilcEr ot scandalous conduct ,
tending to the destruction of good morals.
In falsely testifying that hs did not make
these reports as charged In the Inquiry con

sured by Mr Olney that he had been from the
first anxious to have the case heard at the
first opportunity , and would give the neces
sary Instructions to the United States at
torney at San Francisco. On account of
bonds Issued by the government to the
Central Pacific Railroad company and the
accrued Interest there will soon bcome duo
to the government about $00,000,000. Under
the laws of the state of California each
stockholder ot a corporation Is Individually
liable for his proportion of Its debts. The
Stanford estate owns about one-quarter , or
$15,000,000 , of the Central Pacific block , anJ
hence Its alleged liability to that amount
Suit was brought In anticipation of the fail
ure of the stockholders to meet this obliga

brought up In the United States supreme
court for a hearing at the next October term.

IMMEDIATE SELECTION NOT EXPECTED
Dr. Durj-cn's Itoilgimtlon Accepted nt n
Church Meeting Iatt Keening null
thu Sentiment ot the Muritberi
In lirsolutlom.
At the Tlrst Congregational church a spe
cial meeting was held last n'ght ' to consider
the resignation of Dr. Durvca , which was
road from the pulpit last Sunday. The re'lg-
ration was read before the meeting lait night
and was Immediately accepted In accord
ance with the doctors desires.
A committee was appointed to Invite the
several Congregational churchei in this city
and vicinity to take part In a meeting called
for next Thursday at 2 o'clock for the pur
pose of concurring In the action taken by
the members ot the church ami society last
night. The committee on pulpit supply was
authorized to fill the pulpit Until the 1st ot
July unless a permanent pastor was secured
In the meantime. The name of Ucv. W.
H. Wise of Lafajettc , Ind. , was suggested
to the committee and met with the approval
of a number ot those picscnt , and It Is not im
probable that Hev. Wise will bo sccuied to
fill the vacancy caused by Dr. Uuryea's
resignation.
A committee was appointed to draft a set
of resolutions which were passed unan
imously and arc as follows :
Whereas , The Ilcv. Dr Joseph T. Dtirvpi ,
for the last six yeirs the- honored and be
loved pastor of this church and socletj , has
long been restrained by Illness and consequent
quent absence from performing his pastoral
duties and from giving to his people here
the spiritual old and encouragement which
are es cntial to the people of a church ; and
Whereas , It having become clear to Ir
Duryea that he would not bo able for sonic
tlmo to como to resume the arduous duties
of his Omalin pnstorate , he has felt Impelled
to ask , In justice to himself and to the
church ho has Icng and earnestly served for
permanent relief from the pastoral relations ,
andWhereas
Whereas , In reluctantly permitting this
bond-between pastor and people to bo broken ,
In which we have found to much to Inspire
and ennoble , we rcallre how much will be
lest , not alone tcr this church and Its mem
bers , but to thousands ot others about us
for whom ho has graciously labored , there
fore , be It
Ilesolved , That we give this public and
definite expression of our lasting affection ,
the best of our fellowship and continual
gcod wishes for himself and household ; that
we have found In his willingness to do and
to be ; In his cordial Indorsement of every
good work ; In his genial nature , his splendid
intellect , earnest , Intelligent teaching concerning -
corning the church and Its purposes , those
functions which make up a man whose
mission must not t > c confined to the limits
of a church , nor a city , nor a state , If In
deed to a nation ; and be It further
Resolved , That we as a church not only
desire but earnestly pray that his health and
his strength may return ; that the vigor of
action , the grandeur of thought and the po\ver
of expression which have made him the peer
of the honored and the gifted of the earth
may still bo exerted In the Master's belnlf ,
that wherever he may be , In whatsoever he
may do , ho shall have as a lasting Inherit
ance the prayer and the blessings of his
Omaha cluircli.
Ilesolved , That these resolutions be sprcid

Day & Hess and sold them a note and mortgage bearing Russell's signature. When the
note became due, Russell paid it. Later on
Mrs. Cosgrove sprang a note on him, and to

had paid were copies of one another. Mrs. R. Cosgrove claimed that Bilger had forged
the note and her signature, assigning it to
Day & Hess, and that the note she held was
the only true note. Now Russell is suing
Day & Hess for the $400 he paid them, and
Judge Smith will have the pleasure of deciding which of the two notes is genuine and which a forgery.

Richmond Case the Center of Attraction
in the Federal Court,
COURT RULES AGAINST THE DEFENDANT
Witnesses Testify to Some Irregular Work
on Ritchie's Part Certificate of Stock
canceled Mild
Authority.
W. S. Nicholson, the Union Building and Savings Association entered the federal court yesterday morning without the large demands which were so important a part of his makeup on the opening day of the trial. The entire day was taken up with the introduction of evidence, the most interesting being that of J. T. Illick, one of the three stockholders who brought Richmond's term of office to an abrupt close and had the business of the association put into the hands of the receiver.
District Attorney Tullen asked him to produce a certificate of stock belonging to Mrs. Mary N. Rhodes of Burlington and to testify to an examination made by him regarding the clock. An objection to this testimony brought on a sharp discussion between the attorneys and the court. Mr. Fullen said he expected to show that Richmond, without Mrs. Rhodes' authority, had entered upon the books of the association her withdrawal and represented to the association that he had sent a Chicago draft to Mr. Rhodes for the amount coming to her, but in fact turned the draft over to his mother, Mrs. L. M. Richmond, who endorsed the draft.
Attorney Prouty for the defense contended that this sort of evidence would not be admissible, because even if it should be proved that Richmond had done all he was charged with doing, it would not constitute a "scheme to defraud" within the meaning of the statute. A "scheme to defraud" implied something broad, not mere fraud; the making of false pretenses to deceive an individual. Where a bank had been organized a long while and for various reasons or other its credit had become impaired, the civil remedy would be available to the Plate Act, not to the government. If he should write a letter to someone to work up further business.
Judge Shrag, however, held that a scheme might be devised to defraud an individual as well as the public generally. The United States had passed the law regulating the use of the mails for the purpose of preventing people from using the mails to violate the state laws, and the court must know whether these state laws had been violated before it could be determined whether the United States laws had been violated. So Illick's testimony went in.
Illick further related that in looking over the books he learned that Mrs. Rhodes had never surrendered her stock, and that the draft had never been paid at any bank in Des Moines, and about five or six weeks ago he called Richmond's attention to the fact and asked him for an explanation. Richmond was unable to explain at the time, but said he would look into it and let him know. This he had never done.
He also learned that J. K. Smith of Burlington had sold eighty acres of land in Guthrie County to Richmond and had received in payment an $800 certificate of stock. Illick was unable to find from the books that this certificate had ever been paid for. He called on Richmond for an explanation, but failed, as in the first instance, to learn anything satisfactory.
In the afternoon Mrs. Rhodes was put upon the stand and corroborated Illick's statements, saying that she had given no notice of withdrawal and received no money from the association. She did not authorize the signature of the name of L. M. Richmond to the draft, and never had it in her possession.
E. U. Owens, formerly president of the association, and Joseph A. Barnhill, formerly secretary, told substantially the same story. The condition of the company demanded a statement to the stockholders, and the latter were clamoring for it. D. A. Poorman was therefore called in and instructed to go through the books. Richmond objected to so much time being taken as Owens and Barnhill thought were necessary, and when they insisted he demanded their resignations, which were soon forthcoming. Richmond seemed to have some sort of hypnotic influence over them; why it was they could not say, but they only knew that they sought to avoid trouble and handed in their resignations, as they were asked to do. Richmond then got himself appointed secretary and instructed Poorman to merely make out a balance sheet, instead of going through the books and making a thorough checking up, and Poorman obeyed his instructions. Poorman was also put upon the stand and corroborated these statements.
The evidence introduced by the government today is likely to be interesting, from the fact that William W. Wilcoxen, the receiver, and R. H. Lyman, his bookkeeper, are to be put upon the stand. They have made a thorough examination of the association's books and are well posted in its affairs.

CRESTON, ia., May 1. (Special Telegram.) The business portion of the town of Lorimor, on the Chicago Great Western railroad, was entirely swept away at 2 o'clock this morning. The fire originated in the dry goods store of Leak & Brulm and spread rapidly to other buildings. Firefighting facilities were inadequate to arrest the flames and seventeen business houses and four large barns were in ashes in a short time. The fire was so fierce that but little merchandise was saved. Many people residing over business houses had narrow escapes. The loss will reach $60,000, with $15,000 in insurance. It is claimed the fire was of incendiary origin, tramps being charged with the crime. The flames could be seen as far as Creston, a distance of twenty miles. The Anchor Mutual of Creston has a loss of $1,900.

ANAMOSA, ia., May 1. (Special Telegram.) Sheriff McGurraugh brought Cora Smith to the penitentiary to serve a life sentence for the murder of her father today. The meeting between Cora and her mother, who is now doing a life sentence in the same institution, was affecting. They clasped each other in a tender embrace, and sobbed and cried, the daughter exclaiming that she had stood the strain of her guilt as long as she could and that she had to confess. The mother was prostrated with grief. Cora seems greatly relieved with the burden off her mind. She has an uncle in the Anamosa prison serving a two-years' sentence for criminal assault, a brother of Betsy Smith. His name is Jeff Wiley, and he was sent from Polk county to the Fort Madison prison November 22, 1893, and was transferred to Anamosa November 10, 1894. He was an engineer and lost one arm in a wreck. Cora also has a nephew now doing time in the Fort Madison prison for highway robbery.
Mulct Tax Ruling Avoided.
CLINTON, ia., May 1. (Special Telegram) Judge House in the district court has rendered a decision on the mulct law which will attract widespread interest because of attacking the validity of the law. The cases were those of the National Building association against Clinton county, and George C. Smith against Clinton city, previously outlined in these dispatches, in which the plaintiffs sued to foreclose mortgages on the property occupied as saloons, on which the board of supervisors of Clinton county had levied the mulct tax. Judge House decided that the mortgage takes priority over the mulct claim. This will make it comparatively easy to evade the tax by slapping out a mortgage. The case will be carried up.

Imperial Volume Vienna
In Ireland, London, and Germany, in the Amount of Money Brought Over.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 1. A statement has been prepared at the Bureau of Immigration which shows the number of immigrants which arrived in the United States for the nine months ending March 31, in each of the last three years to have been as follows 1893, 259,660; 1894, 218,648; 1895, 140,980. The amount of money brought in by immigrants during the past nine months was $2,395,846. Although this amount was known to have been brought, it is believed that the money secreted and undiscovered by the officials may have been several times that amount. Of the arrivals during the last nine months, 21,504 came from Ireland; 21,100 from Germany; 19,160 from Russia proper, 16,125 from Italy, and 16,126 from England. Of those debarred from landing, 1,071 were paupers, or likely to become so; eleven were shown to have been convicts, and 853 contract laborers. Of those landed, 19,602 could neither read nor write. Of those who brought money, Germany heads the list with $551,884; Irish immigrants brought $317,501; England comes next with $291,818; Italians, $790,012; Swedes, $138,412; Russians, $141,341; and Hungarians, $103,064.

The Task Of
American Government Will Not Be Allowed
to Collect Pristine Left by Force.
WASHINGTON, May 1. Although the
State department has sanctioned the principle
of the right of an European nation to collect an indemnity for a national insult offered
to It by an American nation, or to secure
redress for the abuse or ill treatment of Its
citizens and infringement of their property
rights, It can safely be predicted It will not
under any circumstances permit any European
government to attempt by the display
of force to collect moneys owing by the South
or Central American states to individuals on
account of moneys loaned. In 1881 Secretary
Halifax wrote to United States Minister Noyes
at Paris, at a time when the French government
was about to undertake a demonstration
against Venezuela to force that country to
meet payments to French bondholders on account of the national debt, that the United
States would 'regard with grave anxiety
any attempt on the part of France to force
by hostile pressure the payment by Venezuela
of her debt to French citizens, and even before
this the doctrine had been well established;
notwithstanding the pressure that was brought
to bear by the great financial centers of
Europe to have their governments undertake
the collection of debts owing to them
Therefore there is no ground for apprehension
of a forcible attempt by the British to
collect debts owing by Honduras to British
bondholders on account of a government
loan, and this same doctrine may be at this
time of great comfort to many of the small
republics of this hemisphere that have been
obliged by the stress of hard times and revolutions
to default in the payment of the interest and principal of their national debts.
The position taken by the State department
Is that there is no rule of International law
authorizing the use of force to collect individual debts,
and that persons who take
bonds issued on account of the national debts
of an American republic must take the
chances of their collection in the ordinary
way, putting themselves on a footing of the
inhabitants of the country borrowing the
money.
CANNOT AGREE ON NAVAL PLANS
Board of Naval Bureau Chiefs have come to an absolute disagreement and have been obliged so to report
to Secretary Herbert, leaving him to determine which side is right. The disagreement grows out of the designs for the six
new gunboats for which plans were prepared by the construction bureau. There are two reports on the subject, one signed by
four members of the board, totally disapproving of the plans, and one signed by two members, vigorously upholding them. The
four members objected that the boats proposed will draw fourteen feet of water, and
so would not meet the requirements of the
act of congress, which describes them as
light draft gunboats. It is held that the
fitting of the vessels with a complete full
sail power is a mistake, as the experience of
the department with such vessels as the
Adams shows that no steamer fitted with
sails can beat against the wind and therefore the sails will be almost useless in average conditions. On the other hand, the supporters of the plans undertake to demonstrate that the vessels will be efficient and very much more economical than boats without sails, arguing that criticism is founded
on vessels not given full sail power, and giving figures to support their assertions.
SUI XI; BOND TRIAL WILL BE, in; TIMES.
First Time in Naval History Record Chosen with International Morning.
WASHINGTON, May 1. Secretary Herbert has Issued an order for the trial by
court martial of Medical Inspector Edward
Kersner of the navy, the fleet surgeon of the
North Atlantic squadron. The charges, while
indirectly the outgrowth of his refusal while
in Admiral Meade's flagship, the New York,
at Barbados, to visit a sick sailor on a
Norwegian bark, on the ground that his visit
might endanger the health of the personnel
of the flagship, are really based on two
charges. The first is that he violated the
regulations in writing a report to the surgeon general at Brooklyn, instead of confining
himself to the authorized channels. The
second charge is that which takes the case
out of the ordinary run of court martials, for
It accuses the officer of scandalous conduct,
tending to the destruction of good morals.
In falsely testifying that he did not make
these reports as charged in the inquiry conducted on the flagship. It is said at the
Navy department that this is the first time
in the memory of the office when a naval
officer has been charged with false swearing.
The court martial will be held in New
York on Monday, and the court will be composed of officers of high rank, headed by
Admiral Walker.
MRS. STANFORD DISLIKES THE LITIGATION
Anxious to Settle the Suit Against Her
Husband's Estate Promptly.
WASHINGTON, May 1. Mrs. Leland
Stanford has arrived in Washington
from San Francisco and last night
had an interview with the attorney
general regarding the government suit
against her husband's estate. She was
particularly anxious to have the suit expedited as rapidly as possible and was assured by Mr. Olney that he had been from the
first anxious to have the case heard at the
first opportunity, and would give the necessary
Instructions to the United States attorney at San Francisco. On account of
bonds issued by the government to the
Central Pacific Railroad company and the
accrued interest there will soon become due
to the government about $600,000,000. Under
the laws of the state of California each
stockholder of a corporation is individually
liable for his proportion of its debts. The
Stanford estate owns about one-quarter, or
$15,000,000, of the Central Pacific stock, and
hence its alleged liability to that amount
Suit was brought in anticipation of the failure
of the stockholders to meet this obligation.
It is thought that the suit may be brought up in the United States supreme court for a hearing at the next October term.

WISE MAY SUCCEED DURYEA
Indiana Man May Be Called to the First
Congregational Pulpit,
IMMEDIATE SELECTION NOT EXPECTED
Dr. Duryea's Resignation Accepted at a
Church Meeting Last Evening Filled the Sentiment of the Mother Church in Resolution.
In SOLUTION.
At the First Congregational church, a special meeting was held last night to consider the resignation of Dr. Duryea, which was read from the pulpit last Sunday. The resignation was immediately accepted in accordance with the doctor's desires.
A committee was appointed to invite the several Congregational churches in this city and vicinity to take part in a meeting called for next Thursday at 2 o'clock for the purpose of concuring in the action taken by the members of the church and society last night. The committee on pulpit supply was authorized to fill the pulpit until the 1st of July unless a permanent pastor was secured in the meantime. The name of Rev. W. H. Wise of Lafayette, Ind., was suggested to the committee and met with the approval of a number of those present, and it is not improbable that Rev. Wise will be secured to fill the vacancy caused by Dr. Duryea's resignation.
A committee was appointed to draft a set of resolutions which were passed unanimously and are as follows:
Whereas, Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Duryea, for the last six years the honored and beloved pastor of this church and society, has long been restrained by illness and consequent absence from performing his pastoral duties and from giving to his people here the spiritual comfort and encouragement which are essential to the people of a church; and
Whereas, It having become clear to Dr. Duryea that he would not be able for some time to come to resume the arduous duties of his Omala pastor, he has felt impelled to ask, in justice to himself and to the church he has long and earnestly served for permanent relief from the pastoral relations; and
Whereas, In reluctantly permitting this bond between pastor and people to be broken, in which we have found too much to inspire and ennoble, we recall how much will be lost, not alone to this church and its members, but to thousands of others about us for whom he has graciously labored, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we give this public and definite expression of our lasting affection, the best of our fellowship and continual good wishes for himself and household; that we have found in his willingness to do and to be, in his cordial endorsement of every good work; in his genial nature, his splendid intellect, earnest, intelligent teaching concerning the church and its purposes, those functions which make up a man whose mission must not be confined to the limits of a church, nor a city, nor a state, if indeed to a nation; and be it further
Resolved, That we as a church not only desire but earnestly pray that his health and his strength may return; that the vigor of action, the grandeur of thought and the power of expression which have made him the peer of the honored and the gifted of the earth may still be exerted in the Master's belief, that wherever he may be, in whatsoever he may do, he shall have as a lasting inheritance the prayer and the blessings of his Omaha church.
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the records of the church; that a copy be forwarded to Dr. Duryea and another be given to the daily press for publication.

Interesting Statement of a
Well Known Druggist of
Ypsilanti, Mich.
Mr. Frank Smith, the well-known and popular druggist of Ypsilanti, Mich., in speaking of the Pyramid Pile Cure, says "A year ago I sold C. C. Peters, 111 Hamilton Street, Ypsilanti, Mich., a box of the Pyramid Pile Cure. He made the following statement to me today: 'I have been troubled for twenty years with itching piles have tried nearly everything that promised relief, but got very little help until one year ago. I called upon Frank Smith, druggist, and got a box of the Pyramid Pile Cure. The one box, used according to directions, was, in my case, a perfect cure, as a year spent without any symptoms of the trouble has convinced me.'"
The Pyramid Pile Cure not only gives immediate relief in every form of piles, but the cure is permanent. The piles are cured and stay cured, and whether itching, protruding or bleeding piles, the results are equally satisfactory. It is rapidly taking the place of ordinary salves, ointments and lotions, as well as surgical operations; first, because it cures, and further, because it is cleanly, convenient, painless. One can use it and go about his daily occupation, as it is applied at night and no attention is required during the day furthermore, it is absolutely safe, containing no opium, cocaine or mineral poisons so common in ordinary pile cures. Send to the Pyramid Drug Co., Alpena, Mich., for a treatise on cause and cure of piles and hundreds of testimonial letters from people who have tested the Pyramid and found it a complete cure, or better yet, ask your druggist for a package and give it a trial. Sold everywhere at 60 cents and $1.00 per package.

An incidental ruling of one of tl
Pennsylvania courts has Just brougl
out a curious result of our peculiar cu
rency legislation. It seems that a pa
senger upon a street railway offen
the conductor a five-dollar note for h
fare. The conductor refused to gh
change or to accept the note and c
the persistence of the passongi
ejected him from the car. A suit fi
damages ensued , but the plaintiff bell
unable to swear that the proffered no
was one with the legal tender qualli
attached , was summarily thrown out i
court by the Judge.
The lesson of the decision , which
pointed out by way of commentary
the Philadelphia Press , Is that while v
have maintained every dollar Issued 1
the federal government at a parity wl
every other dollar with reference
purchasing power , there Is one Impo
taut feature In which the different d (
lars are not equal. To compel tl
service of a public servant It Is nc
essary to have currency with the leg
tender quality attached. There are
great many Institutions and business' '
which from the le al standpoint occuj
toward their patrons the position of pu
He servants. Street railways and coi
mon carriers arc perhaps the large
and most Important class under this (
vision , but almost all the franchlst
municipal corporations , gas , water ai
electric lighting works arc under ob
gallon to serve all applicants alike wl
comply with the reasonable regulatloi
which they may have established. ]
most states public warehouses and el
vators must accept goods from all wl
offer. In some , theaters musfaccoi
admission to all orderly persons wl
present the usual fee. Hotels can n
discriminate against particular patrol
without substantial cause. Uut in t
these Instances the prerequisite of tl
right to demand service Is the proffer
tlie compensation which the law allow
Under the ruling to which we have r
ferrcd that proffer must be of legal to
tier currency nnd the tender of ni

If what Is reported regarding t :
complications between Hussla anil Japs
be correct there Is fair promise of so
ous business before a settlement
reached. It seems to be certain th
Hussla Is determined to Insist npi
such a modification of the terms of tl
treaty between China and Japan as s
has suggested and It appears to
equally certain that Japan Is deti
mined not to yield anything stlpnlati
for by the treaty. She does not , accor
lug to the dispatches , recognize ai
right on tlie part of llusslti to intcrfe
and Is disposed to assume a defiant at
tude.
It Is easy enough to understand t
attlt'.ule of Hussla In the matter. Th
country deblred the defeat of Japi
and the overwhelming success of t
Island empire has caused the gover
ment of the czar no little grief , becau
It meansan abridgement of Hussli
power and Influence In the east and
check to the projects of aggrandi ;
ment in northern Asia. With Japan
control of the territory and the stra' '
glc positions which China Is required
surrender by the terms of the trea
Hnsslmi plans for the attainment of r
dltlonal power In that quarter of t
globe would be thwarted. A vlglla
and courageous people , who have do
onstrated their ability to defend tin
rights and Interests , nnd who are t
voted to tha purpose of a peaceable (
velopment of civilization In the en
would successfully obstruct any deslg
which Hussln might have looking
her own aggrandizement In uorthc
Asia , nud that she has such designs 1
clearly Indicated by her position fownn
[ apan. But whllo the reasons for th
attitude of Russia are obvious It Is nose
so easy to mfdcrstand the support glvci
icr by Ocrinany and France. It Is no
apparent that the latter powers hav
any common Interest with Russia In thi
natter and It la hardly conceivable tlin
hey have entered Into an alliance wltl
Uissla to deprive Japan of the fruit
of victory simply from consideration
of friendship , or In other words tha
lussla has made the continuance o
Irlcndly relations with Germany am
Franco contingent upon an agrcemcti
o back her up in her attitude of oppc
Hltlon to Japan's demand * .
Of course Japan could not afford t
engage single handed In a conflict wit
tussla supported by Oernmny ani
'ranee. It Is assumed thai In the even
of such a conflict Japan would have th
assistance of Orc.it Britain , whlc !
would feel It to be Imperatively neces
sary to do this In order to protect he
, -ast commercial Interests In the cast
It 1ms also been suggested that Japai
night get Botnc help from the Unite' '
States , but such a hope , If It be entei
allied by Japan , Is Idle. This countr ,
will take no part In any struggle whlc
nay occur In that remote part of th
world. We have Important Interest
here which are expected to grow 1
value and the American people are 1
icarty sympathy with the Japanese , bu
.hero will be no such abandonment o
our established policy as would be Ii
olved In an alliance with Japan agalns
my other power.

For the past two or three years proj :
ress In the development of Uio wes
las been comparatively slow. Everj
jody who keeps well Informed rcgan'
ng economic conditions knows wlij
fho business depression that came o
u 1893 struck the west with great sc
verity. 'For several years before tlui
.line this section had been pushing foi
ivard vigorously. Favorable crops ha
ittracted population and the Investmeii
of capital. The year 1802 , one of th
most remarkable In the history of Hi
material development of the country
witnessed a degree of enterprise In th
west equal to that ot any other secttoi
When this progress was suddenl
checked tlie reaction was sharply fc' '
in every department of activity. Cap
tal was withdrawn , projected cute :
[ irises came to a halt , the flow of popi
.ntlon . westward stopped , and even mot
quickly than in the cast the dam iglu
effects of depression manifested Uien
selves.
With the reduction In the homo di
maud for the staple products of tli
west our wheat producers were coi
fronted with a greatly Increased con
petition In the markets of Europe. Aui
mentcd supplies of wheat from llussli
Australia and Argentina reduced tli
demand upon this country In IS ! ) I by
largo amount , naturally lowering price
which really fell out of proportion t
the decline In the demand. Then cam
the disaster to the corn crop , entallln
a greater loss , probably , to the farinoi
of the corn-producing states of the wes
than was sufi'ercd by the wheat grower
for while those who had corn to so
got a bettor price for It , thousands ha
none to dispose of. and many were con
polled to buy. Thus the agricultun
Interest of the west has had for tw
years past a somewhat hard and tryln
experience , due to extraordinary fo
elgn competition as to one of the stapl
products , and to the partial failure (
another natural causes with which c
monetary conditions had anything to d
and which would have operated In e :
actly the same way under any nimucli
condition.
There Is promise of a very decide
change from this state of affairs whlc
will allow a resumption of the forwar
movement brought almost to a stain
still In Uie last two years. At preset
the outlook for good crops this year
exceedingly favorable , and while It
true that this may change before tl
time of harvest , there Is at any ral
good reason now for looking hopeful !
to the future. No one need be told whs
good crops this year would mean f (
the west , particularly In view of tl
probability that there will be a bettt
demand In Europe for our wheat th
year than there was last , while tl
home demand Is certain to be vei
much creator. With the labor of U
country fully employed , the consum ]
tlon of Hour will be largely Increased
certainly to an extent that will moi
than offset any probable decline In tl
demand from abroad. When tlie Ame
lean people are In n position to coi
sumo what they require for a propi
subsistence our producers of breadstuf
need feel little anxiety concerning tl
foreign demand.

A Ycry notable event In tha world of mu l < '
will bo the production on May 4 nt Madison
Square Concert hall , Now York , by Uio Novr
York Musical society , of Dr. Antonln Uvo ;
rak'a new American cantata , "The Ameri
can nag. " Ills "New World Symphony , "
produced In that city last year , reflects this
modern master's Idtus and Impressions ol
native American follc-tonp , but "Ths Ameri
can l > 'lng" differs wldily from Its purely
orchestral predecessor tii the fact that II
Is the expression In cantata form of Dvorak's
sympathies with American liberty and pa
triotism ; Inspirations collected nnd crystal-
llzed. ns It were , In the chalice of his musical
Intellect , from which flows Uio stream ol
tonal language , which portrays the pa-
trlotlcally emotional Instinct of this nation
The poem Is the well known eulogy of the
Hag , by Joseph Hodman Drake , written li :
1315 , and brimming with the triumphant en
thusiasm of revolutionary victories. In Us
wldo scopa of description , sa/s the New Yort
Herald , there Is ample and admirable op
portunity for the musician , whllo there Is
additional advantage In the fact that the
whole Held of national patriotic expression
In music Is open and the flowers of soup
therein arc as yet practically untouched nnd
ung.ithcrcd. There Is the opportunity pre
sented , nnd the outcome as n composition IE
most curiously Interesting , for , while "Tin
American Flag" teems with the atmosphere
of "Columbia , " and whllo It Is filled with
true American buoyancy and sanguine In
stinct of patriotism , there are occasionally
Viennese and Hungarian forces "at work In
his blood" which reflects the patriotism ol
Dvorak's natal country , the mighty unrest ,
almost the lack of hope nnd a naturally sul
len resistance to tyranny rather than a con
scious superiority over It. As a comming
ling of these forces and Instincts , and as
the work of a modern master In a new realm
of musical composition , "The American Flag"
has Indeed truly American significance.
Dvorak appropriated the poem previous tc
his coming to this country , seized the
thought and sketched his Intention of the
present composition , but the evolution ol
the actual musical themes was the producl
of his residence here.
The poem admits naturally of four separate
subjects , which have been utilized by the
composer to give It musical force and
variety.
When Freedom , from her mountain height ,
Unfuiled the standard to the nlr ,
She toro the azure robe of nlRht
And set the stats ot Klory there.
She mingled with Its Rurneous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies.
And striped Its pure celestial white.
With stroakliiK-s of the morning light.
The overture portrays the lofty majesty ol
this thought In a succession of full mlnoi
chords In F , a lento , obscuring themselves
melodiously In a misty , cloudllko chord of L
Hat , out of which the flag waves In the simple
azure purity ot heaven , with the stars ol
glory set thereon. Next the mingling stripe
of white blends In the same mode through
hlgh-Eoundlng chords of minor A flat ; the
same mist of the mountain peak obscure :
the picture , resolving Into the pure peace ol
a simple phrase In II major. Then red
streaklngs of the morning light are woven
melodiously Into a composite harmony , whlcti
blends Into the faintest breath of the frost
morning brcezo floating upward from the
subdued depths of horns and soft bosoms ol
strings , sustaining the chord until Uio open
ing thcmo In alto voice Is sounded , like the
motive of the "Eucharist" In "Parsifal. "
The resolution of this theme Is distinctly a
stray flower from the bouquet ot "Parsifal"
melodies , but an Immediate repetition ol
the high chords of minor F flashes the pic
ture nway quickly and the voice takes up the
description again with a curious. Interweav
ing of orchestral support. This the chorus
repeats In fuller harmonies , descriptive ol
blending the flajj colors.
Another short wandering with "Parsifal"
In the fields produces a graphic thcmo upon
the low bass strings , whllo the descriptive
voice Is heard summoning the eagle bearer
down from his mansion In the sun. From
this acorn of a theme the composer has de
veloped a majestically full orchestral and
choral sweep , which completes the magnifi
cent picture wherein freedom "gave Into
his mighty hand the symbol of her chosen
land. "
This overture Is , obviously , a flag over
ture. Then follow two apostrophes to the
eaglo. three apostrophes to the flag and a
finale.
The second eagle apostrophe Is thus de
scribed :
Child of the Sunl To thee Is given
To guard the banner oC the free ;
To hover In the -sulphur smoke ,
To ward -away the buttle stroke
And bid Its blpndlnjr shine nfar
Iilke rnlnhows on the cloud of war ,
The harbingers of victory !
This apostrophe continues in the same vein
as the preceding ; harp arpeggios of the
eagle's flight ; choral repetition of the theme
announced by the solo voice , with a con
scientious double-syllabled notation of the
word "given , " which sounds almost Incon
gruous to an ear trained in the euphonious
rhythm of the English language. Around
the "banner of the free" surge and eddy the
din and sulphur smoke of war ; the circling
sweep of eagle pinions are wheeling , turnIng -
Ing and pirouetting above the clash ol
weapons and hideous combat of men ; the
roar of cannon and flash of death-smiting
steel unite In the orchestral war ; the whole
plcturo of carnage and desperation of con
flict rages In tempestuous gusts from the
brass and strings until the voices pierce
triumphantly through the dusky din In a
bright paean of victory which rings again
In C major from chorus and orchestra com
bined.
bined.A
A martial allegro , for orchestra only , pre
cedes the next theme a composition which
might readily be accredited to the ptn ot
Gounod , with Hungarian Idiosyncrasies.
Tha third flan apostrophe must be a lovely
t'tie painting :
nag ; of the sens ! On ocean wave
Thy iitnra ohnll glitter o'er the bravej
When Dcnth. cnreerlnir on the cnle.
Sweeps ilnrkiy round the bellied sail ,
And frightened waves rush madly bach
lieforc the broadsides' reelingrnckj
The dylnR wanderer of the spa
Hhall look nlone to henven nnd theo
And smile to see thy splendors ily
In triumpU o'er his closing eye.
This number I * * wonderful sea plcturi
throughout , from the unrest of Its wave mo- ,
tlon , which opens In the orchestra , to tin
death gloom nt Its close. The flag Is stream
ing nt tha topmast , Its stars glittering In tin
gold of < ca sunshine. Death sweeps darkly
down In orchestral malignancy ; the wnvci
rage nnd froth their horrid crests In chro
matic thirds ; voices clash and drown each
other ; hoarse shoutings come through thi
tumult ot naval conflict until the fortissimo
height ot fury Is reached upon n mixed stac
cato chord In both chorus nnd orchestra.
Then voices whisper In unison , "ll fore th (
broadsides' reeling rack" and n horn , with
the exquisite pathos , of n dying prayer ,
sounds like a faraway voice from heaven
telling of pnradlso to the "dying wandcrct
of the sea. "
( The Prophecy. )
Flajr of the free hcnn'a hope nnd homo ,
Ity nngel hands to valor given ,
Thy stars have lit the \\clkliig dome.
Ami all thy hues were born In heaven I
And fixed ns yonder orb divine ,
That caw thy bannered blnza unfurled ,
Shall thy proud stars irsplendent shine ,
The guard nnd glory of the world !
A symphonic prelude to this prophecy In
troduces again the motive ot freedom used
at the beginning ot the work. More rcmlnls *
canccs of "Parsifal" appear In th suc
ceeding choral , but the climax nnd ending
reveal the true orchestral elaboration , em
bellishment and masterful fertility of Dvorak
himself.
As nn "opus" "The American Flag" Is th
second production of any magnitude nnd Im
portance which Dvorak's genius since Its
transphntlng to these shores has given to
the world. As such It demands the recog
nition and study of every progressive musi
cian. If for no other reason than that ot tha
historical significance embodied In the com
ing public exposition of the work.

INTEREST IN CHINA:
It seems that the Chinese have found a way to circumvent the provisions of the new registration law by devising means of sending their goods through ports other than those specified. This has led to a decrease in the number of Chinese registered at these ports, which is contrary to the intent of the law.
OMAHA BRIDGE:
The Omaha Bridge Company has been operating for over eight years under the burden of the bridge authorities. They feel that they have suffered enough under this unfair discrimination and are calling for change.
POLICE UNIFORMS:
The new order prohibiting police from wearing their uniforms when off duty is seen as an improvement in discipline. However, it is important to note that officers are still bound by the duty of maintaining public peace whether in uniform or not. A police officer is never absent from the duty of assisting in the maintenance of good order.
HAY PARFUM:
The story of Adam Smith, the founder of political economy, who said in 1776 that Great Britain was a nation of shopkeepers, seems to resonate with the current situation. The more we see of the British government's policies in relation to other countries, the more happy does the expression of this hard-headed Scottish professor appeal.
POLICE DISCIPLINE:
The order prohibiting police from wearing their uniforms when off duty is a step in the right direction. However, it is essential to note that officers are still bound by the duty of maintaining public peace whether in uniform or not. A police officer is never absent from the duty of assisting in the maintenance of good order.
HYRON REED COLLECTION:
The Hyron Reed collection of books and manuscripts is now open to the public at the Public Library. This opportunity should not be missed by the people of Omaha, as it offers a unique chance to view a comprehensive collection of coins and manuscripts.

MOMDAY OPENING CHAPTER:
On Monday, the opening chapter of a new short serial by "The Duchess," titled "Storm Driven," will be presented. This story is sure to captivate readers, offering a gripping tale of adventure and suspense.
A MOST CREDITABLE EXHIBIT:
Omaha and Nebraska have reason to be proud of the May Day editions of The Bee, which were the product of the pens and brains of the women of this city and state. These editions stand comparison with any woman's editions of the metropolitan dailies on the east and west coasts that have preceded this new departure. The women have accomplished more than they set out to perform and have fully met and exceeded the high expectations of their friends and patrons. Considering the magnitude of the enterprise and the lack of technical knowledge which constitutes a prerequisite for making great dailies, the volunteer staff of journalists performed a task which would have taxed the energies of professional journalists who were not familiar with the practical workings of the publishing house. The success that has crowned their efforts only emphasizes the indisputable fact that The Bee is the best equipped newspaper west of Chicago, and for the matter, without a peer in any part of the great west.
THE REALIZED SUM:
The exact sum realized from The Bee's May Day Bee for the benefit of the Presbyterian Hospital will not be known for several days, when collections have been made and accounts settled. It promises to be well over $2,000. Viewed in the light of the business depression which Omaha merchants and manufacturers have been subjected to during the past year, this is certainly a very satisfactory outcome. It goes without saying that no such substantial contribution for the relief of the hospital could have been secured at this season and at this year by any other means. The Bee feels gratified that it has been instrumental not only in giving the women of Nebraska an opportunity to give tangible proof of their high culture and wide range of useful and instructive information, but also in giving substantial aid to a worthy benevolent institution.
OUR ADVANTAGE OF LATE TEENDERS.
An incidental ruling of one of the Pennsylvania courts has just brought out a curious result of our peculiar currency legislation. It seems that a passenger upon a street railway offers the conductor a five-dollar note for his fare. The conductor refused to give change or to accept the note and to the persistence of the passenger, ejected him from the car. A suit for damages ensued, but the plaintiff was unable to swear that the proffered note was one with the legal tender quality attached, was summarily thrown out in court by the Judge.
The lesson of the decision, which was pointed out by way of commentary by the Philadelphia Press, is that while we have maintained every dollar issued by the federal government at a parity with every other dollar with reference to purchasing power, there is one important feature in which the different dollars are not equal. To compel the service of a public servant, it is necessary to have currency with the legal tender quality attached. There are many institutions and businesses which, from the legal standpoint, occupy a position of public servants towards their patrons. Street railways and common carriers are perhaps the largest and most important class under this vision, but almost all the franchised municipal corporations, gas, water and electric lighting works are under obligation to serve all applicants alike while complying with the reasonable regulations which they may have established. Most states public warehouses and elevators must accept goods from all who offer. In some, theaters must admit admission to all orderly persons who present the usual fee. Hotels cannot discriminate against particular patrons without substantial cause. But in these instances, the prerequisite of the right to demand service is the proffer of the compensation which the law allows.
Under the ruling to which we have referred, that proffer must be of legal tender currency and the tender of any other money, no matter whether convertible into the first or not, will not fulfill the requirements of the law. There have been a great many suits to test the liability of the proprietors of public places for refusing to serve objectionable patrons, but this is the first that has come to notice where the character of the money tendered proved to be the vital point.
THE INTERNATIONAL COMPLEXITY.
If what is reported regarding the complications between Russia and Japan be correct, there is fair promise of some business before a settlement is reached. It seems to be certain that Russia is determined to insist upon such a modification of the terms of the treaty between China and Japan as she has suggested and it appears to be equally certain that Japan is determined not to yield anything stipulated for by the treaty. She does not, according to the dispatches, recognize any right on the part of Russia to interfere and is disposed to assume a defiant attitude.
It is easy enough to understand the attitude of Russia in the matter. The country desired the defeat of Japan and the overwhelming success of the island empire has caused the government of the czar no little grief, because it means an abridgement of Russian power and influence in the east and a check to the projects of aggrandizement in northern Asia. With Japan's control of the territory and the strategic positions which China is required to surrender by the terms of the treaty, Russia's plans for the attainment of regional power in that quarter of the globe would be thwarted. A vigorous and courageous people, who have demonstrated their ability to defend their rights and interests, and who are devoted to the purpose of a peaceable development of civilization in the east, would successfully obstruct any design which Russia might have looking to her own aggrandizement in northern Asia, and that she has such designs clearly indicated by her position towards Japan.
But while the reasons for the attitude of Russia are obvious, it is no so easy to understand the support given by Germany and France. It is no apparent that the latter powers have any common interest with Russia in the matter and it is hardly conceivable that they have entered into an alliance with Russia to deprive Japan of the fruit of victory simply from consideration of friendship, or in other words that Russia has made the continuance of friendly relations with Germany and France contingent upon an agreement to back her up in her attitude of opposition to Japan's demands.
Of course, Japan could not afford to engage single-handed in a conflict with Russia supported by Germany and France. It is assumed that in the event of such a conflict, Japan would have the assistance of Great Britain, which would feel it to be imperatively necessary to do this in order to protect her vast commercial interests in the east. It has also been suggested that Japan might get some help from the United States, but such a hope, if it be entered into by Japan, is idle. This country will take no part in any struggle which may occur in that remote part of the world. We have important interests here which are expected to grow in value and the American people are ready sympathy with the Japanese, but there will be no such abandonment of our established policy as would be involved in an alliance with Japan against any other power.
WESTERN PROGRESS.
For the past two or three years, progress in the development of the west has been comparatively slow. Every body who keeps well informed regarding economic conditions knows why the business depression that came on in 1893 struck the west with great severity. For several years before that time, this section had been pushing forward vigorously. Favorable crops had attracted population and the investment of capital. The year 1892, one of the most remarkable in the history of the material development of the country, witnessed a degree of enterprise in the west equal to that of any other section. When this progress was suddenly checked, the reaction was sharply felt in every department of activity. Capital was withdrawn, projected enterprises came to a halt, the flow of population westward stopped, and even more quickly than in the east, the damaging effects of depression manifested themselves.
With the reduction in the home demand for the staple products of the west, our wheat producers were confronted with a greatly increased competition in the markets of Europe. Augmented supplies of wheat from Russia, Australia, and Argentina reduced the demand upon this country in a large amount, naturally lowering prices, which really fell out of proportion to the decline in the demand. Then came the disaster to the corn crop, entailing a greater loss, probably, to the farmers of the corn-producing states of the west than was suffered by the wheat growers, for while those who had corn to sell got a better price for it, thousands had none to dispose of, and many were compelled to buy. Thus, the agricultural interest of the west has had for two years past a somewhat hard and trying experience, due to extraordinary foreign competition as to one of the staple products, and to the partial failure of another, natural causes with which monetary conditions had anything to do, and which would have operated in exactly the same way under any monetary condition.
There is promise of a very decided change from this state of affairs which will allow a resumption of the forward movement brought almost to a standstill in the last two years. At present, the outlook for good crops this year is exceedingly favorable, and while it is true that this may change before the time of harvest, there is at any rate good reason now for looking hopeful to the future. No one need be told what good crops this year would mean for the west, particularly in view of the probability that there will be a better demand in Europe for our wheat this year than there was last, while the home demand is certain to be very much greater. With the labor of the country fully employed, the consumption of flour will be largely increased, certainly to an extent that will more than offset any probable decline in the demand from abroad. When the American people are in a position to consume what they require for a proper subsistence, our producers of breadstuffs need feel little anxiety concerning the foreign demand.
He makes a grave mistake who has lost faith in the west. There are still great opportunities in this section for the industrial, the enterprising, and the thrifty. There is room in the west for hundreds of thousands of such people. Good crops this year will start the flow of population westward again, will restore to capital confidence to again see western investments, and will start the section once more upon a period of progress which may equal in result any it has had in the past.
The United States Supreme Court has advanced the case involving the question of title to the possession of Winnebago reservation lands so that it will come up for hearing early in the October term. This is a considerable concession to the importance of the case, yet it does not fully meet the present emergency. If the white settlers who claim are denied recognition by the government can only hold their own over planting time and thereby seen an opportunity to get all their seed into the ground, they will have established an equitable right to the crop. In other words, if they can hold their own for another month, they will be in a position to hold at least until May and by that time many of the leases will have expired. This is what makes the element of time the all-important factor in the present controversy.
The British navy has become a bad debt collecting agency. It might not be out of place to suggest that its machinery for enforcing the collection of disputed debts from bankrupt countries be extended to all other nations on the basis of equal treatment.

A (ruthless) Monday.
Courier-Journal.
Mr. Crisp says that "we," meaning the democrats, should nominate for the presidency some western free silver man, "with a military record." But why a military record? All the soldiers and powdery of the earth could not bring about bimetallism in the United States if we should open our mints independently to the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1.
New York Sun.
The assertion that this state or that state is for free silver makes about as much noise as the free coinage arguments, yet when the test comes, even the democrats in the western populist states of low will refuse to make the assertion good. It is almost always so. Whenever the silver bird spreads its wings, it gets shot, generally the next moment.
Through the Hull.

It cannot be assumed for a moment that any American administration has been recreant as to assent to this British occupation without explicit assurances as to its temporary and limited character; but now that it has been accomplished, it may be that pretexts will be found for its prolongation. If England chooses to hold on, how she to be dispossessed without conflict?
The fatuity which has permitted an engagement involving such risks on the eve of inevitable construction of the Nicaragua canal is simply incomprehensible.
The rapture of a cause.
New York Evening Post.
Prohibition continues to lose ground in the west, while sentiment grows in favor of a high license and local option system in its stead. Less than ten years ago an amendment to the constitution absolutely forbidding the liquor traffic came with about 5,000 votes of "adoption" in Michigan. Since then the agitation for this policy has died out, and has been supplanted by a movement for high license. The fee heretofore been $300 a year, but the legislature has just passed a law increasing the sum to $400. This is a close approach to the low system, where under the new law a tax of $200 is levied. These are large figures, compared with the low rates that prevail in New York, but there does not seem to be any difficulty about collecting them. Indeed, many Iowa cities add a local tax to the $400 levied by the state.

There was a little baby lost in the Democratic last week. It was born on Thursday morning to Mr. and Mrs. W. H. H. Renner up in Mead township, but before it was ten hours old it crawled over into Leland and got itself mixed up with the items in Mud Hen Hollow. We predict a brilliant future for that young lady. A little girl, not yet a day old, that can travel fifteen miles before breakfast will certainly be a moving figure in the world when she reaches the age of sweet 16 or thereabouts.
F. L. Stanton in the Atlanta Constitution. Young miss, she gone to meeting A-looking like to kill; She dress up so, she make a show, She'll catch them beaus, she will! She up and out there and up. And all day she milk: She stir around some, and that how come Young miss, she dress in silk. The rabbit say: "She come in" And hold her ears up high: The mockingbird lie hear the word And sing as she go by! Her hair so pretty, so red as rose. That what speak them briar take And catch on for her clothes.
The sunbeam run along beside her, Des like It run a race; The river stop, look and listen And try to suit her face, And when she get in meeting The organ start to play: The preacher stop, and shut the book. And don't know what to say. And yet she rise to the sun up. And cook, and sweep, and milk; She stir round some, and that how come Young miss, she dress in silk!
Davenport Democrats: The Iowa Republicans are doing their best to knife each other this year, and they are succeeding well in opening old stores, and making new dashes and wounds. In fairness, it will have to be admitted that, General Drake of Des Moines is a long ways in the lead of any other candidate of that party for governor. Some of his supporters claim that he has more votes in sight than all the others. But the railroad combination, which has the chairman of the Republican state central committee, is solidly arrayed against General Drake, and this opposition will be kept up until the moment indication is made.
Des Moines Leader: It is agreed that the Democratic party in Iowa will oppose the re-submission of a constitutional amendment; it will ask that Iowa be not discriminatory against in regard to an article which has legal sale within the state, and will ask that legislation be framed which will retain a good in the mulct law and reject it as bad: If these are not state issues, what are they? Certainly they are not national or international issues, nor are they local or municipal ones. The only category in which they may be placed is the one where already the common sense of the people has already placed them.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: The trader, the platform he makes and the platform made for his benefit, are not wanted. The man who goes in two directions at equal rates of speed, and at the same time, never makes progress. Such a thing represents what might be called a cross between a frog and a crawfish might be if nature had not set the seal of its condemnation upon such creatures by ordaining that not even a hybrid may come from two creatures so antagonistic in purpose, design and methods. No country and no individual ever made anything but a failure by trading. There is no honor in any life but a square fight. There is no patriotism in serving under two flags at the same instant. Iowa politicians who have manifested a desire to adopt elusive platforms should be warned in time.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
A very notable event in the world of music will be the production on May 4 at Madison Square Concert hall, New York, by the New York Musical society, of Dr. Antonín Dvořák's new American cantata, "The American Flag." His "New World Symphony," produced in that city last year, reflects this modern master's moods and impressions of native American folk-lore, but "The American Flag" differs widely from its purely orchestral predecessor in the fact that it is the expression in cantata form of Dvořák's sympathies with American liberty and patriotism; inspirations collected and crystallized, as it were, in the chalice of his musical intellect, from which flows the stream of tonal language, which portrays the patriotically emotional instinct of this nation.
The poem is the well-known eulogy of the flag, by Joseph Rodman Drake, written in 1815, and brimming with the triumphant enthusiasm of revolutionary victories. In its wide scope of description, says the New York Herald, there is ample and admirable opportunity for the musician, while there is additional advantage in the fact that the whole field of national patriotic expression in music is open and the flowers of song therein are as yet practically untouched and unguarded. There is the opportunity presented, and the outcome as a composition is most curiously interesting, for, while "The American Flag" teems with the atmosphere of "Columbia," and while it is filled with true American buoyancy and sanguine instinct of patriotism, there are occasionally Viennese and Hungarian forces "at work in his blood" which reflect the patriotism of Dvořák's natal country, the mighty restlessness, almost the lack of hope, and a naturally sullen resistance to tyranny rather than a conscious superiority over it. As a coming together of these forces and instincts, and as the work of a modern master in a new realm of musical composition, "The American Flag" has indeed truly American significance.
Dvořák appropriated the poem previous to his coming to this country, seized the thought and sketched his intention of the present composition, but the evolution of the actual musical themes was the product of his residence here.
The poem admits naturally of four separate subjects, which have been utilized by the composer to give it musical force and variety.
When Freedom, from her mountain height,
Unfurls the standard to the air,
She treads the azure robe of night
And sets the stars of Glory there.
She mingled with its rufous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies.
And striped its pure celestial white.
With streaks of the morning light.
The overture portrays the lofty majesty of this thought in a succession of full minor chords in F, a lento, obscuring themselves melodiously in a misty, cloud-like chord of B flat, out of which the flag waves in the simple azure purity of heaven, with the stars of glory set thereon. Next the mingling stripe of white blends in the same mode through high-sounding chords of minor A flat; the same mist of the mountain peak obscures the picture, resolving into the pure peace of a simple phrase in D major. Then red streaks of the morning light are woven melodiously into a composite harmony, which blends into the faintest breath of the frost morning breeze floating upward from the subdued depths of horns and soft bodies of strings, sustaining the chord until the opening theme in alto voice is sounded, like the motive of the "Eucharist" in "Parsifal."
The resolution of this theme is distinctly a stray flower from the bouquet of "Parsifal" melodies, but an immediate repetition of the high chords of minor F flashes the picture away quickly and the voice takes up the description again with a curious interweaving of orchestral support. This the chorus repeats in fuller harmonies, descriptive of blending the flag colors.
Another short wandering with "Parsifal" in the fields produces a graphic theme upon the low bass strings, while the descriptive voice is heard summoning the eagle bearer down from his mansion in the sun. From this acorn of a theme the composer has developed a majestically full orchestral and choral sweep, which completes the magnificent picture wherein freedom "gave into his mighty hand the symbol of her chosen land."
This overture is, obviously, a flag overture. Then follow two apostrophes to the eagle, three apostrophes to the flag, and a finale.
The second eagle apostrophe is thus described:
Child of the Sun! To thee is given
To guard the banner of the free;
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke
And bid its blinking shine afar
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbingers of victory!
This apostrophe continues in the same vein as the preceding; harp arpeggios of the eagle's flight; choral repetition of the theme announced by the solo voice, with a conscientious double-syllabled notation of the word "given," which sounds almost incongruous to an ear trained in the euphonious rhythm of the English language. Around the "banner of the free" surge and eddy the din and sulphur smoke of war; the circling sweep of eagle pinions are wheeling, turning, and pirouetting above the clash of weapons and hideous combat of men; the roar of cannon and flash of death-smiting steel unite in the orchestral war; the whole picture of carnage and desperation of conflict rages in tempestuous gusts from the brass and strings until the voices pierce triumphantly through the dusky din in a bright paean of victory which rings again in C major from chorus and orchestra combined.
A martial allegro, for orchestra only, precedes the next theme, a composition which might readily be accredited to the pen of Gounod, with Hungarian idiosyncrasies.
The third flag apostrophe must be a lovely piece of painting:
On the sea; on ocean wave
Thy stern shall glitter o'er the brave;
When Death, career-ing on the deep,
Sweeps darkly round the belled sail,
And frightened waves rush madly back
Before the broadsides' reeling crack.
The dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look alone to heaven and thee
And smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph over his closing eye.
This number is wonderful sea picture
throughout, from the unrest of its wave motion, which opens in the orchestra, to the death gloom at its close. The flag is streaming at the topmast, its stars glittering in the gold of the sunshine. Death sweeps darkly down in orchestral malignancy; the waves rage and froth their horrid crests in chromatic thirds; voices clash and drown each other; hoarse shoutings come through the tumult of naval conflict until the fortissimo height of fury is reached upon a mixed staccato chord in both chorus and orchestra. Then voices whisper in unison, "It is before the broadsides' reeling rack" and a horn, with the exquisite pathos of a dying prayer, sounds like a faraway voice from heaven telling of pardon to the "dying wanderer of the sea."
(The Prophecy.)
Flame of the free, heaven's hope and home,
Angelic hands to valor given,
Thy stars have lit the weeping dome.
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
And fixed as yonder orb divine,
That saw thy bannered blazon unfurled,
Shall thy proud stars resplendent shine,
The guard and glory of the world!
A symphonic prelude to this prophecy introduces again the motive of freedom used at the beginning of the work. More reminders of "Parsifal" appear in the succeeding choral, but the climax and ending reveal the true orchestral elaboration, embellishment, and masterful fertility of Dvorak himself.
As an "opus," "The American Flag" is the second production of any magnitude and importance which Dvorak's genius since its transplantation to these shores has given to the world. As such, it demands the recognition and study of every progressive musician. If for no other reason than that of the historical significance embodied in the coming public exposition of the work.

( CCpJTlKlll , 1JM )
On .1 cortnln hot day In August , 13 , the
time b.ill on the Wettcrn Union telegraph
building , In the city ot New York , dropped
precisely at noon. Instantly thereafter there
was a chorus of steam whittles and then
silence. The whistles attracted no particular
attention ; the silence did. People gradually
became conscious ot It. They mlised some
thing. They stopped and thought about It
and looked at one another Inquiringly , and ,
presently the great tldo of humanity which
1 always moving In one way or the other
on Broadway ceased Its flow ; little groups
gathered on the street corners and Invaded
the roadway. Just as If some procession were
expected to pasi.
The great thoroughfare presented an odd
appearance. Vehicles there were , as usual ,
of all sorts strcat cars and truck ! and carts
and coaches but all were standing still. The
drivers were unhitching their ho'rses and
leading them away. On the elevated railways
the trains had ceased running. Passengers
from those which had stopped between sta
tions were alighting and walking along the
structure or clambering down from It on
ladders. On the river fronts the ferryboats
remained In their slips ; the busy tugs were
moored to their piers. Only a few sailing
craft drifted lazily about In the harbor.
The silence continued perhaps ( or half an
licur. Then there came a dull rear , not the
muMled din always arising from the streets ,
but that of escaping Etcam , great clouds of
which could bo seen rising over the city. In
fact , every holler was blowing off , for , as If
by common consent , every escape valve had
been lifted nnd every fire had been hauled.
At the gas works the furnace doors stood
open and the retorts empty. In the telegraph
ofllces the Instruments clicked away , but no
one heeded them. In the postofllce and at
the stations and In the street boxes the letters -
ters accumulated , for the mall wagons had no
drivers. The machinery In nil the factories
of New York stood Idle. " No conveyances
moved , and upon every "industry a sudden
stroke of paralysis had fallen. And this was
the cause of It ;
Michael McCarthy , vender of "grow
ing shamrock plants , " bog , oak or-
naiitnnts and shlllelahs In Queenstown
harbor , having engaged In too pro
longed chaffering on board the Teu
tonic , suddenly discovered , at the close of his
bargaining , that the green hills ot his im-
tlve land were fading In the dim distance at
the rate of twenty knots per hour. He arrived
In New York on the eve of a close election ,
| - and , without knowing exactly why , he

was conveyed from GUIs Island ta a natural
ization bureau , and there put In n fair way
to aid us In settling our tariff and other
questions , before tlio Emerald soil had left
his brog.tns. In order to retain this valu
able assistance work was found for Michael
as a cobbler a trade ho had once followed In
the old country In the establishment of Mrs
Helnrlch Shoeffcl , In Avenue A , and there he
was manfully stitching and hammering away
when a visitor , entering the shop , announced
himself as a "walking delegate. " This In
formation Imparted to Mrs. Slioeffcl , was
not disagreeable. Inasmuch as It suggested
extensive- need of shoo leather , but when she
discovered that the visitor said nothing about
the purchase of boots , but simply demanded
the outcastlng ot Michael McCarthy for fail
ure to loin United Cobblers' union No. 61 ,
elio placidly resumed her Interrupted occupa
tion ot binding one of those colossal carpel
slippers , so dear to the east side German
heart , and Ignored him , until the sharp slam
of the sliop door brought from the depths ol
her capacious boeom a. long-drawn sigh ol
"Ach sol" Thereupon Mrs. ShocCfel was
boycotted , nnd the ban was extended to the
merchants who furnished her little supplies.
And thus It worked backward to a great
leather dealer In the Swamp , who , being
contumacious , found himself without truck
men and handlers. And the strike ramified
and spread , and finally the result which has
already been noted came about , and the In
dustries and the conveyances ot the metrop
olis were brought to a standstill.
Now the most singular thing about this
strike was Its remarkably orderly character.
There were no Indignation meetings , no de
nunciations ot "capital , " no breaches of the
peaoo , no mobs ; but In place of these ac
companiments ot the old-fashioned struggle
there was simple stagnation. Labor , as such ,
effaced Itself. U announced the new doctrine
that Its natural antithesis was not "capital , "
but Idleness. U would enforce Ita just de
mands , nut by warfare on capital , but by
stopping work. Society might try how It
liked being made up entirely of leisure
classes.
And society did not like It. Matters were
Indeed bad when the Harlem paterfamilias
had to walk to his Wall street office , but
when It came to sending the wholu house
hold scurrying about after milk and meat
and Ice nay , when ho himself had to play
charioteer to the coal cart things were
clearly getting serious.
The city of New York confronted a great
public emergency. Dut the man to deal with
U was at hand , And the evening of the
fourth day after the general stoppage began
found him calmly smoking a. cigarette upon
ono ot the benches In llryant square.
"I tell you , Smith , " remarked this man
ot destiny to his companion , who was lazily
staring up at the stars , "there U only ono
way out ot this trouble. Something has got
to happen In this { own which will Interest
everybody so tremendously which must Just
grip everybody's attention so closely that
when It happens this strlko business will bo
suddenly forgotten. "
The person addressed yawned carelessly.
In fact , he did not seem particularly Im
pressed by tlio tdra suggested to him , for his
answer was Irrelevant.
"Say , Julius , what are you striking for ,
unyhowT"
"MoT I'm not. "
"Can't you get anything to do ? "
"Perhaps BO don't know. "
"How did you gut out of workT"
"City editor bounced me. "
"What for ? "
"Sent me to Interview the Corean ambassa
dors. Couldn't speak Corean , so I got a man
to come along who said he could Interpret.
1-JV Drought back two columns of flnt-class mat
V ter. Next day the ambassadors sent a note
to the managing editor that they would be
( long to dinner aV 6 , and before he had halt
tot It through bis head , down they came to
the office. In two four-horse stages , all rigged
up In rainbow clothes. Said I had Invited
them , and when they found there wasn't any
n\eal there was a row and diplomatic repre
sentations In Washington and the deuce to
pay. I left. "
"You might have practiced then what you
preach now , " laughed Smith , "and given
them something Ue to think about , so that
the dinner would be forgotten. "
"Couldn't think ot anything. "
"Well It Isn't ao easy , ot course. Still. I
might have helped you. There's my balloon.
You might have astonished them with It
somehow , dare say. "
"What tort of a balloon ? "
"Dig one. Kind you go up In. "
"What on earth are you doing with It ? "
Sleeping on It after having loaned a man
310 on It and foreclosed the mortgage. Come
along. 'I'm going home. "
Smith stretched himself , got upon his feet
and walked on. The man called Julius sat
thinking. Finally ho rose , and both men
strolled leisurely across the Inclosure.
"Where did you get It , Smith , " said Julius ,
finally.
"What ? Oh , the balloonl That's quite a
story. There was an old chap came to board
THIS THR SUI'KRINTENDENT OF PO
LICE IlEAD AT 10 A. M.
In the house I live In , who was the wildest
sort of an Inventor. One thing he tried
to get up was a telegraph which would send
smells , another was an explosive fate , but
he couldn't get any one to go Into either ,
though he spent pretty much all his own
money In trying experiments. Finally he
braced up for one tact great effort and con
cocted a balloon which he was going to steer
like a boat. Maybe he didn't work over It.
Borrowed money from everybody he knew to
buy silk and cord and things , uut ho didn't
go up. In fact , ho went down. They fished
him out somewhere In Hell Gate. I took
his traps for what ho owed me. "
Julius asked no further questions and
the two walked on In alienee , until his com
panion stopped near the corner of Forty-
fourth street and Third avenue.
"See here , " ho said , "arc you walking In
your sleep ? "
"No. " said Julius , slowly. "I was Jmt
thinking. Do you know that I think I've
got It ? "
"Got what ? "
"I think I can end this strike business
and In the way I said , If I can have your
balloon. "
"If you can tell mo where you live I'll
promise to take you there safely , " said Smith
bantcrlngly.
"I'm In earnest , " replied the other soberly.
"I should llko to go with you to where that
balloon Is and talk about It. "
Smith looked at him , rather keenly this
time perhaps a little suspiciously and then
with a light laugh shrugged his shoulders
and led the way to a shabby brick dwelling
In East Forty-fourth street , the door of
which ho opened with his latchkey and mo
tioned Julius to enter. The hall had that
pscullar combined odor of cabbage and washIng -
Ing soda which characterizes a boarding
house of the cheapest class and was pitch
dark. Smith' ' led the way upstairs by the
flickering light of a match , until the front
uttlo room was reached. There they lit their
pipes and bagan , talking. Diyllght was stream
ing In at the windows , but there was nothing
about the two men to show their loss of
sleep. They were sitting Smith on a trunk
which he had dragged out of the closet
face to face , with both feet on the floor , as
men always do when they talk of Important
things. The balloon had been hauled off the
bed , spread out on the floor and examined.
An old safe near the window had been cleared
of the mass of clothes and odds and ends
which covered It , and IU doors stood open ,
revealing some rusty mechanism. A huge
roll of cotton-covered wire had evidently been
exhumed from under the bed , and Inside the
safe had been found what Julius first thought
wore preserve Jars , but which turned out to
bo the cells ot a voltaic battery dry as to
contents , but needing only to bo filled with
water and acid to make them give a stropg
current of electricity.
A floor board had been lifted In the middle
of the room. Just over the place where ran
the gas pipe which supplied the fixture to
the room below.
At length , Julius arose , and said , em
phasizing his words by tapping the rickety
table with his flngcr :
"We want no misunderstanding about this ,
and I think so far there Is none. You will
surrender this room tomorrow as It Is , and I
will hire It. At the agreed time you will
come back. I will admit you , so that no one
will know of your presence here. I will then
go out openly. While I am temporarily ab
sent from the house , you will do as wo have
settled. You will then leave the house and
disappear. You will not reveal the part you
have taken In this , no matter what may
happen. And ot whatever Is gained I agree
to give you half. "
On the early morning of the eleventh day
after the great strike had begun , any ono
passing through the uptown streets might
have seen groups of people at every corner ,
Intently staring at something In the sky.
Uefore noon these groups had Increased to
crowds , nnd the numbers of the gazers were
reinforced by people at windows and people
on the housetops , all gazing skyward. The
object of their attention was a balloon , whlchj
floated gracefully at an elevation of perhaps
500 feet , but was held by a slender wire ,
which led to somewhere In the vicinity of
the Grand Central depot. The balloon bore
no sign ; hence It was not Intended as an
advertisement. In fact , It was of the dull ,
brownish hue ot the well-varnished silk used
In making air ships tor actual aeronautic use.
THE OBJECT OF THEIR ATTENTION
WAS A DALLOON.
In the small basket which served as a car
there was no one but beneath It was sus
pended an object suspiciously like
a large crockery water pitcher.
Now , a balloon hovering over Now
York , even It It be only one of the miniature
red globes made for children's playthings ,
Is always sure to attract abundant attention ;
but here was not only a balloon , but a large
one , sent aloft for no other purpose than to
corry a water pitcher. Nothing better cal
culated to arouse the always poignant curi
osity of the average New Yorker could have
been Imagined. So the crowds grew larger
until nightfall , rendering- the balloon Invisi
ble , compelled them to disperse.
Uut next morning , the big globe being
itlll there , the popular Interest perceptibly
Increased and people began to move In masses
( award Gait Forty-fourth street , to gome
bous * In which thoroughfare It waa clear
that thi confining wire ot the balloon led ;
but just which house It was difficult to de
termine from tha roadway , Numerous In
quirers rang the door belli of all the houses
In consecutive order , but oa mott of these
residences were flats and the parties whose
bells were rung were Invariably the occu
pants of the basement floor , answers ot an
Intemperate character only were elicited.
As for the house to which the wire actually
led , the abode ot Smith the landlady was too
well accustomed to bitter complaints concernIng -
Ing the performances ot her former Inventive
lodger to pay any attention to suggestions
r inquiries from her callers : and , In fact ,
he Instant she discovered that the hiring
f rooms was not In question a sudden slam
t the front door constituted her sole re-
ponse.
Meanwhile certain reporters , having fer
reted out come little Information , kept It to
hemselvcs until the following startling head-
Ines appeared In an extra ot an afternoon
apcr ;
HORROIUM.
DESTRUCTION AT HANDtt
New York About to Be Laid

A. Terrible Explosive Suspended Over the
City , and to be Dropped Automatically
IfThere
There was no evidence given to support
his , but supposition and suggestion was so
.rtfully blended throughout a column of
'double-leaded ' , big type that the ordinarily
careless reader would at once Jump to the
conclusion that all the details of the Impentl-
ng danger were definitely known. The
crowda about East Forty-fourth street now
became so dense and unruly that collisions
with the police were freguent. The ditectlvss
neanwhllo had followed the balloon wire Into
he front attic room where the all night
conversation between Julius and Smith had
occurred. There the wire appeared to be
wound around the outside of a large Iron
safe , but Its end , or rather ends , for nearer
nspectlon showed It to be double , entered
a hole drilled In the safe door , which was
locked. On the safe was placed the follow
ng notice :
To the Mayor :
In this safe I ? a voltaic battery which sends
a current of electricity along these wires
o the balloon. The big pitcher Is large
; nough to hold sufficient dynamite to throw
down a block of buildings. The pitcher Is
supported by an electro-magnetic device , so
that It will not drop as long as the strength
of the electrical current remains the same.
But If the current Is weakened or stops , or
the pitcher fastening Is In any wise tamcpsred
with , th ? pitcher will certainly fall. Clock
ivork In the sate will break the current In
Just fifty-eight hours. The slightest attempt
to open the safe door will blow up a torpedo
within.
August 23 , 3 o'clock p. m.
This the superintendent of police read at
Just 10 a. m. on the 25th.
"Time's up at 1 o'clock tonight , " ho said
quietly. The Inmates of the house had at
ready been placed under surveillance. He
no\v gave orders for the arrest of all of them
and for the vacating of all houses cniaa-
gered by the balloon.
II.
The weather was warm and sultry. Little
air was stirring in the streets , but aloft
there were light currents constantly varying
In direction. The balloon was rrow to the
south and west of Its anchorage. The sen
breeze , certain to spring up In the afternoon ,
would waft It probably In the opposite direc
tion. If the wind were strong , the captive
globe would tauten Its wire and move around
a large area ; If light airs prevailed , the- wire
would become more nearly vertical. The
safest place was obviously the house In which
the wire was secured , because only in the
far remote possibility of absolute calm could
the balloon remain directly above the fasten
ing point of Its cable. The wire might be a
couple of thousand feet long. No one Just
then felt like calculating how large an area
of the city was menaced. That It was a
largo one , that It Included both a densely
populated section and raws of the most pala
tial residences In New York was only too
plain.
The authorities at once put the superin
tendent's order Into effect. The balloon being
now- directly over the Union Lcaguo club
house , squads of police Invaded every resi
dence for blocks around the menace , ! ' edifice
and forced the dwellers not only into the
streets , but out of all streets which might
possibly be endangered by falling walls. The
sick were carried out on their beds. Al
available vehicles wrro pressed Into service
0 transport the children , the women and the
aged. Utforo half of the section suppose *
to bo ImmoJlately menaced was thus cleared
the wind shifted and the balloon swung
over the Windsor hotel. While the police
wore emptying this hcstelry the people previously
viously ejected returned to their dwellings
The news had been telegraphed dowr
town , nnd the desertion of the whole busl
ness quarter of the city followoJ. There was
a simultaneous rush for the region of the
reflldencts a rush of men frantic with fear
and apprehension for their Imperiled fam
Hies. Great throngs choked the streets and
avenues. The populace saw the usclevssness
of trying to avoid1 a danger which constantly
shifted its probable point of attack. The
opposition became violent , riotous and
finally the police , literally overwhelmed by
numbers , ceased their efforts. The hotels
and boarding houses remained empty ; th.
occupants of dwelling houses returned and
began less hurried preparations for removal
from the menaced district.
The arrested lodgers had meanwhile been
closely interrogated by tbo superintendent
but none of them could shed the smalle1
light on the mystery of how or by whom thai
balloon had been sent aloft. The landlad.
told of her former Inventive boarder , and
thus accounted for the existence of tlio bal
loon and the safe. The fate of their owne :
the police already knew. Since his death the
room had been let ta ono Smith , who had
departed several days ago , and since then I
had been occupied by one Julius R. Craw
ford.
"Then the question Is , " said the superln
tendent , "where Is Julius R , Crawford ? "
There was a slight commotion outside thi
room , and the young man called Julius
somewhat out of breath , made his wa.
through the crowd ot policemen and re"
porters.
"That Is my name , " he said , quietly. "
heard of this Inquiry and returned here a
quickly as possible. I bad some difficulty In
getting In. "
The murmur of surprise which ran aroun
the apartment was hushed by the sharp orde
of the superintendent that the room
cleared.
"You are under arrest , " he said to Julius
when they were alone , saving the official
stenographer.
"I suppose so. "
"You are not obliged ta answer question
which Incriminate yourself , but anything yoi
say may bo used against you. "
"Tho usual formula ? "
"Ah. you have heard It before ? "
"We'll see. You occupy this room ? "
"Yoi. "
"Any one elss room with you ? "
"No. "
"Any business ? "
"Not now. "
"The landlady says that that balloon and
that safe have been here eome time. "
"Does she ? "
The superintendent looked at the man
Bternly. Julius returned his gaze with entire
calmness.
"You're not disposed to be communicative ,
1 see , " said the officer , finally. "Unlike- the
others. "
"What others ? "
"Oh , come now. This game la up. Your
friends have told everything , and "
Julius laughed contemptuously.
"I have nothing to conceal , no one has V > ld
anything , nor has any ono anything to tell , "
he said , finally. "I did not send up the bal
loon. "
"Who did ? "
"I saw no one do It. "
"It certainly was sent up from this hougj ;
It Is anchored In this room. "
"Quite so during the night of August 21 ,
I understand. "
"Where were you at the tlmo ? "
"Conoy Island. "
"Was that baleen here when you left ? "
"Certainly. He was sewing up the holes
In It. "
"Who ? "
"I decline to say. "
"Did ho tell you what he was going to do
with the balloon ? " ,
"No. " . '
"Did you ask ? " > I ; I J ( i . '
"No purposely. " "
"Why ? "
"I thought I would be questioned by the
police and didn't want to know. "
"When did you return to your room ? "
"Just "
now.
"That Is rather a poor story , my man. "
Julius shrugged his shoulders.
"I suppose , " continued the superintendent ,
"that you know nothing about that notice
tacked up tli re"
Julius read It over qnlbtly nnd smiled.
"You'll find that there Isn't much to laugh
about before you get through. This Is a
matter of murder. "
"Why ? " demanded' Julius.
"Why ! Do you supp u that a lot of dyna
mite can bo drt peu Mo this crowded city
without terrible ( lest/action of life ? " returned
the superintendent. I
"No ; but what la .going to drop the dyna
mite ? "
"Can't you read that notice ? "
"Certainly ; whererdow It say so ? "
"It Intimates as much. "
"Not to my mind. "
"Do you mean t6 say that that balloon
carries nn explosive or not ? "
"I thought you Just said that It did. "
"Never mind what L.c.Ud does It ? "
"I don't know. "
"That will do , " ald the superintendent ,
stepping to the dooN "Wo shall find other
means ot dealing with you. "
The officer who entered snapped a pair of
handcuffs on Julius' wrists.
"Ono moment , " said Julius ; "what am I
arrested for ? "
"As an accessory to sending up that b&loon
laden with a dangerous explosive. "
"Which you do not know is there. "
"Take him "
"Ono moment. Mr. Superintendent ! " There
was a ring In the man's \-olce which made the
officer relax hh hold on h's arm. "You have
omitted to ask one question and the most
Important of all. You believe that a great
peril threatens. In dealing with It , you
merely follow your Instinct as a detective
to flnd the perpetrator. There M a more
pressing need than that. Will finding him
avert the danger If not , how Is It to be
met ? "
The superintendent saw the force of the
remark and motioned the policeman to wait.
"Can you prevent It ? " he demanded.
"Yes. "
"Nevertheless you didn't send up the bal
loon and don't know anything about It. "
"Then why arrest me ? "
"Very well. Prevent It and you go free. "
Julius turned away contemptuously. Then
he said :
"Do you really suppose that that balloon ,
charged , as you say , with a deadly torpedo ,
was sent up simply that I might tell you how
to avoid Its effects In order to get clear of
arrest for not having anything to do with It ? "
"What do you mean ? "
"Simply this. I can prevent this , and so
save , as you believe , Immense destruction of
life and property. I will do so for $100.000. "
"A blackmailing scheme , then ? "
"How so ? "
"To send up this balloon and threaten to

"I did not s nd up the billoon. Even

"Your game won't work. "
"Very well ; lock me up. But remember

When the tmo ! comes for public execration ,
Mr. Superintendent , the psople will Judge
between the man who offers himself as their
avlor , and you , their servant , who con
demned them to this calamity rather than
give the Just reward for their protection. "
And here the conversation ended. Julius
was locked up In the nearest pollcs station.
hortly afterward the mayor , having arrived
on the scene , entered Into earnest consulta-
lon with the supjrlntendent. The result
A as the- posting of hand-bills all over the
city , and the publication In all the newspa
pers of a call for suggestions of ways and
means to prevent the balloon dropping Its
oad. For any successful plan a reward of
$5,000 was offered.
And meanwhile , as Julius had predicted ,
he great strike was forgotUn.

"Milliner and Dress Maker. " | THE NEW YORK DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1805.
On a hot day in August, the time ball on the Western Union telegraph building, in the city of New York, dropped precisely at noon. Instantly thereafter there was a chorus of steam whistles and then silence. The whistles attracted no particular attention; the silence did. People gradually became conscious of it. They missed something. They stopped and thought about it and looked at one another inquiringly, and, presently, the great tide of humanity which is always moving in one way or the other on Broadway ceased its flow; little groups gathered on the street corners and invaded the roadway. Just as if some procession were expected to pass.
The great thoroughfare presented an odd appearance. Vehicles there were, as usual, of all sorts: streetcars and trucks and carts and coaches but all were standing still. The drivers were unhitching their horses and leading them away. On the elevated railways, the trains had ceased running. Passengers from those which had stopped between stations were alighting and walking along the structure or clambering down from it on ladders. On the riverfronts, the ferryboats remained in their slips; the busy tugs were moored to their piers. Only a few sailing craft drifted lazily about in the harbor.
The silence continued perhaps for half an hour. Then there came a dull roar, not the muffled din always arising from the streets, but that of escaping steam, great clouds of which could be seen rising over the city. In fact, every boiler was blowing off, for, as if by common consent, every escape valve had been lifted and every fire had been hauled. At the gas works, the furnace doors stood open and the retorts empty. In the telegraph offices, the instruments clicked away, but no one heeded them. In the post office and at the stations and in the street boxes, the letters accumulated, for the mail wagons had no drivers. The machinery in all the factories of New York stood idle. No conveyances moved, and upon every industry a sudden stroke of paralysis had fallen. And this was the cause of it:
Michael McCarthy, vendor of "growing shamrock plants," bog, oak ornaments, and shillelaghs in Queenstown harbor, having engaged in too prolonged haggling on board the Teutonic, suddenly discovered, at the close of his bargaining, that the green hills of his native land were fading in the dim distance at the rate of twenty knots per hour. He arrived in New York on the eve of a close election, and, without knowing exactly why, he was conveyed from Ellis Island to a naturalization bureau, and there put in a fair way to aid us in settling our tariff and other questions, before the Emerald Isle had left his broads. In order to retain this valuable assistance, work was found for Michael as a cobbler, a trade he had once followed in the old country in the establishment of Mrs. Helritch Shoeffel, in Avenue A, and there he was manfully stitching and hammering away when a visitor, entering the shop, announced himself as a "walking delegate." This information imparted to Mrs. Shoeffel, was not disagreeable. Inasmuch as it suggested extensive need of shoe leather, but when she discovered that the visitor said nothing about the purchase of boots, but simply demanded the ostracizing of Michael McCarthy for failure to join United Cobblers' union No. 61, she placidly resumed her interrupted occupation of binding one of those colossal carpet slippers, so dear to the east side German heart, and ignored him, until the sharp slam of the shop door brought from the depths of her capacious bosom a long-drawn sigh of "Ach sol!" Thereupon Mrs. Shoeffel was boycotted, and the ban was extended to the merchants who furnished her little supplies.
And thus it worked backward to a great leather dealer in the Swamp, who, being contumacious, found himself without truck men and handlers. And the strike ramified and spread, and finally the result which has already been noted came about, and the industries and the conveyances of the metropolis were brought to a standstill.
Now the most singular thing about this strike was its remarkably orderly character. There were no indignation meetings, no denunciations of "capital," no breaches of the peace, no mobs; but in place of these accompaniments of the old-fashioned struggle, there was simple stagnation. Labor, as such, effaced itself. It announced the new doctrine that its natural antithesis was not "capital," but Idleness. It would enforce its just demands, not by warfare on capital, but by stopping work. Society might try how it liked being made up entirely of leisure classes.
And society did not like it. Matters were indeed bad when the Harlem paterfamilias had to walk to his Wall Street office, but when it came to sending the whole household scurrying about after milk and meat and ice, nay, when he himself had to play charioteer to the coal cart, things were clearly getting serious.
The city of New York confronted a great public emergency. But the man to deal with it was at hand, and the evening of the fourth day after the general stoppage began found him calmly smoking a cigarette upon one of the benches in Bryant Square.
"I tell you, Smith," remarked this man of destiny to his companion, who was lazily staring up at the stars, "there is only one way out of this trouble. Something has got to happen in this town which will interest everybody so tremendously, which must just grip everybody's attention so closely that when it happens this strike business will be suddenly forgotten."
The person addressed yawned carelessly. In fact, he did not seem particularly impressed by the idea suggested to him, for his answer was irrelevant.
"Say, Julius, what are you striking for, anyhow?"
"Most I'm not."
"Can't you get anything to do?"
"Perhaps so, don't know."
"How did you get out of work?"
"City editor bounced me."
"Why for?"
"Sent me to interview the Korean ambassadors. Couldn't speak Korean, so I got a man to come along who said he could interpret. Brought back two columns of first-class matter. Next day the ambassadors sent a note to the managing editor that they would be going to dinner at 6, and before he had half finished his head, down they came to the office. In two four-horse stages, all rigged up in rainbow clothes. Said I had invited them, and when they found there wasn't any meal there was a row and diplomatic representations in Washington and the deuce to pay. I left."
"You might have practiced then what you preach now, and given them something else to think about, so that the dinner would be forgotten."
"Couldn't think of anything."
"Well, it isn't so easy, of course. Still, I might have helped you. There's my balloon. You might have astonished them with it somehow, dare say."
"What sort of a balloon?"
"The kind you go up in."
"What on earth are you doing with it?"
"Sleeping on it after having loaned a man $310 on it and foreclosed the mortgage. Come along, I'm going home."
Smith stretched himself, got upon his feet, and walked on. The man called Julius sat thinking. Finally, he rose, and both men strolled leisurely across the enclosure.
"Where did you get it, Smith," said Julius, finally.
"What? Oh, the balloon! That's quite a story. There was an old chap came to board THIS THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE HEAD AT 10 A.M.
In the house I live in, who was the wildest sort of an inventor. One thing he tried to get up was a telegraph which would send smells, another was an explosive state, but he couldn't get anyone to go into either, though he spent pretty much all his own money trying experiments. Finally, he braced up for one last great effort and concocted a balloon which he was going to steer like a boat. Maybe he didn't work over it. Borrowed money from everybody he knew to buy silk and cord and things, but he didn't go up. In fact, he went down. They fished him out somewhere in Hell Gate. I took his traps for what he owed me."
Julius asked no further questions and the two walked on in silence, until his companion stopped near the corner of Forty-fourth street and Third avenue.
"See here," he said, "are you walking in your sleep?"
"No," said Julius, slowly. "I was just thinking. Do you know that I think I've got it?"
"Got what?" said Smith bantially.
"I think I can end this strike business and in the way I said, if I can have your balloon."
"If you can tell me where you live, I'll promise to take you there safely," said Smith bantering.
"I'm in earnest," replied the other soberly.
"I should like to go with you to where that balloon is and talk about it," said Smith, looking at him rather keenly this time perhaps a little suspiciously and then with a light laugh shrugged his shoulders and led the way to a shabby brick dwelling in East Forty-fourth street, the door of which he opened with his latchkey and motioned Julius to enter. The hall had that peculiar combined odor of cabbage and washing soda which characterizes a boarding house of the cheapest class and was pitch dark. Smith led the way upstairs by the flickering light of a match, until the front attic room was reached. There they lit their pipes and began talking. Daylight was streaming in at the windows, but there was nothing about the two men to show their loss of sleep. They were sitting, Smith on a trunk which he had dragged out of the closet face to face, with both feet on the floor, as men always do when they talk of important things. The balloon had been hauled off the bed, spread out on the floor and examined. An old safe near the window had been cleared of the mass of clothes and odds and ends which covered it, and its doors stood open, revealing some rusty mechanism. A huge roll of cotton-covered wire had evidently been exhumed from under the bed, and inside the safe had been found what Julius first thought wore preserve jars, but which turned out to be the cells of a voltaic battery dry as to contents, but needing only to be filled with water and acid to make them give a strong current of electricity.
A floorboard had been lifted in the middle of the room. Just over the place where ran the gas pipe which supplied the fixture to the room below.
At length, Julius arose, and said, emphasizing his words by tapping the rickety table with his finger: "We want no misunderstanding about this, and I think so far there is none. You will surrender this room tomorrow as it is, and I will hire it. At the agreed time you will come back. I will admit you, so that no one will know of your presence here. I will then go out openly. While I am temporarily absent from the house, you will do as we have settled. You will then leave the house and disappear. You will not reveal the part you have taken in this, no matter what may happen. And of whatever is gained I agree to give you half."
On the early morning of the eleventh day after the great strike had begun, anyone passing through the uptown streets might have seen groups of people at every corner, intently staring at something in the sky. Before noon these groups had increased to crowds, and the numbers of the gazers were reinforced by people at windows and people on the house tops, all gazing skyward. The object of their attention was a balloon, which floated gracefully at an elevation of perhaps 500 feet, but was held by a slender wire, which led to somewhere in the vicinity of the Grand Central depot. The balloon bore no sign; hence it was not intended as an advertisement. In fact, it was of the dull, brownish hue of the well-varnished silk used in making air ships for actual aeronautical use.
THE OBJECT OF THEIR ATTENTION WAS A BALLOON.
In the small basket which served as a car there was no one but beneath it was suspended an object suspiciously like a large crockery water pitcher.
Now, a balloon hovering over New York, even if it be only one of the miniature red globes made for children's playthings, is always sure to attract abundant attention; but here was not only a balloon, but a large one, sent aloft for no other purpose than to carry a water pitcher. Nothing better calculated to arouse the always poignant curiosity of the average New Yorker could have been imagined. So the crowds grew larger until nightfall, rendering the balloon invisible, compelled them to disperse.
But next morning, the big globe being still there, the popular interest perceptibly increased and people began to move in masses towards East Forty-fourth street, to go behind the thoroughfare it was clear that the confining wire of the balloon led; but just which house it was difficult to determine from the roadway. Numerous inquirers rang the doorbells of all the houses in consecutive order, but on most of these residences were flats and the parties whose bells were rung were invariably the occupants of the basement floor, answers of an intemperate character only were elicited. As for the house to which the wire actually led, the abode of Smith the landlady was too well accustomed to bitter complaints concerning the performances of her former inventive lodger to pay any attention to suggestions or inquiries from her callers; and, in fact, as soon as she discovered that the hiring of rooms was not in question a sudden slam of the front door constituted her sole response.
Meanwhile, certain reporters, having ferreted out some little information, kept it to themselves until the following startling headlines appeared in an extra of an afternoon paper:
HORROR!
DESTRUCTION AT HAND!
New York About to Be Laid in Ashes.
A Terrible Explosive Suspended Over the City, and to be Dropped Automatically if There Is No Response.
There was no evidence given to support this, but supposition and suggestion was so artfully blended throughout a column of double-leaded, big type that the ordinarily careless reader would at once jump to the conclusion that all the details of the impending danger were definitely known. The crowds about East Forty-fourth street now became so dense and unruly that collisions with the police were frequent. The detectives meanwhile had followed the balloon wire into the front attic room where the all-night conversation between Julius and Smith had occurred. There the wire appeared to be wound around the outside of a large iron safe, but its end, or rather ends, for nearer inspection showed it to be double, entered a hole drilled in the safe door, which was locked. On the safe was placed the following notice:
To the Mayor:
In this safe is a voltaic battery which sends a current of electricity along these wires to the balloon. The big pitcher is large enough to hold sufficient dynamite to throw down a block of buildings. The pitcher is supported by an electromagnetic device, so that it will not drop as long as the strength of the electrical current remains the same.
But if the current is weakened or stops, or the pitcher fastening is in any wise tampered with, then the pitcher will certainly fall. Clockwork in the state will break the current in just fifty-eight hours. The slightest attempt to open the safe door will blow up a torpedo within.
August 23, 3 o'clock p.m.
This the superintendent of police read at just 10 a.m. on the 25th. "Time's up at 1 o'clock tonight," he said quietly. The inmates of the house had already been placed under surveillance. He now gave orders for the arrest of all of them and for the vacating of all houses engulfed by the balloon.
The weather was warm and sultry. Little air was stirring in the streets, but aloft there were light currents constantly varying in direction. The balloon was crowded to the south and west of its anchorage. The sea breeze, certain to spring up in the afternoon, would waft it probably in the opposite direction. If the wind were strong, the captive globe would tauten its wire and move around a large area; if light airs prevailed, the wire would become more nearly vertical. The safest place was obviously the house in which the wire was secured, because only in the most remote possibility of absolute calm could the balloon remain directly above the fastening point of its cable. The wire might be a couple of thousand feet long. No one then felt like calculating how large an area of the city was menaced. That it was a large one, that it included both a densely populated section and raw areas of the most palatial residences in New York was only too plain.
The authorities at once put the superintendent's order into effect. The balloon being now directly over the Union League club house, squads of police invaded every residence for blocks around the menaced edifice and forced the dwellers not only into the streets, but out of all streets which might possibly be endangered by falling walls. The sick were carried out on their beds. All available vehicles were pressed into service to transport the children, the women and the aged. After half of the section supposed to be immediately menaced was thus cleared, the wind shifted and the balloon swung over the Windsor hotel. While the police were emptying this hostelry, the people previously ejected returned to their dwellings.
The news had been telegraphed downtown, and the desertion of the whole business quarter of the city followed. There was a simultaneous rush for the region of the residents, a rush of men frantic with fear and apprehension for their imperiled families. Great throngs choked the streets and avenues. The populace saw the uselessness of trying to avoid a danger which constantly shifted its probable point of attack. The opposition became violent, riotous and finally the police, literally overwhelmed by numbers, ceased their efforts. The hotels and boarding houses remained empty; the occupants of dwelling houses returned and began less hurried preparations for removal from the menaced district.
The arrested lodgers had meanwhile been closely interrogated by the superintendent but none of them could shed the smallest light on the mystery of how or by whom that balloon had been sent aloft. The landlady told of her former inventive boarder, and thus accounted for the existence of the balloon and the safe. The fate of their own landlady, the police already knew. Since his death, the room had been let to one Smith, who had departed several days ago, and since then had been occupied by one Julius R. Crawford.
"Then the question is," said the superintendent, "where is Julius R. Crawford?" There was a slight commotion outside the room, and the young man called Julius somewhat out of breath, made his way through the crowd of policemen and reporters.
"That is my name," he said, quietly. "I heard of this inquiry and returned here as quickly as possible. I had some difficulty in getting in."
The murmur of surprise which ran around the apartment was hushed by the sharp order of the superintendent that the room cleared.
"You are under arrest," he said to Julius when they were alone, saving the official stenographer.
"I suppose so."
"You are not obliged to answer questions which incriminate yourself, but anything you say may be used against you."
"The usual formula?"
"Ah, you have heard it before?"
"We'll see. You occupy this room?"
"Yes."
"Anyone else in the room with you?"
"No."
"Any business?"
"Not now."
"The landlady says that that balloon and that safe have been here some time."
"Does she?"
The superintendent looked at the man sternly. Julius returned his gaze with entire calmness.
"You're not disposed to be communicative, I see," said the officer, finally. "Unlike the others."
"What others?"
"Oh, come now. This game is up. Your friends have told everything, and..."
Julius laughed contemptuously.
"I have nothing to conceal, no one has said anything, nor has anyone anything to tell," he said, finally. "I did not send up the balloon."
"Who did?"
"I saw no one do it."
"It certainly was sent up from this house; it is anchored in this room."
"Quite so, during the night of August 21, I understand."
"Where were you at the time?"
"Conoy Island."
"Was that balloon here when you left?"
"Certainly. He was sewing up the holes in it."
"Who?"
"I decline to say."
"Did he tell you what he was going to do with the balloon?"
"No."
"Did you ask?"
"No, purposely."
"Why?"
"I thought I would be questioned by the police and didn't want to know."
"When did you return to your room?"
"Just now.
"That is rather a poor story, my man."
Julius shrugged his shoulders.
"I suppose," continued the superintendent, "that you know nothing about that notice tacked up there?"
Julius read it over quietly and smiled.
"You'll find that there isn't much to laugh about before you get through. This is a matter of murder."
"Why?" demanded Julius.
"Why! Do you suppose that a lot of dynamite can be dropped on this crowded city without terrible loss of life?" returned the superintendent.
"No; but what is going to drop the dynamite?"
"Can't you read that notice?"
"Certainly; where does it say so?"
"It intimates as much."
"Not to my mind."
"Do you mean to say that that balloon carries an explosive or not?"
"I thought you just said that it did."
"Never mind what it does. It?"
"I don't know."
"That will do," said the superintendent, stepping to the door. "We shall find other means of dealing with you."
The officer who entered snapped a pair of handcuffs on Julius' wrists.
"One moment," said Julius; "what am I arrested for?"
"As an accessory to sending up that balloon laden with a dangerous explosive."
"Which you do not know is there."
"Take him"
"One moment. Mr. Superintendent! There was a ring in the man's voice which made the officer relax his hold on his arm. "You have omitted to ask one question and the most important of all. You believe that a great peril threatens. In dealing with it, you merely follow your instinct as a detective to find the perpetrator. There is a more pressing need than that. Will finding him avert the danger? If not, how is it to be met?"
The superintendent saw the force of the remark and motioned the policeman to wait.
"Can you prevent it?" he demanded.
Yes. "Nevertheless, you didn't send up the balloon and don't know anything about it." "Then why arrest me?" "Very well. Prevent it and you go free." Julius turned away contemptuously. Then he said: "Do you really suppose that that balloon, charged, as you say, with a deadly torpedo, was sent up simply that I might tell you how to avoid its effects in order to get clear of arrest for not having anything to do with it?" "What do you mean?" "Simply this. I can prevent this, and so save, as you believe, immense destruction of life and property. I will do so for $100,000." "A blackmailing scheme, then?" "How so?" "To send up this balloon and threaten to murder with it, unless you are paid not to do so." "I did not send up the balloon. Even the apprehension of its danger is all yours, not mine." "Your game won't work." "Very well; lock me up. But remember, by arresting me as the perpetrator of this supposed outrage, me, the very person, on your own showing, best able to apply the remedy, who is not only able, but willing. Have you read that notice? The hours are flying, and it will soon be too late. And then whose is the responsibility for the dreadful result—yours or mine? Blackmail? Is it blackmail for the physicians who fight the epidemic to ask their pay? Does the sum I ask equal in value the good I may do? When the time comes for public execration, Mr. Superintendent, the people will judge between the man who offers himself as their savior, and you, their servant, who condemned them to this calamity rather than give the just reward for their protection." And here the conversation ended. Julius was locked up in the nearest police station. Shortly afterward, the mayor, having arrived on the scene, entered into earnest consultation with the superintendent. The result was the posting of hand-bills all over the city, and the publication in all the newspapers of a call for suggestions of ways and means to prevent the balloon from dropping its load. For any successful plan, a reward of $5,000 was offered. And meanwhile, as Julius had predicted, the great strike was forgotten. (To be continued tomorrow.)

NEW YORK , May 1. There was

The Evening Poet In its financial review todi
inys : More lmi rtant than any other develo
nont In the day's market was the weakness
sterling exchange. Except for the tempoin
decline tn the second week of April , rates
exchange have steadily pierced to a muxlmu
ever since the bond syndicate contract. T
reason for this has been explained. The natur
movement of exchange was to the point of actu
gald shipment. Buch a movement the symllcn
'n performance of Its contract averted throui
Its own sales of sterling. Dut as their wish w
merely to hold the market under the point
forced exports of specie , the syndicate bnnke
naturally withheld their bills until top rat
were bid. At present there are In process
; oipummatlon several irnnsactlons through whl
the current demand for sterling may be m
ivlth bills drawn against * recent security sales
lyjndon. The syndicate bankers have themsclv
ilaced In I/mdon within a fortnight two
hree blocks of American securities , Includli
hose of the Southern Railway , the Manlmtti
Elevated , and probably nt least one other cor
pany. Hut how far these sales will net towa
he permanent depression of exchange Is as >
loubtful , It Is quite possible syndicate banke
hero would cover on such reaction port of th <
iwn previous sales of sterling. Permanent mov
inentA In this , as In so many other markets , a
'Ikuly to depend on the unfolding outlook f
.he crops.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
Wheat Was Strong on Steadiness in the Foreign Markets.
RAINS IN NEBRASKA QUITE A FEATURE
Corn Started Easing but Hogs Became Stronger
Cable Advices Were Encouraging
and the Seaboard Sent Hay.
In New York, May 1. largely because of the tendencies in foreign markets, wheat was slightly higher today, closing 1c higher in July. July corn closed 1c higher, oats 1c higher, and provisions practically unchanged.
The first thing to strike the wheat traders was the steadiness of the Liverpool market, notwithstanding yesterday's weakness here. The significance of the foreign business was that the heavy receipts, which had been in a large measure the cause of the decline here yesterday, were not apparently worrying the people there. The quantity of wheat delivered was generally estimated at about 3,100,000 bu., being delivered by the elevator companies and taken by some eight or ten commission houses. Drought had fallen considerably in the drought regions of southern Kansas, Nebraska, and the Dakotas, but in this respect, drought is being more frequently mentioned than before. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 413 cars, against 255 a week ago, and 1,300 (bu. on the corresponding day of the year before. Export figures from the Atlantic seaboard were only 1,700,000 bu., and with flour only 208,000 bu. The figures made up the hard facts again which bulls threw themselves over several times. The market started for the most part under the influence of the better cables, assisted by a vague feeling that there is great danger in selling short, July, which closed yesterday at 69c to 63c, opened at 63 1/2c, and from that up to 59c. May at the same time brought from 62c to 63 1/2c. June July had risen to 61c and May to 61 1/2c, but on a downward reception which followed, July tumbled faster than May, at one time there was hardly a sentiment that the prices of the two months. A few people were willing to buy May and July at 1/2c spread at their start during the forenoon. The feeling in the pit changed several times, comceiling there was a great scarcity of sellers and at others a dearth of buyers. July went over 62c and 63 1/2c twice before 12 o'clock, and on the second occasion, its advancing it sold at 61 1/2c. May brought 63 1/2c at the same time. There was no inquiry at the seaboard for export and no here, as far as could be ascertained to the close, but May advanced and closed at 64c, and July to 61c and closed at 60 1/2c.
Closing cables reported recovery abroad from yesterday's break. Paris, Berlin, and Liverpool came higher.
Corn started easy, but soon became strong. The cable advices were encouraging, and the seaboard sent buying orders. Sales were made for shipment of 75,000 bu. No. 2 yellow at 48c, and of 75,000 bu. No. 3 yellow at 47 1/2c. The May price was 49c for an instant at the start, and was 49c bid at the close. July opened at 47 1/2c and was at its highest point, 49 1/2c, at the close. Receipts here were 232 cars, or fewer than had been estimated, and for tomorrow the estimates are 243 cars. Primary market receipts were 327,000 bu., against 434,000 bu., a year ago. The fact that corn was not being delivered on May contracts was one of the bull points helping to advance.
At the opening, the market for oats showed a slightly easier feeling, following the action of wheat and corn. The demand for the market was strong, and at the close showed an advance of 1/4c on May from 1/2c to 7c on the more deferred deliveries. Shorts were buying, also elevators, shippers, and the crowd in general. People who lately have sold there were also sending in orders to buy. Business was quite heavy, although scattered. May sold from 56 1/2c to 58c, and closed with sellers at that price. June ranged from 27 1/2c to 28c, and from 27 1/2c to 29c, closing with the latter price bid.
Provisions were the least interesting of the speculative markets. The tendency was downward, but the strength of the cash market came to help prices, and in the changes were slight for the day. Pork opened 1c off, but recovered all but 1/2c that. Lard and ribs both closed with scarcely any change. The hog receipts were 31,000 head, and 28,000 are estimated for tomorrow. Receipts for April were 45,682 head, against 529,920 head during April.

STOCKS AND PRODUCE.
Here (A Fairly Good Distribution), New York, May 1. There was fairly good distribution of business at the Stock Exchange today and the transactions were comparatively heavy, notwithstanding the fact that there were periods of inactivity, notably during the morning, where speculation was quite sluggish. The undertone of the market was, however, firm throughout and although there were occasional reactions, there was not great pressure to sell at any time and the changes in prices of the day are, in the main, toward higher figures, the exceptions being a rule in specialties. The dealings were to a large extent for the home account, as it was a holiday in London Exchange, and the strictly commercial houses were more largely in the market than usual, which goes to show that outside interest is being attracted to the street. The bulk of the trading was in the Industrials, the Grain, Heading and Kansas & Texas preferred, which showed an advance with only slight reactions to the close, the last being the highest price of the day and 2½ percent above yesterday's. The final sale, buying was credited to an intra-pool; others had a numerous following from among the room traders. The upward movement in Leather stock was renewed, becoming common being in most request and selling at 4½ percent, with a final reaction of 1½ percent. The preferred closed at the top figure, making a gain of 1½ percent on last night's price. The appreciation in the shares was due to the advance in the value of leather and the report of a bright trade prospects, A renewal of the rumors of a combination of the Cordage company to purchase the raw material induced purchases of those stocks, with the result of a net gain of 5½ percent in both common and preferred. The bears made a feeble assault on the grain, which gave way a mere fraction and quickly recovered, closing at an improvement of 5½ to 6½ percent, the latter in Northwestern. The market closed strong. There was a moderate decrease in the volume of the bond trading, but the tone of the market was firm. Cordage advanced to 90¾, and lost the improvement. The aggregate sales were $245,000.
The Evening Post in its financial review today says: More important than any other development in the day's market was the weakness in sterling exchange. Except for the temporary decline in the second week of April, rates of exchange have steadily risen to a maximum ever since the bond syndicate contract. The reason for this has been explained. The natural movement of exchange was to the point of actual gold shipment. Such a movement the symmetrical performance of its contract averted through its own sales of sterling. But as their wish was merely to hold the market under the point of forced exports of specie, the syndicate bankers, of course, withheld their bills until top rates were bid. At present there are in process of accumulation several transactions through which the current demand for sterling may be met with bills drawn against recent security sales from London. The syndicate bankers have themselves placed in London within a fortnight three blocks of American securities, including those of the Southern Railway, the Manhattan Elevated, and probably at least one other corporation. But how far these sales will tend to the permanent depression of exchange is as doubtful, It is quite possible syndicate bankers here would cover on such reaction part of their previous sales of sterling. Permanent movement in this, as in so many other markets, will have to depend on the unfolding outlook for the crops.

OMAHA LIVE STOCK MARKET:
Receipts of Cattle were a decided decrease over last week's figures.
TRADE DULL AND PRICES GOING DOWN:
After the initial success of 100 to 150 sales of Cattle and 200 hogs and 100 sheep in the morning, the market was weak and inactive for the remainder of the day. Receipts yesterday were 1,500 cattle, 4,701 hogs, and 431 sheep. One thousand cattle, 600 hogs, and 300 sheep were brought in Wednesday of last week.
The total receipts for the week thus far are 4,600 cattle, 9,600 hogs, and 1,314 sheep, against 2,825 cattle, 9,343 hogs, and 6,416 sheep for the first half of last week.
CATTLE: There was not quite as large a number of cattle in today as yesterday and the market suffered a decline of 5c or 10c in good fat cattle prices. The market was dull and spiritless from beginning to end, the buyers not appearing very anxious for the offerings. The speculative demand was light at the same time, owing to the unfavorable condition of eastern markets. The bulk of the steers sold went at $11½ to $12.
The receipts of cows and heifers were lighter than the usual light run and prices were not changed to any extent. There were perhaps three or four loads in sale all told. The demand was good and the offerings were all taken early.
There were perhaps three or four loads of feeders. Trading was very dull and bidding was lower. Very little outside inquiry, Representative sales:
STEERS:

38 steers $1112.3 $129 steers $1317.401
HOGS The quality of hogs in today was considered I hardly over $600 as yesterday and the prices dropped 6c to 10c. The buyers were slow to buy at first, but toward the close trade became quite active, as hogs seemed to be selling low, although prices had not changed since the opening.
The bulk of sales today were from $4.40 to $4.60 against $4.30 to $4.65 yesterday, and it took very good hogs to bring over $4.80. One load of very good heavy hogs brought $4.80. Representative sales:

About 2,000 Texas cattle were offered and sales were fair at unchanged prices. About 35,000 hogs were offered today, including those left over from yesterday.

AFFAIRS AT THE BOARD OF HEALTH *
No Declaration Reached Upon the Incubation Tax.
The ordinance committee of the city council is still undecided as to the amount they recommend for an occupation tax. That the city needs money is evident to all of the city fathers, but times are so hard and business is so dull that most of the members of the council are hesitating before levying any special taxes. Some of the saloon license holders who own property here are in favor of an occupation tax of $100. At present city warrants are very cheap and the last levy is not available until August. The firemen cannot get any pay, and have to sell their claim against the city for what they can get from them. Mayor Johnston thinks that an occupation tax is the only way out of the difficulty.
Changes in the School Board.
On next Monday evening three of the newly elected members of the Board of Education will take their seats. They are Messrs. Talbot, Michael, and Slate. These new members will merely be added to committees, in no one on the old board retires until July. When the other two members-elect, Hubbard and Shriver, take their seats on July 1st, the board will organize by the election of a president and the appointing of new committees. It is claimed by one of the new members that W. D. Check will be elected president of the board. If such a thing should come to pass, Gideon factory wants. Two well-known business men already have their eyes on the seats.

CONSEIL pour leVEST numéroté dans la journée si favorable au grand triomphe!
Conseil qui a ensuite témoigné que le défendant était sane, le maire de UNION, Mo., May L'a JURY composé entièrement de fermiers fut enfin sécurisé pour le millionnaire Dr. Duestrow, le St. Louis wife and child murderer. Le gouverneur Johnson, avocat pour Duestrow, a obtenu que tous les témoins, excepté les experts médicaux, soient exclus du tribunal pendant le dépôt des preuves. Il a essayé de faire déplacer également les experts mais ce fut vain.
James L. Ulair, des avocats Bidden & Ulair, qui aujourd'hui ont retiré comme conseil pour Duestrow, fut le premier témoin. Il a raconté l'histoire des relations avec Duestrow. Il avait été le père avocat de Duestrow, et a décrit les symptômes de la maladie mentale au cours des diverses étapes. Il considérait le defendant comme insane. Au cours de l'examen par le procureur, le témoin a déclaré que Duestrow's ravagings commencèrent bien après qu'il eut été vu par le docteur Laudau, qui avait été retenu par le conseil de la défense comme expert en folie.

This afternoon the teams In the We'tern

It Is probably asking too much to wish for as
close a contest as the one of last season , but
that there will bo plenty of Interest In It la

real base ball neather Is on ua wo will have
games from the home team nt least that will

tice the other teams of the association have
shown that they are not to be despised , but
arc prepared to put up a game of ball fiat
will delight the heart of the most fastidious
of cranks. Criticism at this time wera Invid

Opening Games of the Western Association Championship Schedule.
HOME TEAM WILL MAKE IT MEMORABLE
Public Officials Will Join In a Parade March.
Before the Games at the Park.
Hally Hurt.
This afternoon the teams in the Western association are off in the championship race. It is probably asking too much to wish for as close a contest as the one of last season, but that there will be plenty of interest in it is assured in advance. Omaha's promise has been given in the exhibition games; the team timing plenty of good ball from the beginning, and each succeeding game showing improvement, till it is certain that when once the real baseball weather is on us we will have games from the home team at least that will be worth watching. On paper and in practice the other teams of the association have shown that they are not to be despised, but are prepared to put up a game of ball that will delight the heart of the most fastidious of cranks. Criticism at this time were invidious, and will not now be indulged in.
It is the intention of the Omaha management to make the opening game a memorable one. This afternoon a parade will be made, catering the principal streets of the business part of town, and comprising the mayor, city council and other city officers, the judges of the district court, and county officials, the Quincy team and the Omaha team, in their bright new uniforms. This will make on imposing array of carriages, headed by a band. At the grounds every lady will be presented with a souvenir of value and a bouquet, while those who may care to may guess on the actual number of paid admissions, the lady coming nearest to the number to be presented with a season ticket.
Joe Walsh's smiling face will be missed from the game, as he has decided to give his injured limbs a little more time before taking them into active service. Big fat Hilly O'Brien, the best natured man in the world, bringing Charley Brody, will play first base for Omaha. It is uncertain who will catch, though Pace is put down for the opening game. He met an accident during practice yesterday which was thought of little consequence at the time, but last night was so serious that it appeared possible his life might be endangered. Lehman has a split finger, but may be able to go in. It is also possible that Pace will be able to divide the game with him.
Game will be called promptly at 3:30 o'clock and the teams will be

English Talent Plays a Sum Thing and Loses Lots of Money,
RACONTEUR AT EVENS RUNS IN THE RUCK
No Home In the Uno but He Was No Our, Two, Three at the Finish
LONDON, May 1 - The result of the race at Newmarket for the 2,000 guineas stake was the biggest upset the backers have had for a long time past. Nearly all the sporting authorities regarded Mr. H. McAlmont's Racountour, a bay colt, a sure winner, in spite of the fact that he had to meet Lord Hesher's Sir Visto, who was formerly considered far superior to Racountour, who was bought as a yearling for 1,000 guineas, and who did indifferently as a 3-year-old. Consequently, the other horses in the race found themselves at a disadvantage. Racountour, Sir Visto, and Speedwell, wide of each other, appeared in front until coming down the hill, when Imeno took up the running, but Kirk Connell quickly challenged him and won cleverly by two lengths. The selling plate of 103 sovereigns for 3-year-olds, colts to carry eight stone twelve pounds, and fillies eight stone nine pounds, the winner to be sold at auction for 200 sovereigns, entrance fee 3 sovereigns, five furlongs, was won by Pluggington, a bay colt by Royal Hampton, out of Flaring Bridget; Cordovan, a bay colt by Juggler, out of Cordova, was second, and Mr. Postlimp Liveen's filly by Amplon, out of Inverdale, was third. Eight horses ran.
A dispatch to the Evening Standard from Newmarket says the absence of American horses from competition in the Heath high weight handicap caused considerable disappointment. The prince of Wales and Lord Hesher were among the spectators.

CHICAGO, May 1 The regular racing season in Chicago opened auspiciously at
the Hawthorne Track today. The card was
not an impressive one, few of the good
horses stabled at the track being ready to
race, but the quality of the field was good
enough to give the Cicero course, which is
now lightning fast, a few new records.
William T easily beat George F Smith in
the opening race, doing the five furlongs
in 1:00 and a half seconds. Ashland's
tally in 1:10-74 also lowered the track record.

WASHINGTON, May 1 The chief toplo
of discussion at St. Asaph track this afternoon was the defeat of the Percy-Gray
racing bill Mr. Lamont arrived at the
track during the afternoon. He seemed
confident the bill would be given a fourth
rendering. The horsemen, as a rule, seem to
think the prospect of racing in New York
rather slim. The attendance today was
good. Three favorites landed the money
for the talent. The stake event of the day
was the Anacostia, of $1,000, for 3-year-olds,
and was won by A. H and D. H. Morris's
colt, Owlet. Results

GAVE IH3 1.AD3 . A SUPPER
NetTdboys nirl HnotblncftR I.'ntcrtiilncd by
the Snlvnflon Army.
Last night some fifty of the prominent
members ot the newsboy and bootblack cir
cles of the city partook of a supper at the
Salvation Army barracks that had been pre
pared for them by the soldiers. The spread
was wholesome and bountiful , good homemade
made articles , and everything passed OR
smoothly with the exception of some exhibi
tions of the Innate deviltry that dwells
within bodies " . "
the of the "professionals.
After they had taken off the sharp edge o1
their appetites , they began to throw bread
and biscuits across the tables at each other ,
and this ceased only after a dozen had bcn
thrown bodily out of the hall.
At the conclusion of the supper , those thai
remained llstended to a brief service of song ,
prayer and speaking , the latter blng dent
by Captain Austin Chapman. The boys kepi
pretty quiet , chiefly through the threat thai
they would get no oranges or bananas aftei
the serviceIf they did not behave. In thf
middle of the service the first contingent
that had been flred from the hall gathered
together several mouthorgans and began t <
play Jigs , which set the feet of a majority ol
the worshippers to moving. Not more thar
one boy , however , was thrown out even
three minutes. After the service was ovei
a rush was made for the door , where thi
oranges and bananas were distributed. Thi

Last night shortly before S o'clock Mrs. C
W. Edgerton , the wife of Judge Edgerton
was violently thrown from a buggy on Far
Jiam street between Thirty-fifth and Thirty
sixth streets. She was bruised on the left sld
of her face and it Is thought that one of he
ribs on the left side Is broken. It was 1m
possible to toll last night whether she wa
Injured Internally , but It was feared that sh
was. She was taken to her home , 4003 Web
ster street. One of the hind wheels strucl
another buggy that was standing near th
curb. The collision frightened the horse
which started to run , and the sudden Jcrl
with the wheels of the buggy catching li
tlia street car tracks threw Mrs. Edgerto :
out. She was carried to a grocery store a
Thirty-sixth and Farnam streets , where Di
Towne attended her. Judge Edgerton wa
passing In a car shortly after the acclden
occurred and accompanied his wife home.
Shortly ifter 5 o'clock last night a hors
attached to a buggy In which John L , Ken
nedy and his mother-in-law , Mrs. Day , wer
seated started to run away at Forty-lira
and Farnam streets. Mr. Kennedy and Mr1

FROM BROTHEL TO CONVENT
Blxtcon-Vcnr-Olil ( ilrl Taken from Evil
Surrounding * .
Yesterday afternoon a 10-year-old girl
named Cora Ollmore was taken out of a
house of III fa mo and placed by Matron
Cummlngs In the Homo of the Good Shep
herd. The girl was found through a letter
written by her grandmother , Mrs. M. J. Gilmore -
more of Bonaparte , la. , to the mayor. In It
Mrs. Gllmore said that the girl was an or
phan and that she had raised her. Last Sep
tember she went to DCS Molncs with the
Intention ot obtaining work , and remained
there until March 1 , when she came to this
city. Mrs. Gllmoro recently received a letter
from her , In which she stated that she was
working as a clerk and was boarding and
rooming at 120 North Ninth street. In an
swer to a letter of Inquiry , Mrs. Gllmore
was Informed that the address was that of
a house of prostitution , and that the girl
was living there. Mrs. Gllmoro gave the
mayor power to remover her and place her
In the convent.
The girl admits that during the greater
ipart of the past year she has lived a life of
shame. While here she was with Minnie
Fair-child and "Buck" Tremalne , and Matron
Cummlngs expresses the Intention of prose
cuting these women for harboring the girl.
"llumpty Dumpty , Up to Date1 la easily
one of the great theatrical successes of the
year , combining1 , as It Joes , all the features
of burlesque , exravaganzu , farce nnd comic
opera. Its Initial production In Omaha last
night nt lioyd's theater called out an en
thusiastic audience , and the clever little
people who weie been hete last In "The
I'upll In Magic" have even stronger roles
than In that bright bit of satire from the
German which served as the vehicle to
make known the Lilliputians In the west ,
In Its mounting , In Its clever dialogue and
Interesting plot , and In the perfection ol
ensemble , "Huinpty Duinpty" with Its mod
ern Investiture surpasses any stage per
formance seen here this season , viewed
from a. spectacular standpoint , "Alladln ,
Jr , " only rivaling It In the sumptuousnesf
ot Its stage settings. Robert Itreltenbacr
Is responsible- the book , the libretto be
ing arranged by Messrs. Hoffman ani
Gabriel , who have chosen with excellent
discernment not. only music of famous composers -
posers , but have written many bright
catchy comedies to accompany the text.
While the parts are taken with splemdlt
ability by the little folks , who are becomltu
an Integral part of American stage Jlfe , th !
airangement of the ballets , the trick seen
cry , and the perfect costuming combine
to make this production a. notable one
The chorus Is large and thoroughly em
clent , the LJIHputians Introduce a host o :
new specialties , and the old favorites nmonj
them were received with that wnrmtt
of appreciation that showed the hole
they had upon the audience. Fran :

though Adolph Zlnk has a decld
edly happy part , that of the blacksmith' !
apprentice , which he plays with 'an unc
tuousness that Is Irresistible. Belma Goer

the role , while Ludwlg Merkel Is as cleve ;
an Itlshman as has been seen on the stage
With three feet added to his stature , ni

excellence of their work. Herrmnn Hlnj
made a most comical side light as 1'nntalooi
to the versatile Ehert , who was still 1'uck

WE'VE ' CHANGED OUR JI1NDS
Our Own Stock Added to the Stern Pnrohaso
to Make Saturday a Bed Letter Day ,
OLD PRICES IN BLACK-NEW PRICES IN RED
to Have i Halo Hutnrclny That Will
lie the lilgceit One and the Most
Opportune Onn Ever Held
In Uninlm.
We've changed our minds.
We announced In yesterday's paper that
we would cell the Michael Stern stock of
clothing next Saturday.
That's not all we're going to do.
It must bo a red letter day , and to make
It co we will also place on sale Saturday
our entire stock ot spring suits and over
coats ( or men and boys
AT HALF PIIICB AND LESS.
All the old prices will remain In black ,
while the new prices will be In red , so that
you can easily recognize the enormous cut
wo are making to assure Saturday's being
the reddest letter dny In clothing annals.
On account ot the great amount of labor
necessary with such a stupendous under
taking as this , \\e will be compelled to close
up at noon Friday. Every suit In the house ,
no matter what the former price or how
good a seller , will bo put In this sale to go
at half price or less , You remember what
a stampede we created at the tall end of
wjnter with our great heavy suit sale per
haps you were locked out. Don't delude
yourself Into the Idea that there'll be plenty
of show this time , for all previous efforts
on our part will pale Into Insignificance In
comparison with this sale a sale of light
weight suits at half pries and less , Just when
you want a light weight cult.
It will bo the gladdest moment of your
life when you capture one of these suits , every
one the quintessence of merit and economy ,
and Including every light weight suit In the
house , nothing reserved , everything goes ,
and with a rush , as you will realize when
you see the prices tomorrow.
One thing more this Is no broken lot
sale. The stock Is all fresh and new , every
style , every size Is represented.
Sale begins Saturday morning we close at
noon Friday.

BOARD OF fcEALTU MEETING
J unl DUroKilon Atodit 1'roippctlto Deficit
llrport onllMimplnn Isulnnnop.
At every meeting ) erf the Board of Health
Commissioner Savlllri. submits a report ot
ho amount lelt In the health fund , This In-
rarlably calls forth'the Information that at
he present rate ofi expenditure the balance
will bo exhausted tncouple of months before
he end of the year. Then follows a general
llscusslon of wnysihnd means of economy'In
which all membertrnpatUclpate at once , and
which Is finally cnital by deciding to post
pone the cutting -down of the force until
some time In the trammer , when the spring
cleaning up Is completed. The debate on the
question yesterday was exactly similar to
that which has occurred at nearly every
meeting this year , and ended In the same
way. Dr. Savllle Is thinking of having the
expressions of the members printed In order
to avoid the necessity for their repetition
every time the matter Is called up.
After the heads of the Inspectors had
again been temporarily saved the report of
the Inspectors who were detailed to Investi
gate the charges of dumping garbage In the
city limits was read. Inspectors Tyler and
Vanderford spent ten days on the case , and
their report Indicated that manure and ref
use were being dumped promiscuously In
several parts of the city. A great deal of
garbage was being dumped at Seventh and
Paul streets , and alto at the Intersection ot
Grace street and the Iowa line. They as
serted that the garbage men were making a
regular business of dumping their loads Just
over the Ion a line , whore the Omaha olllclals
wore powerless to arrest them. A grsat deal
of manure was also being durriped at the
Poppleton avenue dump and In one or two
other places In the city. They had suc
ceeded In detecting a number of the offend
ers , and they had been fined $1 each In
police court. They also reported that E. A.
Benson had been pumping out a cess pool
at Forty-fourth ami Dodge streets and run
ning the contents on the premises of his
neighbors. He was also arrested , and his
case was set for trial In police court today.
In this connection the council resolution
requesting the board to detail an Inspector
to Investigate these complaints was read
and a resolution was passed asking the coun
cil to give the board $1,200 with which to
hire special Intpectors to carry on the work.
It was claimed that the present force was
totally Inadequate to detect these offsmlers.
The usual monthly reports were read and
placed on file.
ANOTHER BOUNCE IS ORDERED.
Hlsliop llonacnm Orders rather Murphy of
Teourmcli to Vacute ,
Following closely on the oftler of Bishop
Bonacum 10 Hev. D. O. Fitzgerald of South
Auburn , dispensing with his services In the
diocese on and after July 1 a similar docu
ment was placed In the hands of Father
Murphy of Tecumseh. Both documents were
In the bishop's handwriting , and were deliv
ered by him in person. Father Murphy re
ceived his orders to move on Saturday last ,
and are of similar tenor to those.received by
Father Fitzgerald. The main reason given
for. removal is "disobedience to my author
ity. "
Father Murphy has notified the bishop that
his order of dismissal Is Invalid In law , and
will take no notice of it.
Father Murphy has laborcl In Nebraska
for eleven years , having served on various
missions In the state prior to the division
of the state Into two dioceses and the com
ing of Bishop Bonacum. Ho Is a zealous ,
forceful and effective worker , who has given
the best years ot his llfo to ministering tc
the spiritual wants of the people committed
to his charge. Ho Is now in the autumn ol
life , but his aggressive spirit when aroused
shows no lack of youthful combataliveness.
Fathers Fltzgeiald and Murphy arc the
fighting remnants bf the St. Bernard's union ,
composed of priests ot the Lincoln diocese
banded together to prosecute the famous
charges against the bishop. Father Corbett
Is pursuing his studies in the Catholic uni
versity in Washington , Father English Is
stationed In Omaha , Fathers Fitzgerald and
Murphy are under orders to go. The re
mainder of the dozen , or some of them , at
least , will , it is expected , receive episcopal
attention in duo time.

GAVE IN 1895 A SUPPER
Newspapers and Bootblacks Entertained by the Salvation Army.
Last night some fifty of the prominent members of the newsboy and bootblack circles of the city partook of a supper at the Salvation Army barracks that had been prepared for them by the soldiers. The spread was wholesome and bountiful, good homemade articles, and everything passed off smoothly with the exception of some exhibitions of the innate deviltry that dwells within bodies " of the "professionals."
After they had taken off the sharp edge of their appetites, they began to throw bread and biscuits across the tables at each other, and this ceased only after a dozen had been thrown bodily out of the hall.
At the conclusion of the supper, those who remained attended to a brief service of song, prayer, and speaking, the latter being given by Captain Austin Chapman. The boys kept pretty quiet, chiefly through the threat that they would get no oranges or bananas after the service if they did not behave. In the middle of the service the first contingent that had been thrown from the hall gathered together several mouth organs and began to play jigs, which set the feet of a majority of the worshippers to moving. Not more than one boy, however, was thrown out even three minutes. After the service was over a rush was made for the door, where the oranges and bananas were distributed. The first twenty or twenty-five boys got four or five apiece, the rest none.
The idea of giving the supper originated with Captain Chapman, who in this way hoped to get acquainted with the boys and perhaps later induce some of them to attend services at the barracks. Children's meetings are held every Tuesday night, and also Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and some of the boys promised to attend one or the other of these.
HURT IN A RUNAWAY.
Mrs. Judge Kilgerten thrown from a buggy severely injured.
Last night shortly before 5 o'clock, Mrs. C. W. Edgerton, the wife of Judge Edgerton, was violently thrown from a buggy on Farm Street between Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth streets. She was bruised on the left side of her face and it is thought that one of her ribs on the left side is broken. It was impossible to tell last night whether she was injured internally, but it was feared that she was. She was taken to her home, 4003 Webster Street. One of the hind wheels struck another buggy that was standing near the curb. The collision frightened the horse, which started to run, and the sudden jerk with the wheels of the buggy catching in the streetcar tracks threw Mrs. Edgerton out. She was carried to a grocery store at Thirty-sixth and Farnam streets, where Dr. Towne attended her. Judge Edgerton was passing in a car shortly after the accident occurred and accompanied his wife home.
Shortly after 5 o'clock last night a horse attached to a buggy in which John L. Kennedy and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Day, were seated started to run away at Forty-sixth and Farnam streets. Mr. Kennedy and Mrs. Day succeeded in jumping from the buggy without injury. The buggy was ruined and the horse when last seen was going at a fast clip on Tenth Street.
Annual Election Officers.
The Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States of the commandery in Nebraska held a meeting last evening in the parlors of the Mercer Hotel and elected officers for the ensuing year: Commander, Major Anselmer, Lincoln; Senior Vice Commander, J. R. Manchester. Junior Vice Commander: T. S. Clarkson, Recorder. In place of Major Bullington, who refused the office again on account of ill health; F. H. Lavonne, Register; William Wallace, Treasurer, and C. H. Frederick, Chancellor. J. I. Hoover, C. A. Abbott, J. T. Thompson, George H. Palmer, and T. Swobe were elected to the council. This was the second or the legion's quarterly sessions, and was well attended. At the conclusion of a business session, the legion partook of a baronet in the Mercer parlors.
Planned Methodist Semi-Annual Union.
The pleasant custom of holding semi-annual reunions, which was inaugurated some time ago by the First Methodist Church of this city, was again observed last evening in the basement of the church, with members of the congregation and their friends, who passed a most enjoyable evening in improving their mutual acquaintance. No program was rendered, but the occasional selections by the Young Ladies' orchestra served as an agreeable background to the evening's entertainment. Later in the evening light refreshments were served, and the season of good fellowship left the most pleasant recollections.

Home Over for Theater. |
Sam Carter, who was arrested last Saturday on the charge of violating the garbage ordinance, but against whom the charge of burglary was placed later, was yesterday bound over to the district court on the latter charge in the sum of $600. When Carter was searched after his arrest, a quantity of jewelry that was stolen from a residence on Burl Street a month ago was found on him. He explained his possession of the jewelry by saying that he found some of it and bought the rest.

FROM BROTHERHOOD TO CONVENT
Bixcón-Vear-Girl Taken from Evil
Surroundings.
Yesterday afternoon a 10-year-old girl
named Cora Ollmore was taken out of a
house of ill fame and placed by Matron
Cummins in the Home of the Good Shepherd. The girl was found through a letter
written by her grandmother, Mrs. M. J. Gilmore of Bonaparte, la., to the mayor. In It
Mrs. Gilmore said that the girl was an orphan and that she had raised her. Last September she went to Davenport with the
Intention of obtaining work, and remained
there until March 1, when she came to this
city. Mrs. Gilmore recently received a letter
from her, In which she stated that she was
working as a clerk and was boarding and
rooming at 120 North Ninth street. In an
answer to a letter of Inquiry, Mrs. Gilmore
was Informed that the address was that of
a house of prostitution, and that the girl
was living there. Mrs. Gilmore gave the
mayor power to remove her and place her
In the convent.
The girl admits that during the greater
part of the past year she has lived a life of
shame. While here she was with Minnie
Fairchild and "Buck" Tremaine, and Matron
Cummins expresses the Intention of prosecuting
these women for harboring the girl.
"Humpty Dumpty, Up to Date" is easily
one of the great theatrical successes of the
year, combining, as it does, all the features
of burlesque, extravagance, farce, and comic
opera. Its initial production in Omaha last
night at Hoyd's theater called out an enthusiastic audience,
and the clever little people who were here last in "The
Puppet in Magic" have even stronger roles
than in that bright bit of satire from the
German which served as the vehicle to
make known the Lilliputians in the west,
In its mounting, in its clever dialogue and
interesting plot, and in the perfection of
ensemble, "Humpty Dumpty" with its modern
Investiture surpasses any stage performance
seen here this season, viewed
from a spectacular standpoint, "Alladin,
Jr.," only rivaling it in the sumptuousness
of its stage settings. Robert Kreistenbach
is responsible for the book, the libretto being
arranged by Messrs. Hoffman and
Gabriel, who have chosen with excellent
discernment not only music of famous composers,
but have written many bright, catchy comedies to accompany the text.
While the parts are taken with splendid
ability by the little folks, who are becoming
an integral part of American stage life,
the arrangement of the ballets, the trick scenes,
and the perfect costuming combine
to make this production a notable one.
The chorus is large and thoroughly competent,
the Lilliputians introduce a host of new
specialties, and the old favorites among
them were received with that warmth of
appreciation that showed the hold they had
upon the audience. Franz Ebert, as Humpty
Dumpty, continues
the leading spirit of the Lilliputians,
although Adolph Zink has a decidedly happy part,
that of the blacksmith's apprentice, which he plays with an
unctuousness that is irresistible. Berta Goerner,
as Helke, displays strong ability in the role,
while Ludwig Merkel is as clever
an Englishman as has been seen on the stage
With three feet added to his stature,
he would be giving Gerhardt pointers, not only in
character make-up, but in the manner of
elaborating the character of a young tough.
Ida Mahr, as Preciosa, and Elsie Kau, as
Old Kunstler, afterward the Fairy Gloriosa,
were in touch with the extravaganza, and won
many expressions of delight over the excellence of their work. Hermann Hing
made a most comical sidekick as Pantaloon
to the versatile Ebert, who was still Punch
though wearing the livery of Humpty.
Several of the ballets were decidedly new
and novel, and the finale of the third act
has never been excelled on the local stage
the ingenious arrangement of colored paper
falling in cobwebby effect upon the little
actors calling out tumultuous applause,
the curtain having to be raised a half dozen
times on the effective picture.
As usual, the calcium lights played
strange tricks, to the everlasting rage
of the stage manager, not only in the failure
of the limelight to properly fulfill its
mission, but in minor incidents connected
with the performance.
As for Knebel, he is the biggest man
the writer ever saw, standing nearly nine feet
and weighing almost 600 pounds. While he
does not profess to be an artist, he can
easily command attention by his great size.

WE'VE CHANGED OUR MINDS
Our Own Stock Added to the Stern Purchase
to Make Saturday a Better Day,
OLD PRICES IN BLACK - NEW PRICES IN RED
to Have a Sale on Saturday That Will
be the biggest One and the Most
Opportune Onr Ever Held
In Omaha.
We've changed our minds.
We announced in yesterday's paper that
we would sell the Michael Stern stock of
clothing next Saturday.
That's not all we're going to do.
It must be a red letter day, and to make it so, we will also place on sale Saturday our entire stock of spring suits and overcoats for men and boys at half price and less. All the old prices will remain in black, while the new prices will be in red, so that you can easily recognize the enormous cut we are making to assure Saturday's being the reddest letter day in clothing annals. On account of the great amount of labor necessary with such a stupendous undertaking as this, we will be compelled to close up at noon Friday. Every suit in the house, no matter what the former price or how good a seller, will be put in this sale to go at half price or less. You remember what a stampede we created at the end of winter with our great heavy suit sale; perhaps you were locked out. Don't delude yourself into the idea that there'll be plenty of show this time, for all previous efforts on our part will pale into insignificance in comparison with this sale—a sale of lightweight suits at half price and less, just when you want a lightweight suit. It will be the gladdest moment of your life when you capture one of these suits, every one the quintessence of merit and economy, and including every lightweight suit in the house, nothing reserved, everything goes, and with a rush, as you will realize when you see the prices tomorrow.
One thing more: this is no broken lot sale. The stock is all fresh and new, every style, every size is represented. Sale begins Saturday morning; we close at noon Friday.

FORCED THURSTON'S NAME.
Stronger than $8,000 from the Columbia National of Lincoln.
On April 6, a check in the Omaha National bank for $1,000, purporting to be signed by John M. Thurston and drawn to the order of William M. Geddes, was presented by a stranger to the paying teller of the Columbia National bank at Lincoln. The teller, Joseph Biggar, informed the stranger that he was not familiar with the signatures of Mr. Thurston and Mr. Geddes, and asked him to get some city endorsement. He asked Judge J. H. Broady would be acceptable, to which Biggar replied that he would. The stranger went away and soon returned with the check endorsed by Broady and it was cashed. It came into the Omaha clearing house on March 8 and was declared to be a forgery. The check was dated March 28. Since that time the stranger, who is described as being well dressed and with a businesslike air, has not been located. W. M. Geddes is mayor of Grand Island, and was chief clerk of the house of representatives during the last session of the legislature. The whole matter was kept a profound secret until yesterday. The check is endorsed as follows: "W. M. Geddes. This is O. K. J. A. Foley J. H. Broady."
The Broughal Discharged.
Pat C. Broughal, who was arrested several days ago on a warrant sworn out by the proprietors of the Adams Furniture company, charging him with the embezzlement of $75, was dismissed yesterday afternoon because the complainants did not appear to prosecute.
John Lingers Seeking a Divorce.
LONDON, May 1. John R. Rogers, the theatrical manager, has filed a petition for divorce from his wife, Minnie Palmer, on the grounds of adultery with a man named Jorrad, manager of a theatrical company. The suit, which is not defended, is proceeding.
BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING
July Regular Meeting Reports Deficit
At every meeting of the Board of Health, Commissioner Saville submits a report of the amount left in the health fund. This inevitably calls forth the information that at the present rate of expenditure, the balance will be exhausted a couple of months before the end of the year. Then follows a general discussion of ways and means of economy in which all members participate at once, and which is finally settled by deciding to postpone the cutting down of the force until some time in the summer, when the spring cleaning is completed. The debate on the question yesterday was exactly similar to that which has occurred at nearly every meeting this year, and ended in the same way. Dr. Saville is thinking of having the expressions of the members printed in order to avoid the necessity for their repetition every time the matter is called up.
After the heads of the inspectors had again been temporarily saved, the report of the inspectors who were detailed to investigate the charges of dumping garbage in the city limits was read. Inspectors Tyler and Vanderford spent ten days on the case, and their report indicated that manure and refuse were being dumped promiscuously in several parts of the city. A great deal of garbage was being dumped at Seventh and Paul streets, and also at the intersection of Grace street and the Iowa line. They asserted that the garbage men were making a regular business of dumping their loads just over the city line, where the Omaha officials were powerless to arrest them. A great deal of manure was also being dumped at the Poppleton avenue dump and in one or two other places in the city. They had succeeded in detecting a number of the offenders, and they had been fined $1 each in police court. They also reported that E. A. Benson had been pumping out a cesspool at Forty-fourth and Dodge streets and running the contents on the premises of his neighbors. He was also arrested, and his case was set for trial in police court today.
In this connection, the city council resolution requesting the board to detail an inspector to investigate these complaints was read and a resolution was passed asking the council to give the board $1,200 with which to hire special inspectors to carry on the work. It was claimed that the present force was totally inadequate to detect these offenders.
The usual monthly reports were read and placed on file.
ANOTHER BOUNCE IS ORDERED.
His Lordship Bonacum Orders Father Murphy of Tecumseh to Vacate,
Following closely on the offer of Bishop Bonacum to Rev. D. O. Fitzgerald of South Auburn, dispensing with his services in the diocese on and after July 1, a similar document was placed in the hands of Father Murphy of Tecumseh. Both documents were in the bishop's handwriting, and were delivered by him in person. Father Murphy received his orders to move on Saturday last, and are of similar tenor to those received by Father Fitzgerald. The main reason given for removal is "disobedience to my authority."
Father Murphy has notified the bishop that his order of dismissal is invalid in law, and will take no notice of it.
Father Murphy has labored in Nebraska for eleven years, having served on various missions in the state prior to the division of the state into two dioceses and the coming of Bishop Bonacum. He is a zealous, forceful, and effective worker, who has given the best years of his life to ministering to the spiritual needs of the people committed to his charge. He is now in the autumn of life, but his aggressive spirit, when aroused, shows no lack of youthful combativeness. Fathers FitzGerald and Murphy are the fighting remnants of the St. Bernard's union, composed of priests of the Lincoln diocese banded together to prosecute the famous charges against the bishop. Father Corbett is pursuing his studies in the Catholic university in Washington, Father English is stationed in Omaha, Fathers Fitzgerald and Murphy are under orders to go. The remainder of the dozen, or some of them, at least, will, it is expected, receive episcopal attention in due time.
On a Better Footing.
The various fair associations heretofore existing in Omaha have consolidated forces and united in forming a new corporation styling itself the Omaha Fair and Specialel association. The corporation filed its articles with the county clerk late yesterday afternoon, stating that its general object is to obtain the control of property for the purpose of furthering the holding of the state fair in Omaha. The capital stock of this new amalgamated concern is placed at $150,000, and is divided into 600 shares. The authorized indebtedness cannot exceed two-thirds of the value of the capital stock. The association starts out with this list of directors: Z. T. Lindsey, Dan Farrell, Jr., William Krug, W. R. Bennett, Frank D. Brown, George D. Kelley, O. N. Hicks, J. O. Baum, John A. Wakefield, Oscar J. Prichard, and C. S. Montgomery. The headquarters of the corporation, like the fair, remain in Omaha.
Steams' Electric Paste rids your house of bugs, fleas, and other vermin; 25c.
In the house. How often you hear that old saying! Where else would you expect a person to die? You wouldn't expect a sick person to get up and go out of doors to die, when there was a nice house, with all the modern conveniences right at hand to die in, would you? And still there are lots of folks that do a die in the house, before there is any reason for them to die at all. Haven't you seen friends of yours just waste right away, almost under your own eyes, when it did seem as if there could have been something done to stay the dread disease? The doctor called it Consumption, probably. May be it was a hard cold at first, and a gradual decline. A good doctor says in such a case, Ozomulsion won't bring a man back from the cemetery, but it has prevented many a man and many a woman from going there. Are you on your way? Are you beginning to get tired out? Getting so that good things don't taste good anymore? Getting worried? Getting so you cough every day, and lots of nights? Want to get hungry? Want to have things taste good? Want to eat and enjoy it? Try Ozomulsion. It costs a dollar to try a bottle. May be it won't help you. More likely it will. You'd give a dollar to be better, wouldn't you? And you'd give more than a dollar to get well, probably. This cake from men get plumper and more beautiful on Ozomulsion.
Most all druggists sell Ozomulsion. Ozomulsion Cures Colds, Coughs, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, and you can get it of T. A. Slocum Co., 183 Pearl Street, New York City, for General Debility, Loss of Flesh, Anemia, and all Wasting Diseases.

Absolute Proof of the Merits of
RAIN WATER MAKER
Possesses
This certain proportion will soften the hardest of water, making all water soft and velvety. It will hold colored goods, such as calico and colored wool, from shrinking or fading; Woolens and linens washed with water prepared with Rain Water Maker will positively not shrink, leaving them white and soft and increasing their durability. It will also keep stains from coming out of water. For the bath or toilet it is indispensable, making the water soft and pliable, increasing the action of soap and giving the skin a healthful glow, thereby facilitating the soap to remove any superfluous excretion that may adhere to the body.
For dishes and general washing purposes it is very essential, as it saves both labor and soap.
This preparation is not to be confused with soap powder, as it contains no soap, lye, ammonia, lime, or any deleterious ingredients. It is not a greasy preparation whatsoever.
It in Water Maker, in the true sense of the word, is for preparing water so that it may have a strong affinity for soap.
Listen to what experts have to say about it:
THE PREPARATION I SAW
Mrs. H. C. Cady, who resides at 846 Kyner Street, was seen and said, in substance:
"Kirk's Rain Water Maker is the finest thing I have ever used. It is beyond a doubt, in my estimation, the best preparation that I ever saw. It makes the water very soft and the clothes pretty and white. Rain Water Maker has no bad effects on the hands, and I can only say that I am pleased to recommend it to everybody. "
RAIN WATER MAKER IS QUITE SUPERIOR.
Mrs. Jas. Price of 1813 Izard Street has used Kirk's Rain Water Maker and remarked to a reporter that she thought Rain Water Maker a great preparation. She said:
"I use well water, which is very hard, and with all the preparations that I have tried for breaking water, Kirk's Rain Water Maker is quite superior to anything else. I am more than pleased with it; it makes the clothes soft and white. I must say that I can cheerfully recommend it. "
IS IT JUST THE THING?
Mrs. H. R. Thompson was seen at her home, 1222 Sherman Avenue, and said:
"The test I gave Kirk's Rain Water Maker was quite satisfactory, and I am sure it is just the thing that is wanted for the purpose for which it is used. My husband uses it for removing oil and grease from his hands and it does the work better than any preparation that he has ever tried, and leaves his hands in much better condition. "

SOME TICKLISH POINTS TO SETTLE YET
Question of D.itniiROii to IlrltUh Subjects
Other Thnti Consul Hutch mi it the
I'rotcclornto Over the
ItciioMittlriii.
WASHINGTON , May 2. The Department
of State haa received this afternoon a tele
Ei-am from Ambassador Bayard at London
mating that Great Britain has accepted the
guarantee made by Salvador of Ihe payment
of the Indemnity by Nicaragua in London
within a fortnight , and so soon as Nicaragua
confirms the arangetnent and so Informs the
British admiral , the admiral Is Instrucled lo
leave Corlnlo.
The above official slatement , given out at
the Slale department after I o'clock this
afternoon , may be regarded as passing1 the
aculo slage of Ihe dllllcully bclween Great
Britain und Nicaragua , which at one time
threatened to Involve the United Slates. H
cannot bo doubted that Nicaragua wll
promptly confirm the arrangements nnd the
British fleet will leave Nicaragua as soon as
the action of the British foreign office can
be communicated lo Admiral Slephenson
which , by Ihe way , might be sooner had not
the Nlcaraguans purposely Interrupted Ihe
corhmunlcalton by cable. The guarantee by
Salvador of Nicaragua's Indebtedness , It Is
said , Is simply repayment of the favor ex
tended to Salvador by Nicaragua at the tl-ne
of the Ezcta Incident , when Dr. Guzman , Ihe
Nlcaraguan mlnlslcr at Washington , look up
the case of Salvador by Instrucllons of his
own government and worked so hard to se
cure the cxlradlllon of Ihe refugees to Sal
vador. In aUdlllon lo Ihls consideration
based on gratllude , the Salvadoreans an
supposed to be Influenced In espousing tl.i
Nlcaraguan cause by n feeling of apprehcn
nlon at the presence of British trcops on
Cenlral American soil. It Is quite cortal
lhat all of the countries of Central Amcrlc
have been deeply Impressed with some
fear.
CENTRAL AMERICAN UNION REVIVED
It Is felt here that the Nlcaraguan Inclden
may , perhaps , be Ihe dlrccl means of bring
Ing about again the long expected revival o
the union cf Central American republics , Ih
small republics now existing having bee
brought to a rcallzallon of their Inablllly o
prelecting themselves In a conflict Alth an
considerable power. Allhough U may be as
turned lhat Ihe acute phase of the Nicaragua
Incident has passed , supposing thai ther
should be no hosllle collision before the for
inal orders have reached the commanders o
each side , there are yet some malljrs t
bo adjusted before Iho Incident can be re
garded as entirely closed. After the settle
mcnt of the "smarl money" claim on accoun
of Hatch , a commission must bo selected on
proceed lo adjust the claims of other Biltls
subjects , not officials , who were expelled fioi
Bluellelds last summer , and If this com
mission assesses damages against Nlc.U'agu
on this score there may bo some giumblln
before Iho account Is selllcd. This Is no
likely lo lead lo serious Irouble , bul In
Nlcaraguans , smorllng under a sense of op
pression , for they declare that Hatch never
had an excquator , and so was never recog
nized by them as a British official , may be
, counted upon to do everything they can ,
" 4 without giving cause for an cpcn rupture , lo
give Ihelr patronage in the future to other
countries than Great Britain.
THORN AMONG THE ROSES.
It Is Just within Ihe bounds of posslblllly ,
too , that the old question of British rights
in the Mosquito reservation may arlso at
some future day , for It Is recalled hero that
General Barrios , who went to London as
special commlteloner to come to an under
standing wllh Grcal Brllaln on Ihls subject
and to secure a revision of the Ircaly wllh
Nicaragua by which Ihe Brlllsh rlghl ot pro
tectorate over tire reservation was recognlzeJ ,
was mot by a polite refusal by Lord Kimberly -
berly to enter upon a discussion of the sub
ject until Nicaragua had ilrH adjusted the
claims growing out of the improper treatment
of British cillzens al Blueflelds. Thus the
subject was left In abeyance , though It It
should arlso again It Is probable that the
United States would this tlmo side with
Nicaragua In the contonllon lhat theMes -
, , qultos , by formal acl in convenlion lasl tum-
vl mcr In merging Ihelr territory Into Ihe body
pollllo on Nicaragua , had absolutely termln-
i ated the British protectorate. The British
i diplomatic officers uniformly fo low the prac
tice of keeping their home government In
formed as to the state of public opinion In
the country to which they were accredlled
on any Issue touching that country , as
shown by public declarations and ut
terances of leading newspape-s. Whllo It
has been suggested that the foreign olllco In
the case of Nicaragua may have been somewhat -
what Influenced In this last action In closing
up Ihe caio , or at least may have been has
tened In Us disposition by notice from the
British ambassador hero of the acllon yes-
lorduy of Ihe Now York assembly , It
waa defln.tely developed when Iho offi
cial announcement of Ihe agreement was
made thai Ihe Unlled Slates had taken a
very Imporlant pan In Ihe negotiations within : J
the last twenty-four hours. A cablegram of
inslrucllons was sent to Mr. Ba > ard , laying
down a positive line of action. Mr. Bayard
received these Instrucllons so late ycslcrJay
lhat they were undoubledly communicated lethe
the foreign ofllce today. It Is a significant
coincidence therefore thai Grcal Britain's ac
ceptance was given almost Immediately after
Mr. Bayard carried out his Instructions.
BAYARD'S TALK EFFECTIVE.
Previous to yesterday the compromise was
being pushed by the Salvadorean' minister In
London , but his efforts seemed to bo Ineffec
tive and there was no ccrlalnty thai Great t
Britain would agree. It was this doubt '
which led lo the cable lo Mr. Bayard. Ho
was directed lo urge Iho reasonableness of
the compromise proposition and seek an early
acceptance. The results proved thai his
efforts were more effective- than there of the
Salvadorean minister.
Mr. Guzman , the NIcaMguan minister
here , received the news from the Stale de-
parlmcnt late In Iho day. "I am much grat
ified wllh Iho news , " said he , "but now that
It U all over I don't mind saying I was quite
apprehensive up ta the time the olllclal mes
sage came from Mr. Bayard. There Is no
doubt but the affair Is at an end , as no cir
cumstances can now Intervene to prevent
the execution ol the agreement. The sug
gestion that Nicaragua has yet to accept U
a mere formality which she ha already ac
cepted , and In fact has urged the agree
ment through her reprcsentatl\ci. But sucti
further assurances as are necessary will be
given. The payment of the money Is beyond
question. Nicaragua's word Is heyoni ques
tion , Lut In addition there Is the assurance
ot Salvador. "
Dr. Guzman was asked what other step :
would bo laken.
"Thero Is only ono more step , " r ! d he
"and that ti for the British hlps to sail from
Corlnto. I expect thai will occur on Satur
day , rerhars by tomorrow. " As the later
view closed Dr. Guzman said : "One "
J want to einphaflie , and thit Is my apprecla-
tUm of tlTe CuimderaUon thowu Tno and mj
government ly the State department. Th <
kindly manner In which Secretary drofhan
and ajl the ofilcials have treated the tubjeci

MANAGUA , May 2. ( Via Galvcston. ) Ad
vices received here from the commander of
the Nlcnraguan forces at Paso de Cabcllo , a
short distance from Corlnto , this morning
say that so' far as known at the
Nlcaraguan headquarters the British force
under Rear Admiral Stephenson has not
made any further dcmonstrallon beyond re
moving Iho rails from Ihe national rallroait
communicating with Corlnto , In order , It Is
presumed , to guard against a surprise upon
the part of the troops of the republic. The
latter are animated by feelings of the most
hitler animosity against Great Brllaln and
tliey are being asked lo be led lo Ihe at
tack.
tack.H
H Is eald , however , Ihal there will be no
further trouble , an It Is known from the
highest sources that the government of Nic
aragua is expecting news from Washington
at once of a settlement of the dispute be
tween Nicaragua and Grrfit Ilrllaln
regarding the Indemnity demanded by
the latter country as the result of the
ixpulslon from the republic of certain Brit
sh subjects who had made themselves ob
noxious to the government.
Although the British forces have nol made
any attempt to leave Corlnto for the Interior
f Nicaragua , the manner In which Ihe Brll-
sh governor of Corlnlo , Caplaln Trench of
he flagship Hoyal Arlhur , Irealed Iwo pronv
nenl Nlcaraguans yeslcrday Is well calcu
.aled to still furlher Increase Ihe feeling
against Great Britain. The two gentlemen
alluded to , belonging to the leading families
of Nicaragua , were detailed by the govern-
nent to make certain communications lo Ihe
British governor , and with Ihls objecl In
view Ihey succteded In crossing from Ihe
mainland to Corlnto , where Ihey made Ihelr
way lo Ihe olllce of the Italian consul. Upon
arriving there they tent a messenger to
Captain Trench Informing him thai Ihey de
sired to confer with him as the represenla-
tlve of Admiral Stephenson In regard to cer
tain matters ot Importance connected wltli
Ihe British occupantlon of Corlnto.
The object of the Nlcaraguans In requestIng -
Ing thai Ihe Interview take place at the ofllce
of the Italian consul was lhat they desired to
avoid officially recognizing Captain Trench as
governor of Corlnto. The British office
however , refused to go to the office of the
Italian consul and Informed them thai 1'
they desired to see Ihe governor of Corlnlo
Ihey were to come to his ( Captain Trench's )
office. This the Nlcaraguans refused to do
and when the British captain was notified
of this fact he Bent Ihem a message ordering
Ihom lo leave the Island Instanlly , under tin
penally of being driven oul by force. Tin
objsct of this visit of the Nicaraguan official ;
to Caplaln Trench Is not known here.

LONDON , May 2. The parliamentary sec

replying to Mr. William Pollard Byles , mem
bcr for the Shipley division of Yorkshire , 1
the House of Commons today , said that th
proposal of Nicaragua to refer all dispute
between that country and Great Britain to
commission of arbitration was received Apr
11 , but , ho added , when the papers are sub
milled to Parliament it will bo seen lha
It was not a case for arbitration. Mr. Byle
also asked whether the United States ha
teuJercd her good offices or suggested terms
for an amicable settlement with Nicaragua.
To this question SIj * Edward Grey answereJ
thai no such proposal had boon received from
the United States government. He hoped ,
however , that a settlement would teen be
arranged.
The dispute between Great Brlfaln and
Nicaragua , the Associated press learns , will

GUTHHIE , Okl. , May 2. At Spengle's un
dertaking house In this city He- the bodies of
the two most notorious desperadoes of the
Dallon-Doolln gang. The dead men stretched
out on boards are George Ncwcomb , alias
Dltter Creek , alias Slaughter Kid , and Char
ley Pierce , alias Dynamite Dick. The ad
vent ot the officers with the remains of the
outlaws was a complete surprise to the com
munity , es no one had been apprised of the
fact that the banlllts were being pursued ,
much less' that there had been a fight , and
that two of them had been killed. They were
brought In Just as when killed , In full clothes ,
with their boots and spurs on and armed to
the teeth. Uesldes rifles each had a revolver
apiece and bells of cartridges for both Instru
ments of death. As their clothing was cut
off their bodies It was seen that Dynamite
Dick had at least thirty buckshot In him ,
while two rifle balls let the life out ot Bitter
Creek. Dynamite Ulck was shot all over ,
but mostly In the right shoulder and side , al
though he had fully six shot in his stomach
and as many In ono foot. One of his eyes
were open , as though he had been In the act
of taking a sight along a rifle. One bullet
struck Ultter Creek In the forehead and tore
out his brains at the back of his bead , and
the other hit his hand as he was pulling the
trigger.
Marshal Nix does not want to say much
about the killing , as the marshals who did
the work are still after other men. The out
laws were killed at the southeast corner of
Pawnee county at the house of the Dunn
brothers , near Ingalls , the old rendeyvous of
the outlaws , by Deputy Marshal Sam Schaffer
at the head of six other marshals. The ban
dits went to Dunn's house about 8 o'clock
last evening. It being moonlight , they were
easily seen , and Dynamite Dick was killed
outright , being filled full of buckshot.
Dltter Creek made a fight and two rifle
balls felled him oft his horse before he could
pull tbe trigger of his gun. The two men
killed ore a part of the gang that held up
the Hock Island train at Dover some time
ago. They have been chased ever since.
Charles Pierce , alias Dynamite Dick , is a
half brother to Tulsa Jack , who' was killed
In the Cheyenne country by Deputy Marshal
Banks.
The express companies have a big reward
offered for these outlaws.
The bodies were embalmed and the express
detectives have been wired for. Deputy
Hanks saw the bodies and recognized them.
Oscar Ilalzell recognized Ultter Creek. The
outlaw used to herd cattle for him. O. P.
Hicks , a couboy , looked at him and said
that he punched cattle with him several years
ago. The horses of the outlaws were killed
and their saddles and all weapons were
brought to the city. None of the marshals
were hurt. _

SAN riZANCISCO , May 2. Theodore Dur-
rent will foe placed on trial for the murder
of Minnie Williams. He was held to the
superior ! court and bail refused. Police
Judge Conlan , the committing magistrate ,
In rendering his decision , briefly reviewed
the case , and the evidence adduced against
Durrani. In conclusion , the Judge said :
"The psople , I consider , have surely wound
the chain of circumstances In this case
around Durrant , and to cap the climax the
property of the dead girl was found In his
possession. The chain Is complete , and In
my opinion nothing Is wanting. "
Subsequently Durrani's preliminary ex
amination for the murder of Blanche Lament
was taken up. The evidence so far given
Is a precise rep3llllon of that at the In
quest , and related to Durrani's accompany
ing the girl from school on the day she
was murdered , and to his social Intimacy
with her. Blanche's cunt , Mrs. Noble , was
asked by the defence to Identify the dead
girl's handwriting. She was cross-exam
ined for an hour on this polnl. The only
wrlling which has ' .concerned Ihe case
hllhertn was thai on Ihe paper enclosing
Blanche's rings , and bearing Ihe names
of George U. King and Prof. Schernsleln.
The defense apparently wish to show that
Blinche herself wrote those names , to es
tablish their new theory that Blanche had
not been killed , and that the body In the
church was that of some one else.

'LONDON , May 2. A dispatch to the Times
from Odessa cays It li ccml-ofllclally an
nounce ] that Ruuli has made every prepara
tion nnd Is quite ready to1 begin hostilities If
Japan refuses to modify the terms of her
treaty of peace with China.
A Berlin dltpatch to the Times cays that
negotiations arc actively proceeding for an
amicable settlement ot the trouble between
Huisla , Germany and Franco on the one
hand and Japan on the other. In consequence
ot three negotiations Japan has not made a
formal reply to the protect of the powers.
A St. Petersburg dispatch to the same
paper says there is reason to bcllcvo that an
early answer of Japan to the Joint protest was
not expected. Russia Is Inclined to give
Japan plenty of time In which to reply with
out the lallcr slulti/ylng herself In the eyes
of the Japanese people by anything like a
too hasty compliance. The Hu slan envoy at
Tolslo has lately pressed for a reply to the
protest and has been told that It will be given
In a few da\s on the return of Count Ito ,
president of the Japanese council ot ministers.
In diplomatic circle. ; there Is great confidence
that a pacific solution of 0" > mailer will be
reiched.
The Times' Paris corresponded saya that
the papers of lhat city ore trying desperately
hard to complicate the attitude of the powers
In regard lo the Ch'ncsc Japanese treaty of
peace. The correspondent adds : "From an
excellent source I am Informed that the
rumors of an ultimatum , collective no c > , etc. ,
are not founded on fact. Hussla , In fact , Is
not so determined as ts generally supposed
to push matters to thepracttcal Issue of open
hostilities. The military resources of Siberia
are not such n.3 to Justify such an enterprise.
Germany , while apparently llrnVy deter
mine ! to afford moral support by diplomatic
pressure , has given no grounds for supposing
that she will actively Intervene.
"France , whllo faithfully keeping Russia
company , 1ms certainly not entered upon any
agreement by which she will embark on an
adventurous complication. Finally , It Is not
true that Great Britain Is Inciting Japin to
resist. Indeed , It U quite the contrary. Great
Britain urges Japan to meet the suscepti
bilities of Europe with all the concessions
compatible * with Japanese dignity and Inter
ests. This advice was not given In vain. It
Is cxpoclcd that Japan will give the European
powers a mark of deference and will renounce
an Indefinite occupation of the Llao Tung
peninsula , consenting thai nil other occupa
tions cease with the fulfillment ot the other
clauses of the treaty. I do not bcllove that
Europe will demand more than this , and I
do not believe that Japan will refuse to go
as near OB this. This arrangement may be
taken as probable and It will shortly come
about"
In a leader the Times says : "Tho diplo
matic game between Japan and Ihe powers
appears lo be proceeding In slrlct ncsord with
the regular rules. Everywhere the confidence
rcvalls thai a pacific solution will be ob-
Ined ot Ihe row. "

WICHITA , Kan. , May 2. A special to the
Eagle from Halstead , Kan. , sjys : The cyclon3
which passed through the western part of
Harvey county , killing twelve persons , near
Halstead , and seriously Injuring several oth
ers , was one of the most destructive that has
ever visited Kansas , with Iho exception of
such as may have taken large towns In their
sweep. A line , beginning In Scdgewlck
county at the Mount Hope bridge , within a
gunshot of the old Carlisle ranche , and drawn
straight In a northeasterly dlrecllon lo a
point a little to the- southeast of Mound Hldgo
n McPherson county , U nol for from Iwcnty-
five milts In length , and by careful count
there Is , or was , upon Ihls line , an average
of one farm house to the mile , every one of
which was ellher totally demolished or so
nearly so that in most cases It might as well
liave been.
Deputy Hall Is able to give an exact ac
count of the beginning of this Icrrlble calas-
trophe. Ho resides five miles cast of Mounl
[ lope , and was reluming with his wife from
Mount Hope. Just after crossing Ihe Mounl
Hope bridge over Ihe Arkansas they ob
served some tall ends of a cloud suddenly
thrown Into violent confusion , and after a few
moments they assumed the regulation fun
nel shape and descended rapidly to the carlh
a few hundred yards In fronl nnd to the north
of them. Clouds of dust arose from the earth
along Us palhway.

The storm lifted and passed directly over
Mound Ridge , doing no damage there , but
filling the town with debris and dead cat
tle. A peculiar feature of Ihe storm was
the fact that It rained heavily east of the
path of destruction , but not west of It.
The funerals at the Wear family took place
at Halstead today , as was also the funeral 1
of Miss Neff. The city was In deep mourn-
ng and the funeral was attended by people

curred nt the homo of Cyrus HInkson. The

among-them , afler which the house was torn
away without Injuring any of them.

templed lo Invade the province of Camaguay.
While on their march General Salcedo has
tened with 3,500 Spanish troops lo Intercept
and prevent the Cuban Invasion. They met
at Jaragueta , Ihe Cubans surprising Ihe
Spanish. The Cubans surrounded Iho enemy
and charged them seven times with their
machetes. The Spaniards finally entrenched
themselves and made a stubborn resistance.
During the conflict 200 Cubans were killed
and wounded , while the Spanish losses were
between -100 and GOO. Two hundred of the
Spaniards were captured. The Cubans then
proceeded on their march to Camaguay. ThU
occurred on the 23d.

Cuban republic was formed at Palcnquc about
a week ago. Tomaa Estrada Paltna Is said
to have been named as president , Jose Marti
was foreign minister and Maximo Gomez was
general in command of the entire army
Tomas Palma is now In New York. He was
the last president of the Cuban republic am

and Mrs. Lora II. Prlddy of Wichita responded
on behalf of the federation. She said In part :
"In those days the home woman must , keep
In touch with more than the dally grind of
domestic toll to be thf best homekeoper. She
must keep In touch with the women of her
own and other nations , who had Independence
of Judgment enough to keep their bearing
amid the pulling and hauling of so many con
flicting fads and Issues. "
The reports of the different officers of the
federation wcro read next , and showed the

Virginia stilkers , bul bolh ot the compan
es located here are running loday , Ihough
with a. lighter force.
Good order prevails. The Soulhwesl Vir
ginia Improvement company , the largest op-
eralors In the Held , are maintaining n po-
illlon of neulrallly and working according
to the demands for coal. They claim Ihal
no cause for a strike among their men
xlsts , and Ihey will operate as long as
he men will work. A great pressure is
being used to bring these miners Into the
strike , nnd their failure to Join Is the chief
source of conversnllon In the coal lields.
The Impression prevails that the miners
lere will finally Join or there will be trouble.
The N. & W. Railway company Us moving

COLUMBUS , O. , May 2. The miners'
committee has Informed the operators thai
a Joint session of opcrnlors und miners can
not bo held until tomorrow. The miners
then went Into secret session. They began
work early. They are very reticent. They
arc divided In opinion upon the question of
askingIhe operators lo retain 10 cents to
go toward the support of certain Plttsburtf
miners , who are striking for terms which
would give employment In Ohio , Indlunu
and Illinois , but , as heretofore stated , and
as repeated again today by the operators'
. chief ( -pokes-man , such detention and use of
money would practically amount to Ille
gal conspiracy and cannot he ncccpt d.
The situation , therefore. Is that unless the
miners In the secret session who oppose
this effoit al alleged conspiracy can pre
vail upon Us friends to accede , times ahead ,
according to the operators , and es-peclally
In the Hooking vallsy , present a positive
prospect of absolute cessallon of mining.

LINCOLN , May 2. ( Special Telegram. )
The state rested nt noon In the c.tse > ag.ilnst
ox-Slate Ttcaxurcr Illll and his bonJsmen ,
and at the afternoon session the defense at
tempted to Introduce as evldonco the $700-
000 bond of tlio Capital National bank , given
when It was inodo n state depository. This
was resisted by Judge Wakelcy for the state.
The defense , by Attorney John H. Ames ,
claimed thcro was no decision In any case
similar to this where a state treasurer has
been held liable for plac'ng money In a bank.
Judge Wakcley urged that thc-o was a prero-
dent In Cedar county in this stato. In which
Ju gs Savage had held that a county treas
urer had a right to receive certificates of de
posit from his predecessor , but that this very
Btipiemo court hal reversed that holding.
The argument on this point will bo con
cluded tomorrow by Attorney Ames.
Deputy State Treasurer 0. M. llartlott and
his big book resumed the wlliiess stand at the
opening of court. Ho was asked by Mr.
Lambertson If he had a record ot certificates
of deposit for J60.000 Issued November IS ,
1S91. Witness replied that ho had not. On
January C , 1803 , the balance to the state's
credit In the Capital National bank wnslS5-
357.85. This was drawn out. In two certifi
cates of deposit , ono for $160,000 and ono for
$3n,367.Sd , and both had been turned over
to Hartley In settlement between him and th
outgoing state treasurer , Illll.
Mil. HILL GOT LITTLE CASH.
Cross-examined by Whcedon witness said
that when Hill had assumed the olHcc ot state
treasurer the outgoing olllclal , Wlllurd. hail
turned over to him tuo certificates of de
posit for ? r.0,000 each In the Capital National
bank. Hill had litst gone into the ofllcu Jan
uary 5 , US ! ) . Had received only $523,21 la
cash from Wlllard at the time. All the rest
had been In checks , drafts and certificates of
deposits. Not over 2 per cent of the re
ceipts of the office had been In cash. Had
been connected with the state treasury twen
ty-four years. Had been stale treasurer four
years during that time. When Hill had euc-
ceedcJ himself In 1M > 1 he had received cer
tificates of deposit from liltmolf.
On redirect It was developed that on Jan
uary 7 , 1SS9. the two $50.000 certificates of
deposit wcro "swapped" for one $100,000 ccr-
tficate , and this was retained In the olllco of
the slate treasurer for nearly .1 year.
Hecclvcr Haydcn of the Capital National
bank was recalled and said , In cxphilnJnK
Insolvency , that ho had never known of a ,
bank that would have been able to pay all
Its indebtedness In one day. This was drawn
out by Wlioedon's cross-examination. Hayden -
den had testified jestcrday that the Iranlc
hud been Insolxent for qullc a while prior
to the settlement between Hill und Hartley.
This InformuUon was objected to by Mr.

then tried to ascertain If witness had loaned
the Capital National $20,000 , but was ruled
out.
CAPITAL NATIONAL ASSETS.
Mr. Wheedon went Into the question of
the actual assets ot the bank at the tlmo oC
the collapse and gained the Information that
In round numbers- they were $160,000. The
attorney wanted to know of what these assets
consisted. Witness replied In real estate ami
bills receivable. Had placed the real eslato
at JCO.COO , but It was worth now $ SO,000. Mr.
Whcedon attempted to ehow that the real
ussels , Including Outcalt's securities turnoi
over , wcro $222,790 , and witness admitted
that It might be passible to realize that turn
In good times , but ho had been dealing In
actualities and not possibilities.
Then Mr. Lambertson asked witness how
much hod been paid In dividends , but defense -
fonse objected and was sustained.
"Mr , Hayden , " Inquired Mr. Lambcrtson ,
"when you speak of what may bo realized
from the assets of Uic bank as $500,000 , how
much do you Include as block assessments ? "
"About $185.000. "
"Isn't $335,000 a largo estimate for the
btlanco of assets ? "
"I thlr.lt not. "
"What amount of paper was outstanding
at the tlmo of the failure ? "
"Tho sum was $339,359.80. "
The defense then went Into a close exam
ination of witness , the point attempted to ba
shown being that the Capital National bank
at the tlmo of Its future was In a much bet
ter condition than had been represented , but
the replies of witness wcro unsatisfactory.
Judge Wakolny offered certified copies of
financial statements of the state's finances
for January C , 1891 , January 5 , 1893 ,
and February 2 , 1891. Defense ob
jected to the Introduction of thcsu
documents and was overruled. Judge Wake-
ley then slated that the stale rested It. ! case ,
with the privilege of reconsideration of cer
tain matters If It was thought advisable. De-
fore proceeding with the defense the court
took a rccebs.
At the opening of the afternoon session
State Auditor Moore was recalled and Iden
tified the bond given by the Capital Na
tional bank and filed In his olllco January
1C , 1S93 , Including the signatures of C. W.
Moslicr , as president , and U. C. Outcalt , aa
cashier of the bank. Asked what tlmo ot
the day the bond was brought to the audit
or's olllco , and by whom , witness stated that
Mr. Moshcr had brought It in person , and
according to his memory , about 10 o'clock
in the morning.
Judge Wukeley objected to the introduction
of the bond Into evidence. Ho had under
stood the court's ruling , already made , to be
that the question of the bank having been
made a state depository did not at this stage
of the case cut any figure. The court re
served its ruling until the argument should
bo heard , but after some parleying on either
sldo it was decided to listen to the argu
ment forthwith.
HESPONSIIUL1TY OF A TPvEASURER.
Judge Wakcley began his argument with
the statement that the state's cause of ac
tion was as complete on January C , 1893 , as
It is today , or was when this trial began.
Continuing , the Judge declared , with consld-
| crablo emphasis , that It was an established
rule , and had been so held by this very
court , that when a treasurer having In cus
tody state funds removes from the treasury
where they belong such funds he has under
the law and the ruling of the supreme court
converted there funds to his own use. Thin ,
ho claimed , was Illustrated In the case of
the btato against the treasurer of Cedar
county , Nebraska. In that case Judge Sav
age was holding court In Cedar county , when
a case similar In every respect to the ono
at bar came up for trial. Ho held that the
agreement made between the treasurer o
Cc-Jar county and his successor , to accept
a ccrtlfilcato of deposit on a bolvent Sioux
City bank , ID lieu of the actual cash , wax
good. That decision wan reversed by tills
court , and the opinion still stands of record.
The same position was taken by this court
In the case of the state against Hill , where
he was found to have converted Btato funds
to his own use by placing them on deposit
In certain Omaha bauks. The first breach ot
the state treasurer's bond Is , In this case ,
alleged to be the wrongful conversion ot

Euglish Difficulty with Nicaragua Passes
the Acute Stage.
SOME TICKLISH POINTS TO SETTLE YET
Question of Dominion to British Subjects
Other Than Consul Hutchins at the
Protectorate Over the
Nicaraguan.
WASHINGTON, May 2. The Department
of State has received this afternoon a telegram
from Ambassador Bayard at London
stating that Great Britain has accepted the
guarantee made by Salvador of the payment
of the Indemnity by Nicaragua in London
within a fortnight, and so soon as Nicaragua
confirms the arrangements and so informs the
British admiral, the admiral is instructed to
leave Corinto.
The above official statement, given out at
the State department after 1 o'clock this
afternoon, may be regarded as passing the
acute stage of the difficulty between Great
Britain and Nicaragua, which at one time
threatened to involve the United States. It
cannot be doubted that Nicaragua will
promptly confirm the arrangements and the
British fleet will leave Nicaragua as soon as
the action of the British foreign office can
be communicated to Admiral Stephenson
which, by the way, might be sooner had not
the Nicaraguans purposely interrupted the
communication by cable. The guarantee by
Salvador of Nicaragua's Indebtedness, It Is
said, is simply repayment of the favor extended to Salvador by Nicaragua at the time
of the Ezcta Incident, when Dr. Guzman, the
Nicaraguan minister at Washington, took up
the case of Salvador by instructions of his
own government and worked so hard to secure the extradition of the refugees to Salvador. In addition to this consideration
based on gratitude, the Salvadoreans are
supposed to be influenced in espousing the
Nicaraguan cause by a feeling of apprehension
at the presence of British troops on
Central American soil. It is quite certain
that all of the countries of Central America
have been deeply impressed with some
fear.
CENTRAL AMERICAN UNION REVIVED
It is felt here that the Nicaraguan Incident
may, perhaps, be the direct means of bringing
about again the long expected revival of the
union of Central American republics, the
small republics now existing having been
brought to a realization of their inability to
protect themselves in a conflict although
considerable power. Although it may be
assumed that the acute phase of the Nicaraguan
Incident has passed, supposing that there
should be no hostile collision before the formal
orders have reached the commanders of each
side, there are yet some matters to be adjusted
before the Incident can be regarded as entirely
closed. After the settlement of the "small
money" claim on account of Hatch, a
commission must be selected to proceed to
adjust the claims of other British subjects,
not officials, who were expelled from Bluefields
last summer, and if this commission assesses
damages against Nicaragua on this score there
may be some gumming before the account is
settled. This is not likely to lead to serious
trouble, but in the Nicaraguans, smoldering
under a sense of oppression, for they declare
that Hatch never had an extrajudicial
equator, and so was never recognized by them
as a British official, may be counted upon to do
everything they can, "without giving cause for
an open rupture," to give their patronage in
the future to other countries than Great
Britain.
THORN AMONG THE ROSES.
It is Just within the bounds of possibility,
too, that the old question of British rights
in the Mosquito reservation may also arise at
some future day, for it is recalled here that
General Barrios, who went to London as
special commissioner to come to an
understanding with Great Britain on this subject
and to secure a revision of the Treaty with
Nicaragua by which the British right of
protection over the reservation was recognized,
was met by a polite refusal by Lord Kimberley
to enter upon a discussion of the subject until
Nicaragua had adjusted the claims growing out
of the improper treatment of British citizens
at Bluefields. Thus the subject was left in
abeyance, though it is probable that the
United States would this time side with
Nicaragua in the contention that the Mosquitos,
by formal act in convention last summer in
merging their territory into the body politic
of Nicaragua, had absolutely terminated the
British protectorate. The British diplomatic
officers uniformly follow the practice of
keeping their home government informed as to
the state of public opinion in the country to
which they are accredited on any issue touching
that country, as shown by public declarations
and utterances of leading newspapers. While
it has been suggested that the foreign office in
the case of Nicaragua may have been somewhat
influenced in this last action in closing up the
case, or at least may have been hastened in its
disposition by notice from the British ambassador
here of the action yesterday of the New York
assembly, it was definitely developed when the
official announcement of the agreement was
made that the United States had taken a very
important part in the negotiations within the last
twenty-four hours. A telegram of instructions
was sent to Mr. Bayard, laying down a positive
line of action. Mr. Bayard received these
instructions so late yesterday that they were
undoubtedly communicated to the foreign office
today. It is a significant coincidence therefore
that Great Britain's acceptance was given almost
immediately after Mr. Bayard carried out his
Instructions.
BAYARD'S TALK EFFECTIVE.
Previous to yesterday the compromise was
being pushed by the Salvadoran minister in
London, but his efforts seemed to be ineffective
and there was no certainty that Great Britain
would agree. It was this doubt which led to
the cable to Mr. Bayard. He was directed to
urge the reasonableness of the compromise
proposition and seek an early acceptance. The
results proved that his efforts were more effective
than those of the Salvadoran minister.
Mr. Guzman, the Nicaraguan minister here,
received the news from the State department
late in the day. "I am much gratified with the
news," said he, "but now that it is all over I don't
mind saying I was quite apprehensive up to the
time the official message came from Mr. Bayard.
There is no doubt but the affair is at an end, as no
circumstances can now intervene to prevent the
execution of the agreement. The suggestion that
Nicaragua has yet to accept it is a mere formality
which she has already accepted, and in fact has
urged the agreement through her representative.
But such further assurances as are necessary will
be given. The payment of the money is beyond
question. Nicaragua's word is beyond question,
but in addition there is the assurance of
Salvador."
Dr. Guzman was asked what other step would
be taken.
"There is only one more step," said he, "and that
is for the British ships to sail from Corinto. I
expect that will occur on Saturday, perhaps by
tomorrow." As the late view closed, Dr. Guzman said: "I want to emphasize, and this is my
appreciation of the consideration shown to me and
my government by the State department. The
kind manner in which Secretary Forrest and all
the officials have treated the subject at a time of
emergency is a source of congratulations to me
and certainly will be to my country when the fact
becomes known," Dr. Guzman sent a cable to his
government informing them of Great Britain's
acceptance.
Preparing for the execution of Dr. Buchanan,
SING SING, May 2.-Ward en Sage will on
Saturday send out invitations to the witnesses to
attend the execution of Dr. Buchanan, on
Wednesday next, at which time the second respite
expires. The warden said today he had every
reason to believe that the death sentence would be
carried out then.
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN HISTORY?
Holder's Asking to Lead Against the Dutch Force.
Copyrighted. 1895, by the Associated Press.
MANAGUA, May 2. (Via Galveston.) Advice received here from the commander of the Nicaraguan forces at Paso de Cabello, a short distance from Corinto, this morning says that so far as known at the Nicaraguan headquarters, the British force under Rear Admiral Stephenson has not made any further demonstration beyond removing the rails from the national railroad communicating with Corinto. In order, it is presumed, to guard against a surprise upon the part of the troops of the republic. The latter are animated by feelings of the most bitter animosity against Great Britain and they are being asked to be led to the attack. However, it is said, there will be no further trouble, as it is known from the highest sources that the government of Nicaragua is expecting news from Washington at once of a settlement of the dispute between Nicaragua and Great Britain regarding the indemnity demanded by the latter country as the result of the expulsion from the republic of certain British subjects who had made themselves obnoxious to the government. Although the British forces have not made any attempt to leave Corinto for the interior of Nicaragua, the manner in which the British governor of Corinto, Captain Trench of the flagship Royal Arthur, treated two prominent Nicaraguan yesesterday is well calculated to still further increase the feeling against Great Britain. The two gentlemen alluded to, belonging to the leading families of Nicaragua, were detailed by the government to make certain communications to the British governor, and with this object in view, they succeeded in crossing from the mainland to Corinto, where they made their way to the office of the Italian consul. Upon arriving there, they sent a messenger to Captain Trench informing him that they desired to confer with him as the representative of Admiral Stephenson in regard to certain matters of importance connected with the British occupation of Corinto. The object of the Nicaraguans in requesting that the interview take place at the office of the Italian consul was that they desired to avoid officially recognizing Captain Trench as governor of Corinto. The British officer, however, refused to go to the office of the Italian consul and informed them that if they desired to see the governor of Corinto, they were to come to his (Captain Trench's) office. This the Nicaraguans refused to do, and when the British captain was notified of this fact, he sent them a message ordering them to leave the island instantly, under the penalty of being driven out by force. The object of this visit of the Nicaraguan officials to Captain Trench is not known here.
HAVING DID NOT
United States did not offer to arbitrate
Managua Troubled.
LONDON, May 2. The parliamentary secretary of the Foreign office, Sir Edward Grey, replying to Mr. William Pollard Byles, member for the Shipley division of Yorkshire, in the House of Commons today, said that the proposal of Nicaragua to refer all disputes between that country and Great Britain to a commission of arbitration was received April 11, but, he added, when the papers are submitted to Parliament it will be seen that it was not a case for arbitration. Mr. Byles also asked whether the United States had tendered her good offices or suggested terms for an amicable settlement with Nicaragua. To this question, Sir Edward Grey answered that no such proposal had been received from the United States government. He hoped, however, that a settlement would soon be arranged.
The dispute between Great Britain and Nicaragua, the Associated Press learns, will be settled within a few days. The United States ambassador, Mr. Bayard, and the Salvadoran minister who is representing Nicaragua had a long conference today with the earl of Kimberley, secretary for foreign affairs.
CALL OFF THE PURSUIT: EXCHANGE OVER.
to buy She Ought Never to Have Been Allowed to Occupy Corinto.
SAN DIEGO, May 2. Senator S. M. Cullom of Illinois arrived by private car from Los Angeles last night accompanied by Mrs. Cullom and friends. In an interview on the forcible occupation of Corinto by British forces, Senator Cullom said:
"If a plain and emphatic protest had been made by the United States, England would not have occupied Corinto. Now that she is here, I believe in using force, it necessary, to get her out. There are two things which the people of the United States have solemnly declared on the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine and the building of the Nicaraguan canal. The administration that gets in the way of the people in these matters will be put out of the way. There are some things that we will not stand long-suffering as we are. I do not apprehend that England will go to such steps as is prophesied, yet we do not know what her insolent and dictatorial policy may lead her to attempt. One thing is certain, that she must get away from Nicaragua or there will be war between the United States and England."
GERMAN VOTES AGAINST
Berlin Passed the Import Control Bill. Some of Its Provisions.
BERLIN, May 2. The Reichstag today passed the customs tariff amendment bill. The measure includes a paragraph giving the government full powers to impose additional duties as reprisals for the hostile duties of foreign states, but providing that the discriminating duties on goods on the free list shall not exceed 20 percent ad valorem. The measure raises the duties on perfumes containing alcohol from 200 to 200 marks and imposes a protective duty on quebracho wood used for tanning purposes, to go into effect on July 1.
A senatorial murder is reported from New Ross. C. L. Taylor, land agent for the marquis of Ely, was shot and killed while standing outdoors the courthouse at New Ross by a bailiff whom Taylor had threatened to evict from his holdings.

Rich Countries in Europe Calling Some Action in Mining Areas.
LARAMIE, Wyo., May 2.-Special.-For the past two weeks claims have been filed by a number of parties upon quartz properties near Laramie Peak. The claims have been filed quietly, and an effort has been made to keep the location and nature of the properties secret. It is now learned that the new find is one of the finest ore prospects ever opened up in this county, returns from a number of assays have been received which fully justify the desire of those acquainted with the facts to secure claims. The new field is located eight miles north of Laramie Peak and twenty-five miles due west of Wheatland.
The Carbon and Hanna coal mines, which have been idle for some time, will resume operations today. The output of the United Pacific mines, which is at present 100 cars per day, will be increased 50 percent by starting these mines.

CAUGHT THIRTY BUCKSHOT
Deputy Marshal Put an End to the Career of Two Bad Men.
PURSUING THE REST OF THE GANG
Several Were Hurt in the Encounter Herndon Partridge View the Remains and Identify the Dead.
Ontowo.
GUTHRIE, Okla., May 2. At Spengle's undertaking house in this city are the bodies of the two most notorious desperadoes of the Dallon-Doollin gang. The dead men stretched out on boards are George Newcomb, alias Ditter Creek, alias Slaughter Kid, and Charles Pierce, alias Dynamite Dick. The advent of the officers with the remains of the outlaws was a complete surprise to the community, as no one had been apprised of the fact that the bandits were being pursued, much less that there had been a fight, and that two of them had been killed. They were brought in just as they had died, in full clothes, with their boots and spurs on and armed to the teeth. Besides rifles, each had a revolver apiece and belts of cartridges for both instruments of death. As their clothing was cut off their bodies, it was seen that Dynamite Dick had at least thirty buckshot in him, while two rifle balls let the life out of Bitter Creek. Dynamite Dick was shot all over, but mostly in the right shoulder and side, although he had fully six shots in his stomach and as many in one foot. One of his eyes were open, as though he had been in the act of taking a sight along a rifle. One bullet struck Bitter Creek in the forehead and tore out his brains at the back of his head, and the other hit his hand as he was pulling the trigger.
Marshal Nix does not want to say much about the killing, as the marshals who did the work are still after other men. The outlaws were killed at the southeast corner of Pawnee county at the house of the Dunn brothers, near Ingalls, the old rendezvous of the outlaws, by Deputy Marshal Sam Schaffer at the head of six other marshals. The bandits went to Dunn's house about 8 o'clock last evening. It being moonlight, they were easily seen, and Dynamite Dick was killed outright, being filled full of buckshot. Bitter Creek made a fight and two rifle balls felled him off his horse before he could pull the trigger of his gun. The two men killed were a part of the gang that held up the Rock Island train at Dover some time ago. They have been chased ever since.
Charles Pierce, alias Dynamite Dick, is a half-brother to Tulsa Jack, who was killed in the Cheyenne country by Deputy Marshal Banks.
The express companies have a big reward offered for these outlaws.
The bodies were embalmed and the express detectives have been wired for. Deputy Banks saw the bodies and recognized them. Oscar Halzell recognized Bitter Creek. The outlaw used to herd cattle for him. O. P. Hicks, a cowboy, looked at him and said that he punched cattle with him several years ago. The horses of the outlaws were killed and their saddles and all weapons were brought to the city. None of the marshals were hurt.
It was decided at the conclusion of the meeting by the stockholders of the Santa Fe that Charles Durrant will be placed on trial for the murder of Minnie Williams. He was held to the superior court and bail refused. Police Judge Conlan, the committing magistrate, in rendering his decision, briefly reviewed the case, and the evidence adduced against Durrant. In conclusion, the Judge said: "The people, I consider, have surely wound the chain of circumstances in this case around Durrant, and to cap the climax the property of the dead girl was found in his possession. The chain is complete, and in my opinion nothing is wanting."
Subsequently Durrant's preliminary examination for the murder of Blanche Lament was taken up. The evidence so far given is a precise repetition of that at the inquest, and related to Durrant's accompanying the girl from school on the day she was murdered, and to his social intimacy with her. Blanche's cousin, Mrs. Noble, was asked by the defense to identify the dead girl's handwriting. She was cross-examined for an hour on this point. The only writing which has concerned the case hitherto was that on the paper enclosing Blanche's rings, and bearing the names of George U. King and Prof. Schernstein. The defense apparently wish to show that Blanche herself wrote those names, to establish their new theory that Blanche had not been killed, and that the body in the church was that of some one else.
It is decided that WILL NOT GO TO THE TREK AGAII. A. R. I'., Men Who Were Cut Out on the Union Pacific Railroad on the Salt Lake.
TOPEKA, Kan., May 2. Renewed appeals have been made recently to General Manager Frey of the Santa Fe for reinstatement of the American Railway union men who struck last year, but he refuses to recede from his original determination to take no such men back into the service of the company. These men, he says, had permanent work, and could have retained their positions just so long as they performed their duties and obeyed the rules and regulations, but they saw fit to connect themselves with an irresponsible organization rather than to remain loyal to the company which gave them steady employment and furnished them with means of support. In conclusion, he says: "Surely the management cannot be blamed for the present condition of these men, as due warning was given to all employees before the strike took place, protesting against any action of our employees in support of the American Railway union in its fight against Pullman."
Services over the remains of Arch Brown were held shortly before noon today in the First Presbyterian church, the regular pastor officiating. Following the casket came the governor and Mrs. Brown, Dr. Young Brown Jr., Virginia and Evelyn, the dead man's sisters. The rites were very short and simple. The choir sang "Come, Ye Disconsolate," and a chapter from the Bible was read and a prayer offered. The congregation sang "Near to Me, My God, to Thee," concluding the exercises. The casket, completely covered with beautiful floral designs, was placed in the hearse and the cortege moved to Fernwood, where the interment took place. Hon. Henry Watson, Secretary of State, Hon. N. McDowell, Captain Gross, and other prominent people accompanied the governor to Henderson.
The annual meeting of the Marine Company of Nieragua was held here today. It was said that the commission would leave Mobile, Ala., on May 7, for Nicaragua, and that they would be accompanied by Chief Engineer Menocal, who will aid them in their inspection. Secretary-Treasurer Alden delivered a report that the meeting had discussed a proposition to advance to the government of Nicaragua the money deemed by Great Britain for the indigence placed upon Consul Hatch.
The constitution makers talked exemption in its various forms today. The article on that question was a verbatim copy of what Judge Cooley had drawn for the state of Michigan and which was said to have given great offence to the citizens of Michigan. It was in the main adopted, but in some important particulars was modified to meet the views of both sides of the religious question.
Foreign Content to Go Men Reasonable Time to Answer.
LONDON, May 2. A dispatch to the Times from Odessa says it is officially announced that Russia has made every preparation and is quite ready to begin hostilities if Japan refuses to modify the terms of her treaty of peace with China.
A Berlin dispatch to the Times says that negotiations are actively proceeding for an amicable settlement of the trouble between Russia, Germany, and France on the one hand and Japan on the other. In consequence of these negotiations, Japan has not made a formal reply to the protest of the powers.
At St. Petersburg, a dispatch to the same paper says there is reason to believe that an early answer of Japan to the Joint protest was not expected. Russia is inclined to give Japan plenty of time in which to reply without the latter slurring herself in the eyes of the Japanese people by anything like a too hasty compliance. The Chinese envoy at Tokyo has lately pressed for a reply to the protest and has been told that it will be given in a few days on the return of Count Ito, president of the Japanese council of ministers. In diplomatic circles, there is great confidence that a pacific solution of the matter will be reached.
The Times' Paris correspondent says that the papers of that city are trying desperately hard to complicate the attitude of the powers in regard to the Chinese Japanese treaty of peace. The correspondent adds: "From an excellent source, I am informed that the rumors of an ultimatum, collective note, etc., are not founded on fact. Russia, in fact, is not so determined as is generally supposed to push matters to the practical issue of open hostilities. The military resources of Siberia are not such as to justify such an enterprise. Germany, while apparently quite determined to afford moral support by diplomatic pressure, has given no grounds for supposing that she will actively intervene.
"France, while faithfully keeping Russia company, has certainly not entered upon any agreement by which she will embark on an adventurous complication. Finally, it is not true that Great Britain is inciting Japan to resist. Indeed, it is quite the contrary. Great Britain urges Japan to meet the susceptibilities of Europe with all the concessions compatible with Japanese dignity and interests. This advice was not given in vain. It is expected that Japan will give the European powers a mark of deference and will renounce an indefinite occupation of the Liaotung peninsula, consenting that all other occupations cease with the fulfillment of the other clauses of the treaty. I do not believe that Europe will demand more than this, and I do not believe that Japan will refuse to go as near to this. This arrangement may be taken as probable and it will shortly come about."
In a leader, the Times says: "The diplomatic game between Japan and the powers appears to be proceeding in strict accordance with the regular rules. Everywhere the confidence revolves that a pacific solution will be obtained of the row."
HANG AMERICAN INVITED TO PEKING
Following Absence from the Capital, Endangers the Chinese for Peace.
LONDON, May 2. A dispatch to the Times from Shanghai says that the emperor has sent another urgent command to Viceroy Li Hung Chang to go to Peking in order to consult with the emperor in regard to the ratification of the treaty of peace. Prince Kung, president of the Chinese council of ministers, and head of the foreign office, who has been ill for some time, has also had urged upon him the necessity of his presence at Peking, or unless he does so, the labor of the Chinese peace commission, who have negotiated the treaty of peace with Japan, will be lost. It is considered certain at Shanghai that the Chinese ministers and princes will petition that a vastly increased indemnity be paid Japan in lieu of a cession of Manchurian territory.
The officials of the maritime province of Kiang, in which the island of Formosa is situated, have sent a memorial to the throne protesting against the cession of the island. They offer to contribute the purchase money instead of Liu Kin Yang. The viceroy, Liang Chang, General Sung, has declared to the emperor his intention to fight to the death rather than surrender Manchurian territory to the Japanese.
Viceroy Li Hung Chang left Tien-Tsin for Peking on Tuesday. It appears certain that Russia has handed her ultimatum to Japan.
TIEN-TSIN, May 2, The emperor will ratify the treaty of peace with Japan. Prince Kung, president of the Tsung Li Yamen, and head of the military and naval forces of China, has resumed his duties after a prolonged absence, caused by ill health.

HIGH SCHOOLS IN NEW YORK CITY
The Department of Education of New York City has recently released a list of the high schools that have been swept clean by the Hallstead Fire Department. Every building in the path of the Hallstead engine was destroyed. The fire, which started in the basement of a building on West 23rd Street, spread quickly due to the high winds. It swept through the city, destroying everything in its path.
The fire department, led by Chief Hallstead and his men, worked tirelessly to contain the blaze. They first focused on the buildings closest to the original point of ignition, knowing that if the fire was not stopped, it would spread like a wildfire. The department's efforts were successful, and the fire was eventually brought under control.
The tragedy has claimed the lives of twelve people and injured many more. Among the victims were several firefighters, who bravely gave their lives to protect the city. The disaster has also caused significant damage to property, with estimates suggesting that the total loss could exceed $1 million.
In the aftermath of the fire, the city has mobilized resources to assist those affected. The Red Cross has set up relief stations in the affected areas, providing food, clothing, and shelter to those who have lost their homes. The mayor has declared a state of emergency, allowing for faster processing of relief funds.
The incident has also sparked a renewed debate about fire safety in New York City. The Board of Education has announced that all high schools will undergo a thorough inspection, with particular emphasis on fire safety measures. This includes the installation of new fire alarms, sprinkler systems, and other life-saving equipment.
The memory of the Hallstead Fire Department, and the heroic actions of its men, will always be remembered by the citizens of New York City. Their sacrifice has ensured that future generations will not have to face the same tragedy.
WICHITA, Kan., May 2. A special to the Eagle from Halstead, Kan., says: The cyclone which passed through the western part of Harvey county, killing twelve persons, near Halstead, and seriously injuring several others, was one of the most destructive that has ever visited Kansas, with the exception of such as may have taken large towns in their sweep. A line, beginning in Sedgwick county at the Mount Hope bridge, within a gunshot of the old Carlisle ranch, and drawn straight in a northeasterly direction to a point a little to the southeast of Mound Ridge in McPherson county, is not for from twenty-five miles in length, and by careful count there is, or was, upon this line, an average of one farm house to the mile, every one of which was either totally demolished or so nearly so that in most cases it might as well have been.
Deputy Hall is able to give an exact account of the beginning of this terrible calamity. He resides five miles east of Mound Ridge, and was returning with his wife from Mount Hope. Just after crossing the Mount Hope bridge over the Arkansas they observed some tall ends of a cloud suddenly thrown into violent confusion, and after a few moments they assumed the regulation funnel shape and descended rapidly to the earth a few hundred yards in front and to the north of them. Clouds of dust arose from the earth along its pathway.
LIST OF THE KILLED.
So far as known, the dead are:
FOUR MEMBERS OF THE SCHMIDT FAMILY, father, mother, son, and daughter.
MRS. JOSEPH WEAR AND THREE OF HER CHILDREN.
MISS CORA SNEFF.
WILLIAM ARMSTRONG.
GRANDMA CHAPIN.
FARMER BACIIMAN.
Among the injured are:
Joseph Wear and child, dying.
The Widow Fry, internally injured, recovery doubtful.
Mrs. J. A. Cummins.
J. H. Fritziol.
Jake Sallnskl, injured on the head, unconscious.
Mrs. William Armstrong.
William Morris, seriously.
Cyrus Hanson, fatally.
A complete list of places totally destroyed by the cyclone is: George H. Keener, Mrs. Gus Fry, Mike Sallnskl, John Wedling, Joseph Wear, Mark Chapman, William Armstrong, Deri Fritziol, Cyrus Hanson, J. H. Hammey, A. F. Pawnee, Mrs. Coates, Spencer Roy, Andrew Thompson, M. S. Hoge, and C. Bachman.
The storm lifted and passed directly over Mound Ridge, doing no damage there, but filling the town with debris and dead cattle. A peculiar feature of the storm was the fact that it rained heavily east of the path of destruction, but not west of it.
The funerals at the Wear family took place at Halstead today, as was also the funeral of Miss Neff. The city was in deep mourning and the funeral was attended by people from miles about. The funeral of Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs. Chapin took place at Durham, and there was also a large crowd and general mourning. Crowds of people visited the scene from Hutchinson, Newton, Wichita, and other places.
SOME OF THE INJURED WILL DIE.
The doctors say that Mrs. Coates and Mrs. Armstrong, whose husband was killed, cannot recover. Mr. Wear, who was reported seriously injured, was unable to attend the funeral today.
The neighboring farmers and citizens of Halstead held a public meeting tonight to devise methods to get means for the relief of the injured people. One curious incident occurred at the home of Cyrus Hanson. The family went into the cellar, and a horse was picked up from somewhere and thrown among them, after which the house was torn away without injuring any of them.
SIGNIFICANT OF WEATHER CONFERENCE
Homes on Both Sides Were Heavy but the Damage Worn Into Nothing.
TAMPA, Fla., May 3. Passengers arriving on the Plant steamship last night confirm the account of a Cuban victory. They assert that General Gomez, with the forces of Pique Perez and General Maceo, numbering 2,500 Cuban infantry and 300 cavalry, attempted to invade the province of Camagüey. While on their march General Salcedo stationed with 3,500 Spanish troops to intercept and prevent the Cuban invasion. They met at Jaraguá, the Cubans surprising the Spanish. The Cubans surrounded the enemy and charged them seven times with their machetes. The Spaniards finally entrenched themselves and made a stubborn resistance. During the conflict 200 Cubans were killed and wounded, while the Spanish losses were between 100 and 600. Two hundred of the Spaniards were captured. The Cubans then proceeded on their march to Camagüey. This occurred on the 23rd.
The passengers positively assert that the Cuban republic was formed at Palenque about a week ago. Tomas Estrada Palma is said to have been named as president, Jose Marti was foreign minister, and Maximo Gomez was general in command of the entire army. Tomas Palma is now in New York. He was the last president of the Cuban republic and was made prisoner while such. He has never resigned and has not been removed, nor has a successor been appointed. A vice president has been appointed to act for him until he can return to Cuba.

Florence Keasmr then welcomed the visitors, and Mrs. Lora H. Priddy of Wichita responded on behalf of the federation. She said in part: "In those days, the home woman must, keep in touch with more than the daily grind of domestic toll to be the best homemaker. She must keep in touch with the women of her own and other nations, who had independence of judgment enough to keep their bearings amid the pulling and hauling of so many conflicting fads and issues."
The reports of the different officers of the federation were read next, and showed the organization was growing in numbers rapidly, was out of debt, and had $40 in the treasury.
At the afternoon session some 600 representative women of Kansas and Missouri were present. The report of the executive council was submitted. It recommended the admission into the federation of two new clubs: The Saturday Club of Hiawatha, Kan., and the Current Literature Club of Salina.
Mrs. Laura E. Scammon of Kansas City, Mo., delivered the annual address as president. It was an able treatment of "How to counterbalance the individualism, which is the ideal of self-culture," with social cooperation and sympathy.
A motion was unanimously adopted that the federation be changed into a Kansas state federation and the constitution be changed to resemble other state federations, with a view to an ultimate national union of women's clubs.
Mrs. Mary Stone Gregory of Topeka read an interesting paper advocating kindergarten work in the public schools. In the evening the federation were entertained at the Soldiers' home by Mrs. Governor Smith and Mrs. E. N. Merrill, wife of the governor of the state.
VISUAL HISTORY PRESERVATION:
There is no place in Western Virginia where the coal strike has weakened.
POCAHONTAS, Va., May 2. This town was placarded last night with notices appealing to the miners here to join the West Virginia strikers, but both of the companies located here are running today, though with a lighter force.
Good order prevails. The Southwest Virginia Improvement company, the largest operators in the field, are maintaining a policy of neutrality and working according to the demands for coal. They claim that no cause for a strike exists among their men and they will operate as long as the men will work. A great pressure is being used to bring these miners into the strike, and their failure to join is the chief source of conversation in the coal fields.
The impression prevails that the miners here will finally join or there will be trouble. The N. & W. Railway company is moving its empties from the region of the strike to this point. No decided outbreak is expected before Monday, but everything is uncertain. The West Virginia miners who came in last evening left on a late train to report the position of the local miners and meetings will be held today to decide what course to pursue.
Messrs. Patrick McBryde and Lawless are in the fields, assuring the men that aid will be given to all strikers and their families.
TROUBLED SITUATION IN THE HOCKING VALLEY:
Troubles are expected in the Hocking Valley as other Ohio regions.
COLUMBUS, O., May 2. The miners' committee has informed the operators that a joint session of operators and miners cannot be held until tomorrow. The miners then went into secret session. They began work early. They are very reticent. They are divided in opinion upon the question of asking the operators to retain 10 cents to go toward the support of certain Pittsburgh miners, who are striking for terms which would give employment in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, but, as heretofore stated, and as repeated again today by the operators' chief spokesman, such detention and use of money would practically amount to illegal conspiracy and cannot be accepted.
The situation, therefore, is that unless the miners in the secret session who oppose this effort at alleged conspiracy can prevail upon their friends to accede, times ahead, according to the operators, and especially in the Hocking Valley, present a positive prospect of absolute cessation of mining.
EVIDENCE IN THE DUESTRON INSANITY CASE:
It seems to be the general opinion that the defense has gained greatly over its effort at the last hearing, when the jury disagreed.
UNION, Mo., May 2. From the showing made at yesterday's trial of Millionaire Murderer Duestrow, it seems to be the general opinion that the defense has gained greatly over its effort at the last hearing, when the jury disagreed. Governor Johnson, for Duestrow, managed the day by putting Dr. Kealling suddenly upon the stand. The witness gave his conclusion that Duestrow was a paranoiac and not a simulator.
Dr. A. H. SLOU, the physician of Arthur Duestrow, said he had come to the conclusion that the man was insane. A recess was here taken for lunch.
DETROIT'S NEW THUNDER OF COMMERCE.
DETROIT, May 2. Appropriate ceremonies in honor of the completion of Detroit's Chamber of Commerce building took place this afternoon. The building stands on St. Antoine and Griswold streets, 12 stories high, besides having a commodious roof house. It embodies the latest improvements and conveniences, and contains the handsomest exchange hall in the United States. Its total cost is nearly $500,000. Today's exercises were held in the exchange hall in the presence of a crowd of citizens and visitors.
LAWYER ARRIVED AS CONGRESSMAN.
CLEVELAND, May 2.-J. N. Michener, a prominent lawyer of Canton, O., and chairman of the Stark county democratic central committee, was given a hearing today before United States Commissioner Williams on the charge of passing counterfeit coin. Michener was arrested at Canton and brought here yesterday. He was bound over to the October term of court, with bail fixed at $25,000. He will probably secure bondsmen and be released this afternoon.
SUIT AGAINST THE HUNTER COMPROMISED.
KANSAS CITY, May 2. The attachment suit of H. F. Crandall, proprietor of the Grand Missouri hotel, against the Wagnerian Opera company to satisfy a claim of $300 for board for sixty-four musicians was compromised today. Mr. Crandall paid $100 and the costs, rather than be compelled to return to this city next October to try the case again.
IMPORTANT QUESTION RAISED BY THE DEFENSE IN THE HILL CASE.
HOPE OF THAT SIDE HINGES UPON IT
If the Grand Jury finds the Capital National bank a State Depository, the whole claim the case is landed there.
LINCOLN, May 2. (Special Telegram.) The state rested at noon in the case against ex-State Treasurer Duestrow and his bondsmen, and at the afternoon session the defense attempted to introduce as evidence the $700,000 bond of the Capital National bank, given when it was made a state depository. This was resisted by Judge Wakely for the state.
The defense, by Attorney John H. Ames, claimed there was no decision in any case similar to this where a state treasurer has been held liable for placing money in a bank. Judge Wakely urged that there was a precedent in Cedar county in this state, in which Judge Savage had held that a county treasurer had a right to receive certificates of deposit from his predecessor, but that this very supreme court had reversed that holding.
The argument on this point will be concluded tomorrow by Attorney Ames.
Deputy State Treasurer O. M. Hartlott and his big book resumed the witness stand at the opening of court. He was asked by Mr. Lambertson if he had a record of certificates of deposit for $60,000 issued November 18, 1891. Witness replied that he had not. On January 6, 1892, the balance to the state's credit in the Capital National bank was $85,357.85. This was drawn out in two certificates of deposit, one for $160,000 and one for $3,357.85, and both had been turned over to Hartley in settlement between him and the outgoing state treasurer, Duestrow.
MRS. HILL GOT LITTLE CASH.
Cross-examined by Wheelon, witness said that when Hill had assumed the office of state treasurer, the outgoing official, Willard, had turned over to him the certificates of deposit for $10,000 each in the Capital National Bank. Hill had last gone into the office January 5, 1889. Had received only $523,21 in cash from Willard at the time. All the rest had been in checks, drafts, and certificates of deposits. Not over 2 percent of the receipts of the office had been in cash. Had been connected with the state treasury twenty-four years. Had been state treasurer four years during that time. When Hill had succeeded himself in 1891, he had received certificates of deposit from himself.
On redirect, it was developed that on January 7, 1889, the two $50,000 certificates of deposit were "swapped" for one $100,000 certificate, and this was retained in the office of the state treasurer for nearly a year.
Securer Hayden of the Capital National Bank was recalled and said, in explaining insolvency, that he had never known of a bank that would have been able to pay all its indebtedness in one day. This was drawn out by Wheelon's cross-examination. Hayden had testified yesterday that the bank had been insolvent for quite a while prior to the settlement between Hill and Hartley. This information was objected to by Mr. Lambertson and sustained. Mr. Wheelon then tried to ascertain if witness had loaned the Capital National $20,000, but was ruled out.
CAPITAL NATIONAL ASSETS.
Mr. Wheelon went into the question of the actual assets of the bank at the time of the collapse and gained the information that in round numbers, they were $160,000. The attorney wanted to know of what these assets consisted. Witness replied in real estate and bills receivable. Had placed the real estate at $100,000, but it was worth now $60,000. Mr. Wheelon attempted to show that the real assets, including Outcalt's securities turn over, were $222,790, and witness admitted that it might be possible to realize that turn in good times, but he had been dealing in actualities and not possibilities.
Then Mr. Lambertson asked witness how much had been paid in dividends, but defense objected and was sustained.
"Mr. Hayden," Inquired Mr. Lambertson, "when you speak of what may be realized from the assets of the bank as $500,000, how much do you include as block assessments?"
"About $185,000."
"Isn't $335,000 a large estimate for the bank's assets?"
"I think not."
"What amount of paper was outstanding at the time of the failure?"
"The sum was $339,359.80."
The defense then went into a close examination of witness, the point attempted to be shown being that the Capital National Bank at the time of its failure was in a much better condition than had been represented, but the replies of witness were unsatisfactory.
Judge Waknely offered certified copies of financial statements of the state's finances for January 5, 1891, January 5, 1893, and February 2, 1891. Defense objected to the introduction of these documents and was overruled. Judge Waknely then stated that the state rested its case, with the privilege of reconsideration of certain matters if it was thought advisable. Before proceeding with the defense, the court took a recess.
At the opening of the afternoon session, State Auditor Moore was recalled and identified the bond given by the Capital National Bank and filed in his office January 15, 1893, including the signatures of C.W. Mosher, as president, and U.C. Outcalt, as cashier of the bank. Asked what time of the day the bond was brought to the auditor's office, and by whom, witness stated that Mr. Mosher had brought it in person, and according to his memory, about 10 o'clock in the morning.
Judge Waknely objected to the introduction of the bond into evidence. He had understood the court's ruling, already made, to be that the question of the bank having been made a state depository did not at this stage of the case cut any figure. The court reserved its ruling until the argument should be heard, but after some parleying on either side it was decided to listen to the argument forthwith.
RESPONSIBILITY OF A TREASURER.
Judge Waknely began his argument with the statement that the state's cause of action was as complete on January 5, 1893, as it is today, or was when this trial began. Continuing, the Judge declared, with considerable emphasis, that it was an established rule, and had been so held by this very court, that when a treasurer having in custody state funds removes from the treasury where they belong such funds he has under the law and the ruling of the supreme court converted those funds to his own use. This, he claimed, was illustrated in the case of the state against the treasurer of Cedar county, Nebraska. In that case, Judge Savage was holding court in Cedar county, when a case similar in every respect to the one at bar came up for trial. He held that the agreement made between the treasurer of Cedar county and his successor, to accept a certificate of deposit on a solvent Sioux City bank, in lieu of the actual cash, was good. That decision was reversed by this court, and the opinion still stands of record.
The same position was taken by this court in the case of the state against Hill, where he was found to have converted state funds to his own use by placing them on deposit in certain Omaha banks. The first breach of the state treasurer's bond is, in this case, alleged to be the wrongful conversion of $236,009. The second breach alleges that he failed to pay over in cash to his successor the full amount of the state's funds entrusted to him. The opinion cited above in the Cedar county case is surely binding in this case as that, and counsel averred that the agreement made between Hill and Hartley was no more binding on the state than was the agreement between the treasurer of Cedar county and his successor. As to the moneys committed to the Capital National Bank, they were miscellaneous taxes deposited without the slightest reference to any particular fund. | 21 |

Icy thought It would bo a RMVO error to ad
mit Uio atato depository bond cf Mosher ana
Outcalt Into tlie evidence , ns It would tend
to confuse the legitimate Issues of this case
In llio minds of the Jury.
JiidRo Ilrondy. rc-prMcntlnR ex-Treasurer
Hill , took up the points advanced by Judge
AVakoloy In tlulr proper order. In- regard to
the depository bond per se , It was a note
worthy fact that counsel had not once In the
course of his argument objected to the form
of the bond under discussion. Therefore he
should , for purposes of this argument , take
It that the dejwMtoty bond Is admitted by
counsel fcr the state to bo good. The state
depository law became sctlvo on and after
January (5 ( , 1893 , "and , " talcl the Judge em
phatically , "If It ever was a penitentiary
offense to put public moneys In a bank It was
not so thereafter. " Under our statutes the
duties of a state treasurer arc clearly laid
down to * be as follows- The receiving of slate
moneys , the paying of such warrants ns maybe
bo presented and the turning over to his
tuccoiscr cf such balances as ho may have
on hand. The- statute Is silent as the grave
In regard to any disposition to bo made ot
Btato moneys by Its treasurer. In Treas
urer Hill's ' case , es In that ot most ether
treasurers handling larpo sums ot money ,
there was never at my time a dollar of thla
disputed sum In his possession In the form
of cash. It was paper from the beginning
to end. If Treasurer Hill was guilty of em
bezzlement In handing over to his successor
the Capital National bank's certificates of de
posit for J23G.OOO , then a multiplicity of other
caies must necessarily arise from slmllir
transactions on the part of his deputies
throughout bit term of office. The proposi
tion must , Ji"1go Hrcady thouftht , carry Ita
absurdity rn i , face to any man of ordinary
common ttiSlmmured down ho thought
It was self 'V < "ent that Judge NVnknley's ar
gument ws a i > Itna facia defense of Moslicr ,
Outcalt and .heir sureties on the depository
bonJ , for if t Is conceded tl.at this bond la
good then f' rthcr proceedings In this case
nrp not < nly useless , but constitute an at
tack upon the official character of a man
who has r.ct been tliown to have acted In
any other way tlan a wise and prudent man
would act In the same premizes.
AMES ON Dd'OSITINO.
The piece do resistance ct the argument
was supplied by Attorney John II. Amei ,
who took the. place resigned by the previous
speaker and requested permission to address
himself to the particular point raised by the
state , In reference to th ? alleged crime ol
depositing state moneys In banks prior tc
the passage of the depo'llory law. The per
mission being granted , Mr. Ames said Im
pressively :
"I am unable to find that this or any othci
court , under a statute such as ours , am
under a bond such as the one upon \vhlcl
action Is hero brought , where the quegtior
has been brought directly In Is'uc. has fount !
that such deposit was In violation of the
law , where It was made by the trustee of thi
funds , with the same care and prudence IK
would bestow upon his own concerns In tin
ordinary course of business. I have been ut
terly unable to find that the responslbilltj
of such treasurer , trustee , executor , agent
receiver or administrator Is other than ballet
for hire. Whatever responsibility there Is
other thnn that Het down by common law
must bo fixed by statute. Now , If these getv
tlcmen ( waving a comprehensive hand in tin
direction of the array of counsel for tin
state ) can Impose a larger rosponslbllltj
than that measured by common law , the )
must do It through something they find li
this book , " and counsel dealt the harmlcsi
jopy ot the Nebraska statutes resting en tin
Counsel table before him a resounding blow
After reading the provision of the statuti
Mr. Ames declared that but pno ccnstructloi
can bo placed upon It that the state stll
retains title to all moneys entrusted to It ;
treasurers , and does not regard those cus
todlans as Insurers of the funds they handle
The proof of the correctness of this con
structlon lies , lis said , In tte fact that thi
statute gees on to affix a penalty for thi
wrongful misapplication of Its funds whll
they are temporarily out of Its Immedlati
control ; whereas , If the treasurer Is to b
regarded as an actual Insurer. h
from that moment to the expiration of th
contract bsqomqs to all practical purpose
the owner . .ofthe funds be so Insures. Th
policy of the state under our statutes 1
plainly and directly opposed to such a propo
sltlon. > ( rs ' Ames referred to the ac
requiring , hoi * state treasurer t
keep not only the state's moneys In his owi
vaults , but also a complete record of ever ;
bill received by him. "That law , " said he
"remained on the statute books exactly on
year and seventeen dnyi , and than they de
elded that they did not want the state treas
urer Insurer of the funds any longer an1
repealed the law. In 18G6 an act was paste *
with reference to official bends , but th
original act was never altered until 1881
whtn It was re-ennctcd for the purpose o
fixing certain penalties. This act contem
plates that nil official bands shall bo oblign
tory on the principal and sureties that th
olflclal shall discharge his duties well an
faithfully. Just what every trustee , every re
celvcr and every bailee Is liable for undo
the common law , and Just what Mr. till
would have ' ' "en liable for If he had neve
given any baud. In other words , It Is th
measure of his liability , and It means , It I
means anything , that he shall use the Earn
diligence In handling the state's moneys tha
he would exhibit In the care of his own al
fairs of moment. "
Counsel hero cited the case of the Unite
States against I'rescott , Thirl Howard , th
first case so far as Is 5hown by the books I
vhlch It w s over hel I that the lecolvor of T ul
lie moneys giving a bond became the Insure
of such moneys. In thla case It was lal
down that nothing would satisfy the bon
but currency. This opinion was very got ;
srally followed by other courts without ver
close examination of Its merits , until Jus
tlco Miller in a case cited in Fifteenth Wai
lace , 337 , hcU It to be bad law and ropi
Hated the dacUInc absolutely , holding that
sollector and receiver of i ublic moneys Is
bailee fcr Mro ind cnly liable for acts c
negligence or dishonesty. Prior to the oplr
Ion laid dottii In United States agilnst I'res
cutt there was r.o law Ip force other tlm
tint fixing ( to ir.casuro of liability as th
faithful performance of duty.
At this point the Jurors were excused unt

LINCOLN , May 2. ( Speclal.-Sherlff ) Kar
naugh of Platte coiAity , accompanied by
> etectlvo Hums , arrived In Lincoln this noon
vlth the notorious Mike Lamb , whom they
md rounded up In Nevada. The prisoner
vas Immediately taken to the penitentiary
ml given a suit of stripe ! .
Lamb was a resident of CJreeley county
nd was arrested In 1692 for cattle stealing ,
rled In Doone county and sentenced to two
ears In the pen. . Ills case was appealed to
ho supreme ccurt and Lamb released enl
l of $2,500. He then disappeared and laid
ow for two years , or during the time for
vhlch ho was sentenced , after which ho re-
ppeared In Platte county and was rearreJtcd
L > y Sheriff Kavenaugh In December , 1894.
Subsequently a county judge decided that
. .amb could not bo held , his term ot linprls-
inmctit having expired. On Juno I , 1S9I , a
vrlt ot mandamus was Issued against Shor-
ff Kavenaugh and the county Judge to com-
> el them to produce Lamb for Imprisonment.
About three weeks ago Sheriff Kavenaugh
ccelved a letter from Sheriff Wright of
Ogden , Utah , paying that he had Lamb In
custody , and asking Kavcnaugh If he wanted
ilm. Kavenaugh replied that ho did and
voiild come for him , and that all expenses
vould be paid.
HAD AN EXCITING TIME.
Today the Platte county sheriff was seen
at tlic Capital hotel , where he had juU eaten
dinner , after having got the slippery Lamb
safely off his hands. He was feeling consld-
irably relieved , and to a Hee reporter told
its Etcry. He said that he started for Ogden
n week ago last Monday. Arriving there ho
omul that Lamb had been taken to Dattle
Mountain , Nov. , by a deputy sheriff on some
other charge , and Sheriff Kavenaugh went
here. He found Lamb , arrested him nnd
attempted to put him aboard a train. This
ittempt was resisted , and , although Kave
naugh had a requisition from Governor Hoi-
comb , he was accused cf Impersonating an
olllcer and was himself arrested and taken
to Wlnnemucca , on the Southern Pacific rail
road. Meanwhile the Nevada authorities held
on to Lamb. The latter had some $ leO and
fept putting It up to assist In defeating the
attempts of Kavenaugh to get him out of the
state. Finally Kavenaugh got word to Car
son and secured a warrant for Lamb's ar
rest , and went back to Dattlo Mountain. Here
IB 'got the case Into the district court nnd
.he judge dismissed the cae , remanding
Lamb to the custody i ! Kavenaugh. Kave
naugh at once wired Attorney General
Churchill , and all the necessary arrangements
were made for the transportation of himself ,

PENDER , Neb. , May 2. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Captain Heck -was completing a letter
o the commissioner ot Indian affairs at
Washington today when The Bee man unex
pectedly walked Into his private office at the
agency. In this communication he made of-
Iclal request for better equipments , and
asked for fifty new uniforms for a contem-
ilatcd Increase In his Indian police force.
He also stated the present feeling of resist
ance to his police and urged that the Indian
lollco should bo placed In a better position
or future service In cnfqrclng governmental
nstructlons. Subsequently In an Interview
Captain Heck verified the rumor that ho had
temporarily delayed evictions , but emphati
cally denied the report that ho had surren
dered. On the contrary , ho said that within
a few weeks , as soon as he was thoroughly
equipped , he would resume the eviction of all
tenants whose leases he believed lo be Ille
gal , and that he would attempt these- evic
tions with the Indian police , whose number
would be Increased to fifty In an Indian police
force. If that number was unequal lo the
micrgency he would then use troops , as ho
liad practically been assured by. the govern
ment that ho would have all the back'ng '
necessary to enforce orders In this respect.
The captain announced that many of the
Flournoy tenants having failed to 'akc- ad
vantage of the opportunity to sign new leases
with the government , ho had made leases
with twenty-five new applicants , and llio lat
ter would surely ba placed In possesslji ,
while the others would bo ejected. RegardIng -
Ing the loss of crops just planted by Flournoy
tenants , he said that the latter had benn
notified in January , 1895 , that their leasas
were Illegal. Crops planted since then were
thus a defiance. It would result In loss of
labor , which should not have been per
formed In view of the warning.

Am un UnKiimm Qunntlty.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 2. Ths mystery
of Bookkeeper Charlc-s Smith , who vanished
on Sunday from the office of McGlaughlln &
Co. , grain buyers , has not yet been unraveled.
It Is said that his disappearance has some
connection with the Investigation of the Fair
wheat dtal.
James S. Angus , Fair's confidential man ,
has. admitted that the dead millionaire fur
nished McGlaughlln & Co. funds with which
to purchase tlie wheat now stored at the Port
Costa warehouse. Ho has stated , so It Is
said , that In some Instances McGlaughlln &
Co. presented written orders signed by Fair
and In. other Instances they came with verbal
orders for money. When the verbal orders
were given Angus always went to Fair and
asked him If It was all right , and upon re
ceiving the reply that It was the money called
for was paid over.
When the attorneys for Mrs , Herman Osl-
rlchs and Miss Virginia Fair commencefl their
Inquiry as to how much of the ex-senator's
money had bs > en Invested In wheat Mr. Angus
made no objection to Mr. Lloyd looking over
his books , but when It came to comparing
the accounts of Mr. Angus with the accounts
of McGlaughlln. & Co. there was a mysterious
disappearance of Smith and an account book
of the year th > big wheat deal was engineered
disappeared with him.
Mr. Lloyd , one of the attorneys , positively
declines to speak about his examination of
the books of Mr. Angus , but It now transpires
that he Is searching for books , which If found
will show more orders on file for monsy with
which to buy wheat , some of which are dated
at times when Fair was not In the city. The
attorneys for the Fair women arc exc , vllngly
anxious to find out where Smllh Is , and they
are having a search made for him themselves.
While none of the parties Interested In the
litigation over the Fair estate wll admit that
McGlaughlln's bookkeeper cuts any figure in
their Interest , yet they are all eager to find
out something about him.

for $40,000 were filed this morning In the
office of the clerk of the supreme court of
this state. The papers aver that the plain
tiff was In possession of a check or deposit
certificate of the value of $40,000 and that
this certificate , which slio afterward lost In
Jersey City , was found by Gould who has re-
fuicd to return It although repeatedly asked
to do so.
She then charges that Gould has fraudu
lently converted the certificate to his own
use. The petition sets out that the plaintiff
Is only 19 years old and a minor and asks
that the court appoint Lawyer Alexander
Simpson as her next friend , to prosecute the
suit. The court grants the request. Gould
must file his answer within thirty days from
the time the summons was served. The
summons was served on Gould at Communl-
paw last week.

INDIANAPOLIS , May 2. At a conference
of the supreme officers of the Knights of
Pythias It was decided to wage war on the
scceders from the order who have started
"the Improved Order Knights of Pythias. "
Chancellor Commander Ritchie was In doubt
about the wisdom of bringing on a fight , but
the other supreme officers Insisted that no
quarter should bo given.
The Improved Order Knights of Pythias
had Its origin In the action of the last supreme
lodge In deciding that hereafter the ritual of
the order shall be printed In the English
language only and that the English languagD
cnly shall be used In the secret work of the
order. The German-speaking members of the
order took affront and established the new
order , which authorizes the establishment ot
both English-speaking and German-speaking
lodges. _

NEW YORK , May 2. The following will
bo publish ! here tomorrow : A mov.msnt has
been set on foot to hold a convention of Irish-
Americans In ono ot the large cities at an
early date. A number of gentlemen who have
bsen prominent In the Irish cause , and who
nro of various schools of political thought ,
have com ? to the conclusion that the time
has come for Irish-Americans to Inaugurate
a new and bolder policy In the Interest of
Irish Independence. The agitation known as
the Parncll or Parliamentary movement , as
far as Irish nationality Is concerned , Is dead.
The home rule question has been ruled out ot
practical British politics by the British pee
ple. The new movement abides by the de
cision , as far as the further prosecution of
parliamentary agitation Is concerned , but de
termines to keep the flag of Irish Independ
ence still flying and will devote Itself to
forcing the Irish question on the attention
of the world In such a manner as will Inevita
bly compel a settlement more satisfactory to
Ireland than any heretofore offered by any
Urltlsh Parliament. Mr. Gladstone eald , In
moving hU homo rule bill : "If , therefore ,
the resistance- tliU measure were to be
bitter , obstinate and prolonged , the question
of repeal might finally became an International
one. "
The promoters of ths new movement have
been driven to adopt the alternative suggested
by Mr. Gladstone , and will try to make the
demands of Ireland a subject for International
consideration.
Several hundred Irish-Americans have
pledged their sympathy and co-operation , and
the names are representative of every section
of the United States. Among them will b ?
found Hon. T. A. E. Wcadoclt of Day City ,

Inrtntor it Woodburr'i fucUl | The Omaha Daily Bee; Friday, May 8, 1895.
Icy thought it would be a grave error to admit the state depository bond of Mosher and Outcalt into evidence, as it would tend to confuse the legitimate issues of this case in the minds of the jury.
Judge Friday, representing ex-Treasurer Hill, took up the points advanced by Judge Walsh in their proper order. In regard to the depository bond per se, it was a noteworthy fact that counsel had not once in the course of his argument objected to the form of the bond under discussion. Therefore, he should, for purposes of this argument, take it that the depository bond is admitted by counsel for the state to be good. The state depository law became effective on and after January 5, 1893, and, according to the Judge emphatically, "If it ever was a penitentiary offense to put public moneys in a bank, it was not so thereafter." Under our statutes, the duties of a state treasurer are clearly laid down to be as follows: The receiving of state moneys, the paying of such warrants as may be presented, and the turning over to his successor of such balances as he may have on hand. The statute is silent as the grave in regard to any disposition to be made of state moneys by its treasurer. In Treasurer Hill's case, as in that of most other treasurers handling large sums of money, there was never at my time a dollar of this disputed sum in his possession in the form of cash. It was paper from the beginning to the end. If Treasurer Hill was guilty of embezzlement in handing over to his successor the Capital National bank's certificates of deposit for $23,600, then a multiplicity of other cases must necessarily arise from similar transactions on the part of his deputies throughout his term of office. The proposition must, as Judge Friday thought, carry its absurdity on its face to any man of ordinary common sense considered down to thought.
It was self-evident that Judge Walsh's argument was a legal fiction defense of Mosher, Outcalt, and their sureties on the depository bond, for if it is conceded that this bond is good, then further proceedings in this case are not only useless, but constitute an attack upon the official character of a man who has been shown to have acted in any other way than a wise and prudent man would act in the same premises.
The piece de resistance of the argument was supplied by Attorney John H. Ames, who took the place resigned by the previous speaker and requested permission to address himself to the particular point raised by the state, in reference to the alleged crime of depositing state moneys in banks prior to the passage of the depository law. The permission being granted, Mr. Ames said impressively:
"I am unable to find that this or any other court, under a statute such as ours, is under a bond such as the one upon which action is here brought, where the question has been brought directly into issue, has found that such deposit was in violation of the law, where it was made by the trustee of the funds, with the same care and prudence that he would bestow upon his own concerns in the ordinary course of business. I have been utterly unable to find that the responsibility of such treasurer, trustee, executor, agent, receiver, or administrator is other than that fixed by common law. Whatever responsibility there is other than that set down by common law must be fixed by statute. Now, if these gentlemen (waving a comprehensive hand in the direction of the array of counsel for the state) can impose a larger responsibility than that measured by common law, then they must do it through something they find in this book," and counsel dealt the heaviest blow to the harmlessly lying copy of the Nebraska statutes resting on the Counsel table before him a resounding blow.
After reading the provision of the statutes, Mr. Ames declared that but one construction can be placed upon it that the state still retains title to all moneys entrusted to it; treasurers, and does not regard those custodians as insurers of the funds they handle. The proof of the correctness of this construction lies, as he said, in the fact that the statute goes on to affix a penalty for the wrongful misapplication of its funds while they are temporarily out of its immediate control; whereas, if the treasurer is to be regarded as an actual insurer, from that moment to the expiration of the contract becomes to all practical purposes the owner of the funds be so insures. The policy of the state, under our statutes, is plainly and directly opposed to such a proposition.
Mr. Ames referred to the act requiring, but not state treasurer to keep not only the state's moneys in his own vaults, but also a complete record of every bill received by him. "That law," said he, "remained on the statute books exactly one year and seventeen days, and then they decided that they did not want the state treasurer to be insurer of the funds any longer and repealed the law. In 1866 an act was passed with reference to official bonds, but the original act was never altered until 1881, when it was re-enclosed for the purpose of fixing certain penalties. This act contemplates that all official bonds shall be obligatory on the principal and sureties that the official shall discharge his duties well and faithfully. Just what every trustee, every receiver, and every bailee is liable for under the common law, and just what Mr. Smith would have been liable for if he had never given any bond. In other words, it is the measure of his liability, and it means, if it means anything, that he shall use the same diligence in handling the state's moneys that he would exhibit in the care of his own affairs of moment."
Counsel here cited the case of the United States against Prescott, Thirteenth Howard, the first case so far as is shown by the books which it was over held that the receiver of public moneys giving a bond became the insurer of such moneys. In this case it was held down that nothing would satisfy the bond but currency. This opinion was very generally followed by other courts without very close examination of its merits, until Justice Miller in a case cited in Fifteenth Wallace, 337, held it to be bad law and repeated the declaring absolutely, holding that collectors and receivers of public moneys are bailees for the funds and only liable for acts of negligence or dishonesty. Prior to the opinion laid down in United States against Prescott there was no law in force other than that fixing the insurance of liability as the faithful performance of duty.
At this point, the Jurors were excused until 10 a.m. tomorrow. The only noteworthy incident of the afternoon was the slight illusion created by a Juror leaning back too far in his revolving chair, which gave way and caused him to turn a humiliating and uncontrollable somersault in the Jury box.

AJIB LANDED IN THE PEN
Nevada Officers Made an Effort to Keep Possession of the Prisoner,
WERE WORKING HIM FOR HIS MONEY
An exciting time and spirited association of articles of Incorporation Governor Holcomb was to attend.
Senator Allen's Silver Wedding.
LINCOLN, May 2. (Special.) Sheriff Kar naugh of Platte county, accompanied by Detective Burns, arrived in Lincoln this noon with the notorious Mike Lamb, whom they had rounded up in Nevada. The prisoner was immediately taken to the penitentiary and given a suit of stripes.
Lamb was a resident of Greeley county and was arrested in 1892 for cattle stealing, tried in D Jones county and sentenced to two years in the pen. His case was appealed to the supreme court and Lamb released on the condition of $2,500. He then disappeared and laid low for two years, or during the time for which he was sentenced, after which he reappeared in Platte county and was rearrested by Sheriff Kar naugh in December, 1894. Subsequently, a county judge decided that Lamb could not be held, his term of imprisonment having expired. On June 1, 1891, a writ of mandamus was issued against Sheriff Kar naugh and the county judge to compel them to produce Lamb for imprisonment.
About three weeks ago Sheriff Kar naugh received a letter from Sheriff Wright of Ogden, Utah, paying that he had Lamb in custody, and asking Kar naugh if he wanted him. Kar naugh replied that he did and would come for him, and that all expenses would be paid.
HAD AN EXCITING TIME.
Today the Platte county sheriff was seen at the Capital hotel, where he had just eaten dinner, after having got the slippery Lamb safely off his hands. He was feeling considerably relieved, and to a Bee reporter told its every detail. He said that he started for Ogden a week ago last Monday. Arriving there he found that Lamb had been taken to Battle Mountain, Nev., by a deputy sheriff on some other charge, and Sheriff Kar naugh went there. He found Lamb, arrested him and attempted to put him aboard a train. This attempt was resisted, and, although Kar naugh had a requisition from Governor Holcomb, he was accused of impersonating an officer and was himself arrested and taken to Winnemucca, on the Southern Pacific railroad. Meanwhile, the Nevada authorities held on to Lamb. The latter had some $3,000 and was putting it up to assist in defeating the attempts of Kar naugh to get him out of the state. Finally, Kar naugh got word to Carson and secured a warrant for Lamb's arrest, and went back to Battle Mountain. Here he got the case into the district court and the judge dismissed the case, remanding Lamb to the custody of Kar naugh. Kar naugh at once wired Attorney General Churchill, and all the necessary arrangements were made for the transportation of himself, Detective Burns and Lamb to Lincoln. Burns had been sent out by the state of Nebraska to assist Kar naugh, but it was not found necessary for him to take any very active part in the affair. Sheriff Kar naugh says the whole delay was caused by an attempt to "shake down" Lamb for what money he had, and as much more as it was possible to secure from other parties. Sheriff Kar naugh, Burns and Lamb left Battle Mountain last Monday.
SIMILAR CASE AT LINCOLN.
Almost the exact counterpart of the details of this case occurred in Lincoln last fall when Sheriff Auble of Los Angeles was detained here six weeks. He was after a man named Van Selver, charged with having embezzled $1,600 from a Los Angeles lady. Auble was arrested for impersonating an officer, and once was assaulted by a couple of constables. Van Selver's case finally went to the supreme court and the prisoner was handed over to Sheriff Auble.
The Omaha Fair and Speed association filed articles of Incorporation today with the secretary of state. The capital stock is $150,000. The object of the organization is stated to be for the purpose of erecting buildings, race tracks and holding fairs. The incorporators include Z. T. Lindsey, Dan Farrell, John A. Wakefield, George N. Hicks, George W. Holly, V. S. Halduff and J. E. Dunn. The officers are: Z. T. Lindsey, president; Dan Farrell, vice president; Frank B. Brown, treasurer; John A. Wakefield, secretary. The office of the company is room 320, Bee building.
Governor Holcomb and wife left Lincoln today for Madison to participate in the celebration of the silver wedding of United States Senator Allen and wife. The anniversary promises to be a very brilliant affair.
Mrs. Caroline Ludden, mother of Rev. Luther P. Ludden, died this morning at 8 o'clock. Her death was due to heart disease and was unexpected, as yesterday she seemed in a fair way of recovery. She had been ill for three weeks. Deceased was 87 years of age. Funeral services will be held next Saturday.

Two weeks ago 1,000 invitations were sent out, to which a very general and heart-felt response was returned in the shape of valuable presents and well wishes.
This morning the guests began arriving by every train, Governor Holcomb and his family coming on the evening train. The whole town and country, regardless of politics, turned out to greet and welcome the senator's many friends. The governor was met at the depot by carriages, bands of music and a large concourse of people. Flags were unfurled upon all public buildings, and everyone seemed deeply engaged in the endeavor to honor their fellow townsman and the notable occasion that brought his friends together.
The crowd that attended in the evening was very large, numbering about 600 or 700. The array of presents was very fine, numbering 200 or 300. They were rich and varied, coming from all parts of the United States, representing all classes of people.
The occasion will be one long to be remembered not only by the senator and his estimable wife, but by everyone who enjoyed their hospitality. No more congenial host and hostess could be found and every phase of the occasion was an entire success.
Tomorrow at Senator Allen's home the Board of Education, the corps of teachers and the pupils of the public schools will give a reception to Governor Holcomb and his staff.

HOWE'S CO. TIMBER IN MARKET.
Another Deluging Rain Sweeps Over Certain Parts of the State.
PHILADELPHIA, Neb., May 2. (Special.) Another deluging rain swept over this part of the country last night, accompanied by heavy thunder and hail. The country is flooded, though an examination this morning shows the furrows to the depth of three feet. Corn planting, which is well along, will be delayed for a day or two. Small grain looks fine. Some corn is already up and shows a good stand.
LINWOOD, Neb., May 2. (Special.) The recent rains of the last few days are very encouraging to farmers and all classes of business men. The small grain, which was beginning to feel the dry weather, is now in excellent condition, and the ground is in better shape for corn. A few farmers are sowing small fields of sugar beets this year, instigated by the advanced prices paid by the factories, due to the bounty. Should this year's crop prove a success financially, it is safe to say next year will see the acreage greatly increased.
FARHAN, Neb., May 2. (Special.) Looking rains for two successive nights have thoroughly saturated the ground. Corn planting is progressing rapidly, and most of the corn ground will be planted by May 10. The acreage in the county will be about ten percent greater than last year. During the storm Tuesday night, the farmhouse of Thomas Jaques, two miles from the city, was struck by lightning and badly wrecked. None of the family were hurt except a young child, whose face was covered with sand, thrown from the plastering. Physicians removed forty-seven pieces of coarse sand from its cheek.
Pierce, Neb., May 2. (Special.) Another soaking rain fell last night and this morning. It is estimated that about three inches of water fell. The subsoil is now thoroughly soaked and farmers are confident that a good crop of small grain is assured, respects for corn were never better in the history of the state. The big acreage of small grain now shows green and thrifty and more corn is being planted than ever before.
SURPRISE, Neb., May 2. (Special.) A heavy rain fell here last night. Everyone is feeling good.
St. Paul, Neb., May 2. (Special.) Another fine shower fell here last night. About one inch of water has fallen during the last two days, and puts grain and grass in fine growing condition. Farmers are now getting ready to plant corn, some having already commenced.
ORD, Neb., May 2. (Special.) After several days of threatening weather, this section was visited with a series of heavy showers Tuesday afternoon and evening, which has given the entire county a good soaking. Today there was another heavy rain, with more in prospect. Small grain never looked better at this season of the year and farmers, as a consequence, are very hopeful of the future.
ARCADEIA, Neb., May 2. (Special.) Another inch of water fell Monday evening. The ground is wet deeper than it has been for two years. Crops never looked better. All kinds of vegetation is fifteen to twenty days ahead of time. Nearly all the cultivated land is being farmed here.
TEKAMAH, Neb., May 2. (Special.) The copious showers of the past week continue to encourage Platte county people, who are now sanguine of a mammoth crop as of yore. The wind accompanying the rain Tuesday unroofed the hog sheds of the Agricultural society and blew down some trees and a hay barn in Tekamah.
WINSIDE, Neb., May 2. (Special.) The fine rain which fell Tuesday night increased the general good feeling in this county.
FREMONT, May 2. (Special.) The past season has been very severe on trees, especially elms and maples. Fully one-tenth of the elm and maple shade trees that line the streets are either dead or nearly so. Trees fifteen or twenty years old fared worse than those set out within the past three or four years.
FULLERTON, Neb., May 2. (Special.) At 6:30 last evening a heavy rain set in, which continued unabated for three hours. This vicinity has not had such a rain for these years as came last evening, and this following the heavy rain which fell Monday night, has certainly soaked the ground thoroughly. Hay lands and pastures are looking fine.
PLATTSMITH CAN CAUGHT IN THE ACT,
Blair, Neb., May 2. (Special Telegram.) Night Policeman Doughty caught a burglar last night while in the act of drilling into the safe of O.V. Palmer & Co.'s store. There were two of the robbers, but one got away, as the officer could not get any assistance in time. It was about 2:30 a.m. The man caught gives his name as James Davis and says he is just from Sioux City. The police say he is an old hand at the business. The robbers had a full kit of tools, part of which was left and is in the hands of the police.
Part of the Law with Repealed.
Lincoln, May 2. (Special.) In the pamphlet copy of the District and General Irrigation law, issued by the secretary of state, it is stated (page 33) that sections 2,032a and 2,034 of the St. Raynor Irrigation law of 1889 were not repealed by the recent legislation. This is in part erroneous. The first-named section was repealed. It reads as follows: Section 2,032a. Any canal constructed for the purpose of developing water power or any other useful purpose, and from which water can be taken for Irrigation, is hereby declared to be an Irrigation canal and all laws relating to Irrigation canals shall be deemed applicable thereto. It is stated in official circles here that the above section was repealed by the Douglas county canal law.
S.P. Young Seriously Hurt.
Broken Bow, Neb., May 2. (Special Telegram.) S.P. Young, a prominent farmer of Lomax, was seriously, if not fatally, hurt at Oconto.

Will Begin Bottling as Soon as Plans Are Completed.
HE ASKS FOR MANY MORE POLICE
If that Is Not Sufficient to Enable the Agent
to Enforce the Orders of the Government,
Troops Will Be Replaced.
PENDER, Neb., May 2. (Special Telegram.) Captain Heck was completing a letter to the commissioner of Indian affairs at Washington today when The Bee man unexpectedly walked into his private office at the agency. In this communication, he made an official request for better equipment, and asked for fifty new uniforms for a contemplated increase in his Indian police force. He also stated the present feeling of resistance to his police and urged that the Indian police should be placed in a better position for future service in enforcing governmental instructions. Subsequently, in an interview, Captain Heck verified the rumor that he had temporarily delayed evictions, but emphatically denied the report that he had surrendered. On the contrary, he said that within a few weeks, as soon as he was thoroughly equipped, he would resume the eviction of all tenants whose leases he believed to be illegal, and that he would attempt these evictions with the Indian police, whose number would be increased to fifty in an Indian police force. If that number was unequal to the emergency, he would then use troops, as he had practically been assured by the government that he would have all the backing necessary to enforce orders in this respect. The captain announced that many of the Flournoy tenants having failed to take advantage of the opportunity to sign new leases with the government, he had made leases with twenty-five new applicants, and the latter would surely be placed in possession, while the others would be ejected. Regarding the loss of crops just planted by Flournoy tenants, he said that the latter had been notified in January, 1895, that their leases were illegal. Crops planted since then were thus a defiance. It would result in loss of labor, which should not have been performed in view of the warning.
FAVORED HABEAS CORPUS.
Captain Beck's letter book contained an impression of services to Special District Attorney Breckenridge, dated April 30, urging immediate application for a writ of habeas corpus for Elk and Blackhawk, the captured policemen who were voluntarily liberated from the Pender jail today by the county authorities, one day in advance of the expiration of their sentence. The writ was not served. The policemen reached the agency at noon and were heartily welcomed by the Indians.
Captain Beck was called upon today to settle a quarrel among his Indian police men, two of whom resigned. Henry French is the present chief, but George Rice Hill and Jim Bird had ambitions to succeed him, and it developed into such a bitter contest for the place that the captain's intervention was essential for harmony. Henry French will remain commander for the present, but when the increased force is perfected and evictions commence, one of the employees at the agency, presumably John Beck or Tom Sloan, will be succeeded in charge during the contemplated enforcement of Washington advice. French will be made police captain, but the federal law gives Beck authority to appoint an experienced chief of police.
The captain has been very busy clearing up his routine and has abandoned his trip to Omaha. Mrs. Beck, however, will leave for Chicago Saturday for a two weeks' visit.
WILL WEST, LEMMON.
The Indian agent today announced his intention to have S. Lemmon, president of the Flournoy committee, arrested for violation of a certain federal statute. Captain Beck anticipates resistance to his police when evictions are made. He is preparing for action, but will make no movement for a few weeks. He admitted this to the reporter and insisted that he was right in the present controversy.
Sheriff Mullin reached the agency at 9 o'clock today. His arrival created excitement among the Indians. The sheriff was after Charles Bonaparte, a Winnebago, for whom he had a warrant for assault on Henry Rice. When the sheriff's mission became known, Bonaparte made a break for a clump of wood in the rear of Ashford's trading post and went into hiding. Captain Beck advanced, shook hands cordially with the sheriff and ordered the Indian police to assist the county officer in the arresting of Bonaparte in view of the fact that it was a state case. Bonaparte was promptly placed in custody and landed in the Pender jail.
Henry Rice, his victim, was found in the steps of Bear Skin near the Dakota county line. He was in a serious condition, suffering from an ugly wound in his head. Blood poisoning sets in, the post doctor believes he is doomed to die, but the constant attention of his relatives may save him. Bonaparte has a broken wrist as a reminder of one of the liveliest personal encounters that ever occurred on the reservation. The combatants got three gallons of pugnacious whisky at Homer and had two fights in one night with a bloody sequel.

INSIDE, Neb., May 2. (Special.) The greatest social event in the history of Winside occurred last evening at the silver wedding of County Commissioner A.H. Carter.

This was followed by a short program of speeches, poems and songs, when the hall was turned into a ball room and dancing claimed the attention until a late hour. The Wayne orchestra furnished excellent music during the banquet and for the ball. Mr. and Mrs. Carter are among the earliest settlers in Winside and deservedly popular.
AUGUST EXTRAS EDITORIAL
"Say the Story Concerning a Combination in the infint: Are Kililengon."
CHICAGO, May 2. Philip D. Armour denied yesterday emphatically the assertion that a trust be exists and that it be composed of a combination of the firms of Armour & Co., Nelson Morris & Co., and Swift & Co. "It is perfectly astonishing," said Mr. Armour, "that this craze is so wide spread and there are so many believers that there is a beef trust. I say with all sincerity that Armour & Co. did not make any money in the beef business during the year 1894, and up to the present time 1895 has proved equally bad. We are not doing one-half of our usual business. There seems to be a boycott against beef and this craze has hurt the trade beyond expression. There was never a more senseless canard put afloat. There never has been any understanding directly or indirectly between Swift, Morris and Armour in buying their cattle or in selling their beef and I would be careful to note to say this were it not literally true."
DAMAGE FOR ILLEGAL BLACKLISTING
KANSAS CITY, May 2 - Frank M. Ball, formerly chief yard clerk for the Missouri Pacific railway at this point, brought suit against that corporation in the circuit court today to recover $15,000 damages. Ball claims that he has been blacklisted by the Missouri Pacific railway and that it is using its influence to prevent him from obtaining employment, and that twice falsely that time he has secured positions and lost them through the interference of officials of that road.
COMMITTEE ON THE MANUFACTURE QUESTION
ST. LOUIS, May 2. Very excellent arrangements have been made by the St. Louis Women's Christian Temperance union for the Mississippi Valley congress of women which meets here today at the First Congregational church and continues for two days. An interesting and instructive program has been mapped out, principally made up of addresses by such advocates of women's rights and women's suffrage as Susan B. Anthony, president of the National Suffrage association; Rev. Anna Shaw, vice president of the National Suffrage association; Mrs. Catherine P. Wallace, Woman's Christian Temperance union worker for New Zealand; Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman, recording secretary of the National Woman's Christian Temperance union, and many others of national prominence. The badge selected for this occasion is yellow and white ribbon, fastened together by two bright stars - the yellow being the equal suffrage color, and the white ribbon the Woman's Christian Temperance union badge. The two stars represent Wyoming and Colorado, where women have full suffrage.
The church in which the convention is being held was hung with national colors, and the platform profusely decorated with flowers and potted plants. Among the flags were several very noticeable ones in the blue field of which there were only two stars. This was the new women's suffrage flag and the two stars represented the two states in the union Colorado and Wyoming in which female suffrage prevails.
It was after 10 o'clock when Mrs. F.H. Ingalls, president of the St. Louis district of the Women's Christian Temperance union, called the congress to order. About 200 delegates were present, mostly from this and adjoining states, but among them were several delegates from the local Roman Catholic Women's Christian Temperance union. A consecration service led by a local member of the Women's Christian Temperance union was the first thing on the program. When this was concluded a motion made by a local delegate that all the men present be admitted to the floor as delegates, if so desired, precipitated an interesting discussion pro and con, but as those in favor of it were in the majority, it prevailed.
The remainder of the morning session was taken up with the introduction of the more prominent delegates present and short addresses by them. When Miss Susan B. Anthony, president of the National Suffrage association, appeared, she was received with wild applause, to which she responded with a few well-chosen words. Among the other prominent ladies presented were Rev. Anna Shaw, Mrs. Catherine P. Wallace of New Zealand; Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman, recording secretary of the National Women's Christian Temperance union; Rev. Frances Jenkins, Kansas City; Mrs. S.F. Grubb, national Women's Christian Temperance union superintendent of foreign work; Miss Carrie Lee Carter, lecturer National Women's Christian Temperance union and Mrs. L.B. Lake, president of the Roman Catholic Women's Christian Temperance union.
At the afternoon session the following addresses were made: "Women's Work for Women," Rev. Frances Jenkins; "Ten Minutes with the Antipodes," Mrs. Catherine P. Wallace; "Moral Influence vs. Political Power," Miss Susan B. Anthony; "Requisites for Citizenship in a Republic," Mrs. S.F. Grubb.
A CIVILIAN BOOK IS MISSING, TOO
In whose transaction for the present amount unknown quantity.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2. The mystery of Bookkeeper Charles Smith, who vanished on Sunday from the office of McGlaughlin & Co., grain buyers, has not yet been unraveled. It is said that his disappearance has some connection with the investigation of the Fair wheat deal.
James S. Angus, Fair's confidential man, has admitted that the deceased millionaire furnished McGlaughlin & Co. funds with which to purchase the wheat now stored at the Port Costa warehouse. He has stated, so it is said, that in some instances McGlaughlin & Co. presented written orders signed by Fair and in other instances they came with verbal orders for money. When the verbal orders were given Angus always went to Fair and asked him if it was all right, and upon receiving the reply that it was, the money called for was paid over.
When the attorneys for Mrs. Herman Ostrich and Miss Virginia Fair commenced their inquiry as to how much of the ex-senator's money had been invested in wheat, Mr. Angus made no objection to Mr. Lloyd looking over his books, but when it came to comparing the accounts of Mr. Angus with the accounts of McGlaughlin & Co., there was a mysterious disappearance of Smith and an account book of the year when the big wheat deal was engineered disappeared with him.
Mr. Lloyd, one of the attorneys, positively declines to speak about his examination of the books of Mr. Angus, but it now transpires that he is searching for books, which if found will show more orders on file for money with which to buy wheat, some of which are dated at times when Fair was not in the city. The attorneys for the Fair women are eagerly anxious to find out where Smith is, and they are having a search made for him themselves. While none of the parties interested in the litigation over the Fair estate will admit that McGlaughlin's bookkeeper cuts any figure in their interest, yet they are all eager to find out something about him.
In her suit against George Gould, her agent, her loss is given as $40,000. The papers in the case were filed this morning in the office of the clerk of the supreme court of New Jersey. The papers aver that the plaintiff was in possession of a check or deposit certificate of the value of $40,000 and that this certificate, which she afterward lost in Jersey City, was found by Gould who has refused to return it although repeatedly asked to do so. She then charges that Gould has fraudulently converted the certificate to his own use. The petition sets out that the plaintiff is only 19 years old and a minor and asks that the court appoint Lawyer Alexander Simpson as her next friend, to prosecute the suit. The court grants the request. Gould must file his answer within thirty days from the time the summons was served. The summons was served on Gould at Communnipaw last week.
At a conference of the supreme officers of the Knights of Pythias, it was decided to wage war on the seceders from the order who have started "the Improved Order Knights of Pythias." Chancellor Commander Ritchie was in doubt about the wisdom of bringing on a fight, but the other supreme officers insisted that no quarter should be given.
The Improved Order Knights of Pythias had its origin in the action of the last supreme lodge in deciding that hereafter the ritual of the order shall be printed in the English language only and that the English language only shall be used in the secret work of the order. The German-speaking members of the order took affront and established the new order, which authorizes the establishment of both English-speaking and German-speaking lodges.
Rev. Charles Parkhurst will sail for Europe on June 1, to be gone until September 1. For several years past his vacations have been spent in Switzerland. This time he will go to Russia. "I like," he said last night, "to study new social and economic conditions. Europe is pretty much like America in these conditions, though in Holland one sees some different modes of life. In Russia the conditions are entirely distinct. I want to see them. Mrs. Parkhurst and I will go to London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Vienna, and then into Switzerland. That is the country I like best of all in Europe. The scenery is grand beyond description. We shall stay at Vevey.
"I shall be glad to get away from politics and turmoil, yet it always seems good to 'UR HUMAN ITIS.'
A movement has been set on foot to hold a convention of Irish-Americans in one of the large cities at an early date. A number of gentlemen who have been prominent in the Irish cause, and who are of various schools of political thought, have come to the conclusion that the time has come for Irish-Americans to inaugurate a new and bolder policy in the interest of Irish Independence. The agitation known as the Parnell or Parliamentary movement, as far as Irish nationality is concerned, is dead. The home rule question has been ruled out of practical British politics by the British people. The new movement abides by the decision, as far as the further prosecution of parliamentary agitation is concerned, but determines to keep the flag of Irish Independence still flying and will devote itself to forcing the Irish question on the attention of the world in such a manner as will inevitably compel a settlement more satisfactory to Ireland than any heretofore offered by any British Parliament. Mr. Gladstone said, in moving his home rule bill: "If, therefore, the resistance to this measure were to be bitter, obstinate, and prolonged, the question of repeal might finally become an international one."
The promoters of the new movement have been driven to adopt the alternative suggested by Mr. Gladstone, and will try to make the demands of Ireland a subject for international consideration.
Several hundred Irish-Americans have pledged their sympathy and cooperation, and the names are representative of every section of the United States. Among them will be found Hon. T. A. E. Weedcroft of Detroit, Mich.; M. J. Murphy, Detroit, Mich.; Hon. O'Driscoll E. Atkins, Fort Gratiot, Mich.; O'Neill Hylan, Andrew Holland, and J. J. O'Connor, St. Louis, Mo.; Hon. John Fitzgerald, mayor of New Orleans; T. Mortimer, New Orleans; Hon. Maurice F. Neville, ex-president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and Patrick O'Neill of Philadelphia; Thomas Greevy, John O'Toole, and Mayor S. H. Hogan of Altoona, Pa.; Hon. M. Cooney and Dr. M. C. O'Toole, San Francisco; Hon. William J. Gleason and Captain Patrick Smith, Cleveland, O.; Senator P. V. Fitzgerald, Frank Agnew, and John F. Finerty, Chicago; Chris A. Gallagher, Minneapolis; Maurice Donnelly, Indianapolis; John Guthrie, Wilmington, Del.; William Lynam and John P. Button of the Irish National League of America; M. H. Gallagher, a prominent Land League worker, and M. J. Langan, New York; John J. Carroll, Brooklyn; Thomas J. Dundon, ex-national treasurer of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Columbus, O.; James Kilpatrick and M. Martin, Nashville, Tenn.; Hon. C. T. Driscoll and Hon. David Callaghan, New Haven, Conn.; Patrick T. Moran, Washington; J. H. Vaughn, West Superior, Wis.; Michael Mangan, Fond du Lac, Wis.; J. M. Leonard, Fall River, Mass.; P. J. Judge, Holyoke, Mass., and a large number of others. Men from the most distant points, including such cities as Seattle, Tacoma, and Los Angeles and the various centers in Montana, Idaho, and Colorado, have signified their intention of being present at the meeting.
All are unanimous that the proposed movement is not only opportune, but a positive necessity for the Irish cause.
The new bishop of Vera Cruz, the Illustrious Reverend Father Pagaza, has been consecrated with all the pomp and display of the church. The beautiful and almost regal temple of La Profesa was decorated only as Mexican artists could. Archbishop Alarcón, head of the Roman Catholic church in Mexico, pontificated and noted as director general of ceremonies. The bishops of Puebla and Tampico assisted the archbishop, together with over 200 priests. Full celebrations of churchmen were also present. The full ritual of the church was used, and the singers were accompanied by the renowned cathedral orchestra. The procession was a magnificent spectacle.

No longer a terror of the hard worker, "While Piano's Celeric Compound Exists."
One of the clearest, most complexioned, best-looking men in Boston today, says the Boston Globe, is a prominent New England agent of a great railroad, who uses Piano's celery compound spring and fall, and whose wife and children take it daily during the spring months.
Mr. N. J. Grace of the Grand Trunk is a modest man, one of the best liked gentlemen in Boston and a thorough railroad man. When asked about the merits of Piano's celery compound, he said he believed in it thoroughly, had used it himself and in his family for two years with the most gratifying results.
"My boys are using it now," he said, "and I believe there is no better spring medicine than Piano's celery compound. A touch of rheumatism had urged me to try it, and times after that, when run down, at most every one is at intervals through the year. I found that it revived the vital spark and made me feel better. Never in all my experience among men have I heard a remedy so highly spoken of. Friends of mine have used it with splendid results for dyspepsia and liver complaints, while for insomnia, a neighbor of mine tells me that it will banish it in a night."
Mr. Grace is one of the healthiest-looking men to be met with in Boston today. For fully thirty years, he has been with the Grand Trunk, yet in all his life, he never felt better or enjoyed more freedom from pain than he does today. He is one of the thousands in this city who have reason to believe in Piano's celery compound.

Yesterday afternoon witnessed a most aus
picious opening of the championship base
ball season In Omaha for 1893 , and aH a con-
Beaiiciicc the goose Is suspended at a very
high altitude.
The weather was charming , the crowd
large , and the game brilliant , exciting nnd
cll played , especlallly on the part of the
Walsh family.
Them was n good deal of apprehension
felt during the morning , owing to the om
inous aspect of the weather. The sky was
veiled with leaden clouds , and there was a
humid flnccldlty that suggested rain. The
average fan was on needles. He couldn't en
dure the thought of having the opening
game postponed for rain , and many n so
licitous glance was cast heavenward dur
ing the dragging hours of the morning ,
nut , for the nonce , Old Jupiter Pluv was
gracious. Ho had frowned merely to give
the cranko a scare , and Instead of pulling
the string to the celestial bath tub he got
n hustle on about lunch time arid shoved all
the threatening nebula off over the horizon ,
leaving an expanse of sky of an Italian hue
o'crspreadlng the budding earth , amidst a
deluge of spring sunshlno warm enough to
bake a hen.
Hut It was base ball weather , arid almost
Instantly the city took on a most lively and
exhilarating air People came out onto
the streets like the little busy bee In a field
of blooming clover , and there was much re
joicing nnd congratulation and n scurrjlng
to and fro , with Handle's pipe foundry as
a gravitating point.
There Is where the parade formed , a glit
tering pageant , composed of the OJd Fellows'
band arid i. long line of barouches' , contain
ing the two teams In uniform , the city and
county ofllclals , military heroes , medical lu
minaries , bankers , lawyers and newspaper
curiosities.
In the long procession of great men I
noticed Mayor IJcrnls , with benignant smile
nnd snow-capped dome , along with the muni
cipal solons , Calm , Howell , Mercer , Ken-
nard , Gordon , Holmes , Lomly , niirkley , Edwards -
wards , Kment and Taylor ; then there was
City Clerk HlRby. City Treasurer llolln ,
Building Inspector Deverlll , Holler Inspec
tor Loudenberg , City Electrician Schurlg ,
License Inspector Hurst , Assistant Treas
urer Fead , Sergeant-at-Arms Planck , Com
missioners lialcombc and Kasper , Secretary
Powers of the Hoard of Public Works , Police
Commlslsoners Coburn , Hartnian and Strlck-
ler , County Treasurer trey , Sheriff Urexel ,
Coroner Maul , County Clerk Sackett and
Hon. Peter Elsasscr. Of course there were
others , but these were th3 great men on ex
hibition.
. From the moment the long line was In
motion the whole metropolis was fairly be
side Itself with the glories of the national
game , and you couldn't distinguish anything
amidst the marlginoui murmur that swelled
upon the air but base hits , runs and outs
The molormen , the newsboys , bootblacks and
chop house habltuee ; In fact , almost every
body gave everthing the go-by to discuss
the Walsh family chances with the husky
brown-clad cohorts from Qulncy.
OUT AT THE PAIUC.
By 3 o clock the Charles Street park pre
sented a stirring picture. The blue sky ,
sunehlnc and starting grass made a back
ground to the study that was entrancing In
deed. The stands wera crowded with gay
spring bonnets and vernal raiment of hun
dreds of ladles , all of which shows what a
hold the glorious sport Is getting1 upon the
gentler ex. Each fair attendant was pre
sented with a souvenir picture and a bouquet
as she pissed In at the gate. On either
side the bleachers were Jammed with eager
faced men and bojs , and altogether the
throng was a magnificent one.
At 3:30 : Mayor Denils , with his bonnet In
his hand , made his appearance In the open
space In front of the grand stand , and In a
few well chosen words welcomed the II-
tlnolsans , and then after n paragraph or two
of advice and encouragement to the Omahogs ,
ho tossed a brand new ball to Umpire Ward
and the game was , ready for tapping.
And It was a great one. In harmony with
all the Inaugural concomitants , and better
than all , Omnlia won.
livery man phyed good ball , even unto
llttlp Willie O'Hrlen , who as yet has had
no opportunity to limber up his symmetrical
limbs , or get the corn cobs out of his hair.
Hill IS fresh from the farm , where he has
been grazing through the hyperborean
months. Sundry representatives of the
Qulncy team were aso | on hand , but some *
hdw or other they became lost In tha shuf
fle. When not engaged In chasing two-
baggers nnd oth'r speedy vegetables over
the velvety outfield , they were slicing the
Jocund atmosphere Into railroad kandwlches
and expending their brawn In wild and de
lirious stabs at the warp and woof that Louis
Napoleon Halsz was weaving across the rub
ber plate.
When the battle was over hut eight of
the Quinces had succcded In sKatlng around
the bases , while no less than fifteen of the
Walshes had made the pilgrimage.
Grasshopper Ulrlch picked up his war club
ind strode to the plate. Ills face was full
of emotion nnd llnccut tobacco , The popu
lace clapped Its hands and flopped Its lungs.
Everylwdy expected Georglo to do some
thing , nnd he did. He rapped a warm ono
flown to McCormack. Mack made an erratic.il
match at It with his left hand , and then his
right. Then he attempted to Jump on It ,
and when he did finally connect and hurl It
Dver to Ptek-a-Boo Veach , the Grasshopper
nas preening his feathers on the bag !
Seeing that ho was easy. Old Hutch like
wise sent ono down to McCormack , nnd In
his rnnddlng ambition to ntone fcr his first
blunder Mack threw this one clear over
Pcek-a-Iloo's fair young head The Grast-
hopper swarmed homo , while Old Hutch
reached third.
Manager Hrackctt arose hastily from his
teat on the bench A foreboding had pene
trated his thoralc department and his mug
nas filled with pain He looked as If he
nould lIKe to go and chloroform himself and
Ircam that he was born dead.
Colonel Shaffer was not so fortunate ns his
predeceisors , He was blotted out at first.
Out Willie O'Brien was coming.
WILLIE MADE A SINGLE.
Prcbably next to himself Willie Is the
itrongcst evidence and ( lie brightest example
now living of what may be done by an am
bitious joiing man when he tries.
He made two slashes In quick suction at
! he bill , and missed It both times , Then he
itruck n Kansas City attitude , looked at
llr , Nichols and seemd to bo contemplating.
Df ccurse this was all assumed , A base ball
player never contemplates , because he has
adlilng to contemplate with. Hut he soaked
her. It vas a clean single , the first of the
pa me , nnd on It Old Hutch scored. Then
Lehman nnd Slagle were extinguished and
the Quinces carna In.
Merles faced Louis Napoleon resolutely ,
md as a reward was allowed to walk. Hut
It was a short promcnaJe , fcr on Mr. Strong-
iri's tap down to Old Hutch both runners
ivre doubled up In pig style.
Tint was tail p'a > lng.
Jack Fsrrtll thtn came along with a hit ,
ul In attempting to steal he was cruelly
ind rudely thrutt aiide by n t'gbtnlng throw
of Petle Lohnian'e.
Irr the tetond thno eld pardi , Paddy Miles
ind Ignatius Donnelly , a pair ot A. P. A.'s ,
furnished easy cuti , Nick throw Paddy out
it flnt ind Sammy Li Rocqu did a like
'avor for the author ot Kag-nn-Ilock.

moon.
In their half the Qulncys made their first
tally ,
McCormack made a two-bapKer , nnd he wag
cheered. The crowd know that It required
a good deal of genuine courage for a man
to appear humorous nnd sparkling otter a
couple ot Innings like Man had played , and
hey meant to encourage htm.
Uoland brought him In on a hit and the ex-
Itrmerit ceased , as Ho was switched oft at
lecond by Miles. Slavic mndo circus catch
f Illckey's fly oud La llocquc fouled out to
ur Pete.
TOUGH ON HAIWY nUACKUTT.
Tor tlio Walsh family a base on balls to
Shufe , an error by La Kocquc and a scion-
Iflu bunt by Lohrnan filled the basoa. The
rottd was wild and so was Brackott. He
arose from his seat and then cat down ngaln
ml when NIckoU plugged Single with the
ball nnd forced Shafe In he was seen In a
hcattd controversy with himself. What fu
: uio generations may say about Mr. Nichols'
.ntelllgetico nn. ! statesmanship I know not ,
but I nm positive Colonel Hracketf * remarks
regarding his pitching ability will be any-
ilnK but complimentary.
Mllog then hit to the pitcher and Wllllo was
killed at the plate , and on Donnelly's hit to
licltcy a like fate befell Pete ; but still the
ba 'i were full , with Louis Napoleon once
moru at the bat.
Nichols quailed before him , His throat
was becoming parched nnd hu had an Indis
tinct Idei tlmt ho was not deporting himself
with tlmt dignity and lucidity for which Mr.
Ilrackett had hircl him. He nerved himself
nnd aimed a liner at Louis' left eir , but LouU
was on the alert nnd ho caught It a whsck
that left a blue dado nil around the horizon
of the park It WKA only a "Ingle , but both
Slnglo tnd Miles scored.
The Quinces cams right back with two
runs , and In the fourth , after Omaha had
garnered her seventh tally on hits by Shaf
fer , O'Brien and Lohmnn , they retaliated
with a gob of three , within one of tying the
score. Hut that was the nearest they over
came to accomplishing this feat , and after
that they were not dangerous nt any point
In the road. To clinch the thing , the
Omahas gathered themselves together once
more In the seventh Inning and fairly stuffed
the early summer zenith with balls.
They had been finding Mr Nichols' curves
with refreshing frequency , and in this Inning
Peter Lehman flitted to the willow like n
fair fragrant posy from the wlldwood glen
torn. He glued his gieat fawn-like eyes to
the ball and rammed his club down Its open
mouth. It burned a hole In the middle of
the afternoon , and Pctlo new over the uni
verse clear to flist base , only to bo forced
out at second by Single , Paddy Miles sallied
forth and welted the ball out into the cast ,
where a cluster of lace-like cloudlets floated
as In a dream. He landed on second. Then
Ignatius said something In a low , cooing
voice , and also leant up against the ball for
a pair of bags. Ilalsz went to first on a
fumble by Hlckcy , while Ulrlch and Old
Hutch hit for a pillow apiece.
You should have seen Manager George
Washington Urockctt , and looked Into the
mysterious workings of his face. He had
been watching the Omahas bend forward one
after another nnd lambaste Mr. Nichols with
their terrible clubs , nnd when the Grasshopper
galloped In with the fifth run that wns too
much. Ho wrinkled his brow up like the lid
of a hair trunk , nnd then sat down and burled
his face In his hands. He wept.
After the game was over Uncle Dave took
It up In his hands and caressed It like a little
red baby. He smoothed Its curls and stroked
Its cheeks , then ho wrapped it up In an old
newspaper , took It home , and varnished It
and burled It behind the barn.
In conclusion , let me repeat that It was
a great game and a great championship open
ing. All of the Omahas played fine ball.
Miles coming In for an especial share of
adulation. Old Hutch , too , was much In ev
idence , and Ulrlch , Lehman , O'Hrlen and
Shaffer. Halsz's pitching was gilt-edged , and
the umpiring of Mr. Ward parexcsllenco It
self. As to the Qulncvs , they were consider
ably off , yet It Is evident that they ore a
formidable aggregation , and will bo up In
the race at the end. Score :

SIOUX CITY , May 2.-Some Interesting
facts In connection with the recent Strange
trials hro were brought out on th ? public > -
tlon this morning of the schedule of bills al
lowed ] at the April session of the board of
supervisors , At the January term of court
cx-Suporvlsor Walter Strange was tiled on
the charge ot obtaining money by false pre
tenses. The state BUbpoemiM about fifty wit
nesses and Strange about COO. The case wets
tried and resulted In a disagreement of the
Jury. At the March term there was another
trial , at which the same witnesses wcro called
again. Strange was finally acquitted , and at
the conclusion ot the cases the presiding
judge ordered the payment of all the witnesses
subpoenaed. At the recent cession of the
county board all the fee claims were accord
ingly allowed. The published schedule shottH
that fully thrceifourths ot tha witnesses tub-
poenaeil by Strange wrro never put on the
stand. They drew fees , however , amounting
In the two cases to nearly $1,000. It was
developed that Strange purchased the fee
chlms of most of th'se witnesses at nominal
figures so that ho drew practically all this
money himself. It Is strongly Intimated tint
Strange- subpoenaed many witnesses for whom
there was no use , with the understanding
that ' he was to rcceivo the lion's share of
the fees , and that the witnesses , who were
mostly poor men , were to be paid for their
trouble with wlntever baline"1 rein lined after
Strange's sluro had come out. There mny
be an Investigation Into the matter.
The Credits Commutitlon company of this
city has closed contracts with the > Cmlahy

cerns agree to remain In Sioux City for the

Yesterday afternoon witnessed a most auspicious opening of the championship baseball season in Omaha for 1893, and as a consequence, the goose is suspended at a very high altitude.
The weather was charming, the crowd large, and the game brilliant, exciting and well played, especially on the part of the Walsh family.
There was a good deal of apprehension felt during the morning, owing to the ominous aspect of the weather. The sky was veiled with leaden clouds, and there was a humid faciality that suggested rain. The average fan was on needles. He couldn't endure the thought of having the opening game postponed for rain, and many a solicitous glance was cast heavenward during the dragging hours of the morning, but, for the nonce, Old Jupiter Pluvius was gracious. He had frowned merely to give the cranks a scare, and instead of pulling the string to the celestial bathtub, he got a hustle on about lunchtime and shoved all the threatening nebulae off over the horizon, leaving an expanse of sky of an Italian hue overspreading the budding earth, amidst a deluge of spring sunshine warm enough to bake a hen.
But it was baseball weather, and almost instantly the city took on a most lively and exhilarating air. People came out onto the streets like the little busy bee in a field of blooming clover, and there was much rejoicing and congratulation and a scurrying to and fro, with Handle's pipe foundry as a gravitating point.
There was where the parade formed, a glittering pageant, composed of the Old Fellows' band and a long line of barouches, containing the two teams in uniform, the city and county officials, military heroes, medical luminaries, bankers, lawyers, and newspaper curiosities.
In the long procession of great men, I noticed Mayor Denils, with benignant smile and snow-capped dome, along with the municipal solons, Calm, Howell, Mercer, Kennard, Gordon, Holmes, Lomely, markley, Edwards-Wards, Kment, and Taylor; then there was City Clerk HlRby, City Treasurer Hollin, Building Inspector Deverill, Holler Inspector Loudenberg, City Electrician Schurig, License Inspector Hurst, Assistant Treasurer Feid, Sergeant-at-Arms Planck, Commissioners Halcombe and Kasper, Secretary Powers of the Board of Public Works, Police Commissioners Coburn, Hartman, and Strickler, County Treasurer Treg, Sheriff Grnexel, Coroner Maul, County Clerk Sackett, and Hon. Peter Elassner. Of course, there were others, but these were the great men on exhibition.
From the moment the long line was in motion, the whole metropolis was fairly beside itself with the glories of the national game, and you couldn't distinguish anything amidst the magnanimous murmur that swelled upon the air but base hits, runs, and outs.
The motormen, the newsboys, bootblacks, and chop house habitues; in fact, almost everyone gave everything the go-by to discuss the Walsh family chances with the husky brown-clad cohorts from Quincy.
OUT AT THE PARK.
By 3 o'clock the Charles Street park presented a stirring picture. The blue sky, sunshine, and starting grass made a backdrop to the study that was entrancing indeed. The stands were crowded with gay spring bonnets and vernal raiment of hundreds of ladies, all of which showed what a hold the glorious sport is getting upon the gentler sex. Each fair attendant was presented with a souvenir picture and a bouquet as she passed in at the gate. On either side the bleachers were jammed with eager-faced men and boys, and altogether the throng was a magnificent one.
At 3:30, Mayor Denils, with his bonnet in his hand, made his appearance in the open space in front of the grandstand, and in a few well-chosen words welcomed the Quincys, and then after a paragraph or two of advice and encouragement to the Omahas, he tossed a brand-new ball to Umpire Ward and the game was ready for tapping.
And it was a great one. In harmony with all the Inaugural concomitants, and better than all, Omaha won.
Every man played good ball, even unto little Willie O'Brien, who as yet has had no opportunity to limber up his symmetrical limbs, or get the corn cobs out of his hair. Hill is fresh from the farm, where he has been grazing through the hyperborean months. Several representatives of the Quincy team were also on hand, but somehow or other they became lost in the shuffle. When not engaged in chasing two-base hits and other speedy vegetables over the velvety outfield, they were slicing the jocund atmosphere into railroad sandwiches and expending their brawn in wild and delightful stabs at the warp and woof that Louis Napoleon Halsz was weaving across the rubber plate.
When the battle was over, eight of the Quincys had succeeded in skating around the bases, while no less than fifteen of the Walshes had made the pilgrimage.
Grasshopper Ulrich picked up his war club and strode to the plate. His face was full of emotion and fine-cut tobacco. The populace clapped its hands and flopped its lungs. Everyone expected George to do something, and he did. He rapped a warm one to McCormack. Mack made an erratic catch at it with his left hand, and then his right. Then he attempted to jump on it, and when he did finally connect and hurl it to Pete a Boo Veach, the Grasshopper had preening his feathers on the bag!
Seeing that he was easy, Old Hutch likewise sent one down to McCormack, and in his randying ambition to avenge for his first blunder Mack threw this one clear over Pete a Boo's fair young head. The Grasshopper swarmed home, while Old Hutch reached third.
Manager Hrachett arose hastily from his seat on the bench. A foreboding had penetrated his theatrical department, and his mug was filled with pain. He looked as if he would like to go and chloroform himself and dream that he was born dead.
Colonel Shaffer was not so fortunate as his predecessors. He was blotted out at first. Out Willie O'Brien was coming.
WILLIE MADE A SINGLE.
Probably next to himself, Willie is the strongest evidence and the brightest example now living of what may be done by an ambitious young man when he tries.
He made two slashes in quick succession at the ball, and missed it both times. Then he struck a Kansas City attitude, looked at Mr. Nichols, and seemed to be contemplating.
Of course, this was all assumed. A baseball player never contemplates, because he has nothing to contemplate with. But he soaked her. It was a clean single, the first of the game, and on it Old Hutch scored. Then Lehman and Sagle were extinguished, and the Quincys came in.
Merles faced Louis Napoleon resolutely, and as a reward was allowed to walk. But it was a short promenade, for on Mr. Strong-iron's tap down to Old Hutch both runners were doubled up in pig style.
That was tall playing.
Jack Farrell then came along with a hit, and in attempting to steal he was cruelly and rudely thrust aside by a flogging throw from Pete Lonian's.
In the second throw of the game, Paddy Miles and Ignatius Donnelly, a pair of A.P.A.'s, furnished easy cuts, Nick threw Paddy out at first and Sammy La Rocque did a like favor for the author of Raglan-Rock. Nepoleon drew forth at the bridge of Lod. There were three sinister looking links in his train and the first ball Mr. Nicholas threw off he aimed until it yielded like a pug. It was a home run and my how glad the crowd was.
Mr. Talley was born in the glow of a wet moon. In their half the Quincys made their first tally, McCormack made a two-base hit, and he was cheered. The crowd knew that it required a good deal of genuine courage for a man to appear humorous and sparkling after a couple of innings like Man had played, and they meant to encourage him.
Rolland brought him in on a hit and the extrreme ceased, as he was switched off at second by Miles. Slavic made circus catches of several flies and La Rocque fouled out to our Pete.
TOUGH ON HAWAII PACKAGING.
For the Walsh family, a base on balls to Shultz, an error by La Rocque and a sacrifice bunt by Lohman filled the bases. The road was wild and so was Brackett. He arose from his seat and then sat down again and when Nicholas plugged Singleton with the ball and forced Shultz in, he was seen in a heated controversy with himself. What future generations may say about Mr. Nichols' statesmanship I know not, but I am positive Colonel Brackett's remarks regarding his pitching ability will be anything but complimentary.
Miles then hit to the pitcher and Willoughby was killed at the plate, and on Donnelly's hit to Hickley a like fate befell Pete; but still the bases were full, with Louis Napoleon once more at the bat.
Nichols quailed before him, His throat was becoming parched and he had an instinctive idea that he was not deporting himself with that dignity and lucidity for which Mr. Brackett had hired him. He served himself and aimed a liner at Louis' left ear, but Louis was on the alert and he caught it a whack that left a blue halo all around the horizon of the park. It was only a single, but both Singleton and Miles scored.
The Quincys came right back with two runs, and in the fourth, after Omaha had garnered her seventh tally on hits by Shaffer, O'Brien and Lohman, they retaliated with a gulp of three, within one of tying the score. But that was the nearest they overcame to accomplishing this feat, and after that they were not dangerous at any point in the road. To clinch the thing, the Omahas gathered themselves together once more in the seventh inning and fairly stuffed the early summer zenith with balls.
They had been finding Mr. Nichols' curves with refreshing frequency, and in this inning, Peter Lehman flitted to the willow like a fair fragrant posy from the wildwood glen torn. He glued his great fawn-like eyes to the ball and rammed his club down its open mouth. It burned a hole in the middle of the afternoon, and Pete landed on first base, only to be forced out at second by Singleton, Paddy Miles sallied forth and fielded the ball out into the cast, where a cluster of lace-like cloudlets floated as in a dream. He landed on second. Then Ignatius said something in a low, cooing voice, and also leaned up against the ball for a pair of bases. Halsz went to first on a fumble by Hickley, while Brich and Old Hutch hit for a pillow apiece.
You should have seen Manager George Washington Brackett, and looked into the mysterious workings of his face. He had been watching the Omahas bend forward one after another and lambaste Mr. Nichols with their terrible clubs, and when the Grasshopper galloped in with the fifth run that was too much. He wrinkled his brow up like the lid of a hair trunk, and then sat down and buried his face in his hands. He wept.
After the game was over Uncle Dave took it up in his hands and caressed it like a little red baby. He smoothed its curls and stroked its cheeks, then he wrapped it up in an old newspaper, took it home, and varnished it and buried it behind the barn.
In conclusion, let me repeat that it was a great game and a great championship opening. All of the Omahas played fine ball. Miles coming in for an especial share of adulation. Old Hutch, too, was much in evidence, and Brich, Lehman, O'Brien and Shaffer. Halsz's pitching was gilt-edged, and the umpiring of Mr. Ward was par excellence itself. As to the Quincys, they were considerably off, yet it is evident that they are a formidable aggregation, and will be up in the race at the end. Score:

LINCOLN DEFEATS PEORIA NICELY.
LINCOLN, May -Special Telegram)
Uncle Bright met the Distillers from Peoria today, and they are his. Mayor Graham, before a crowd of 1,800 people, said that he would open the championship games for the season by pitching the first bill. He did so.
He marched down to the box and pitched the ball to Barnes, but the pitcher pitched the ball up to the eighth inning. It looked as if Peoria might win the game off bases on balls given her by Sanders, nine having been scored against the Lincolns. But in this inning, a wild throw by Distiller Fisher to Distiller Haller on first base, with the bases full, gave the game to Lincoln. The score was a tie, and Duck's boys in gray got four runs before Hill played circus at second and was caught at it by Fisher and Nulton. No more runs were scored after this, and the crowd on the bleachers gave tongue to their enthusiasm. Collins' long and successful run for a foul fly was, however, well received by the home audience and he was given a hand tumultuously.

GOES TO THE GOVERNOR FOR SIGNATURE
Wild's Anti-Pool Selling Bill and the Members
are for Taxing Profits
Through at the Senate Time.
ALBANY, N.Y., May 2. The Gray racing bill, the Wilds anti-pool selling bill and the judiciary committee's bill, fixing a tax on racing associations were passed by the senate today, and now go to the governor for his signature. By the combined provisions of the three bills, horse racing is allowed under the supervision of a commission of three members, to be appointed by the governor, to serve for three years, the racing to be under the rules of the Jockey club or National Steeplechasing association. Pool selling is absolutely forbidden, and recorded bets and wagers between private individuals are the only things in that line allowed. The tax on racing associations allowed to operate is to be levied upon the gross receipts, and before obtaining a certificate, full payment of capital stock must be certified to. The vote stood 21 to 4.

TWO MIXED PLACES: E.S. LOUISVILLE, Helm at a Mile and a Half, Prince Imperial first at Fifth and Churchill Downs.
LEXINGTON, May 2. Sixth day of the Kentucky association spring meeting. Good crowd, weather fine, track fast, and sport good. The feature of the day was the Phoenix Hotel stakes, in which Halma lowered the track record for a mile and an eighth one second, doing the distance in 1:54, which is but a quarter of a second slower than the fastest time for the distance on a circular track, the record being held by King Lee, who won the Merchants' stakes at Latonia June 12, 1894, in 1:52.
Halma and The Commoner were even money favorites. Halma, who was in third position, took the lead at the quarter, and held it all the way, though The Commoner forced him at the three-quarters and turned into the stretch a nose behind him.

"Formidable Old Cricketer Declared Insane:
CHICAGO, May 2. Thomas Armitage, one of the most noted of old time cricket players, was declared insane today and sent to the asylum at Kankakee. Mr. Armitage was better known in England than in this country. For twenty-six years he was a member of the Yorkshire County Cricket Club, the greater portion of that time as its captain. Armitage made many trips to Australia and America with all England teams. He came to this country to live seven years ago and four years ago retired from the cricket field, since that time he has lived in a suburb of Chicago, and for the last year has been ill, his disease resulting in a violent form of insanity.
Crowds at the Motor Show:
Last evening was the second and closing night of the cycle show, which was held in Young Men's Christian Association hall. Ten of the local dealers were represented and altogether there were fifty-five wheels exhibited, representing twenty-seven different manufacturers. Early in the evening it was difficult to get to the exhibits, owing to the large crowd present.

QUEER DEAL OF THE EX-SUPERVISOR:
Handkerchief Mining Company, which

Jewels, the Official of Which Were
Later Sold to the Accused.
SIOUX CITY, May 2. Some interesting facts in connection with the recent trials were brought out on the public scene this morning of the schedule of bills allowed at the April session of the board of supervisors. At the January term of court ex-Supervisor Walter Strange was filed on the charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. The state subpoenaed about fifty witnesses and Strange about 600. The case was tried and resulted in a disagreement of the jury. At the March term there was another trial, at which the same witnesses were called again. Strange was finally acquitted, and at the conclusion of the cases the presiding judge ordered the payment of all the witnesses subpoenaed. At the recent session of the county board all the fee claims were accordingly allowed. The published schedule showed that fully three-fourths of the witnesses subpoenaed by Strange were never put on the stand. They drew fees, however, amounting in the two cases to nearly $1,000. It was developed that Strange purchased the fee claims of most of these witnesses at nominal figures so that he drew practically all this money himself. It is strongly intimated that Strange subpoenaed many witnesses for whom there was no use, with the understanding that he was to receive the lion's share of the fees, and that the witnesses, who were mostly poor men, were to be paid for their trouble with whatever balance remained after Strange's share had come out. There may be an investigation into the matter.
The Credit Commission company of this city has closed contracts with the Camley Packing company and the Sioux City Packing company by which the two latter concerns agree to remain in Sioux City for the coming year. The two packing plants will be considerably enlarged and will be operated to their fullest capacity.
A SCANDAL IN THE POST OFFICE.
Woman Implying of the content of (Chicago) Postal Service
to resign her position. DES MOINES, May 2 (Special Telegram). The Des Moines post office was torn up this morning by a sensation sprung just before noon, when Postmaster Hunter permitted Mrs. Will Jones to resign pending the investigation of a scandal involving herself and two or three of the employees of the office. The father-in-law of one of the men involved claimed to have discovered the wrongdoing on his stating the facts. Postmaster Hunter called Mrs. Jones into his office and asked for her resignation. She insisted she was innocent and her father called and demanded an investigation. The postmaster satisfied himself as to the facts, and insisted on the resignation, which she tendered and left the office. Her husband, Will Jones, was formerly in business here, but is now agent for Armour at Stillwater, Minn. They were married nearly a year before the fact was made known. The biggest sensation of the season is promised.
PASSENGER TRAIN WRECKED.
Chicago Great Western Train Disrupted with Tie by Unknown Persons.
DES MOINES, May 2. (Special Telegram) A northbound passenger train on the Chicago Great Western was ditched and wrecked about 11 o'clock last night between Green Mountain and Gladbrook, by running into several ties that had been stood up on cattle guards by unknown miscreants. The entire train except the rear sleeper was thrown down a six-foot embankment and overturned in the ditch, and ten rods of track torn up. Engineer Blake and his fireman crawled from under the overturned engine unhurt. The baggage master and brakeman were slightly injured, but the passengers escaped injury. A dead man, supposed to have been a tramp stealing a ride, was found between the tender and blind baggage car. Suspicion points to unknown men who were seen about the place last evening and have since disappeared.
TRAIN DITCHED.
Great Western passenger train derailed by Tie in the ditch.
MARSHALLTOWN, la., May 2. The northbound passenger train, Chicago, Great Western railroad, was wrecked last night between Green Mountain and Gladbrook by striking a tie. It is learned the tie was placed on the track by miscreants. The engine and three coaches were thrown down a five-foot embankment and are now lying there in the ditch. The track was not cleared until this forenoon. The baggageman and brakeman were slightly injured, but the rest of the crew and the passengers escaped unhurt.
A peculiar case is under consideration by the State Board of Health. A man from Muscatine filed a petition asking that Dr. P. A. Austin be re-examined, or have his certificate revoked, the complainant claiming to be able to demonstrate "palpable evidence of incompetence." The complainant and defendant were present at the meeting of the board here today. Plaintiff showed that his wife was dangerously ill and that Austin failed to summon other physicians for consultation until a day before her death. This, it was claimed, was criminal neglect, for defendant testified that he knew death was near. It was further brought out that plaintiff's wife complained of "bearing down" in the region of the heart an hour before death; that the physician was told of this, and replied that it would soon pass away.
When asked why he had made this statement, he replied that he knew death was at hand, but that it was useless to say so then. Plaintiff further claimed the doctor was treating his wife for typhoid fever, when consulting physicians said she had no such disease. The plaintiff in the case will test the matter in the courts, for the board of examiners refused to revoke the certificate or to cause the physician to take another examination.

Senator O. M. Olson of this city, This is tiresome. Rubbed off in the wash, you see. But the wonder is that any buttons at all are left on, when you grind them up so against a washboard. It isn't necessary, if you wash with Pearline. No washboard; no rubbing; no buttons worn off; no holes worn in. Think of the different kinds of work that you save, with Pearline! And the money! Remember, too, that if you keep to things proved to be absolutely harmless, there's nothing you can use that is equal to Pearline, the original washing compound.
Peddlers find some unscrupulous grocers who will tell you "this is as good as Pearline" or "the same as Pearline." IT'S FALSE. Pearline is never peddled; and if your grocer tends you something in place of Pearline, be careful. BACK bone tut "8 MILES PAST, New York.

CONCENTRATION IN MINES.
OTTUMWA, ia., May 2. (Special Telegram) Several representatives of the mining interests in the state here claim that the Des Moines dichotomy concerning the involvement of the Union Pacific in the C&StL is misleading. It refers chiefly to the fact that two operators of the Hunter mines, who have refused to pay the union dues, have no intention of entering a cooperative, but will mine coal individually as heretofore. Fifty miners only are at work in the striking district about Centerville.
According to this morning's special edition of the Telegraph, Harold Carr, a well-known man about town, was caught in the act of burglarizing the drug store. For the past month, Flock has been missing from the store, and although a close watch was kept, the stealing seemed to go on under the proprietor's very eyes. Last night, a large sum was secreted in the cash, and Carr was captured without a struggle; he was taking goods out preparatory to placing them in a wagon.
In the case of the state against Reid Peltzmeier, the defense has placed its hope in the testimony of Dr. Rod, the former family physician, who said that Peltzmeier was subject to fits of epilepsy. On cross-examination, City Solicitor recited the facts of the shooting, and then put the question of the prisoner's sanity directly to the doctor. As a medical expert, he said he was compelled to say he believed Peltzmeier was sane.
At an early hour this morning, the body of Mary Partridge of Marion was found by members of her family; she was drowned in a rain barrel. There was only nine inches of water in the bottom of the barrel, but she had been dead for some time. She has been in poor health and depressed, and it is supposed to be a case of suicide.
C. J. Steenerson and Ellery, two prosperous farmers south of town, were caught stealing grain from the town elevator and fined $100 each and costs. They were fishing on their own land.
A steady rain has prevailed in this section for ten hours, beginning at midnight. Crop prospects are greatly enhanced.
An attempt was made last night to wreck the last mail train due here at 1:15 p.m. Cross ties were placed across the track, each with one end pinned under the rails. Fortunately, the train had just stopped for water and was moving slowly. The conductor applied the brakes, but the front wheels of the engine jumped the track. The train arrived more than two hours late.
According to statistics furnished by the State Department by United States Consul Johnson at Stuttgart, there has been a remarkable decrease in the emigration from Stuttgart during the past five years, particularly to the United States. In 1882, the total emigration was 35,000 persons, and in 1884, the number fell to 2,511, the decrease being almost wholly in the emigration to the United States.

Assuming that Mr. rimnnccy Dcpow
s authorized to speak for the rupubll-
ans of New York , they are In favor of
Onvernor Lovl 1' . Morton ns the cniull *
late of the party In 1800 for president.
This was said by Mr. Dcpew In an in-
ervlew nt Cleveland , and as that gen-
lenian Is n very warm friend of Mr.
Morton and 1ms a wide acquaintance
and great liillucnco with the repuhll-
MIIH of the Kinplro state the remark
s to be tnken seriously. There have
) cen Intimations from other sources of
a strong feeling among New York re-
nibllcaus favorable tn the nomination
of Mr. Morton by the next republican
mtlonal convention nnd after what hns
) eeu said by Mr. Dcpow there Is good
eason to believe that the friends of
Mr. Morton are Intending to put him In
he race for the nominal Ion. There has
) ccn no Intimation that he Is offering
any encouragement to a movement of
his kind or oven that ho has any knowl
edge of It , but It Is hardly to be doubted
hat he knows something of It. The
leclaratlon of Mr. Depew Is the llrst
llstlnct statement , so far as we have
) bserved , that New York republicans
seriously contemplated presenting Gov
ernor Merion as a presidential candi
date , but his authority will everywhere
jo accepted as sulllclent to place Mr.
Morton In the list of possibilities.
Unquestionably the friends of Gov
ernor Morton can offer some cogent rea
sons why he would be an available can-
lidato and also why , If nominated and
elected , ho would make a good chief
executive of the nation , lie Is thor
oughly In accord with the principles of
tlie republican party , believing In the
iiullclous protection of American Indus-
: rles and In a sound and stable cur-
eney. He has had much experience In
public life and has judiciously aud crcd-
tably discharged every duty and re
sponsibility. He Is a patriotic , public
spirited citizen , whose private life Is
tbove reproach. Ho has not been long
enough , perhaps , In an executive posi
tion to warrant a positive expression
of opinion as to his administrative abil
ity , but he has done well thus far as
governor of New York and there ap-
> ears good reason to expect that he will
maintain his excellent record as a pub
ic man. Ills efforts and Inllueuce have
been directed to securing those reforms
which the republican party promised
the people of the state and In this he
ms been signally successful. These arc
strong recommendations and give Mr.
Morton a very substantial claim to con-
( deration as a possible presidential
candidate.
But there are other republicans who
have equally strong recommendations
tud who enjoy an advantage over New
York's governor In'being younger men
nnd therefore hi closer touch with n
i-ery large element of republican voters.
Mr. Morton will be 72 years old when
the next republican national convcn-
lon is held and while he may still be a
vigorous man ho will have far passed
the time of life for a presidential can
didate. William Henry Harrison was
tlie oldest man ever nominated for tlie
presidency , he having been OS when
Inaugurated , and all but five of the
presidents were under 00 when Inaugu
rated. It Is not at all probable that tlie
next republican national convention will
innko so extreme a departure from tlie
practice of the past as to nominate a
candidate 'l years old , and such being
the case it would seem to be a waste of
time for the New York republicans to
make an effort to secure the nomina
tion for the presidency of Governor
Morton.
MONKTAUY COyFKHHXUH 1'ROSrECTS.
It Is now several months since con
gress took action looking toward the
representation of the United States in
the International monetary conference
which at that time Germany seemed on
the point of convening. President Cleve
land has not yet undertaken to name
the delegates left to his selection , but
he has given It to bo understood that
he will not bo wanting in his part so
soon as the time for action shall have
arrived. The point at which all seem to
be battling Is the delay of the German
government to carry out the spirit of
the resolution adopted by the Heichstag
and to issue the Invitation requesting
tlie different powers to send delegates
to a conference for the purpose of dis
cussing and framing recommendations
for an Increased use of silver as money.
This delay is being utilized in certain
quarters to spread tlie impression that
there Is no possible hope for an Interna
tional monetary conference and that
further expectations in that direction
are altogether unwarranted.
This view Is not shared by those who
are In a position to form an authorita
tive view of the European monetary
situation. Mr. Edward O. Leech , direc
tor of the mint during President Har
rison's administration and at present
vice president of one of the principal
national banks In New York City , In a
recent interview expressed himself as
confident that the conference would be
held. Germany , he says , will call the
conference and England has decided to
participate In It If called. Krauce nnd
the other states of the old I.atln union
will naturally take kindly to It on ac
count of the largo part which silver
plays In their currency. The United
States Is strongly In favor of Interna
tional bimetallism , as was evidenced by
the prompt action of congress In provid
ing for representation. Mr. L ech goes
on to say that Germany , after having
summoned the conference , will be under
obligations to propose something defi
nite , and as the German delegates to
all previous conferences have looked
With disfavor upon every proposition
to enlarge the use of silver the change
will be of considerable signlllcance.
As to the probable results of the con
ference there Is , of course , much differ
ence of opinion. The key to tha situa
tion will as usual be Ireld by England.
Mr. Leech , In the Interview already re
ferred to , professes to bo doubtful
whether England will go further than
to make a few minor concessions , such
as the reopening of the Indian mints , a
small Increase In the legal tender limit
of silver currency , and perhaps the
transformation of a fourth of the bank
reserve from gold to silver. It will then
bu for the other powers to determine
how far they can go with safety and on
what conditions their mints shall be
thrown open more freely to the coinage
of silver. Certainly the prospect was
lover better since 1873 for some kind of
in International monetary agreement
In the near future.
MUST STAND TUOKTllKtl.
The Omaha Jobbers nnd packers hare
made n strong presentment of their
grievances to thu Interstate commission.
J'hey have cited facts thnt cannot be
controverted nnd presenli-d figures that
afford conclusive proof of the righteous-
less of their demands. They have
shown thnt Omaha has been a victim of
arbitrary discrimination on the part of
the railroad trnfllc managers for years
and has suffered Incalculable damage
jy this unfair nnd lawless treatment.
The submission to these wrongs has
jceu n drawback to the material pros
perity of this city and Its continuance
will check Its growth nnd the develop
ment of the whole region tributary to
Omaha. The only wonder Is that the
Jobbers nnd packers of this city have
mtlontly submitted to this rank dis
crimination for years and allowed
themselves to be distanced by their
competitors nnd rivals without offering-
any resistance.
On this score , however , they really
liavo themselves to blame. They com
mand the situation and could by united
action have long since brought the
Iralllc managers to time. Instead of
acting In concert on the principle of one
for all and all for ono they have allowed
the railroads to dominate them l > y di
versions and divisions created through
so-called special favors , secret rebates ,
drawbacks , passes and side partnership
with railroad olllcers who dabble In all
sorts of speculative enterprises outside
of their legitimate business. It Is this
[ lernlclous system of Individual favorit
ism that Is chiefly responsible for the
lack of harmony nnd self-assertion
iimong our business men , and notably
iimoiig the jobbers nnd packers. In
stead of asserting their rights nnd In
sisting upon fair treatment and no
favors they have allowed themselves to
bo placated by sops thrown from rail
road headquarters that have demoral
ized their organizations and made It
easy for the tralllc managers to keep up
a policy that Is adverse to Omaha as a
distributing nnd Jobbing center.
Whatever the Interstate commission
may decide Omaha merchants and
manufacturers should stand together
from now on , assert their rights and
work in harmony for the promotion of
their collective Interests , which are also"
the Interests of the whole community.
Any other course will leave them open
fo constant attack from within and
without and make It Impossible either
to extend their territory or to even hold
what they have now got. It Is tlie
solidarity of the commercial people of
other cities that has given them ad
vantage over Omaha , and It Is high
time for Omaha to profit by their ex
ample.
VERY LITTLU 1MPHO\'KMKXT ,
But two mouths remain of the gov
ernment fiscal year and It Is possible
to make a pretty close estimate of what
the treasury situation will bo at the
close of the year , June 80. According to
the public debt statement for April the
deficit for that month was $8,7-12,810
and for the ten months of the fiscal year
it was ? -15'J)0UO ! ) ; { , a monthly average of
a little over ? 1,500,000. It Is not prob
able that this average will be reduced
for the remaining two months of the
year , so that it may be regarded as
reasonably certain that the addition to
the deficit for May and June will not
bo less than $9,000,000 , nnd It is more
than likely to exceed this amount It
is entirely safe , therefore , to estimate
the deficit for the fiscal year at about
$55,000,000. This Is a very much larger
deficit than wns estimated by Secretary
Carlisle In his last annual report and
In his various communications to con
gress , but there long ago ceased to be
any surprise at the wide discrepancy
between the secretary's estimates of
revenue and the results. The condition
also shows what very poor calculators
those democrats were who assured the
country that under the new tariff policy
there would be abundant revenue to
meet expenditures aud something over.
The treasury statement for April
shows little Improvement In receipts as
compared with the corresponding
months of 1S04 , when tlie business de
pression was at Its height There was a
moderate gain In the revenue from cus
toms , but a loss In receipts from Inter
nal revenue , so that the treasury re
ceived only $1,555,000 more last month
than it did hi April of 1S111. The re
ceipts from customs , however , do not
Indicate that there was a reduction of
Imports in the former month as com
pared with the latter. On the contrary ,
the Importations of foreign merchan
dise during April of this year were con
siderably heavier than for the corresponding
spending month of last year. We have
imported sfnce January 1 , 1895 , at least
50 per cent more foreign goods than
came Into the country during the llrst
four months of ISM , but have received
less revenue from this source this year
than last. This is not wholly duo to
lower duties , but partly to undervalu
ations , made possible by the nd valorem
system under which the treasury Is
undoubtedly constantly defrauded of
revenue. A leading trade paper in re
ferring to the practice of undervalu
ations says-that "this enormous evil has
only Just begun to be felt , because until
business revived the Importations were
small. They have recently been rapidly
Increasing , nnd not only Is the Treas

After the contracts for legislative
printing just l k ( limit have been ful
filled the state vrlll find Itself with 2,000
copies of the senate journal on Its hands
nnd only 1,00 $ f/oples of the house
journal. Thesq' Journals of course are
only demanded hi nets , so that when the
1,000 sets are disposed of there will be
1,000 odd senrtfp Journals left. This
printing was ordered by separate resolu
tions of the two houses of the legis
lature and owing to the usual bungling
failed to provide for equal numbers of
both Journals. Another result of the
discrepancy Is that the two pieces of
work will bo done by different printers ,

ordered leaving opportunity for differ
ences In the bids that have thrown one
Journal to one bidder nnd the other to

Ono thing the suit against ex-Treas-

corporation with financial Interests of

permit such loose methods to be cm-

not show whether or not the lesson of

Convention * for Colorado mid Wyoming :
Heine Hold nt Denver.
DENVER , May 2. Before th * Grand Army
of the Republic encampment of Colorado and
Wyoming convened today there wa * much
discussion among the veterans In attendance
of the recommendation made by Department
Commander Kolllns for the appointment of a
committee to prepare a memorial to the next
national encampment In favor of extending
fraternal aid to confederate veterans , The
suggestion w.is generally received with favor
and lending members expressed the- opinion
that the principle advocated by General Rol
lins will receive the endorsement of the en
campment , which resumed Its secret session
at 10 o'clock today.
A delegation from the encampment waited
upon the ladles of tlie Grand Army of the
Republic In convention this forenoon and as
sured them that the veterans recognized their
organization and accorded them the place to
which they arc entitled as co-workers and
helpers of the veteran soldiers. The ladles'
organization then elected the following ofll-
cers : President , Mrs. Theresa M. Porter ,
Aspen ; senior vice president , Mrs. Kuth B.
Foote , Denver ; Junior vice president. Mrs.
Caroline Keoler , Pueblo ; treasurer. Mrs. Jen
nie 11. Hanks , Leadvllle ; chnp'.aln , Mrs. Kstlicr
McDonald , Denver.
The Impression that has got abroad that
General Holllns favored extending pensions
to confederate veterans Is Incorrect. What
ho proposed was to establish a home for In
digent and suffering southern veterans. His
exact words were as follows :
"There remains ono other subject of which
I wish to speak. The war Is over. Wo arc ,
I may also say , for the llrst time u united
people. This nation is great enough , Intelli
gent enough , inimclently advanced In all
that goes to inako up what we call civiliza
tion when victorious to bu generous and even
liberal to the vanquished. The south , or nt
least many parts of It , Is not the homo but
rather the stopping place of many poor , crip
pled , broken down old men. They were
bravo soldiers , not the loaders , but In the
ranks of an army whose record for bravery
and soldierly conduct cast no stain upon our
fame as a nation among nations. True , they
were not our comrades In the Grand Army
sense , but they are our brothers In the
American sense.
"A homo somewhere In the sunny south ,
where these old soldiers can be cared for ,
sheltered , fed , clothed , and In sickness
nursed , will cost but little , comparatively
speaking. There Is but one place where n
movement of this kind can start , and that
Is In the Grand Army pf the Republic. "
This forenoon's session of the encampment
was spent in routine work. So far as learned
there was no discussion of General Rollins'
recommendation , and no recommendation was
taken in regard thereto.
"Tho morning papers misquoted what I
said about brothers In the south , " declared
General Rollins to an Associated press re
porter today. "I never suggested a pension
for the men against whom we of the Grand
Army fought. The Idea I wished to convey
was that the north and south arc reunited
and that we are all equally children of the
great republic. I dfl not see how I could
have been so misrepresented , but my words
are on the record. "

Reliable Clothiers , S.W. Cor. 15tl unJ Douglus Sts. | On the first of March, the Omaha Daily was published every morning except Sunday. One year's subscription cost $5, and three months were $2.50. The newspaper also offered a Sunday edition for $2.50 per year. The editorial office was located at The Herald Building, corner of 14th and 21st Streets in Omaha.
The Omaha Daily was committed to reporting on national and local news, providing comprehensive coverage of events in Omaha, Nebraska, and the surrounding area. The paper also included sections on business, sports, entertainment, and society, ensuring a wide range of content for its readers.
The newspaper took a stance on various issues, advocating for education reform, women's rights, and temperance, among others. Its editorial pages were open to both criticism and support, encouraging an active and informed discussion among its readers.
In terms of circulation, the Omaha Daily aimed to reach a diverse audience, from those interested in local news to those seeking national and international updates. The paper's goal was to be the primary source for its readers, providing accurate and timely information on the matters that mattered most to them.
For those interested in advertising, the Omaha Daily offered a range of options, including display ads, classified ads, and insertions in the Sunday edition. These ads were a vital source of revenue for the paper, allowing it to operate and continue serving its community.
Overall, the Omaha Daily was a cornerstone of the city's journalism landscape, providing trustworthy and engaging content to its readers for over a century. It was a platform for both information and opinion, encouraging dialogue and debate on the issues that shaped our world.
Undoubtedly, the friends of Governor Morton can offer some cogent reasons why he would be an available candidate and also why, if nominated and elected, he would make a good chief executive of the nation. He is thoroughly in accord with the principles of the republican party, believing in the fulvous protection of American industries and in a sound and stable currency. He has had much experience in public life and has judiciously and credibly discharged every duty and responsibility. He is a patriotic, public-spirited citizen, whose private life is above reproach. He has not been long enough, perhaps, in an executive position to warrant a positive expression of opinion as to his administrative ability, but he has done well thus far as governor of New York and there appears good reason to expect that he will maintain his excellent record as a public man. His efforts and influence have been directed to securing those reforms which the republican party promised the people of the state and in this he has been signally successful. These are strong recommendations and give Mr. Morton a very substantial claim to consideration as a possible presidential candidate.
But there are other republicans who have equally strong recommendations and who enjoy an advantage over New York's governor in being younger men and therefore in closer touch with a very large element of republican voters. Mr. Morton will be 72 years old when the next republican national convention is held and while he may still be a vigorous man, he will have far passed the time of life for a presidential candidate. William Henry Harrison was the oldest man ever nominated for the presidency, he having been 68 when inaugurated, and all but five of the presidents were under 60 when inaugurated. It is not at all probable that the next republican national convention will make such an extreme departure from the practice of the past as to nominate a candidate 72 years old, and such being the case it would seem to be a waste of time for the New York republicans to make an effort to secure the nomination for the presidency of Governor Morton.
MONETARY CONFERENCES PROSPECTS.
It is now several months since congress took action looking toward the representation of the United States in the International monetary conference which at that time Germany seemed on the point of convening. President Cleveland has not yet undertaken to name the delegates left to his selection, but he has given it to be understood that he will not be wanting in his part so soon as the time for action shall have arrived. The point at which all seem to be battling is the delay of the German government to carry out the spirit of the resolution adopted by the Reichstag and to issue the invitation requesting the different powers to send delegates to a conference for the purpose of discussing and framing recommendations for an increased use of silver as money. This delay is being utilized in certain quarters to spread the impression that there is no possible hope for an international monetary conference and that further expectations in that direction are altogether unwarranted.
This view is not shared by those who are in a position to form an authoritative view of the European monetary situation. Mr. Edward O. Leech, director of the mint during President Harrison's administration and at present vice president of one of the principal national banks in New York City, in a recent interview expressed himself as confident that the conference would be held. Germany, he says, will call the conference and England has decided to participate in it if called. France and the other states of the old Latin union will naturally take kindly to it on account of the large part which silver plays in their currency. The United States is strongly in favor of international bimetallism, as was evidenced by the prompt action of congress in providing for representation. Mr. Leech goes on to say that Germany, after having summoned the conference, will be under obligations to propose something definite, and as the German delegates to all previous conferences have looked with disfavor upon every proposition to enlarge the use of silver the change will be of considerable significance.
As to the probable results of the conference there is, of course, much difference of opinion. The key to the situation will, as usual, be held by England. Mr. Leech, in the interview already referred to, professes to be doubtful whether England will go further than to make a few minor concessions, such as the reopening of the Indian mints, a small increase in the legal tender limit of silver currency, and perhaps the transformation of a fourth of the bank reserve from gold to silver. It will then be for the other powers to determine how far they can go with safety and on what conditions their mints shall be thrown open more freely to the coinage of silver. Certainly the prospect was better since 1873 for some kind of international monetary agreement in the near future.
MUST STAND TOGETHER.
The Omaha Jobbers and packers have made a strong presentment of their grievances to the Interstate commission. They have cited facts that cannot be controverted and presented figures that afford conclusive proof of the righteousness of their demands. They have shown that Omaha has been a victim of arbitrary discrimination on the part of the railroad traffic managers for years and has suffered incalculable damage by this unfair and lawless treatment. The submission to these wrongs has been a drawback to the material prosperity of this city and its continuance will check its growth and the development of the whole region tributary to Omaha. The only wonder is that the Jobbers and packers of this city have meekly submitted to this rank discrimination for years and allowed themselves to be distanced by their competitors and rivals without offering any resistance.
On this score, however, they really have themselves to blame. They command the situation and could by united action have long since brought the railroads to time. Instead of acting in concert on the principle of one for all and all for one, they have allowed the railroads to dominate them by diversions and divisions created through so-called special favors, secret rebates, drawbacks, passes, and side partnership with railroad officials who dabble in all sorts of speculative enterprises outside of their legitimate business. It is this curious system of individual favoritism that is chiefly responsible for the lack of harmony and self-assertion among our business men, and notably among the jobbers and packers. Instead of asserting their rights and insisting upon fair treatment and no favors, they have allowed themselves to be placated by sops thrown from railroad headquarters that have demoralized their organizations and made it easy for the traffic managers to keep up a policy that is adverse to Omaha as a distributing and Jobbing center.
Whatever the Interstate commission may decide, Omaha merchants and manufacturers should stand together from now on, assert their rights, and work in harmony for the promotion of their collective interests, which are also the interests of the whole community. Any other course will leave them open to constant attack from within and without and make it impossible either to extend their territory or to even hold what they have now got. It is the solidarity of the commercial people of other cities that has given them advantage over Omaha, and it is high time for Omaha to profit by their example.
VERY LITTLE IMPROVEMENT,
But two months remain of the government fiscal year and It is possible to make a pretty close estimate of what the treasury situation will be at the close of the year, June 30. According to the public debt statement for April, the deficit for that month was $8,712,810 and for the ten months of the fiscal year it was $150,000, a monthly average of a little over $1,500,000. It is not probable that this average will be reduced for the remaining two months of the year, so that it may be regarded as reasonably certain that the addition to the deficit for May and June will not be less than $9,000,000, and It is more than likely to exceed this amount. It is entirely safe, therefore, to estimate the deficit for the fiscal year at about $55,000,000. This is a very much larger deficit than was estimated by Secretary Carlisle in his last annual report and in his various communications to Congress, but there long ago ceased to be any surprise at the wide discrepancy between the secretary's estimates of revenue and the results. The condition also shows what very poor calculators those democrats were who assured the country that under the new tariff policy there would be abundant revenue to meet expenditures and something over. The treasury statement for April shows little improvement in receipts as compared with the corresponding months of 1894, when the business depression was at its height. There was a moderate gain in the revenue from customs, but a loss in receipts from internal revenue, so that the treasury received only $1,555,000 more last month than it did in April of 1894. The receipts from customs, however, do not indicate that there was a reduction of imports in the former month as compared with the latter. On the contrary, the importations of foreign merchandise during April of this year were considerably heavier than for the corresponding spending month of last year. We have imported since January 1, 1895, at least 50 per cent more foreign goods than came into the country during the first four months of 1894, but have received less revenue from this source this year than last. This is not wholly due to lower duties, but partly to undervaluations, made possible by the ad valorem system under which the treasury is undoubtedly constantly defrauded of revenue. A leading trade paper, referring to the practice of undervaluations, says that "this enormous evil has only just begun to be felt, because until business revived the importations were small. They have recently been rapidly increasing, and not only is the Treasury department distressed over the unexpected smallness of revenue and the undoubted frauds in the invoices, but it is now an everyday experience in all the commercial cities that foreign fabrics are offered at prices that could not be met here, even with all profits sacrificed and wages cut 25 per cent below the present average." Thus, under the ad valorem system, not only is the government cheated of revenue, but a most unjustifiable advantage is given foreign over American manufacturers.
The treasury still has a safe cash balance and a good feature of the situation is the fact that the gold reserve is being well maintained, showing a restoration of confidence in the treasury. The presentation of government paper money for redemption in gold has been comparatively small for several months and the promise is that this will continue to be the case for some time, the tendency of the trade of gold shipments having turned outward to the United States for the first time in several years. There is really very little improvement in the treasury situation, but the indications are somewhat more favorable than a few months ago.
After the contracts for legislative printing just awarded have been filled, the state will find itself with 2,000 copies of the senate journal on its hands and only 1,000 sets of the house journal. These journals of course are only demanded by states, so that when the 1,000 sets are disposed of there will be 1,000 odd senate journals left. This printing was ordered by separate resolutions of the two houses of the legislature and owing to the usual bungling failed to provide for equal numbers of both journals. Another result of the discrepancy is that the two pieces of work will be done by different printers, the difference in the number of copies ordered leaving opportunity for differences in the bids that have thrown one journal to one bidder and the other to another.
One thing the suit against ex-Treasurer Hill is accomplishing for the benefit of the taxpayers if it results in nothing else and that is an exposure of the methods of bookkeeping and accounting in vogue in the office of the state treasurer. It is safe to say that no private corporation with financial interests of equal importance would for a moment permit such loose methods to be employed in its affairs as were employed by the treasurers of the state of Nebraska. The testimony in this case does not show whether or not the lesson of the Hill shortage has been learned. It is an experience altogether too expensive to be indulged in more than once.
Notice has been given that the Adams county relief committee, which had been cooperating with the State Relief commission, has fulfilled its object and has been dissolved. The relief work is practically at an end all over Nebraska and in few counties are there any farmers who will not be able to care for themselves until the next crop is harvested. Neither county nor state relief committees have anything to do further than to dispose of the supplies on hand and to prepare reports of the work performed. The relief organizations will disappear one after the other as rapidly as they made their original appearance.
Bill Dorgan has selected his man to represent him in the disposition of the penitentiary property which he wants the state to buy of him. Some people professed for a while to be in doubt whether Dorgan would avail himself of the opportunity offered by the new penitentiary law to unload his old utensils upon the state at a handsome price. Dorgan himself never suffered any doubt. He has been waiting for the chance. He stands ready at all times to relieve the state of the money appropriated by the legislature for the purchase of his claims.

Shifting grip on the back,
Indianapolis Journal.
While it would be improper and uncalled for for the United States to take any active part in the settlement of the Japanese-Chinese controversy, Japan should be given to understand that the government and people of this country hope she will insist on carrying out the terms of her treaty with China, regardless of the protests of European powers.
Stimulating or alarming,

Copious rains have fallen the past three days in the west and northwest, where badly needed, brightening the prospects for the growing crops. Prospective earnings of the railroads traversing that part of the country, commonly called the farmers, also brightened, and this led to an unusual buoyancy among holders of railway securities in this city.
Bid out for blood,

Pennoyer and White are no longer at the helm, but in true California has a governor who is ready to see that the earth shall not wobble. He has already issued his proclamation defining what the United States should have done and should do in the Nicaragua matter, and it is not too much to say that he is even ready to prescribe the cut of Dr. Walker's trousers. Go it, Buddy.
Philadelphia Record.
Ex-Congressman Ryan of Nebraska talks glibly of "the gold and silver coinage of the constitution." With such phrases as this, the demagogues of cheap money seek to beguile the unwary and the ignorant. What clause of the constitution can be perverted or stretched so as to warrant the free coinage of silver dollars at the preposterous ratio of 1 to 1 with gold? But it is impossible to bring the champions of free silver within the range of the truth when advocating their extravagant money theories. The fact that they habitually resort to the most reckless assertions ought to put the most confiding proselytes to cheap money on their guard. The constitution of the United States has often been wantonly abused, but it has never been so grossly belittled as when cited in favor of the mischievous humbug of free silver coinage.
Chico News.
We hope the free silver men will not fail to read the accounts in the morning papers of the final night of the opera season in New York. The box office took in $6,000, but that was only a fraction of the offering. Something like an acre of costly flowers were hung on the stage, and one after another the principal singers were called out, processions of ushers staggered to the footlights bearing themselves a solid gold wreath for Melba, a solo bracelet studded with diamonds for Hauermdster, an armful of jeweled gewgaws for the Delleszkes. The singers waded through roses, and weak-minded women went into a debauch of sentimental grief at the parting. Altogether, the exhibition may have cost New York $150,000, or twice that much, nobody knows. There is no scarcity of money when a popular singer, male or female, can walk a path strewn with double eagles from one coast to another. The money is unequally distributed. The diets have much more than their share.
New York Tribune! President Clinton has been hacked down from his former position on the Nicaragua question. That is just what might have been expected from a Claws administration.
St. Louis News: We think that the government has so far acted with wisdom and discretion in the Nicaragua Incident. But we must say that the patronizing approval of the British press is, as the Journal's dramatic critic says, "fairly excruciating."
Globe-Democrat: Nicaragua is not as large in area as Missouri and has about half the population of St. Louis. It is in bullying a midget like this that English arrogance comes to the surface and indicates to larger nations what their fate would be under similar conditions.
Washington Star: It is rather strange that many of the American newspapers that are now engaged in praising a real Britain for its firmness in dealing with "an insignificant country like Nicaragua" should be the very journals that yelled "coward," "bully" and such like epithets at their own government when President Harrison talked in a business-like manner to impertinent Chile.
Philadelphia Press: The administration is placed in a worse and worse light as additional details are brought to light in the Nicaragua blunder, great Britain put the administration in a also position on one side and Nicaragua seems from the last London dispatches on the other. The government at Washington lacked the foresight to see in what direction Great Britain was moving and it lacked the force to compel Nicaragua to the early and honorable settlement which was once possible. The responsibility for the English occupation of a point on the Isthmus, which is taken under just as explicit a pledge to retire as was the occupation of Egypt twelve years ago, rests at Washington.
CHICAGO POST: The Marquis de Castellane talks of sentiment. It is a pleasure to know just how he classifies that $2,000,000.
CHICAGO RECORD: The father of young Count Castellane criticizes American society with the natural severity of a foreigner whose family has just married into it.
WASHINGTON STAR: Miss Gould's father-in-law in his published impressions of America gently intimates that there are a great many punctiliously honest American citizens whenever never succeed in getting to be United States senators.
CHICAGO HERALD: Where did the marquis of Castellane gain so much and so exact knowledge as to the selling price of American legislators and courts? Is he in communion with the shade of his new daughter-in-law's late father?
CHICAGO NEWS: The Marquis de Castellane, father-in-law of Jay Gould's daughter, says the American nation is a "reunion of people without ancestors." The marquis will doubtless admit, however, that it is better to have money than ancestors.
Minneapolis Journal: Count Castellane, who married a large slice of the Gould fortune the other day, has written an article severely condemning America and everything American. Perhaps his American wife is not shelling out the money as fast as he had expected.
Philadelphia Inquirer: The new husband of Anna Gould has written a paper about America, in which he suggests that American men are only interested in the pursuit of the Almighty dollar. The Marquis de Castellane ought to be able to recognize this instinct when he sees it.
Boston Globe: The father of the Count de Castellane, who married Anna Gould, has written a long article for a French review, in which he paints the reeking corruption of the American congress. We, here in America, were not aware that corruption had been carried to the extreme in congress which this writer asserts, but as he was in this country for the space of fifteen entire days, of course he knows.
Indianapolis Journal: "The American man," says the count, "does not much care for the society of women," and "gallantry in the honest sense of the word is unknown to him." Considering that this young person saw nothing of the United States except a little bit of New York City, and nothing of its people except on illiterate sets of rich upstarts and snobs, one can hardly wonder at his impressions of the country and people.
IMPRESSIONS THOUGHTS:
The impression is growing in Colorado and contiguous territory that President Cleveland was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. The coal barons threaten a war of rates. Their winter victims will have the satisfaction of seeing them sweat without paying for it.
Mrs. Belva Lockwood will not be permitted to practice before the Virginia supreme court. Masculine tyranny seems to cling to the Old Dominion.
The Parkhurst testimonial fund amounts to $29,000. The form of the testimonial has not been decided upon, but it is presumed tiger hide will figure in it.
Her name is Jane Addams and she is garbage Inspector of a Chicago ward. The remarkable thing about her work is that she attends strictly to business instead of fixing up political deals or caucusing on the corners.
The public has done some effective high kicking at the theatrical box offices in New York, with the result of kicking a hole in the salaries of the kickers who disport at the footlights.
A Chicago paper speaks of Henry D. Estabrook as a resident of "Ottumwa, Kan." In view of the succession of journalistic earthquakes there, it would be unfair to hold the newspapers responsible for what they say.
If the coming woman should fail to come up to expectations, the records of some of her receding sisters will supply the deficiency. A New York woman, now on trial, demonstrated her ability to manage two husbands at the same time. She divided her time half and half between them.
The Butte disaster in which fifty-eight lives were lost has gone through an exhaustive investigation and the investigators proclaim it an accident. The tons of dynamite which scattered buildings and humanity over acres of adjacent territory evidently sneaked into the buildings without the owners' permission.
As a conclusive test of his powers in that line, a Chicago mind-reader was challenged to tell how much an alderman received for his last vote. The alderman demurred, waxed red in the face, passing from that tea to a stage of indignation. "You are too blanked gay," he remarked, as he moved outside the circle of the mind reader's power.
A new woman's club in Baltimore has named itself the "Quadriga." This is the Latin name for a four-horse chariot, and the suggestion of handling the reins is obvious. There is opportunity for an interesting treatise on the fanciful nomenclature of women's clubs, as the Washington "Wimodaughs," the Indianapolis "Propylaeum," and others of equally unattractive name would indicate.
Mrs. Potts, a noted suffrage leader of Kansas, looks upon her husband as a cracked kettle, and has applied for a divorce. Mr. Potts is a gallant old duffer with a peculiar appreciation of the fitness of things. Finding Mrs. P. determined to wear the bloomers, he showed his great love by permitting her to earn her daily bread by the sweat of her mouth. Hence the commotion among the Kansas Potts.
In order that ancient history might dovetail with the ideas of advanced women, a London colony of the opposite sex have undertaken a revision of the bible with a view to disabusing the popular mind on the rib story. That will be put down as the companion fiction of Jonah swallowing the whale, while the mastication of the Eucharist pippin will undoubtedly prove to be a 9 o'clock pink tea. The revision promises to be perfectly lovely.

Convention for Colorado and Wyoming:
Held at Denver.
DENVER, May 2. Before the Grand Army of the Republic encampment of Colorado and Wyoming convened today there was much discussion among the veterans in attendance of the recommendation made by Department Commander Collins for the appointment of a committee to prepare a memorial to the next national encampment in favor of extending fraternal aid to Confederate veterans. The suggestion was generally received with favor and leading members expressed the opinion that the principle advocated by General Collins will receive the endorsement of the encampment, which resumed its secret session at 10 o'clock today.
A delegation from the encampment waited upon the ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic in convention this forenoon and assured them that the veterans recognized their organization and accorded them the place to which they are entitled as co-workers and helpers of the veteran soldiers. The ladies' organization then elected the following officers: President, Mrs. Theresa M. Porter, Aspen; senior vice president, Mrs. Ruth B. Foote, Denver; Junior vice president, Mrs. Caroline Kocher, Pueblo; treasurer, Mrs. Jennie H. Banks, Leadville; chaplain, Mrs. Esther McDonald, Denver.
The impression that has gotten abroad that General Collins favored extending pensions to Confederate veterans is incorrect. What he proposed was to establish a home for indigent and suffering southern veterans. His exact words were as follows:
"There remains one other subject of which I wish to speak. The war is over. We are, I may also say, for the first time a united people. This nation is great enough, intelligent enough, in every way advanced in all that goes to make up what we call civilization; when victorious, to be generous and even liberal to the vanquished. The south, or at least many parts of it, is not the home but rather the stopping place of many poor, crippled, broken down old men. They were brave soldiers, not the leaders, but in the ranks of an army whose record for bravery and soldierly conduct cast no stain upon our fame as a nation among nations. True, they were not our comrades in the Grand Army sense, but they are our brothers in the American sense.
"A home somewhere in the sunny south, where these old soldiers can be cared for, sheltered, fed, clothed, and in sickness nursed, will cost but little, comparatively speaking. There is but one place where a movement of this kind can start, and that is in the Grand Army of the Republic."
This forenoon's session of the encampment was spent in routine work. So far as learned there was no discussion of General Collins' recommendation, and no recommendation was taken in regard thereto.
"The morning papers misquoted what I said about brothers in the south," declared General Collins to an Associated Press reporter today. "I never suggested a pension for the men against whom we of the Grand Army fought. The idea I wished to convey was that the north and south are reunited and that we are all equally children of the great republic. I do not see how I could have been so misrepresented, but my words are on the record."

SPRING DEC.
Minneapolis Tribune.
The bump-eyed frog begins to sing; His brak ke ke kel; go on,
The schoolboy in his father's chair,
Places the noisome tacks
The maiden with the bulbous sleeve
Smiles at her diamond ring
And all things join the general josh
To welcome in the spring.
Begins Monday, May 6.
A Story by "THE DUCHESS."
Everyone knows
what that means. It
means as good a story
as was ever penned of
the good, old-fashioned
sort.
Even "The Duchess"
never wrote a better
story than "Storm Driven," whose publication will be begun
by THE DAILY BEE
Monday, May 6.
The scene is English, the
characters are human and
understandable, the heroine
is a suffering and over
wrought woman who is released from a marriage with
an unscrupulous villain by a
happy chance, just as she has
succeeded in rescuing from
him another innocent girl
upon whom he has designs.
It is a tale thrilling in its
incident and happy in its
termination, as all stories
should be.

DirmotT , Mich , May 2. Upward of 330
leading business men af Detroit , with their
quests ot the evening , enjoyed the banquet
given at the Hotel Cadillac tonight In cele
bration ot the completion and dedication of
lie new Detroit Chamber ot Commerce . After
upward of an hoi'r's discussion of the elab
orate menu , the company listened to able
discussions of Interesting subjects by promi
nent men. The guests were welcomed by
Hufus W. Glllett , president of the Detrlot
Chamber of Commerce , and Thomas W.
I'almcr presiding happily as toast master.
The first toast was eloquently responded to
liy Hon. W. C. Maybury of Detroit. Ills
subject was : "No North , no South , no East ,
no West , but the Commercial Supremacy ot
n Great Nation. "
"Cummerco of the Inland Seas" was ro-
rponded to by Harvey 13. Oouldor , chief
counsel of the Lake Carriers' association.
COMMI3UCH A BOND OF UNION.
In opening Mr. Depcw said that while
Intilncss men might differ politically , the
.various chambers ot commerce ) considered
only the questions affecting commerce upon
recognized principles of commercial pros
perity , the Immutable laws of trade , saying :
"Thus It Is thai the commerce of the United
Blutea Is the ever strengthening bond ot
union of the commonwealths which consti
tute the republic. "
Ho referred to the necessity for the asso
ciation of Interests and capital ami said :
"There Is no more beneficent form of asso
ciations than those beards of trade and
chambers of commerce which are now estab
lished all over this country. There will bo
n central chamber of commerce In Wash
ington In which each ot these bodies will
liavc representation.
"When a business man becomes a member
ot congress the effort to spread himself over
this great country seems to so thin his
gray matter as to make him Incapable ol
bringing to the business of the nation the
r.amo common sense which made him succss-
ful at home. The most remarkable Illustra
tion of this Is the congress that has Just
adjourned. Instead of relief we had a babel
of propositions , , which only added to the
general confusion and mndo tlio day of the
adjournment of congress a day ot national
thanksgiving. The National Chamber of Corn-
msrce would bo a Kindergarten on economical
questions for the Instruction ot the mem
bers of congress. "
The speaker went Into details on the
freight rates of the world , showing that Ir
this country the rate question was only one-
third that of Kurope. Continuing ho said
"The Internal commerce of our country
makes It the most wonderful market evei
known. Our Internal commerce Is so vasl
that the sum of the traffic of Home wher
flho commanded the world , of Genoa wher
8ho was queen ot the Mediterranean , ol
Venice when she commanded the seas , an
but as rivulets to the 'Father of Waters. '
"Wo will always and must always avoli
complications In European and Asiatic poll
tics , but no foreign power can exercise hos
tile authority In Hawaii or Central Amerlc :
or Mexico or our sister republics of thi
touthern hemispheres without receiving froir
us protest and resistance.
CONFIDENCE BEGETS 1'IcOSI'EUITY.
"How are we to preserve our prosperity'
With confidence a business ot Incalculabli
magnitude can get along with very llttl (
currency ; without confidence there Is no
enough ihoney In the world to conduct tin
business of the United States. Wo have
been at the bottom , and wo ore on the up
grade of prosperity. We should have a rev
enue system so well defined that It coukl
not bo disturbed , except In minor details , foi
i generation. While not discussing the tarlfl
or free trade , we should have a revenue sys
tem which will most the requirements of tin
government , and to support It without dlrec
taxation.
"The United States Is a debtor national
municipal , railway and Individual , to tin
extent of about $14,000,000,000. Of this one
third Is held abroad. A well defined policj
to pay our debts at 75 cents , or nt 50 cents
on the dollar would lead to $2,000,000,000 01
$3,000,000,000 of our securities coming hoim
for us to take. The presentation of then
In our markets would endanger the stablllt ]
of every Industry , derange every exchange
and paralyze every business In the Unite
States. There can bo but ono standard o
value , and that Is a metal which will brliij
the same price whether It Is In bar or ha
the stamp of the government upon It. 1
dollar must bo worth a hundred cents any
wheru In the United States , and a liundroi
cents anywhere In the world. "
"Tho Effect upon Commerce of Pooling b ;
Transportation Lines" was responded to b ;
George H. Blanchard , commissioner of th
Central Traffic association.
Hon. O. I ) . Ashley , president of th
IWabash railroad , responded eftectlvly t
"Commerco and Transportation , One and In
separable. "
TIME TO AWAKE.
In responding to the toast , "The Currency,1
Comptroller Eckels said :
It Is Impossible within the brief limits of
conventional otter dinner address to do mor
than touch upon the sentiment which has jus
been announced , and to which I am asked t
respond. I shall , therefore , content mysel
wltti giving expression to such general view
as seem to me to bo pertinent to a slngl
phase of the currency question , as It toda
engages public thought and commands th
people's attention. I am sure all will agre
that It Is the most Important problem wit
which the executive ami legislative branche
of the government have now to deal , and a

Buch time forces Itself Into activity , pu

runds the right thing Instead.
COMPLETE CHANGE OF STANDARD.
I believe wo have come to a point In th
discussion of our monetary system and agltt
tlon for a complete change In our etandai
et value , when this mass of opinion shoul
Riot only be aroused but should make Use
an active force In putting an end to the cm
jency vagaries of which the frea silver movi
? nent as today presented IB the culmlnatloi
If commercial an I Industrial revival Is to coi
iinue ; recurring loss to every citizen pn
vented ; national and Individual financial cred
And Integrity maintained and ultimate dlsi
ter averted , there muit bo no longer a splr
if hesitation In those who know the banefi
Iffects of the thing proposed. There can t
po political cuds to b * strved , no party coi
eldpratlons to bo advanced , ot sufficient Im
port to warrant any man In long debating
11 to the position hi should take when the
financial honor ot his country Is at staks and
the prosperity of a. great people threatened.
Hero , at least. Is no room for party and no
place for the machinations ot designing poll-
tlclani or arrant demagogues.
The American people cannot too quickly
recognize that they are In the midst of a
propaganda , skillfully and zealously being
carried on , with tha end In view ot revolu
tionizing the country's existing monetary sys
tem. Those who now direct the free silver
Ides , map out the policy of Its advocates and
control tholr actions have ceased playing
with words and put ( rein them the profcsilons
which heretofore have characterized their
Iterances when urging thu cause for which
hey have stood. Their demand today , In-
rpreted In the light of their acts , Is that
he United States shall at once abandon Its
resent standard of value and substitute
he re for , Irrespective and without the co-
pcratlon of any other country , a single sli
er standard. Nowhere Is It suggested by
he sponsors for this latest tenet In the silver
reed that this nation shall even undertake
o maintain at horns a double standard. No-
liere Is their promise given ot an attempt
hrough International agreement to make
very dollar of silver which shall be coined
ho equal In value of every dollar of gold
hlcli conies from the mint and fairly Intcr-
hangeahlo tlirrculth.
CANNOT ISOLATE OURSELVES.
They no longer give recognition to the
ct , attested ly every monetary union form'd
nd conference held , that no nation can Iso-
atc Itself from those with which It has csm-
norclal dealings , and maintain , Independent
f .them , a distinctive standard of value. It
s not even designed that the dollar coined
hall approach In Intrinsic value the value
ch It purports to carry , but Instead a
atlo shall exist between coins of the same
enominatlon which Is patently In-
: orrect and untrue. The position
, \hlch they now assume , of
ecess'ty ' eliminates from their ranks all
, vlio heretofore have struggled to bring about
larger use of sliver In the country's currency
at an Increased ratio , and drives Into the
camp of the opposition every honest champion
of International bimetallism. The plan laid
Is of their own making ; the Isiue ot their own
choosing , and In the fac ? of their acts the
believer in a standard of both gold and sli
er should give them neither aid nor succor.
They challenge the ono and repudiate the
other , and from both should come a united
opposition.
The contention which li now made by the
single silver standard adherents reduced to
ts last analysis Is silver flatlstn pure and
simple. It differs In degree only and not In
principle from the contention of twenty
years ago of the advocate of the unlimited
ssue of Irredeemable greenbacks , and from
that of tlio Issuer of the flat currency ot the
period ot the continental congrets , and the
era ot colonialism. It finds counterpart In
the arguments ot the French revolutionists
who bankrupted the citizens of France with
their millions ot worthless asslgnats and
mandats. It resembles the reasoning of
King Alexis ot Russia , when , more than three
centuries ago , he Impoverished his subjects
and fomented clvl ( strife by undertaking to
force upon them copper copecs of the same
form and value as a substitute for silver
ones.
MEDIUMS BORN OF NEED.
It Is the theory of the socialist and popu
list applied to monetary science. It Is based
upon the belief In what has been aptly termed
"the all powcrfulness" of the state , and Is In
utter disregard of that great fact In financial
history that mediums of exchange and stand
ards of value did not find their origin In
law , but were born of the needs of trade
and commerce. They came Into use through
no legislative action save that which was
wrought In the great parliament of commerce ,
and from then until now the enacted laws
ot councils and of congresses In violation of
the principles underlying them have failed
to control and regulate them. The end al
ways sought by commerc ? , the great arbiter
of every monetary systenn since the dawn of
civilization has been to have in every metallic
money such Intrinsic value as makes the un
stamped coin of the same value as a com
modity of merchandise as the stamped. It
1ms with equal rigor Insisted that In bank
currency there shall bo Immediate redemption
upon presentation In sound metallic currency.
It invokes In behalf ot the money which It
sanctions , and accepts no alchemist and be
lieves In no philosopher's stone. U has ,
throughout all the centuries , stood defiant
agalnstthe , errors of legislative bodies and the
wrongful edicts of kings , and acting upon the
principle that "value knows Its own laws and
follows them In spite of decrees and penal
ties , " has taken the coins of every country
for what they are Intrinsically worth and not
for what the legal stamp represents thorn to
be worth. The commercial world has wltli
unvarying precision drawn the true distinction
which exists between true value In a nation's
currency and the sign of value * afllxcd to It ,
and standing upon that line of demarcation
It has b-en as Indifferent to the laws of greal
nations as of small.
CONFIDENCE IS ESSENTIAL.
Those who represent. In this splendid city ,
the Interests of commerce , cannot afford tc
be unmindful of the condition which con
fronts them. If the standard of value upon
which all commercial transactions are tiasei :
Is made uncertain by any experimental legis
lation , It capital becomes alarmed and credll
once more restricted , the magnificent temple
which has been here dedicated to the uses
of commerce , where faith ts wanting in r
country's medium of exchange and tradln ;
reduced to mere betting. The question tc
which the friends ot the maintenance of ;
medium ot exchange of unquestioned am
unquestionable value , must address them'
selves Is not how to temporarily defeat tin
advocates ot free coinage of silver as the )
now present It , but how to permanently In
sure the country against the danger whlcl
would flow frcm cbrystallzlng Into law an ]
monetary suggestion which Is based In wholi
or In part upon the doctrine of flatlsm. Sue !
result cannot be attained by either scofllnj
at their leaders or underestimating thi
sources of strength ot those who range them
selves under their banners. As long as thej
have the enthusiasm which springs from tin
belief In their lessening the woes of thi
debt-burdened classes to urge them to effor
and the encouragement of the timorous am
compromising In the rank of those who op
pose them , they will continue an active forci
In monetary agitation and an element li
American politics that warrants recognition
and sturdy opposition.
The forces ot fiat tllver currency , of Irre
deemable paper and their popullstlc allies cai
bo permanently eradicated as factors worth ]
of consideration and sources of dlsconten
and financial loss In but one way , and thai
lies through the gateway ot sound monetary
education. To this work the Individual am
the nation's good demands that In season am
out there be such labor performed as shal
at no distant day result In their being beatei
squarely upon the Issues for which they stain
and the country rid of the disasters attendan
upon their hope of ultimate success.
Letters of regret were read from Presldeni
Cleveland , ex-President Harrison and Sen

CHICAGO , April 26. ( Special. ) Doubtless
the experience of the men who have had
charge ot the construction ot the Chicago
drainage canal would bo ot much value to
those who may direct the building ot the
power canal from the Plattc river to Omaha ,
but the difficulty Is to got a comprehensive
record ot the experiences ot the Chicago ofll-
ctals. Their work has been In progress tor
several years , and they hava already spent
about $12,000.000 , but It Is a remarkable tact
that they Issued no printed report ot their
work until recently. The reports ot several
officers for the year 1S9I have been published
In a sixty-page pamphlet. It Is largely com
posed of tables , showing how the trustees
pent $7,600,000 during that year. There Is
page summary , which Includes all expenses
p to 1895 , but beyond that there Is little
nformatlon about the work of last year ,
n the absence of printed records 0110 seek-
ng Information about this gigantic work
must go personally to the men who have
iuperlntendoj It.
Lyman 12. Cooley Is In ninny respects the
icst man for the purpose. He Is a civil engl-
ccr ot standing and has been associated with
he enterprise since the time of Its Inception ,
nd Indeed has been credited with suggesting
he project. He frankly admits that ho Is ot
sanguine temperament , and smiles Indul-
ently when he tells how people call him a
rank , but ho Insists no great enterprise was
vcr consummated unless thete was an op-
Imlst behind It. Mr. Cooley was for some
'cars ' connected with the government work
in the Mississippi and the Missouri rivers
nd was for two years stationed at Nebraska
Jlty. In speaking of the proposed Omaha
anal , he said :
MAKE IT A I'UDLIC AFFAIR.
"I have no doubt Omaha can get a great
vater power by tapping the I'latte rlvor , and
he soil Is such that It can be constructed at
a ccst surprisingly small In comparison with
he Chicago canal. As I iccill the ttpograp-iy
f the country , 1 presume Omaha can get a
'all ' of about 200 feet. I would like to say
Ms to Omaha people : Make the enterprise a
; > ubllc affair. Many years of study have
convinced me that there Is less stealing In
public enterprises than In private. I know
his Is contrary to the general opinion , but I
hlnk any man who will Investigate the finan
ciering of railways and water wj Xs will
agree with me. The rings on Un li side
grow fat on them , and while they m y k'ep
.vltliin the letter of the law , they in reality
rob the public , because the people are forced
o pay earnings on fictitious values.
"I would advise the men In charge of the
Omaha enterprise not to be too economical
n their allowance for preliminary engineer
ing expenses. The engineering work on the
lilcago canal has cost over $300,000 , but I
believe It would hav ? been less If a broader
view had ruled at the outset , and there
would have been large savings In other ways.
\Vo had In some sections Insufficient data as
to the character of the material to be ex
cavated , and when contractors found It more
difficult than was expected they threw up
their contracts. You cannot hold the bonds-
meu of a contractor In such case. The courts
hold that It Is the duty of the party of the
flrst part to give the contractor accurate In
formation ot the work on which he bids. If
ho bids on an uncertainty the transaction
partakes of the nature of gambling , and the
contractor can go Into a court of equity and
escape the penalty. That may be a point
worth knowing.
"In locating the route of the Chicago canal
a number of lines were surveyed , and the
final course was selected by a course ot elimi
nation. It takes In parts of several of the
surveys. Here In a point to bo remembered.
Every engineer has his own particular Idea
about a given undertaking , and , being human ,
he bends all arguments to bolster his plan.
Several engineers will produce a
variety of Ideas , and by propr
selection a better result can often
bo obtained. Ilewaro of the engineer who Is
cocksure of Ills estimates on a largo enter
prise. The wise engineer is seldom positive ,
because he knows there are too many uncer
tain quantities In the problem. The quack
In engineering , as In other professions , is
generally positive In his opinions. Men In
charge of big enterprises often Insist on haV'
Ing a positive assurance as to the cost , and
there Is danger in that fact. Wo have
learned some of these lessons very well ic
our experience with the Chicago canal.
THICKS OF LAND OWNERS.
"Don't advertise the exact route of the
Omaha canal very long before the right ol
way Is secured. There arc probably elab
orate provisions In the Nebraska law for con
demning a right of way , but the Ingenuity
of the schemes of land owners to blackmail
the enterprise will astonish the men In
charge. We found In some coses that a
number of land owners had formed a com
pact not to sell their land for less than an
agroeJ figure. It was our policy to buy the
right of way without going Into the courts ,
If possible , and In cases like those wo gen
erally succeeded In finding one land ownei
who would sell at a reasonable figure. Some ,
times wo could find several such. Wo woulc
use the prices paid them as evidence Ir
court , and generally after defeating ono suet
obstinate men In court , the others would
capitulate. There were other cases In which
the owner had sold a strip of his property tc
another individual on the pretense that li
was for a switch to a projected factory
and ho maintained that to crosi
It with the canal would dcstroj
a valuable right. Other men had
Imaginary factory sites on the canal right o
way , and still others wanted to plat town !
on It and enhance Its value. We found rea
estate men vary from $500 to $2,000 per ocn
In their valuation of land , and the tcmpta
tlon to bleed the public was BO great that thi
canal trustees went so far as to have a do
tectlve to watch the Juries In condemnatlor
suits to see that they were not Improporl :
approached. In two-thirds of the candemna
tlon suits the trustees cot the land for les ;
than they had offered the owners. The trus
tees had a committee from the Real Gstati
exchange to value the lands for them , am
their figures wore acceptable In the majorit ;
of cases. "
IMPORTANT LEGAL POINTS.
Many questions of law and equity wll
arise In the course ol the condemnation eland
land for the Omaha canal , and here agali
may Its managers draw on the experience o
those In charge of the Chicago enterprise
Following are brief abstracts , furnished b ;
the law department , of points determined li
the Illinois courts :
The sanitary district must , ot necessity , ti
a modified extent , bo allowed to determlm
for itself the quantity of land to be taken ti
be used for Its channel , but It has no rlgh
to abuse the power conferred or to taki
more lands than are reasonably neco < ? rv ti
be used In the construction and malntc.unci
of Its drains and outlets.
When the amount of land sought to bi
taken Is claimed to be In excess of a reason
able amount , the land owners will have tin
right to demand tbo production In court o
the plans and profiles of the proposed Im
provement.
It Is not proper for the Jury , when sen
out to view the premises sought to be con
demned , to go upon and view other tract :
of land In the same locality ; and the fall
uro of a party to object to the Jury Inupect
Ing other lands will not waive his objec
tlon.
tlon.Whero
Where no objection Is raised In the trla
ot a condemnation suit , that the petttlono
Is seeking to condemn an unnecessar ;
amount of land , the refusal of the court ti
require the production ot detailed plans am
specifications of the proposed Improvcmcn
Is not assignable as error.
In estimating the value ot land taken th
jury cannot consider Its capacity ot bclni
Improved by diking the adjoining river
where the effect of such diking would b
to overflow the land of others.
Chancery will not entertain a bill to spe
clfically enforce contracts relating to per
Banal property , nor contracts which , by tbo !
terms , call for A succession of acts , o
\Yhlch rcqulro protracted supervision and di
rection.

Under the practice 6T this state , objection
to the equity of a blllflAay bo made by an
swer , , /
The sanitary dlstHct , being a municipal

About ten years Biq , a series ot heavy
rnlns so .flooded the Chc/igo | river that It getup
up n current and carried the sewage out to
the water works cribs' In the lake , and the
people of Chicago had to boll their drink
ing water to purity U. A citizens' commit
tee began an Investigation and called In Mr.
Cooley as a professional adviser. The com
mittee concluded It nolslblo to construct a
system ot drainage with an outlet Into the
IIHInols river many miles to the south , and
the possibilities were presented In a report
to the city council. The council passed an
ordinance creating a commission to make an
official Investigation and appropriated $60,000.
The commission spent a year and a halt In
the work and reported In favor of the drain
age canal to the south. The city people
went to the legislature In 1S87 for the neces
sary legislation , but the country people south
of Chicago succeeded In having It killed.
The legislature of 18S9 passed a general law
under which the great drainage canal Is
being constructed ,
The law provides that G.OOO voters may
petition for the erection of a sanitary dls-
rlct. The county Judge Is directed to call
n two district court judges , who shall sit us
a board to hear evidence as to the proper
oundarles for the district. After that Is
determined the county judge must submit
at the following November election the ques-
Ion of establishing the proposed sanitary
district. If the proposition Is carried at the
; K > lls the county judge Is directed to call an
lection to elect nine trustees , whoso term
of office Is for five years. The salary Is llm-
ted to $3.000 a year , except for the presi
dent , who may receive $1,000. As soon as
his board organizes It becomes a corporate
body that may sue and bo sued , acquire and
sell property and make contracts.
The Chicago district Is Independent of city
and county political organizations. It in
cludes only that part of the city north of
Klghty-seventh street and about forty-three
square miles of Cook county outside of Chi
cago. It has full power to pass all necessary
ordinances , rules and regulations for the
proper management of the business of the
board and for carrying Into effect the ob
jects for which the sanitary district Is
formed. It may borrow money by Issuing
bonds to the amount of C per cent ot the
valuation of the property In the district , pro
viding the G per cent shall not exceed $15-
000,000. The trustees may levy and collect
taxes to the extent of one-half of 1 per cent
of the value of the taxable property within
the district. They are given full power tc
condemn needed land In the same manner as
the railroads under the state law for the
exercise of the right ot eminent domain.
DIMENSIONS OF THE CANAL.
A few facts about the Chicago drainage
canal will be of timely Interest for com
parison with the Omaha enterprise , thougl
It must be remembered that the lattci
will not bo nearly as extensive 01
costly on undertaking. Chicago's cana
Is to be thirty-three miles long
The right of way varies In width fron
600 to 1,000 feet , and the trustees havi
bought about C.COO acres ' for that purpose
The price has varied 'from $30 an acre foi
land In the country to $5,000 for property Ir
the city of Chicago , apd the total coU ha :
been approximately $2,500,000. Real cstati
values have been depressed by the hart
times , and It Is believed that quite $1,000,001
has been saved through the purchase ot lam
In hard times. The trustees have beei
forced to acquire 2,300 'acres by condemna
tlon , and have secured 4,200 by direct pur
chase. . \
The law requires that the channel shall b
of such size as will " 'produce and maintain a
all times a continuous ( low of not less thai
300,000 cubic feet of water per minute , am
to be of a depth of not less than fourtee :
feet and a current not'exceeding three mile
per hour ; and If nny portion of such channe
shall be cut through a..t rrltory with a rock
stratum , such portjon pf said channel shal
have double the flowing capacity above pro
vldcd for and a width of not less tlm
'
ICO feet at the bottom. capable of producln
a depth of not less than eighteen feet o
water. " This Is Intended to supply sufllcien
capacity for a city of 1,500,000. There Is
provision requiring the enlargement of th
canal by 20,000 cubic feet for each addltlonn
100.000 of population up to 3,000,000. Ther
Is also a provision requiring the capacity I
be Increased to 000,000 cubic feet per mlnul
whenever the national government shall lir
prove the Illinois and Desplalnes rivers I
such manner as will prmlt the passage i
vessels drawing less than eighteen feet. Th
provision was Inserted In the law with ti
hope that the government would seize tt
opportunity to use the drainage canal as tt
connecting link In a great ship canal brtwoe
Lake Michigan and the Mississippi river.
CHARACTER OF THE WORK.
The territory through which the can :
passes Is of two general formations , dcslf
natod as rock and glacial drift. The glacU
drift Is defined as the top soil , earth , mucl
sand , gravel , clay , hard pan , boulders , fras
mentary rock displaced from Its original bet
and other material that ovorlles the roc
bed. In the glacial drift the channel Is c
varying width , In some places as narrow e
110 feet at the bottom , while In rock
stretches It Is never less than ICO foot i
the bottom. The reason for this Is that th
dirt part of the channel can be enlarged c
any time In the future by dredging wlthou
Interfering with the use of the canal , whll
the cut In the rock Is made largo enough fc
a city of 3,000,000 and for navigation. C
course , this anticipation of future cond
tlons enormously Increases the cost ot th
work. The contracts for the excavation c
glacial drift vary from 19 9-10 cents pc
cubic yard to 5C cents. The cost of takln
out the rock ranges from 70 cents to $1.50.
Ground was broken on the canal 1
September , 1892 , and It Is thought the wor
will bo done in November , 1896. Contract
have bcn let for all the excavating , amouni
Ing to over 40,000,000 cubic yards. Th
whole volume of rock and earth thus remove

the water line. The contracts aggregal
about $18,500,000. On January 1. 1895 , abo\ \
45 per cent of excavating had been dom
The cost of the canal proper had bsen est
mated at $21,000,000 , but there ara othi
necessary works , Interest on bonds , etc
that will probably bring the cost up to $27
000,000. For example , It was necessary t
construct a new channel for the Desplaim
river for a distance ot thirteen miles. Till

no constant and reliable fountain suppl
During some seasons Us whole dlsclmrj
would pass through a six-Inch pipe and i
others Its volume reaches 800,000 cubic fei
per minute. Then It floods the whole vallej
It was necessary to control this river befor
building the canal , end-that control was s <
cured by constructing , what Is known as th
river diversion chanfiel' , . which cost $ l,000,00i
This work Included tin building ot nlnetee
miles of dike to peparato the river froi
the drainage channprqnd the constructlo
of a spillway as a safety valve , to let tt
surplus water run toward Chicago until tti
drainage canal Is completed.
There are also yet/to'be / ' constructed bridge

lad raised $12,780,000. This Included JJ-
:00,000 : from taxes and $3.000,000 from bonds.
They had expended about $11,500,000.
AN ARMY KMl'LOYED.
One may take another view ol the masnl-
tide of the work through the number of men
mployed on It. The drainage trustees have
00 men under their Immedlte employ , which
ncludes 112 In the engineering department.
The contractors last year bad an average of
over G.OOO men at work. The trustees had
no power to fix the wages of the employes
it the contractors , but they passed a resolti-
Ion expressing the sentiment that common
abor should not bo paid tcs ; than 16 cents
per hour , and the contractors accepted that
ate as fair. During the- labor disturbances
of last year there wore no strikes on the
canal. The trustees also arranged that con-
Factors should care for sick and Injured.
When smallpox appeared In this section all
the men on the canal were vaccinated. The
rustees organized a police force of about
fifty men , with eight horses and four wagons.
During 1S91 this force made nearly 1,000
nrrests , cared for twenty-seven dead , twenty-
seven sick and Injured and sent slxtc-en to
lospltals. This was In an estimated popu-
atlon ot about 8,000.
The magnitude of this work has ( purred
.he contractors to make cxperkmsnts In clevis-
ng machinery for cheapening the cost ot ex
cavation , and the Omaha canal will doubtless
get the benefit of their experience. Ths chief
engineer estimates that the contractors have
machinery and other equipments on the canal
of the value of $3,000.000. Much of this can
bo used In work elsewhere * . One firm has
two hydraulic dredges which are doing phe
nomenal work. In 8S2 working days they
excavated 1,538.000 cubic yards , an average
ot 1,732 yards per day. Others contractors
liavo a contrivance that resembles a canti
lever bridge. U Is CIO feet long , dumps soil
from a helghth ot ninety feet , and has an
estimated capacity of several hundred cubic
feet per hour. It has a series of steel pans
which are filled by gang- plows operated by
steam. It cost $32,000. Another contractor
uses compressed air and gets his power from
locomotive. Others employ systems of
cable cars.
The largest output for a single month was
n last August , when It amounted to 1,100.000
cubic yards of glacial drift and 41G.OOO cubic
yards of solid rock , calling for the payment
of $ GG5.000. The record made by the con
tractors on one section during the month of
July has probably never bw > n equaled In all
the ages since began to quarry stone.
Tbo movement on that section for the month
was 74,800 cubic yards of solid rock.

Circumstances attending the escape ofV ,

Wednesday night furnish conclusive cvldcnca
to the minds ot the county olllcluls that tlio
mun was frlKtilni ; Insanity and that ho had
been watching for the opportunity tor somu
time.
It will be remembered that Dlnklo wa ar
rested some months ago and charged with
burglary. It was proved that he entered n
barn belonging to Husmus Gehl of McArdlo
precinct , from which he stole several tots
ot harness. Soon niter being pKtccd In cus
tody DlnUle commenced to chow signs ot ln
sanity , but , notwithstanding this , ho was
given n preliminary hearing In police court
nnd hold to the district court. Ho was con
fined In the county Jail , where ho was ex
amined by Dr. Tllden and pronounced sane.
The case wns then called to the attention ot
the members of the Board of Insanity and
the man adjudged sane. Ills attorneys , how
ever , were not content to let the matter rest
there , and , going Into the criminal section of
the district court , they iccurcd nn order for
Dlnkle to appear before the judge , who , Ignor
ing the * Insanity board , summoned n jury for
the purpose of trying the man's sanity. Dr.
Tilden and several other experts appeared and
testified that Dlnklo was. feigning , wb.Ho two
doctors , Upjohn and Dotwcller , testltlcd that
he was Insane. The jurors gave the man all
of the benefits ot the doubt , and within two
minutes atter retiring to their room they ,
returned , bringing In n verdict to the effect
that the man was Insane. With that find
ing ho was hustled away to the asylum , but
there the superintendent refused to accept
Dlnkle , holding that he knew of no law by
which a judge ot the district court couhl
find It within his power to order a man to
the Insane asylum , especially when the Board
of Insanity had found the same iran to ba
sane. Receiving this decision Sheriff Drcxcl
returned to Omaha , bringing Dlnklo with
him , but what to do with him ho did not
know.
To make assurance doubly ture , Dlnklo
was ngnln taken before the Bo.ird of Insanity ,
but as there were no new symptoms In tha
case the members simply reiterated thclf
decision and said that the jail and not tha
mad house was the proper phco for thct
admirer of harnesses which belonged to
others. At this point the judge of the crim
inal court stepped In and ordered-Dlnklo to
the county hospital , whcro for weeks ho
watched for an opportunity to escape.
Wednesday night the opportunity presented
Itself , and , finding n window open , the fellow
crawled through , taking along his clothel
and all of his other belongings.

is Death ?
Not many folks speak dead languages nowadays
and it's very hard to find out. Death is very fool
ish in some cases. Lots of folks die every year that
could postpone it as well as not if they'd use a little
common sense. Are you getting all run down ? Get
ting consumption , are you ? Doctor says you are in a
bad way , does he ? Do you want to die ? If you do ,
don't try our kind of medicine. If you want to live ,
take Ozoimilsioii. It only costs a dollar to try it. It
can't hurt you. There's not much in it but cod liver
oil and guaiacol. The doctor probably gives you the
common cod liver oil now. But this is ozonized. .
How's that done ? That's our secret. That's what
helps the cod liver oil and guaiacol to go where it will
do the most good. Try it. It will make you hungry
things will look better to you you'll eat more you'll
get more flesh on your bones you'll begin to build up
you may get better right away. If one bottle helps

cutting to. It following
Properly,
Detroit, Mich., May 2. Upward of 330
leading business men of Detroit, with their
guests of the evening, enjoyed the banquet
given at the Hotel Cadillac tonight in celebration
of the completion and dedication of
the new Detroit Chamber of Commerce. After
upward of an hour's discussion of the elaborate menu,
the company listened to able
discussions of interesting subjects by prominent
men. The guests were welcomed by
Hufus W. Gillett, president of the Detroit
Chamber of Commerce, and Thomas W.
Palmer presiding happily as toastmaster.
The first toast was eloquently responded to
by Hon. W. C. Maybury of Detroit. His
subject was: "No North, no South, no East,
no West, but the Commercial Supremacy of
a Great Nation."
"Coeur d'Alene of the Inland Seas" was responded to by Harvey B. Goulding, chief
counsel of the Lake Carriers' association.
COMMERCIAL A BOND OF UNION.
In opening Mr. Depew said that while
business men might differ politically, the
various chambers of commerce considered
only the questions affecting commerce upon
recognized principles of commercial prosperity,
the immutable laws of trade, saying:
"Thus it is that the commerce of the United
States is the ever-strengthening bond of
union of the commonwealths which constitute
the republic."
He referred to the necessity for the association
of interests and capital and said:
"There is no more beneficent form of associations
than those boards of trade and
chambers of commerce which are now established
all over this country. There will be
a central chamber of commerce in Washington in which each of these bodies will
have representation.
"When a businessman becomes a member
of congress, the effort to spread himself over
this great country seems to so thin his
gray matter as to make him incapable of
bringing to the business of the nation the
same common sense which made him successful at home.
The most remarkable illustration of this is the congress that has just
adjourned. Instead of relief, we had a babel
of propositions, which only added to the
general confusion and made the day of the
adjournment of congress a day of national
thanksgiving. The National Chamber of Commerce would be a kindergarten on economical
questions for the instruction of the members of congress."
The speaker went into details on the
freight rates of the world, showing that in
this country the rate question was only one-third that of Europe. Continuing, he said
"The internal commerce of our country
makes it the most wonderful market ever
known. Our internal commerce is so vast
that the sum of the traffic of Rome where
she commanded the world, of Genoa where
she was queen of the Mediterranean, of Venice when she commanded the seas, and
but as rivulets to the 'Father of Waters.'"
"We will always and must always avoid
complications in European and Asiatic politics,
but no foreign power can exercise hostile authority in Hawaii or Central America
or Mexico or our sister republics of the
southern hemispheres without receiving from
us protest and resistance.
CONFIDENCE BEGETS PROSPERITY.
"How are we to preserve our prosperity?
With confidence, a business of incalculable
magnitude can get along with very little
currency; without confidence, there is not
enough money in the world to conduct the
business of the United States. We have
been at the bottom, and we are on the upgrade of prosperity. We should have a revenue system so well defined that it could
not be disturbed, except in minor details, for
a generation. While not discussing the tariff
or free trade, we should have a revenue system which will most efficiently meet the
requirements of the government, and to support it without direct taxation.
"The United States is a debtor nation,
municipal, railway, and individual, to the
extent of about $14,000,000,000. Of this one
third is held abroad. A well-defined policy
to pay our debts at 75 cents, or at 50 cents
on the dollar would lead to $2,000,000,000 or
$3,000,000,000 of our securities coming home
for us to take. The presentation of them
in our markets would endanger the stability
of every industry, derange every exchange,
and paralyze every business in the United
States. There can be but one standard of
value, and that is a metal which will bring the same price whether it is in bar or has the stamp of the government upon it. A dollar must be worth a hundred cents anywhere in the United States, and a hundred cents anywhere in the world."
"The Effect upon Commerce of Pooling by
Transportation Lines" was responded to by
George H. Blanchard, commissioner of the
Central Traffic association.
Hon. O. D. Ashley, president of the
Lake Shore railroad, responded effectively to
"Commerce and Transportation, One and Inseparable."
TIME TO AWAKE.
In responding to the toast, "The Currency,"
Comptroller Eckels said:
It is impossible within the brief limits of
conventional after-dinner address to do more
than touch upon the sentiment which has just
been announced, and to which I am asked to
respond. I shall, therefore, content myself
with giving expression to such general views
as seem to me to be pertinent to a single
phase of the currency question, as it today
engages public thought and commands the
people's attention. I am sure all will agree
that it is the most important problem with
which the executive and legislative branches
of the government have now to deal, and a
such demands that there be brought to bear
to its solution statesmanship as wise as it is
patriotic, and as honest as it is wise. It
involves too great interests and is too widely
reaching in its effects to be considered from
any other standpoint than the desire to reach
such conclusions as will work out the best
results for this land, in which the well-being
of the happiness, the aspirations of every
patriotic American centers.
Its discussion has been precipitated at
a time when the country is emerging from
a period of financial and commercial depression
widespread and of long continued duration.
It finds every avenue of trade giving evidence
of renewed activity; mill and factory again
in operation and agriculture promising to
those engaged in its pursuit, abundant harvests and appreciating prices. It presses itself
upon the laborer now no longer idle
but busy with the employment which has come with the settlement of questions which
have long vexed the public mind, and after
ample demonstration of the ability of the
government to maintain unstinted the public
faith and the nation's credit. It under such
circumstances the cause of those who stand
against the schemes proposed to rid by means
of law a people from making proper payment
of their just debts, and give them riches
through legislative action cannot be sustained
by the experience of all monetary history
which, if reversed. If this contest shall end otherwise
than in the triumph of that which is right in theory and sound in principle, it will
be because the American people have let
much of that good sense and honesty which
a great writer declared, though sometimes
permitting an agitation for something wrong,
finds mischievous, always when the danger
point is reached brings forth a mass of opinion,
which, though ordinarily quiescent, at such
time forces itself into activity, puts down the
wrong thing and peremptorily bids the right
thing instead.
COMPLETE CHANGE OF STANDARD.
I believe we have come to a point in the discussion of our monetary system and agitation for a complete change in our standard of value, when this mass of opinion should not only be aroused but should make use of an active force in putting an end to the economic vagaries of which the free silver movement as today presented is the culmination. If commercial and industrial revival is to continue; recurring losses to every citizen prevented; national and individual financial credit and integrity maintained and ultimate disaster averted, there must be no longer any spiritual hesitation in those who know the benefits of the thing proposed. There can be no political goods to be served, no party considerations to be advanced, of sufficient importance to warrant any man in long debating his position when the financial honor of his country is at stake and the prosperity of a great people threatened. Here, at least, is no room for party and no place for the machinations of designing politicians or arrant demagogues.
The American people cannot too quickly recognize that they are in the midst of a propaganda, skillfully and zealously being carried on, with the end in view of revolutionizing the country's existing monetary system. Those who now direct the free silver ideologues, map out the policy of their advocates and control their actions have ceased playing with words and put forth the professions which heretofore have characterized their interventions when urging the cause for which they have stood. Their demand today, interpreted in the light of their acts, is that the United States shall at once abandon its present standard of value and substitute therefor, irrespective and without the cooperation of any other country, a single silver standard. Nowhere is it suggested by the sponsors for this latest tenet in the silver creed that this nation shall even undertake to maintain at par a double standard. Nowhere is their promise given of an attempt through international agreement to make every dollar of silver which shall be coined the equal in value of every dollar of gold which comes from the mint and fairly interchangeable thereat.
CANNOT ISOLATE OURSELVES.
They no longer give recognition to the fact, attested by every monetary union formed and conference held, that no nation can isolate itself from those with which it has commercial dealings, and maintain, independent of them, a distinctive standard of value. It is not even designed that the dollar coined shall approach in intrinsic value the value which it purports to carry, but instead a ratio shall exist between coins of the same denomination which is patently incorrect and untrue. The position which they now assume, of necessity, eliminates from their ranks all who heretofore have struggled to bring about larger use of silver in the country's currency at an increased ratio, and drives into the camp of the opposition every honest champion of international bimetallism. The plan laid is of their own making; the issue of their own choosing, and in the face of their acts the believer in a standard of both gold and silver should give them neither aid nor succor. They challenge the one and repudiate the other, and from both should come a united opposition.
The contention which is now made by the single silver standard adherents reduced to its last analysis is silver fatalism pure and simple. It differs in degree only and not in principle from the contention of twenty years ago of the advocate of the unlimited issue of irredeemable greenbacks, and from that of the issuer of the fiat currency of the period of continental congress, and the era of colonialism. It finds counterpart in the arguments of the French revolutionists who bankrupted the citizens of France with their millions of worthless assignats and mandats. It resembles the reasoning of King Alexis of Russia, when, more than three centuries ago, he impoverished his subjects and fomented civil strife by undertaking to force upon them copper coins of the same form and value as a substitute for silver coins.
MEDIUMS BORN OF NEED.
It is the theory of the socialist and populist applied to monetary science. It is based upon the belief in what has been aptly termed "the all powerfulness" of the state, and is in utter disregard of that great fact in financial history that mediums of exchange and standards of value did not find their origin in law, but were born of the needs of trade and commerce. They came into use through no legislative action save that which was wrought in the great parliament of commerce, and from then until now the enacted laws of councils and of congresses in violation of the principles underlying them have failed to control and regulate them. The end always sought by commerce, the great arbiter of every monetary system since the dawn of civilization, has been to have in every metallic money such intrinsic value as makes the unstamped coin of the same value as a commodity of merchandise as the stamped. It has, with equal rigor, insisted that in bank currency there shall be immediate redemption upon presentation in sound metallic currency. It invokes in behalf of the money which it sanctions, and accepts no alchemist and believes in no philosopher's stone. It has, throughout all the centuries, stood defiant against the errors of legislative bodies and the wrongful edicts of kings, and acting upon the principle that "value knows its own laws and follows them in spite of decrees and penalities," has taken the coins of every country for what they are intrinsically worth and not for what the legal stamp represents them to be worth. The commercial world has, with unvarying precision, drawn the true distinction which exists between true value in a nation's currency and the sign of value affixed to it, and standing upon that line of demarcation it has been as indifferent to the laws of great nations as of small.
CONFIDENCE IS ESSENTIAL.
Those who represent, in this splendid city, the interests of commerce, cannot afford to be unmindful of the condition which confronts them. If the standard of value upon which all commercial transactions are based is made uncertain by any experimental legislation, it capital becomes alarmed and credit once more restricted, the magnificent temple which has been here dedicated to the uses of commerce, where faith is wanting in the country's medium of exchange and trading reduced to mere betting. The question to which the friends of the maintenance of a medium of exchange of unquestioned and unquestionable value, must address themselves is not how to temporarily defeat the advocates of free coinage of silver as now present it, but how to permanently insure the country against the danger which would flow from crystallizing into law an monetary suggestion which is based wholly or in part upon the doctrine of fatalism. Such result cannot be attained by either scoffing at their leaders or underestimating the sources of strength of those who range themselves under their banners. As long as they have the enthusiasm which springs from the belief in their lessening the woes of the debt-burdened classes to urge them to effort, and the encouragement of the timorous and compromising in the ranks of those who oppose them, they will continue an active force in monetary agitation and an element in American politics that warrants recognition and sturdy opposition.
The forces of fiat silver currency, of irredeemable paper, and their populist allies can be permanently eradicated as factors worth of consideration and sources of discontent and financial loss in but one way, and that lies through the gateway of sound monetary education. To this work the individual and the nation's good demands that in season and out there be such labor performed as shall, at no distant day, result in their being beaten squarely upon the issues for which they stand and the country rid of the disasters attendant upon their hope of ultimate success.

The Chicago Drainage Canal and Its Bearing on the Omaha Project.
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS BY AN ENGINEER
What Experience Shows in the Inception and Progress of the Work.
Special.) Doubtless the experience of the men who have had charge of the construction of the Chicago drainage canal would be of much value to those who may direct the building of the power canal from the Platte river to Omaha, but the difficulty is to get a comprehensive record of the experiences of the Chicago officials. Their work has been in progress for several years, and they have already spent about $12,000,000, but it is a remarkable fact that they issued no printed report of their work until recently. The reports of several officers for the year 1891 have been published in a sixty-page pamphlet. It is largely composed of tables, showing how the trustees spent $7,600,000 during that year. There is a page summary, which includes all expenses up to 1895, but beyond that there is little information about the work of last year, in the absence of printed records one must seek information personally from the men who have superintended it.
Lyman C. Cooley is in many respects the best man for the purpose. He is a civil engineer of standing and has been associated with the enterprise since the time of its inception, and indeed has been credited with suggesting the project. He frankly admits that he is of a sanguine temperament, and smiles indulgently when he tells how people call him a dreamer, but he insists no great enterprise was ever consummated unless there was an optimist behind it. Mr. Cooley was for some years connected with the government work in the Mississippi and the Missouri rivers and was for two years stationed at Nebraska City. In speaking of the proposed Omaha canal, he said:
MAKE IT A PUBLIC AFFAIR.
"I have no doubt Omaha can get a great water power by tapping the Platte river, and the soil is such that it can be constructed at a cost surprisingly small in comparison with the Chicago canal. As I recollect the topography of the country, I presume Omaha can get a fall of about 200 feet. I would like to say to Omaha people: Make the enterprise a public affair. Many years of study have convinced me that there is less stealing in public enterprises than in private. I know this is contrary to the general opinion, but I think any man who will investigate the financing of railways and waterways will agree with me. The rings on both sides grow fat on them, and while they may keep within the letter of the law, they in reality rob the public, because the people are forced to pay earnings on fictitious values.
"I would advise the men in charge of the Omaha enterprise not to be too economical in their allowance for preliminary engineering expenses. The engineering work on the Chicago canal has cost over $300,000, but I believe it would have been less if a broader view had ruled at the outset, and there would have been large savings in other ways. We had in some sections insufficient data as to the character of the material to be excavated, and when contractors found it more difficult than was expected they threw up their contracts. You cannot hold the bondsman of a contractor in such a case. The courts hold that it is the duty of the party of the first part to give the contractor accurate information of the work on which he bids. If he bids on an uncertainty the transaction partakes of the nature of gambling, and the contractor can go into a court of equity and escape the penalty. That may be a point worth knowing.
"In locating the route of the Chicago canal, a number of lines were surveyed, and the final course was selected by a course of elimination. It takes in parts of several of the surveys. Here is a point to be remembered. Every engineer has his own particular idea about a given undertaking, and, being human, he bends all arguments to bolster his plan. Several engineers will produce a variety of ideas, and by proper selection a better result can often be obtained. Therefore of the engineer who is cocksure of his estimates on a large enterprise. The wise engineer is seldom positive, because he knows there are too many uncertain quantities in the problem. The quack in engineering, as in other professions, is generally positive in his opinions. Men in charge of big enterprises often insist on having a positive assurance as to the cost, and there is danger in that fact. We have learned some of these lessons very well from our experience with the Chicago canal.

Don't advertise the exact route of the Omaha canal very long before the right of way is secured. There are probably elaborate provisions in the Nebraska law for condemning a right of way, but the ingenuity of the schemes of land owners to blackmail the enterprise will astonish the men in charge. We found in some cases that a number of land owners had formed a compact not to sell their land for less than an agro figure. It was our policy to buy the right of way without going into the courts, if possible, and in cases like these we generally succeeded in finding one land owner who would sell at a reasonable figure. Sometimes we could find several such. We would use the prices paid them as evidence in court, and generally after defeating one obstinate man in court, the others would capitulate. There were other cases in which the owner had sold a strip of his property to another individual on the pretense that it was for a switch to a projected factory and he maintained that to cross it with the canal would destroy a valuable right. Other men had imaginary factory sites on the canal right of way, and still others wanted to plat towns on it and enhance its value. We found real estate men value from $500 to $2,000 per acre in their valuation of land, and the temptation to bleed the public was so great that the canal trustees went so far as to have a detective to watch the juries in condemnation suits to see that they were not improperly approached. In two-thirds of the condemnation suits, the trustees got the land for less than they had offered the owners. The trustees had a committee from the Real Estate Exchange to value the lands for them, and their figures were acceptable in the majority of cases.
IMPORTANT LEGAL POINTS.
Many questions of law and equity will arise in the course of the condemnation of land for the Omaha canal, and here again may its managers draw on the experience of those in charge of the Chicago enterprise. Following are brief abstracts, furnished by the law department, of points determined by the Illinois courts:
The sanitary district must, to a modified extent, be allowed to determine for itself the quantity of land to be taken to be used for its channel, but it has no right to abuse the power conferred or to take more lands than are reasonably necessary to be used in the construction and maintenance of its drains and outlets.
When the amount of land sought to be taken is claimed to be in excess of a reasonable amount, the land owners will have the right to demand the production in court of the plans and profiles of the proposed improvement.
It is not proper for the jury, when sent out to view the premises sought to be condemned, to go upon and view other tracts of land in the same locality; and the failure of a party to object to the jury inspecting other lands will not waive his objection.
Where no objection is raised in the trial of a condemnation suit, that the petitioner is seeking to condemn an unnecessary amount of land, the refusal of the court to require the production of detailed plans and specifications of the proposed improvement is not assignable as error.
In estimating the value of land taken, the jury cannot consider its capacity of being improved by diking the adjoining river where the effect of such diking would be to overflow the land of others.
Chancery will not entertain a bill to specifically enforce contracts relating to personal property, nor contracts which, by the terms, call for a succession of acts, which require protracted supervision and direction.
Under the practice of this state, objection to the equity of a bill may be made by an answer.
The sanitary district, being a municipal corporation, is not subject to government. Where the statute provides that contracts for work shall be let to the lowest responsible bidder, the determination as to whether a bidder is responsible is an exercise of official discretion which, in the absence of fraud, the courts will not interfere with.
EDDING OF THE ENTERPRISE.
About ten years ago, a series of heavy rains so flooded the Chicago river that it stopped its current and carried the sewage out to the water works cribs in the lake, and the people of Chicago had to boil their drinking water to purity. A citizens' committee began an investigation and called in Mr. Cooley as a professional adviser. The committee concluded it necessary to construct a system of drainage with an outlet into the Illinois river many miles to the south, and the possibilities were presented in a report to the city council. The council passed an ordinance creating a commission to make an official investigation and appropriated $60,000. The commission spent a year and a half in the work and reported in favor of the drainage canal to the south. The city people went to the legislature in 1887 for the necessary legislation, but the country people south of Chicago succeeded in having it killed. The legislature of 1889 passed a general law under which the great drainage canal is being constructed.
The law provides that 6000 voters may petition for the erection of a sanitary district. The county judge is directed to call upon two district court judges, who shall sit as a board to hear evidence as to the proper boundaries for the district. After that is determined, the county judge must submit at the following November election the question of establishing the proposed sanitary district. If the proposition is carried at the polls, the county judge is directed to call an election to elect nine trustees, whose term of office is for five years. The salary is limited to $3,000 a year, except for the president, who may receive $1,000. As soon as the board organizes, it becomes a corporate body that may sue and be sued, acquire and sell property and make contracts.
The Chicago district is independent of city and county political organizations. It includes only that part of the city north of Fifty-seventh street and about forty-three square miles of Cook county outside of Chicago. It has full power to pass all necessary ordinances, rules and regulations for the proper management of the business of the board and for carrying into effect the objects for which the sanitary district is formed. It may borrow money by issuing bonds to the amount of 5 per cent of the valuation of the property in the district, providing the 5 per cent shall not exceed $15,000,000. The trustees may levy and collect taxes to the extent of one-half of 1 per cent of the value of the taxable property within the district. They are given full power to condemn needed land in the same manner as the railroads under the state law for the exercise of the right of eminent domain.
DIMENSIONS OF THE CANAL.
A few facts about the Chicago drainage canal will be of timely interest for comparison with the Omaha enterprise, though it must be remembered that the latter will not be nearly as extensive or costly an undertaking. Chicago's canal is to be thirty-three miles long, with a right of way that varies in width from 600 to 1,000 feet, and the trustees have bought about 20,000 acres for that purpose. The price has varied from $30 an acre for land in the country to $5,000 for property in the city of Chicago, and the total cost has been approximately $2,500,000. Real estate values have been depressed by hard times, and it is believed that quite $1,000,000 has been saved through the purchase of land in hard times. The trustees have been forced to acquire 2,300 acres by condemnation, and have secured 4,200 by direct purchase.
The law requires that the channel shall be of such size as will "produce and maintain at all times a continuous flow of not less than 300,000 cubic feet of water per minute, and to be of a depth of not less than four feet and a current not exceeding three miles per hour; and if any portion of such channel shall be cut through rock, such portion of said channel shall have double the flowing capacity above provided for and a width of not less than 1,000 feet at the bottom, capable of producing a depth of not less than eighteen feet of water." This is intended to supply sufficient capacity for a city of 1,500,000. There is provision requiring the enlargement of the canal by 20,000 cubic feet for each addition of 100,000 of population up to 3,000,000. There is also a provision requiring the capacity to be increased to 600,000 cubic feet per minute whenever the national government shall prove the Illinois and Desplaines rivers in such manner as will permit the passage of vessels drawing less than eighteen feet. The provision was inserted in the law with the hope that the government would seize the opportunity to use the drainage canal as a connecting link in a great ship canal between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi river.
CHARACTER OF THE WORK.
The territory through which the canal passes is of two general formations, designated as rock and glacial drift. The glacial drift is defined as the top soil, earth, much sand, gravel, clay, hard pan, boulders, fragmented rock, and other material that overlies the rock bed. In the glacial drift, the channel is of varying width, in some places as narrow as 110 feet at the bottom, while in rock stretches it is never less than 1,000 feet at the bottom. The reason for this is that the dirt part of the channel can be enlarged at any time in the future by dredging without interfering with the use of the canal, while the cut in the rock is made large enough for a city of 3,000,000 and for navigation. Of course, this anticipation of future conditions enormously increases the cost of the work. The contracts for the excavation of glacial drift vary from 19 9-10 cents per cubic yard to 50 cents. The cost of taking out the rock ranges from 70 cents to $1.50. Ground was broken on the canal on September 1, 1892, and it is thought the work will be done in November, 1896. Contracts have been let for all the excavating, amounting to over 40,000,000 cubic yards. The whole volume of rock and earth thus removed, if dumped into Lake Michigan in forty feet of water, would make an island one mile square, with its surface eight feet below the water line. The contracts aggregate about $18,500,000. On January 1, 1895, about 45 percent of excavating had been done.
The cost of the canal proper had been estimated at $21,000,000, but there are other necessary works, interest on bonds, etc., that will probably bring the cost up to $27,000,000. For example, it was necessary to construct a new channel for the Desplaines river for a distance of thirteen miles. This river is a stream of wide fluctuations, with no constant and reliable fountain supplying its whole discharge. It was necessary to control this river before building the canal, and that control was secured by constructing, what is known as the river diversion channel, which cost $1,000,000. This work included the building of nineteen miles of dikes to prepare the river from the drainage channel, and the construction of a spillway as a safety valve, to let the surplus water run toward Chicago until the drainage canal is completed.
There are also yet to be constructed bridges and works at the southern end of the canal to control its flow into the Desplaines river at Lockport. The river below that point follows the trough of the valley down to Beecham's pills are for biliousness, bilious headache, dyspepsia, heartburn, torpid liver, dizziness, sick headache, bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, loss of appetite, sallow skin, etc., when caused by constipation and constipation is the most frequent cause of all of them.

Deep declivity to the canal basin at Joliet,
The fluctuations in Lake Michigan will be felt at the controlling works, and provision must be made to meet these fluctuations within a range of five feet above datum and five feet below, or an extreme oscillation of thirteen feet. The elevation from datum at the controlling works to the level of the canal's basin will be about forty-four feet in a distance of four and one-third miles, and a system of locks will be needed for navigation. Up to January 1, 1893, the trustees had raised $12,780,000. This included $6,000,000 from taxes and $3,000,000 from bonds. They had expended about $11,500,000.
AN ARMY EMPLOYED.
One may take another view of the magnitude of the work through the number of men employed on it. The drainage trustees have 800 men under their immediate employment, which includes 112 in the engineering department. The contractors last year had an average of over 6,000 men at work. The trustees had no power to fix the wages of the employees at the contractors, but they passed a resolution expressing the sentiment that common labor should not be paid less than 16 cents per hour, and the contractors accepted that rate as fair. During the labor disturbances of last year, there were no strikes on the canal. The trustees also arranged that contractors should care for sick and injured. When smallpox appeared in this section, all the men on the canal were vaccinated. The trustees organized a police force of about fifty men, with eight horses and four wagons. During 1891, this force made nearly 1,000 arrests, cared for twenty-seven dead, twenty-seven sick and injured, and sent sixteen to hospitals. This was in an estimated population of about 8,000.
The magnitude of this work has caused the contractors to make experiments in clearing machinery for cheapening the cost of excavation, and the Omaha canal will doubtless get the benefit of their experience. The chief engineer estimates that the contractors have machinery and other equipments on the canal of the value of $3,000,000. Much of this can be used in work elsewhere. One firm has two hydraulic dredges which are doing phenomenal work. In 1882, working days they excavated 1,538,000 cubic yards, an average of 1,732 yards per day. Other contractors have a contrivance that resembles a cantilever bridge. It is 600 feet long, dumps soil from a height of ninety feet, and has an estimated capacity of several hundred cubic feet per hour. It has a series of steel pans which are filled by gang-plows operated by steam. It cost $32,000. Another contractor uses compressed air and gets his power from a locomotive. Others employ systems of cable cars.
The largest output for a single month was last August, when it amounted to 1,100,000 cubic yards of glacial drift and 416,000 cubic yards of solid rock, calling for the payment of $645,000. The record made by the contractors on one section during the month of July has probably never been equaled in all the ages since began to quarry stone. The movement on that section for the month was 74,800 cubic yards of solid rock.
FRED DUNZINGER.
Present Illustration of the Advantages of Our Kind of Raft.
WASHINGTON, May 2. The advocates of light draft boats in the navy are pointing out a practical illustration of the necessity of adopting their theory. The Atlanta has been ordered to Greytown, Nicaragua, to protect American interests in case there should be a revolution, and yet it is asserted that the vessel will not be able to get over the bar in the harbor and will be obliged to lay off two or three miles from the city. Of course, in the event of trouble, troops could be sent ashore in boats and some good sized guns could also be landed, but the ship itself with its heavy guns would remain far out from the city. It is argued that a light draft gunboat of twelve feet or less would accomplish much better results by getting close to the locality of any possible disturbance.
The bar at Greytown is about fourteen feet under water and the Atlanta draws about eighteen feet, while the Montgomery, which will take the Nicaragua commission to Greytown, is even of deeper draft, and the commission with all its equipments will have to go ashore in boats over a stretch of two or three miles. The desirability of having the new gunboats constructed so they can ascend South American rivers is also being urged on the secretary. It is urged that there are numerous British gunboats which can easily go up this river, while nearly all the ships of the United States navy would be obliged to remain in the bays. The contest between the advocates of light and deep draft gunboats is quite spirited. Secretary Herbert will decide as to which plan is preferable, as the Hour of Bureau Chiefs has been unable to agree.
No Official News from Paris.
WASHINGTON, May 2. The Department of Agriculture has received no official confirmation of the report from Paris yesterday that seventeen soldiers at Ville died from eating American canned meat. Dr. Salmon said that the cause of poisoning from eating canned goods was not well understood. It did not necessarily follow that the meat was diseased. Some chemical change sometimes took place, which produced the poisonous effects. A report will probably be received in due time from the United States consul general.
July Show Will Feature American Exhibits.
WASHINGTON, May 2. United States Consul Hildreth at Geneva has written to the State department that the Swiss national exposition, to be opened May 1, 1891, is to be a purely national affair and that none of the exhibits of American or any other country except Switzerland will be received.
An exposition, to be held in Lübeck in September, to illustrate the progress of commerce and industry in Prussia, will be confined to German exhibits, save in mining tools and objects useful to dairy farmers, which may be of foreign origin.

Appointive News Once More.
WASHINGTON, May 2. State department officials today said that they had heard nothing of the condition of affairs in Nicaragua or the progress of the attempt to effect a settlement of the difficulty between Great Britain and Nicaragua at London through the good offices of the Salvadoran minister at that post.
Some facts have just come to light respecting the earlier stage of the negotiations which explain in a measure the confidence expressed by our government that the British troops would not be landed at Corinto and the surprise felt by it when the news of the actual landing came to Washington. It is now said that orders had been cabled to Admiral Stoicher, commanding the British fleet off Corinto, to defer the execution of his orders to land the troops until he had heard further from the British government. By cutting the telegraph lines connecting Corinto with San Juan del Sur, the nearest cable port, the Nicaraguans, it is asserted, stopped this mess in transit, and the admiral had neither course open to him than to carry out his original order.
An official dispatch has been received by one of the Central American diplomats in Washington stating that the situation of affairs in Nicaragua is extremely critical, and that an armed conflict between the British and Nicaraguan forces is imminent, unless a settlement is speedily effected. The status of affairs toward a settlement has not changed so far as can be learned. It is insisted that if Great Britain has acceded to the agreement, there is an unexplainable absence of official information on that point. Under these circumstances, diplomats are not yet ready to regard Great Britain's acceptance as an accomplished fact.
The official dispatch that affairs are in a critical state in Nicaragua discloses the embarrassment of the small republics. It is said that the people are indignant at President Zelaya and his associates for not refusing the British by opening fire when the landing was made at Corinto. This feeling is so great that a revolution is feared. Should such a change occur, the revolutionary party would represent the popular feeling of repelling the British with force. A speedy withdrawal of the British from Corinto is relied on to quiet the popular feeling.

DISTRICT AT LARGE ONCE MORE
Charged with Burglary and Sent to County Hospital for Insanity.
BOARD OF INSANITY WAS IGNORED
Finding "and preparing the Synod: but Court Would Not Have That Influence
Claim That Archibald was mental and : . .
circumstances attending the escape of V. K. Dinwiddie from the county hospital on Wednesday night furnish conclusive evidence to the minds of the county officials that the man was suffering from insanity and that he had been watching for the opportunity for some time.
It will be remembered that Dinkle was arrested some months ago and charged with burglary. It was proved that he entered a barn belonging to Simon Gehl of McArdle precinct, from which he stole several lots of harness. Soon after being placed in custody, Dinkle commenced to show signs of insanity, but, notwithstanding this, he was given a preliminary hearing in police court and held to the district court. He was confined in the county jail, where he was examined by Dr. Tilden and pronounced sane. The case was then called to the attention of the members of the Board of Insanity and the man adjudged sane. His attorneys, however, were not content to let the matter rest there, and, going into the criminal section of the district court, they secured an order for Dinkle to appear before the judge, who, ignoring the Board of Insanity, summoned a jury for the purpose of trying the man's sanity. Dr. Tilden and several other experts appeared and testified that Dinkle was feigning, while two doctors, Upjohn and Dotworther, testified that he was insane. The jurors gave the man all of the benefits of the doubt, and within two minutes after retiring to their room, they returned, bringing in a verdict to the effect that the man was insane. With that finding, he was hustled away to the asylum, but there the superintendent refused to accept Dinkle, holding that he knew of no law by which a judge of the district court could find it within his power to order a man to the insane asylum, especially when the Board of Insanity had found the same man to be sane. Receiving this decision, Sheriff Drexl returned to Omaha, bringing Dinkle with him, but what to do with him he did not know.
To make assurance doubly sure, Dinkle was again taken before the Board of Insanity, but as there were no new symptoms in the case, the members simply reiterated their decision and said that the jail and not the mad house was the proper place for the admirer of harnesses which belonged to others. At this point the judge of the criminal court stepped in and ordered Dinkle to the county hospital, where for weeks he watched for an opportunity to escape. Wednesday night the opportunity presented itself, and, finding a window open, the fellow crawled through, taking along his clothes and all of his other belongings.

Is Death?
Not many folks speak dead languages nowadays and it's very hard to find out. Death is very foolish in some cases. Lots of folks die every year that could postpone it as well as not if they'd use a little common sense. Are you getting all run down? Getting consumption, are you? The doctor says you are in a bad way, does he? Do you want to die? If you do, don't try our kind of medicine. If you want to live, take Ozone Inhalation. It only costs a dollar to try it. It can't hurt you. There's not much in it but cod liver oil and guaiacol. The doctor probably gives you the common cod liver oil now. But this is ozone-ized. How's that done? That's our secret. That's what helps the cod liver oil and guaiacol to go where it will do the most good. Try it. It will make you hungry things will look better to you you'll eat more you'll get more flesh on your bones you'll begin to build up you may get better right away. If one bottle helps you ever so little, you've started in the right direction try another.

More than one-half of the members of the

nd more than eleven-tweltttit. of them arc
finding It cxceullngly dry work. Several of
hem arc caught nodding occasionally , as the

It was shown that Richmond took advantage
of his position as secretary to Issue $13,000 $
worth ot stock to himself and paid for It
from the loan fund. Then the stock was
withdrawn , and he pocketed the money. He
also borrowed $10,000 of the association and
! 2cured It by mortggC3 on land , supposed to
situated In Dakota. The mortgages arc
missing , and the land Is Mid to have no cx-
stcnce. With the $10,000 he paid for a lot
of stock In the association , which he then
withdrew and put the cash In his own pocket.

ATTACK ON MANAVVA'H EXISTENCE
Sutti liegnn tuMimr that the Town In Not n
Town nt .Ml.
John Tobln , who really represents some
bigger man , proposes to find out whether
Manawa Is a town or only a summer watering
place , and that desire for Information is the
cause of the filing of two petitions In the
superior court yesterday. The difficulty In
fact arises from the recent action of the
Manawa council In putting a $150 a month
tax on saloons , with power to remit It where
thought advisable , their Intention being to
freeze Colonel Reed out of the business ,
Reed now comes back at them and chal
lenges the right ot the town council c !
Manawa to pabs an ordinance or anything
else , even a saloon.
In the first suit W. H. Beck , mayor ; Wil
liam liallou , recorder , and U. Thomas , C.
Bartlow and E. T. Wright , trustees , are
made defendants. It sets forth that In 18S9
Ballou and twenty-seven other men claimIng -
Ing to be residents of the territory which
was to be Included In the corporate limits
filed a petition asking that they be allowet
to Incorporate as the town of Manawa. F.
C. Reed , Mark DeLlsle , Charles O. Maloncy
and W. II. Beck were appointed commis
sioners , and their report was filed In August
1889. The petitioner alleges that this In
corporation was lllegel , on the ground that
there were not twenty-five voters living In
the territory at the time the petition was
filed ; eleven of the names signed to the peti
tion were names of non-residents ; the peti
tion was false and fraudulent , and known to
bo such when filed ; no certified copy of the
petition and no certified transcript of the
piocecdlnga connected with It were ever
filed with the secretary of state ; by the dis
trict court the land Included In the town
limits has been reduced to eighty ficroes , o ;
which a third Is In the lake , and cnly ten
voters reside In the town.
As further grounds of his action Tcbln
relates that the defendants are claiming to
hold city offices , when as a matetr of faci
they have no right to do so , because the
town has no corporate existence. Ho asks
that the town and Its officers be required to
show by what right they claim to bo per
forming their functions , and that a judgment
be issued forfeiting the franchise and ousting
the officials from their positions.
The second petition contains many of the
same allegations and makes II. Stelnburger
defendant. Ho was elected treasurer In
March , 1895 , The petition states that no
convention was held to nominate him , no
nominating papers were filed with the re
corder , no election board was appointed prop
erly. Sixteen votes were cast , and twelve o.
them were for Stelnburger. Of the twelve
eight are claimed to have been cast by men
who were not qualified voters , but were pro
cured fraudulently to vote for the defendant.
Tobln wants him ousted , too.

Robfrt Stewart and Minnie Bird , young
people living In Garner township , visited
Council Bluffs Wednesday -with the Intention
of having a matrimonial knot tied befcre they
went away , but the bride's mother dawned
upon the scene a lltlla ahead of them snd
InUrposed a veto , which has proved effective ,
at least for the present. She did It by calling
at the office of the county clerk and Instruct
ing him not to Usue any licence , claiming her
daughter was In poor health. This the clerk
conildered a valid objection. When the
young people came he told them the mother
had been there first , and they tatd they would
if ? whit they could do In Omaha. But Mn
Bird hid been there too , and they found an
other avenue out of single blessed now boarded
up. Finally Emll Schuri was called In ai an
arbitrator , and h" arbitrated all night at hard
at ho could. The young people begged and
stormed , the arbitrator looked thoughtful , but
Mrs. Hlrd remained Inexorable. When morn-
ng arrived , Mrs. Bird had won , cards , ipadei
and four aces , and the game was hers. Her
daughter and the man she wanted to marry
had decided to postpone the wedding until
next fall. In the hope- that by that time her
lealth will bo better and her mother's objec-
Ions weaker.

Last night the audience at the Plerson
meeting at the Presbyterian church was
larger than any evening since Sunday. The
Interest Is Increasing dally , and every night
some are professing conversion. Besides
being a thorough organizer , Mr. Plerson Is
an eloquent , earnest preacher , and a firm
bollever and teacher of constant prayer. The
"after meetings" are fraught with even more
Interest than the preaching service. Mr.
Plerson never Indulges In sensationalism. He
snld last night that nothing could be more
disastrous to the cause than to have a big
bonfire of religious enthusiasm , and then have
It all die out , leaving nothing but ashes
which would be blown away by the first wind.
As has been announced by hand bills , no
building In the city is large enough to hold
the crowds who would like to hear Mr. Pier
son , so Saturday night at 8:15 : o'clock It has
been arranged to hold a big out-door meetIng -

All members tf the city council were pres
ent last night at llig _ speclal meeting. But
Ittle business was transacted outside of the
settling of the occupation tax against the sa-
eon keepers and the hearing of the remon
strance against the granting of a saloon
Iccnse to Frank Humpert.
At the call for reports of committees Wal-
crs , chairman of the Judiciary committee ,
reported adverse to the suggestions of the
nayor that were made nt the time he asked
hat the ordinance bo reconsidered and steps
> s taken In accordance with the rccommcnda-
lon In his annual message that a tax of
; 200 bo placed upon the saloon keepers. The
report was signed by the full committee and
tated that after a full Investigation the con
clusion had been reached that $100 was a sum
as large as the saloon keepers would bs able
o stand owing to the present condition and
outlook for business. The rulesvere sus-
> ended and the ordinance was read for the
lilrcl time. It was pasied by the council ,
nit two members , Hyland and Mies , voting
against It.
Walters made a motion that the saloon
{ eepers who had made application and those
contemplating doing so and who were run
ning saloons at the present time , be compelled
o deposit the full .1 mount of the license with
.he treasurer on or before May C , at noon ;
those falling to comply with the order to be
closed by the chief of police. The motion
carried.
The city engineer was Instructed to prepare
an ordinance levying a special tax against
, ho p'roperty on Thirty-ninth street to cover
the costs of the condemnation proceedings
which were made necessary by the opening
ot the street from Q to S streets.
The taking of testimony In the remon
strance of The Bee against the granting of a
saloon license to Frank Humpert on account
of his not having advertised In the paper
having the largest circulation In the county
was heard. The evidence Introduced showed
: hat the applicant had not used good faith In
advertising In a Iccal paper. Attorney Sim-
eral for The Bee urged that from the testi
mony of Councilman Walters It was shown
that the city had a population ot 15,000 or
10,000. The Slocumb law required that all
such cities should not Issue a license for
Ic-'s than $1,000. He also stated that upon
this line he proposed to flght the matter In
the district court and felt It his duty to In
form the council of the fact.
At the conclusion of this statement a reso
lution was passed declaring against The Bee ,
Walters being the only ono who voted against
It , taking occasion to show that he had voted
consistently with the evidence Introduced. A
notice of appeal was Immediately served on
t the council , after which an adjournment was
taken until next Monday night at 7:30. :

ST. PAUL , May 2. The niipatch this
afternoon will say. If rumor be true and
the object which called Precldont J. J. Hill
to London so hurriedly be not aurcessfully
accomplished , Mr. Hill may then have suffi
cient time on his hands to attend to ( lit
Northern Pacific , with which his name hat
been recently connected. Mr. Hill's control
of the Great Northern comes through the
consolidation of his own and Sir Donald
Smith's Interest In that property. The latter
represents all the Montreal Interest In the
road , Sir Donald has backed Mr. Hill In
bringing about the realization of his trars-
contlnental dreams. As long ns Mr. Hill was
able to keep the support of Sir Donald Smith
he was able to swing the road according to
his Ideas. Once Mr. Hill had been attacked
In that quarter , when the late Allen Manvet
was vice president ot the road , but Hill cime
cut victor. Through the same Inter.st Mr.
Hill Is again attacked and It Is stated that
ho felt the effects so much that .he hurried
off to Europe to endeavor to co'ver before
It is too late. It Is also openly slated that
the Vanderbllts , appreciating the value of
the Great NoitHefn , have secured n hold
upon these Canadian holdings and are pre
paring at the annual meeting to relieve .Mr.
Hill of control of the system. When Mr.
Hill went to New York so hastily he paid a
hurried visit to Montreal , where Sir Donald
Smith resides , and Immediately afterwards
took the steamer abroad. The Vanderbllts
now control the New York Central , Lake
Shore , Michigan Central , Northwestern ,
Omaha and Ulkliorn lines. Their coast
connection Is through an Ironclad agreement
with the Union Pacific. If the Vanderbllts
can secure control of the Great Northern
they will have a line of their own to Pugel
Sound from New York which will Interfere
with the Southern route via the Northern
Pacific. The Great Northern needs money
and can cut no further In pay rolls. Traffic
has reached Its minimum , and hard times
have had their effect so that there Is every
ground for believing that the Vanderbllts , If
It Is true they are seeking control of the line ,
are In n better position to secure their ends
now than they would have been five years ago
or will be ten years hence.

WASHINGTON , May 2. In the course of
a report to the State department on the rail
ways of Egypt , United States Consul General
Pcnfield , at Cairo , asserts that that country ,
in proportion to population , has more rail
road mileage and better bervice than Hun
gary , Austria , Spain or Portugal , and It Is
all In government property with the excep
tion of a few short lines. The roads arc
very profitable , although the Income of gov-
einment lines Is pledged to European credit
ors of the company as a partial consequence
of the prcfllgatc extravagance ot the khcdlve ,
Ismail. Expenses of construction are low ,
owing to the nature of the country , and
working expenses are much below the
European standard as a result of the mod
erate bpeed and cheap motive labor. Ancient
Cairo Is to have a trolley line next year and
Alexandria Is expected to follow suit. Bids
have been made for a trolley line from
Cairo to the pyramids , ten miles , and a
Frenchman has seriously applied for per-
mlsblon to build a funicular railway to the
top of the great pyramid , though this request
has not been considered.

between the two. The Indians claim that the
deputies have been trumping p charges
against them for years to get the fees and
mileage.

Miss M. E. Keen, stenographer, 106 S. Main, Aid to be
Adolphus J. Bartlett claims he was swindled by Andres P. Falk, D. J. Hutchinson and Calvin Rogers and as a result of the swindle has 800 acres of worthless land lying north of Council Bluffs, for which he paid $11,000 in spot cash and assumed mortgages to the amount of $13,800. He says in a petition which was filed in the district court yesterday that the defendants combined together to induce him to buy the property at an excessive figure. They represented that Falk had a perfect title, when his title was defective; that it was high ground, not subject to inundation, free from gumbo and silt for stock raising, when it is low and so wet that cattle cannot graze upon it, besides being plentifully supplied with gumbo.
Bartlett says he had known these a long time and it was arranged that Heeso should act as a disinterested party, looking only to his best interests. The conspirators took him over the ground hurriedly and gave him no chance to examine it closely. It looked all right to him and he agreed to pay nearly $50 an acre for it, when it was not worth more than $30. He asks that the $11,000 he has already paid be given back to him and the contract by which he is to assume the $13,800 in mortgages be declared null and void.

An early inventory in the Richmond house pinches expert figures provocative of sleep. On a desk, the association's defendant secures a large amount of the association's money as occasion's money more than one-half of the members of the federal court jury apparently are having their first experience at expert accountant work, and more than eleven-twelfths of them are finding it exceptionally dry work. Several of them are caught nodding occasionally, as the evidence in the Richmond case progresses, and one man, who occupied a conspicuous position in the front row, spent most of yesterday afternoon in catnaps. Almost the entire day was passed in going over the association's books, the receiver, W.W. Wilcoxen, and his bookkeeper, R.H. Lyman, being upon the stand in behalf of the government. It was shown that Richmond took advantage of his position as secretary to issue $13,000 worth of stock to himself and paid for it from the loan fund. Then the stock was withdrawn, and he pocketed the money. He also borrowed $10,000 from the association and secured it by mortgages on land, supposed to be situated in Dakota. The mortgages are missing, and the land is said to have no existence. With the $10,000 he paid for a lot of stock in the association, which he then withdrew and put the cash in his own pocket. Some discussion arose over the source of Lyman's figures. He said he took them from the ledger without comparing the ledger with the cash book and other books of original entry. Poorman, on the contrary, presented figures which disagreed with his. The question was: Where lay the discrepancy. District Attorney Fullen asked Lyman how long it would take him to make a thorough checking up, and he replied he thought he could do it in a couple of days. "Very well," remarked Judge Shiras, "we will do it if it takes a week, if the attorneys for the defense insist." "We insist," said Mr. Prouty, and it looks as though the case might drag along into next week.

ATTACK ON MANAWA'S EXISTENCE
Says the Town Is Not a Town at All.
John Tobin, who really represents some bigger man, proposes to find out whether Manawa is a town or only a summer watering place, and that desire for information is the cause of the filing of two petitions in the superior court yesterday. The difficulty in fact arises from the recent action of the Manawa council in putting a $150 a month tax on saloons, with power to remit it where thought advisable, their intention being to freeze Colonel Reed out of the business. Reed now comes back at them and challenges the right of the town council of Manawa to pass an ordinance or anything else, even a saloon.
In the first suit, W.H. Beck, mayor; William Ballou, recorder, and U. Thomas, C. Bartlow, and E.T. Wright, trustees, are made defendants. It sets forth that in 1889 Ballou and twenty-seven other men claiming to be residents of the territory which was to be included in the corporate limits filed a petition asking that they be allowed to incorporate as the town of Manawa. F.C. Reed, Mark DeLisle, Charles O. Maloney, and W.H. Beck were appointed commissioners, and their report was filed in August 1889. The petitioner alleges that this incorporation was illegal, on the ground that there were not twenty-five voters living in the territory at the time the petition was filed; eleven of the names signed to the petition were names of non-residents; the petition was false and fraudulent, and known to be such when filed; no certified copy of the petition and no certified transcript of the proceedings connected with it were ever filed with the secretary of state; by the district court the land included in the town limits has been reduced to eighty acres, of which a third is in the lake, and only ten voters reside in the town.
As further grounds of his action, Tobin relates that the defendants are claiming to hold city offices, when as a matter of fact they have no right to do so, because the town has no corporate existence. He asks that the town and its officers be required to show by what right they claim to be performing their functions, and that a judgment be issued forfeiting the franchise and ousting the officials from their positions.
The second petition contains many of the same allegations and makes H. Steinburger defendant. He was elected treasurer in March, 1895. The petition states that no convention was held to nominate him, no nominating papers were filed with the recorder, no election board was appointed properly. Sixteen votes were cast, and twelve of them were for Steinburger. Of the twelve, eight are claimed to have been cast by men who were not qualified voters, but were procured fraudulently to vote for the defendant. Tobin wants him ousted, too.

Robert Stewart and Minnie Bird, young people living in Garner township, visited Council Bluffs Wednesday with the intention of having a matrimonial knot tied before they went away, but the bride's mother dawned upon the scene a little ahead of them and proposed a veto, which has proved effective, at least for the present. She did it by calling at the office of the county clerk and instructing him not to issue any license, claiming her daughter was in poor health. This the clerk considered a valid objection. When the young people came he told them the mother had been there first, and they said they would go if what they could do in Omaha. But Mrs. Bird had been there too, and they found another avenue out of single blessed now boarded up. Finally, Emll Schuri was called in as an arbitrator, and he arbitrated all night at hard as he could. The young people begged and stormed, the arbitrator looked thoughtful, but Mrs. Bird remained inexorable. When morning arrived, Mrs. Bird had won, cards, made and four aces, and the game was hers. Her daughter and the man she wanted to marry had decided to postpone the wedding until next fall. In the hope that by that time her health will be better and her mother's objections weaker.
This woman, IN CO. IN COUNJ, Secured dull on a Small Check Purporting to be her father's Furniture.
James Dungan, son of the hardware merchant, is wanted to answer to the charge of forgery. A few evenings ago he called at Marks Bros.' store on Lower Broadway and asked one of the men to cash a $5 check for him. They did not have the amount in the drawer at the time, but took him across the street and introduced him to a friend named Banks, telling him that the check was all right. The money was produced and that was the last seen of the young man. His father states that he never signed the check. An information has been filed and a warrant is now in the hands of an officer, who is yearning for a chance to level his spite on the young man.
Dungan is said to have played a trick on S.M. Williamson a short time ago that cost that gentleman several dollars. He bought a bicycle, but paid nothing for it. A short time afterward Williamson found on investigation that the wheel had been deposited with A.A. Clark as security for a loan of $18. He paid the amount and took his wheel back to his store.

Last night the audience at the Person meeting at the Presbyterian church was larger than any evening since Sunday. The interest is increasing daily, and every night some are professing conversion. Besides being a thorough organizer, Mr. Person is an eloquent, earnest preacher, and a firm believer and teacher of constant prayer. The "after meetings" are fraught with even more interest than the preaching service. Mr. Person never indulges in sensationalism. He said last night that nothing could be more disastrous to the cause than to have a big bonfire of religious enthusiasm, and then have it all die out, leaving nothing but ashes which would be blown away by the first wind. As has been announced by handbills, no building in the city is large enough to hold the crowds who would like to hear Mr. Person, so Saturday night at 8:15 o'clock it has been arranged to hold a big outdoor meeting at the Junction of Fourth Street and Broadway. Mr. Person will speak and Mr. Johnson will sing from a platform.

When he came out a few minutes later he found the horse and buggy had walked off. Visions of thieves and runaways chased themselves through his mind as he hurried down to the police station to report his loss. Then he went back, and after a little search, found that his horse had drawn the buggy into Newman's stall and was contentedly munching hay from the manger. Nothing was harmed.
COMING THRILL FOR FANS! Hoops.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 2. Percival B. Coffin, charged with complicity in wrecking the Indianapolis National bank, appeared before Judge Baker in the federal court today and renewed his recognizance bond for $3,000, with the same sureties as before. His trial was set for May 28, as was also the trial of Schuyler C. Hapney. Mr. Miller, attorneys for Coffin, asked for a continuance until September 1, but was denied. The bond of Francis M. Coffin, who is ill in New York and could not appear before Judge Baker, was formally defaulted.

AFFAIRS AT THE OMAHA
Majority of Council Differs with Mayor on Amount of Occupation Tax.
It Is Fixed at One Hundred Dollars
Must be! Partly by New York, Under Pain of Lying
Only Two Members Dissent from the Measure
Homicide Trial Case.
All members of the city council were present last night at the special meeting. But little business was transacted outside of the settling of the occupation tax against the saloon keepers and the hearing of the remonstrance against the granting of a saloon license to Frank Humpert.
At the call for reports of committees, Walter, chairman of the Judiciary committee, reported adversely to the suggestions of the mayor that were made at the time he asked that the ordinance be reconsidered and steps be taken in accordance with the recommendations in his annual message that a tax of $200 be placed upon the saloon keepers. The report was signed by the full committee and stated that after a full investigation the conclusion had been reached that $100 was a sum as large as the saloon keepers would be able to stand owing to the present condition and outlook for business. The rules were suspended and the ordinance was read for the third time. It was passed by the council, but two members, Hyland and Miss, voting against it.
Walters made a motion that the saloon keepers who had made application and those contemplating doing so and who were running saloons at the present time, be compelled to deposit the full amount of the license with the treasurer on or before May 6, at noon; those failing to comply with the order to be closed by the chief of police. The motion carried.
The city engineer was instructed to prepare an ordinance levying a special tax against the property on Thirty-ninth Street to cover the costs of the condemnation proceedings which were made necessary by the opening of the street from Q to S streets.
The taking of testimony in the remonstrance of The Bee against the granting of a saloon license to Frank Humpert on account of his not having advertised in the paper having the largest circulation in the county was heard. The evidence introduced showed that the applicant had not used good faith in advertising in a local paper. Attorney Sargent for The Bee urged that from the testimony of Councilman Walters it was shown that the city had a population of 15,000 or 10,000. The Slocumb law required that all such cities should not issue a license for less than $1,000. He also stated that upon this line he proposed to fight the matter in the district court and felt it his duty to inform the council of the fact.
At the conclusion of this statement a resolution was passed declaring against The Bee, Walters being the only one who voted against it, taking occasion to show that he had voted consistently with the evidence introduced. A notice of appeal was immediately served on the council, after which an adjournment was taken until next Monday night at 7:30.
Will Into Aver Kent Lenovo.
Secretary Morton has ordered Dr. Don C. Ayer to investigate the charges recently made by the Live Stock Exchange and report the names of the inspectors against whom written charges of incompetency can be made.
It will be remembered that at a recent meeting of the Live Stock Exchange, the secretary of agriculture was severely criticized for appointing politicians to the responsible positions of inspectors of live stock. Nearly every day there is some trouble between the inspectors and the members and officers of the Exchange.
No Easier Water to Turn the Mills.
Appleton, Wis., May 2. The water in the Fox River fell to a low stage last night that all the paper mills on the upper Fox were compelled to "shut down." The situation seems to grow worse. It does not appear that relief will be afforded soon. It is intimated that the United States government may order a complete suspension of all water power, which would be a severe blow to the paper-making interests of the Fox River valley.
Creedon and Dunfee to Try Conclusions.
New York, May 2. Dan Creedon and Joe Dunfee have been matched to meet in a twelve-round bout before the Atlantic Athletic Club at Coney Island on Monday, the 20th. This will be served up as a preliminary to the contest of twenty-five rounds between Peter Maher, the Irish champion, and Robert Marshall of England. The latter comes here well recommended by Charlie Mitchell and other English pugilists.
Was not in His Move from South Africa.
Fort Wayne, Ind., May 2. In response to a telegram received here last evening, County Clerk Harry Metzgar left for Detroit, Mich., where he found ex-County Clerk D. W. Souther, who disappeared from this city four months ago. Souther left home while suffering from mental derangement and had gone to South Africa. He regained his mental balance at Cape Town and on March 20 left there for London.
The Mint Has Not Been Miller.
Carson, Nev., May 2. It is reported here that a draft has been made on all hands in the mint, save those in the assay office, the cashier, and one porter. Superintendent Adams said no such draft had been made. Orders had been received from Washington to that effect, but he had not issued them, as workmen are sealing up the vaults under Inspector Mason's supervision.
Striking for a Larger Wage Increase.
Sheboygan, Wis., May 2. The labor trouble in this city is spreading. The Roenitz Leather Company voluntarily raised wages 10 percent, but the men demanded 20 percent, and nearly 200 walked out. The Mattoon Manufacturing Company has offered their men a raise of 10 percent, but the offer has been refused, and a strike will undoubtedly be the result.

Elkhorn, W. Va., May 2. All the miners in the Houston mines came out this morning. A committee of strikers waited on them last night. The operators and miners throughout the field are folding together.
The Denver Grays will cross bats with the Rockets Sunday at 3 p.m., on the grounds at Nineteenth and Las Vegas Streets. This will be a good game as the Rockets are a good team and the players first-class.
ST. PAUL, May 2. The latest rumor this afternoon will say. If true and the object which called President J.J. Hill to London so hurriedly be not successfully accomplished, Mr. Hill may then have sufficient time on his hands to attend to the Northern Pacific, with which his name has been recently connected. Mr. Hill's control of the Great Northern comes through the consolidation of his own and Sir Donald Smith's interests in that property. The latter represents all the Montreal interest in the road, and Sir Donald has backed Mr. Hill in bringing about the realization of his transcontinental dreams. As long as Mr. Hill was able to keep the support of Sir Donald Smith he was able to swing the road according to his ideas. Once Mr. Hill had been attacked in that quarter, when the late Allen Manvet was vice president of the road, but Hill came out victorious. Through the same interest Mr. Hill is again attacked and it is stated that he felt the effects so much that he hurried off to Europe to endeavor to cover before it is too late. It is also openly stated that the Vanderbilts, appreciating the value of the Great Northern, have secured a hold upon these Canadian holdings and are preparing at the annual meeting to relieve Mr. Hill of control of the system. When Mr. Hill went to New York so hastily he paid a hurried visit to Montreal, where Sir Donald Smith resides, and immediately afterwards took the steamer abroad. The Vanderbilts now control the New York Central, Lake Shore, Michigan Central, Northwestern, Omaha and Illinois lines. Their coast connection is through an ironclad agreement with the Union Pacific. If the Vanderbilts can secure control of the Great Northern they will have a line of their own to Puget Sound from New York which will interfere with the Southern route via the Northern Pacific. The Great Northern needs money and can cut no further in payrolls. Traffic has reached its minimum, and hard times have had their effect so that there is every ground for believing that the Vanderbilts, if it is true they are seeking control of the line, are in a better position to secure their ends now than they would have been five years ago or will be ten years hence.
GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS IN EGYPT
Trolley Line to the Pyramids to Be Built
WASHINGTON, May 2. In the course of a report to the State department on the railways of Egypt, United States Consul General Penfield, at Cairo, asserts that that country, in proportion to population, has more railway mileage and better service than Hungary, Austria, Spain or Portugal, and it is all in government property with the exception of a few short lines. The roads are very profitable, although the income of government lines is pledged to European creditors of the company as a partial consequence of the princely extravagance of the khedive, Ismail. Expenses of construction are low, owing to the nature of the country, and working expenses are much below the European standard as a result of the moderate speed and cheap motive labor. Ancient Cairo is to have a trolley line next year and Alexandria is expected to follow suit. Bids have been made for a trolley line from Cairo to the pyramids, ten miles, and a Frenchman has seriously applied for permission to build a funicular railway to the top of the great pyramid, though this request has not been considered.
TROUBLE ON THE Turtle Mountains
DEVIL'S LAKE, N.D., May 2. Marshal Cronin, with twelve deputies armed to the teeth, left here today for the Turtle Mountains. They expect to await the arrival of troops from Fort Buford before making any arrests. Major Ralph, the Indian agent at Fort Totten, accompanied the marshal from there, and there may be a clash of authority between the two. The Indians claim that the deputies have been trumping charges against them for years to get the fees and mileage.
CONSUL HATCH'S SALOON TO BE CLOSED
PHILADELPHIA, May 2. Dr. F.N. Kelly, Jr., of this city, who recently returned from Bluefields, called last night that he is well acquainted with pro-Consul Hatch, for whose expulsion from Nicaraguan territory Great Britain has demanded swift justice to the extent of $70,000. Dr. Kelly asserts that Hatch, before his trouble, was the keeper of a saloon called the Cactus in Bluefields and that his expulsion could not have caused him more than $500 damage at the utmost.
CHAIR MANUFACTURERS WALK OUT
SHEBOYGAN, Wis., May 2. This afternoon the entire force of the Crocker Chair factory, to the number of 800, walked out and paraded the streets. The Crocker company has the biggest chair factory in the United States, having two large plants with branch houses at New York, Chicago, and Minneapolis. There seems to be but little doubt that the strike will become general throughout the city.
GIRL FALLS ON HER HOTEL
CHICAGO, May 2. Maud Lyons, a circus performer, while performing last night, sustained an injury of the spine which produced partial paralysis and may result fatally. She was about to throw a somersault from the upturned feet of another performer, who was lying on the ground, when she slipped and fell, striking upon her head.
SPANISH DEFEAT WITH HEAVY LOSS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 2. Passengers on the steamer Olivette from Havana last night gave an account of a battle near Bayamo on Monday between Maximo Gomez, in command of 2,000 men, and 3,000 Spanish troops commanded by General Salcedo. The Spaniards were repulsed with heavy losses, while the Cuban loss was very small.
SHOE MANUFACTURERS ALRINCO PRICES
BOSTON, May 2. Seventy-five leading shoe manufacturers of New England met and voted to issue notices to their customers informing them that the prices of shoes would be advanced. The high price of leather is given as the cause for the increase. The advance will be from 10 to 25 cents per pair.
QUARRELING OVER WHITMAN
ALBANY, May 2. Governor Morton gave a hearing this afternoon and granted a requisition on the governor of California for the custody of A.J. Whitman, who is charged with having forged a check for $500 in San Francisco. Whitman was arrested in New York City about a week ago.
POSTMASTER ARRESTED FOR STEALING STAMPS
DENVER, May 2. Postmaster A.H. Rochling of Genoa, Lincoln County, Colo., has been arrested and held for trial on a charge of having defrauded the government by buying goods with postage stamps which he reported to the government as having been canceled.
DESTRUCTIVE STORM IN JACKSON, Miss.
JACKSON, Miss., May 2. A terrible wind and electric storm struck this city last night. The First National bank building was unroofed by the wind and considerable other damage done. Windows were blown out in great numbers.

CLUTT, COON & CO., Makers, Factories, Troy, N.Y.
The New Big Furniture and Carpet House.
The reason, however, is very plain: We have introduced POPULAR PRICES AND POPULAR METHODS into the Furniture and Carpet business.
Until we came here you were obliged to pay three (3) prices for house furnishings and if you sought to buy on the Payment Plan they wanted hide and all.
We will never try to get your patronage by fake sales. We have been feeding on this for some time, promising $10 worth of goods for $2. Such methods are getting poorer all the time. They are simply the moral, it is self-evident. We will furnish your house for less money than any other store in Omaha. Strictly one price, cash or on weekly or monthly payments. Chas. Shiverick & Co., Furniture, and Curtains. 12th and Douglas.
Hose, Hose, Hose. We have in stock 10,000 feet of hose, more than all other dealers combined carry. Our prices are fully 25 percent less than they can sell you for. Come and see and be convinced. We will sell you a good hose for 6¢ per foot.

The Mission Charity Laundry, 3168, 23th St. (Council Bluffs), Iowa. Solicits your Patronage. The laundry is not operated for profit. It is intended to furnish employment to deserving women out of work, and so help them support themselves instead of becoming charges of charity. It is under the personal supervision of Mrs. J. D. Jones, and the utmost care is taken to turn out satisfactory work. A wagon is kept to call for and deliver work. When Buying Fruit Trees, Buy the best. A minute lost can never be recovered, and it's a calamity to lose several years, which so many Iowa and Nebraska people have done when they have bought foreign grown, unacclimatized fruit trees.

Governor Rufufte * Ills I'crmlt ami the 803-
rctnry Is Appealed To.
WASHINGTON , May 2. For some time
the Interior department has been carrying
on a complicated correspondence In regard to
the llcensa cf the manufacture of beer In
Alaska. Two persons of Sltka , Miss Paulina
Cohen and II. H. Wltz , have compiled with
all the Internal revenue regulations for such
work , and would have had their breweries
In operation before now but for the refusal of
Governor Sheakley to issue the necessary p'r-
mlta. The last letter In the correspondence
shows bis reason ? for this refusal , the matter
resting entirely In his discretion. He says :
"The executive order concerning the sale ol
Intoxicating liquors In Alaska for medicinal ,
mechanical and scientific purposes Is of such
a restrictive character as to render Its opera
tion almost Impracticable. To llcjnse a brew
ery to manufacture beer for these purposes
In the village of Sitka , a town of less than
400 Inhabitants , where the beer can only bo
sold on prescription of a regular practicing
physician , would bo absurd. "
In spite of the governor's argument , Wltz
and Miss Cohen still desire to start their
breweries and have appealed to the secretary
of the Interior. No action In the mutter has
yet been taken by the latter.

PEOIUA , May 2. Gaioral McNulta went
to Chicago last night. He has met with no
opposition In gaining access to or using
bonded warehous s , and the commissioner ol f
internal revenue has ruled tnat th ? regulation
requiring consent of securities en former
bonds for Mich purpose In case of a change
of ownership does not refer to him. The
commissioner hoi is that the receivership Is
not a change of owners. Cattle nro now

there was on hand this morning at the three
houses of the Distilling nnd Cattlefeeding

authority for saying that all the cattle will

Canal Bond Election Mandamus Suit Now
Brought lu District Court ,
HEARING TO BE HAD NEXT THUFSOAY
County Attorney Snjn It Mny llo YCIUB Ho
fore n Fliml lc tumilimltnn U Hniched
Friends of the Schema Iltipo
fur I.lttlo Delay.
On account of the action of tlio supreme *
court In refusing to entertain original Juris
diction In tlio mandamus preceding brought
lo compel the county commissioners to call
a special 1'latto canal bond election n petition
was filed In the district court at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
The hearing upon the mandamus stilt will
before Judge Ambrose upon Miv 9 nt
9:30. : At tills hour the county Is expected
to make Its showing- the case or bo per
emptorily ordered to Issue the call for an
election.
The district Judges while passing upon this
question are to decide whether they shall
have tlio right to appoint a canal board.
Owing to the fact that the case was con
sidered one of some delicacy the mandamus
suit , for this as well as other reasons , was
brought before the supreme Judges. How
ever , as the supreme court refused to con-
sMcr the papers In the first Instance It will
only go there now on appeal.
"Tho question of the constitutionality of
the law , " Judge Stcnberg bays , "will bo the
main Issue , though the commissioners desire
to have decided whether or not tlio 10 per
cent limitation In the canal law Is In conflict
with two other provisions of the statute ic-
latlnR to the amount of bonds which can
legally bo Issued. "
Mr. Patterson says that he Is of the opinion
that the case can be heard about ns soon as
If It took the other course. It Is the liite'itlon
to get an Immediate decision.
County Attorney Ilaldrlge expressed the
opinion 1 ° the county commissioners that It
might take three or four years to settle the
cate finally. Property owners have signified
their Intention to Intervene nnd delay , or de
feat the suit.

IUVIM : HUTS ins DECHKI : ,
Wife Too Poor mill Far Away to Contest Ills
Action fur u Dlxorcc.
The "Rev. " Alexander F. Irvine has secured
a divorce from his wife , who resides
In New York City. Ho will secure the
papers making him again a single man ns
soon as he pays the court costs. This Is
not the first effort made by the plaintiff to
secure a release from matrimonial bonds ,
though heretofore his efforts have not been
crowned with the success which met him In
his appearance In court Wednesday. Prior to
leaving New Vork Ho had begun an action
for divorce In the courts of that city , but
on discovery that his wife Intended to contest
his application he quietly dropped the case
and migrated In search of a Jurisdiction
where he could secure the decree without op
position. This was what led him to Omaha.
In the district court here Mrs. Irvine was
not present to Oefcnd cither by herself or by
attorney and the case was decided for the
plaintiff by default.
Nine months ago Mr. Irvine first came to
Omaha and began to work In the religious
field. He abandoned the Presbyterian for
the Congregational church and was on
February 7 given charge of the Church of the
Pilgrim.
Only six days subsequently nn action was
begun by him In the district court for a
divorce from Mrs. Nellie Irvine. Mr. Irvlno
had been In Nebraska -almost exactly six
months and so he had fulfilled the statutory
requirements for residence. The matter was
kept quietly suppressed for'some weeks , when
It leaked out that he was Intending to take
the depositions of eastern parties to prove
that his wlfo was guilty of the grave charges
alleged In his petition. On Investigation , his
wife was located In a New Yotk house , where
alio had been earning a livelihood ns a serv
ing maid. She Indignantly denied the asser
tions concerning herself , but said she ex
pected that a divorce would ba obtained , as
she had no money to make a defense , tlio
distance between New York City and Omaha
being so great as to make her attendance at
the trial entirely out of the question. Mr.
Irvine then dropped the proposition to take
depositions of eastern witnesses , according to
the advertised notice. Instead , ho had two
witnesses Gcorgo McCloud and Andrew
Loweny attend the case. On strength of
their testimony , his wife being absent , the
default Judgment was entered In Judge
Keysor's court. Mr. Irvine also enjoined his
wife from Interfering with the custody of the
children.
Minor ( iinrt .V..Uteri.
B. A. Brazes sues the county to recover
for taxes paid on land In Hanseom place
where no taxes were due. He bought the
tax lien of 0. O. Wolrath.
Judge Keysor allowed the attorneys to
flic a $1,000 Buperscileas bond In the Hyan
will contest caso. The case was originally
tried before Judge Ambrose and the Jury
held It void.
The city of Omaha has agreed with the
Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy railroad to
allow the mandamus directing the payment cf
a portion of the repair money on the
Eleventh street viaduct by the company to
the city to rest until the supreme court
passes upon the case.
The National Fenclbles have filed a plead
ing In the suit brought by them against the
Omaha committee which was re'ponslble for

WASHINGTON, May 2. For some time the Interior department has been carrying on a complicated correspondence in regard to the licenses of the manufacture of beer in Alaska. Two persons of Sitka, Miss Paulina Cohen and H.H. Witz, have complied with all the Internal Revenue regulations for such work, and would have had their breweries in operation before now but for the refusal of Governor Sheakley to issue the necessary permits. The last letter in the correspondence shows his reason for this refusal, the matter resting entirely in his discretion. He says:
"The executive order concerning the sale of intoxicating liquors in Alaska for medicinal, mechanical and scientific purposes is of such a restrictive character as to render its operation almost impractical. To lease a brewery to manufacture beer for these purposes in the village of Sitka, a town of less than 400 inhabitants, where the beer can only be sold on prescription of a regular practicing physician, would be absurd."
In spite of the governor's argument, Witz and Miss Cohen still desire to start their breweries and have appealed to the secretary of the Interior. No action in the matter has yet been taken by the latter.
General McNulta in St. Louis.
PEORIA, May 2. General McNulta went to Chicago last night. He has met with no opposition in gaining access to or using bonded warehouses, and the commissioner of internal revenue has ruled that the regulation requiring consent of securities on former bonds for such purpose in case of a change of ownership does not refer to him. The commissioner holds that the receivership is not a change of ownership. Cattle are now being shipped out of distillery barns and there was on hand this morning at the three houses of the Distilling and Cattle-Feeding Company 6,032 head. There is the best of authority for saying that all the cattle will be shipped out by June 1, and distilleries will be shut down.

WILL COME BEFORE AMBROSE Canal Bond Election Mandamus Suit Now Brought to District Court,
HEARING TO BE HAD NEXT THURSDAY
County Attorney Says It May Be Heard on May 9th Before a Final Decision Is Rendered Friends of the Scheme Implore for a Little Delay.
On account of the action of the supreme court in refusing to entertain original jurisdiction in the mandamus proceeding brought to compel the county commissioners to call a special Platt canal bond election, a petition was filed in the district court at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The hearing upon the mandamus suit will before Judge Ambrose upon May 9 at 9:30. At this hour the county is expected to make its showing, or be peremptorily ordered to issue the call for an election.
The district judges, while passing upon this question, are to decide whether they shall have the right to appoint a canal board. Owing to the fact that the case was considered one of some delicacy, the mandamus suit, for this as well as other reasons, was brought before the supreme judges. However, as the supreme court refused to consider the papers in the first instance, it will only go there now on appeal.
The question of the constitutionality of the law, "Judge Stenberg says," will be the main issue, though the commissioners desire to have decided whether or not the 10 percent limitation in the canal law is in conflict with two other provisions of the statute regarding the amount of bonds which can legally be issued."
Mr. Patterson says that he is of the opinion that the case can be heard about as soon as if it took the other course. It is the intention to get an immediate decision.
County Attorney Haldridge expressed the opinion of the county commissioners that it might take three or four years to settle the case finally. Property owners have signified their intention to intervene and delay, or defeat the suit.
IUVIM: HUTS INS DECHKI:,
Wife Too Poor and Far Away to Contest His Action for a Divorce.
The "Rev." Alexander F. Irvine has secured a divorce from his wife, who resides in New York City. He will secure the papers making him again a single man as soon as he pays the court costs. This is not the first effort made by the plaintiff to secure a release from matrimonial bonds, though heretofore his efforts have not been crowned with the success which met him in his appearance in court Wednesday. Prior to leaving New York, he had begun an action for divorce in the courts of that city, but on discovery that his wife intended to contest his application he quietly dropped the case and migrated in search of a jurisdiction where he could secure the decree without opposition. This was what led him to Omaha.
In the district court here, Mrs. Irvine was not present to defend either by herself or by attorney and the case was decided for the plaintiff by default.
Nine months ago, Mr. Irvine first came to Omaha and began to work in the religious field. He abandoned the Presbyterian for the Congregational church and was on February 7 given charge of the Church of the Pilgrim.
Only six days subsequently, an action was begun by him in the district court for a divorce from Mrs. Nellie Irvine. Mr. Irvine had been in Nebraska almost exactly six months and so he had fulfilled the statutory requirements for residence. The matter was kept quietly suppressed for some weeks, when it leaked out that he was intending to take depositions of eastern parties to prove that his wife was guilty of the grave charges alleged in his petition. On investigation, his wife was located in a New York house, where she had been earning a livelihood as a serving maid. She indignantly denied the assertions concerning herself, but said she expected that a divorce would be obtained, as she had no money to make a defense, the distance between New York City and Omaha being so great as to make her attendance at the trial entirely out of the question. Mr. Irvine then dropped the proposition to take depositions of eastern witnesses, according to the advertised notice. Instead, he had two witnesses, George McCloud and Andrew Lowery, attend the case. On strength of their testimony, his wife being absent, the default judgment was entered in Judge Keysor's court. Mr. Irvine also enjoined his wife from interfering with the custody of the children.
Minor Courts: Alterations.
B. A. Brazle sues the county to recover for taxes paid on land in Hanscom Place where no taxes were due. He bought the tax lien of O. O. Wolforth.
Judge Keysor allowed the attorneys to file a $1,000 Surety Bonds in the Hyannis will contest case. The case was originally tried before Judge Ambrose and the jury held it void.
The city of Omaha has agreed with the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad to allow the mandamus directing the payment of a portion of the repair money on the Eleventh Street viaduct by the company to the city to rest until the supreme court passes upon the case.
The National Encampment has filed a pleading in the suit brought by them against the Omaha committee which was responsible for the raising of the funds to pay for the prizes of the National encampment in Omaha several years ago. The Encampment takes issue with the claim of the committee that the sham battle was a farce. Even if it was, they say they want their money.
The Question
Of medicinal agents is gradually relegating the old-time herbs, pills, draughts, and vegetable extracts to the rear and bringing into general use the pleasant and effective liquid laxative, Syrup of Figs. To get the true remedy, see that it is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only. For sale by all leading druggists.
It Could Not Have Been an Identity.
Last night at midnight, while a couple of colored women were going through the alley in the rear of the Western Union office, they noticed a man's form hanging from a telegraph pole in a dark corner. Frightened almost out of their wits, they ran out into the streets with screams and summoned the passerby. A crowd was soon gathered about the pole, but no effort was made to cut the body down, the employees spending the time in speculating as to who the suicide was. A half dozen messages were sent to the police station announcing that some unknown man had hung himself in the alley. It was found to be a dummy.

Quite an audience was gathered in Washington Hall last night to witness a bright little three-act comedy entitled, "A Lesson in Love," which was given by several prominent young people of the city for the benefit of the noonday rest of the Young Women's Christian association. The play depicted the difficulties and embarrassments of three men, who each fell in love with the fair maiden, and the stratagems of two other women who each wanted to be loved by one of the men. The parts were taken by Herbert Cook, Miss Margaret McKee, Thorpe McKell, Henry Allen, Miss Margaret Cook, Mrs. Will Townsend, and Miss Emily McKell.
For Thriving Thru Shooting,
Harry Mishaw, a colored man of considerable fame in local police circles, was arrested last night for threatening to shoot Alec Smith. Several years ago Mishaw fatally killed the same woman by cutting her throat with a razor, and later shot her, but he was not prosecuted in either case, as the woman refused to apprize the authorities against him. He has, however, served a term in the penitentiary for shooting a man.

Congratulations touring into Japan. Time Minute Vann.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2. From the Japanese newspaper, Yokohama Hochi, which came on the steamer express of Japan, it is taken the following: "Over 700 telegrams congratulating the Japanese on the armistice received from the naval and military officers of various foreign powers up to the 3rd till.
"A gentleman who recently examined the Ling Yuen, the Chinese ironclad sunk at Well-Hal-Wol, informed the Hochi that the vessel is submerged in water that covers her lower deck, the upper deck only being visible. She was lying on an island with her funnels broken off and all her machinery and other articles on board strewn about in confusion. A Chinese sailor, who was on the Ling Yuan when she was sunk by a torpedo, told the Hochi's informant that when the vessel was struck by the torpedo everything, including her heavy guns, was thrown into the air by the shock of the explosion.
Among the passengers on board the Express was J. L. Veitch of Hong Kong, who, in an interview regarding the effect the war is likely to have on commerce in the Orient, said it would greatly stimulate trade and largely assist in the opening up of China.
AT SPRINGFIELD 3HStl.Hl.
Illinois to Missouri the Legislation of the Deity
SPRINGFIELD, Ill., May 2. A bill was introduced in the legislature today which is aimed at Schwenfurth, the "Rockford Christ." It provides that whoever assumes or pretends to be the Deity or assumes to possess the attributes of the Deity, or whoever falsely assumes or pretends to be the son of God, or Jesus Christ, or holds himself to the world as possessing any of the attributes generally attributed to the Deity, or whoever claims to be the Incarnation of what is commonly known and called the saving graces of the Holy Ghost or Jesus Christ, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be imprisoned in the penitentiary from one to two years.
ROCKFORD, Ill., May 2.-Motions were entered in the case of George Jacob Schwenfurth and other defendants yesterday to quash pending indictments on the ground that no criminal offense under the laws of the state is claimed, and the alleged offense was not committed within eighteen months next before the finding of the indictments. It is also asserted that several of the defendants were compelled to go before the grand jury and give testimony against themselves against their will, and were subjected to unfair and discourteous treatment.
JELLY'S BEREKEI OUT
Ingredients of the Iron Chloride of Gold Ordered to be Made Public.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan., May 2. Judge Myers of the district court has made a very important order affecting the rights of Dr. Leslie E. Keeley, W. R. Johnson of Tipton sues Dr. Keeley for $100,000 damages, the petition reciting that the plaintiff has been made a physical wreck because of the gold cure. Judge Myers in granting petitioner's request rules that Dr. Keeley must make known the ingredients of his iron chloride of gold compound. The court holds that the cure is not a property right nor trade secret, it is unprotected by patent, has been in use more than two years and there is nothing to prevent Dr. Keeley testifying and revealing his secret.
Mrs. Leslie's Sentimental Evidence.
TOPEKA, May 2. Mrs. Lease testified in the Householder Investigation today and created a sensation. She said the Board of Charities had bought for the Insane asylum butter from Governor Lewelling that was awful, and so bad that a taste made her sick. She scored Householder for neglect of duty and wasteful expenditures, and when Attorney Wedd tried to suppress her denounced him as an anarchist and said he had advised the members of the board to carry axes and hatchets and drive Wentworth out of the Osawatomie asylum.

Of these, Miss Bryan goes to the Milwaukee Deaconess Home, Miss Savin to the Chicago Home, and Miss Parks to some foreign missionary field. Miss Taylor will remain in missionary work in the city. The balance of the class remains at the hospital.
Following the presentation of diplomas, the program was carried out. Addresses were delivered by Rev. Frank Crane and Dr. V. S. Ulrich. Mr. Crane spoke of the attitude of Christ toward the lowly. All his teachings, he said, were summarized in the parable of the good Samaritan. Mr. Crane also spoke of woman's place, maintaining that she is called to do just such work as that accomplished by Florence Nightingale. Dr. Ulrich conferred the diplomas.
The Methodist church has thirty-five Deaconess Homes in the United States. Only one of them has a training school and hospital. Students are regularly sent by the Methodist church in Chicago to secure the advantages of the school in Omaha. The graduates of these schools live in the larger cities at the various Deaconess Homes and tend the sick without remuneration, their work being entirely one of mercy. They are free at any time to leave the work if they wish.
In the course of training, two lines of work are laid out, one being a course to train nurse deaconesses, the other course training the visiting deaconesses in their work. All the graduates last evening took the course of nursing. This consists of two years of the theory and practice of the art of nursing and medicine. Hereafter, the course will be over three years. The visiting deaconesses of the church are trained in bible and charity work for a period of two years also.
The Dollar is but a mockery to the dyspeptic. He hears it, of course, but his stomach does not respond to the call. He "goes through the motions" and suffers alternately for the small amount of victuals he partakes of. Horsfetter's Stomach Bitters alters his condition into one of ability to eat plentifully, digest heartily, and assimilate thoroughly. Malaria, rheumatism, constipation, and biliousness are conquered by this world-famous medicine.
MADE AWAY WITH OUR GOODS
Shipping Clerk and Driver Charged with Grand Larceny by Philloc, /
Late yesterday afternoon C. T. Eldridge and B. Baldwin, respectively shipping clerk and driver employed by Allen Bros., who do business at 1008 Harney Street, were arrested by Chief Detective Haze and charged with grand larceny as bailees. It is estimated by the proprietors that their loss is in the neighborhood of $100, but they cannot tell the exact amount.
The alleged larceny consisted in the stealing of goods handled by the firm. As shipping clerk, Eldridge was in a position to send out more goods than orders called for and all that he needed was a confederate to carry them off. Him he found in the person of driver Baldwin. The goods were usually exchanged for meal tickets and other articles, although some of them were told. A quantity of the goods were found at the homes of the two men.
The firm has been missing goods for the past three months, but the losses could not be accounted for until Eldridge was suspected, chiefly on account of the opportunity he had. An investigation developed his guilt and also implicated his partner.
THE ELEGANT MISTS,
The Equinoxians continue to draw large houses at Boyd's theater, where they present their most brilliant spectacular play, "Humpty Dumpty Up to Date," to most enthusiastic audiences. Omaha has never seen a more brilliantly staged play, and the numerous novel tricks, the unique and gorgeous ballots deserve the applause they elicit. Clancy Kalsl is a real sensation, and all the clever little artists, among them incomparable Franz Kert, Solina, Governor, and agile Adolph Zink, display their versatile talents as irresistible fun makers to great advantage. Nobody should fail to see the Equinoxians, as it is a rare occurrence to see such a show in Omaha. There will be a matinee on Sunday, and the last performance will take place on Sunday night.
Held for Military Once. /
Yesterday afternoon Captain Moorey received a telegram from the sheriff at Sidney, Neb., asking that a man, whose description was given, be detained if he arrived in the city. Detectives Savage and Dempsey were assigned to the case, and later in the afternoon discovered the man answering the description on train No. 2 of the Union Pacific, which came in from the west. He was placed under arrest. He first denied that he had ever been in Sidney, but later acknowledged that he had passed through the town.
The man who is wanted is known as W. P. Welker, but at the station the man arrested gave his name as A. F. Johnson. On his person were found a considerable quantity of jewelry. The charge of larceny character was placed opposite his name. The telegram failed to state what the charge was, but stated that a warrant had been issued.
John W. Sherman of "Phantasma" fame arrived in this city a few days ago and is rapidly getting things in shape for the entertainment to be given at the Boyd opera house May 13 and 14. None but home talent will be used for the characters, and the parts are being held daily. The first complete rehearsal will be held next Tuesday at the First Presbyterian church. The final will be held the following Thursday in the opera house. If it can be procured, Mr. Sherman's "Phantasma" has met with wonderful success all over the country wherever it has been produced, and the Omaha people will have an opportunity of witnessing a novel, beautiful, and striking entertainment. The evening will be made a society one.
Morning Post for May Day Holiday.
At the post office there were some ten bushels of May Day eggs held for posting.
Many parties who bought papers and sent them away to their friends failed to pay the necessary amount of postage, putting only a 1-cent stamp upon the wrapper enclosing the paper. This amount was only half enough, as each of the twenty-eight page wrappers required a 2-cent stamp to ensure being handled by Uncle Sam.

A gossiper In the Washington Post teHs a
story on Colonel William n. Morrison. The
colonel believes thoroughly In the elllcacy 01
dlsclplln . He has
spent a great part at his
eventful career In llotels , and one of his theories -
ories has always been that the mind can be
so trained that the biggest sort at a hotel
flro Is powerless to sidetrack the rcawnlng
, faculties on occasions when presence of mind
Is needed. He Impressed his theory very
strongly upon Mrs. Iorrlson by conjuring up
a variety of critical exigencies and Instruct.
Ing her how to act In given cases. Fate woulJ
have It that the colonel should bo put to the
test. 110 and his wife were aroused tram

The hotel In which th y had tholr rooms was

among the guests. "Now Is the tlmo to put
Into practice what I have always preached to
you , my dear , " said the colonel. "Don't get
excited. Pu t on a II your Indespenslble ap _

head. Just watch me. " He calmed Mrs.
Morrisons anxiety. hande < 1 her the various
articles necessary to her toilet. put on his

put on his hat. packed a vaHse of valuables ,
and , taking his cane , walked with Mrs. Morri-

It Is to ke p cool and act with a deliberate

The closing up cf th Cqulty Clothing and

week , one that Is to be deplored financially ,
but one that will result In great be.neflt to

ortunlty tomorrow of securing nice new
suits at half price.

In making compromise ! that will give him

of salesmen to cope with such a crowll as

will be on band .to walt uJon customers In

the general trade , and the after effects are
not gotten over for many months , tor people

at prices much less than the retailers can

MORTON ON PLOWS.
tlllltemcnt JnvontClt J.onl : Ago nlth the
Im\rovl1Icnts I'IIIICllell.
Accoflllng to the Sclentille American and
other autborltles , Secretary ) Iorton didn't
know wbat he was talk'ng about when he said
In a recent report that the American farmer
nee ed a better plow : : lIr. Morton salt } :
" ' ' ' 0 hnve Improved our plows less than
any other hnllement man uses. The plow ,
as used In Nebraska and other stone less
80lls , Impacts e\'ery furrow It passes over
and renders It ns Impervious to rainfall liS
pObslble , The dratl of a plow Is dowi\\vard
to such an extent that the full force at the
team's strength Is exhausted In pressing the
bottom of the furrow Into a polished trough
for tbe conduction of rain down the side hills.
Wo must have some methOlI of tillage which
slmll stir up the soli and subsoil to the lIepth
of eighteen Inches and more. If It were possible -
sible to Joosen the soil and subsoil down for
three feet nil over the state of Nebraska 11'0
cculd then , wllh an annual rainfall of twent-
Irchcs , lIIake abullllant and prolltable crops.
Until deep plowing , through subsoil tillage.
becomes universal In that commonwealth
there will be , ) "ear In and year out. no certainty -
tainty of remunerative crops. pror. Shaler
of IIar\'ard estimates that the IJresent In-
efJ1clent and ill-resulting methods at plowing :
especially upon undulating lands , costs the
arlculturlsts or the United States 21i0 square
mllcs of soil each year by oroslon. In my
Judgment the coming Implement shoula spade
the lam1 and turn It over as a man who
pshes ; the sp3de wIth his toot Into th3 ground
and. drawing the spade cut , turns the soil
ullslde dowlI by the twist of his wrists. "
As a matter or fact. says the New Yorl <
Sun. the subject ot plows has occupied the
I thoughts of American Inventors for decades ,
Also. as a matter of fact , th re are registered -
tered In the patent omce \\'ashlnton. ! . and
manufactured at various places throughout
the country , machines which have been designed -
signed to do l'aetly the work which ! llr ,
) Iorton speaks or. Thous3nds of th se machines -
chines are In use , and all the manufacturers
of agricultural Imptements sell them. They
are generally caliI'll "sp1lers [ , " or "sp3dlng
harrows. " amI. while they do 1I0t supersede
thl' plough , they are used In conjunction
with It.
Their nctlon Is r'Jlly that of a sm31l spadt' . I
In that It urts amI turns the soil for varylll ! ' : !
depths. 'fhe spades , or blades , are made of' '
spring steel , In operation vibrating and shal- :
Ing oft the soli when It cakes. They leave' '
no furrows 'Or rldes. and when the lIelll Is ,
harrowed It Is left smooth. The blades are' '
narrow and sharp. and the penetration of ,
the ground Is theraoro easily made. They :
e3n be usell m.erely as harrowers "tier the' '
ground lIas been plowed. or they can bo
used as plows In loose soil. Stony ground
does IIOt limit their efficiency.
There are a good many manuCecturers and
agents or agricultural Implempnts In New
York City. and when a Sun reporter ealle < 1
upon them not ono was found who dldn't
smile when Mr. Iorton's words were read.
They thought that he hall not Investlgatell
the subject thoroughly.

By Chester Holcombe. Cloth, Illustrated. Dodd, Mead & Co., New York. This volume is bound in a shade we are told is China's "Imperial yellow," a color no Chinese subjects are permitted to use. The author, Mr. Holcombe, has for many years served as Interpreter, secretary at legation and acting minister of the United States at Peking, and hence his portrayal of the "Real Chinaman" will appeal to the reader as possessing a higher degree of authority than the versions of the average globe trotter. The book is of exceptional interest from the fact that its information is given largely through narratives of incidents and personal experiences that not only serve to better illustrate the peculiar local customs, habits and ideas of the Celestial, but give its reading a particularly delightful charm. THE FACE AND THE SKIN-By Robert Harr. Cloth; 250 pages. Frederick A. Stokes company, New York. From Merchant Stationery company, Omaha. This volume consists of a series of short stories. It gets its name from the first story in the series, "The Woman of Stanzo," which is based on a curious statue in the Tuileries gardens. This is a monument to Death, but over the ghastly face there is held by one of the hands a comical mask. The statue therefore looks like either a tragedy or comedy, according to where the spectator stands. Mr. Darr has made this the basis of a story, both pretty and sad, showing that life is still half up of both tragedy and comedy. SOCIETY: PICTURES. By George D. Maurer. Paper, 50 cents. Charles H. Sergeri company, Chicago. A republication of cartoons that from time to time have appeared in London Punch. DAME PUSD. By Margaret H. Hutchings. Cloth, 429 pages. Frederick A. Stokes Co., New York. From Merchant Stationery company, Omaha. This is a delightful story for girls. The plot is decisively original and deals with the life of a family of children in a fruit car. SONG DISTRESS by Julia Anna Wolcott. Cloth, 26 pages. The Armour Publishing company, Boston. From Clement Chas. Omaha has. The author of the delicate and dainty poems, Miss Julia Anna Wolcott, is well and favorably known to all readers of the best current literature. She has been among the fortunate writers whose work has been acceptable to the magazines of the country, and her verses have frequently appeared in the Century, the Arena, the Christian Register, the Boston Transcript and other leading literary periodicals. The greater number of the poems have appeared within the past twelve months, and many of them have met with the cordial approval of the best critics. In contemporary letters, and have become firmly established in the popular imagination by having passed into the current quotations of the newspapers. It is astonishing to find how little is known now of the life on the best Southern plantations, where the evils of slavery were minimized and the relations between the slaves and their masters were cordial and kindly. The book tells of many curious customs which will scarcely seem possible now. For example, the author, Miss Durwell, states that the coachman in their family had been with them for many years, and was an absolute autocrat. He would never change the pace of his horses, either to hasten or retard their gait, unless it seemed best to him. Moreover, when a hill was reached, he always stopped the horses and had all the passengers get out and walk, either to the top or the bottom of the hill.

A gossiper in the Washington Post tells a story on Colonel William N. Morrison. The colonel believes thoroughly in the efficacy of discipline. He has spent a great part of his eventful career in hotels, and one of his theories has always been that the mind can be so trained that the biggest sort of a hotel fire is powerless to sidetrack the reasoning faculties on occasions when presence of mind is needed. He impressed his theory very strongly upon Mrs. Morrison by conjuring up a variety of critical exigencies and instructing her how to act in given cases. Fate would have it that the colonel should be put to the test. He and his wife were aroused from their slumbers one night by an alarm of fire, the hotel in which they had their rooms was on fire, and great confusion and tumult ensued among the guests. "Now is the time to put into practice what I have always preached to you, my dear," said the colonel. "Don't get excited. Put on your indispensable apparel and take your time. Don't lose your head. Just watch me." He calmed Mrs. Morrison's anxiety, handed her the various articles necessary to her toilet, put on his collar and cuffs, took his watch from under his pillow and placed it in his vest pocket, put on his hat, packed a valise of valuables, and, taking his cane, walked with Mrs. Morrison out of the burning building into the street. "Now, my dear," he said, when they were so far, "don't you see what a grand thing it is to keep cool and act with a deliberate purpose in an emergency like this? Here you are, completely dressed, as though you were going out for a walk, and over here are several ladies in complete dishabille." Just then Mrs. Morrison ganced at her husband. "You are right, William," she said, "it is a grand thing to keep cool and act deliberately, but if I had been you, I would have stayed in the room long enough to put on my trousers."

EQUITY GAME A RECEIVER
Compromise A deal that Enables Them to Open Tomorrow,
L. D. LOEVY IS MADE CUSTODIAN
Stronger Than The Teeth! Good. Auctioneer! Interests, Proto to
Sell The Stock at a Half Price.
The closing up of the Creggh Clothing and Shoe house was one of the events of the week, one that is to be deplored financially, but one that will result in great benefit to the economical buyer, who will have an opportunity tomorrow of securing nice new suits at half price.
Mr. Nemec, the manager, may succeed in making a compromise that will give him a show for his interests. L.D. Loevy was appointed receiver for the stock, with the intention of selling it out at 50 cents on the dollar until such time as his services will no longer be required.
Dr. Loevy will have very easy settling, as it is well known that the Creggh's entire stock is new altogether at this season's manufacture, every dollar's worth having been put in at Thirteenth and opened this spring. There will be no extra preparation for this sale beyond the simple fact that every suit in the house, for boys and men, will be sold at half price. Of course it will take an army of salesmen to cope with such a crowd as this enormous cut will bring forth, and they will be on hand to wait upon customers in the morning.
It is to be hoped that the sale will not last long, as such sales are demoralizing to the general trade, and the after-effects are not gotten over for many months, for people generally stock up with two or three suits at prices much less than the retailers can buy them.
Mr. Loevy announces that the sale will begin promptly at 8 a.m. Saturday morning, and that no favors will be shown, but those who are first come will have first choice, and whoever comes will get suits at half price, regardless of where they may be found in the store.

The Clock that Cleveland earned...
A few years ago the directors at a certain bank were in the habit of dining once a month at each other's houses, says the New York Tribune. One of them was a merchant whose success in business was not in the least assisted by any early advantages in the line of education. Dining at the house of Mr. D., he noticed a very handsome clock.
"Say, D., where did you get that clock?" asked Mr. D. "In Paris," said Mr. D. Nothing more was said: on the subject until in the course of time Mr. D. gave his next dinner to his fellow directors, when the merchant, seeing the clock again, exclaimed: "D., I thought you said you bought that clock in Paris."
"So I did," said Mr. D. "Well, it's very strange. I wrote to the bellows who made it, ordering a duplicate, and he paid no attention to me," said the merchant.
"I don't see how you could write to him when I had not told you his name," replied Mr. D.
"Ills name! Can't I read? There it is on the face of the clock. I wrote to 'Tempus Fugit,' Paris, France."
Remarkable insight in the United States.
In speaking of progress in astronomy, Prof. J. Norman Lockyer of London said yesterday: "I am sorry to say that in this work the center of gravity of the activity has left our country and has gone out west. We have to look to our American cousins for a great deal that we want to know in these matters, for the reason that now they not only have the biggest telescopes and most skilled observers, but also -they have been more wise than we- they have occupied high points on the earth's surface and thus got rid of the atmospheric difficulties under which we suffer in England and especially in London."

Becomes universal in that commonwealth,
there will be, year in and year out, no certainty
of remunerative crops. According to Shaler,
of Harvard, estimates that the present inefficient
and ill-resulting methods at plowing,
especially upon undulating lands, costs the
farmers of the United States 21,000 square
miles of soil each year by erosion. In my
judgment, the coming implement should be a spade,
the lame and turn it over as a man who pushes;
the spade with his foot into the ground and,
drawing the spade cut, turns the soil upside down
by the twist of his wrists. As a matter of fact,
says the New York Sun, the subject of plows
has occupied the thoughts of American inventors
for decades. Also, as a matter of fact,
there are registered in the patent office
Washington, and manufactured at various places
throughout the country, machines which have
been designed to do faithfully the work which
Mr. Horton speaks of. Thousands of these machines
are in use, and all the manufacturers of
agricultural implements sell them. They are
generally called "spaders" or "spading harrows,"
and while they do not supersede the plow,
they are used in conjunction with it.
Their action is really that of a small spade.
In that it cuts and turns the soil for various
depths. The spades, or blades, are made of
spring steel, in operation vibrating and shaling
off the soil when it cakes. They leave no furrows
or ridges, and when the land is harrowed,
it is left smooth. The blades are narrow and sharp,
and the penetration of the ground is therefore
easily made. They can be used merely as harrows
after the ground has been plowed, or they can be
used as plows in loose soil. Stony ground does
not limit their efficiency.
There are a good many manufacturers and agents
of agricultural implements in New York City,
and when a Sun reporter called upon them,
not one was found who didn't smile
when Mr. Horton's words were read.
They thought that he had not investigated
the subject thoroughly.

"William 11. Megquier suicided yesterday
morning at 7:30 : by shooting himself In the
right temple. The scene ot the suicide was
at the residence ot George E. Darker , G2G
South Thirty-seventh street.
Mr. Barker was startled by a sharp report
followed by a recoil of some sort , and there
being a high wind at the time he supposed
the noise was made by the slamming ot one
Df the shutters at the rear of the house.
When Mr. and Mrs. Barker sat down to the
breakfast table they were Informed that Mr.
Megquier had not made his appearance.
Fearing that ho might bo ill one of tbe
servant girls was dispatched to the room to
call him. She rapped several times on the
door , but was unable to get any response
and reported the facts to the family.
Mr. Barker Immediately thought of the

proceed to the room occupied by Mr. Meg-
tinier and make an Investigation. Ho soon
returned vMtn the information that Megquier
li f was lying on the floor with the blood streamIng -
Ing from tils noie and that a revolver was
lying by his side. Dr. R. C. Moore was
telephoned for , and arriving at the residence
proceeded to the room , where he found Mr.
Megquier as reported by the hostler. The
body was still warm , but life was extinct.

toilet , previous to which he had slipped on a
pair of pants over his night shirt.
DREAD BLINDNESS
Mr. Megquier had been troubled with his
tyes for some time and had recently ex
pressed himself as being fearful that his
business life would be terminated by the loss
ot his eyesight. He has been under the
treatment of Dr. Glfford for some weeks
and went to the Presbyterian hospital a
Ihort time ago to receive special treatment ,
tie remained In the hospital one week and
returned to the residence ot Mr. Darker on
Thursday last and expresied himself as very
much pleased to bo able to return once more.

hla eyesight woud not permit of his reading
ind he was unable to distinguish his friends
when they were a short distance frcm him.
Ho sat In the parlor In company with Mr.
Barker's family Wednesday night and was
evidently not despondent at that
time. He retired to his room at
10 o'clock , which was the last
time ho was teen alive. While in the parlor
the mysterious death of Mr. Egbert was dis
cussed. Members of the family stated that
I , - \ . they wcro of the opinion that Mr. Egbert
| + - * Jiad been murdered , to which Mr. Megqulcr
replied that none but Insane people com
mitted suicide. While Mr. Megquler's life
was undoubtedly taken by himself , the gen
eral opinion Is that he did not contemplate
\fe lulcldewhen he retired at night , but on
i > \Eettlng up In the morning the weather being
VRlooray ho felt discouraged and thinking that
he would be blind In a short time he took hit
lfe. Tbe luppoiMon la that 4 sudden at-
ack of Insanity came upon him while ar
ranging his morning's toilet and that he
mmcdiately proceeded to his dresser where
ils revolver was kept , took the weapon from
ts accustomed place and standing before the
nlrror placed the muzzle to bis head and
fired. He fell backwards to the floor and was
evidently dead when he fell , as the blood
vhlch flowed from the wound was to bo
'ound ' In only one place and that was near
where his head was resting.
Herman Kountzo of the First National
bank was notified and soon afterward was
at the Marker residence. He vas much
shocked to learn of the demise of his trusted
employe. Mr. Kountzo said that he could
isslgn no reason other than the fear of losing
ils eyesight that had caused Mr. Megquier to
mvo committed the rash act. The accounts
if the deceased wcro perfectly straight and
10 had all the confidence which could be
nsplrcd by long and faithful service. Mr.
Kountze knew him to have been a man of
exemplary habits.

WH ERE THE MONEY COMES FROM
.Iconsoil Concern * th it Contribute to the
City Treasury.
The class of dealers who pay tribute to the
city has Increased materially within the last
lew years , and , although the saloons still
furnish the bulk of the license money , other
sources contribute no insignificant amount.
The reports of the license Inspector for
the first three months of the present year
ndlcato the extent to which the school fund
s reinforced by these contributors. January
was naturally the banner month , as nearly
the saloon licenses were paid during that
month. There \vere C35 licenses of all sorts
Issued , from which the school board derived
a revenue of $209,135. In the following
months the aggregate was decreased , but
each month brings In a revenue of several
thousands of dollars.
The aggregate of licenses Issued during
January. February and March was 762. The
total amount accruing was $215,660.50. These
were distributed as follows : Saloon licenses ,
209 ; druggists , Gl ; milk wagons , 108 ; milk
depots , 21 ; employment agencies , 6 ; house
movers , 7 ; Junk dealers , 5 ; gunpowder , 6 ;
plumbers , 35 ; runners , 7 ; hacks , 13 ; hack
drivers , 38 ; wagcn peddlers , Gl ; cart
peddlers , 27 ; foot peddlers , 13 ; electricians , G ;
omnibuses , G ; express , 102 ; miscellaneous , 42.
Outside of the amounts collected from
druggists , plumbers. Junk dealers , hack
drivers and electricians this entire amount
goes to the school fund. These specified
Items are not constdrcd as licenses , but arc
technically designated as permits , and the
proceeds go to reinforce the general fund of
the city. They do not materially affect the
aggregate , however , as the entire amount
collected during 1894 from these sources was
only $1,242.25.
To offset this subtraction there must be
added the amount received from police court
fines , which Is not considered In the report
of the Inspector , and which amounted to
$15,112.50 last year.

CHICAGO , May 2. The hold-up of the
Chicago & Alton northbound lightning ex
press last night near Carllnvllle , 111. , appears
to have been a much more desperate affair
than first reported. Immediately upon the
arrival of the train In Chicago today a re
porter of the Associated press Interviewed
Mall Clerk J. P. Keevers , who was aboard
at the time of the attack. Mr. Keevers said :
"The train was Chicago & Alton No. 3 , out
of St. Louis at 8:55 : last evening. It was held
up by armed robbers at Carllnvllle , Just before -
fore midnight , and In a plucky fight with the
robbers Engineer Frank Holnus laid down
his life.
"Carllnvlllo Is fifty-seven miles from St.
Louis and train No. 3 , Conductor Conlln and
Engineer Holmes , left there on schedule time
at 11:1-1 : and began the run to Brighton , the
nrxt regular stop. Hardly had the train got
under way when two tramps lying flat on tha
coal In the tender were startled by tbe ap
pearance of two masked men , who came
crawling over the tender. Poking two big
revolvers Into the faces of the tramps * the
newcomers enjoined them to'silencer and strict
attention to their own business.
ENGINEER SHOWED FIGHT.
"Passing on to the engine cab , one of the
armed men ordered th ? two flrenlen one man
extra learning the road to put up their
hands , while they covered the engineer and
ordered him to give her a full bead and bs
lively about It. Holmes made a pretense ct
doing so and then the robber , apparently
satisfied , stepped back a foot or two. Engi
neer Holmes was on the alert for the oppor
tunity presented , and , seizing the. fireman's
pick used In breaking coal , he dealt the rob
ber two quick , glancing blows on the head.
Both robbers at once opsntd fire and plucky
Frank Holmes fell dead In the gangway of liU
engine with at least threu bulletholes 'in his
breast. The fireman shut off sfeam and put
on the air , and the heavy train slowed down
to a standstill. As It did so the two robbers
swung off. A number of men bad been rid
ing on the rear platform ot the mall car and
at the first report two of the moll clerka
wtirklng at the letter case beard ont > ot them
exclaim : 'There , they are shooting ; let's get
off. ' Jumping off , they realized that their
plans had1 miscarried. After a moment of
indecision , they started to flee. '
"The mall clerks , who had at flrst supposed
that the firing was done by a brakeman as a
menace to defiant tramps , heard the fireman
shouting , 'Frank Holmes Is shot dead. ' Mall
Clerk John II. Conefry and Baggageman J.
C. Logan , who were In charge of the weigh
ing of malls for the government and railroad
company , respectively , hastensd to their grips ,
In which lay their Smith & Wesson revolvers ,
and Jumping from the mall car proceeded to
assist the trainmen In their search for the
slayers of Frank Holmes , Hurrying around
the engine , Logan stumbled over a man lying
prone In the grass and commanded him
to rise. Reluctantly complying , the
man protested earnestly against arrest
and claimed to bo la no war connected with
the trouble. Conefry pushed on and came
upon a man with a repeating rifle and a belt
full of cartridges. His back was turned and
Conefry covered him and ordered him to
come along. The man demurred strongly ,
claiming ho had been on a hunting expedi
tion. Conefry refused to parley and getting
his revolver In a line with the suipect's
heart convinced him that he had an earnest
man to deal with. Logan and Conefry
turned their men over to Conductor Conlln
and the passengers who had come forward ,
Conlln In the meantime having secured the
two tramps who had been on the tender.
The man with the gun told such a con
vincing story to account for his presence
that Conlln was persuaded of his Innocence
and permitted him to go , an action which the
conductor strongly regretted when his emo
tion over the killing of his old friend Holmes
had subsided.
CONLIN MADE A MISTAKE.
The passengers nnd others believe Conlln
made a serious mistake. The man with the
Winchester was a counterpart of the usual
train robber. The two men detained were
turned over to a deputy sheriff when the
train backed down to Carllnvllle , a mlle
away.
Train 3 Is said to carry at times large
sums of money and the object of the ban
dits was probably to loot the express car ,
believing that their sucess would compen
sate for the desperate chances taken in rob
bing the train.
Chief Agent Kane of the Chicago & Alton ,
one , of the best railroad detectives In the
country , is on the scene and prosecuting a
vigorous search for the robbers.
Officials of the Alton road deny emphati
cally today that there was any attempt to
hold up the train at Carllnvlllo last night
when Engineer Frank Holmes was shot and
killed. The shooting , they say , was done
by tramps. John J. Mitchell of St. Louis , a
director of the road who was on the train
said today : "It Is absurd to talk of a train
robbery In connection with that affair. The
three tramps simply Intended to take pos
session of the tender and ride free. They
climbed aboard and Engineer Holmes or
dered them off. When they refused to leave
ho picked up a pleco of coal to throw , when
one of the men fired with fatal results.
There was evidently no Intention on the
part of the men to commit robbery. "
The ofllclals of the road think they have
the murderer of Holmes In the man who
was caught as ho was leaving the tender.
He Is smooth shaven , and while the fire
man Is not positively able to Identify him
he says that the man who did the shooting
was beardless. The supposed murderer was
hatless when captured and a hat that fits
him was found on the tender. The real
names of the tramps are not known to the
authorities.
SPRINGFIELD , 111. , May 2. Two tramps ,
suspected of complicity In the murder of En'
glneer Holmes , were arrested here today and
held for examination. They gave the narna
of E. J. Lund and Charles Lange. A report

Supreme Court Ilnfnics to Hold Him lie-
pnnslblo fur the Murder of the Mute.
SAN FRANCISCO , May 2. Herman Sparf
las been acquitted In the United States cir
cuit court of the charge of assisting In the
murder of Second Mate Maurice Fitzgerald
of the American bark , Hespcr. He was
'ound guilty on a former trial and the United
States supreme court reversed the case.
Sparf was the only witness of the murder
ever placed on the stand and ho was cleared
on tbe ground that lie and Hanson did not
commit the murder , or assist therein , but
that they threw the body overboard to
shield St. Clalr and to save th captain's
1'fe. '
1'fe.Sparf's
Sparf's story , as told In court , was that
after St. Clalr had killed Mate Fitzgerald he
wanted Sparf and Hanson to summon the
captain BO that they could murder him also ,
jut Sparf persuadtd St. Clalr to throw the
jody overboard so they could tell the cap
tain the mate had fallen from aloft Into the
tea. Otherwise the captain would have
llscovcrcd the body and St. Clalr would have
md to kill the captain also In order to shield
Ills first crime.
The bark Hesper , on which occurred the
murder of Second Mate Maurice Fitzgerald ,
sailed from Port Townsend on August 8 ,
1892 , for Adelaide , South Australia , with a
cargo of lumber. New sailors were shipped
at Newcastle , N. S. W. , where the Hesper
went to load coal for Honolulu. Here
Thomas St. Clalr , the ringleader of the plot
to murder the officers , and his partners In
crime Martin , Sparf , Hans Hanson , Thomas
Larson were signed. The bark sailed from
Newcastle on December 22 , 1832 , and every
thing went along smoothly until the night
of January 13 , 1893. Fitzgerald had the
watch on deck and the sailors on duty were
St. Clalr , Sparf , Hanson and Larson. Cap
tain Sodergren was asleep below , but awoke
and heard St. Clalr call Fitzgerald forward
with the notification that the fore royal sheet
had been carried away. The mate ran for
ward and went to his death. St. Clalr
tacked him to death with a hatchet and
when he fell on the deck Hanson and Sparf
lifted up his body and pitched It overboard.
The defendants In the case were at once
brought here In Irons. St. Clalr was tried
and convicted In the United States court and
Is now under sentence of death. Ho Is to be
hanged May 31. Hanson was convicted and
the supreme court recently afllnned the
Judgment. He Is soon to be tentenced.
Sparf was convicted , but granted a new
trial.

William Megquier, Dreading Loss of His Sight, Takes His Own Life.
PUTS A BULLET THROUGH HIS BRAIN
For Thirteen Years the Assistant Cashier of First National Bank, Shooting Was at the Residence of George E. Darker, 626 South Thirty-seventh Street.
"William H. Megquier suicided yesterday morning at 7:30: by shooting himself in the right temple. The scene of the suicide was at the residence of George E. Darker, 626 South Thirty-seventh Street.
Mr. Barker was startled by a sharp report followed by a recoil of some sort, and there being a high wind at the time he supposed the noise was made by the slamming of one of the shutters at the rear of the house.
When Mr. and Mrs. Barker sat down to the breakfast table they were informed that Mr. Megquier had not made his appearance. Fearing that he might be ill one of the servant girls was dispatched to the room to call him. She rapped several times on the door, but was unable to get any response and reported the facts to the family.
Mr. Barker immediately thought of the noise he had heard and was satisfied that something out of the ordinary had occurred. He sent for the hostler and directed him to proceed to the room occupied by Mr. Megquier and make an investigation. He soon returned with the information that Megquier was lying on the floor with the blood streaming from his nose and that a revolver was lying by his side. Dr. R. C. Moore was telephoned for, and arriving at the residence proceeded to the room, where he found Mr. Megquier as reported by the hostler. The body was still warm, but life was extinct.
The surroundings in the room disclosed the fact that Mr. Megquier had occupied his bed during the night and had risen in the morning as usual and completed preparations for his toilet, previous to which he had slipped on a pair of pants over his night shirt.
DREAD BLINDNESS
Mr. Megquier had been troubled with his eyes for some time and had recently expressed himself as being fearful that his business life would be terminated by the loss of his eyesight. He has been under the treatment of Dr. Clifford for some weeks and went to the Presbyterian hospital a short time ago to receive special treatment, he remained in the hospital one week and returned to the residence of Mr. Darker on Thursday last and expressed himself as very much pleased to be able to return once more.
He was, however, but very little better, and his eyesight would not permit of his reading and he was unable to distinguish his friends when they were a short distance from him.
He sat in the parlor in company with Mr. Barker's family Wednesday night and was evidently not despondent at that time. He retired to his room at 10 o'clock, which was the last time he was seen alive. While in the parlor the mysterious death of Mr. Egbert was discussed. Members of the family stated that they were of the opinion that Mr. Egbert had been murdered, to which Mr. Megquier replied that none but insane people committed suicide. While Mr. Megquier's life was undoubtedly taken by himself, the general opinion is that he did not contemplate taking his own life when he retired at night, but on awakening up in the morning, the weather being gray, he felt discouraged and thinking that he would be blind in a short time he took his life. The suppression is that a sudden attack of insanity came upon him while arranging his morning's toilet and that he immediately proceeded to his dresser where his revolver was kept, took the weapon from its accustomed place and standing before the mirror placed the muzzle to his head and fired. He fell backwards to the floor and was evidently dead when he fell, as the blood which flowed from the wound was to be found in only one place and that was near where his head was resting.
Herman Kountze of the First National bank was notified and soon afterward was at the Darker residence. He was much shocked to learn of the demise of his trusted employee. Mr. Kountze said that he could assign no reason other than the fear of losing his eyesight that had caused Mr. Megquier to take his own life. The accounts of the deceased were perfectly straight and he had all the confidence which could be inspired by long and faithful service. Mr. Kountze knew him to have been a man of exemplary habits.
SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.
Mr. Megquier had never married. His nearest relatives are two sisters, one of whom is married, and a brother, who was last heard of in California. Miss Megquier, the single sister, is teaching in a seminary in Booneville, Mo., and the other sister, Mrs. Lonberger, is in Chicago, undergoing treatment which is made necessary on account of ill health.
Mr. Megquier was born at Booneville, Mo., in 1838, and received his education at that place. In 1861 he entered the quartermaster's department under General William Meyers and was stationed at St. Louis, where he remained until 1866. He was transferred with General Meyers to Omaha, acting as chief clerk, and remained here until 1870, becoming acquainted with the Kountzes, the bank took a liking to him and he was sent to New York, where he accepted a position in their bank in that city. He remained there for some time, but resigned his position and again entered the office of General Meyers and went to California and later to St. Paul where he remained up to 1882. He left St. Paul to accept the position of assistant cashier of the First National bank in the city, which position he continued to hold.
His niece, the daughter of Mrs. Lonberger, married Richard Kimball, son of T. L. Kimball, and resides near Waterloo, this county.
Fred H. Davis, cashier of the First National bank, in speaking of the sad death of Mr. Megquier, said that during the past few weeks the deceased had been quite despondent, frequently saying he feared that he would lose his sight; that he would be of no use to himself, nor to anyone else. Upon such occasions Mr. Davis would talk to him and cheer him up, though he would again seem to lose spirit and insist that he would become blind.
The hour for holding the inquest has not yet been determined, but it will be sometime this afternoon.
With the Woman's Club.
One of the best recitals of the department of music was given Wednesday at the rooms of the Omaha Woman's club. Despite the immense attraction at the Dee building then, there was a good audience, and the ladies were amply repaid for their attendance.
The first on the program was the beautiful allegro "Drilliant" of Mendelssohn, arranged for two pianos. It was played by Mrs. McIntosh and Mina Muentzering.
Sons, "Arise, for the World Rejoices," by Mrs. Henry D. Estabrook, was sung in flawless style. Mrs. Estabrook also sang "The Dreaming Eyes," by MacDowell, and "At Twilight," by Newman.
The women had the pleasure of listening to the viola alto, most of them hearing this lovely instrument for the first time. It was played by Rudolph Engel of Germany. Mr. Homer Moore gave a very interesting talk concerning the viola alto, saying there were but two persons in the United States who played it, one of them being Mr. Engel.
The last number was Chopin's "Rondo in Major." played by Mme. Muentzering and Mrs. McIntosh.
At the conclusion of the program, Mr. Buchanan presented the club with the five beautiful pictures that already adorned the walls of the club room, but which were not the property of the club.
Mrs. Ford accepted the gift for the club in her felicitous style.
Mrs. Buchanan offered a set of resolutions from the music department to the club and the general public thanking them for their most cordial support of this department during the year. The resolutions were ordered spread on the records of the club and to be given for publication.
WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM
. .. .
Consolidated Concerns that Contribute to the
City Treasury.
The class of dealers who pay tribute to the city has increased materially within the last few years, and, although the saloons still furnish the bulk of the license money, other sources contribute no insignificant amount.
The reports of the license Inspector for the first three months of the present year indicate the extent to which the school fund is reinforced by these contributors. January was naturally the banner month, as nearly all the saloon licenses were paid during that month. There were 635 licenses of all sorts issued, from which the school board derived a revenue of $209,135. In the following months the aggregate was decreased, but each month brings in a revenue of several thousands of dollars.
The aggregate of licenses issued during January, February and March was 762. The total amount accruing was $215,660.50. These were distributed as follows: Saloon licenses, 209; druggists, 61; milk wagons, 108; milk depots, 21; employment agencies, 6; house movers, 7; Junk dealers, 5; gunpowder, 6; plumbers, 35; runners, 7; hacks, 13; hack drivers, 38; wagon peddlers, 1; cart peddlers, 27; foot peddlers, 13; electricians, 6; omnibuses, 6; express, 102; miscellaneous, 42.
Outside of the amounts collected from druggists, plumbers, Junk dealers, hack drivers and electricians, this entire amount goes to the school fund. These specified items are not considered as licenses, but are technically designated as permits, and the proceeds go to reinforce the general fund of the city. They do not materially affect the aggregate, however, as the entire amount collected during 1894 from these sources was only $1,242.25.
To offset this subtraction there must be added the amount received from police court fines, which is not considered in the report of the Inspector, and which amounted to $15,112.50 last year.
ALL OF THE STRINGS.
Interesting Efforts have been made to Fill a Void of Education Vacancy.
As the time approaches for the election of a new member of the Board of Education to fill the place made vacant by Dr. Duryea's resignation, the wire-pulling in favor of various aspirants becomes more energetic. It was stated yesterday that J. D. Meickle had decided not to make an active canvass for the position and the indications were that the forces of those who oppose the election of Charles Huntington would be centered on George Laur as a compromise candidate. It has been decided that it will be useless to attempt to elect a man who is not in some degree identified with what is now the controlling faction in the board. This being the case, the opposition prefers to choose Laur to Huntington. The leading element is not so unfavorably disposed toward Laur, who is understood to be in sympathy with it. Its opponents regard him as somewhat more conservative in his allegiance to the majority than Huntington would be.

SHOT DOWN THE ENGINEER
Attempt at Train Robbery Balked at the Expense of a Life.
MAIL CLERKS PURSUE THE BANDITS
Response right In the Club Revolvers Against a Firemen's Pick One Minute
Takes but Resulted in the Precinct's
Encounter and Was Set Free.
CHICAGO, May 2. The hold-up of the Chicago & Alton northbound lightning express last night near Carlinville, Ill., appears to have been a much more desperate affair than first reported. Immediately upon the arrival of the train in Chicago today a reporter of the Associated Press interviewed Mail Clerk J. P. Keevers, who was aboard at the time of the attack. Mr. Keevers said:
"The train was Chicago & Alton No. 3, out of St. Louis at 8:55 last evening. It was held up by armed robbers at Carlinville, just before midnight, and in a plucky fight with the robbers, Engineer Frank Holmes laid down his life.
"Carlinville is fifty-seven miles from St. Louis and train No. 3, Conductor Conlin and Engineer Holmes, left there on schedule time at 11:31 and began the run to Brighton, the next regular stop. Hardly had the train gotten under way when two tramps lying flat on the coal in the tender were startled by the appearance of two masked men, who came crawling over the tender. Poking two big revolvers into the faces of the tramps, the newcomers enjoined them to silence and strict attention to their own business.
"Passing on to the engine cab, one of the armed men ordered the two firemen, one man extra learning the road, to put up their hands, while they covered the engineer and ordered him to give her a full head and be lively about it. Holmes made a pretense of doing so and then the robber, apparently satisfied, stepped back a foot or two. Engineer Holmes was on the alert for the opportunity presented, and, seizing the fireman's pick used in breaking coal, he dealt the robber two quick, glancing blows on the head. Both robbers at once opened fire and plucky Frank Holmes fell dead in the gangway of his engine with at least three bullet holes in his breast. The fireman shut off steam and put on the air, and the heavy train slowed down to a standstill. As it did so, the two robbers swung off. A number of men had been riding on the rear platform of the mail car and at the first report, two of the mail clerks working at the letter case heard out of them exclaim: "There, they are shooting; let's get off." Jumping off, they realized that their plans had miscarried. After a moment of indecision, they started to flee.
"The mail clerks, who had at first supposed that the firing was done by a brakeman as a menace to defiant tramps, heard the fireman shouting, "Frank Holmes is shot dead." Mail Clerk John H. Conefry and Baggage Man
C. Logan, who were in charge of the weighing of mails for the government and railroad company, respectively, hastened to their grips, in which lay their Smith & Wesson revolvers, and jumping from the mail car proceeded to assist the trainmen in their search for the slayers of Frank Holmes. Hurrying around the engine, Logan stumbled over a man lying prone in the grass and commanded him to rise. Reluctantly complying, the man protested earnestly against arrest and claimed to be no war connected with the trouble. Connelly pushed on and came upon a man with a repeating rifle and a belt full of cartridges. His back was turned and Connelly covered him and ordered him to come along. The man demurred strongly, claiming he had been on a hunting expedition. Connelly refused to parley and getting his revolver in a line with the suspect's heart convinced him that he had an earnest man to deal with. Logan and Connelly turned their men over to Conductor Connelly and the passengers who had come forward, Connelly in the meantime having secured the two tramps who had been on the tender. The man with the gun told such a convincing story to account for his presence that Connelly was persuaded of his innocence and permitted him to go, an action which the conductor strongly regretted when his emotion over the killing of his old friend Holmes had subsided.
CONNELLY MADE A MISTAKE.
The passengers and others believe Connelly made a serious mistake. The man with the Winchester was a counterpart of the usual train robber. The two men detained were turned over to a deputy sheriff when the train backed down to Carlinville, a mile away.
Train 3 is said to carry at times large sums of money and the object of the bandits was probably to loot the express car, believing that their success would compensate for the desperate chances taken in robbing the train.
Chief Agent Kane of the Chicago & Alton, one of the best railroad detectives in the country, is on the scene and prosecuting a vigorous search for the robbers.
Officials of the Alton road deny emphatically today that there was any attempt to hold up the train at Carlinville last night when Engineer Frank Holmes was shot and killed. The shooting, they say, was done by tramps. John J. Mitchell of St. Louis, a director of the road who was on the train said today: "It is absurd to talk of a train robbery in connection with that affair. The three tramps simply intended to take possession of the tender and ride free. They climbed aboard and Engineer Holmes ordered them off. When they refused to leave he picked up a piece of coal to throw, when one of the men fired with fatal results. There was evidently no intention on the part of the men to commit robbery."
The officials of the road think they have the murderer of Holmes in the man who was caught as he was leaving the tender. He is smooth-shaven, and while the fireman is not positively able to identify him he says that the man who did the shooting was beardless. The supposed murderer was hatless when captured and a hat that fits him was found on the tender. The real names of the tramps are not known to the authorities.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill., May 2. Two tramps, suspected of complicity in the murder of Engineer Holmes, were arrested here today and held for examination. They gave the names of E. J. Lund and Charles Lange. A report from Carlinville states that two other suspects have been captured there by Deputy Sheriff Utt.
Step to be Taken.
The deed by which the property at the southeast corner of Nineteenth and Harney streets, together with the Dyron Reed collection, is transferred from Abraham L. Reed as trustee, to the city of Omaha, has been approved by the public library board and is now in the hands of the Judiciary committee of the city council. The committee will be expected to report at the next meeting of the council and the approval of the city will be the last step which will make the property in question a possession of the city.

Some of the most able musicians and vocalists of the city will take part. A full house is anticipated by the committee in charge.
SPOOFACIQUITTED.
Supreme Court Clears Him of the Murder of the Mute.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2. Herman Spaf has been acquitted in the United States circuit court of the charge of assisting in the murder of Second Mate Maurice Fitzgerald of the American bark, Hesper. He was found guilty on a former trial and the United States supreme court reversed the case.
Spaf was the only witness of the murder ever placed on the stand and he was cleared on the ground that he and Hanson did not commit the murder, or assist therein, but that they threw the body overboard to shield St. Clair and to save the captain's life.
Spaf's story, as told in court, was that after St. Clair had killed Mate Fitzgerald he wanted Spaf and Hanson to summon the captain so that they could murder him also, but Spaf persuaded St. Clair to throw the body overboard so they could tell the captain the mate had fallen from aloft into the sea. Otherwise, the captain would have discovered the body and St. Clair would have had to kill the captain also in order to shield his first crime.
The bark Hesper, on which occurred the murder of Second Mate Maurice Fitzgerald, sailed from Port Townsend on August 8, 1892, for Adelaide, South Australia, with a cargo of lumber. New sailors were shipped at Newcastle, N.S.W., where the Hesper went to load coal for Honolulu. Here Thomas St. Clair, the ringleader of the plot to murder the officers, and his partners in crime Martin, Spaf, Hans Hanson, Thomas Larson were signed. The bark sailed from Newcastle on December 22, 1892, and everything went along smoothly until the night of January 13, 1893. Fitzgerald had the watch on deck and the sailors on duty were St. Clair, Spaf, Hanson, and Larson. Captain Sodergren was asleep below, but awoke and heard St. Clair call Fitzgerald forward with the notification that the fore royal sheet had been carried away. The mate ran forward and went to his death. St. Clair attacked him to death with a hatchet and when he fell on the deck Hanson and Spaf lifted up his body and pitched it overboard.
The defendants in the case were at once brought here in irons. St. Clair was tried and convicted in the United States court and is now under sentence of death. He is to be hanged May 31. Hanson was convicted and the supreme court recently affirmed the judgment. He is soon to be sentenced.
POUND DAMAGED PROPERTY,
C. A. Spreckels Suit for $100,000 Damage; Plows $100,000.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2. The depositions are being taken in the $100,000 damage suit of C. A. Spreckels against his father, Claus Spreckels, the sugar king, for alleged slander. C. A. Spreckels devoted several hours yesterday to telling why he sued his father for slander. Claus Spreckels will tell today why he made the statements to which his son takes exception. The statements of each will be used in the coming trial. While the young man could not mention any particular occasion where he had suffered financially, he said that his general reputation had been injured. All of the Spreckels millions, he said, would not recompense him for the damage done to his standing in the community.
The suit for slander is based on an article published several weeks ago in which Claus Spreckels was quoted as saying that C. A.
Spreckels and his younger brother had attempted to defraud him of a large sum of money and that O. A. Spreckels was a prominent business man and would soon be bankrupt. TROUBLES ONLY COMMENCED. Evacuation of Corinto Likely to Be Followed by a Revolution. NICARAGUA IN A STATE OF MUCH FERMENT Arbitrary Rule of the President Has Led to the Citizens of the Little Republic. Expulsion of Hutch a Great Outrage. NEW YORK, May 2. Passengers on the steamship Columbia, which has reached here from Colon, report that Nicaragua is in a ferment over President Zelaya's arbitrary rule. One passenger, who proposes to return to Nicaragua and therefore does not wish to have his name known, says: "A revolution is preparing in Nicaragua. Plans for Zelaya's overthrow are well under way and when the coffee crop is harvested there will be an uprising throughout the country. Zelaya's policy in the expulsion of Hatch was outrageous. When Carlos returned from his mission to England, President Zelaya kept secret from everyone the fact that the minister had failed. Even when British war ships were moving toward Corinto, Zelaya had hoodwinked the people that disregarded the report that the British intended to occupy the town. When the British war ships did arrive, they were amazed.
"One of the president's latest acts of persecution, it is alleged, was the brutal treatment of a son of ex-President Zavala at Granada. While Zavala was at the theater, the place was surrounded by soldiers, he was taken out and while his mother and wife stood by, the soldiers searched and then beat him." Other passengers say two agents of the revolutionary party on their way to France were on the Columbia. They also declared that the shipment of 140,000 cartridges on the City of Panama to Guatemala was significant in view of the present situation in Nicaragua.
A. P. A. Organization in LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 2. W. J. H. Treynor of Detroit, president of the supreme council of the A. P. A., who is in the city, has organized a state council of that organization. Pine Bluff, Fort Smith, Little Rock, and Hot Springs are represented. Mr. Treynor refused to divulge the names of his Arkansas co-workers. He said the war will be waged in this state until every Roman Catholic is driven out of office.
United to Work at Higher Wages.
NEWCASTLE, Pa., May 2. The striking employees in all four of Newcastle's furnaces have been granted an advance and went to work this morning. The settlement was on the basis of $1.60 for turners instead of $1.40, which they have been receiving. This scale was in effect five years ago. It will raise keepers' wages from $1.75 to $2.05 per day, top fillers from $1.60 to $1.80; laborers, $1.20 to $1.30; iron carriers, 13 cents per ton.
Hilarious Bank Friends.
BERLIN, May 2. Prince Bismarck has written a letter to his favorite organ, the Hamburger Nachrichten, saying that, unable to answer the multitude of congratulations he has received from all parts of Germany, from Germans abroad and particularly from citizens of the United States, he begs his friends to accept his cordial and heartfelt thanks for their messages of goodwill on the occasion of his eightieth birthday. | 29 |

CATTliIl With only twenty-three loads
of cattle reported In the yards today there
w 're not enough of nny kind to make much
of a test of the market. Tlie supply of bief
stecra on sale was limited to about three
loads of natives nnd the same number of
wcsteins The latter were grain fed Otegon
steers of good quality. With so few fat
cattle here the market was naturally tt lit
tle stronger , and In most cases steers sold
lOc higher. Soms light 1,000-lb natl\es
brought $1.2 : , with a load of l.lO lb. nathcs
at $1 5.
The supply of cows nnd heifers consisted
principally of a few odds nnd ends , which

Judge Kelly In bfliulf of the Union 1'acinc
In opening the Kearney tll erlmln tlcm c
for llic defcnilnnts. now Known as tlic Otis-
tin ratt , called the Interstate Comni rco
commission's attention to the \oltime of sta-
tUtlcs prepared l > ) the commlMlon for 1S9J
Mug n ! mummy of r.ilhvay mlloHK * t > r
which ha cffcrcd In pvlcltncc , con
trnatlns tlio mileage of the afM-ral railroads
In the country with the volume of business
done , lie then offered In evidence the Hre er
opinion and decree restraining the Union
cine from imttlng In lower rates than thos > e
now In fore ? .
To this Mr. Otislln objected , but the conv
illusion took the RIOUIH ! tint the courts
would have to uphold the hands of the coin-
mission , and therefore any opinion bearing
on the case would be considered on Its
merits. 1'urther , Judge Kcll > Introduced In
evidence , through Ulmor U Wood , assistant
general freight .igcnt of the Unlun 1'aclllc
who was called for the purpose , a table
showing the gross tonnage from UOO to 1S94 ,
and the loss to the comptny during the year
1891. This was merclv Introduced to show
the ratio oC revenues.
John S. IJrady of McCord , Ilrady & Co.
wholesale grocers , was called. He stated he
was familiar with the sugar Industry In the
Missouri Valley The total tonnage which
c.iMIo to this section he testified was about
83,000 tons , He testified th.it about 21.00C
tons came to Omaha , or about one-third of
the ( whole tonnage of the tcrrltor ) between
SlotiK City and Omaha carne to Oimha and
Council Dhifls. He also stated that up to
last year the whole product of the sugar re-
flnerics In the state was sold In Omaha , but
last year some part of the product ,
was sold In Colorado and other western states.
Asked by the commission as to ctlrr com
modities , ha stated the original point for
rlco was Louisiana ; Japan rlco coming
through New York at the present time ; mo
lasses from Louisiana ; refined molasses from
Omaha , Da > enport. Besides sugar marly
all the foreign goods came by way of N'ew
York , coffees from Now York and Ualtlmore ,
cjnned gcotls from the east came principally
from Baltimore Asked by Judge Morrison
what recent changts had been made In rates ,
he stat'd there was an advance of G cents on
first class freight July 1 , 1S94 , Could not
say whether any advance liad occurred this
jear ; certainly not from Chicago Docs a
very little carload business In Nebraska. Mr.It
Brady Htatetl that a man could ship a c.arload
of freight from New Yorls to Omaha , reload
and ship to Kearney for the same rate as the
man who ships from New York to Kearney
direct. In less than carloads ho thought
there would ba a fractional Incr.ase. Mr
Guatln then took the witness and
on cross-examination sought to establish the
fact that the American sugcr refiners , otherc
wise the trust , through Its quotations , deterb
mined the point east , south or west where
suifir was to be bought. Tlila , th ? witness
stated , was not true The refiners 'made the
rite and Included the freight In that rate
which the Jobbers paid.
GUSTfN WAS HEADED OFF.
Then Mr. Gustin attempted to show through
a hook prepared by Mr Ilrady that tlrre was
a combination of dealers to hold up con
sumers. Mr. Brady remarked that the book
was prepared for ready reference an 1 was
up from the tariff of the railroad com
panies.
"You are not trying Mr. Brady , " remarked
Jmlgp Morrison "You are trying the rail
roads. "
" 1 want to show unholy combinations , "
remarked Mr. Gustln , "v hlch aic tapping the
life blood " And he didn't get any further
Judge Morrison showed his annojanco bj
"aylnpr "If you seek to change theto com
binations jou will have to apply to some
other tribunal. We me not heie for that
purpose "
Mr Gustln then explained that h did not
blame Mr Brady but the railroads for
permitting combinations to b > made
C. D. Woodward , wholesale grocer at Grand
Island , was then called to the stand. He
showed that Gland Island and Kearney cn-
Jojed the same rates on a multiplicity of
articles , but on sugar there was a difference
from the Pacific coast. He stated that sumr
took the rate to the Missouri river , phis the
local rate from the river to cither Kearn y
or Grand Island. Little was elicited from
the cross-examination by Mr Gustln beand
what the witness testified to In his direct
examination.
B 12. Bruce of n E. Bruce & Co. . whole
sale druggists , was called to show that on
one-third of the drug trade there was no
discrimination against Kearney and In favor
of Omaha. Mr. Gustln took him up on the
other two-thirds and It turned out there was
no discrimination there.
CROSBY DOGS SOME DEFINING.
George II. Crosby , general freight aRnt
of the Burlington company , was then sworn
Previous to exacting from the witness the
reason ? for his being called. General Solicitor J
Minderson called the attention of the com
mission to the- fact that 1 e coulil not obtain
a definition of "arbitrary" and "dlfferentl.il , "
and that some of the wltncsscj used the J
terms as synonymous , when they were clearly JV
not synonyrrous. that ho had calUd upon
the secretary of the commission for a defini 13
tion and that lie was not entirely clear aa
to Uio terms. Tor the purpose , therefore , of J
getting some fixity about the definitions he li
desired to call Mr Crosby and get him to
testify to certain railroad terms
Judge Morrison thought that In the next
case tried the terms would bo used inter Ai
changeably and that no absolute rule could
be laid down Mr. Manderson. however , ex
acted from Mr. Croiby the following defini
tions of widely used terms in railroading-
1 A through terminal ratp Is ono es
tablished liitween terminal stations only at ShI
the temlnl of continuous lines ami ita
most common use is with reference to 8.1
coast points.
2. A terminal rate Is one from any sta
tion on a line to one of Its termini.
2. A through rate Is one from one
starting1 point to another point that
la the destlnatlon'of freight and Is pener-
ally applied when the destination is be
yond the terminus of the railroad originally
iccelvInK thp freight
4 A local rate la one established between
stations on th- same line ot railroad.
An arbitral y rate Is one absolutely llxed \1J.
by the dictation of one rallioad having
some cxc ntionnl condition of tracl : or
transportation like brldau or boat transfer
or more advantageous line , and N usually
taken out in the llrft lintancp for payment
to said railroad before any division of the
Yc
rate tecelveil among the continuous lln-s
participating1 In the carriage.
G A differential rate Is one established th
either aihltiarlly or by agreement , Blvlnn ca.
to n elation or locality a. c-ilaln llxed re. 37
ductlon or an Increase or decrease on a
Riven rale and may be cither a llxcd Yc
amount or percentage. ( H
These definitions , Mr. Manderson remarked , on
were offered to invite criticism or revlovv on
the part of the cotmnisiion , and therefore
they became a part of the testimony In the
case ,
LOSING MONEY ON COAL.
Mr Greene , assistant general solicitor of tlie
Burlington , thin , began the examination cf by
Mr Crosby on coal rates with a view of
showing that the Burlington could not meet
tha Union Pacific rste at Kearney If It so
desired , Mr. Gustln's theory being that at If
the Burlington quoted low rates to certain
paints the Union Poclfio ought to b. In duty
bound to make the sams rates. Mr. Crosby
Elated the present rates were the lowest a
ever made by railroads and that the roads all
were losing money In the transportation ol
coal. Ha stated that as Nebraska had no
local coal interests It was the business of
railroads to glvo the citizens as cheap coal
ai possible , and as Sheridan coal was a now
coal on the market , It was thought best to
give the people the b.nellt ot low rate * on
fuel.

He testified that on a readjustment of rat ° s

Miow that the Missouri , Kansns A Texas

for Kturney different from that nuw given
Kearney on fourth class by the Burlington.
Mr Crifby replied that his road was not
paity to the tariff and the roads named as
parties to lit * tariff did not touch Kearney.
Mr. Crosby il-o said tint the tariff was abso
lutely unreliable and should nol bo considered.
Adjourned until 2 o'clock.
GUSTIN TKLLS KUAUNEY'9 WANTS.
J. A. ( Justin , who lias largely figured before -
fore the Interstate Comtnerco commission
In times past , and who has championed the
cause of Kcarno > In fcoason and out of sea
son , allrglns all sorts of discriminations
ncalnit his cltj by tlie tallroads , began the
afternoan session of thu commission yoslcr-
duy by calling Pi eight Commlcsloncr John 13.
Ult of the Commercial club to show over
charges on the part of the rnllroids Old
history was nltempted to bo Introduced
through the witness , but the commission
held Mr. ( Justin down to the question ot
present or past rates , and remarked that If
ho had any evidence In the bool.s ho wanted
to get In ho could Indicate such evidence
and the commission would look It up.
Mr. titistln thru took the stand and for
mulated the desires of Kearney as to In and
out rates , offering In evidence- long scries
of tariffs , coloring n multiplicity of subjects
wherein Kearney feels Itself discriminated
against.
_ "This Is hardly rebuttal testimony , " said
General Mumlerson , "and It Is only hindering
the testimony for which we lm\o to pay. "
"Novor mind. " replied Mr. Oustln , "I am
able to pay my share of the cxpenso "
"Well , I am not , " said Mr. Manderson , "If
we expect to pay dividends. "
" 1 have no doubt you will try to get out
of paying > our share ot the expense , " re
sponded Mr. Gustln.
After receiving In evidence proceedings ns
to the union depot and the cost of maintain
ing that structure , the commission adjourned.
Messrs Morrison and Vrnzoy go to Kansas
City tonight to take up seieral cases to
morrow. Colonel Morrison said that there
were several cases pending , one brought by
Wichita against the railroads of the south ,
declaring n discrimination against Wichita
In favor of Kansas City. In this case Colonel
Morrison thought thcro might be something
Interesting , much the same conditions obtain
ing against Wichita ns the stockmen of
South Omaha allege obtain against that
city and In fa\or of Kansas City.

An artist In the
Thlladelphli Record tells a
story of a dog and a cat. The two grew up
together and have always been the grcitest
of chums. A short time ago the cat pre
sented the family with n number of kittens ,
and the dog evinced the liveliest Interest
In ' the new arrivals. Several days ago , after
the manner peculiar to cats , the mother took
It Into her head to mo\e her family. Ono by
one she tenderly carried the kittens to their
now homo , the dogtrotting by her side , his
cjes wide open with wonJer. Finally the last
kitten ' was reached. Mrs. Pussy took It In
her ' mouth and was about to start off with
It when Mr. Dog was suddenly seized with
the Idea that he was lacking In gallantry.
Carefully noting the manner In which the
cat ; cirrled her offspring , he seized the mother
by : the back of the neck In the same manner ,
and the- strange locking trio made- the trip
tc the new quarters In safety.

The legal profession was the last of three
so-called learned professions to bo opened to
women In America , not bccauso of reluc
tance on the part of the courts , but because
women did not so easily apply for admlss.on.
There are now not less than cloven law
schools open to women , and twenty-five
states and territories admit women to tlio
bar. There are over 200 women lawyers In
\mcrlca , nine of whom are admitted to
practice before the supreme court of the
United States.
A Slilji for a Monument.
The most remarkable monument that has
ever been erected over a grave In the United

Wheat Opened Strong but Closed Weak on
Much Rainy Weather.
THERE WAS NO DEMAND AND FOR CASH ARTICLE
Corn firm and In London firm and active
Wheat's Close; Price Dwindling
Trailing Hardly-Only; It Fair
In London.
OPENING, May 2-Wheat opened strong
and closed weak again. Demand for the
cash article was wanting, and prices were
conjectured to be volatile for nearly every
patched patch of winter wheat east of the
Mississippi. Harvester of cash Grain here
reported no sale, and New York said that
there was no inquiry for either wheat or
corn.
Wheat, compared with yesterday's closing price, is significantly lower, corn is slightly lower and oats % c lower. Provisions were independently
High and made the model gains in price.
The early cables again, as on the day before, filled the bull with enthusiasm and encouraged the buying of wheat at the start at an advantage of from 1 c to % o c higher.
July opened with buyers willing to pay all
the way from 402c to 405c, and for about
twenty minutes the pit kept on the boil at
nearly the top figures of the opening range
During one of its high kicks, the price
struck 407c, but inside of forty minutes
from the start it had tumbled back to
402c, and wabbled up and down between
that and 401c for more than an hour after
ward The early cables quoted the following advances: Liverpool, 10 cents higher and
strong; Paris, 10 cents higher for Flour
and 5 centimes higher for May wheat; Berlin,
higher, the equivalent of no per bushel for May and 2 1/2 cents per bushel for September.
Those quotations, together with the dry
weather east of the Mississippi and the
fear of what the men who control the cash
wheat might do, made the combination
which put the price up. In general, in many
of the winter wheat districts and light allowances over a wider area,
with a general rainy condition drifting
steadily eastward, were the reasons for the
decline which followed the first advance.
The market had a quick reaction from 407c
for July to 404c before 12 o'clock, the orders
to buy at the decline proving more than
enough to absorb the offerings and re
awaken the earlier panicky feeling of the
Shorts. The foreign cables to the Board of
Trade, giving the close of the markets,
quoted strong advances at Berlin and Paris,
the former being given at an advance
equivalent to 25 c per bushel for May, 21 c for
September, and the latter about 21 c higher
for both the present month and the September-December term. These strong cables were given as the reason for the second
bulge already referred to, but as the handlers of cash wheat reported no demand and
an abundance of July wheat was for sale at
prices and over, the market became weaker
than expected, and the price broke lower than
on the earlier declines. Receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth were 231 cars,
against 370 cars a week ago, and 248 cars on the corresponding day of last year.
The primary markets received 199,000 bushels,
against 220,000 a year ago, being the first for a long time to fall below the volume of last year's
movement. Imports of wheat and flour from
Atlantic ports amounted to 233,000 bushels,
about half of which was in flour. July closed at
Corn was firm and in good demand at
yesterday's closing price when trading began. It began to bulge very rapidly under
the influence of the opening strength in
wheat, but only continued strong when it
was thus encouraged. In the afternoon, the
selling was weak and prices very consider
ably lower than in the morning. July
waxed at 49c and advanced to 50c, but on another bulge in wheat ran up again to 51c
At the close it touched 51c. The price of
cash corn for shipment was early in the
day said to be within a trifling of a working
profit for export.
Only a fair business was transacted in
oats. The tenancy of the market was
weaker, influenced by indications of rain
and a good disposition to sell, principally
long oats. The weakness in wheat and
corn extended into oats, and fluctuations to
a great extent were influenced by those markets
May sold at from 3 1/2 c to 2 1/2 c, down to
from 2 1/2 c to 24 c, and closed at from
9 c to 4 c lower. July rigged at from 2 1/2 c to 23 1/2c to 28c, resting at the latter price
The trading in provisions was rather
light, but prices improved a little, and
closed 13c higher for July pork, 6c higher
for July lard, and the same advance in
ribs. Hog receipts were about 10,000 below
the estimates made yesterday, and for tomorrow only 10,000 are estimated. Stocks
since a month ago showed a decrease of between 1,000,000 and 11,000,000 pounds.

1 market fall in 1, 2, 3, 4. A medium, small, careful market, 8 Stroker and Hounds, premium in Nickeled Silver Act. Through the day, New York, May 2, speculation was active throughout. The only exception was the two brief periods between 11 and 12 o'clock and around delivery hours, when the market was trended. Prices were generally higher in the morning, tipping over. Sales to real profit were the moving influence. The factors in the market were the good buying, the firmness of American stocks in London, the post crop improvement in wheat and Southwestern, the alightness of higher prices for the products of various industrial companies, the necessity of military situation and the weakness of metals excepting. A steady volume in circulation about noon that reflected differences of opinion among men; the coal prices remained stable at today's market, which led to a difference and a right shift of docks in this extent, followed by a high result of the passenger dissolved, this happened and the shares were quickly recovered. Sugar roared higher, reaching a record high in the grain market, while the steel market was volatile, with a 4 percent increase in the great bull movement in all of the stock last part. Pullman opened at an advantage of 1 percent and made an additional 3 percent to 177, closing at the top. This stock was down to 151 on January 2 of this year, which makes the advance to date 23, exclusive of the 5 percent dividend now payable. The entire market closed strong, and with a few temporary exceptions at an advance of over 20 percent on yesterday's final sales.
The bull market was generally ruled active and strong, but there were a few issues that limited to heaviness. The total volume was 9 million. The evening: Post's London cable stated that the stock market was calm today, but generally higher from consols, delivering fresh life to the speculative market and mines, while American stocks were good, but idle. There was a slight spurt in the street, at Paul and Union Pacific Railroad; Southern and other Southern Americans were better. The American sentiment is still bullish. The first considerable sales are being made these prominent appointments, owing to the rush of the money market. Of the deposits of coin and bullion in the Bank of England, this week 3030 was exported, the deficits being 600 sent to the Cape and 200 to importers from China, 850 from Australia and 750 from Portland, the remainder being dissipated and coming into circulation at the end of the month. The increase in other securities apps fits the banks for investments. The budget speech is now preparing. The city expects it to contain nothing startling. The past figures have undoubtedly been a prompt increase in connection with the booming in mining shares.

Judge Kelly in behalf of the Union Pacific
In opening the Kearney terminal for the
definition of the defendants, now known as
the Otis line, called the Interstate Commerce
Commission's attention to the statements
prepared by the commission for 1891, which
have affected the prevalence, containing the
mileage of the various railroads in the
country with the volume of business done, he
then offered in evidence the free opinion and
decree restraining the Union Pacific from
charging lower rates than those now in
force.
To this Mr. Otislin objected, but the
conviction took the position that the courts
would have to uphold the hands of the
commission, and therefore any opinion
bearing on the case would be considered on
its merits. Further, Judge Kelley
introduced in evidence, through Ulmer L.
Wood, assistant general freight agent of the
Union Pacific, who was called for the purpose,
a table showing the gross tonnage from 1880
to 1894, and the loss to the company during
the year 1891. This was merely introduced to
show the ratio of revenues.
John S. Brady of McCord, Brady & Co.,
wholesale grocers, was called. He stated he
was familiar with the sugar industry in the
Missouri Valley. The total tonnage which
came to this section he testified was about
83,000 tons, He testified that about 21,000
tons came to Omaha, or about one-third of
the whole tonnage of the territory between
St. Louis City and Omaha came to Omaha and
Council Bluffs. He also stated that up to
last year the whole product of the sugar
refineries in the state was sold in Omaha,
but last year some part of the product
was sold in Colorado and other western
states. Asked by the commission as to other
commodities, he stated the original point for
price was Louisiana; Japanese rice coming
through New York at the present time; raw
sugar from Louisiana; refined sugar from
Omaha, Denver. Besides sugar, mainly all the
foreign goods came by way of New York,
coffees from New York and Baltimore, coal
from the east came principally from
Baltimore. Asked by Judge Morrison what
recent changes had been made in rates,
he stated there was an advance of 5 cents on
first-class freight July 1, 1894, Could not
say whether any advance had occurred this
year; certainly not from Chicago. Does a
very little carload business in Nebraska.
Mr. Brady stated that a man could ship a
carload of freight from New York to Omaha,
reload and ship to Kearney for the same rate
as the man who ships from New York to
Kearney directly. In less than carloads, he
thought there would be a fractional increase.
Mr. Gustino then took the witness and
on cross-examination sought to establish the
fact that the American sugar refiners,
otherwise the trust, through its quotations,
determined the point east, south, or west
where sugar was to be bought. This, the
witness stated, was not true. The refiners
made the rate and included the freight in
that rate which the jobbers paid.
GUSTINO WAS HEADED OFF.
Then Mr. Gustino attempted to show through
a book prepared by Mr. Brady that there was
a combination of dealers to hold up consumers.
Mr. Brady remarked that the book was
prepared for ready reference and was
taken from the tariff of the railroad
companies.
"You are not trying Mr. Brady," remarked
Judge Morrison "You are trying the railroads. "
"I want to show unholy combinations," remarked Mr. Gustino,
"which are tapping the life blood" And he didn't get any further
Judge Morrison showed his annoyance by
saying "If you seek to change the terms
combinations, you will have to apply to some
other tribunal. We are not here for that
purpose "
Mr. Gustino then explained that he did not
blame Mr. Brady but the railroads for
permitting combinations to be made.
C. D. Woodward, wholesale grocer at Grand
Island, was then called to the stand. He
showed that Grand Island and Kearney
enjoyed the same rates on a multiplicity of
articles, but on sugar there was a difference
from the Pacific coast. He stated that sugar
took the rate to the Missouri river, which
was the local rate from the river to either
Kearney or Grand Island. Little was elicited
from the cross-examination by Mr. Gustino
than what the witness testified to in his direct
examination.
B. F. Bruce of E. Bruce & Co., wholesale
druggists, was called to show that on one-third
of the drug trade there was no discrimination
against Kearney and in favor of Omaha. Mr.
Gustino took him up on the other two-thirds
and it turned out there was no discrimination
there.
George H. Crosby, general freight agent
of the Burlington company, was then sworn
Previous to extracting from the witness the
reason for his being called, General Solicitor
J. Manderson called the attention of the
commission to the fact that he could not
obtain a definition of "arbitrary" and
"differentiual," and that some of the witnesses
used the terms as synonymous, when they were
clearly not synonymous. That he had called
upon the secretary of the commission for a
definition and that he was not entirely clear
as to the terms. For the purpose, therefore,
of getting some fixity about the definitions he
desired to call Mr. Crosby and get him to
testify to certain railroad terms.
Judge Morrison thought that in the next case
tried the terms would be used interchangeably
and that no absolute rule could be laid down.
Mr. Manderson, however, extracted from Mr.
Crosby the following definitions of widely
used terms in railroading:
1. A through terminal rate is one established
between terminal stations only at the terminal
of continuous lines and its most common use is
with reference to coast points.
2. A terminal rate is one from any station on a
line to one of its termini.
3. A through rate is one from one starting point
to another point that is the destination of
freight and is generally applied when the
destination is beyond the terminus of the
railroad originally receiving the freight
4. A local rate is one established between
stations on the same line of railroad.
An arbitrary rate is one absolutely fixed by
the dictation of one railroad having some
exceptional condition of track or
transportation like bridge or boat transfer
or more advantageous line, and is usually
taken out in the first instance for payment
to said railroad before any division of the
rate received among the continuous lines
participating in the carriage.
A differential rate is one established either
arbitrarily or by agreement, giving a certain
relation or locality a certain fixed reduction
or an increase or decrease on a given rate and
may be either a fixed amount or percentage.
These definitions, Mr. Manderson remarked,
were offered to invite criticism or revision on
the part of the commission, and therefore
they became a part of the testimony in the
case.
LOSING MONEY ON COAL.
Mr. Greene, assistant general solicitor of the
Burlington, then began the examination of Mr.
Crosby on coal rates with a view of
showing that the Burlington could not meet
the Union Pacific rates at Kearney if it so
desired, Mr. Gustino's theory being that if
the Burlington quoted low rates to certain
points, the Union Pacific ought to be in duty
bound to make the same rates. Mr. Crosby
stated the present rates were the lowest ever
made by railroads and that the roads all
were losing money in the transportation of
coal. He stated that as Nebraska had no
local coal interests it was the business of
railroads to give the citizens as cheap coal as
possible, and as Sheridan coal was a new
coal on the market, it was thought best to
give the people the benefit of low rates on
fuel.
Fuel, he testified that on a readjustment of rates, Kearney prayed for every railroad in Nebraska would be affected and that the Missouri River rate would probably obtain the readjustment. The witness then testified about a number of articles upon which rates to Interior points in Nebraska were the same as to the river, sugar, however, was not included. Colonel Morrison then asked why sugar was not so favored in reply, Mr. Crosby stated that California mining would ship by water instead of by rail unless the mill freight rate was formidable, which it was aimed to accomplish. As far as the transcontinental rate, the Burlington was on an intermediate route and accepted rates as they came to it. It made by other lines.
On cross-examination, Mr. Crosby offered to show that the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad, effective in October 1885, made a rate for Kearney different from that now given Kearney on fourth class by the Burlington. Mr. Crosby replied that his road was not party to the tariff and the roads named as parties to the tariff did not touch Kearney. Mr. Crosby also said that the tariff was absolutely unreliable and should not be considered. Adjourned until 2 o'clock.
GUSTIN TELLS KEARNEY'S WANTS.
J. A. (Gustin), who has largely figured before the Interstate Commerce commission in times past, and who has championed the cause of Kearney season and out of season, alleging all sorts of discriminations against his city by the railroads, began the afternoon session of the commission yesterday by calling upon Commissioner John F. Url of the Commercial club to show overcharges on the part of the railroads. Old history was attempted to be introduced through the witness, but the commission held Mr. Gustin down to the question of present or past rates, and remarked that if he had any evidence in the books he wanted to get in, he could indicate such evidence and the commission would look it up. Mr. Gustin then took the stand and formulated the desires of Kearney as to in and out rates, offering in evidence a long series of tariffs, coloring a multiplicity of subjects wherein Kearney feels itself discriminated against.
"This is hardly rebuttal testimony," said General Manderson, "and it is only hindering the testimony for which we have to pay."
"Never mind," replied Mr. Gustin, "I am able to pay my share of the expenses."
"Well, I am not," said Mr. Manderson, "if we expect to pay dividends."
"I have no doubt you will try to get out of paying our share of the expense," responded Mr. Gustin.
After receiving in evidence proceedings as to the union depot and the cost of maintaining that structure, the commission adjourned. Messrs. Morrison and Vanzoy go to Kansas City tonight to take up several cases tomorrow. Colonel Morrison said that there were several cases pending, one brought by Wichita against the railroads of the south, declaring a discrimination against Wichita in favor of Kansas City. In this case, Colonel Morrison thought there might be something interesting, much the same conditions obtaining against Wichita as the stockmen of South Omaha allege obtain against that city and in favor of Kansas City.
The Colony and the Cat.
An artist in the Philadelphia Record tells a story of a dog and a cat. The two grew up together and have always been the greatest of chums. A short time ago the cat presented the family with a number of kittens, and the dog evinced the liveliest interest in the new arrivals. Several days ago, after the manner peculiar to cats, the mother took it into her head to move her family. One by one she tenderly carried the kittens to their new home, the dog trotting by her side, his eyes wide open with wonder. Finally, the last kitten was reached. Mrs. Pussy took it in her mouth and was about to start off with it when Mr. Dog was suddenly seized with the idea that he was lacking in gallantry. Carefully noting the manner in which the cat carried her offspring, he seized the mother by the back of the neck in the same manner, and the strange trio made the trip to the new quarters in safety.
Detroit Tribune: "Isn't it singular," he remarked, "that you are a brunette when both of your parents are very light?"
"That is very easily explained," she rejoined, while winsome dimples enveloped her countenance in witchery. "I was born in a flat where babies were prohibited and had to be kept dark."
Opening of the Legal Profession to Women.
The legal profession was the last of three so-called learned professions to be opened to women in America, not because of resistance on the part of the courts, but because women did not so easily apply for admission. There are now not less than fifteen law schools open to women, and twenty-five states and territories admit women to the bar. There are over 200 women lawyers in America, nine of whom are admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States.
A Stale for a Monument.
The most remarkable monument that has ever been erected over a grave in the United States or in any other civilized country, perhaps, is the reproduction of an old-time whaling vessel, which is to be seen in one of the Boston cemeteries. It is a fine specimen of the shipbuilder's art, finished in iron and colored marble, and marks the last resting place of a departed sea captain.

A f weeks ngo a partial reduction was
annou d In Omaha and connected cities ,

the r vis.d rates were granted by the
parent company at the urgent retnio.it ot the
local ju-itTicnt. [ There Is little doubt that

is bu n scant fraction ot the cut In rates
whlc. . the Dell company has Inaugurated In
other r tics where competing companies have

from Municipal authorities.
An effort was made In the New York
legls * . tare to pass a bill fixing maximum
rates for telephone service throughout the
nut" When the bill was Introduced the
nnnu.it rates ranged from $18 In towns up
to Jl 3 and $200 in New York City and
( Drool , yn. The bill proposed maximum rates
rantf ; from $25 to $75 per annum , based
on p , ulation , the las > t named figures being
for till 3 ot 500,000 and over. The measure
was d bated In committee for a month or
wore RBI ! was talked to drath , receiving Its
qulctjj by an open vote last week. The
meas ra was endorsed by thousands of busi
ness m n and by all commercial bodies , but
their Influence was unable to cope with the
oggrc slve forces cf the lobby. Although
the b II was killed the agitation taught the
tclep1 no corporations a salutary lesson anil
InfiiE ' 1 new life and vigor Into the arteries
of y Tig rivals. To both agencies may bo
nttrlbiled the reduction of rates recently
put Into effect In western New York. The
old r ta of-$18 per annum Is now $30 , and
the r iJenco rate tumbled from $30 to $21.
CAMPLES OF CUT RATES.
To how what a fall in prices Is going on ,
ft for more cases may bo cited. In Fort
Scotl Kan. , where the Dell rate Is $48 , a
rival iompany Is making contracts for $12.
In me places the Hell organizations are
cvon offering telephone service free of
char , o. In Helvlderc , 111. , the Central Union
coniji ny ( Hell ) la trying to place new can-
tract ? at $18 per annum , with the first year's
norvl a free , In order that the new opposi
tion cimpany may be crippled. In Dubuque ,
la. , where several hundred business men
liave It Is said , signed contracts to use the
Harr'son ' company's telephone for flvo years ,
the 1 ell company , which has boon exacting
n ra'3 of $48 , threatens to furnish service
for rcthlng. The electrical Journals report
that ths Hell company's minimum rate In
FhllaJelphla has been reduced from $120 to
$50. The organization of a competing com
pany in Pensacola , Fla. , has caused the Dell
company to reduce Its rate there from $60 to
? 40. In Nllcs , 0. , competition has reduced
the annual charges from $50 to $18. At Ko-
Icomo , Ind. , the noli company has reduced
Its charges one-half , but a now company ,
which has 200 subscribers , promises to make
rates still lower. The old company In Em-
jiorla , Knn. , has made a concession of 25
per cent , but n now company recently organ
ized cltcrs much lower rates. The Wiscon
sin Telephone company ( Hell ) has deter
mined to reduce Its rates In all parts of the
stale ( Milwaukee oxceptcd ) by 25 per cent.
A reduction of 10 per cent la noted In Lock-
port , N. Y. The organization of now com-
potlui ? companies of local capitalists In Car-
bondals , Pa. ; Laporto. Ind. ; Staunton ,
Va. ; Sacramento , Cal. ; San Jose , Cal. ; Mo

Shrovcport , La. ; Dalton , Ga. ; Fort Wayne.
Ind. ; Canton , O. ; Petersburg , Va. , and Bal
timore , Md. , In reported. The Canton com
pany Is bound to mnko rates not more than
one- ! alt as high as the present rates of the
old company. The new organization In
Petersburg has fixed Its rate at $21 for busi
ness offices and $18 for residences. In Fort
Way no the new company starts with 700
cubs rlbcrs and a rate equal to one-half of
the old Dull rate.
The Harrison company already has ICO local
plant i In active operation. In Topeko , Kan. ,
the eld rates were $18 for business houses
nnd ? 3G for residences. The new local cx-
chans of the Harrison company made Its
rates $36 anil $24. Now the rates of the old
exchange In that city have been reduced by
the Missouri and Kansas company ( Hell ) to
324 and $18 , and this reduction has been met
by tin Harrison exchange. The Missouri and
Kancis company cutu Us rates 25 per cent
throughout Ita territory , except In Kansas
City i.nd St. Joseph. The Central Union com
pany ( Dell ) ts reducing rates throughout the
Etatc cf Ohio. A new company offers to fur
nish K lisas City with telephones at $36 for
busln 33 houses and $2i for residences , against
the Kill rate of $72 and $60 , respectively.
RIVALS MULTIPLYING.
The Harrison company Is the most active
com ] otltor of the Dell now In the field. Other
gigantic combinations of capital threaten to
beconio rival factors In the fight. The
Standard , If reports are reliable , will com-
rnnn-1 Eiifilclent resources to cope with the
Dell anywhere. It Is said to have the backIng -
Ing pf the Standard Oil company , the Sugar
trust , the Pullman company and the wealthy
Crocker Interests of California. The strong-
lioldi of the Dell for some time to como will
bo the largo cities , where It has acquired
. valuable franchises nnd exerts such power
that rivals will find It extremely difficult to
obtain a foothold. Franchises must bo ob
tained from city councils , and with the en
trenched corporation resisting a grant the
applicant will bo obliged to fight and flash
its roll from start to finish. Incidentally It
may bo eald the outlook Is roseate for alder
men.
men.THE
THE DELL'S UISE AND FALL.
It may be doubted If any single enterprise
has reached such gigantic proportions In a
dozen years as the Hell Telephone company.
It cannot be classed In the same category
with trusts , many of which surpass It in
capitalization. Trusts are combinations of
business already established. Tha Dell grow
from a patent , an original device , and repre-
eents a single Interest built from the ground
up. Its present proportions may be gath
ered 'rom the statistics presented at the
last annual meeting of the company In Iloi ,
ton. Up to Decembsr last 582,608 InstnimniU
were In use , a gain cf 16,015 over the pre
vious year , and a gain of 256,932 in ten
years. On the first day of January , 1895 ,
there were S67 exchanges , 572 branch olllcss
and S9G.674 miles of wlro In operation In
this country alone. Of this amount 232,003
miles of wlro were on poles , 14,525 on build
ings , 1.S36 submarine , and 1IS.2S5 under
ground. There was expended during the year
on extensions and apparatus the sum ot
$4.1S8,000. and the total Investment In tele
phone property In the United States Is given
ttt $77.600,000.
Tin high water mark of the company's
tiustnsss was reached In 1S93. Since then
there has been a marked decline In the re
ceipts. The first to cut Into Us Income was
the reduction In the rent paid by local ex
changes for the use of the transmitter from
JC to $1.80. which cost the company $1.000-
000. To show the amount and sources ot
the company's Income' for the past two
years the following table Is reproduced from

Tim ADVANCINQ TROLLEY.
The Irrepressible trolley continues pushing
Us way Into regions wherein steam has here
tofore held undisputed sway. All attempts
to check Its strides are lutllo. and tbo man
agers of steam roads , which have hitherto
enjoyed a profitable monopoly of suburban
trainc , are bowing as gracefully as possible
to the Inevitable. The New York , New
Haven & Hartford railroad , one of the east
ern roads most seriously menaced by par
allel trolley lines , sought to check their ad
vance by appealing to the Connecticut legis
lature. In an argument before that body
the general manager stated the receipts of
the company from travel between given
towns fell away from SO to 00 per cent , and
unless the legislature restricted the exten
sion ot trolley lines the company would
be forced into bankruptcy. The legislature
was not atfccted by the appeal and agreed
to consider applications lor trolley line
charters. Now the company proposes equip
ping Its local lines with trolley trains , and
will meet Us competitors lu their chosen
field.
field.The New York Central li taking time by
the forelock. It has made a scries ot ex
psrlmtnts , the result of which Is ths an
nouncement that It will equip Its IlufTalo-
Nlagara Falls line with trolley trains , the
power to be obtained from the Niagara Falls
plant. The belt line around Duftalo is to bo
operated In the same way. It Is said thai
within a year this company will transform
most ot Its local lines Into trolley roads
The contemplated changes will throw out o
employment a considerable number of train
hands , but there will bo a correipondlng In
crease In motormen and conductors , more
trains ' and a reduction In cost of transports
tlon.
tlon.Not
Not the least Instructive feature of thli
mighty Industrial revolution Is Its legal as
pect. The Pennsylvania supreme court , In a
recent decision , held In effect that , when
trolley roads extend beyond the boundary
of a town or city , they lose their charade
as street roads , while at the same time they
assume none of the functions and power ,
veiled In the ordinary steam roads.
PASSING OF THE HOUSE.
A prominent electric company has col
ected seme startling figures , which shov
ho almost Incalculable Influence of the In
reduction ot the electric car , taken merely
Hi Its one basis of replacing the horse for
ractlon purposes. It Is estimated that elec-
rlo cars hive already displaced 1.100.00C
.orses . , and this estimate Is manifestly fa
iclow the actual number. The feeding o
hese horses would entail the consumption o ;
00.000 bushels of corn or oats a day. Th
nlnials are now back on grass , and th
normous decrease In corn and oats con
umptlon caused by their withdrawal Is sut-
dent to appreciably affect the prlcc-s o
, heso grains. In round figures , It amounts
o 150,000,000 bushels a year. There Is an
ther view ot this subject , tha significance
t which will ba probably more apparent
'ew ' years hence than It Is even now. Th
oss of commercial demand for these coars
grains In the clt' s means an enormous de
rcase in the tonnage of the railroad frelgli
rafilc. This failure Is already put at
minimum , of 250,000 carloads. Hut It Is no
nly In public trafllc that the day of th
norse is waning. In son-o cities the elcc
rlc car lines have been so Judiciously dls
.rlbuted , and give such excellent service , tha
many private families have given up thel
: arrlage3 , and use the electric cars Instead
n many places the business of the livery
man Is practically ruined by the electric car ,
nd , as at Niagara Falls , the formerly arro
gant and extortionate hackman has beconi
a comparatively civil and temporizlntr Indl
Idual. The electric car and the blcycl
ave sounded the knell of the horse as
lommerclal factor.
IN CIVILIZED AFRICA.
Glimpses nt I.lfo la itmt About tlie Tonri
of JohaniKMburjr.
William Dooth , a former resident of Wy
imlng , furnishes the Laramle Doomerang a
nterestlng sketch of life In ths southern sec
ion of the Dark continent. Writing fron
ohannesburg , he says :
The natives are the greatest source of In
ercst to a foreigner In Africa. Their man
ner of living , habits and customs have bee
great source of Interest and study to m
since I have been in thl } country.
Tha first Eight that greets you at Cape
Town Is the negro. All the dock labor Is naIve -
Ivo labor. Not a white laborer Is to be seen
i\s scon as the steamer Is made fast to the
: andlng the negroes commence to load the
boat with coal , even before the passengers are
allowed to land they commence to fill the
boat with coal , which they carry on their
backs in bags , and they go In a continual
string , one- after another , Jabbering away In
their own language.
The majority of them wear nothing but a
coffee sack with holes cut for the head and
arms. This , the first sight of Africa , gives
you a very poor Impresson of the country ,
and coming up country from Capa Town to
Johannesbug the only sights that you see
worth mentioning are the native villages ,
Hocks of ostriches and herds of sheep and
goats. The only city of any size you pasa
through Is Hloomfontaln , the capital ot the
Orange Free SJate. Here you see hundreds
of natives , but as soon as you reach Johannes
burg you see them by the thousands , and the
natives here are the most ImlepenJcut people
In the world.
There are more natlve-s In and around
Johannesburg than there are whites.
This mine employes between 1S)0 ) and
2.COO. They are paid from 3 to f5 piT
month and "coff" furnished. Doard la called
"caft" in this country , but the company fur
nishes the natives only corn meal , That Is
what they live on. They areas a rule ,
healthy , and the majority of the men have
as line physiques as I have over seen. They
wear but very little clothing and nothing
on the head cr fe t. I will not try to de
scribe their clothing , for In most cases there
Is none to describe. They no\er come to the
mines to work except when they want to
buy a wife. They cannot get a wife unless
they buy one , and they can have aa many as
they want If they have money to buy them.
They are the only race ot people In the world ,
I think , who can work three months and
rest nine , and after they get a certan num
ber ot wives they never work. They have no
established currency. Their wealth consists of
live stock and poultry , and some of the-m are
well-to-do , and all of them have pi nty to
eat. Con that ba said of the white race ?
This brings me to the subject of foreign
missions to Africa. The employers of native
labor do not want a christianized nation.
Most every one would ask the reason why.
Simply because he Is no good to himself or
any one else > . Ninety per cent of the native
criminals of Africa are said to be natives
who have been christianized , I saw moro
actual poverty In traveling from Wyoming
to New York City than I have ever seen In
this country. All the poverty I have e-ver
seen In this country was among the whites
and not among the natives.
This govtrnmcnt U on the eve of having
war with a tribe called the Swazles , who are
a very warlike and barbarous trlbf. The
Portugueie are at war with a tribe on the
east coast , two days' travel from here by
rail , near the town of Laurenz , but the na
tives htro are like the American Indian ,
they will have to give way to the advance
ment of civilization , and I think the ad
vancement of civilization In this country
will accomplish more than all the Christian
missionaries who have been sent over here
or ever will be cent here.

REAL ESTATE FORECLOSURES
Argument Against Legality of Appraise
ments Based on Tempcraiy Value.
ORIGINAL VALUE THE TRUE CRITERION
Mortgagee Protected bj Tower to foreclose
t Two-Thirds of Heal Value Any Ho-
dnctton from Hnnl Times Vnlno
Would Ha Legalized Ilolilicry.
It Is a notorious fact tliat loan companies
require written applications for loans with
out any exceptions.
The ngent of the company and the ap
plicant agree upon the value ot the property
ffered as security , \\hlch ralue la to be
etermlned by too disinterested appraisers
ho are residents of the locality.
The company then In the duo course of
me offers to loan. 40 per cent of the valua-
on of the security. In many cases they
educe the amount because they feel that
m valuation Is a little too high. In every
are , however , there Is a common under-
landing , If not ati express agreement , of
definite valuation , ot the land which Is
'ar ' In excess ot the amount of the loan
made. The money advanced Is notoriously
nd universally loaned at not exceeding 40
ier cent of this agreed valuation.
Let us Inquire what arc the conditions of
ho mortgage securing this loan.
The agreement and conditions In a mort-
; aga are made In contemplation of exlst-
ng laws. It Is unnecessary to embody
ny condition In this contract , which Is
irovlded by law shall In every case be a
omlitlon.
These statutory conditions arc therefore
.list as prominent conditions of the mort
gage as It they wcro printed In the Instru-
uent. The mortgage Itself provides that
f the Interest Is not promptly paid when
lue and If the principal Is not paid at ma-
urlty the morgage deed shall become an
bsoluto deed.
The further conditions of every mortgage
; ontalncd In the statute and upon which
very mortgagee relies at tlmo of executing
his mortgage are that If default should be
made In the payment of the debt secured
hereby the mortgagee may nio a pe-
lllon , and upon proof of such do-
'nult ' cbtaln a decree for the sale of
; uch land. That In case of any misfortune
ho mortgagor might avail himself of a stay
tf nine months. If at the expiration , of this
line the debt cannot be paid the contract
ilso prlvldes that bcforo the sale can be
naile the land must bo appraised at its
real value not temporary value not Its Iran-
lent value but the language Is Its real
. alue. That value Is not meant to ba the
most money that could bo gotten out of It
ivlthtn a few months , because the statute
hews the negative ot this. The law pro-
Ides that after thirty days of the mott
.lubllc notice that could bo given , the land
must bs offered for sale at the most public
place In the county seat , and cannot be sold
tor less than two-thirds of Its real value ,
ivhlch Is stated to be the same as Its ap
praised value. In the light of this law U It
possible for a court to hold that land may
be appraised at merely what money can bo
realized from Its sale ?
THE LAW SPECIFIC.
How can that be true when the statutes
say that although the land Is publicly ad
vertised and sold at the highest price ob-
alnable the sale shall not bo confirmed un-
esa the amount bid shall ba at least two-
hlrds ot Its real value.
The mortgagor relied upon these conditions ,
jellcvlng that If ho could not pay his debt
at maturity ho might avail himself of a nine
months' stay , and believing' that at the ex
piration ot this time the mortgagee might
sell the property at not less than the enor
mous discount of 33V5 per cent upon its value
In order to ralso the money due ; or the mort
gagee might bid In the property and take it
at this discount , but not rob a man by tak
ing It below that price. That Is what It
shows. That Is the plain meaning of the
conditions of a mortgage , and every mort
gagor Is warranted In believing as I have
suggested.
How can a court conscientiously permit ap
praisers to value land at Just what It will
sell for In such a depressing season as the cue
through which we are passing , when the stat
ute provides that tne value shall not be based
upon what the property will eell for , and puts
the minimum price , which , of course , Is the
highest bid , at two-thirds ot the value of the
land offereJT Does the statute say at what
tlmo this value should be found as exist
ing ? No , It does not. Therefore I maintain
In the light of all reasoning and the- general
law of contracts that such value should be
determined , as It existed when the agreement
wan entered Into when the contract or mort
gage was made.
MORTGAGE A CONDITIONAL SALE.
The mortgage transaction being a'condi
tional sale , should be- treated as any other
conditional sale , with due respect for all of
the conditions therein contained. The conJl-
tlons are not "It the money cannot be paid
the grantea may take the property at Its
value , " but the conditions are "that If the
money cannot be paid the grantea may take
the- property at a discount of one-third Its
value. " This provision did not spring up for
the first tlmo when a petition to foreclose
waa filed , but It was a condition from the
mlnuto the mortgage was signed. The word
"value" used then was certainly In the pres
ent tense. It expressed an existing condition.
It It was meant to express a future condition
It would hcvo been necessary to have quali
fied the word "value" with another word era
a phrase. In conversation , If we speak of
the value of a piece of property , we mean
what It Is worth at the time wo are t'pealc-
Int , ' , and not what it might be worth In the
future , In case of a boom or In case we should
be successlvaly plagued with hot winds , grass
hoppers and hailstorms.
If the government should have Issued $500-
000,000 of bonds , payable In fifty years , it
would have been an agreement to pay the
article In the form known as a dollar at the
tlmo the agreement was made * , and not what
the nama "dollar" might signify at the ex
piration ot fifty years. At that time so ma
other name might be used to signify what the
nama dollar now signifies , and the
name "dollar" may be provided by
law to designate * bookmarks. Fifty
years from now the use ot gold and silver
0.3 money might be abandoned and tba most
wildcat paper imaginable bo adopted by the
government. If such bonds had been Is
sued and sold for value and the wildcat
money should ba substituted by law for
the present dollar , would not these shylocks -
locks rail against such acts ot repudiation ?
Would there pot be some cause tor protest
upon their part ? They would say we did
not understand that we were to take any
of your future dollars , but we gave you
value upon your promise to return dollars
of a substance and form described as a
dollar by the law at the tlmo we mads
our agreement.
So also I contend that the definition of
the word "value" used In the present tense
at the tlmo when the mortgage contract
was entered Into means to convey the sense
that It the mortgagor cannot pay "tho debt
In specie the mortgagee may sell the prop
erty to realize the money. The provision
to sell It , not merely for what It Is worth
and apply the money to the extinguishment
of the debt , but sell It even at a third less
than what It Is worth. The existing valiw
Is the only value meant by the word. Any
future value did not cxlat , and was not
known and should not have been spoken of
as In the present tons : ) . The value several
years hence was purely speculative a. fic
tion.
tion.The
The value meant Is most certainly that
which existed at the time the contract
was entered Into when the loan company
requires the borrower to make application
In writing wherein two disinterested ap
praisers fix the value under oath ; and when
the loan company accepts Uie application and
examines this appraisement and the land
lUelf to see that this value Is correct before
they advance the loan.
RFA'nusiNG Tun CASE.
When mortgages are made would the mort
gagors have consented to have sold their
mortgaged lands for merely the amount of
money borrowed upcn them ? Never. He-
cauie the property was worth moro. Would
the loan companies have loaned what they
did upon the security If they did not believe
the property to be worth jnore than the sum
advanced ? No. sir. Doth parties understood
and as explained expressly agreed upon an
ippralaed value , which wai accepted as satis
factory ; therefore that value must control.
The supreme court of this state has held
that the appraisement Is not jurlsdlctlonal
nnd also that It can be waived. Therefore I
maintain If the appraisement at the partic
ular time can be waived by not taking ad
vantage of It before the confirmation of sale
It can be waived by the .parties who make
the agreement , especially when the agree
ment upon what the real vfiluo. Is , at the time
of making the loan. Is found at that time.
Men can agree upon the full
value and consideration , tor the sale
ot real estate and make 'a valid sale
and transfer ot It. They can make a valid
agreement to sell nnd upen the future pay
ment of a certain agreed , valuation of such
land. So also can they agree In a mortgage
as to what should bo the lowest value n
mortgaged plcco of land could be sold for at I
the foreclosure , and obtain the enforcement .
ot such condition In an action to foreclose. !
In the same manner men can agree what
the real value of land mortgaged Is , and
that the sale upon foreclosure shall not be
loss than two-thirds ot this agreed value.
Such are the conditions partly agreed to and
partly provided by statute.
The only reason the value of real cst&te.
agreed upon at the time ot the execution of
the mortgage , can bo changed Is on account
of fraud , accident or mistake. I maintain
that our statute requires the mortgagee to
assume a part ot the hazard ot panics.
n fact , It operates as a check to the great '
multaneous scramble for money that often
tries results as disastrously to society as
scramble for exit Is ruinous for the occu-
ants of a burning theater. It Is the heavy
nd of the burden to compel the debtor to
ese one-third of the value ot his land in
rder to pay a debt contracted on the
trength ot certain existing values upon which
: iey both relied. Therefore , creditors In No-
raska during temporary depression should
a content to wait until a part of the money
1,1 Id follow creditors can bo earned back or
iorrowcd back ncaln to pay the rest , and
ot bo permitted to demand what the court
mist recognize cannot bo obtained to pay ,
r else compel the creditor to take the prop-
rty Itself at not less than a ruinous dls-
iount of 3314 per cent , which the debtor
must sacrifice because the money Is with-
eld.
eld.Henc
Henc ? the leg'slators made the wise p-c-
Islons that exist upon our statute and only
eed be * enforced to grant rel'ef to the
lumerous debtors of this state and absolute
ustlce to the creditors. The statute also
provides that If no one bid at , such a sale
nd the order of sale Is returned not sold for
kvant of bidders , at any subsequent time a
lew order of sale and appraisement can be
had. Search through the whole statute and
> -ou will not find a , single word , phrase or
lenience used to show that this subsequent
ippralsement should be at any less than the
'eal ' value.
INTENT OP THE LAW.
The natural presumption Is that Und should
n ordinary times sail at the enormous dis
count of a third of lts valce ; and If It does
not a mistake In the appraisement might
have ben made. Therefore , after the second
end advertisement , a new appraisement at
ts real value can bo had.
In many cases of uucontested foreclosures
n ordinary time we have setn the neces
sity of such a provision , but now , when lanl
s not sold for money In one case out ot
en , but simply taken at two-thirds ot the
average conscience ot the mortgagees , no
one could contend that the mortgagees who
are bidding ; In such property , even at prices
far below what was paid for the Improve
ments , are swindling themselves. Yet , It
hese mortgagees did not bid , but forcsd all
property to sell fcr money , how low would
the modern appraisers estimate the value of
property ? ,
This Is a very simple question upon the
construction of a contract , upon th& mean-
ng of certain sentences of the English lan
guage. No matter how Intricate the law
may sometimes be , the law of this class of
cases Is to carry out the meaning of the
mortgage contracts.
I submit that a fair and just Interpretation
of these conditions were that the value meant
s that value existing at the time the mort
gage was rrade ; that when that value la
fixed by the mortgagor and mortgagee at the
line the mortgage was made no appraise
ment Is necessary ; ' and that upon .such
showing the courts should not confirm any
sale for Isss than two-thirds of such agreed
or existing value. '
Some may contend that although the con
tract means as Interpreted the law of pre
cedent should not bo violated. I maintain
that we have no precedent for these out
rageous practices ot low appraisements In
modern foreclosures. In normal times land
; ias generally been abcut the same value at
both the date and maturity of mortgage
debts , and has always sold at more than two-
hlrds of Its real or appraised value , and
mora than two-thirds of its value at the
date or maturity of the mortgage debt. It
ias never been necessary to raise this ques
tion before , and the courts have no pre
cedent whatever but the one they are at this
noment making , which , In the name of jus
tice , should be stopped before It can become
respsctable solely by the white hairs of age.
Th ? history of all progress Is the. breaking
of unjust precedents. Precedent should not
be a perpetual bar when riper judgment
knocks at the door of justice.
JOHN O. YEISER.
FEMININE GOSSIP.
An Ingenious bride has evolved a happy
scheme for keeping her husband true to the
piotestatlons ot his wooing. The engage
ment was a long one , the love letters ex
changed legion.
With the envelopes of these letters she
has papered their rooms , and finished the
unique decorative scheme with a frieze o !
ink-stained blotting paper.
No man could. In the face of such nvldenco
of eternal devotion , bo such a monster &s to
get Into a rage because his divinity had
paid $30 for a bonnet , or Invited her mother
to spend the winter with them.
How could he scold about the butcher's
bill , cr be sulky even If she did give his
winter flannels to the old-clothes man , or
put her poodle to sleep In his Sundiy hat , or
cried because he stayed at the club and for
got to come In until midnight , as In his
bachelor days ?
The Joy ot the latter day girl of Inde
pendent typo Is her ability to travel alone or
with companions cf her own age and sex
without an approach to an unpleasant ad
venture r.r an unfavorable comment. Not a
few girl bachelors of limited Incomes look
forward to their annual Jaunt to Europe
with no less assurance and often far greater
pleasure than their luxurious society slbter.i
IJy a little forethought and management $150
may bo made to pay all the expenses of a
six weeks' vacation on foreign shores. In
cluding passage both ways.
Of course , traveling about cannot be In
dulged in , but the. girl tonrlst'may go to one
of the charming Scotch or Irish lakes , or If
she prefers , to London or , Parjs , and , which
ever she chooses , be made thoroughly comfort
able for her money. To begin with she must
not expect to sail on on * of the fashionable
"llnera" unless she goes 'secohJ ' class , which
Is repellant to her sentiment. however desira
ble It may be otherwise ? Butt there Is a line
of freight transportation I'teamers which are
prepared to accommodate a few passengers ,
and excellently prepared , too. The state
rooms are much larger than on the regular
big passenger steanrshlps , and the table Is
good enough for anybody. The round trip
ticket Is only $70. This leaves $80 for the
sojourn.
N'ne d It F4 a week so , s3y thc J who krow
by experience will provide i > girl traveler
with excellent boird and 'lodging * In a thor
oughly respectable neighborhood , and she will
have $20 margin for cab tares , laundry work ,
etc.
The vexed question , whether beauties make
good wives , deserves a word of notice. Whlla
great personal attractions do not , as a rule ,
tend to ollmulate the purely domestic side of
the character , there are to many Instances of
pretty women becoming models of wifely per
fection that It would be obviously unjust to
Insist upon too close a connection between
good looks and bad household management.
Still , a girl accustomed to the deference and
adulation which beauty everywhere commands
la liable to find the dutle-s of family life some
what Irksome , If not actually distasteful ,
mora especially If the means of her husband
forbid and deprive her of those opportunities
of social success to which , perhaps , she has
been accustomed.

THE COST OF WARS.
Tlmt of Jnpnn anil Uhlut a Unsls of Tutoro
Calculation.
A retired army officer In New York has
collected Important data on the cost of
modern wars , and makes some Instructive
comparisons with the cost of the Japan-
China war now drawing to a close.
Accepting the obtainable figures of cx-
per.EH and losses on both sides as approx-
mately correct , he has arrived at the- con
clusion that in modern warfare there Is a
steady decrease In the number of men killed
n proportion to those engaged , and a very
argo Increase In the money cost to the na-
.lons invclvcd. Assuming that Japan will
exact a largo Indemnity from China as the
price of peace , the total cost of the war to
the two nations Involved vrlll be larger In
proportion la the number of men actually
Migaged In hostilities than that of any other
war of ancient or modern times , while , If the
cabled reporto of the loss of life are any
where near conect , the numbar killed in pro
portion to those who went Into battles will bo
much smaller.
The struggle between Japan and China Is
the tenth important war In thirty years , and
when peace has been conclu-Jcd It Is probable
that all the European powers will study the
cost and result very carefully as a basis for
calculation In the future. According to the
most reliable figures obtainable , the wars of
the past thirty-five years , not counting tha
present struggle m the far east , cost 2,250-
000 lives and the enormous sum. ot $11,000-
OOJ.OOO In money. This estimate of the cost
does not take Into account the damage to
commerce and other private losses , but only
the sums pild out by the varlouo nations In
volved In maintaining armies and navies and
raying Indemnities.
The Italian war ot 1S50 Is not at this late
date ranked as very much of a struggle , yet
It cost $300,000,000. The Crimean war was
the bloodiest struggle ot modern times , and
also n very expensive one. Very few battl& <
were fought , but the total loss of life. countIng -
Ing all those who died of wounds or sickness ,
aj well as those killed In battle , was 750,000 ,
or only 50,000 less than the loss of life on
bath sides during the war ot the rebellion.
The cost In money ot the struggle was $2,000-
000.000.
The Franco-Prussian war cost France the
enormous sum of $3,500,000.000. The French
armies loot In killed and deaths from other
causes , 155.000 men , while their sick and
wounded numbered 477,421. During the same
struggle the Germans , according to their own
reccnU , lost CO.OOO men on the field and In
tilt- hospitals , while the money expended ex
ceeded by $600,000,000 the Indemnity ot $1.-
003.000,000 paid by France.
During the Uusso-Turklsh war 250,000 men
were killed In battle or died of wounds or
sickness. JuJgcJ by modern standards , how-
eve.1 , It wau a cheap war. It cost only $123.-
000,000. The war between Prussia and
Austria In ISCfl cost $330OuO,000 and 45,000
llve.s.
The Servo-Bulgarian war cost $170,000.000 ;
the Afghan war $18,250,000. and the South
African wars $8,770,000. There are no ac
curate records ot the total number ot lives
lost In these struggles , but the number killed
was less In proportion than In most of the
other modern wars.
It ocst the United States $5,100,000,000 to
put down the rebellion , and the southern
states spent $2,300,000.000 In the hopeless
struggle for a separate government. Tha
lives lost on both sides foot up the enormous
total of 00,000 , counting or estimating the
deaths from all causes.
These figures of the cost of wars show
only the money expended by the various na
tions while war was actually In progress and
the indemnities paid afterward. They do not
Include the cost of maintaining standing
armies , building navies or any other expense
Incurred In time of peace In preparing for
war. If the cost of standing armies and
navies , fortifications and all the other ex
penses ot preparation were Included the ag
gregate ot the cost of the wars of the past
thirty-five years would probably be doubled.

JAILED DOWN THE BELT
Competitive Rivals Secure a Connection and Do Some Effective Talking.
THE TUMBLE IN TELEPHONE RATES
An effect of Trolley Innovation, Their Effect on Building Industry FOR SALE! Plane of the Industrial Revolution Plugging of the Home.
The expiration of fundamental patents, the decision of the circuit court in the Darlington case, and the more recent decision of the Supreme Court in the Bates case have removed several vital props from under the Bell Telephone company, and the result is already manifest in a revision of rates in general, and a radical reduction in many cities.
A few weeks ago, a partial reduction was announced in Omaha and connected cities, coupled with the cheering information that the revised rates were granted by the parent company at the urgent request of the local justice. There is little doubt that company was prompted by the reduction, which is but a scant fraction of the cut in rates which the Bell company has inaugurated in other cities where competing companies have secured or are seeking business concessions from Municipal authorities.
An effort was made in the New York legislature to pass a bill fixing maximum rates for telephone service throughout the state. When the bill was introduced, the average rates ranged from $18 in towns up to $31 and $200 in New York City and Brooklyn. The bill proposed maximum rates granting from $25 to $75 per annum, based on population, the last named figures being for over 500,000 and over. The measure was debated in committee for a month or more, and was talked to death, receiving its quietus by an open vote last week. The measure was endorsed by thousands of business men and by all commercial bodies, but their influence was unable to cope with the organized forces of the lobby. Although the bill was killed, the agitation taught the telephone corporations a salutary lesson and infused new life and vigor into the arteries of rivals. To both agencies may be attributed the reduction of rates recently put into effect in western New York. The old rate of $18 per annum is now $30, and the residence rate tumbled from $30 to $21.
SAMPLES OF CUT RATES.
To show what a fall in prices is going on, here are more cases that may be cited. In Fort Scott, Kan., where the Bell rate is $48, a rival company is making contracts for $12. In some places, the Bell organizations are even offering telephone service free of charge. In Belleville, Ill., the Central Union company (Bell) is trying to place new contracts at $18 per annum, with the first year's service free, in order to cripple the new opposition company. In Dubuque, Iowa, where several hundred business men have it is said, signed contracts to use the Harrison company's telephone for five years, the Bell company, which has been exacting rates of $48, threatens to furnish service for competing. The electrical journals report that the Bell company's minimum rate in Philadelphia has been reduced from $120 to $50. The organization of a competing company in Pensacola, Fla., has caused the Bell company to reduce its rate there from $60 to $40. In Niles, O., competition has reduced the annual charges from $50 to $18. At Rochester, Ind., the Bell company has reduced its charges one-half, but a new company, which has 200 subscribers, promises to make rates still lower. The old company in Emporia, Kan., has made a concession of 25 percent, but a new company recently organized offers much lower rates. The Wisconsin Telephone company (Bell) has determined to reduce its rates in all parts of the state (Milwaukee excepted) by 25 percent. A reduction of 10 percent is noted in Lockport, N.Y. The organization of new competing companies of local capitalists in Carbonolis, Pa.; Laporte, Ind.; Staunton, Va.; Sacramento, Cal.; San Jose, Cal.; Mobile, Ala.; Tampa, Fla.; Elkton, N.C.; Shreveport, La.; Dalton, Ga.; Fort Wayne, Ind.; Canton, O.; Petersburg, Va.; Baltimore, Md., is reported. The Canton company is bound to make rates not more than one-half as high as the present rates of the old company. The new organization in Petersburg has fixed its rate at $21 for business offices and $18 for residences. In Fort Wayne, the new company starts with 700 subscribers and a rate equal to one-half of the old Bell rate.
The Harrison company already has 100 local plants in active operation. In Topeka, Kan., the old rates were $18 for business houses and $36 for residences. The new local exchanges of the Harrison company made its rates $36 and $24. Now the rates of the old exchange in that city have been reduced by the Missouri and Kansas company (Bell) to $24 and $18, and this reduction has been met by the Harrison exchange. The Missouri and Kansas company cut its rates 25 percent throughout its territory, except in Kansas City and St. Joseph. The Central Union company (Bell) is reducing rates throughout the State of Ohio. A new company offers to furnish Kansas City with telephones at $36 for business houses and $24 for residences, against the Bell rate of $72 and $60, respectively.
RIVALS MULTIPLYING.
The Harrison company is the most active competitor of the Bell now in the field. Other gigantic combinations of capital threaten to become rival factors in the fight. The Standard, if reports are reliable, will commence with sufficient resources to cope with the Bell anywhere. It is said to have the backing of the Standard Oil company, the Sugar trust, the Pullman company, and the wealthy Crocker interests of California. The strongholds of the Bell for some time to come will be the large cities, where it has acquired valuable franchises and exerts such power that rivals will find it extremely difficult to obtain a foothold. Franchises must be obtained from city councils, and with the entrenched corporation resisting a grant, the applicant will be obliged to fight and flash its roll from start to finish. Incidentally, it may be said the outlook is roseate for aldermen.
THE USE AND FALL OF THE BELL.
It may be doubted if any single enterprise has reached such gigantic proportions in a dozen years as the Bell Telephone company. It cannot be classed in the same category with trusts, many of which surpass it in capitalization. Trusts are combinations of businesses already established. The Bell grew from a patent, an original device, and represents a single interest built from the ground up. Its present proportions may be gathered from the statistics presented at the last annual meeting of the company in Boston. Up to December last, 582,608 instruments were in use, a gain of 16,015 over the previous year, and a gain of 256,932 in ten years. On the first day of January, 1895, there were 567 exchanges, 572 branch offices, and 968,674 miles of wire in operation in this country alone. Of this amount, 232,003 miles of wire were on poles, 14,525 on buildings, 13,636 submarine, and 18,825 underground. There was expended during the year on extensions and apparatus the sum of $4,188,000, and the total investment in telephone property in the United States is given at $77,600,000.
The high water mark of the company's trust was reached in 1893. Since then there has been a marked decline in the receipts. The first to cut into its income was the reduction in the rent paid by local exchanges for the use of the transmitter from $1.80 to $1.50, which cost the company $1,000,000. To show the amount and sources of the company's income for the past two years, the following table is reproduced from the Western Electrician:
1883. $5,513,711
1884. 1,824,431
1885. 10,876
1886. 64,096
1887. 68,797
1888. 11,034
1889. 3,775,610; 818,612
1890. 1,855,571; 7,000
1891. 3,193,853; 3,791,730
"The Bell company's greed," says the New York Times, "has overreached itself. If that organization had been content with the large income which reasonable rents for its instruments and reasonable rates for service would have yielded upon the investments of the local exchange as well as its own; if it had not pursued an elaborating policy of high-handed exaction with respect to both the public and the local companies, and if it had done fairly with the people in its relations with the patent office, it could now meet competition with confidence. Indeed, it is probable that formidable competition would not have appeared, and that the original organization would have been permitted to remain in practically undisturbed possession of the field."
The ADVANCING TROLLEY.
The irrepressible trolley continues pushing its way into regions wherein steam has hitherto enjoyed undisputed sway. All attempts to check its strides are futile, and the managers of steam roads, which have hitherto enjoyed a profitable monopoly of suburban traffic, are bowing as gracefully as possible to the inevitable. The New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, one of the eastern roads most seriously menaced by parallel trolley lines, sought to check their advance by appealing to the Connecticut legislature. In an argument before that body, the general manager stated that the receipts of the company from travel between given towns fell away from 80 to 60 percent, and unless the legislature restricted the extension of trolley lines, the company would be forced into bankruptcy. The legislature was not affected by the appeal and agreed to consider applications for trolley line charters. Now the company proposes equipping its local lines with trolley trains, and will meet its competitors in their chosen field.
The New York Central is taking time by the forelock. It has made a series of experiments, the result of which is the announcement that it will equip its Buffalo-Niagara Falls line with trolley trains, the power to be obtained from the Niagara Falls plant. The belt line around Buffalo is to be operated in the same way. It is said that within a year this company will transform most of its local lines into trolley roads. The contemplated changes will throw out of employment a considerable number of train hands, but there will be a corresponding increase in motormen and conductors, more trains, and a reduction in the cost of transportation.
Not the least instructive feature of this mighty industrial revolution is its legal aspect. The Pennsylvania supreme court, in a recent decision, held in effect that, when trolley roads extend beyond the boundary of a town or city, they lose their character as street roads, while at the same time they assume none of the functions or power, vested in the ordinary steam roads.
PASSING OF THE HORSE.
A prominent electric company has collected some startling figures, which show the almost incalculable influence of the introduction of the electric car, taken merely as one basis of replacing the horse for traction purposes. It is estimated that electric cars have already displaced 1,000,000 horses, and this estimate is manifestly far below the actual number. The feeding of these horses would entail the consumption of 60,000,000 bushels of corn or oats a day. The millions are now back on grass, and the enormous decrease in corn and oats consumption caused by their withdrawal is sufficient to appreciably affect the prices of these grains. In round figures, it amounts to 150,000,000 bushels a year. There is another view of this subject, the significance of which will be probably more apparent a few years hence than it is even now. The loss of commercial demand for these coarse grains in the city means an enormous decrease in the tonnage of the railroad freight traffic. This failure is already put at a minimum, of 250,000 carloads. But it is not only in public traffic that the day of the horse is waning. In some cities, the electric car lines have been so judiciously distributed, and give such excellent service, that many private families have given up their carriage, and use the electric cars instead. In many places, the business of the liveryman is practically ruined by the electric car, and, as at Niagara Falls, the formerly arrogant and extortionate hackman has become a comparatively civil and temporizing individual. The electric car and the bicycle have sounded the knell of the horse as a commercial factor.
IN CIVILIZED AFRICA.
Glimpses of Life as It Is Lived About the Town of Johannesburg.
William Dooth, a former resident of Wyoming, furnishes the Laramie Dome a fascinating sketch of life in the southern section of the Dark continent. Writing from Johannesburg, he says:
The natives are the greatest source of interest to a foreigner in Africa. Their manner of living, habits and customs have been a great source of interest and study to me since I have been in this country.
The first sight that greets you at Cape Town is the negro. All the dock labor is negro labor. Not a white laborer is to be seen as soon as the steamer is made fast to the wharf the negroes commence to load the boat with coal, even before the passengers are allowed to land they commence to fill the boat with coal, which they carry on their backs in bags, and they go in a continual string, one-after-another, jabbering away in their own language.
The majority of them wear nothing but a coffee sack with holes cut for the head and arms. This, the first sight of Africa, gives you a very poor impression of the country, and coming up country from Cape Town to Johannesburg the only sights that you see worth mentioning are the native villages, herds of ostriches, and herds of sheep and goats. The only city of any size you pass through is Bloemfontein, the capital of the Orange Free State. Here you see hundreds of natives, but as soon as you reach Johannesburg you see them by the thousands, and the natives here are the most independent people in the world.
There are more natives in and around Johannesburg than there are whites. This mine employs between 1,800 and 2,000. They are paid from 3 to 5 pounds per month and "coff" furnished. Board is called "cafe" in this country, but the company furnishes the natives only cornmeal. That is what they live on. They are, as a rule, healthy, and the majority of the men have as fine physiques as I have ever seen. They wear but very little clothing and nothing on the head or feet. I will not try to describe their clothing, for in most cases there is none to describe. They never come to the mines to work except when they want to buy a wife. They cannot get a wife unless they buy one, and they can have as many as they want if they have money to buy them.
They are the only race of people in the world, I think, who can work three months and rest nine, and after they get a certain number of wives they never work. They have no established currency. Their wealth consists of live stock and poultry, and some of them are well-to-do, and all of them have plenty to eat. Can that be said of the white race? This brings me to the subject of foreign missions to Africa. The employers of native labor do not want a Christianized nation. Most everyone would ask the reason why. Simply because he is no good to himself or anyone else. Ninety percent of the native criminals of Africa are said to be natives who have been Christianized. I saw more actual poverty in traveling from Wyoming to New York City than I have ever seen in this country. All the poverty I have ever seen in this country was among the whites and not among the natives.
This government is on the eve of having war with a tribe called the Swazis, who are a very warlike and barbarous tribe. The Portuguese are at war with a tribe on the east coast, two days' travel from here by rail, near the town of Lorenzo, but the natives here are like the American Indian, they will have to give way to the advancement of civilization, and I think the advancement of civilization in this country will accomplish more than all the Christian missionaries who have been sent over here or ever will be sent here.
Plot kills her stepdaughter.
PEREY, Okla., May 1, Mrs. Zob Larson, wife of a prominent and wealthy farmer at Stillwater, Okla., shot and killed her stepdaughter, Mrs. MacHenry. The women quarreled Tuesday and the daughter left the house. When she returned she was met at the door by Mrs. Larson, who told her if she came in she would kill her. Mrs. MacHenry turned around to leave, but Mrs. Larson mistook her motion and thought she was entering the door. She shot her just above the heart. Mrs. Larson gave herself up. There is some talk of mob law.
REAL ESTATE FORECLOSURES
Argument Against Legality of Appraisals Based on Temporary Value.
ORIGINAL VALUE THE TRUE CRITERION
Mortgagee Protected by Power to foreclose at Two-Thirds of Real Value Any Abduction from Honorable Times Value Would Be Legalized Robbery.
It is a notorious fact that loan companies require written applications for loans without any exceptions. The agent of the company and the applicant agree upon the value of the property offered as security, which value is to be determined by the disinterested appraisers who are residents of the locality. The company then in the due course of time offers to loan 40 percent of the value of the security. In many cases they reduce the amount because they feel that the valuation is a little too high. In every case, however, there is a common understanding, if not an express agreement, of a definite valuation, of the land which is par in excess of the amount of the loan made. The money advanced is notoriously and universally loaned at not exceeding 40 percent of this agreed valuation.
Let us inquire what are the conditions of the mortgage securing this loan.
The agreement and conditions in a mortgage are made in contemplation of existing laws. It is unnecessary to embody any condition in this contract, which is provided by law shall in every case be a provision.
These statutory conditions are therefore as prominent conditions of the mortgage as if they were printed in the instrument. The mortgage itself provides that if the interest is not promptly paid when due and if the principal is not paid at maturity the mortgage deed shall become an absolute deed.
The further conditions of every mortgage are contained in the statute and upon which every mortgagee relies at time of executing his mortgage are that if default should be made in the payment of the debt secured hereby the mortgagee may make a petition, and upon proof of such default a decree for the sale of such land. That in case of any misfortune the mortgagor might avail himself of a stay of nine months. If at the expiration of this time the debt cannot be paid, the contract also provides that before the sale can be made the land must be appraised at its real value not temporary value not its present value but the language is its real value. That value is not meant to be the most money that could be gotten out of it within a few months, because the statute shows the negative of this. The law provides that after thirty days of the most public notice that could be given, the land must be offered for sale at the most public place in the county seat, and cannot be sold for less than two-thirds of its real value, which is stated to be the same as its appraised value. In the light of this law, is it possible for a court to hold that land may be appraised at merely what money can be realized from its sale?
THE LAW SPECIFIC.
How can that be true when the statutes say that although the land is publicly advertised and sold at the highest price obtainable the sale shall not be confirmed unless the amount bid shall be at least two-thirds of its real value.
The mortgagor relied upon these conditions, believing that if he could not pay his debt at maturity he might avail himself of a nine months' stay, and believing that at the expiration of this time the mortgagee might sell the property at not less than the enormous discount of 33 1/3 percent upon its value in order to raise the money due; or the mortgagee might bid in the property and take it at this discount, but not rob a man by taking it below that price. That is what it shows. That is the plain meaning of the conditions of a mortgage, and every mortgagor is warranted in believing as I have suggested.
How can a court conscientiously permit appraisers to value land at just what it will sell for in such a depressing season as the one through which we are passing, when the statute provides that the value shall not be based upon what the property will sell for, and puts the minimum price, which, of course, is the highest bid, at two-thirds of the value of the land offered? Does the statute say at what time this value should be found as existing? No, it does not. Therefore, I maintain in the light of all reasoning and the general law of contracts that such value should be determined, as it existed when the agreement was entered into when the contract or mortgage was made.
MORTGAGE A CONDITIONAL SALE.
The mortgage transaction being a conditional sale, should be treated as any other conditional sale, with due respect for all of the conditions therein contained. The conditions are not "if the money cannot be paid the grantee may take the property at its value," but the conditions are "that if the money cannot be paid the grantee may take the property at a discount of one-third its value." This provision did not spring up for the first time when a petition to foreclose was filed, but it was a condition from the minute the mortgage was signed. The word "value" used then was certainly in the present tense. It expressed an existing condition. It would have been necessary to have qualified the word "value" with another word or a phrase. In conversation, if we speak of the value of a piece of property, we mean what it is worth at the time we are speaking, and not what it might be worth in the future, in case of a boom or in case we should be successfully plagued with hot winds, grasshoppers, and hailstorms.
If the government should have issued $500,000,000 of bonds, payable in fifty years, it would have been an agreement to pay the article in the form known as a dollar at the time the agreement was made, and not what the name "dollar" might signify at the expiration of fifty years. At that time, some other name might be used to signify what the name dollar now signifies, and the name "dollar" may be provided by law to designate bookmarks. Fifty years from now the use of gold and silver as money might be abandoned and the most wildcat paper imaginable be adopted by the government. If such bonds had been issued and sold for value and the wildcat money should be substituted by law for the present dollar, would not these mortgage holders rail against such acts of repudiation? Would there not be some cause for protest upon their part? They would say we did not understand that we were to take any of your future dollars, but we gave you value upon your promise to return dollars of a substance and form described as a dollar by the law at the time we made our agreement.
So also I contend that the definition of the word "value" used in the present tense at the time when the mortgage contract was entered into means to convey the sense that if the mortgagor cannot pay the debt in specie, the mortgagee may sell the property to realize the money. The provision to sell it, not merely for what it is worth and apply the money to the extinguishment of the debt, but sell it even at a third less than what it is worth. The existing value is the only value meant by the word. Any future value did not exist, and was not known and should not have been spoken of as in the present tense. The value several years hence was purely speculative and a fiction.
The value meant is most certainly that which existed at the time the contract was entered into when the loan company requires the borrower to make application in writing wherein two disinterested appraisers fix the value under oath; and when the loan company accepts the application and examines this appraisement and the land itself to see that this value is correct before they advance the loan.
When mortgages are made, would the mortgagors have consented to have sold their mortgaged lands for merely the amount of money borrowed upon them? Never. Because the property was worth more. Would the loan companies have loaned what they did upon the security if they did not believe the property to be worth more than the sum advanced? No, sir. Both parties understood and as explained expressly agreed upon an appraised value, which was accepted as satisfactory; therefore that value must control.
The supreme court of this state has held that the appraisement is not jurisdictional and also that it can be waived. Therefore, I maintain that if the appraisement at the particular time can be waived by not taking advantage of it before the confirmation of sale, it can be waived by the parties who make the agreement, especially when the agreement upon what the real value is, at the time of making the loan. Men can agree upon the full value and consideration for the sale of real estate and make a valid sale and transfer of it. They can make a valid agreement to sell and upon the future payment of a certain agreed, valuation of such land. So also can they agree in a mortgage as to what should be the lowest value a mortgaged piece of land could be sold for at the foreclosure, and obtain the enforcement of such condition in an action to foreclose.
In the same manner men can agree what the real value of land mortgaged is, and that the sale upon foreclosure shall not be less than two-thirds of this agreed value. Such are the conditions partly agreed to and partly provided by statute.
The only reason the value of real estate agreed upon at the time of the execution of the mortgage, can be changed is on account of fraud, accident, or mistake. I maintain that our statute requires the mortgagee to assume a part of the hazard of panics. In fact, it operates as a check to the great simultaneous scramble for money that often tries results as disastrously to society as scramble for exit is ruinous for the occupants of a burning theater. It is the heavy hand of the burden to compel the debtor to sell one-third of the value of his land in order to pay a debt contracted on the strength of certain existing values upon which they both relied. Therefore, creditors in Nebraska during temporary depression should be content to wait until a part of the money can be earned back or borrowed back again to pay the rest, and not be permitted to demand what the court must recognize cannot be obtained to pay, or else compel the creditor to take the property itself at not less than a ruinous discount of 2½ percent, which the debtor must sacrifice because the money is witheld.
Therefore, the legislators made the wise provisions that exist upon our statute and only need be enforced to grant relief to the numerous debtors of this state and absolute justice to the creditors. The statute also provides that if no one bids at such a sale and the order of sale is returned not sold for want of bidders, at any subsequent time a new order of sale and appraisement can be had. Search through the whole statute and you will not find a single word, phrase, or leniency used to show that this subsequent appraisement should be at any less than the real value.
The natural presumption is that land should in ordinary times sell at the enormous discount of a third of its value; and if it does not a mistake in the appraisement might have been made. Therefore, after the second and advertisement, a new appraisement at its real value can be had.
In many cases of uncontested foreclosures in ordinary time we have seen the necessity of such a provision, but now, when land is not sold for money in one case out of ten, but simply taken at two-thirds of the average conscience of the mortgagees, no one could contend that the mortgagees who are bidding in such property, even at prices far below what was paid for the improvements, are swindling themselves. Yet, if these mortgagees did not bid, but forced all property to sell for money, how low would the modern appraisers estimate the value of property?
This is a very simple question upon the construction of a contract, upon the meaning of certain sentences of the English language. No matter how intricate the law may sometimes be, the law of this class of cases is to carry out the meaning of the mortgage contracts.
I submit that a fair and just interpretation of these conditions were that the value meant that value existing at the time the mortgage was made; that when that value is fixed by the mortgagor and mortgagee at the time the mortgage was made no appraisal is necessary; and that upon such showing the courts should not confirm any sale for less than two-thirds of such agreed or existing value.
Some may contend that although the contract means as interpreted the law of precedent should not be violated. I maintain that we have no precedent for these outrageous practices of low appraisements in modern foreclosures. In normal times land has generally been about the same value at both the date and maturity of mortgage debts, and has always sold at more than two-thirds of its real or appraised value, and more than two-thirds of its value at the date or maturity of the mortgage debt. It has never been necessary to raise this question before, and the courts have no precedent whatever but the one they are at this moment making, which, in the name of justice, should be stopped before it can become respectable solely by the white hairs of age.
The history of all progress is the breaking of unjust precedents. Precedent should not be a perpetual bar when wiser judgment knocks at the door of justice.
JOHN O. YEISER.
FEMININE GOSSIP.
An Ingenious bride has evolved a happy scheme for keeping her husband true to the protestations of his wooing. The engagement was a long one, the love letters exchanged legion.
With the envelopes of these letters she has papered their rooms, and finished the unique decorative scheme with a frieze of ink-stained blotting paper.
No man could, in the face of such evidence of eternal devotion, be such a monster as to get into a rage because his divinity had paid $30 for a bonnet, or invited her mother to spend the winter with them.
How could he scold about the butcher's bill, be sulky even if she did give his winter flannels to the old-clothes man, or put her poodle to sleep in his Sunday hat, or cried because he stayed at the club and forgot to come in until midnight, as in his bachelor days?
The joy of the latter-day girl of independent type is her ability to travel alone or with companions of her own age and sex without an approach to an unpleasant adventure or an unfavorable comment. Not a few girl bachelors of limited incomes look forward to their annual jaunt to Europe with no less assurance and often far greater pleasure than their luxurious society sisters.
By a little forethought and management $150 may be made to pay all the expenses of a six weeks' vacation on foreign shores, including passage both ways.
Of course, traveling about cannot be indulged in, but the girl tourist may go to one of the charming Scottish or Irish lakes, or if she prefers, to London or Paris, and, whichever she chooses, be made thoroughly comfortable for her money. To begin with, she must not expect to sail on one of the fashionable liners unless she goes second class, which is repulsive to her sentiment, however desirable it may be otherwise. But there is a line of freight transportation steamers which are prepared to accommodate a few passengers, and excellently prepared, too. The staterooms are much larger than on the regular big passenger steamships, and the table is good enough for anybody. The round trip ticket is only $70. This leaves $80 for the sojourn.
One day, after a week so, said the man who knows by experience will provide a girl traveler with excellent boarding and lodging in a thoroughly respectable neighborhood, and she will have $20 margin for cab fares, laundry work, etc.
The vexed question, whether beauties make good wives, deserves a word of notice. While great personal attractions do not, as a rule, tend to oilulate the purely domestic side of the character, there are too many instances of pretty women becoming models of wifely perfection that it would be obviously unjust to insist upon too close a connection between good looks and bad household management. Still, a girl accustomed to the deference and adulation which beauty everywhere commands is liable to find the duties of family life somewhat irksome, if not actually distasteful, more especially if the means of her husband forbid and deprive her of those opportunities of social success to which, perhaps, she has been accustomed.
The audiences of the Swami Vivekananda, the handsome young Hindu whose visit to the authoress, Kato Sanborn, is so amusingly described in her book, "Abandoning an Adopted Farm," and who is just now giving a course of lectures in New York, are composed largely of women. The lectures, on such serious subjects as "The Destinies of the Soul," "Our Isolations with the Departed," and "The Religions of India," are delivered in native costume, consisting of a long, brilliant orange garment tied about the waist with a red sash. A striped silk turban is knotted about the head of the speaker, who, with his clear skin, about as dark as that of an Italian, and his large, lustrous, black eyes, looks like some exotic bird of brilliant plumage, and many of the ladies who listen to his lectures feel openly admire and flatter him, as if he were a phenomenon of phenomenally handsome and precocious child. Others hang upon his words with the most obvious reverence and awe. How all this strikes the young Orissan philosopher is a matter of conjecture, since he is a pattern of discretion in his behavior, and is impartially courteous to all.
If it doesn't go home to India with what is vulgarly known as a "swelled head" and a higher opinion even than that of Max Schuster of American women, it will be because his head is singularly level.
Mr. Healey, the artist, was a man of excellent tact, as shown by the following incident: A young woman one day came to his studio with her face so covered with paint and powder that every characteristic line was obliterated. He was, of course, in a dilemma. He could not order the girl to go and wash her face; he would lose his commission, and he was too polite a gentleman. He could not lay the same paint on canvas that there was on her face; it would not be satisfactory to the family.
When the sketch was lined in, he rose from his seat, sat down beside his subject and kindly asked her if she was feeling as well as usual. Surprised, of course, she replied that she was.
"Out, Miss J., you walked from your hotel, did you not?"
"Yes."
"And you came hurriedly up stairs without stopping to rest?"
"Why, yes, of course."
"Ah, yes, Miss J., but, you see, though you may not be feverish, you have exerted yourself to severely that there is so much color in your face that I fear it would mislead me. Now, tomorrow, if you would be so good, please bathe your cheeks in cool water the last thing, come in a close carriage, and stop and rest yourself upon the couch you will find on each landing. If you do that, I am sure we shall have no more trouble."
The faint flush on her cheek when she came the next day was perfectly natural, and did not at all retard the picture.
I am impressed, said a woman recently, "with the fact that a taste for and facility at card playing, cultivated early in life, is a valuable possession and resource against the monotony of my father and mother, after busy lives, the one at his office, the other looking after a large family, never found leisure or inclination to become interested in any games of cards. Now, in an empty house from which every son and daughter has gone, except for temporary visits from time to time at the old homestead, they pass their days in peaceful but often lonely and monotonous quiet. Heading palls after awhile, and I have wished again and again that they had the resource of cards. I have tried to interest them in cribbage, backgammon or casino, but find that they have no liking for any games, having passed the responsive years. One enjoys cards as one is skillful at the games played with them. If I had children, I should see that they learned to play cards, and in particular became adepts in several varieties of solitaire, than which nothing, to my mind, is more restful or diverting."
The latest buttons to be worn in the front box-pleat of shirt waists, like studs, are of white enamel, imitating piqué, covered with tiny colored dots, pink, blue, red, black, etc. Pale yellow chiffon and bands and cascades of jet are used as trimming on several beautiful imported brown crepon gowns. The chiffon is put on in front in Fedora effect and the jet falls over it.
The newest cotton shirt waists have the high, two-button turnover collar, generally of a color contrasting with the waist portion. Light green and brown, pink and lavender are some of the favored combinations of color.
The spangle craze is as universal as ever, and now that spangles and paillettes can be bought by the pound, it is tolerably certain that they have reached the height of their favor. Still, they are not likely to pass out of fashion for a season or two to come.
THE COST OF WARS.
That of Japan and Russia a study of modern calculation.
A retired army officer in New York has collected important data on the cost of modern wars, and makes some instructive comparisons with the cost of the Japan-China war now drawing to a close.
Accepting the available figures of casualties and losses on both sides as approximately correct, he has arrived at the conclusion that in modern warfare there is a steady decrease in the number of men killed in proportion to those engaged, and a very large increase in the money cost to the nations involved. Assuming that Japan will exact a large indemnity from China as the price of peace, the total cost of the war to the two nations involved will be larger in proportion to the number of men actually engaged in hostilities than that of any other war of ancient or modern times, while, if the cabled reports of the loss of life are anywhere near correct, the number killed in proportion to those who went into battles will be much smaller.
The struggle between Japan and China is the tenth important war in thirty years, and when peace has been concluded, it is probable that all the European powers will study the cost and result very carefully as a basis for calculation in the future. According to the most reliable figures obtainable, the wars of the past thirty-five years, not counting the present struggle in the far east, cost 2,250,000 lives and the enormous sum of $11,000,000,000 in money. This estimate of the cost does not take into account the damage to commerce and other private losses, but only the sums paid out by the various nations involved in maintaining armies and navies and paying indemnities.
The Italian war of 1859 is not at this late date ranked as very much of a struggle, yet it cost $300,000,000. The Crimean war was the bloodiest struggle of modern times, and also a very expensive one. Very few battles were fought, but the total loss of life, counting all those who died of wounds or sickness, as well as those killed in battle, was 750,000, or only 50,000 less than the loss of life on both sides during the war of the rebellion. The cost in money of the struggle was $2,000,000,000.
The Franco-Prussian war cost France the enormous sum of $3,500,000,000. The French armies lost in killed and deaths from other causes, 155,000 men, while their sick and wounded numbered 477,421. During the same struggle, the Germans, according to their own records, lost 30,000 men on the field and in their hospitals, while the money expended exceeded by $600,000,000 the indemnity of $1,003,000,000 paid by France.
During the Russo-Turkish war, 250,000 men were killed in battle or died of wounds or sickness. According to modern standards, however, it was a cheap war. It cost only $123,000,000. The war between Prussia and Austria in 1866 cost $330,000,000 and 45,000 lives.
The Servo-Bulgarian war cost $170,000,000; the Afghan war $18,250,000; and the South African wars $8,770,000. There are no accurate records of the total number of lives lost in these struggles, but the number killed was less in proportion than in most of the other modern wars.
It cost the United States $5,100,000,000 to put down the rebellion, and the southern states spent $2,300,000,000 in the hopeless struggle for a separate government. The lives lost on both sides foot up the enormous total of 900,000, counting or estimating the deaths from all causes.
These figures of the cost of wars show only the money expended by the various nations while war was actually in progress and the indemnities paid afterward. They do not include the cost of maintaining standing armies, building navies or any other expense incurred in time of peace in preparing for war. If the cost of standing armies and navies, fortifications and all the other expenses of preparation were included, the aggregate of the cost of the wars of the past thirty-five years would probably be doubled.

Throughout the city there was a feeling
of helplessness , not unmixed with exaspera
tion. To sec that balloon up there , placidly
iwaylng to and fro , to know that within a
few hours It might release Its frightful bur-
Con , to feel the uncertainty of where the In
evitable explosion would occur ; beyond all ,
lo realize tiiat every Instant brought the
catastrophe nearer , was maddening. Where
were nil the electricians and the engineers
nnd the chemists and the inventors gener
ally. Was It possible that the much-boasted
national Ingenuity had recoiled , conquered
nnd humiliated before such a problem as
this ? So talked the angry people In the
streets.
Meanwhile the nowa of the peril of the
metropolis had spread ever the country , and ,
singular to say , Its principal effect upon the
suburban population was a burning desire to
Witness tlio big explosion , as It could do them
no harm. Consequently , the Phlladclphlans ,
nnd the New Havenltcs , and the Albanians ,
besides the dwellers In other nearby towns ,
flocked In nicat cohoits Into New York.
They came In on the morning trains with
their children nnd their lunch baskets , and
bivouacked In hordes In the uptown streets ,
Just outside the police cordon which now In
closed the circle swept by the balloon. They
pre-empted the stoops of private residences ,
nte their meals thereon , and rang the door
bells at Intervals to demand Ice water or
the loan of a cup of milk. One man from
Now Jersey brought some carpenters nnd
tried to erect a "grand stand" In the neigh
? i borhood of Central park , but he was mobbed
by the neighborhood before he had sold
enough scats to make the enterprise re
munerative. Another person drove a thrlv-1
Ing business In selling pieces of smoked
glass wherewith to look at the balloon ; which
p the farmers bought Instinctively. The peri
patetic telescope men fairly coined money.
This had not gone on long , when heavy
rain clouds began to gather In the west , nnd
then a new fear arose. Would the storm
hasten the falling of the dynamite ? Suppose
the balloon should be struck by lightning !
Meanwhile the urgent appeals which had
been sent out by the mayor to nil the scien
tific people had resulted In an Imposing gath
ering of professors In the Forty-fourth street
boarding house. Each having answered the
call under the Implicit conviction that nil
the others had been summoned for the ex
press purpose of hearing his particular views
on the matter In hand , an air of reserved
dignity nnd gratified condescension pervaded
the company ns It followed his honor up the
creaky stairs , and into the attic room where
the safe was located ,
"I need not say to you , gentlemen , " said
the mayor , tersely , "why you are here. You
perceive the danger. Can It bo averted ?
Suggestions are In order prompt nnd sharp ,
please. "
No answer was returned , although several
scientists looked disconcerted and were seen
to replace In their pocketbooks sundry
bulky manuscripts.

Interview with the superintendent , the police
had burned with a mediaeval dealre to ex

claimed to possess , by the prompt Infliction
of any reasonable variety of torture. Carried
away by the enthusiasm of the moment , the
police captain In whose care ho was placed
conceived the brilliant notion of sending him ,
In charge of two stalwart patrolmen , to be

around. Hut the designated guardians
promptly rcbeled when Julius pointed out to
them that they would be Just as liable to de-

own volition to repair to th ? threatened locali

and locked him up until some less objection

Julius was deep In a lurid biography of

the captain entered the room , snapped the
nippers around his wrist , gave him his hat

was not communicative , and Julius asked no

LINCOLN'S SECOND INAUGURAL.
Nonh llrooka OcHcribca the Scenes unit In-

Noah Brooks , who Is publishing a series of
personal reminiscences of Lincoln In the
Century , describes the second Inauguration
In the April number of that magazine :
The day of Lincoln's second Inauguration ,
March 4 , 1865 , was as dark and drizzly as
the November day of his second election.
When the hour of noon arrived great crowds
cf men and women streamed around ths
capltol building In most wretched plight. The
mud In the city of Washington on that day
certainly excelled all the other varieties 1
have ever seen , before or since , and the
greatest ttst of feminine heroism the spoil-
ng of their clothes was amply to the credll
the women who wers sa bedragg'ed and
drenched on that memorable day. The onlj
entrance to the senate wing , where the pre
liminary ceremonies were held , was by the
main or eastern portico , the other entrances
being used only by privileged persons.
Colonel Korney. the secretary of the senate
read the proclamation of the president con
voking an extra session , and called the names
of the members elect. Thereupon the newlj
chosen senators were sworn In , nnd the pro
cession for the inauguration platform , whlcl :
had been built on the east front of the capl-
tel , was formed. There was a sea of heads it
the great plaza In front of the capltol as
far as the eye cculd reach , and breaking Ir
waves along Its outer edges among the bud'
ding foliage of the grounds beyond. Whet
the president and the procession of notables
appeared , a tramendous shout , prolonged am
loud , arose from the surging ocean of human
Ity around the capltol building. Then th <
sergeant-at-arms of the senate , the historic

of largo paper. As ho advanced from hli
seat , a roar of applause shook the air , and
again and ngaln repeated , finally died fai
away on the out r fringe of the throng , llki
a sweeping wave upon the shore. Just at tha
moment the sun , which had been obscurei
all day , burst forth In Its unclouded merldlai
splendor , and flooded the spectacle with glor ;
and with light. Every heart beat quicker a"
the unexpected omen , and doubtless not a fev
mentally prayed that so might the darkneji
which had obscured the past four years bi
now dissipated by the sun of prosperity ,
Till ilnnger's troubled night depart

The Inaugural address was received wit !
almost profound silence. Every word wa :
ckar and audible as the somewhat shrill am
ringing tones of Lincoln's voice sounded eve ;
the vaht concourse. There was applause
however , at the words , "both parties depre
cated war , but one of them would make wa ;
rather than let the nation survive , and th
ether would accept war rather than let I
perish ; " and the cheer that followed thesi
wordj lasted long enough to make a con
slderable pause before he added sententlously
"and the war came. " There were occasion
ally epurtu cf applause , too , at other point
along this wonderful address.

one could tee moist eyes , and even twrfu

time , doubtless there are none more fomll ;
cherished by those who were so fortunat

represents surgery proper. Dr. Edson Is bet

position not only eminent In New York , bu
almost unique In all the world of medicine
No two men are better qualified to prc
diet the future of medicine as a whole thai
these.
A MEDICAL WONDER.
According to Dr. Edson's Idea the ne\
diphtheria cure Is perhaps the most impor
tant Invention of the age. He considers tha
It * Is the wedge which will open a vast stor
house of now scientific truths , and he think
that , these truths will perhaps prove to b
more Important than any others of those w
have to learn.
"It Is my opinion , " said he , "that th
greatest of the new discoveries will com
along the line of antl-toxlnes. Toxlno mean
poison , nnJ antl-toxlne , therefore , means slm
ply an antidote to poison. Two Europeai
scientists discovered that the human systen
Instead of submitting metkly to the Inroad
of diphtheria until a doctor comes along t
brace It up and help It fight , combats th
disease long and powerfully of Itself. A
soon as the dlphthcretlo poison gains a foot
hold In the human body the system develop
a property which nets as the direct foe of th
deadly germ. In many cases this propert ;
would be of Itself enough to vanquish th
illsease , even should not the doctor assls
it with his medicine. These are the mil
cases. But so virulent Is this partlcula
poison and so strong must be this resistan
force that the human system can not develo
a large enough quantity of It to overcom
the severer attacks , and to this Is due th
largo proportion of deaths from the partlc
ular disease under discussion. It Is true
however , that no artificial remedy ever prc
pared Is so well fitted to resist diphtheria a

This was the gist of the first Importan
point which the French scientists laid ban
They found that the disease of dlphtherl
was In reality the presence of a partlcula
poleon In the system and that nature * ha
a method of resisting It. They found tha

They saw at once that If they could find
way to develop the antl-toxtne artificially an
then to Introduce It Into the system lu larg

They knew that the anthtoxlne could only t

would only bring It forth whe-n the presenc
of the toxlno demanded It. They then ret
scned that If they should Introduce the toxlr

antl-toxlne to offset It , and that If she did
In man she would probably do It In oth <
animals. This they found to be true. The
reasoning was simple and direct , and It hs
proved to have been absolutely accurate , n
Infecting animals with diphtheria In a .mil
form the Frenchmen found that an ant
toxlne was produced , which could be draw

able that there are In the world today mo :
than 2,000 horses which are kept In a constai
state of dlphtheretlc Infection for the purpi
of developing the fluid which kills the dlseas

NATURE'S REMEDIES.
"It Is along this line of the developmei
of nature's remedies that I believe the grea
eat advance In medicine will come. We sha
slowly cast aside our poor artificial druj
and take God's own cures. Then wo sha
have vanquished disease. "
"What particular disease , Dr. Edson , i
you believe will soonest be done away wll
through antl-toxlne- llko treatments ? "
asked.
"All communicable diseases will eventual
bo cured In this way , " he answered. '
in.in by communicable diseases all dlseasi
which can bo transmitted from one perse
to another person or from Inanimate thlni
to human beings. That classification cove ;
a largo proportion of mankind's worst on
mles. Some disorders , such as paralys
and rheumatism , heart disease , neuralgl
etc. , will not yield to this kind of treatmen
but I am confident that science will fir
other ways to baffle them. The dlseasi
which will most readily yield to antl-toxli
treatment and for which I am certain
means of developing the antl-toxlne may I
discovered are typhoid , yellow , scarlet ai
typhus fevers , cholera and perhaps evi
pneumonia.
"U will , I am sure , amaze you whfn
tell you that something after the fashion
an antl-toxlne for consumption already exist
and Is being effectively used throughout E- -
rope. Koch's lymph Is , In a sense , an ant

"I should explain that It Is a toxlne also-
that Is , that while It combats thepoleon
tuberculosis. It Is Itself a poison of dead
power. Its introduction Into any tyste

frcm the diphtheria cure , which , should
not cure , still could not kill. I wlih to sta
here that the stories ct 111 effects' xeaultli
from the us * of propTly prepared diphtheria
antl-UxIne are without fiumlatt n.
KOCH S LYMl'H.
"It seems to be the general Impression In
the public mind that Koch's lymph for the
cure of consumption was only a nine days'
wonder ; that It wag Investigated by physl-
clans and found wanting , nnd that It has
now been dropped. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. Koch's lymph Is n genuine
remedy. It will not do all that Keen thought
It would , but It will do much. In simple
cases of tuberculosis that Is , In cases where
the lunps are Infect'd by the tubercle bac
illus alone Koch' lymph cures. Most con
sumption casec , however , are compound , and
In such the lymph Is not effective. In Eu
rope It has been found , however , that many
compound cases can be reducsd to simple
cases through climatic treatment that Is ,
through change of aliv-and that then they
become amenable to the lymph. No-t scores ,
but hundreds , of cures have been brought
about by this method In Europe.
'Antl-toxlnes already exist for hydropho
bia and for tetanus , or lockjaw. Hydro
phobia , ns of coursa everyone knows , Is the
result of Infection through the bite of n
rabid animal. Pasteur's great discovery was
nothing more or less than that of an antl-
toxlne for this Infection. He cures his pa
tients by Inoculating them with the serum
developed In the blood of animals by hydro
phobia Itsslf. Tetanus or lockjaw Is one of
the most extraordinary diseases to which
flesh Is heir. As many people do not know ,
lockjaw can only come through Infection
with a fcrm which can be bred nowhere
except In the earth. It Is peculiar to cer
tain localities. There are parts of the world
in which It Is not known at all , nnd there
are other parts In which It Is a very com
mon thing. There are probably more cases
of lockjaw on the extreme eastern end of
Long Island than there are In any other
equal area on earth , and there Is n portion
of the New Jersey coast where the disease
is amazingly frequent. This Is probably
due to the use of a peculiar kind of fish fer
tilizer. The tetanus antl-toxlne works abso
lute cures. "
"Can you tell me , Dr. Edson , what ex
periments are now being made looking to
ward the development of new antl-toxlne ? "
I risked.
"Not with any degree of accuracy , " he re
plied. "Experimenters arc so afraid that
some rival will steal their Ideas and rewards
that they are very chary about giving hints
of what they are nt work on. Investigations
are , however , going on In hundreds of labora
tories in Europe and America. I expect the
announcement of four or flvo Important dis
coveries within the year , and I believe this
ratio will be kept up for many years to come.
So much faith have I In the future develop
ment of antl-toxlne that I do not hesitate testate
state that In my opinion the hypodermic syr
inge .will be the most Important Instrument
ot medicine In the years to come.
IMPORTANT REMEDIES IN PROSPECT.
"I do not wish to slur the Importance of
other lines of medical Investigation and dis
covery , however. Ranking not far behind the
antl-toxlnes In importance come the new syn
thetic remedies. Of these antl-pyrlne , fenaca-
tine , and a dozen others , might be mentioned.
Science has discovered that organic substances
can bo decomposed and their different ele
ments entirely separated from each other.
These synthetic remedies consist of new
combinations of these separated ele
ments. For instance , quinine. The
first of the Important remedies was orig
inally drawn wholly from the bark of the
chlncona tree. The supply thus obtained
was email and expensive. Quinine , when an
alyzed , was found , to contain twenty parts of
carbonic acid gas , twenty-four parts of hy
drogen , twenty parts of nitrogen , twenty
parts of oxygen and three parts of water.
These various elements had been found In
many organic bodies , but of course they were
without medicinal value until they had been
separated from all other elements nnd re-
comblned with themselves. Some brilliant
mind saw that this could be done by using
coal tar as the derivative , and since then
quinine has become cheap , but not less
effective , The use of the bark of the chln
cona has been abandoned. Had we been
forced to depand entirely upon the natural
source for our supply of quinine we should
have been unable to have met the demand.
The same Is true of many other remedies.
Salacylllc acid , oncj derived wholly from the
willow tree , can now be manufactured In un.
limited quantities and very Inexpensively
from coal tar. Wintergreen , the active
principle of \\Intergrcen plant , Is now
made artificially from methol alcohol. It h
probable that In the course of time all the
alkaloids will bo obtained by similar arti
ficial means. This will greatly reduce their
cost without reducing their usefulness , and
will be another great advance for medicine. "
"What other recent discoveries would you
class among those which are likely to be of
great Importance In the future ? " I asked.
POWER OF ANIMAL EXTRACTS.
"No discovery has been made which Is not
of Importance and which Is not likely to
grow In Importance. Brown-Sequard so-
called elixir has coma to bo a byword with
the comic papers and Is regarded as a scien
tific Joke by most laymen. This Is a great
mistake. Although Urown-Sequard expected
and claimed more than he could carry out.
he still had found a new and wonderful thing.
He had discovered that animal extracts haJ
a vitalizing effect on human beings. Thus
the extracts of nn animal's brains or the ex
tracts of an animal's spine was found to have
a stimulating effect upon the cerobro-splnal
system of a human being. Following his
discovery revcral animal extracts have been
developed with which I am not familiar , but
which I am told have aepompllsheJ beneficial
rtsulte.
"Another great possibility lies In the blood
Itself. The blood Is made up of two kinds
of corpuscles , white and red. A Russlar
named Metschlkoff several years ago dis
covered that the white corpuscles were the
scavengers of the human system. When a
disease enters the blood It Is the white cor
puscles that resist It. They act In the arter-
leu In a way wonderfully similar to thai
. In which an army acts on the field of battle ,
They array themrelves against the disease
germs , kill them nnd carry them off. The
only reason why any disease can possibly b ;
fatal Is that there are not enough whlto cor
puscles to kill and carry away Us germs
We have not as yet discovered any way ol
developing them at will , but I think this
knowledge will come. When It does anothei
vast advance will have been made. If as
soon as the germs of a disease begin to at
tack the red corpuscles , we can summer
enough of the whlto corpuscles to divert the
attack and overcome It wo shall have con
quered the disease.
STIMULANT THAT ONE MAY ENJOY.
"One Immensely Important bit of knowledgi
has recently been derived from the plani
world , The Kola nut has long been used b )
the natives of the countries In which It growi
as a mild stimulant. They have eaten mud
as certain Asiatics eat the betel nut. Sclen
tide Investigation has proved lately that thi
Kola Is oneof the most important remedla
agencies In the reach of medicine. Its ex
tract stimulates In a way that no other dru {
can , and it Is free from the dangerous prop
ertlcs of other drugs. It does not enslave oni
who uses It , as chloral or cocaine or mor
phme. It ( Imply stimulates , and creates m
craving. Its effect Is no less than marvelous
Recently during certain experiments , an o'.i
man , weak , powerless and sick , who was a
first wholly unable to ralso from thegroum
a weight of 160 pounds , not only raised I
with ease , but carried It without dlscomfor
, - for a trlle and a half after the Kola extrac
I had been administered to him. "
As I have intimated , Dr. Shrady gives mor
attcntlcn to surgery proper than ho does t <
medlclnce proper. Ho believes that In It th
greatest future possibilities lie.
"Tho developments which may be expects
from the surgery of the brain alone , " h
said , "will be so great as to practically worl
a revolution In the science of cure. I expect
pe-ct , for Instance , that within ten years i
large proportion of the cases of paralysis no\
considered Incurable will be brought dlstlnc 1 ;
within the realm of curable diseases. It ha
already been discovered that each muscle c
the body Is controlled by certal :
ncrvo centers In the brain. The lo
cation of many of these nerve center
' has been definitely determined. It ls known
f for Instance , that pressure on a certain par
of the brain will develop paralysis of th
right leg , that pressure on a certain othe
part of the brain will develop paralysis o
the left leg , and so on , throughout the body
Many cases of paralysis are known to b
duo to such pressure , and this pressure 1
oftenest caused by the presence of clots o
i blcod. Thus by brain surgery by the re
t moval of these blood clots that partlcula
s kind of paralysis may be cured ,
t A CURE FOR CANCER.
"Almost as much progress has been mad
IQ Ibe lurgery el tfco Intestines , Organl
disorders of the kidneys ml liver are being
cured now with Increasing frequency by the
use of the knife , and wo know
thnt we are only nt the threshold
of this work. I nm convinced that cancer
will bo overcome by surgery as soon us people
ple learn the neiifjslty at treating It hi the
early stages of Us development. Another
Important advance In the study of cancers
and like growths Is thnt which tins taught
us thnt the sterilized poison of erysipelas will
do wonderful things toward checking the
progress of the disease. A case recently
nine to my attention In a Nenv , York hospl-
al. The patient suffered from n tumor of
he hip which could not have been removed
> y the knife without practically cutting him
n two. Sterilized erysipelas poison was In-
ected Into the affected part of his body nnd
ils life was saved In spite of what were iip-
> arontly overwhelming odds.
"The possibilities of the surgeon' ! ) knife
arc almost beyond belief , In fact. Wo can
now operate upon ilmast every part of n
nan's body except his heart and lungs nnd 1
am not at all certain that operations on the
tings will always be Impossible. In fact , 1
am Inclined to think that the knife wll !
eventually play an Important part In the
rcatment of consumption.
"I do not mean to Intimate , however , thai
he only advance may be locked for nlonp
surgical lines. Wonderful things have ( level-
opd In the bacteriological field the micro
scope Is adding every day to the sum of oui
tnowledge.
"But greatest of all , perhaps. In Its future
usefulness , Is our icreaslng knowledge of the
aws of heredity. It Is coming to bi tru ? thai
: ho prrpetuutlon of certain diseases , such ai
nsanlty and consumption , by the Intermar

To see that balloon up there, placidly wafting to and fro, to know that within a few hours it might release its frightful burden, to feel the uncertainty of where the inevitable explosion would occur; beyond all, to realize that every instant brought the catastrophe nearer, was maddening. Where were all the electricians and the engineers and the chemists and the inventors generally. Was it possible that the much-boasted national ingenuity had recoiled, conquered, and humiliated before such a problem as this? So talked the angry people in the streets.
Meanwhile, the news of the peril of the metropolis had spread across the country, and, singularly enough, its principal effect upon the suburban population was a burning desire to witness the big explosion, as it could do them no harm. Consequently, the Philadelphians, and the New Havens, and the Albanians, besides the dwellers in other nearby towns, flocked in neat cohorts into New York. They came in on the morning trains with their children and their lunch baskets, and bivouacked in hordes in the uptown streets, just outside the police cordon which now enclosed the circle swept by the balloon. They pre-empted the stoops of private residences, ate their meals thereon, and rang the door bells at intervals to demand ice water or the loan of a cup of milk. One man from New Jersey brought some carpenters and tried to erect a "grandstand" in the neighborhood of Central Park, but he was mobbed by the neighborhood before he had sold enough seats to make the enterprise remunerative. Another person drove a thriving business in selling pieces of smoked glass with which to look at the balloon; which the farmers bought instinctively. The pathetic telescope men fairly coined money.
This had not gone on long, when heavy rain clouds began to gather in the west, and then a new fear arose. Would the storm hasten the falling of the dynamite? Suppose the balloon should be struck by lightning? Meanwhile, the urgent appeals which had been sent out by the mayor to all the scientific people had resulted in an imposing gathering of professors in the Forty-fourth street boarding house. Each having answered the call under the implicit conviction that all the others had been summoned for the express purpose of hearing his particular views on the matter in hand, an air of reserved dignity and gratified condescension pervaded the company as it followed his honor up the creaky stairs, and into the attic room where the safe was located.
"I need not say to you, gentlemen," said the mayor, tersely, "why you are here. You perceive the danger. Can it be averted? Suggestions are in order, prompt and sharp, please."
No answer was returned, although several scientists looked disconcerted and were seen to replace in their pocketbooks sundry bulky manuscripts.
"I would suggest," said one professor, rising ponderously and looking over his spectacles, "that we cause the safe door to be opened and the voltage of the generator therein determined, and"
"'The slightest attempt to open the safe door will blow up a torpedo within,' " read the mayor from the notice over the safe. The professor sat down abruptly.
"Mr. Mayor! Mr. Mayor!" suddenly remarked a small and somewhat jittery individual. "Let us construct another balloon, let it tie up on the cable and carry someone who will remove the dynamite."
"'If the pitcher standing is in any wise tampered with, the pitcher will certainly fall,' " again read the mayor, in a weary tone of voice. "At the same time, professor, if you will agree to go up and try"
"No, sir; no, sir; quite impossible; life is too valuable to the cause of science. No, sir," said the chorus of coughs and moans which greeted this last remark ceased when a third person rose and proposed to cut the cable, the advantages of which plan he was about to argue when it was pointed out that nothing would more certainly break the current and thus cause the dropping of the torpedo.
Then the electricians got at it in earnest. One wanted to hitch on a second battery and reverse the current, a proceeding certain to disorganize the electromagnet mechanism in the balloon and release the pitcher. Another wanted to splice on a great length of cable and let the balloon float over some other place to do its mischief; but this, leaving out the ethical question involved, would, of course, put in more resistance in the path of the current and perhaps render it too weak to hold up the real balloon. Another wanted to fire bullets at the pitcher and cause the explosion in mid-air, but it was pointed out that they would be much more likely to hit the balloon and let the gas out.
"I did not ask your attendance, gentlemen," said the mayor somewhat earnestly, "to devise means for dropping that torpedo. The balloon will do that of itself (started as he glanced at his watch) in about five hours. We cannot risk failure. Can none of you suggest any certain means of relief?"
The scientists breathed heavily, but said nothing. They could see the balloon, now reddish with the reflected rays of the setting sun, poised over the great cathedral. The threatened storm had passed over, leaving however, the breeze steady. The chance now was that the torpedo would do a fearful work in the fairest portion of the metropolis. From this locality, the police, now reinforced by the militia, had driven the people toward the rivers. The danger line had been drawn from Fifty-ninth Street to Madison Square. It was a strange sight to see Fifth Avenue, above Twenty-third Street, deserted as far as the eye could reach; the gentle swaying globe being the only moving object in the long perspective.
Outside the danger lines, the people clustered on the house tops like bees.
The scientists, still silent, looked at the mayor with dismayed faces. The mayor grimly looked back at the scientists.
"And this is all?" said the mayor.
Several of the younger scientists pressed uneasily in their seats. One of them went to the safe, passed his hands helplessly over the exterior, sighed, and sat down. Another gazed fixedly at the balloon; another became deeply interested in the surface of the twin cable.
Meanwhile, there had come into the room two other men who had seated themselves beside the mayor. The official turned to them and whispered something. They nodded promptly.
"I will not detain you further, gentlemen," said the mayor to the scientists. "I thank you for your assistance, I can only regret that the circumstances make it unavailing. The philosophers solemnly walked out of the room, and maintained silence until they reached the street. There they would soon have embarked in a heated discussion had not the police on guard (mustered on their immediate repair beyond the danger lines).
One of the two men beside the mayor appended his name to a check for $100,000. His signature would have been honored for 500 times that sum. The torpedo would fall directly on his roof. The other impressed a stamp on the face of the check and dashed a quick scrawl over it. The Chemical Bank of New York had now guaranteed its payment. The mayor put it in his pocketbook with a sigh of disappointment, and his visitors withdrew.
The man called Julius sat in the captain's room in the Thirtieth Street police station calmly smoking and reading the latest extra evening newspaper. If the populace had known where he was, he would probably have also listened, though with equal imperturbability, to the howls of a raging mob in the street outside. But that information had been carefully withheld even from the reporters, and consequently the street, being within the danger district, so far from being the scene of an incipient riot, was entirely deserted save by the policemen on guard. Since his interview with the superintendent, the police had burned with a medieval deal to extract from Julius the knowledge which he claimed to possess, by the prompt infliction of any reasonable variety of torture. Carried away by the enthusiasm of the moment, the police captain in whose care he was placed conceived the brilliant notion of sending him, in charge of two stalwart patrolmen, to be kept directly under the balloon as it moved around. But the designated guardians promptly rebelled when Julius pointed out to them that they would be just as liable to destruction as himself; and as he declined, of his own volition, to repair to the threatened localities alone, the captain reconsidered the project and locked him up until some less objectionable plan could be matured.
Julius was deep in a lurid biography of himself (where he learned, for the first time, that he was a Russian exile of anarchistic antecedents, and that his personal appearance was truly represented by a worn-out woodcut of Mr. Chauncey Depew, duly decorated with bushy hair and a straggling beard), when the captain entered the room, snapped the nippers around his wrist, gave him his hat, and told him to "come along!" The captain was not communicative, and Julius asked no questions, so the pair proceeded in silence through the deserted streets to the Forty-fourth Street boarding house, and up to the attic room.

LINCOLN'S SECOND INAUGURAL.
Noah Brooks, who is publishing a series of personal reminiscences of Lincoln in the Century, describes the second Inauguration in the April number of that magazine:
The day of Lincoln's second Inauguration, March 4, 1865, was as dark and drizzly as the November day of his second election. When the hour of noon arrived, great crowds of men and women streamed around the Capitol building in most wretched plight. The mud in the city of Washington on that day certainly excelled all the other varieties I have ever seen, before or since, and the greatest test of feminine heroism was the spoiling of their clothes. The women who wore so bedraggled and drenched on that memorable day were, without a doubt, the bravest of the brave. The only entrance to the senate wing, where the preliminary ceremonies were held, was by the main or eastern portico, the other entrances being used only by privileged persons.
Colonel Cornuel, the secretary of the senate, read the proclamation of the president convoking an extra session, and called the names of the members elect. Thereupon, the newly chosen senators were sworn in, and the procession for the inauguration platform, which had been built on the east front of the Capitol, was formed. There was a sea of heads as far as the eye could reach, and breaking in waves along its outer edges among the budding foliage of the grounds beyond. When the president and the procession of notables appeared, a tremendous shout, prolonged and loud, arose from the surging ocean of human life around the Capitol building. Then the sergeant-at-arms of the senate, the historic Brown, arose and bowed, with his shining black hat in hand, in dumb show before the crowd, which thereupon became still, and Abraham Lincoln, rising tall and gaunt among the groups about him, stepped forward and read his Inaugural address, which was printed in two broad columns upon a single page of large paper. As he advanced from his seat, a roar of applause shook the air, and again and again repeated, finally died away on the outer fringe of the throng, like a sweeping wave upon the shore. Just at that moment, the sun, which had been obscured all day, burst forth in its unclouded meridian splendor, and flooded the spectacle with glory and with light. Every heart beat quicker at the unexpected omen, and doubtless not a few mentally prayed that so might the darkness which had obscured the past four years be now dissipated by the sun of prosperity, till Anger's troubled night depart and the star of peace return.
The Inaugural address was received with almost profound silence. Every word was clear and audible as the somewhat shrill and ringing tones of Lincoln's voice sounded even to the vast concourse. There was applause, however, at the words, "both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish;" and the cheer that followed these words lasted long enough to make a considerable pause before he added sentimentally "and the war came." There were occasionally bursts of applause, too, at other points along this wonderful address.
Looking down into the faces of the people illuminated by the bright rays of the sun, one could see moist eyes, and even troubled cheeks, as the good president pronounced these noble words: "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we have begun; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphans; to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations." Among the memories of a lifetime, doubtless there are none more fully cherished by those who were so fortunate as to stand near Lincoln at that historic moment, than the recollection of the beautiful solemnity, the tender sympathy of these inspired utterances, and the rapt attention of the thronging multitude.
THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE
Famous Physicians Predict the Discovery of Marvelous Cures.
ANTITOXIN OPENS UP A NEW FIELD
The Knife Will Play a Important Part in the Science of Cure and Provision
Learning how to cure Duches to Prevent Outbreaks.
(Copyright, 1890.)
NEW YORK, March 27. The new woman is not likely to be alone in her novelty where the end of the century comes. It seems probable we are to have a new man as well - in fact, a new race. This will come, not through the commonplace channel of the ballot, but through progress in the science of medicine. In medicine it includes not only the science of healing, but the science of preventing.
All over the world, nowadays, busy men are at work in busy laboratories studying out new inventions and perfecting old ones. Never before in the history of the world has there been such a concerted movement along progressive lines in any profession. Never before have such results been accomplished.
Not even in electricity has the advance been so striking as it has been in medicine. In New York city, two men may be said to be at the head of this advance.
The senior of these is Dr. George P. Shrady. It is through Dr. Shrady that the medical men of America speak to and hear from the medical men of the world, for he is the editor of the Medical Record, a publication which ranks with the London Lancet as one of the highest mediums of medical information in existence. Dr. Shrady has always been a man of much importance to the public, it was he who cared for General Grant during his last illness. He was the only American with whom the late Dr. Morell Mackenzie consulted during the final illness of the German emperor. Despite his labors as the editor-in-chief of one of the leading medical journals of the world, despite his private practice and despite his daily and philanthropic work in the New York hospitals, he still finds time not only to comment on, but to make practical tests of nearly every important new appliance or method in the field of surgery, to which he gives his special attention.
The junior of the two is Dr. Cyrus Edson who represents medicine proper as Dr. Shrady represents surgery proper. Dr. Edson is better known as a sanitarian than otherwise because of his position as commissioner of health in New York City, and president of the New York State Board of Health, but his study of the whole field of medicine has been minute and accurate. In his busy days he finds time for much beside his official duties. His office practice is large, his contributions to medical and other journals are numerous, his experiments and investigations are unceasing. It was he who first took up seriously the development of the new diphtheria cure in America; his recent discovery of the means of definitely discriminating between the blood of human beings and the blood of animals bids fair to be one of humanity's greatest safeguards against murder, and these, together with many other things, have made Dr. Edson's position not only eminent in New York, but almost unique in all the world of medicine. No two men are better qualified to predict the future of medicine as a whole than these.
A MEDICAL WONDER.
According to Dr. Edson's idea, the new diphtheria cure is perhaps the most important invention of the age. He considers it to be the wedge which will open a vast storehouse of new scientific truths, and he thinks that these truths will perhaps prove to be more important than any others of those which we have to learn.
"It is my opinion," said he, "that the greatest of the new discoveries will come along the line of antitoxins. Toxin means poison, and antitoxin, therefore, means simply an antidote to poison. Two European scientists discovered that the human system, instead of submitting meekly to the inroads of diphtheria until a doctor comes along to brace it up and help it fight, combats the disease long and powerfully of itself. As soon as the diphtheritic poison gains a foothold in the human body, the system develops a property which acts as the direct foe of the deadly germ. In many cases this property would be of itself enough to vanquish the disease, even should not the doctor assist it with his medicine. These are the milder cases. But so virulent is this particular poison and so strong must be this resistant force that the human system cannot develop a large enough quantity of it to overcome the severer attacks, and to this is due the large proportion of deaths from the particular disease under discussion. It is true, however, that no artificial remedy ever prepared is so well fitted to resist diphtheria as this nature's own.
"This was the gist of the first important point which the French scientists laid down. They found that the disease of diphtheria was in reality the presence of a particular poison in the system and that nature had a method of resisting it. They found that the only flaw in the whole affair was nature's inability to develop enough of the resistance power to overcome the presence of the poison in large quantities. The poison was the toxin, nature's resistant power was the antitoxin. They saw at once that if they could find a way to develop the antitoxin artificially and then to introduce it into the system in large quantities, diphtheria would be conquered. They knew that the antitoxin could only be developed by nature itself, and that nature would only bring it forth when the presence of the toxin demanded it. They then reasoned that if they should introduce the toxin into a man's system, nature would create the antitoxin to offset it, and that if she did it in man, she would probably do it in other animals. This they found to be true. The reasoning was simple and direct, and it has proved to be absolutely accurate, in infecting animals with diphtheria in a mild form, the Frenchmen found that an antitoxin was produced, which could be drawn from the animal and introduced into the human system suffering from diphtheria, this re-enforcing the small supply of antitoxin already there with sufficient new resistant power to overcome the disease entirely. They have found that the horse is the most available animal for this purpose, and it is probable that there are in the world today more than 2,000 horses which are kept in a constant state of diphtheritic infection for the purpose of developing the fluid which kills the disease they suffer from.
"NATURE'S REMEDIES.
"It is along this line of the development of nature's remedies that I believe the greatest advance in medicine will come. We shall slowly cast aside our poor artificial drugs and take God's own cures. Then we shall have vanquished disease."
"What particular disease, Dr. Edson, do you believe will soonest be done away with through antitoxin-like treatments?" asked.
"All communicable diseases will eventually be cured in this way," he answered. "In fact, by communicable diseases all diseases which can be transmitted from one person to another person or from inanimate things to human beings. That classification covers a large proportion of mankind's worst diseases. Some disorders, such as paralysis and rheumatism, heart disease, neuralgia, etc., will not yield to this kind of treatment but I am confident that science will find other ways to baffle them. The diseases which will most readily yield to this treatment and for which I am certain means of developing the antitoxin may be discovered are typhoid, yellow, scarlet, and typhus fevers, cholera, and perhaps even pneumonia.
"It will, I am sure, amaze you when I tell you that something after the fashion of an antitoxin for consumption already exists and is being effectively used throughout Europe. Koch's lymph is, in a sense, an antitoxin.
"I should explain that it is a toxin also—that is, that while it combats the poison tuberculosis, it is itself a poison of deadlier power. Its introduction into any system therein the presence of tuberculosis would not offset it would be fatal. In this it differs from the diphtheria cure, which, should not cure, still could not kill. I wish to state here that the stories of ill effects resulting from the use of properly prepared diphtheria antitoxin are without foundation.
"Koch's Lymph.
"It seems to be the general impression in the public mind that Koch's lymph for the cure of consumption was only a nine days' wonder; that it was investigated by physicians and found wanting, and that it has now been dropped. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Koch's lymph is a genuine remedy. It will not do all that keen thinkers thought it would, but it will do much. In simple cases of tuberculosis, that is, in cases where the lungs are infected by the tubercle bacillus alone, Koch's lymph cures. Most consumption cases, however, are compound, and in such the lymph is not effective. In Europe it has been found, however, that many compound cases can be reduced to simple cases through climatic treatment, that is, through change of air-and that then they become amenable to the lymph. Not scores, but hundreds, of cures have been brought about by this method in Europe.
Antitoxines already exist for hydrophobia and for tetanus, or lockjaw. Hydrophobia, as of course everyone knows, is the result of infection through the bite of a rabid animal. Pasteur's great discovery was nothing more or less than that of an antitoxin for this infection. He cures his patients by inoculating them with the serum developed in the blood of animals by hydrophobia itself. Tetanus or lockjaw is one of the most extraordinary diseases to which flesh is heir. As many people do not know, lockjaw can only come through infection with a form which can be bred nowhere except in the earth. It is peculiar to certain localities. There are parts of the world in which it is not known at all, and there are other parts in which it is a very common thing. There are probably more cases of lockjaw on the extreme eastern end of Long Island than there are in any other equal area on earth, and there is a portion of the New Jersey coast where the disease is amazingly frequent. This is probably due to the use of a peculiar kind of fish fertilizer. The tetanus antitoxin works absolute cures.
Can you tell me, Dr. Edson, what experiments are now being made looking toward the development of new antitoxins?
I can.
Not with any degree of accuracy, he replied. Experimenters are so afraid that some rival will steal their ideas and rewards that they are very chary about giving hints of what they are at work on. Investigations are, however, going on in hundreds of laboratories in Europe and America. I expect the announcement of four or five important discoveries within the year, and I believe this ratio will be kept up for many years to come. So much faith have I in the future development of antitoxins that I do not hesitate to state that in my opinion the hypodermic syringe will be the most important instrument of medicine in the years to come.
I do not wish to slur the importance of other lines of medical investigation and discovery, however. Ranking not far behind the antitoxins in importance come the new synthetic remedies. Of these, antipyretics, phenacetin, and a dozen others, might be mentioned. Science has discovered that organic substances can be decomposed and their different elements entirely separated from each other. These synthetic remedies consist of new combinations of these separated elements. For instance, quinine. The first of the important remedies was originally drawn wholly from the bark of the Chincona tree. The supply thus obtained was small and expensive. Quinine, when analyzed, was found to contain twenty parts of carbonic acid gas, twenty-four parts of hydrogen, twenty parts of nitrogen, twenty parts of oxygen, and three parts of water. These various elements had been found in many organic bodies, but of course they were without medicinal value until they had been separated from all other elements and recomposed with themselves. Some brilliant mind saw that this could be done by using coal tar as the derivative, and since then quinine has become cheap, but not less effective. The use of the bark of the Chincona has been abandoned. Had we been forced to depend entirely upon the natural source for our supply of quinine, we should have been unable to meet the demand. The same is true of many other remedies. Salicylic acid, once derived wholly from the willow tree, can now be manufactured in unlimited quantities and very inexpensively from coal tar. Wintergreen, the active principle of the Wintergreen plant, is now made artificially from methanol alcohol. It is probable that in the course of time all the alkaloids will be obtained by similar artificial means. This will greatly reduce their cost without reducing their usefulness, and will be another great advance for medicine.
What other recent discoveries would you class among those which are likely to be of great importance in the future?
No discovery has been made which is not of importance and which is not likely to grow in importance. Brown-Sequard's so-called elixir has come to be a byword with the comic papers and is regarded as a scientific joke by most laymen. This is a great mistake. Although Brown-Sequard expected and claimed more than he could carry out, he still had found a new and wonderful thing. He had discovered that animal extracts have a vitalizing effect on human beings. Thus, the extracts of an animal's brain or the extracts of an animal's spine were found to have a stimulating effect upon the cerebrospinal system of a human being. Following his discovery, several animal extracts have been developed with which I am not familiar, but which I am told have accomplished beneficial results.
Another great possibility lies in the blood itself. The blood is made up of two kinds of corpuscles, white and red. A Russian named Metschikoff several years ago discovered that the white corpuscles were the scavengers of the human system. When a disease enters the blood, it is the white corpuscles that resist it. They act in the arteries and veins in a way wonderfully similar to that in which an army acts on the field of battle. They array themselves against the disease germs, kill them, and carry them off. The only reason why any disease can possibly be fatal is that there are not enough white corpuscles to kill and carry away its germs. We have not as yet discovered any way of developing them at will, but I think this knowledge will come. When it does, another vast advance will have been made. If as soon as the germs of a disease begin to attack the red corpuscles, we can summon enough of the white corpuscles to divert the attack and overcome it, we shall have conquered the disease.
One immensely important bit of knowledge has recently been derived from the plant world. The Kola nut has long been used by the natives of the countries in which it grows as a mild stimulant. They have eaten mud as certain Asians eat the betel nut. Scientific investigation has proved lately that the Kola is one of the most important remedial agencies in the reach of medicine. Its extract stimulates in a way that no other drug can, and it is free from the dangerous properties of other drugs. It does not enslave one who uses it, as chloral or cocaine or morphine. It simply stimulates, and creates no craving. Its effect is no less than marvelous. Recently, during certain experiments, an old man, weak, powerless, and sick, who was entirely unable to raise from the ground a weight of 160 pounds, not only raised it with ease, but carried it without discomfort, for a trial and a half after the Kola extract had been administered to him.
As I have intimated, Dr. Shrady gives more attention to surgery proper than he does to medicine proper. He believes that in it the greatest future possibilities lie. The developments which may be expected from the surgery of the brain alone, he said, will be so great as to practically work a revolution in the science of cure. I expect, for instance, that within ten years a large proportion of the cases of paralysis now considered incurable will be brought distinctly within the realm of curable diseases. It has already been discovered that each muscle of the body is controlled by certain nerve centers in the brain. The location of many of these nerve centers has been definitely determined. It is known, for instance, that pressure on a certain part of the brain will develop paralysis of the right leg, that pressure on a certain other part of the brain will develop paralysis of the left leg, and so on, throughout the body. Many cases of paralysis are known to be due to such pressure, and this pressure is oftenest caused by the presence of clots of blood. Thus, by brain surgery, by the removal of these blood clots, that particular kind of paralysis may be cured.
A CURE FOR CANCER.
Almost as much progress has been made in surgery; treatments for intestinal, organ disorders of the kidneys and liver are being cured now with increasing frequency by the use of the knife, and we know that we are only at the threshold of this work. I am convinced that cancer will be overcome by surgery as soon as people learn the necessity of treating it in the early stages of its development. Another important advance in the study of cancers and like growths is that which has taught us that the sterilized poison of erysipelas will do wonderful things toward checking the progress of the disease. A case recently came to my attention in a New York hospital. The patient suffered from a tumor of the hip which could not have been removed by the knife without practically cutting him in two. Sterilized erysipelas poison was injected into the affected part of his body and his life was saved in spite of what were apparently overwhelming odds.
"The possibilities of the surgeon's knife are almost beyond belief, in fact. We can now operate upon almost every part of a man's body except his heart and lungs and I am not at all certain that operations on the lungs will always be impossible. In fact, I am inclined to think that the knife will eventually play an important part in the treatment of consumption.
"I do not mean to imply, however, that all the advances may be locked for along surgical lines. Wonderful things have developed in the bacteriological field; the microscope is adding every day to the sum of our knowledge.
"But greatest of all, perhaps, in its future usefulness, is our increasing knowledge of the laws of heredity. It is coming to be truly said that the perpetuation of certain diseases, such as insanity and consumption, by the intermarrying of families affected by them, is frowned upon. When unhealthy marriages cease, then unhealthy health will largely be done away with. Organic disease, did we not perpetuate it by disregard of the laws of heredity, would eventually die out of itself, and I believe that as unhealthy marriages are becoming less frequent. EDWARD MARSHALL."
LEGAL LORE.
Points Interpreted by the Landing Courts of the Country.
A contract to advance funds and manage justice is held in the Massachusetts case of Marvel against Phillips, 20 L. R. A. 416, to be so largely personal that death of the promisor discharges it.
A street railway company crossing railroad tracks is held in the Indiana case of Chicago & C. T. Co. against Whiting, H. & E. C. S. Co., 26 L. R. A. 337, to be merely exercising the public right of way, for which no compensation to the railroad company is required. This seems to be the first decision on the subject.
A husband's gift of his own note to his wife without consideration is held in the Illinois case of Richardson against Richardson, 21 L. R. A. 305, to be invalid; and where the wife transferred the note to a bona fide holder she was held liable for the amount thereof to her husband's estate after his death.
A wife's right of action for alienation of her husband's affections, which has been denied in some cases, is declared in the late Missouri case of Clew against Chapman, 26 L R. A. 412, adding to the majority of decisions on this subject. The court says: "It seems to be very generally held in this country that the common law gives her no such right."
The liability of a contractor for negligence in his work, whereby third persons are injured, is held in the Pennsylvania case of First Presbyterian congregation against Smith, 26 L. R. A. 304, to end when the work is completed and accepted. The annotation to the case collects the authorities on the liability of a contractor after acceptance of his work.
A judgment against a city, even when attacked on constitutional grounds, such as that it creates a prohibited indebtedness, is held conclusive in proceedings by mandamus to compel payment thereof, by the South Dakota decision in Howard against Huron, 26 L. R. A. 493.
Failure to make any effort to verify the accuracy of a libelous dispatch before printing it is held in the federal case of Presse Publishing company against McDonald, 26 L. R. A. 531, to justify a finding of such reckless and wanton disregard of others as to sustain a verdict for punitive damages. The court also holds that plaintiff's condition in life and station in society may be shown to enhance damages.
A railroad company by allowing other companies to use its tracks on a street is held in the Minnesota case of Miller against Green Bay, W. & St. P. Railroad company, 26 L. R. A. 443, not to impose any additional burden on the land. This seems to be nearly, if not entirely, new as a decision, notwithstanding the multitude of instances in which the question might have been raised.
An ordinance providing for the destitution of milk found below the standard by an inspector's tests is held in the Maryland case of Deems against Baltimore, 26 L. R. A. 541, to be within the police power; and such tests are held constitutional, although not according to the ordinary process of judicial investigation and not made by chemical analysis.
A statute requiring screens of glass or other material to protect the motorman, gripman, or driver on the front of a streetcar, is held in the Ohio case of State against Nelson, 26 L. R. A. 317, to be constitutional, thus re-enforcing the Minnesota case of State against Hoskins, 25 L. R. A. 76, and authorities cited in the note thereto.
A special tax or assessment levied annually to pay for incidental repairs to boulevards or pleasure ways is held in the Illinois case of Crane against West Chicago Park Commissioners, 26 L. R. A. 311, to be unconstitutional on the ground that mere temporary repairs of this kind do not constitute such a local improvement as will sustain assessments.
Residence of children in a public charitable institution is held in the Pennsylvania case of Commonwealth, ex rel Fry, against Schofield Directors, 26 L.R. A. 581, to be insufficient to give the children the privileges of common schools in that place. What constitutes residence entitling children to the privileges of public schools is the subject of annotation to that case.
Vacancy of an insured building is held in material, notwithstanding a contrary provision in the policy. In the Ohio case of Moody against Amazon Insurance company, 26 L. R. A. 313, unless the risk is thereby increased, where the statute has provided that the insurer must pay the whole loss and the whole amount insured in case of total loss, the absence of any increase of the risk or of fraud. The court holds that the policy is qualified by the statute.
That an accident insurance company has the burden of proving that an accident death was from one of the excepted causes is held in the Massachusetts case of Anthony against Mercantile Mutual Accident association, 26 L. R. A. 406, in which it was held to be a question for the jury whether a person found between a train and the station platform, with his legs crushed, just when the train had started, was injured while on the platform of the car, or entering or leaving it when in motion.
The constitutional protection of a witness against self-incrimination is held in the California case of ex parte Cohen, 26 L. R. A. 423, to be satisfied by a statute preventing his prosecution for any crime with reference to which his testimony was given, and therefore under such statute a person was compelled to answer. But directly to the contrary is the decision of the federal court in United States against James, 26 L. R. A. 418, construing a similar provision in the federal constitution. The other cases on the subject are found or referred to in the annotation to the latter case.
A statute authorizing a system of quarantine to be established by a state board of health is held not to be an unconstitutional delegation of power, in the Michigan case of Hurst against Warner, 26 L. R. A. 484; but the case holds that a rule to disinfect baggage of all Immigrants from other countries is invalid, where the statute authorizes it only in case of Immigrants from a part of a locality where a dangerous communicable disease exists. The authorities on the subject of regulations by health authorities are reviewed in the annotation to the case.
The much disputed question of the power of an appellate court to interfere with the amount of damages is decided against the crown with dissent in the Missouri case of Purdell against Missouri Pacific Railroad company, 26 L. R. A. 384, which holds that such courts should designate mere excess not due to passion or prejudice, and allow the option to remit and take an affirmance for the reason or submit to a new trial. A great number of decisions are analyzed in the annotation to the case, in which this question has been either expressly decided or in which the power has been recognized without decision.

BRITISH TO LEAVE CORINTO
English Admiral Has Eeceived Instructions
from the Home Government ,
NICARAGUA HAS ONLY TO SAY THE WORD
Btcphcnion Will Take III * Men A way Upon
Ilecelpt ot a Note from the Ilepnb-
llo tlmt It Accept ! the
Ultimatum.
LONDON , May 3. It Is officially an
nounced that as a result ot the communica
tion * which have been exchanged between
the earl of Klmberley , secretary of state for
Foreign affairs , and Senor Chrlsanto Medina ,
the Salvadorean minister here , acting for
Nicaragua , the British government has
agreed If the Nlcaraguan government ad
dresses a note to Rear Admiral Stcphenson
accepting the terms of the British ultimatum
and undertaking , with the guaranty of the
republic of Salvador , that ths Indemnity be
paid In London within a fortnight , that the
British squadron will bj withdrawn from
Nlcaraguan waters.
The Exchange Telegraph companj' this
afternoon published a rumor that Nicaragua
had agreed to pay to the British government
15,000 within a fortnight , provided Corlnto
Is evacuated by the British forces , and that
Great Britain had accepted the offer- under
the guaranty of the United States that the
bond will be executed.
Other claims of Great Britain against
Nicaragua , It Is added , will be settled by a
joint committee , and Rear Admiral Stephenson -
son will raise th ; blockade of Corlnto.
SAN SALVADOR'S STAND.
Senor Chrlstanto Medina , the Salvadorean
minister here and at Paris , has made the
follow'ng statement to the Associated press
regarding the negotiations which have been
conducted through him as the representa
tive of Nicaragua , looking to a settlement
of the dispute between Great Britain and
Nicaragua , He said : "On the departure of
General Barrios , the Nicaragua ! ! envoy from
this city for Nicaragua , the Nlcaraguan lega
tion was left In my charge , pending his re
turn or the appointment of his successor.
In that capacity I transmitted to the Foreign
ofllcc the various propositions of the NlcA-
raguan government. The carl of Klmberley
has throughout been perfectly firm In his
attitude and In my Interviews with him and
with other officials of the Foreign office my
representations have always been treated
with consideration and attention and cour
tesy. The carl of Klmberlcy throughout ha
shown anxiety to avoid a conflict with the
Central American republics , but It being
considered necessary by the British minis
ters In council to make a firm stand , all
efforts to move them have failed.
"However , I am happy to express the be
lief that this unfortunate dispute Is on the
eve of a settlement and that In a few days
a definite reply will be wired from the Nlca
raguan government In answer to a dispatch
sent at 7 o'clock yestarday evening to Mana
gua , after my last Interview with the earl of
Klmberley ,
"Tho Central American republics are all
anxious to help Nicaragua In her present
dlfllculty , and they have used every means
In their power to do so. As the representa
tive of Salvador , I have offered the guanty
of my government to pay the Indemnity In
London within fifteen days after the evacua
tion of Corlnto. The earl of Klmberlty
having accepted this arrangement , I so In
formed my government last night , and I
have no doubt that the terms will meet with
the views of the Nlcaraguan government. "
From the gentleman who took part In the
negotiations the Associated press learns it
is felt by all concerned that Senor Guzman ,
the Nicuraguan minister at Washington , U
largely responsible for the continued oppo
sition ot Nicaragua , as , being of
a sanguine temperament- led his
sovereign astray as to. .what they
might export from the United States. Con-
tlnulng , the gentleman , last quoted said : "It
would have been more satisfactory to any
of the Central American republics to have
paid the indemnity ratlier than be subjected
to the calumny , misrepresentation and dis
trust which has appeared In the American
and European press Curing the past few
days.
"There la no question about the Monros
doctrine being Involved. Inact the tloctrlns
Is obsolete. If England or an'/ other power
Is unable to protect the safety and rights
of Its subjects In Central America , they are
unable to protect their Interests anywhere.
If England had tried to annex Corlnto It
would be a different matter , but she .
only demanding reparation for Insults offered
to her subjects. "
The Astoclated press further learns > that
the government cf Great Britain would not
view with disfavor a United States protec
torate over the whole of Central America.
'Indeed , during the present Investigation *
the earl of Klmlhrley said tlmt under certain
circumstances Itouhl perhaps be better
for the United States to proclaim a pro
tectorate over Central "America and make
herself responsible for the acja ot Its people.
MANAGUA , Nicaragua , May 3. ( Via Gal

ANOTHER SCORE TO SETTLE.
WASHINGTON. May 3. The Nlcaraguan
government has recently done liway with the
Mosquito reservation , which has been the
cause ot the recent trouble , and has In
corporated It as a state 1 > f Nicaragua , wltl
the name of Department ot Zelnya , namei
after the president of the republic. Thl-
sctlon his been officially communicated to , tin
BUto department. The significance ot th
movement attracted little public attention
but It ( B stated by otllclals that It Involve
greater considerations than the armed occupa
tlon of Corlnto. Now that the latter crisis
Is past officials are turning their attentloi
to 'what Great Britain will do toward
Nicaragua's course In creating the new stat
and thus Indirectly terminating all Brltlsl
authority or Influence In the old Moscjult
company.
Earl Klmberley has already given notlqe t
Nicaragua" that this now question will re
celve the "kindly consideration" of her ma
Jesty's government after the three demands o
the ultimatum are settled. The present agree
ment practically settles these demand * , only \ :
jno of them , " the arbitration of damages tc
the property of British subjects , remaining ,
to be executed. After that will come th
promise of "kindly consideration" of Nlcir
igua'a creation of the state ol Zclaya out o
what has long been a sort of British depend
ency. It Is stateJ that tbo decision will set t
tip what furtlifr. reference England Intend
.to c'xerC In Nicaragira as the recognition o
/ the new state will give Nicaragua coraplet
sovereignty over all her territory.
The importance of the creation ot the nc\
itato arises frcm the political struggles since
I860 over the Moiqulto country. In that .year
England and Nicaragua made a treaty by
which tbo Utter retained the right of fldf-
ioverntnenl. Tills latter right was so broadly
tonstrucd as to Include coining money , col
lecting duties , etc. So much trouble resulted
that Emperor Francli Joseph of Austria was
called In as arbltralor In ' 16S1. His decision
IfaT farl'dy sentimental. It allowed the Nlc-
sragusn flag to bo raised In the country and
also altowtc" the Mosquitoes their own
nag. The contention as to wh.o governed the
country contlnutj until , Itit year , when
Nicaragua took forcible possession , and ex
pelled British Consul Hatch , who was AC-
custd of encouraging a rebellion agitnit the
Nlcaraguan control"ot ' th territory. 'This
expulsion of Ha'toh .and yther British sub
jects wit , 'the csvii of the trouble Just srtr
e
pending , Nicaragua has permanently In
trenched herself In the disputed territory
and has established a complete Internal sys
tem of government. It Is an execution of the
plan by which the British consul was ac
cused ot Inciting rebellion , and for this rea
son there Is much apprehension as to
whether Great Britain will assent to the
obliteration of the old Mosquito country ,
which was the scat of all British influence
In Nicaragua.
The new state extends along almost the
entire Atlantic coast line of Nicaragua. The
southerly portion Is near Greytown , the
eastern terminus of the Nicaragua canal ,
and this fact has given the country Its chief
Importance. Now that It Is a Nlcaraguan
state , Consul Hatch will have to b : accred
ited direct to the Nlcaragunn government and
not to the Mozqulto authorities. The return
of Hatch was one of the terms Insisted upon
by Great Britain.
It Is said here that about ten days ago an
understanding In the Nlcaraguan difficulty
was brought about by our government sim
ilar to that Just effected through Salvador ,
but the Managua authorities did not even
dignify our proffer with on answer , and so
events progressd : to the occupation of Cor-
Into , a proceeding which Is said to1 have
been as disagreeable to the British govern
ment as It was our own , but one regarded
by It as absolutely necessary to convince
th ? Central American republics ot their ob
ligations to accord to foreigners protection
under rights conferred by treaties and rec
ognized by International law. The state
ment coming from London to the effect that
Great Britain would not view with disfavor
the establlshxent by the United States of
a protectorate over all Central America does
not attract much attention in diplomatic cir
cs here. It Is said to be simply part of
le argument which Great Britain has al-
ays brought forward to meet any protest
y the United States against Intervention
n the affairs of the republics of Central and
outh America , viz. : That the British gov-
rmnent must have somebody to hold re-
ponslble for the 111 treatment of their sub-
? cts or to met claims , and that the United
tales must either permit them to deal dl-
ectly and In the ordinary manner with
lose republics , or must assume rcsponsl-
lllty for their good behavior through a
rotectorate.
Dr. Guzman , Nlcaraguan minister to Wash-
ngton , was shown the London Interview
rltlclslng his course. He read It with In-
erest , and said : "Perhaps It Is to be ex-
ected , when assaults have been made on
tr. Gresham , Mr. Bayard and th ? president ,
hat I should not escape from the slanders ,
here are always some people ready to as-
ert that they would have done something
Ise. Th'y do not know the difficulties and
mbarrassments of the situation. This was
matter of the greatest urgency , which
ad to be handled entirely by cable. Usu-
lly the change of views , personally and by
nail , prxlts a full expression of every
hade of Judgment. But in dealing by cable
vlth points so far apart as London. Managua
nd Washington It Is not easy to have the
most complete exchange of views. But at all
Imes I have acted as my Judgment Indicated
vas best for the occasion. "
"Is there any reason , " Dr. Guzman was
skcd. "for the assertion that Nicaragua was
misled Into believing that the United States
would render assistance ? "
"Not In the least. There has bfen no
Misunderstanding further than such as might
.rise from hope or expectation. General
larrlos , the special envoy , was here and
lersonalVy canvassed the situation. Then he
iroceed"d to Nicaragua , and was In personal
lommunlcatlon with the government. , Nor
s It true that I have encouraged the ex-
lectatlon that the United States would inter-
ene. I have k ° pt my government advised
n every way at my command , but It has
not been on the lines of claiming that the
United States would Intervene. "

LONDON , May 3. The Globe this after
noon , commenting upon the trouble between
Nicaragua and Great Britain , says : "Tho
sharp little lesson which we had the painful
duty to Inflict upon -Nicaragua cannot fall
o be productive cf good there. Another and
more powerful state has been taught a use
ful lesson. The American rspubllc assumes
he post of arbitrator In all disputes between
the smaller states and Europe , and what Is
more Important It shows a-disposition to
interfere In those disputes , which Is as OD-
lectlonablo as It Is unasked , for. The tone
of the American press ever since the pres
ent difficulty arose has reflected very clearly
the usual tone ot their country In these .
matters , though perhaps their bluster , and
braggadocio upon this orcjslon was rendered
louder because they felt there was little
chance of being listened to. We do not
wish to heap Indignity upon any state , how
ever small and Insignificant. England has
never played the part of a bully and never
will , but she must be careful to fee that
Apr good nature Is not too much presumed
upon. "
The St. James's Gazette , referring to tht
same subject , remarks : "Tho Nlcaraguan
bill Is backed by Salvador. It would bo as
veil to Inquire closely Into the worth isf
the guarantor. If Zclaya has played us fals I ?
we will not occupy but wipe Corlnto off

TAMPA , Fla. , May 3. The Spanish gun
boat Infanta Isabella Is detained here by
Mate quarantine officers. Last evening the
gunboat steamed past the quarantine sta
tion at Mullahej- without paying any atten
tion to the quarantine law , and anchored
about ten miles this side. Early thlsr mornIng -

could proceed his ship would have to 'P
fumigated and detained at least five days.
The gunboat has 175 newly Imported Span- ;
lards on board and Is only four days from
Havana. The quarantine officers claim that
under the law and the circumstances they
have no alternative but to keep the vessel In
quarantine , though her commander Is highly
Indignant. Captain Itussej of the patrol
steamer Germ came ta Tlimpa from the quar

package from the gunboat 'for the Spanish
vice consul at this port , .from whom Com
mander Coden expects orders. It Is pos

commander ot the Infanta Isabella will defy
the orders ot the quarantine authorities.

and Japan Is only a small difficulty. China
he adds , has every Interest to ratify the
treaty and leave Japan to arrange matters
with the European powers. The minister
also said that the Japanese most desire the
payment of an Indemnity and commorcla
concessions upon the part of China to
Japan.

WASHINGTON , May 3. It Is the belle
among officials that serious European compll
cations over the Japanese-Chinese settlemen
will bo averted. The Interview of the Japan
ese minister at Paris to the effect that Japan
was chiefly concerned In a sufficient Indemnity
and commercial concession Is understood to
sum up the situation. The cash Indemnity
was reduced 100,000,000 yen In consideration
of additional cessions of territory , hut now
that Russia protests against the cession of
the Llao Tung peninsula to Japan , it Is not
Improbable that an understanding satisfactory
to both nations may be reached by which .
Japan will get more Indemnity and less terrl-
tory.
It Is stated that Japan begins to realize
what a great expense fhe has been put to
and how Inconsiderable the 200,000,000 yen In-
demnlty Is In meeting this. There have been
two Issues of war bonds , reaching 250,000,000 |
yen , and , besides this , Japan had 30,000,000 '
yen on hand at the opening of the war. Al I-
most , If not all , of this money has been
expended In the war , so the Indemnity will
not meet the past outlays. Bcslde.3 this. It '
Is said the withdrawal of the troops from
China , the payment of pensions to the fami
lies of Japanese soldiers and the cost ot main

far cast. It declares the maintenance of the
statu quo on the Chinese mainland Is a po
litical necessity , whatever the Issue ot the
present struggle. A realization of the Japanese
aneso claims would entirely abolish the fic
titious Independence of the Coreans and
place In Japan's hands the key to China's

be compelled , In their own Interests , to pro
tect their frontiers from any cause for
permanent uneasiness or serious crises. The
statement Is made that Germany has the de-
velopment of her commerce In those regions
too much at heart to sec without misgivings
German commercial houses exposed to con-
tlnual disturbance. These three powers ,
which have communicated their views Bto
Toklo and know how to enforce respect for
them , do not Intend to deprive Japan cf the
fruits of her victory , but her civilizing pro
gress will sooner or later be menaced with
destruction unless it is basedynpon the prin

PENSION BVaTE.M IN GOOD OKOr.K
Deputy Commissioner Murphy Itoporti on
III * WoRtrrn Trip.
WASHINGTON , May 3. Deputy Commls
sloner of Pensions Murphy haa returned from
a month's Inspection trip of the pension agen
cies In the west. The principal ones visited
were at San Francisco and Chicago and all
were found In excellent condition. Speaking
of his trip , Mr. Murphy said : "There has
been complaint now and then In the past of
delay In making pension payments and we
have been trying to expedite them. Changes
tiave been recently Introduced with that end
In view and I went to. see how they were
working elsewhere. The , San Francisco of
fice I found In better shape' than It has been
for ten years. It has control of an enormous
district , extending away up In Montana and j
Alaska and down to New Mexico , thus In
volving an Immense amount of work. It
has been so well systematized , however , that
only the very slightest changes were found

How rtil Went Up In1 Gerinnny.
WASHINGTON , May -Vce ! Commer
cial Agent George II. Murphy at Luxem
burg , under date of April 73 , reports to the
State department upon what he terms the
phenomenal rise In the price of petroleum.
It has recently doubled In that market. The
local papers assort that the rl. e Is due to
the failure of American oil wells and ad
vises the use of Russian petroleum. Here
tofore the grand duchy of Luxemburg has
been almost entirely dependent upon Amer
ica for materials for Illumination , but It Is
now possible that gas and capdles may to a
great extent close the market to American
petroleum. The price of oil In Luxemburg
was at the date of writing 10 cents a quart.

Is the full text of the letter :
"EXECUTIVE MANSION , WASHINGTON ,
D. C. , April 26. To Hon. J. M. Stone. Gov
ernor Dear Sir : Your letter of the 21st
Instant Is at hand. I do not feel Inclined
to find fault with your crltlclim , but 1
think the matters you refer to should bo
judged In the light of the circumstances ex-
luting at the time the things were done. I
never had an Idea of building up or fostering a
personal following , but so far as politics
should properly Influence tnc In making ap
pointments , I have tried to be democratic
and not prescriptive. I am glad you are
frank enough to admit your participation In
bringing about a condition In ofllceholdlng
which may not bo all that could now bo
de.'lrctl.
"How those appointed to places shall In
speeches and action behave toward the ad
ministration under which they hold office
must remain to a large extent a matter of
taste and good breeding. There are , how
ever , some olllclals who devote themselves so
Industriously to vilification and abuse of
those under whom they hold office as to Indi
cate their fidelity cannot be trusted for the
performance ) of their duties In a manner
creditable to the administration , and who ap
parently assume they may spend the tlmo
they owe the public service In public mis
chief making. In the Interests of good gov
ernment such officeholders must not be sur
prised If they are summarily dealt with.
CAUSE- FOR WONDER.
"When I received your letters I had Just
finished reading a letter of yours In which
you explained to the citizens of Mississippi
your views on the currency question. It
seems to mo you have In that letter con

easy march to power. This is as plain as
anything can possibly be. It , therefore , be

.Mississippi Valley Council Organized at St.

ST. LOUIS , May 3. Today's session of the
Mississippi Valley congress of women was
given up almost entirely to a general dis
cussion of their members and their work.
Not least In Interest was the address of
Mrs. Mary F. Pitts , a colored lady Inter
ested In the wo.rk of the Women's Chrls-
tlon Temperance union among her sisters
In St. Louis. She spoke briefly of the great
good done among the colored women by the
Women's Christian Temperance union ,
which had thrown down the dividing lines
of caste and gathered black and white Into
a great sisterhood.
Mrs. Carrie Lee Carter , national lecturer
of the Women's Christian Temperance
union , said that such a conference as the
one she addressed was an Impossibility at
one time , but she was thankful things had
changed and that woman was now using
her mind to think for herself and was
doing for herself what had been done be
fore for her by man.
"Echoes from State Legislatures , " by
Miss Merta Mitchell , the woman lawyer
of St. Louis , was a review of the meas
ures passed upon by the different state
bodies In the Interest of women. Many of
these bodies , she paid , had refused to give
to woman the right to vote , but she pre
dicted the time woold come when woman
would have the same right to go to the
polls and cast her ballot as man.
This afternoon the most Important work
of the congress was commenced. It con
sisted of the organization of the Mississippi
valley council of women , auxiliary to th <

half breed camp at Joseph Landau's was
thoroughly reconnoltered by the marshals
this afternoon. It Is about two miles north
east of town , and consists of a large log
house and log barn about fifty feet long.
The half breeds have removed the chinking
from the logs at the height of their shoul
ders , around the house and barn , leaving an
opening between the logs largo enough to
point their guns through. The house ami
barn are In such a position as to give a
flanking fire from either long ravine In
front. They keep scouts and pickets out In
all directions. As soon as any party of men
appears , the scouts begin falling back , and
the half breeds can bo seen running from
the house to the barn to bo ready for de
fense. Fresh arrivals have been coming In
all afternoon , and several Red River carts
have been driven In loaded with supplies.
This evening they killed a dog and are holdIng -
Ing a powwow.

Joined them this afternoon. There were 207
this afternoon when the messenger left , but
large numbers have come In from the north
during the evening. They are well pro

and plenty of Hour In their raid Into town
Thursday night. They are all men , having
sent their women and children across the
boundary Into Manitoba. Deputies Schlndlcr
and Flynn drove round In a buggy. The
scouts all fell back and lined the ravine ,
while the others guarded the house and

Marshal Cronan stopped a half breed who
had come from the reservation , and sent him
to them with a message warning them of the
consequence of further resistance to the
United States and asking whether they In
tended resisting the arrest cf the men with
them , for whom he had warnMits. In reply
they sent the following rather sarcastic
message :
"Mr. Cronan : Why are you so scared to

SIOUX CITY , May 3. ( Special Telegram. )
Dispatches were received by the Sioux

this afternoon from tticlr agent at Sioux Cen
ter , forty-flvo miles north of here , telling of
a tremendous cyclone near there , In which
a number of persons were killed and Injured
nnil much property destroyed. The wires arc.
duwn where the storm was the worst and tel
egraph reports are consequently very meager.
The first dispatch received by the Northern
said : "A cyclone passed three miles north-
cast of herd at 3:50. : Several school houses
near the town were destroyed and the
teachers and a number of children were
killed and Injured. Have not yet been able
to learn the exact number or names. Whole
country In the path of the storm Is devas
tated. Sioux City & Northern track between
Perkins and Doon Is washed out for several
miles. "
Dispatches from Sioux Center at 8:30 : say ,
that three school liouses and at least twenty ;
residences and barns were swept away. At
the school houses two teachers and thrco
pupils were killed and many Injured. Two
women were found dead about C o'clock not
far from the point where ono of the school
bulldlncs stood. i
'Ono man who arrived In Sioux Center latt
In the evening reported that his house was
blown away and his family killed. He reports
that at least 200 or 300 people must have
been killed. Parties have been sent out
from Hull , Sioux Center and Orange City ,
neighboring towns , but their work Is being
carried on In total darkness and in the midst
of a tremendous wind and rain storm. It
Is consequently progressing slowly. \
MANY BODIES RECOVERED. '
A number cf bodies have already been re
covered , although the exact number cannot
be learned. Every one Is violently excited
and definite accounts cannot be obtained.
It Is said that Perkins , a small
town between Sioux Center and Doon , was
directly In the path of thr- storm and was al
most entirely wiped out. The wires leading to
It are down , the railroad tracks are washed !
out and the roads cannot safely ba traveled

storm. Help has * been refused from here ,
but If the present character of reports con
tinue to come In a train may be sent out. No
one seems to know exactly what was the
track of the storm.
PASSED THROUGH PERKINS.
Definite reports are beginning to come In
as to the path of the cyclone. The storm
originated about a mile and a half southwest
of Sioux Center. It moved from thcro In a
northeasterly direction , and passed directly ,
through Perkins , a small town six miles north
of Sioux Center. After pasilng. Perklni

BRITISH TO LEAVE CORINTO
English Admiral Has Received Instructions from the Home Government,
NICARAGUA HAS ONLY TO SAY THE WORD
Rear Admiral Stephenson Will Take 11 Men Away Upon Receipt of a Note from the Republic that It Accepts the Ultimatum.
LONDON, May 3. It Is officially announced that as a result of the communications which have been exchanged between the Earl of Kimberley, secretary of state for Foreign affairs, and Senor Cristóbal Medina, the Salvadoran minister here, acting for Nicaragua, the British government has agreed. If the Nicaraguan government addresses a note to Rear Admiral Stephenson accepting the terms of the British ultimatum and undertaking, with the guarantee of the republic of Salvador, that the indemnity be paid in London within a fortnight, that the British squadron will be withdrawn from Nicaraguan waters.
The Exchange Telegraph company this afternoon published a rumor that Nicaragua had agreed to pay to the British government 15,000 within a fortnight, provided Corinto is evacuated by the British forces, and that Great Britain had accepted the offer under the guarantee of the United States that the bond will be executed. Other claims of Great Britain against Nicaragua, It Is added, will be settled by a joint committee, and Rear Admiral Stephenson will raise the blockade of Corinto.
SAN SALVADOR'S STAND.
Senor Cristóbal Medina, the Salvadoran minister here and at Paris, has made the following statement to the Associated Press regarding the negotiations which have been conducted through him as the representative of Nicaragua, looking to a settlement of the dispute between Great Britain and Nicaragua: "On the departure of General Barrios, the Nicaraguan envoy from this city for Nicaragua, the Nicaraguanlegation was left in my charge, pending his return or the appointment of his successor. In that capacity I transmitted to the Foreign Office the various propositions of the Nicaraguan government. The Earl of Kimberley has throughout been perfectly firm in his attitude and in my interviews with him and with other officials of the Foreign Office my representations have always been treated with consideration and attention and courtesy. The Earl of Kimberley throughout has shown anxiety to avoid a conflict with the Central American republics, but it being considered necessary by the British ministers in council to make a firm stand, all efforts to move them have failed.
"However, I am happy to express the belief that this unfortunate dispute is on the eve of a settlement and that in a few days a definite reply will be wired from the Nicaraguan government in answer to a dispatch sent at 7 o'clock yesterday evening to Managua, after my last interview with the Earl of Kimberley.
"The Central American republics are all anxious to help Nicaragua in her present difficulty, and they have used every means in their power to do so. As the representative of Salvador, I have offered the guarantee of my government to pay the indemnity in London within fifteen days after the evacuation of Corinto. The Earl of Kimberley having accepted this arrangement, I so informed my government last night, and I have no doubt that the terms will meet with the views of the Nicaraguan government."
From the gentleman who took part in the negotiations the Associated Press learns it is felt by all concerned that Senor Guzmán, the Nicaraguan minister at Washington, is largely responsible for the continued opposition of Nicaragua, as, being of a sanguine temperament, he led his sovereign astray as to what they might expect from the United States. Continuing, the gentleman, last quoted, said: "It would have been more satisfactory to any of the Central American republics to have paid the indemnity rather than be subjected to the calumny, misrepresentation, and distrust which has appeared in the American and European press during the past few days.
"There is no question about the Monroe doctrine being involved. In fact, the doctrine is obsolete. If England or any other power is unable to protect the safety and rights of its subjects in Central America, they are unable to protect their interests anywhere. If England had tried to annex Corinto it would be a different matter, but she only demands reparation for insults offered to her subjects."
The Associated Press further learns that the government of Great Britain would not view with disfavor a United States protectorate over the whole of Central America. Indeed, during the present investigation, the Earl of Kimberley said that under certain circumstances it would perhaps be better for the United States to proclaim a protectorate over Central America and make herself responsible for the acts of its people.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, May 3. (Via Galveston.) Senor Fellows, the Honduran minister, has just arrived here. He left for Corinto last night to confer with Admiral Stephenson, the commander of the British fleet there, concerning the issues between Great Britain and Nicaragua.
COLON, Colombia, May 3. It is stated here that three British warships are expected to arrive at Greytown, Nicaragua, shortly.
The director of the Panama Canal company, who has been visiting the Isthmus, will start on his return to France soon.
A rather serious riot is reported to have occurred at Colombo, in the course of which many persons were injured.
ANOTHER SCORE TO SETTLE.
WASHINGTON, May 3. The Nicaraguan government has recently done away with the Mosquito reservation, which has been the cause of the recent trouble, and has incorporated it as a state of Nicaragua, with the name of Department of Zelaya, named after the president of the republic. This action has been officially communicated to the State Department. The significance of the movement attracted little public attention but it is stated by officials that it involves greater considerations than the armed occupation of Corinto. Now that the latter crisis is past, officials are turning their attention to what Great Britain will do toward Nicaragua's course in creating the new state and thus indirectly terminating all British authority or influence in the old Mosquito company.
Earl Kimberley has already given notice to Nicaragua that this new question will receive the "kindly consideration" of her Majesty's government after the three demands of the ultimatum are settled. The present agreement practically settles these demands, only one of them, "the arbitration of damages to the property of British subjects," remaining to be executed. After that will come the promise of "kindly consideration" of Nicaragua's creation of the state of Zelaya out of what has long been a sort of British dependency. It is stated that the decision will set up what further reference England intends to cover in Nicaragua as the recognition of the new state will give Nicaragua complete sovereignty over all her territory.
The importance of the creation of the state arises from the political struggles since 1860 over the Mosquito country. In that year England and Nicaragua made a treaty by which the latter retained the right of government. This latter right was so broadly constructed as to include coining money, collecting duties, etc. So much trouble resulted that Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria was called in as arbitrator in 1861. His decision was sadly sentimental. It allowed the Nicaraguan flag to be raised in the country and also allowed the Mosquitoes their own flag. The contention as to who governed the country continued until 1891, when Nicaragua took forcible possession, and expelled British Consul Hatch, who was accused of encouraging a rebellion against the Nicaraguan control of the territory. This expulsion of Hatch and other British subjects was, it is stated, the cause of the trouble just mentioned, Nicaragua has permanently entrenched herself in the disputed territory and has established a complete internal system of government. It is an execution of the plan by which the British consul was accused of inciting rebellion, and for this reason there is much apprehension as to whether Great Britain will assent to the obliteration of the old Mosquito country, which was the seat of all British influence in Nicaragua.
The new state extends along almost the entire Atlantic coast line of Nicaragua. The southerly portion is near Corinto, the eastern terminus of the Nicaragua canal, and this fact has given the country its chief importance. Now that it is a Nicaraguan state, Consul Hatch will have to be accredited directly to the Nicaraguan government and not to the Managua authorities. The return of Hatch was one of the terms insisted upon by Great Britain.
It is said here that about ten days ago an understanding in the Nicaraguan difficulty was brought about by our government similar to that just effected through Salvador, but the Managua authorities did not even dignify our proffer with an answer, and so events progressed to the occupation of Corinto, a proceeding which is said to have been as disagreeable to the British government as it was to our own, but one regarded by it as absolutely necessary to convince the Central American republics of their obligations to accord to foreigners protection under rights conferred by treaties and recognized by International law. The statement coming from London to the effect that Great Britain would not view with disfavor the establishment by the United States of a protectorate over all Central America does not attract much attention in diplomatic circles here. It is said to be simply part of the argument which Great Britain has always brought forward to meet any protest by the United States against intervention in the affairs of the republics of Central and South America, viz.: That the British government must have somebody to hold responsible for the ill treatment of their subjects or to meet claims, and that the United States must either permit them to deal directly and in the ordinary manner with the republics, or must assume responsibility for their good behavior through a protectorate.
Dr. Guzman, Nicaraguan minister to Washington, was shown the London interview relating his course. He read it with interest, and said: "Perhaps it is to be expected, when assaults have been made on Mr. Gresham, Mr. Bayard, and the president, that I should not escape from the slanders, there are always some people ready to assert that they would have done something else. They do not know the difficulties and embarrassments of the situation. This was a matter of the greatest urgency, which had to be handled entirely by cable. Usually the change of views, personally and by mail, pricts a full expression of every shade of judgment. But in dealing by cable with points so far apart as London, Managua, and Washington, it is not easy to have the most complete exchange of views. But at all times I have acted as my judgment indicated was best for the occasion."
"Is there any reason," Dr. Guzman was asked, "for the assertion that Nicaragua was misled into believing that the United States would render assistance?"
"Not at all. There has been no misunderstanding further than such as might rise from hope or expectation. General Carlos, the special envoy, was here and in personal communication with the government. Then he proceeded to Nicaragua, and was in personal communication with the government. Nor is it true that I have encouraged the expectation that the United States would intervene. I have kept my government advised in every way at my command, but it has not been on the lines of claiming that the United States would intervene."
HAVING THE BRUN SWINE TAING U * A LESSON.
Great Britain Felt Voiced Pleaded Over Her Actions in the Matter.
LONDON, May 3. The Globe this afternoon, commenting upon the trouble between Nicaragua and Great Britain, says: "The sharp little lesson which we had the painful duty to inflict upon Nicaragua cannot fail to be productive of good there. Another and more powerful state has been taught a useful lesson. The American republic assumes the post of arbitrator in all disputes between the smaller states and Europe, and what is more important, it shows a disposition to interfere in those disputes, which is as objectionable as it is unasked for. The tone of the American press ever since the present difficulty arose has reflected very clearly the usual tone of their country in these matters, though perhaps their bluster and braggadocio upon this occasion was rendered louder because they felt there was little chance of being listened to. We do not wish to heap indignity upon any state, however small and insignificant. England has never played the part of a bully and never will, but she must be careful that good nature is not too much presumed upon."
The St. James's Gazette, referring to the same subject, remarks: "The Nicaraguan bill is backed by Salvador. It would be as well to inquire closely into the worth of the guarantor. If Zelaya has played us false, we will not occupy but wipe Corinto off the map and other places with it. If any of the great powers had behaved as Nicaragua has, we should have been at war within a week. "
SPANISH GOVERNMENT
Tampa Officials Compel Observance of Quarantine Laws.
TAMPA, Fla., May 3. The Spanish gunboat Infanta Isabella is detained here by marine quarantine officers. Last evening the gunboat steamed past the quarantine station at Cárlos without paying any attention to the quarantine law, and anchored about ten miles this side. Early this morning quarantine officers on the patrol steamer Germ escorted the gunboat back to the quarantine station, where Commander Francisco Codex was informed that before he could proceed his ship would have to be fumigated and detained at least five days. The gunboat has 175 newly imported Spanish soldiers on board and is only four days from Havana. The quarantine officers claim that under the law and the circumstances they have no alternative but to keep the vessel in quarantine, though her commander is highly indignant. Captain Ruse of the patrol steamer Germ came to Tampa from the quarantine station this afternoon with a sealed package from the gunboat for the Spanish vice consul at this port, from whom Commander Codex expects orders. It is possible that, after receiving his orders, the commander of the Infanta Isabella will defy the orders of the quarantine authorities.
POPE'S DESIRE FOR HIS SUCCESSOR
Breezes the Cardinals to Hasten the Election as Impossible.
LONDON, May 3. A dispatch to the Standard from Rome says that the pope has sent to all cardinals, heads of orders, etc., a document referring to the political condition of the papacy, which takes the form of his political testament. His holiness reviews the history of his position to the see of St. Peter and makes a warm appeal to the cardinals at any future time to keep his ideal before them and continue the policy he has heretofore pursued. He requests the cardinals to hasten the election of the next pope as much as possible to as to give no time for outside intrigue or jealousy of the powers to influence in any way the vote of the cardinals, or to place difficulties in the way of the newly elected pope. The whole tenor of the document is to secure as his successor one who will continue his policy and efface at the moment of the conclave the divergencies now existing.
PANAMA CITY MURDER CASE
PAFAGAN CITY, Neb., May 3. (Special Telegram.) George Kennedy, night operator for the Burlington, was held up by robbers tonight. The robbers tied him and entered the telegraph office, where they took a good revolver which was in his possession.
TREATY HAS BEEN RATIFIED
China Accepts the Terms of Peace Laid Down by Japan, EXCHANGES WILL BE MADE AT CHEE FOO
Chinese Cut the Hykes to Protect Peking from a Possible Advance of the Japanese and Hundreds of Celestials Were Drowned.
LONDON, May 3. The Times has a dispatch from Shanghai stating that the emperor of China ratified the treaty of peace with Japan yesterday and that LI Hung Chang will at once proceed to Chee Foo to exchange ratifications with the Japanese representatives.
TIEN-TSIN, May 3. The emperor of China has decided to ratify the treaty of peace negotiated at Shimonoseki by the representatives of China and Japan. According to the terms, the ratifications will be exchanged at Che-Foo on May 8. The emperor ratified the treaty on April 20 last.
Prince Kung, president of the Chinese council of ministers and head of the foreign office, who has been absent from his duties on sick leave for some time past, will now resume active control of the government departments under his supervision.
PARIS, May 3. The Japanese minister, in an interview published in the Figaro yesterday, is quoted as saying that the intervention of the other powers in the arrangements for peace arrived at between China and Japan is only a small difficulty. China, he adds, has every interest to ratify the treaty and leave Japan to arrange matters with the European powers. The minister also said that the Japanese most desire the payment of an indemnity and commercial concessions upon the part of China to Japan.
The Journal des Débats learns from an authentic source that Japan has decided to accede to the representations of the powers and abandon her demand for territory in the Liaotung peninsula, except Port Arthur, in return for compensation elsewhere.
SHANGHAI, May 3. In accordance with an imperial edict issued in order to prevent the possibility of the Japanese entering Peking, the Chinese have cut the river embankments near Peking. Miles of territory have been flooded and hundreds of Chinese have been drowned.
The British minister to China, M. N. R. O'Connor, has gone to Peking to make an attempt to recover from the Chinese government the arrears of pay due to foreigners who were serving in the Chinese army prior to the outbreak of hostilities.
It is reported in Tien-Tsin that the German syndicate which took up the indemnity has failed to negotiate a loan with China and it is stated that the Hong Kong and Shanghai bank is making arrangements for this loan.
YOKOHAMA, May 3. The Japanese delegates, Count Ito, president of the council of ministers, and Count Myoji, the Japanese envoy who were proceeding to Che-Foo in order to exchange the ratifications of the treaty of peace, have been ordered to wait at Port Arthur until the emperor of China ratifies the treaty.
MAY DAY: THE OUTCOME OF THE PRONOUNCEMENT BY THE GOVERNMENTS OF FRANCE, GREAT BRITAIN, AND RUSSIA
WASHINGTON, May 3. It is the belief among officials that serious European complications over the Japanese-Chinese settlement will be averted. The interview of the Japanese minister at Paris to the effect that Japan was chiefly concerned in a sufficient indemnity and commercial concession is understood to sum up the situation. The cash indemnity was reduced by 100,000,000 yen in consideration of additional cessions of territory, but now that Russia protests against the cession of the Liaotung peninsula to Japan, it is not improbable that an understanding satisfactory to both nations may be reached by which Japan will get more indemnity and less territory.
It is stated that Japan begins to realize what a great expense the war has been put to and how inconsiderable the 200,000,000 yen indemnity is in meeting this. There have been two issues of war bonds, reaching 250,000,000 yen, and, besides this, Japan had 30,000,000 yen on hand at the opening of the war. Almost, if not all, of this money has been expended in the war, so the indemnity will not meet the past outlays. Besides this, It is said the withdrawal of the troops from China, the payment of pensions to the families of Japanese soldiers and the cost of maintaining or returning about 2,000 Chinese prisoners now on hand makes an increased indemnity quite desirable.
STATUS QUO A ROMANNUAL NARCOTIC
Possessions on the Chinese Mainland Would Place Peking in Jeopardy,
ST. PETERSBURG, May 3. A semi-official statement has been issued here dealing at length with the situation of affairs in the far east. It declares the maintenance of the status quo on the Chinese mainland is a political necessity, whatever the issue of the present struggle. A realization of the Japanese claims would entirely abolish the fictitious independence of the Koreans and place in Japan's hands the key to China's capital. Moreover, Russia and France would be compelled, in their own interests, to protect their frontiers from any cause for permanent uneasiness or serious crises. The statement is made that Germany has the development of her commerce in those regions too much at heart to see without misgivings German commercial houses exposed to continuous disturbance. These three powers, which have communicated their views to Tokyo and know how to enforce respect for them, do not intend to deprive Japan of the fruits of her victory, but her civilizing progress will sooner or later be menaced with destruction unless it is based upon the principles upon which rest the concord of civilized nations.
JAPS PREPARE TO RESIST RUSSIA.
Agents are Busy Engaging in War Material in Europe.
LONDON, May 3. The Vienna correspondent of the Standard telegraphs: I am told that the Japanese have declared it is impossible for them to yield to the dictation of Russia and are making their preparations accordingly. Large orders have been placed in several European countries for war material and Japanese agents are busy in the dockyards of Europe and America buying war vessels, mostly small, swift vessels. No respite will be allowed China for the ratification of the treaty. The march to Peking begins the moment the armistice ends. As regards Russia, her claims will be politely waived and it will then be important that the allies bring matters to an issue.
PARLIAMENTARY FOOLING FOR DISSOLUTION.
LONDON, May 3. The Times says that a great excitement was caused in the lobby of the Houses of Commons by Sir William Vernon Harcourt's announcement in presenting the budget that it might be and probably would be the last time in which from a responsible position he would be able to address the House on financial questions. The Times declares that this declaration is full of significance when read in conjunction with the report which for some days has had currency that Lord Rosebery had decided to relinquish the premiership forthwith. It is capable of this meaning. Whether dissolution comes in the next few weeks or later, it is obvious that the present Parliament has nearly run its course.
WORLD WAR II: DEBT COLLECTING BY ULTIMATUM.
WASHINGTON, May 3. Senator Mendonca, the Brazilian minister here, has no official information concerning the reported demand made by Italy upon the Brazilian government for an answer within seven days to Italy's demand for losses sustained by the Italian subjects during the revolution. He is in fact at present in ignorance of the nature of the Italian claims, did recall that Italy preferred some claims in 1884, growing out of alleged losses sustained by Italian subjects during the war between Brazil and Paraguay and Uruguay. But after some correspondence at the time they were allowed to lapse until the republic was declared after the dethronement of Dom Pedro. They were then again presented in a modified form, but were considered so ridiculous by the Brazilian government that they were not pressed. Senor Mendonca does not know whether these claims are involved or only claims arising out of the De Gama rebellion of 1892 at Rio de Janeiro.
Upon the suggestion of the Associated Press reporter that Italy's demand for an answer within seven days was rather peremptory, the Brazilian minister replied: "Brazil, of course, will settle any just claims against her, but Brazil is no more in a position to be urged by a peremptory demand than the United States.
"Personally," he added, "I do not believe in the collection of debts by ultimatum."
ANOTHER ALLIED PUSH IN THE WESTERN FRONT.
United States, Spain, and Russia make significant moves toward reunions in May Germany on soldiers.
WASHINGTON, May 3. Consul General, at Zurich, Switzerland, furnishes the State department with an account of the impressions of an officer of the United States army who recently made a tour of the world and is now lecturing on what he has seen. The officer declares that the United States is dormant so far as military affairs are concerned; that although it has on paper an army of 7,852,718 men, 7,605,000 have never seen service; 129,600 of them are the national guards and 25,707 men from the regular army doing police duty and fighting unruly Indians. This Swiss officer then goes into the details of the composition of the army and does not become interesting again until he touches on the cost of pensions, concerning which he says:
"America spends $159,360,000 per annum for pensions, or nearly as much as Germany's war budget amounts to. This enormous sum, however, serves mostly to promote mere and influence election maneuvers."
Comparing the military systems of Japan and China, he says that Japan's compares favorably with European organizations and China's is the worst in existence.
WORK FOR THE INTEREST
Adjournment Not Likely to Hinder Much Before Adjournment.
WASHINGTON, May 3. Today is the last day on which the United States supreme court will call the docket for argument during the present term, but the final adjournment will not take place until toward the latter part of the month.
It generally requires about three weeks to dispose of the cases which have been argued after the daily session for faring argument ceases, and the court has this time taken on the extra work of hearing reargument of the Income Tax, which may have the effect of prolonging the session somewhat. It has not yet been determined what time shall be given to the hearing of the Income Tax case, and that will probably be left largely to counsel to decide Monday, when, according to the notice given by the chief justice, the arguments will be begun. Presumably considerable time will also be necessary for the consideration of these cases after the argument shall have been concluded and to prepare the opinion in case any part of the previous opinion should be reversed. All things considered, therefore, it is probable that an adjournment will not be reached much before June 1.
PENSION STATEMENT IN GOOD ORDER
Deputy Commissioner Murphy Reports on Western Trip.
WASHINGTON, May 3. Deputy Commissioner of Pensions Murphy has returned from a month's inspection trip of the pension agencies in the west. The principal ones visited were at San Francisco and Chicago and all were found in excellent condition. Speaking of his trip, Mr. Murphy said: "There has been complaint now and then in the past of delay in making pension payments and we have been trying to expedite them. Changes have been recently introduced with that end in view and I went to see how they were working elsewhere. The San Francisco office I found in better shape than it has been for ten years. It has control of an enormous district, extending away up in Montana and Alaska and down to New Mexico, thus involving an immense amount of work. It has been so well systematized, however, that only the very slightest changes were found necessary. At Chicago, the territory is not so extensive as at San Francisco, but the pensioners are much more numerous. There also the office is in excellent shape."
How Oil Went Up in Germany.
WASHINGTON, May 3. Commercial Agent George H. Murphy at Luxembourg, under date of April 73, reports to the State department upon what he terms the phenomenal rise in the price of petroleum. It has recently doubled in that market. The local papers assert that the rise is due to the failure of American oil wells and advises the use of Russian petroleum. Hitherto the grand duchy of Luxembourg has been almost entirely dependent upon America for materials for illumination, but it is now possible that gas and candles may to a great extent close the market to American petroleum. The price of oil in Luxembourg was at the date of writing 10 cents a quart.
Canadian Cattle at Ill Health.
WASHINGTON, May 3, Secretary Morton denies that the raising of the quarantine against Canadian cattle was contemplated, as indicated in the dispatch from Chicago. The importation of Canadian cattle is virtually prohibited by the rigid quarantine regulations, which require them to remain in quarantine ninety days. They are also subject to a duty of 20 percent.
Groening is Improving Several.
WASHINGTON, May 3. Secretary Gresham passed a restless night and today is much prostrated as the result of the severe pain he has experienced. The acute symptoms, however, have abated in their severity, and it is hoped this in the course of a few days the secretary will have gathered sufficient strength to enable him to undertake a visit to some nearby health resort, where he may recuperate.
Cadillac Forest Lumber Company.
WASHINGTON, May 3. Appointments to the military academy have been made as follows: Michael Leroy, Chicago; George W. Stuart, Charlton, la.; Frank C. Jewell, Beloit, Wis.
National Bank Changes Locale Op.
WASHINGTON, May 3. The First National bank of Deland, B. D., has been moved to Redfield, S. D., and its name changed to the Merchants National Bank of Redfield.
Dentist Causes Wonder.
FORT SCOTT, May 3. Mrs. Dr. Alberta Oberlin, the traveling dentist who is wanted at Hattiesville on a criminal charge for having administered a poisonous compound to several patients, whose teeth he extracted, was arrested today at Girard. The woman claims the drug which she put upon the gums of her patients was entirely harmless and that she secured it from a St. Louis wholesale house. Several of her patients at Hattiesville are still in a critical condition. Several other surrounding towns which the woman visited report that she left victims behind her.
WOULD DEFEAT THE PARTY
President Cleveland's Views on the Adoption of a Silver Platform.
COUNTRY WILL NOT ENDORSE THE FALLACY
South Would Be a Great Sufferer from a Silver Currency Letter Written to Governor Moon (Given to the Public).
JACKSON, Miss., May 3. Governor Stone this evening gave to the Associated Press a letter addressed to him by President Cleveland under date of April 20. The following is the full text of the letter:
"EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, D.C., April 26. To Hon. J. M. Stone, Governor Dear Sir: Your letter of the 21st instant is at hand. I do not feel inclined to find fault with your criticism, but I think the matters you refer to should be judged in the light of the circumstances existing at the time the things were done. I never had an idea of building up or fostering a personal following, but so far as politics should properly influence the making of appointments, I have tried to be democratic and not prescriptive. I am glad you are frank enough to admit your participation in bringing about a condition in officeholding which may not be all that could now be desired.
"How those appointed to places shall in speeches and action behave toward the administration under which they hold office must remain to a large extent a matter of taste and good breeding. There are, however, some officials who devote themselves so industriously to vilification and abuse of those under whom they hold office as to indicate their fidelity cannot be trusted for the performance of their duties in a manner credible to the administration, and who apparently assume they may spend the time they owe the public service in public mischief making. In the interests of good government such officeholders must not be surprised if they are summarily dealt with."
When I received your letters, I had just finished reading a letter of yours in which you explained to the citizens of Mississippi your views on the currency question. It seems to me you have in that letter contributed in the best possible style and in a most valuable way to the fund of argument in favor of silver money. I have never ceased to wonder why the people of the south, furnishing so largely as they do products which are exported for gold, should be willing to submit to the disadvantages and loss of silver bimetallism and to content themselves with a depreciated and fluctuating currency, while permitting others to reap a profit from the transmutation of the price of their products from silver to gold. I hope this letter of yours will be given the widest possible circulation, and especially among our southern fellow citizens, and that they will be permitted to see the pitfall which is directly before those who madly rush toward the phantom light of free, unlimited and independent silver coinage. If we, who profess fealty to the democratic party, are sincere in our devotion to its principles, and if we are right in believing that the ascendancy of these principles is a guarantee of present liberty, universal care for the rights of all, non-sectional American brotherhood and manly trust in America, then we should study the effects upon our party, and consequently upon our country, of a commitment of the national democracy to the silver alternative.
WILL LEAD TO DEFEAT.
"If we are democrats who suppose our party can stand on a platform embodying such doctrine, either through its affirmative strength or through the perplexity of our opponents on the same proposition, or if there are democrats who are willing to turn their backs upon their party associations in the hope that free and unlimited and independent coinage of silver can win a victory without the support of either party organization, they should deceive themselves no longer, nor refuse to look in the face the results that will follow the defeat. If not the disintegration of the democratic party upon the issue which tempts them from their allegiance, if we should be forced away from our traditional doctrine of sound and safe money, our old antagonist will take up the field on the platform which we abandon, and neither the votes of reckless democrats nor reckless republicans will avail to stay their easy march to power. This is as plain as anything can possibly be. It, therefore, becomes the duty of every democrat, wherever he may be, to consider what such a victory would mean, and in the light of a proper conception of its results, he should deliberate shaped his course. Yours very truly,
"GROVER CLEVELAND."
COLO.UE.V
Mississippi Valley Council Organized at St. Louis Volume v.
ST. LOUIS, May 3. Today's session of the Mississippi Valley congress of women was given up almost entirely to a general discussion of their members and their work. Not least in interest was the address of Mrs. Mary F. Pitts, a colored lady interested in the work of the Women's Christian Temperance union among her sisters in St. Louis. She spoke briefly of the great good done among the colored women by the Women's Christian Temperance union, which had thrown down the dividing lines of caste and gathered black and white into a great sisterhood.
Mrs. Carrie Lee Carter, national lecturer of the Women's Christian Temperance union, said that such a conference as the one she addressed was an impossibility at one time, but she was thankful things had changed and that woman was now using her mind to think for herself and was doing for herself what had been done before for her by man.
"Echoes from State Legislatures," by Miss Merta Mitchell, the woman lawyer of St. Louis, was a review of the measures passed upon by the different state bodies in the interest of women. Many of these bodies, she paid, had refused to give to woman the right to vote, but she predicted the time would come when woman would have the same right to go to the polls and cast her ballot as man.
This afternoon the most important work of the congress was commenced. It consisted of the organization of the Mississippi Valley council of women, auxiliary to the national council.
MAJOR SHANNON COMING TO MARRY MRS. POPPLETON.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-Special (Telegram.) Major W.C. Shannon, surgeon, U.S.A., left this afternoon for Omaha, where he will be married on Wednesday next to Miss Elizabeth E. Poppleton, daughter of Hon. A.J. Poppleton.
Dr. Shannon will arrive in Omaha on Sunday. He has recently returned from the InterContinental railway survey. First Lieutenant L.W.V. Kennon, Sixth Infantry, accompanies Major Shannon to Omaha and will act as best man at the ceremony. After the marriage, the wedded couple will leave for Europe, where they will spend their honeymoon, and after their return to America, they will locate at Fort Custer, Mont., where Dr. Shannon will take his station.
Mrs. Sartoris Denies Engagement to General Douglas.
NEW YORK, May 3. An afternoon paper quotes Mrs. F.D. Grant as saying today "Mrs. Sartoris has stated positively to all the members of her family that there is no truth whatever in the report of her engagement to General Douglas, and no foundation for the rumor."
Cattle for Omaha's Market.
LARAMIE, Wyo., May 3.-Special. Monte Blevins yesterday shipped 310 head of fat steers to the Swift company at Omaha. The cattle were contracted for several weeks ago when prices were up, and netted Blevins $5.15 per hundred here, equal to $6.25 per hundred at Omaha. The cattle averaged over 1,200 pounds, and Blevins will receive upwards of $1,900 for them.

INDISCRIMINATE PROPOSITION
Notify the Marshal They Will Not Give Up the Men Wanted,
ST. PAUL, Minn., May 3. A St. John, N.D., dispatch to the Pioneer-Press says: The half-breed camp at Joseph Landau's was thoroughly reconnoitered by the marshals this afternoon. It is about two miles northeast of town, and consists of a large log house and log barn about fifty feet long. The half-breeds have removed the chinking from the logs at the height of their shoulders, around the house and barn, leaving an opening between the logs large enough to point their guns through. The house and barn are in such a position as to give a flanking fire from either long ravine in front. They keep scouts and pickets out in all directions. As soon as any party of men appears, the scouts begin falling back, and the half-breeds can be seen running from the house to the barn to be ready for defense. Fresh arrivals have been coming in all afternoon, and several Red River carts have been driven in loaded with supplies. This evening they killed a dog and are holding a powwow.
A few half-breeds from the reservation joined them this afternoon. There were 207 this afternoon when the messenger left, but large numbers have come in from the north during the evening. They are well provisioned, having secured over twenty cattle and plenty of flour in their raid into town last Thursday night. They are all men, having sent their women and children across the boundary into Manitoba. Deputy Schindler and Flynn drove around in a buggy. The scouts all fell back and lined the ravine, while the others guarded the house and barn.
Marshal Cronan stopped a half-breed who had come from the reservation, and sent him to them with a message warning them of the consequences of further resistance to the United States and asking whether they intended resisting the arrest of the men with them, for whom he had warrants. In reply, they sent the following rather sarcastic message:
"Mr. Cronan: Why are you so scared to come and see us? You have promised to come see us and don't come. Don't be scared, but come with one of our men or all, but no arms with you. We are not going to give up our men. Wait until we get an answer from our great father. We wait for it day by day. Yours truly.
"RED THUNDER."
Cronan declined the request to go in, because they talked the matter over thoroughly when he met them last Sunday.
Into the commerce commission gets to work at Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY, May 3. Chairman William L. Marrison and lion, J. W. Veasey of the Interstate Commerce commission arrived in the city this morning from Omaha, and took up the case of the Johnson-Larimer Dry Goods company of Wichita, Kan., against certain railways. In which it is claimed the railways have been carrying cotton, piece goods and groceries from Galveston, Tex., to Kansas City at a lower rate than from Galveston to Wichita, although the haul to Kansas City is 211 miles longer. Testimony was taken on both sides. The railroads denied the charges and claimed even if such rates were ever in effect that they have since been canceled.
No decision will be made by the committee until after it returns to Washington. Tomorrow the commissioners will take up the Omaha case and hear the defense of the Transportation bureau, the Live Stock exchange and the railroads of this city. Omaha claims the railroads are discriminating against it and in favor of Kansas City, especially in rates on live stock and packing house products. The commission will go to Chicago tomorrow, where their last case will be heard on the present trip.
EXTENDED EXTRACT FROM THE TUG OF WAR CHEMICAL SHOWDOWN
Schooner George White Wrecked on the Alaskan Coast.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., May 3. News was received from Kodiak Island, Alaska, this afternoon on the steamer Alaska, that the schooner George White of Seattle was wrecked in a gale on April 14. Seventeen of the crew were either drowned or frozen to death. Eight reached shore and still survive. The schooner Kodiak was also wrecked in the same gale near the same place, but no lives were lost. The schooner George R. White cleared from this port on July 24, 1903 for a year's cruise in the north Pacific ocean and Bering sea. Her crew was signed by United States Shipping Commission Forms, and was as follows: Master, L. W. Heeler; mate, Steve Darrich; cook, M. Rutler; hunters, L. Ward Pomeroy, Andrew Danielson, Justin Cheenoweth; seamen, Richard Redmond, C. Morris, Louis A. Durrell, John Harrison, Chris Swanson, Robert Haxter, Henry Parker; cabin boy, James Carter.
REVOLUTION AT EX-COMMENCEMENT THE FROZEN
Old Chiefs of the Cheyennes Compelled to Taboo a Luckiest Feast.
WICHITA, May 3. The five chiefs of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians have practically abdicated in favor of a committee of the young men of the tribes, who have formed an organization, with Paul Goox Bear, a young Cheyenne preacher, at its head. The immediate cause of the change is said to be an effort on the part of high officials to appropriate $150,000 of the tribal funds of the tribe toward the erection of houses and the improvement of allotted land for the Indians. The young men do not want the money appropriated now, and it is they declare they will have the handling of it themselves. From now on, they will run the affairs of the tribe and will send a minister to Washington, at a salary of $5,000 a year, to look after their interests there. The men now in control are all educated, and it is their intention to introduce civilized manners among their people.
SANTA CRUZ, Cal., May 3.-Chief of Police Rawle has received a letter from S. A. Morse, ex-sheriff of Chelan county, Washington, saying that the latter knew Ansel White, the missing heir to a $600,000 estate in New York, for over seven years, residing within a few miles of him near Port Angeles, Wash. White died in 1898 and it was four days before his body was found, as he lived alone. White sold his place a year before he died, and his money, $1500, had been hidden. But it was never found. His body is buried in the woods. Morse is positive that "White was the same man for whom detectives had been searching. Witnesses who knew White in this county say that when he left here he intended to locate in Washington, but they have not heard from him since and suspect foul play.
DEATH IN THE VALLEY OF THE BIG SIOUX Devastated by Cyclone.
MANY ARE KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN KILLED
Some estimates place the number of fatalities in the hundreds.
MANY TOWNS ALMOST WIPE OUT

REPORTS IN MANY CASES ARE VICIOUS
Small list of the victims of the tornado obtainable.
SIBLEY THE SCENE OF GREAT DAMAGE
Trains relief sent out from various points to Sioux City.
SIOUX CITY, May 3. (Special Telegram.) Dispatches were received by the Sioux City & Northern Railway company at 4:30 this afternoon from their agent at Sioux Center, forty-five miles north of here, telling of a tremendous cyclone near there, in which a number of persons were killed and injured and much property destroyed. The wires are down where the storm was the worst and telegraph reports are consequently very meager. The first dispatch received by the Northern said: "A cyclone passed three miles northeast of here at 3:50. Several schoolhouses near the town were destroyed and the teachers and a number of children were killed and injured. Have not yet been able to learn the exact number or names. Whole country in the path of the storm is devastated. Sioux City & Northern track between Perkins and Doon is washed out for several miles."
Dispatches from Sioux Center at 8:30 say, that three schoolhouses and at least twenty residences and barns were swept away. At the schoolhouses two teachers and three pupils were killed and many injured. Two women were found dead about 8 o'clock not far from the point where one of the school buildings stood.
"One man who arrived in Sioux Center late in the evening reported that his house was blown away and his family killed. He reports that at least 200 or 300 people must have been killed. Parties have been sent out from Hull, Sioux Center and Orange City, neighboring towns, but their work is being carried on in total darkness and in the midst of a tremendous wind and rain storm. It is consequently progressing slowly.
MANY BODIES RECOVERED.
A number of bodies have already been recovered, although the exact number cannot be learned. Everyone is violently excited and definite accounts cannot be obtained.
It is said that Perkins, a small town between Sioux Center and Doon, was directly in the path of the storm and was almost entirely wiped out. The wires leading to it are down, the railroad tracks are washed out and the roads cannot safely be traveled over, owing to the manner in which they were gullied by the rain. Physicians have already been sent out from Hull, Orange City and Sioux Center, but are meeting with every conceivable obstacle in their effort to reach the scene of the storm. Help has been refused from here, but if the present character of reports continues to come in, a train may be sent out. No one seems to know exactly what was the track of the storm.
PASSED THROUGH PERKINS.
Definite reports are beginning to come in as to the path of the cyclone. The storm originated about a mile and a half southwest of Sioux Center. It moved from there in a northeasterly direction, and passed directly through Perkins, a small town six miles north of Sioux Center. After passing through Perkins, nothing was heard of any damage. Late this evening, however, news was received from Sibley to the effect that a storm struck there about 6 p.m., destroying the house of John Watterson, killing Mrs. Watterson and her husband and their son. No names can yet be learned of the people injured about Sioux Center and Perkins.
WITNESSED THE DISASTER.
The Sioux City & Northern train, which arrived at 10 o'clock this evening, brought in several passengers who witnessed the storm. They reported that thirteen dead had been brought into Sioux Center at 8 o'clock. They estimate that fifty people must have been killed.
The death roll thus far is as follows:
MRS. JOHN KOSTER.
MRS. POST.
MISS ANNA MARSDEN.
CHARLES MARSDEN.
GEORGE MARSDEN.
CHILD OF A. VERHOFF.
TWO CHILDREN OF L. B. COOMBS.

At Sibley, considerable damage was done by the storm. Herman Delkns, a farmer near Sibley, was killed by lightning. Mrs. Frey and the Rossberg brothers, from Sibley, were badly hurt.
TWO SCHOOL TEACHERS KILLED,
At 11:30, word was received from Sioux Center that Miss Anna Marsden, a school teacher, was among the dead. | 33 |

The military tournament which was
t tie Ci-liSJUtii last evening uniler the aus-
Icoj of the Thurston Rifles was n tremcndoui
uccoss. The object of the entertainment was
o provide the necessary funds to take the
titles to the national encampment nt Mem-
hla , and , as nearly G.OOO people congregated
t the Coliseum to wltnws the strife of rival
ompanlcs , the financial features of the affair
vero Immensely satisfactory. And If any one
a'led ' to get his money's worth ho will never
o satisfied In this world. The whole evening
was devoted to drills of various companies
nd In various tactics , nnd It was nearly
mllnlKht before the last decision was awarded
nd the floor surrendcrpJ to the dancers , who
leld possession until the early morning.
The tournament was preceded by a street
larado , In which all the competing and vlslt-
ng organizations participated. The line ot
narch was taken ut ) at Fifteenth and Doug-
as fltreets at 7:30 : o'clock , with about 600
inlformcd men In lino. They were headed by
a platoon of police and the First Infantry
and , followed by a carriage , In which rode
lev. S. Wright Butler , chaplain of the limes.
The four battalllons of the High school cadets ,
commanded by Lieutenant Julius Pcnn of the
Second Infantry , followed , and behind them
.he Council Bluffs cadets , with thirty men In
Inc. They preceded the Thurston Rifles , who
uoro followed by the Modern Woodmen ,
iCnlghts of Pythias , Ancient Order ot United
Workmen , Grand Army of the Republic ,
Omaha Guards and the Omaha Guards galling
gun section In the order named. The
Knights of Pythias had nearly 100 men of the
Uniform rank In line under Colonel A. L.
Lott. These comprised the Second regiment
of Omaha , Including Lily division of South
Omaha and the Council Bluffs division. Two
camps of Modern Woodmen and ono ledge of
United Workmen constituted the representa
tion from those orders.
The line of march was on Fifteenth street
south to Farnam , on Farnam to Sixteenth , on
Sixteenth to Cumlng , on Cuming to Twenti
eth , nnd on Twentieth to the Coliseum. The
parade was In charge of Lieutenant F. T. Van
Llew , Second Infantry , who had as mounted
nlde.3 Ccrpotal H. I ) . Taylor anil Musician
Hoffman of the Thurston Rifles.
MANY THERE TO SEE THEM.
On their arrival at the Coliseum the sol
diers received a thunderous greeting from
the crowd that taxed the seating capacity of
the building , and as the long lines tiled Into
the parade ground In the center they pre
sented n spectacle that was calculated to
excite the enthusiasm of even a more criti
cal audience. The Rifles wore for the first
time their new trousers nnd caps nnd their
neat blue attire , while the more gorgeous
equipments of the Guards , the showy uni
forms nnd red plumes of the Knights of
PytHas and the more novel costumes of the
other orders , united to furnish an exhlllarat-
Ing display of military grandeur. But
an eng them all the simple gray uniforms of
the cadets seemed to be favorites. For this
was their first drill and they were to furnish
the principal part of the evening's entertain
ment. While the senior organizations were
to exhibit themselves merely as a matter of
entertainment , the event was ot momentous
importance to Lieuteant Penn's youngsters ,
for to the battalion that acquitted Itself most
creditably would belong the honor of carryIng -
Ing the new silk flag for the next year , and
the reserved seats were populated with a
der.se throng of anxious parents , who cheered
their loudest to encourage the boys to their
bravest efforts.
The drilling was Inaugurated by n short
drill by a squad of veterans of 1861 , who
revived the old Casey manual and rammed
down Imaginary charges as they did before
repeating 11 lies had a place In military tac
tics.
tics.Then
Then the Council Bluffs cadets , under Cap
tain Blanchard gave a brilliant exhibition ,
which was cheered to the echo by a crowd
of several hundred Council Bluffs people who
had exclusive possession of a largo territory
of reserved seats. The "High school boys"
from over the river are a clo/.eu sizes larger
than the Omaha cadets and most ot them
graduated n decade ago , but they made a
creditable showing and rccivcd a full share ol
the honors of the evening.
The drill by the Ancient Order of United
Workmen degree team , under Captain Otis ,
was a pleasant divergence from the regular
military drill and n very pretty performance.
It was given entirely without spoken orders
and Its closing feature was the formation ol
the Initials of the order without Interruption
of the march.
IUFLES DRILLED WELL.
The Hides only occupied ten minutes In
their exhibition drill , but It was long enough
to give the Impression that they would be
formidable competitors in the tournaments
at Memphis. Their constant practice has
added materially to their proficiency and as
they marched and. countermarched In per
fect time and alignment the most critical
observer could scarcely pick n flaw in thclt
performance.
The artillery drill of the Omaha Guard :
Galling gun section was an enjoyable varia
tion from the Infantry tactics and the rapid
ity with which the men manipulated theli
weapon was an evidence of many an hour ol
arduous labor. They will also go to Memphis
and may be expected to give a good accounl
of themselves at the WK encampment.
The great event of the evening was the
competitive drill between the four battalions
of High school cadets which followed. Each
battalion was put through the manual separ
ately and all acqullted themselves with ex
ceptional credit. They were remarkably
evenly balanced , less than two points being
the difference in the markings ot the wlnnet
and the lowest. The judges , were Adjutanl
W. M Wright and Lieutenants McArthui
and Wells ot the Second Infantry , whose
markings were as follows : Company A ,
Ralph Council captain , 86 3-10 ; company C
Captain Egbert , 85 5-10 ; company B , Captain
Q. R. Purvis , 85 2-10 ; company D , Captalr
S. Burns , Jr. , 84 7-10. There was some dis
appointment In the faces of the boys of the
i other battalions when the decision was an-
i nounced , but they manfully smothered II
> and united In carrying off Captain Conncl !
and his victorious company on theli
shoulders , whllo the High school yell rang
right lustily In honor of their triumph.

for the Thurston trophy , which is to beconu

SAN FRANCISCO , May 3. Today's pro-
llmlnary examination In the case of Theo
dore Durrant , charged with the murder of
Blanch ? Lament In Emanucl church , was
damaging to the defendant. Some new and
startling evidence was Introduced , still fur
ther connecting Durrant with the crime
A. Oppenhelmcr , a second-hand dealer , tes
tified that between April 4 and April 10
Durranb had offered for sale a lady's diamond
mend ring. The witness was shown three
rings. He positively Identified one among
them as the one ottered by Durrant. The
ring was one of three returned to filanche
Lament's aunt , wrapped In a newspaper , the
day before Minnie Williams' body was found.
When Oppenhelmer Identified the ring Dur
rant started violently , turned pale , and ex
hibited more uneasiness than at any time
since- his arrest. The defendant's counsel
vainly tried to break down this witness'
testimony and that of thrco other witnesses
who repeated the evidence given by thotn at
the Inquest on Wednesday. These were Mar
tin Quintan , the attorney , who saw Dur
rant and a girl resembling Ulanche approach
ing Enunuel church at 4:20 : p. m. on April
4 ; David Clark , who corroborated Quintan's
statement of his whereabouts ou that day ,
and the janitor of nmanuel church , who
testified that there wcro no defects In the
gas on April 3 , and therefore no reason why
Durrant .should have b en fixing the gas
pipes at ths roof on that afternoon. The
Janitor's evidence was for the purpose of
discrediting Durrani's explanation to Organ
ist King of his appearance when ho came
down , pale , sick and weak , aa the prose
cution maintains from the belfry , where ho
had just murdered Ulanche Lnmont.

Teacher Killed Near Sioux Center, Iowa
Sioux Center, Iowa, May 3. Among the killed are Miss Anna Marsden, a teacher, and her brother, with from one to four children at each school. Four schoolhouses were wiped from the face of the earth, leaving no vestige behind except a few rocks to mark the spot where they stood, and the scholars were carried from a quarter to a half mile, where they were found, some dead and others badly mangled.
At the schoolhouse where George Marsden was teaching, not a vestige of the building remains and Mr. Marsden was found some distance away in a field dead, together with two scholars. Two little girls of John Ebaten, belonging to the same school, were found clinging together where they had been driven into a barbed wire fence and are expected to die. Two sons of C.H. Hagle, belonging to the panic school, had both legs broken and were internally injured.
The barn of C.H. Hagle is just west of the schoolhouse, and where this morning stood good buildings, nothing is left. Mr. Hagle escaped without any material injuries. His eldest daughter was found lodged in the trees where she had been hoisted by the storm, and is seriously injured that her death is expected momentarily, while two grown boys who had come from the field at the approach of the storm were injured, one seriously and the other fatally, and will die before morning.
Wires were completely stripped from the poles and some poles were twisted from the ground. Horses, cattle, and vehicles were hurled through the air like chaff, and the country for three-quarters of a mile wide by a half mile long is entirely wrecked. The destruction of the Hagle property and school could be repeated at nearly every farm. It is impossible to give the exact number of dead and wounded. The deaths reported are:
MRS. JOHN KOSTER AND TWO CHILDREN.
MISS ANNA MARSDEN, teacher.
MR. GEORGE MARSDEN, teacher.
A CHILD OF VERHOFF.
TWO CHILDREN OF L. N. COOMBS, injured.

Shiley, Iowa, May 3. A heavy rain fell and a violent wind prevailed here this evening. No damage was done in the town except some cars blown off the track, chimneys blown down, and windows broken. A cyclone prevailed four miles west. John Waterman's farm buildings were completely demolished, his wife killed and himself and son probably fatally injured. Near the same place Charles Blackmore's barns were destroyed. George Rossling's buildings were all blown away. Serious damage was done to other buildings.
Sioux Falls Twisted.
Sioux Falls, S.D., May 3. (Special Telegram.) During the heaviest rainfall for years this afternoon Sioux Falls was visited by a cyclone, which, while taking no lives, destroyed about $50,000 worth of property. It was merely the fall of a heavy funnel-shaped cloud which passed, brushing the earth for about a mile square. A carriage factory, together with a hundred finished carriages, was made into kindling wood; the three-story mortising works, 70 feet high, were carried away; a big iron bridge across the Sioux river was carried four rods into the river; trees were twisted off and carried into the air 200 feet, and barns, roofs, and chimneys scattered all over the surrounding country. Paul Miner was in the carriage works and escaped injured when the building collapsed. A man named Arthur had his nose broken and face cut badly, being struck by flying missiles. Full an inch of rain fell in twenty minutes, accompanied by a small hail, which did no damage.
Sioux City, Iowa, May 3. A Redfield, E.D., dispatch to the Journal says: A feverish rain and hall storm struck here this afternoon. Telegraph wires are down north of Ireton both of the Northwestern and Milwaukee roads, and it is impossible to get returns as to the damage done. Reports coming in show that a cyclone passed ten miles north of Redfield, traveling toward the town of Ashton, where it did much damage. The opera house was wrecked. The steeple of the Congregational church was blown down and many houses unroofed and barns destroyed. The Main Street of Ashton is strewn with debris. Many farm houses, barns, and outbuildings north of Redfield, north of the railroad, were blown down. No one has reported serious injury.
TWO CASUALTIES KILLED BY LIGHTNING
A severe electrical storm, accompanied by terrific thunder, heavy rains, and wind, passed over Wisconsin today. At La Crosse, near Matilda, John Atkinson, a 14-year-old boy, was killed by a bolt of lightning while lying in bed. At the town of York, near Neillsville, the house of Joseph Sutherland was shattered by a bolt of lightning, and Mrs. Elizabeth Sutherland, having taken refuge in the cellar, was killed. Her husband was stunned. Near Frank Haviglo's farm, a house struck by lightning and burned, killing four horses and thirteen head of cattle.
Little news of the storm could be retained by the traffic offices in the city directly; even after 5 o'clock the Western Union had but one wire left between Omaha and St. Louis, and that was monopolized for urgent business to the far west. Of the right wing of the Postal Union, only Omaha and St. Louis were left, and none wore left it ringer and luminous > 3 to Chicago and the vast went around by St. Joe and Indianapolis.
Movement of Grain at the Port of Boston Arrived-Normandie, from New York.
At New York Arrived Persia, from Halifax.
At Southampton Arrived Britannia, from New York.
At Hamburg Arrived Normandie, from Liverpool.
CHICAGO, May 3. Judge Windes today charged Charles J. and Frank R. Meadowcroft, insolvent bankers, from indictment on charge of receiving money when they knew their bank was insolvent. Three indictments are still pending beside the case that has been appealed to the supreme court.
The point raised against the indictments was that they had expired, as no attempt had been made to try the defendants during two forms of court.
The Meadowcroft brothers were proprietors of the Meadowcroft bank, which suspended in 1891. They are now under sentence of one year each, the case having been carried to the supreme court. The action of the court today will probably prevent the trial of the brothers on any of the numerous indictments against them and it is thought probable that they will escape imprisonment.

Short Pill for Sore throats.
Daisy Williams and Edna Jones, alias Jessie Carter, were yesterday bound over to the district court in the sum of $500 each on the charge of larceny from the person.
Their victim was a man from Denver named John Martin, who was enticed into a house of prostitution, as the allegation is, by the women, and robbed of $80.
William Gray, Fred Palmer, and Frank Woodson, colored men, were arrested yesterday afternoon on the suspicion that they were implicated in the burglary of a grocery store at Thirty-first and Leavenworth streets. About $100 worth of the stock was taken. The burglary was committed several days ago.
Yesterday afternoon two tramps from St. Joe, Jim Jluckeye and William Sage, were sent to prison for thirty days in the county jail, but Judge Tielca suspended the sentence on condition that they get out of the city by the quickest way.
LOGANSPORT, Ind., May 3. The Dietrich syndicate has followed up its purchase of natural gas plants in Indiana cities by securing the Logansport natural gas plant, which includes branches at Walton, Lincoln, and Galveston, and nearly 100 miles of piping.

HERLIN, May 3. In the Budget today Dr. Von Poetschers, the Imperial secretary of state for the Interior, declined to reply to a question respecting the artificial rise in the price of petroleum on the ground that the formation of an agreement between American and Russian producers of petroleum has long occupied the attention of the German and Russian governments.
Their deliberations, he added, were approaching a conclusion.
Herr Alvinermann herzlielten that the interests of German consumers required protection, but his motion to discuss the matter fell through for want of support.
CHARLESTON, W. Va., May 3. Judge J.J. Jackson of the federal court, now sitting here, granted an injunction today restraining strikers in the Flat Top coal region, along the line of the Norfolk & Western railroad, from interfering with the transportation of mails or interstate commerce.
The railroad company fears the destruction of its property by strikers, as the feelings against the company in that region are very strong, the miners thinking it is responsible for the strike. The United States marshal will put a force of deputies in that region to protect mails and interstate commerce.
GUADALAJARA, Mex., May 3. Advice from San Juan de los Llanos says that five members of a band of Guatemalan outlaws, who have been committing many murders and robberies in that section during the last few months, have been captured and shot by force of armed citizens.
The outlaws were captured near the town of Saguill and a fight took place, in which the leader of the brigands, Francisco Hojas, was killed. Five others were captured and they were shot on the spot.
EUREKA, Cal., May 3. An old relic has been discovered in this city in the form of a German bible printed in the year 1635, in the days of Luther, by Wendel Riehel of Strasbourg. The work is illustrated throughout with scenes painted by hand in water colors. The orthography is a mixture of the Saxon dialect and the German of that age. It is in a wonderful state of preservation, but was rebound about 200 years ago. The relic is the property of George Kramer, who has already been offered over $1,000 for it.

HENRY DRILL AT COLISEUM.
COLISEUM LAST EVENING PACKED WITH SPECTATORS.
VARIED, VIVID CONTEST FOR HUSTON MEDAL
Will be Decided by Corporal Vincent of the High School Cadet Company A Currents of the Honor
Other Exhibits Pent in Fall.
The military tournament which was held at the Coliseum last evening under the auspices of the Thurston Rifles was a tremendous success. The object of the entertainment was to provide the necessary funds to take the titles to the national encampment at Memphis, and, as nearly 6,000 people congregated at the Coliseum to witness the strife of rival companies, the financial features of the affair were immensely satisfactory. And if anyone hoped to get his money's worth, he will never be satisfied in this world. The whole evening was devoted to drills of various companies and in various tactics, and it was nearly midnight before the last decision was awarded and the floor surrendered to the dancers, who held possession until the early morning.
The tournament was preceded by a street parade, in which all the competing and visiting organizations participated. The line of march was taken up at Fifteenth and Douglas streets at 7:30 o'clock, with about 600 informed men in line. They were headed by a platoon of police and the First Infantry, followed by a carriage, in which rode Rev. S. Wright Butler, chaplain of the times. The four battalions of the High school cadets, commanded by Lieutenant Julius Penn of the Second Infantry, followed, and behind them were the Council Bluffs cadets, with thirty men in line. They were followed by the Thurston Rifles, who were followed by the Modern Woodmen, Knights of Pythias, Ancient Order of United Workmen, Grand Army of the Republic, Omaha Guards and the Omaha Guards drilling gun section in the order named. The Knights of Pythias had nearly 100 men of the uniform rank in line under Colonel A. L. Lott. These comprised the Second regiment of Omaha, including Lily division of South Omaha and the Council Bluffs division. Two camps of Modern Woodmen and one lodge of United Workmen constituted the representation from those orders.
The line of march was on Fifteenth street south to Farnam, on Farnam to Sixteenth, on Sixteenth to Cumming, on Cumming to Twentieth, and on Twentieth to the Coliseum. The parade was in charge of Lieutenant F. T. Van Llew, Second Infantry, who had as mounted aides Corporal H. L. Taylor and Musician Hoffman of the Thurston Rifles.
MANY THERE TO SEE THEM.
On their arrival at the Coliseum, the soldiers received a thunderous greeting from the crowd that taxed the seating capacity of the building, and as the long lines filed into the parade ground in the center, they presented a spectacle that was calculated to excite the enthusiasm of even a more critical audience. The Rifles wore for the first time their new trousers and caps and their neat blue attire, while the more gorgeous equipments of the Guards, the showy uniforms and red plumes of the Knights of Pythias and the more novel costumes of the other orders, united to furnish an exhilarating display of military grandeur. But above them all, the simple gray uniforms of the cadets seemed to be favorites. For this was their first drill and they were to furnish the principal part of the evening's entertainment. While the senior organizations were to exhibit themselves merely as a matter of entertainment, the event was of momentous importance to Lieutenant Penn's youngsters, for to the battalion that acquitted itself most creditably would belong the honor of carrying the new silk flag for the next year, and the reserved seats were populated with a dense throng of anxious parents, who cheered their loudest to encourage the boys to their bravest efforts.
The drilling was inaugurated by a short drill by a squad of veterans of 1861, who revived the old Casey manual and rammed down imaginary charges as they did before repeating lies had a place in military tactics.
Then the Council Bluffs cadets, under Captain Blanchard, gave a brilliant exhibition, which was cheered to the echo by a crowd of several hundred Council Bluffs people who had exclusive possession of a large territory of reserved seats. The "High school boys" from over the river are a closer size and most of them graduated a decade ago, but they made a credible showing and received a full share of the honors of the evening.
The drill by the Ancient Order of United Workmen degree team, under Captain Otis, was a pleasant divergence from the regular military drill and a very pretty performance. It was given entirely without spoken orders and its closing feature was the formation of the initials of the order without interruption of the march.
TRIFLES DRILLED WELL.
The Knights only occupied ten minutes in their exhibition drill, but it was long enough to give the impression that they would be formidable competitors in the tournaments at Memphis. Their constant practice has added materially to their proficiency and as they marched and countermarched in perfect time and alignment, the most critical observer could scarcely pick a flaw in their performance.
The artillery drill of the Omaha Guard Gun section was an enjoyable variation from the infantry tactics and the rapidity with which the men manipulated their weapon was an evidence of many an hour of arduous labor. They will also go to Memphis and may be expected to give a good account of themselves at the national encampment.
The great event of the evening was the competitive drill between the four battalions of High school cadets which followed. Each battalion was put through the manual separately and all acquitted themselves with exceptional credit. They were remarkably evenly balanced, less than two points being the difference in the markings of the winner and the lowest. The judges, were Adjutant W. M. Wright and Lieutenants McArthur and Wells of the Second Infantry, whose markings were as follows: Company A, Captain Ralph Council, 86 3-10; company C, Captain Egbert, 85 5-10; company B, Captain Q. R. Purvis, 85 2-10; company D, Captain S. Burns, Jr., 84 7-10. There was some disappointment in the faces of the boys of the other battalions when the decision was announced, but they manfully smothered it and united in carrying off Captain Connell and his victorious company on their shoulders, while the High school yell rang right lustily in honor of their triumph.
FOR THE THURSTON TROPHY.
The last event was the competitive drill between the members of the Thurston Rifles for the Thurston trophy, which is to become the property of the member who is successful enough to win it in three successful tournaments. This is an elegant solid gold badge, which was presented by Senator Thurston, and there was an animated rivalry among the Rifles for its possession. Thirty men jelled into line at the bugle call, but in five minutes, Sergeant Wright and his assistant, Judge Mills, weeded them down to a dozen. Then, as first one and then another dropped out, the tension grew intense. The slightest delay, disobeying an order or the most insignificant movement of a hand, was sufficient to end the hopes of every aspirant, and one by one, they fell before the sharp scrutiny of the judges. Finally, only two were left, Corporal Frank Vincent and Private Forgan. For fully five minutes, orders were shouted in rapid succession, and neither man failed by so much as the movement of a finger. A quiet-spoken command caught the private off his guard. His musket failed to reach the exact position, and Corporal Vincent will wear the magnificent trophy until the next competition. The trophy was presented by Colonel John C. Bates of the Second Infantry, who was an interested spectator of the performance. Then the band struck up a waltz, and in a minute, the array of blue and gold gave place to a whirling kaleidoscope of feminine forms and costumes.
Luscious cake, palatable biscuit, and toothsome cookie are insured by using Dr. Price's Baking Powder.
Among the large number of bright papers in the May number of Current Literature is one entitled "Fin-de-Siecle: Dusk of the Nations," by Max Nordau; following it are "Jessop Lily, the Outcast of the Roperies," by Joseph Rolton, and "In Oriental Reverie," by Lafcadio Hearn. A sumptuous variety of rich and racy tidbits, fresh from choice corners of the realm of literature, comprise the balance of its matter.

The Hesperian for the quarter beginning this month contains as frontispiece a portrait of George Eliot. Two papers also discuss this eminent woman, under the titles "George Eliot as a Writer" and "George Eliot as a Woman." Alexander N. Domenelli, Seventh and Pine streets, St. Louis, Mo.
The weekly market letters for the year 1894 issued by the well-known firm of New York bankers, Clapp & Co., have been handsomely bound and issued as a souvenir by this enterprising firm. The reports embrace a large variety of facts and figures relating to the movements from day to day of all our leading staples and stocks, furnishing excellent data for the student of finance and investments. As a compact record of the markets for the year 1891, it has no parallel, and possesses a historic value that will increase as years go by. It is a valuable memento of a year that will always be marked in the calendar of American financial history. There is a strong flavor of interesting biography to the May number of the Ladies' Home Journal, sketches with portraits, of the home lives and personalities of "The Wives of Three Authors," Mrs. George W. Cable, Mrs. Conan Doyle, and Mrs. Thomas Hardy, being given on one page, while Frank S. Guild gives a sketch of the popular artist, Alice Barber Stephens, and Ethel Mackenzie McKenna writes of Marie Corelli. The fact that Florence Nightingale reaches the ripe age of 75 this month is made the basis for an interesting sketch of "The Angel of the Crimea," as she is today, showing a new portrait of her and a view of her London home. Elizabeth Phelps is tenderly reminiscent of her father, "the late Austin Phelps," in the series of "The Man Who Most Influenced Me." John Kendrick Bangs is irresistibly funny in his report of the sixth meeting of "The Paradise Club." The full score of the "Concert Mazurka," by the well-known composer, Bruno Oscar Klein, the play composition of which won the second prize in the Journal's musical series, is given. Exquisitely illustrated and timely articles are Mrs. Mallon's "Dayton Commencement Gowns" and "The Silks of the Summer." Miss Hooper writes of "The Newest Dress-Designs," and Mrs. Hamilton Mott contributes a valuable article on "The Art of Traveling Abroad." Women who are ordering their summer stationery will be interested in Mrs. Garrett Webster's article on "The New Circle for Stationery." The Curtis Publishing company, Philadelphia.
The first of a series of biographical papers on "Major General J. M. Corse," by Dr. William Sailer, appears in the April number of Annals of Iowa. "Hon. J. F. Lacey" contributes a paper entitled "General S. A. Rice at Jenkins' Ferry"; Dr. Elliott Cullen supplies some "Notes on the Source of the Mississippi," and a number of other interesting contributions complete this number of a valuable historical quarterly. Historical Department, Des Moines, Iowa.
The special feature of the May Short Stories is a tale by F. S. Church, the well-known artist and author. Mr. Church has illustrated his story, "The White Tigress," with seven delightful characteristic drawings. Other illustrated stories in this number are Halevy's "Grand Marriage," Anthony Hope's "Pyrrhic and Smuggler," and a charming little sketch, both as to text and illustrations, called "The Race of the Little Ships," written by Earl Tracy, the drawings by Miss Carol Albright. It is odd to find that the name of "Trilby" was used in fiction as far back as 1812 and that Du Maurier was probably indebted to the writer of this story, adapted for Short Stories from the French, for the name of his more widely known heroine. Current Literature atury Publishing company, 62-51 Lafayette Place, New York.
Jenness Miller Monthly's fashion article, appearing as the May number, dissects the subject, root and branch, leaving nothing to the imagination or to vague conjecture. The readers are told at the outset what the principal news of a woman's wardrobe are for the summer months. An accurate list of fashionable and appropriate stuffs is given and instructions are offered in detail regarding their most desirable manipulation for women of varying stature. By far the most important part of the article is entitled "Gowns for Stout and Thin." This purely original feature is worthy of note for its wide scope within its intelligent scope, the full woman may find a panacea for all the ills of a seemingly vulgar personality, and the thin creature, who continually bemoans her lack of flesh, may take courage, for so clever and practical are the Jenness Miller designers that they have contrived means by which each may be made, with a little attention to details, a stylish and presentable figure anywhere. To add to the general lucidity of this article, Mrs. Jenness Miller's artist has furnished a most interesting set of pictures wherein such types of women are shown both properly and improperly dressed, a plan which cannot fail to interest, please, and instruct. The story in the May number, "Ditmar's Summer Boarders," by Jenny Hopkins Selbold, is a delicious bit of country charade painting which cannot fail to attract attention to its sweetness and strength. The household science department is an exceptionally well-conducted department. Jenness Miller Monthly, 114 Fifth avenue, New York.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 3. Today's preliminary examination in the case of Theodore Durrant, charged with the murder of Blanche Lamont in Emanuel church, was damaging to the defendant. Some new and startling evidence was introduced, still further connecting Durrant with the crime. A. Oppenheimer, a second-hand dealer, testified that between April 4 and April 10, Durrant had offered for sale a lady's diamond engagement ring. The witness was shown three rings. He positively identified one among them as the one offered by Durrant. The ring was one of three returned to Blanche Lamont's aunt, wrapped in a newspaper, the day before Minnie Williams' body was found. When Oppenheimer identified the ring, Durrant started violently, turned pale, and exhibited more uneasiness than at any time since his arrest. The defendant's counsel vainly tried to break down this witness' testimony and that of three other witnesses who repeated the evidence given by them at the inquest on Wednesday. These were Martin Quintan, the attorney, who saw Durrant and a girl resembling Blanche approaching Emanuel church at 4:20 p.m. on April 4; David Clark, who corroborated Quintan's statement of his whereabouts on that day, and the janitor of Emanuel church, who testified that there were no defects in the gas on April 3, and therefore no reason why Durrant should have been fixing the gas pipes at the roof on that afternoon. The janitor's evidence was for the purpose of discrediting Durrant's explanation to Organist King of his appearance when he came down, pale, sick and weak, as the prosecution maintains from the belfry, where he had just murdered Blanche Lamont.
Like unto Caesar's wife, "Above us the solution" is the purity and leavening power of Price's Baking Powder.
PRONOUNCEMENT!
Electrification at its utmost skill
Jerry Harrington,
DEADWOOD, May 3. (Special Telegram.) This morning Jerry Harrington, a miner employed in the Homestake mine at Lead City, met an awful death. Harrington and his partner were at work in the 800-foot level of the mine, and had just finished drilling a series of holes which were to have been charged with giant powder. Harrington's partner left him to complete that task and went into another part of the mine to do some work. In a short time the "shots" were heard to explode, and after waiting for a reasonable time for Harrington to put in an appearance, his partner sought for him and found him lying beneath a mass of rock, horribly mutilated, just about breathing his last, and before a physician's aid could reach him, he died. An investigation disclosed the fact that he had succeeded in loading six of the holes, when in some unaccountable manner the charges went off.
PATIENT LIST of DAILY NEWS ITEMS.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D., May 3.-Special.) Tom Fallon, who worked on a farm south of here, is dead. He cut his own throat after he had been shot in the legs.

Under Arrest for the Killing of a Farmer's Girl.
QUITO, Okla., May 3. Dr. C. Farrington, who came here from Des Moines, Iowa, two years ago, was arrested today and is held in $1,000 bond to answer to the charge of having caused the death of Miss Hissy Toe, a handsome girl of 10, who came here with her parents from Omaha two years ago. Miss Toe died suddenly yesterday, death was given as the cause, but officials took charge of the body before the funeral could be held and the post mortem examination which they conducted developed the fact that the girl bled to death from the effect of a criminal operation. Dr. Farrington denies all knowledge of the crime.
Coal Operators and Miners in Conference at St. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, May 3. The coal operators and miners at 2 p.m. today went into conference session, but as the miners at that hour had not been able to agree upon a plan of campaign between themselves the indications are that a settlement cannot be reached until the miners have had further time to consider matters in their state convention. The trouble amongst the mines does not seem from conversation with some of their number to be that those who came instructed hesitate when asked to waive instructions. The situation in all respects remains unchanged from yesterday.
Labor Troubles in Sheboygan.
SHEBOYGAN, Wis., May 3.-Labor troubles here are gaining a serious phase, and a speedy settlement does not appear to be likely.

Man Who Committed Suicide at Rawlins was Not the Architect.
CHEYENNE, May 3.-Special (Telegram.) The coroner's inquest over the remains of the man, Sidney Smith, who committed suicide at Rawlins, proves beyond doubt that he was not the former noted architect of Omaha, but a young curer from Glasgow, Scotland. There was found on his person a railroad ticket from New York to Seattle, dated April 22, and which showed him to have been a passenger on the Anchor line steamship Ethiopia. It was learned from a prisoner of the Rawlins Jail with whom the unfortunate man passed part of the night before killing himself that he had made a contract to work for the North British Fisheries company of British Columbia, and he was on his way there when he became deranged and took his life. Smith also told another prisoner that he had a wife and family in Scotland and that he proposed sending for them as soon as he located and got to work.

Hopelessly Cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Among the many miraculous cures that he would not eat anything, effected by Hood's Sarsaparilla is that and one doctor said there was no chance for him. He would lie for days and days, and not notice anything. Howard E. Moody, residing at 23 Kay Street, Lynn, Mass., who was afflicted with rheumatism, followed Hood's Sarsaparilla was left at our door by his mother, Mrs. Ada L. Moody, thus gives the particulars:
Lynn, Mass., March 27, 1895.
Appetite Began to Improve,
"Dear C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: When my son was 7 years of age, he gave him six bottles without any interval, at the end of which time (in December) the sores were all healed and they never broke out again. The crutches were laid aside.
"The June after Howard had taken sick in August, he had sores break out on his thigh, which the doctor said were the last credit to Hood's Sarsaparilla. The above picture was taken two years ago, since which he has greatly increased in physical development. He is now 21 years of age and weighs 183 pounds. Although the youngest of a club of twenty-six young men, the circumference of his arm, when the muscle is expanded, is an inch in excess of his fellow members.
"As a clerk in a grocery store, he lifts a barrel of flour into a wagon with perfect ease.

Thlrty-l'nnr Out of Thirty-t'lre Clmncon
Were Accepted In Mm Opening ( liinio
Uood Ilnll I'lnylng the Woril
for Thl Scmon.
Omaha and Qulncy como together again this
afternoon at Charles Street park. By their
great showing In the first game , these teams
demonstrated that they arc of the strongext
In the association , and that the winner must
play ball all the time. Omaha has proven
that the team IK better than was thought at
first , whllo the Qulncy outfit Is ready to lake
advantage of any weakness on the part of
Its opponents , and will win at the time when
leant expected. In the first game the Omaha
Infield accepted thirty-four out of thirty-five
chances , the only error made being Miles' ,
and he had eleven chances. Hutchlnron had
ten chances at second and accepted them all.
If any better work than this Is looked fur It
will , Imvo to be sought Komcwhcro else than
on earth. This sort of ball playing , how
ever , Is what the public wants , and If the
homo team can only keep up that gait It
will make It mighty uncomfortable fur any
other outfit In 1'ic association.
Both Howe and MfVlttlo arc well pleased
with the showing of the team , anil will do
all they can to encourage the boys to do that
way all the time. Today's game will be
called promptly at 3:30 : o'clock , and the

WHAT'S Itf A NAME.
P.UIietlc hlorj Concerning the Origin of
Hciittn llltilT.
Along the Nebraska river rise a succession
of beetling cliffs of indurated clay and sand
stone , bearing the semblance of towers , cas
tles , churches and fortitled cities. They re
ceived the name of Scotts Bluffs from a
melancholy Incident , relates Youth's Com
panion. A number ot years ago , while a
party was descending the river In canoes ,
their frail barks wer > > overturned , their
provisions lost or spoiled and their powder
wet. Their rlllcs were , of course , rendered
useless and they were unabl ; to procure
food by hunting and had to depend upon
roots and wild fruit for subsistence.
They made their way on foot as best they
could , suffering extremely from hunger , until
they reached Laramle'e Fork. Here Scott ,
one of the party , was taken 111 and his com
panions came to a halt until he should re
cover sufficiently to proceed.
While searching for edible roots they dis
covered a frerh trail of white men who , It
was evident , had recently passed. What waste
to be done ? Uy a forced march they might
overtake the travelers and thus be able to
reach the settlements In safety.
"What shall we do with Scott ? " said one.
"He can't walk. "
For a moment all were silent. They real
ized that they were too weak to carry him
and It they waited for his recovery all were
In danger of perishing from starvation and
exhaustion.
"We must leave him here , " some one said ,
gruflly. "To wait for him means death and
to try and take him along can't mean any
thing else. "
It was a cruel thing to do , but It was at
length decided to abandon the poor man to
his fate. Leaving Scott to Infer that they
were In search of food , the whole party set
oft on the trail. They succeeded in overtak
ing the while men ot whom they were in
quest , but concealed their faithless desertion
ot their unfortunate comrade.
The following summer some of the same
party were visiting the region again. They
came suddenly upon the bleached bones and
the grinning skull of a human skeleton ,
which by certain signs they recognized as
the remains ot Scott. This was sixty long
miles from the place where he had been
left and It appeared that the wretched man
. had crawled that almost Incredible distance
before death pud an end to his miseries.
The wild and picturesque blurts In the neigh
borhood of his lonely grave have ever since
borne his name.

LONDON. May 3. The Pall Mall Gazette ,
referring to the racing at Newmarket , says :
"Yesterday the feature at Newmarket was
the definite check of the Americans victorious
career. The greatest things were expected
of Montauk , who Is entered for the Derby
and St. Lcger of 1S9G. All the money won
by the American horsemen on Eau de Gallic
and Banquet , amounting to near $30.000 , was
put on Montauk at G to 4 , or at even more
extravagant odds. The oppo'ltlon to Montauk
must have surprised Mr. Richard Croker.
The bookmakers were ready to wager any
amount against the horse. One bet , how
ever , was $10,000 to J5.000 on Montauk. "

Attorney General Olnry ( lire * Infraction *
to Murrj Iho Mutter ( hi.
SAN FRANCISCO , May 3. Special Govern-
mcnt Attorney L. D. McKlsslck has received
clegrapblc Instruction from Attorney Ocn-
ral Olney to push > he government suit for
75,000,000 against Mrs. Jnno Stanford without
delay.
Mr * . Stanford was recently In Washington.
Icr trip to the capital In sala to have been
olely for the purpose of urging upon the
a\v department the Importance of an Im-
nedlatc action on the $15.000nno claim. She
md conceived the Idea thnt the government
vns delaying the suit and making no at-
empl to have It terminated at an early
late , but the attorney general assured her
lint the government had no purpose ot delay-
ng the licarlng of the case.
The government's case Is wholly In the
umds of Attorney L. D. MrKlsslck. The gov
ernment has been waiting , however , for
Irs. Stanford's counsel to make appearance
and file their answers In the United States
court. The time for answering will not
xplre for several days and as soon as full
reply Is made the government will bo ready
o proceed with the rase.
Mrs. Stanford's anxiety to have a hearing Is
used on her desire to perfect nn appeal In
ho event of an nilvrsa decision by the
October term of the supreme court.
The suit by which the government reeks
o melt away the Stanford millions was begun
on March 10. It rum In the name of the
United States and Mrs. Stanford Is defendant
as executrix of her husband's last will. The
complaint recites that under the provision
of the old constitution of California the
Southern 1'aclflc Hallroad company was or
ganized by Leland Stanford , Charles Crocker
ind others , and that as such company they
jecame liable to the government for an
.ntcrcst . and principal of certain government
jonds Issued In old of the company.
The government suit Is far-reaching In Its
ramifications , for If Mrs. Stanford , as exe
cutrix. Is held liable In damages other rail
road magnates could not hope to escape.
It Is probable that the defendant's answer
will be filed soon after her arrival here , In a
few days , and that the case will be heard by
June , BO that the appeal will reach the next
term of the United States supreme court ,

comes a story of a dastardly outrage that
smacks of kuklux days. Tlio body of Tom
Brownlee , a negro who has been known to
his neighbors as an Informer against moon
shiners , was found In a creek which runs
through the hills of Butts county. He had
been pinned down In the bed of the creek
by saplings , staked to the ground , there to
die a lingering death ot fearful pain and
suffocation. The story was told that white-
cappers had perpetrated the terrible crime.
Colonel Chapman of the Internal revenue

hand In the torturing and murdering of the
negro , who had the reputation of being a

Opening Chapter May 6 | OMAHA AND QUAENCY AGAIN
Second Game of the Championship Season of
1905 Game Today,
GOOD WORK OF THE HOME TEAM'S INFIELD
Thirty-four out of Thirty-five Chances Were Accepted In The Opening Game
Good Fielding the Whole Game
for This Season.
Omaha and Quincy come together again this afternoon at Charles Street park. By their great showing in the first game, these teams demonstrated that they are of the strongest in the association, and that the winner must play ball all the time. Omaha has proven that the team is better than was thought at first, while the Quincy outfit is ready to take advantage of any weakness on the part of its opponents, and will win at the time when least expected. In the first game, the Omaha Infield accepted thirty-four out of thirty-five chances, the only error made being Miles', and he had eleven chances. Hutchins had ten chances at second and accepted them all. If any better work than this is looked for, it will, indeed, have to be sought somewhere else than on earth. This sort of ball-playing, however, is what the public wants, and if the home team can only keep up that gait, it will make it mighty uncomfortable for any other outfit in the league.
Both Howe and McVitty are well pleased with the showing of the team, and will do all they can to encourage the boys to do that way all the time. Today's game will be called promptly at 3:30 o'clock, and the teams will be:
Omaha, Position. Quincy.
O'Brien, First. Beach
Hutchinson, Second. Rogers
Trinch, Third. McCormack
SI Miles, Short. Hickey
Shaffer, Left. Merles
Shackleford, Middle. Farrell
Donnelly, Right. Armstrong

Warrants Issued for Hawthrone Reps.
CHICAGO, May 3. For some days there has been going on between Roby and the Hawthorne track people and it culminated this afternoon in the drawing out of warrants for the arrest of twenty-five of the men connected with the Hawthorne track. Three sets of warrants were sworn out, each by different magistrates, but each set contained practically the same names. The complaints charge the accused with keeping a common gambling house, contrary to the statutes. Among those for whom warrants were sworn out were Thomas Dorris, Joseph Sullivan, Starter Caldwell and all the other officials of the track. None of the warrants had been served at late as tonight. The Hawthorne people have declared they will take out warrants for the Roby people and arrest them if they venture to cross the line between Indiana and Illinois.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, May 3-(Spaced Telegram.) In an exhibition game between the Cedar Rapids and Waterloo teams in the Eastern Iowa league today Waterloo won by a score of 10 to 4.
Not Associated Press.
E. I.) Van Court is anxious to arbitrate a claim of some $7,000 against the county. For some months, this claim which Van Court filed last fall with the county board has been entirely resting in the pigeonhole. The county commissioners have been content to allow the case to rest. Van Court is seeking to induce the board to call in arbitrators. The claim which Van Court seeks to establish is on account of "extras" on macadamizing the Dodge Street extension. Some members of the board have intimated that they would fight before Van Court gets any money. They have refused to make any report favorable or from which he could appeal.
KANSAS DEFEATS THE ST. JOSEPH
Eminent Alirin in the Discussion with Nebraska
Lawrence, Kan., May 3. The first annual joint debate between Kansas and Nebraska universities took place today. The question disputing was: "Resolved, That less weight should be given precedent in judicial decisions." Nebraska had the affirmative and her speakers were E.H. Sherman, A.J. Weaver and E. McNeal. Kansas, on the negative, was represented by J.T. Madden, J.R. Little and F.M. Brady. The debate was won by Kansas by a very small margin.
IOWA CITY, Iowa, May 3. (Special.) The annual contest of the Northern Oratorical League was held here tonight. The orators and their subjects were: Harry W. Hanson, University of Iowa, subject, "The Wandering Jew"; Rodney A. Rhoades, Wisconsin, subject also "The Wandering Jew"; H.F. Atwood, University of Chicago, "Reasons for a New Political Party"; James H. Mays, Michigan university, "Internationalism"; K.P. Henning, Northwestern university, "Wendell Phillips, a Product of His Time"; C.H. Haymond, Oberlin, "Regnant Americanism." The contestants were the ablest orators that could be selected from their respective colleges, the leading educational institutions in the northwest. Their productions were received with enthusiastic applause by a very large audience. The judges were principals of the Wisconsin Agricultural School, Victor E. Hemler of the Council Bluffs Nonpareil, Gov. Robert Stapleton of Bellevue, Neb., President Michael of Monmouth College, Monmouth, Ill., and President Carhart of the Minnesota State Normal School. Their decision was as follows: First, Michigan; second, Wisconsin; third, Oberlin; fourth, Iowa; fifth, Chicago and Northwestern tied. After the contest, the Iowa City association gave the visitors a banquet.
"Man delights not only, nor woman either," declaimed Hamlet. But he would have enjoyed food made with Dr. Price's Baking Powder.
WHAT'S IN A NAME.
According to Chlorine Concerning the Origin of Scotts Bluffs.
Along the Nebraska river rise a succession of beetling cliffs of indurated clay and sandstone, bearing the semblance of towers, castles, churches and fortified cities. They received the name of Scotts Bluffs from a melancholy incident, relates Youth's Companion. A number of years ago, while a party was descending the river in canoes, their frail barks were overturned, their provisions lost or spoiled and their powder wet. Their rifles were, of course, rendered useless and they were unable to procure food by hunting and had to depend upon roots and wild fruit for subsistence.
They made their way on foot as best they could, suffering extremely from hunger, until they reached Laramie's Fork. Here Scott, one of the party, was taken ill and his companions came to a halt until he should recover sufficiently to proceed.
While searching for edible roots they discovered a fresh trail of white men who, it was evident, had recently passed. What to do? By a forced march they might overtake the travelers and thus be able to reach the settlements in safety.
"What shall we do with Scott?" said one. "He can't walk."
For a moment all were silent. They realized that they were too weak to carry him and if they waited for his recovery all were in danger of perishing from starvation and exhaustion.
"We must leave him here," said one gruffly. "To wait for him means death and to try and take him along can't mean anything else."
It was a cruel thing to do, but it was at length decided to abandon the poor man to his fate. Leaving Scott to infer that they were in search of food, the whole party set off on the trail. They succeeded in overtaking the white men of whom they were in quest, but concealed their faithless desertion of their unfortunate comrade.
The following summer some of the same party were visiting the region again. They came suddenly upon the bleached bones and the grinning skull of a human skeleton, which by certain signs they recognized as the remains of Scott. This was sixty long miles from the place where he had been left and it appeared that the wretched man had crawled that almost incredible distance before death put an end to his miseries.
The wild and picturesque bluffs in the neighborhood of his lonely grave have ever since borne his name.
Sister Wins More Money.
On June 10, 1894, M.L. Andrews was drowned. At that time he had an accident policy for $5,000, written with the United States Mutual Accident association. In addition to this, on October 17, 1893, he paid the company $4 extra to insure his life for 25 percent in addition to the $5,000. The proceeds of the policy were paid to his sister, Jessie H. Andrews, who is the present plaintiff. She has filed a new petition complaining that the company induced her to settle for $5,000, although $1,250 is still due as the proceeds of the $4 payment. She wants all the money.

With Steam's Electric Paste; 25c. CLOSE OF THE SPRING MEET Fourth and Last Day of a Successful Season at Newmarket, GALEOTTI WON THE THOUSAND GUINEAS Lone Odd) Filly Against the Filly at the Post She Won! Three Open Lengths Montauk's Pluck Tickles the Brittle.
NEWMARKET, May 3. This was the fourth and last day of the Newmarket first spring meeting. The chief event on the program was the 1,000 guineas stakes. The conditions were as follows. The 1,000 guineas stakes of 100 sovereigns each, half forfeit, for 3-year-old fillies 8 stone 10 pounds each, the second to receive 200 sovereigns out of the stakes and the third to save her stake; course, the Rowley mile; distance, one mile eleven yards.
The race was won by Mr. M. W. Cox's bay filly Galeotti, by Galopin, out of Agave; Sir James Miller's bay filly La Sagesse, by Wisdom, out of St. Mary, was second, and Lord Rosebery's brown filly G. A. S., by Ayrshire, out of Ruminate, was third. Fifteen horses ran.
Mr. Daniel Cooper's Fleet led until the distance was covered, when Mr. L. Brassey's Butterfly took the lead, but yielded at the distance to Galeotti. The latter won by three lengths, half a length separating second and third horses.
The betting was 100 to 8 against Galeotti and La Sagesse and 20 to 1 against G. A. S.
LONDON, May 3. The Pall Mall Gazette, referring to the racing at Newmarket, says: "Yesterday the feature at Newmarket was the definite check of the Americans' victorious career. The greatest things were expected of Montauk, who Is entered for the Derby and St. Leger of 1886. All the money won by the American horsemen on Eau de Gallic and Banquet, amounting to near $30,000, was put on Montauk at 6 to 4, or at even more extravagant odds. The opposition to Montauk must have surprised Mr. Richard Croker. The bookmakers were ready to wager any amount against the horse. One bet, however, was $10,000 to $5,000 on Montauk."

THE STAMFORD SUE:
Attorney General Olney's infraction suit against Mrs. Leland Stanford for $75,000,000:
San Francisco, May 3. Special Government Attorney L. D. McKissick has received telegraphic instructions from Attorney General Olney to push the government suit for $75,000,000 against Mrs. Leland Stanford without delay.
Mrs. Stanford was recently in Washington. Her trip to the capital is said to have been solely for the purpose of urging upon the Navy Department the importance of an immediate action on the $15,000,000 claim. She had conceived the idea that the government was delaying the suit and making no attempt to have it terminated at an early date, but the attorney general assured her that the government had no purpose of delaying the hearing of the case.
The government's case is wholly in the hands of Attorney L. D. McKissick. The government has been waiting, however, for Mrs. Stanford's counsel to make an appearance and file their answers in the United States court. The time for answering will not expire for several days and as soon as full reply is made, the government will be ready to proceed with the case.
Mrs. Stanford's anxiety to have a hearing is used on her desire to perfect an appeal in the event of an adverse decision by the October term of the supreme court.
The suit by which the government seeks to melt away the Stanford millions was begun on March 10. It is in the name of the United States and Mrs. Stanford is defendant as executrix of her husband's last will. The complaint recites that under the provisions of the old constitution of California, the Southern Pacific Railroad company was organized by Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, and others, and that as such company they became liable to the government for an interest and principal of certain government bonds issued in aid of the company.
The government suit is far-reaching in its ramifications, for if Mrs. Stanford, as executrix, is held liable in damages, other railroad magnates could not hope to escape.
It is probable that the defendant's answer will be filed soon after her arrival here, in a few days, and that the case will be heard by June, so that the appeal will reach the next term of the United States supreme court.
OIL PROPERTIES IN INJURY:
Serious forest fire engulfs northern California timber reserves.
BRADFORD, Pa., May 3. The sky is hazy from the numerous forest fires in this vicinity. Between Kettler and Kasson, along the line of the Erie road, the woods are a mass of flames. In that vicinity there are millions of feet of hemlock logs and large quantities of timber. Near Crawford Junction, the fire is burning fiercely and threatens the destruction of oil property. Another fire is raging between McCampbell and Mount Jewett, and in the vicinity of Hazelwood, on the Bradford, Bordell & Kinzua, the woods are on fire on either side of the track. The fire is spreading with great rapidity and it is almost impossible to check the flames. Men are stationed along the railroad to prevent the fires from destroying oil property, which is in danger. Drilling wells in a great many places are suspended because of a lack of water. All springs are dried up and unless it rains soon work in this field will be seriously interfered with.
Mrs. Cleveland insists on wholesome, dainty desserts, so she is never out of Price's Cream Baking Powder.
GEORGIA EXAMINES ITS VICTIM AND LEAVES HIM TO DIE.
ATLANTA, Ga., May 5. From Butts county, in the central portion of the state, comes a story of a dastardly outrage that smacks of KKK days. The body of Tom Brownlee, a negro who has been known to his neighbors as an informer against moonshiners, was found in a creek which runs through the hills of Butts county. He had been pinned down in the bed of the creek by saplings, staked to the ground, there to die a lingering death of fearful pain and suffocation. The story was told that whitecaps had perpetrated the terrible crime. Colonel Chapman of the Internal Revenue department has sent a report to Washington of the outrage. The government will investigate the case, and those who had a hand in the torturing and murdering of the negro, who had the reputation of being a law-abiding citizen, will be brought to justice.

Charlotte buns.
Two tablespoonfuls gelatin soaked in a little cold milk for two hours; two cups rich cream; one cup milk. Whip cream stiff in a large bowl or dish; set on ice. Dilute milk and pour gradually over gelatin until dissolved, then cool; when nearly cold add whipped cream, spoonful at a time.
Sweeten with powdered sugar, flavor with Royal Extract Vanilla. Line dish with ladyfingers or sponge cake; pour in cream and set in cool place to harden.
Pumpkin pie.
Take a large sized pumpkin, firm, of deep color, wash and boil it as you would potatoes with skin on; when thoroughly cooked, pass carefully through a sieve, clearing it of all lumps, seeds, etc. Take one cup brown sugar, one cup molasses, mix well together, then the whites and yolks of four eggs well together and mix with the pumpkin thoroughly; then add the molasses and sugar, pinch of salt, four teaspoons ground ginger, one teaspoonful ground cinnamon; take one cup milk, mix well altogether. This is intended to make six pies; should pumpkin not be a large one, add less milk so as not to get too thin. Bake in deep plate lined with plain pastry. Squash pie made in same way.
Conserve.
Soak one cupful sugar and one cupful water together for fifteen minutes, then remove; when cooled a little, add one-half teaspoonful Royal Extract Lemon and one tablespoonful lemon juice.
Drying fruits for desserts.
Any desirable fruit may be easily dried by dipping first in the beaten white of an egg, then in sugar finely pulverized, and again in egg, and so on until you have the icing of the desired thickness. For this purpose oranges or lemons should be carefully pared and all the white inner skin removed as possible, to prevent bitterness; then cut either in thin horizontal slices or in quarters if oranges. For cherries, strawberries, currants, etc., choose the largest and uncut, leaving stems out. Peaches should be pared and cut in halves, and sweet julep pears may be treated in the same way, or look nicely when pared, leaving on the stems and iced. Pineapples should be cut in thin slices, and these again divided into quarters.

Many Narrow Escape.
SOUTH ACTON, Mass., May 3. This morning one of the powder mills of the American Powder company here blew up. A few minutes later a second mill, situated 100 yards away, also exploded. Fire caused by the explosion spread to the third mill known as the Corning mill and was a few minutes later destroyed. Five persons were killed. The woods close by the mills were set on fire and burned fiercely, threatening the big storehouse of the company, containing 20,000 pounds of powder and preventing the saving of property. Fifty men were employed in the mills and when the noise of the first explosion was heard those in the Corning mill, about forty in number, rushed from the building and escaped before the flames spread to the mill. The mills, ten in number, are separated from each other and enclosed by high board fences. The explosion of the first mill set fire to the surrounding fence and the flames soon spread to the second mill. In fifteen minutes after the first explosion three of the mills had been destroyed.
The list of dead follows:

KIRK
His Great Preparations Give Unsurpassed Satisfaction.
MONEY MAKER
Brings Delight and Happiness in all Laundry Work.
IT MARKS A NEW ERA IN LAUNDRY AND FOR ALL WASHING PURPOSES.
That the great preparation, "Haldan Water Maker," marks a new era in the laundry and for all washing purposes. It is putting it mildly. This wonderful discovery is gaining thousands of friends every day. Nothing has ever been offered to the public here-to-fore that will do what is claimed for it so neatly and economically.
"Italian Water Maker" Thousands stand ready to testify to this fact on demand. It is better than washing compounds and soap powders, as it contains no deleterious ingredients and is perfectly harmless. "Italian Water Maker" is a money saver, as only half the soap is used, while the labor is reduced to a minimum. All observing and shrewd household observers will readily see the great merit and virtue of this wonderful discovery after giving it a thorough trial in the household.
This valuable preparation will soften the hardest of water, making all waters soft and velvety, while it is essential for all kinds of washing in all kinds of water. Colored or printed goods, such as calicos, colored hosiery, etc., will not run or fade in water that is prepared by "Italian Water Maker." It is also invaluable for washing flannels and woolens, as it will positively prevent shrinkage, and will impart lasting quality and durability.
For the bath or toilet "Italian Water Maker" is exquisite, accelerating the action of soap and helping the soap to remove any superfluous secretions that may adhere to the body.
Head what those who have tried this great preparation have to say regarding its merits:
FINISHING INSTITUTION HAS TRIED IT,
Mrs. J. M. Carpenter of 517 X. 17th St., a most estimable lady, was seen by a reporter, and said:
"I think Kirk's Italian Water Maker is the finest preparation that I have ever used. I have tried the sample I got at The Bee office and after a trial I immediately ordered a package of my grocer. It does all that is claimed it will do, and I could not do otherwise than recommend Italian Water Maker very highly. It makes the clothes beautiful and softens the hardest of water."
"It Works So Admirably,"
Mrs. Grebe, wife of the genial ex-conbailiff Louis Grebe, after trying Italian Water Maker, says:
"I have tried the sample of Kirk's Italian Water Maker and I was very agreeably surprised to find that it worked so admirably. It makes the water very soft and gives the clothes a beautiful white color, which I have not been able to attain heretofore. I take pleasure in recommending it to others and think it is something that every household should have in her house."

"STORM DRIVEN"
A Story by "THE DUCHESS."
Every one knows what that means. It means as good a story as was ever penned of the good, old-fashioned sort.
Even "The Duchess" never wrote better story than "Storm Driven," whose publication will be begun by THE DAILY BEGINS Monday, May 6.
The scene is English, the characters are human and understandable, the heroine is a suffering and overwrought woman who is released from a marriage with an unscrupulous villain by a happy chance, just as she has succeeded in rescuing from him another innocent girl upon whom he has designs.
It is a tale thrilling in its incidents and happy in its termination, as all stories should be.

OVEllRlDIXr ) TllK CONSTITUTION.
Senator Ahor.i U on applicant for the posi
tion of secretary cf the Hoard of Irrigation.
Thu law provide * tliat the secretary ilmll be
a competent , practical civil engineer , which
forever bar * any overweening ambition tlie
eenatcr may bavo In that direction , As a
ma'tor of homo prldo we might want to ice
him receive the appointment , but In justice
to the Irrigation Intcrcjts of the Rtate we
must suy that his appointment would bo aver
\vor o drawback to It than a heavy rnlnfall
for the nest ten years. Gcrlng Homestead.
Tin ? candidacy of State Senator Akers
for the position of secretary of the
Hoard of Irrigation Involves not so
much the cjuostlon of his competency
as a civil engineer as It does his right
to hold any olllce created by the legis
lature of which he Is tt member or
tlio authority of the Hoard of Irrigation
to appoint him. The late legislature
has set a pernicious example In Its
llngntnt attempts to override the consti
tution not only by delegating executive
appointing powers to .state boards con
trary to the letter of the constitution ,
but In exercising such-powers as a legis
lative body In defiance of constitutional
prohibition.
Section IS , article III. of tlie constitu
tion declares that no person elected to
the legislature shall receive a civil
ippolntment within this state from tlie
governor or senate during the term for
which he has been elected , and all such
ippolntments nnd nil votes given for
my such member for any such olllce
or appointment shall be void.
Manifestly tlie constitution content-
ilates that all executive appointments
shall be made by the governor and that
10 member of the legislature shall re-
celvo or hold any civil appointment
during the term for which he was
elected.
The late legislature delegated the
lower of appointing Irrigation olllcers
to a board composed of several state
Dlllcc'i-s , but the legislature could not
iibrogatc the constitutional provision
that bars Senator Akers and every
) ther member of tlio legislature from
liolding any civil appointment at their
liands even though the legislature did
whip the devil around tlie stump by
taking tlie appointment from tlio gov
ernor.
The appointment of members of the
egislature during tlielr terms of olllce
.o any state position is a very perni
cious practice and should bo dlscoun-
.enancod even where It docs not con
travene the constitution. In the first
place , neither the governor nor any
state olllcer who has at his disposal any
tppointment or employment has any
right to create vacancies in tlie legisla
ture. The people elect their representa
tives for a llxed term and have a right
to expect that they will servo to the
end of their terms.
An emergency that may require the
L'onvenlng of the legislature may arise
tt any time and every district should
lo ) In condition to have Its people repre
sented. In the next place , the appoint
ment of members of tlio legislature to
salaried state positions Is domoral-
/.Ing and tends to corrupt tlie fountains
of legislation. The constitution ex-
[ tressly prohibits members from being
interested directly or indirectly In any
contract with tlie state , county or city
authorized by any law passed during
the term for which they have boon
lected or for one year after the expira
tion of such term. If members of the
legislature1 cannot bo interested in a
contract under a law passed during their
terms they certainly have no right to
any olllcu or employment to which a
salary Is attached.
Tlie prime object of the franters of
the constitution evidently was to pre
vent members of the legislature from
becoming bencllolarios oi' laws enacted
by themselves , and Senator Akers' case
certainly conies under that rule.
Tin : JlXUd SKXTIMKNT.
American statesmen are notoriously
lacking in thnt reserve , with respect to
international Issues , which is character
istic of tlio statesmen of the leading na
tions of the old world. It would be
extremely dllllcult to Induce a member
of the Hrltlsh Parliament or tlio French
Chambers , or the German Itclchstng , to
unbosom himself to a newspaper re
porter regarding what the policy of his
government should bo In an interna
tional matter in which his govercnmont
had a concern or might become involved.
Domestic questions they might discuss
In the form of Interviews with the ut
most freedom , but they would decline to
express an opinion as to tlio foreign
policy of their countries. It Is very
different , however , with American sena
tors and representatives. Itegardless
of the fact that they may have to act
In their legislative capacity upon inter
national questions they freely give to
the public , when asked , their opinions
respecting the course the government
should pursue , thus often In advance
of an olllclal and detailed knowledge of
the facts committing themselves to a
policy which later circumstances may
show would be unwlso and perilous.
Partisan feeling is to no little extent
responsible for this , but whatever the
motive It Is a fact that as a rule our
public men are too free in their opinions
upon questions affecting our Inter
national relations and the duty of our
government In respect of such relations.
More reserve and discretion In this par
ticular would better comport with the
dignity and tlie duty of public men.
Senator Cnllom of Illinois is reported
as having declared In an Interview that
England must get away from Nicaragua
or there will IKS war between that coun
try and the United States. This la
foolish and reckless talk , which n sena
tor us old In years and In jfcrvlco ns
Mr. Cullont ought to bo ashamed of , and
which perhaps he. will bo In view of
the fact that the Hrltlsli government
lias shown that it has no purpose in
Its dealings with Nicaragua except to ob
tain the indemnity demanded and which
our government hits conceded Its right
to demand. It do > mt't want NU-n''agnail
territory and that being the case tlm
United States 1ms no excuse or Justi
fication for Interference. Senator Mor
gan of Alabama Is another who Is pre
pared to Involve this country In a wai
with Great Hrltatn on account of the
Nicaragua dllllculty. The Alabama
senator arraigns England for a per
sistent course of aggression for a hun
dred years In every quarter of the globe ,
which Is all true , but which furnishes
no warrant for the United States Inter
posing to prevent the collection of a
money Indemnity from Nicaragua In
curred by the violation of International
obligations. Is It not perfectly obvious
that If this country were to adopt the
policy of Interfering In matters of this
i character It would Invite endless complications -
plications with European powjjrsV The
Connecticut senate a few days ago
adopted a resolution demanding of the
administration at Washington "that
they Insist upon the Immediate hauling
down of the Hrltlsh Hag and the with
drawal of their troops from the repub
lic of Nicaragua , and that said demand
be enforced , If necessary , by American
guns from tin American lleet. " Tills
may have a patriotic ring to some , butte
to those who will calmly consider It
must regard It as ridiculous. Such a
course on the part of this country would
bo tantamount to a declaration of war
ngnlnst Great Hritaln and that would
doubtless mean a long and costly con-
tllct.
tllct.Tlio
Tlio jingo sentiment has become too
prevalent In this country. The Ameri
can people do not want a war with any
nation. The true policy of tlie United
States is to maintain peace and friendly
relations with all the world. We have
a well-dclined policy regarding inde
pendent American countries which
European powers fully understand anil
are disposed to respect , and there is no
reason why wo should go beyond this.

When Tlio Heo gave publicity to the
corrupt deals between South Omaha
gamblers and South Omaha city ollicials
tlie parties Implicated started an inves
tigation which , as naturally was ex
pected , terminated In a whitewash. To
rub the thing In more deeply tlio South
Omaha council dipped its liands into the
ity treasury and paid $200 for tlie pub
lication of the farcical Investigation.
This was really hush money , paid to
an ex-reporter of this paper who had
been discharged for playing Into the
liands of the gang. Inasmuch as this
high-handed piece of olllclal looting only
concerned the Imbecile taxpayers who
had not gumption enough to assert their
rights in tlio courts , The Heo allowed
the incident to pass without comment.
The same is true regarding more recent
appropriations for the benefit of the
blackleg boodle organ which the South
Omaha council has made Its "olllclal"
mouthpiece.
Hut The Heo does not propose to sub
mit tamely to any attempt on the part
of the South Omaha municipal combine
to punish this paper for exposing its
rottenness. Tills is where tlio line will
be drawn pretty sharply , just as It was
In 1S91 when another South OmaJia
council undertook to negative the Slo-
cumb law. The performances of the
South Omaha council at tlielr last two
meetings afford abundant ground for In
voking the power of the courts , and In
this Instance , as was done four years
ago , wo propose not only to test the
right of tlio South Omaha council to
nullify the plain letter of the law , but
also to raise and determine all the in
cidental issues involved.
CIHCUI.ATIUX.
One of the surest indications of im
provement In the Industrial condition of
the country is the demand for increased
bank note circulation. Jjiiring April
tin ? bonds on deposit in tlio treasury
to secure circulating notes wore in
creased about i,000,000 : ! , indicating an
addition to the bank note circulation for
that month of about .fJ.TOO.OOO. It is
stated by treasury officials that the
most marked change was in tlie new 4
per cent bonds , which increased § 1,000-
000 during April , anil in the fl per cent
bonds , wlilch Increased nearly .fl.OOO-
000 In tha same time. Another evi
dence of tlio revival of business activity
Is afforded by tlio applications for au
thority to establish new national banks.
The number of national banks organized
In the United States , which ran as high
as SOT In 1SOO , fell to a minimum during
tlio panic , and many applications for
charters In the spring of 1S)2 ! wore
withdrawn or abandoned. The whole
number of banks organized during the
year covered by tlie last report of the
comptroller of Iho currency , ending Oc
tober 31 , 1SO-J , was only fifty , a smaller
number than in any year since 1879.
Tlio banks organized during the six
months since tlio last report have num
bered fourteen and the applications
pending number thirty-one. It is thus
practically assured that that there will
bo more new national banks organized
this year than last It Is noteworthy
that the southern states make a good
showing In the applications.
From the figures of Increased bank
circulation indicated for April and the
number of applications for new banks
pending It appears probable that In the
current year there will be an addition
to the circulation In the form of bank
currency to the amount of at least
! ? ur > ,000,000 , and It Is more than likely
to exceed this. Whether such an In
crease would Icoep pace with the grow
ing demands of business It is Impossible
to say. Much will depend upon the
extent of the crops. 'Hut It Is to l > e ex
pected that tlie banks will respond to
whatever tlie demand may be. Ono of
the objections , and perhaps the chief
ono , urged against the national bank
ing system is that It does not provide
an elastic currency Increasing and di
minishing according to tlio condition of
business. Hut national bankers are not
as a rule blind to tlielr opportunities ,
and It has not often' happened that they
have been found neglecting a chance to
profit by Increasing their circulation.
It is apparent that they discern such an
opportunity In the near future and that
they are getting ready to Improve It
There could be no better evidence of
returning confidence.

Much surprise lias been created by the
result of the gencr.il election that has Just
taken place In Dtumark. A year ago the
old radical party , which for more than two
score years bad been In constant opposition
to the crown and to thnt government which
King Christian persisted In keeping In office ,
although It possessed no majority In the
FolkthIng , Ecstned to have definitely broken
up. It was everywhere announced that the
constitutional conflict was at an end and
that the country had finally conic to the con
clusion that It was the parliament which
was wrong nnd the monarch right. The re
joicings Instituted In connection with tills
alleged victory now appear to have been
somewhat premature , for the general election
has returned no less than slxty-ono radicals
and socialists , twenty-eight moderate liberals
and only twenty-four conservatives , the lat
ter party being , therefore , practically snowed
under. In view of the fact that King Chris
tian Is the sovereign In Europe most closely
wedded to old-time doctrines of th "right
divine. " ns well ns the most determined
foe of parliamentary Institutions , a conflict
of a serious character may be ntulclp.itcd ,
since it Is scarcely probable that the over
whelming radical majority in the national
legislature will submit any longer to the
defiance by the king of all the rights and
prerogatives conceded to the people by the
national constitution.

It Is said to be the Turkish sultan's Inten

to the Soudan , passing through Gadames
nnd other great trading centers of the desert
wlilch owe their Importance to being situ
ated at the meeting place of converging
caravan routes. Abdul Hamed's Idea In con
nection with the line of raluoad Is not so
much commercial as religious and political ,
since he looks to being enabled thereby to
exercise a more potent Influence than hith
erto upon all that fanatic element of MR-
hometanlEm which In central Africa takes
the form of Mahdlsm. The religious revival
first started by the Scnoussl and then con
tinued by the late Mahdl and by his successor
ser cannot any longer ba Ignored by the
spiritual and temporal chief of the faith ;
and Inasmuch as the headquarters and cen
ter of that revival are In the Soudan It Is
all Imprtant that the padlshah at Constanti
nople should place himself In direct and
rapid communication therewith , even If ho Is
compelled to use the Iron steed of the giaour
In lieu of the dromedary of the true believer.

Many of the Central and South American
states owe large sums In Europe. Nicaragua
owes $1,123,000 to English creditors. The
bonds for this loan were Issued In 1SSC and
draw 6 per cent Interest. Honduras owes
$16,000,000 In England and $11,000,000 In
France , and no Interest has been paid on her
bonds slnco 1872. The arrears of Interest
on Honduras' foreign debt amount to $40-
000,000. Guatemala owes a foreign debt of
more than $5.000.000 , Costa Ulca of $10,000-
000 , and little San Stilvador of $1.350,000 ,
I'nsslng to South America , the Argentine
Republic has a foreign debt of $203.000,000 ,
Brazil of $154,000,000 , Chile $54.000,000 , and
so on through the list. These statements in
clude only foreign debts , and all the states
named have domestic debts , some of them
very large. Their foreign bonds bear 4 and
5 per cent interest and arc held In England ,
Germany and France. No doubt the holders
of them would be very glad to get their
governments to undertake to enforce their
payment with arrears of Interest , but Inter
national law would not permit that to be
done.

Although In debate the socialists In the
French chamber opposed the government bill
for superannuation pensions for working
men , it Is noteworthy that they all voted for
It. The main point of the scheme is the pay
ment of a small annuity to members of ben
efit societies 63 years old whose total income
Is below a certain amount. Commenting
upon the course adopted by the socialists ,
the correspondent of the London Times In
Paris writes : "Tho bill passed with only
two dissentients , the socialists finally having
accepted what throughout they had called a
compromise and contrary to their principles.
The argument of the government that their
plan and tint of M. Bourgeois tended to cul
tivate In the masses the virtue of thrift was
repudiated by M. Leydet and M. Jaures. The
socialists also argued that the mere fact of
a workman's having succeeded In .laying by
money for n rainy dny was no gauge of his
merit , for the great mass of laborers , they
maintained , work In conditions which render
saving Impossible. Thus , It was held , the
government bill cast suspicion on a majority
of the indigent but hard-working masses.
In a word , the socialists urged that society
is bound to support the whole working cliss
when they have reached the limit of activity
and are physically superannuated. A posi
tion so theoretical was evidently beyond the
bounds of practical politics. But the socialists
no doubt stretched the bow further than was
needed to carry the arrow to the mark at
which In reality they aimed. It Is their prac
tice to ask for the whole In order that they
may receive the half , with which they will ,
In reality , be content. Hence the fact that ,
In the end , they wore found voting almost tea
a man for the clauses against which they
had so strenuously pleaded. "

An Interesting experiment In the govern
ment of a native state Is about to bs made
by the British government In the case , of My
sore , whose maliarajah died recently , after
reigning with conspicuous ability for some
years. His representative assembly carried
the elective prlnclpfe In local self-govern
ment further in certain respects than has
been found expedient In other Indian terri
tories. The prime minister , Sir Shearadl
Iyer , believes that It will bo possible during
the long minority of the child heir to con
tinue the government of Mysore on the lib
eral lines which the late prince laid down.
The government of India has accordingly In
stituted for Mysore a government that re
produces on a smalt scale some of the fea
tures of the system of a governor general In
council. By a proclamation Issued at Banga
lore the administration of the state Is vested
In the quen regent and the prime minister ,
assisted by an executive council of three
members , of which the prime minister Is
president. The practical government will
rest with the president In council. His au
thority In regard to the executive council
will correspond to that of the governor general -
oral In the supreme council of India. He
will distribute the worlc of the state govern
ment , assigning to each of his three coun
cillors a special branch , and he will regu
late the business at meetings of the council.
All questions of difficulty or of policy will
be referred to him , and he will decide them
personally or refer them to the full coun
cil , as ho may deem best.

that during his recent visit to Kiel In con

the opening ceremony to bo a popular fes
tival , In the widest sense of the term , with
especial consideration for all classes of his
subjects. The tribunes and pavilions which
had been erected for th ? reception of the
spectators did not appear to him to bo sufil-
clently large , and lie expressed the wish
that more commodious accixmodatlon
should bo provided for the masses , and. If
possible , that there thould b no lack of op
portunities for obtaining refreshment. In ac
cordance with his desire , It was determined
to extend the area originally allotted for the
accommodation of the public.

WASHINGTON , May 3.Dr. . C. Hart Mcr-
riant , chief of the division of ornithology of
the department , has been for * evu1 years
engnpcd In examining and analyzing the con
tents of the stomachs of law Us , owls , crows ,
blackbirds , ineailow larks anil other blrils
of North America which nro suppose ! to bo
specially beneficial or Injurious to the ciups
of fanners. The stomachs of over 7,000 birds
tukcn at different reasons of the year have
been already analyzed and the contents dctor-
mined , whllo 12fluO are still unex.tmlnoJ. The
results in Home cases have been remarkable ,
showing In several nutnblo Instances that
popular Ideas regarding the Injurious effects
of curtain birds wore wholly mistaken , and
that they have bten the victims of an un
just persecution. This lias been found to bo
especially the case with hawka and owls , for
the slaughter of which many states give
bounties. I'cnnsylvivala In two yo.irs g\ve
over $100,000 In hawk and owl bounties MX-
animations of the stomachs of these birds
provo conclusively that OH per cent of tlielr
food was Held mice , Kra . hopponi , rrlckctn ,
etc. , which \vero lnllnlt"ly more- Injurious to
farm crops than thi-y. It \\a * found that
only flvo kinds of hitulu or owls ever touched
poultry and then only to a very limited ex
tent. A bulletin now about Rolng lo press
on the crow also shows that bird not so
black ns he has been palntpl by the farmer * .
The charges aRamst tlio crow wore that ho
ate corn and dcitrojed the rgss of'poultry
and wild birds , Examinations of their stomachs
achs showed that they oat noxious Insects
and other animals , and that although 23 per
cent of their food Is corn , It Is mostly waste
corn picked up In the fall and winter. With
reiard to O KS , It was founl that the shells
were eaten to n very limited extent for the
lime. They eat ants , beetles , caterpillars ,
bugs , butterflies , etc. , which do much dam
age. Ilullctlns arc also being prepared on
the cuckoo and other blackbirds , king birds ,
meadow larks , cedar birds , thrushes , cat
birds , sparrows , etc. In many cases popular
Ideas nro found to bo untrue. In the case of
the king bird , klllcJ by the farmer under the
Impression that It eats bees , it was found
that ho ate only drones and robber Mies ,
which themselves feed on bees and which
destroy more bees In n dny than thp king
bird does In a year. The king bird , therefore ,
Is to be encouraged rather than slaughtered ,
The cuckoos are also found to bo very useful
birds In this country , llecauso the Kiiropean
cuckoo robbed nests and laid therein its own
eggs , popular fancy attributes the snmo vic
ious habit to our wn cuckoo. Ho Is , however ,
not depraved llko his Kuropean namesake ,
but a very decent fellow , who docs much
good In the destruction of Insects.
The result of this work , Dr. Morrlam says ,
will Inure to the protection of beneficial birds
and the destruction of the Injurious ones.
Dr. Mcrrlam is also preparing a map showIng -

that good sense and honesty would prevail.
It seems that the democratic party of the
state , In spite of the advlco of some of the
cnoro reputable members of Its organization ,
has been drunlc with a dcslra for continuance
In power. There can be only one result
of such Injustice , and that the election of a

The appointment of members of the legislature during their terms of office to any state position is a very pernicious practice and should be discouraged even where it does not contravene the constitution. In the first place, neither the governor nor any state officer who has at his disposal any appointment or employment has any right to create vacancies in the legislature. The people elect their representatives for a fixed term and have a right to expect that they will serve to the end of their terms.
An emergency that may require the convening of the legislature may arise at any time and every district should be in condition to have its people represented. In the next place, the appointment of members of the legislature to salaried state positions is demoralizing and tends to corrupt the fountains of legislation. The constitution expressly prohibits members from being interested directly or indirectly in any contract with the state, county, or city authorized by any law passed during the term for which they have been elected or for one year after the expiration of such term. If members of the legislature cannot be interested in a contract under a law passed during their terms they certainly have no right to any office or employment to which a salary is attached.
The prime object of the framers of the constitution evidently was to prevent members of the legislature from becoming beneficiaries of laws enacted by themselves, and Senator Akers' case certainly comes under that rule.
THE INDISCREET SENTIMENT.
American statesmen are notoriously lacking in that reserve, with respect to international issues, which is characteristic of the statesmen of the leading nations of the old world. It would be extremely difficult to induce a member of the British Parliament or the French Chambers, or the German Reichstag, to unbosom himself to a newspaper reporter regarding what the policy of his government should be in an international matter in which his government had a concern or might become involved. Domestic questions they might discuss in the form of interviews with the utmost freedom, but they would decline to express an opinion as to the foreign policy of their countries. It is very different, however, with American senators and representatives. Regardless of the fact that they may have to act in their legislative capacity upon international questions they freely give to the public, when asked, their opinions respecting the course the government should pursue, thus often in advance of an official and detailed knowledge of the facts committing themselves to a policy which later circumstances may show would be unwise and perilous.
Partisan feeling is to no little extent responsible for this, but whatever the motive it is a fact that as a rule our public men are too free in their opinions upon questions affecting our international relations and the duty of our government in respect of such relations. More reserve and discretion in this particular would better comport with the dignity and the duty of public men.
Senator Callum of Illinois is reported as having declared in an interview that England must get away from Nicaragua or there will be war between that country and the United States. This is foolish and reckless talk, which a senator as old in years and in service as Mr. Callum ought to be ashamed of, and which perhaps he will be in view of the fact that the British government has shown that it has no purpose in its dealings with Nicaragua except to obtain the indemnity demanded and which our government has conceded its right to demand. It does not want Nicaraguan territory and that being the case the United States has no excuse or justification for interference. Senator Morgan of Alabama is another who is prepared to involve this country in a war with Great Britain on account of the Nicaragua difficulty. The Alabama senator arraigns England for a persistent course of aggression for a hundred years in every quarter of the globe, which is all true, but which furnishes no warrant for the United States in interfering to prevent the collection of a money indemnity from Nicaragua incurred by the violation of international obligations. Is it not perfectly obvious that if this country were to adopt the policy of interfering in matters of this character it would invite endless complications with European powers? The Connecticut senate a few days ago adopted a resolution demanding of the administration at Washington "that they insist upon the immediate hauling down of the British flag and the withdrawal of their troops from the republic of Nicaragua, and that said demand be enforced, if necessary, by American guns from the American fleet." This may have a patriotic ring to some, but to those who will calmly consider it must regard it as ridiculous. Such a course on the part of this country would be tantamount to a declaration of war against Great Britain and that would doubtless mean a long and costly conflict.
The jingo sentiment has become too prevalent in this country. The American people do not want a war with any nation. The true policy of the United States is to maintain peace and friendly relations with all the world. We have a well-defined policy regarding independent American countries which European powers fully understand and are disposed to respect, and there is no reason why we should go beyond this.
DESPERATE IN STRENGTH.
When The Bee gave publicity to the corrupt deals between South Omaha gamblers and South Omaha city officials, the parties implicated started an investigation which, as naturally was expected, terminated in a whitewash. To rub the thing in more deeply the South Omaha council dipped its hands into the city treasury and paid $200 for the publication of the farcical investigation. This was really hush money, paid to an ex-reporter of this paper who had been discharged for playing into the hands of the gang. Inasmuch as this high-handed piece of official looting only concerned the imbecile taxpayers who had not gumption enough to assert their rights in the courts, The Bee allowed the incident to pass without comment.
The same is true regarding more recent appropriations for the benefit of the blackleg boodle organ which the South Omaha council has made its "official" mouthpiece.
But The Bee does not propose to submit tamely to any attempt on the part of the South Omaha municipal combine to punish this paper for exposing its rottenness. This is where the line will be drawn pretty sharply, just as it was in 1891 when another South Omaha council undertook to negative the Scofield law. The performances of the South Omaha council at their last two meetings afford abundant ground for invoking the power of the courts, and in this instance, as was done four years ago, we propose not only to test the right of the South Omaha council to nullify the plain letter of the law, but also to raise and determine all the incidental issues involved.
IMPROVEMENT.
One of the surest indications of improvement in the industrial condition of the country is the demand for increased bank note circulation. During April the bonds on deposit in the treasury to secure circulating notes were increased about 1,000,000, indicating an addition to the bank note circulation for that month of about $1,000,000. It is stated by treasury officials that the most marked change was in the new 4 percent bonds, which increased $1,000,000 during April, and in the 5 percent bonds, which increased nearly $1,000,000 in the same time. Another evidence of the revival of business activity is afforded by the applications for authority to establish new national banks. The number of national banks organized in the United States, which ran as high as 500 in 1880, fell to a minimum during the panic, and many applications for charters in the spring of 1882 were withdrawn or abandoned. The whole number of banks organized during the year covered by the last report of the comptroller of the currency, ending October 31, 1882, was only fifty, a smaller number than in any year since 1879.
The banks organized during the six months since the last report have numbered fourteen and the applications pending number thirty-one. It is thus practically assured that there will be more new national banks organized this year than last. It is noteworthy that the southern states make a good showing in the applications.
From the figures of increased bank circulation indicated for April and the number of applications for new banks pending, it appears probable that in the current year there will be an addition to the circulation in the form of bank currency to the amount of at least $100,000,000, and it is more than likely to exceed this. Whether such an increase would keep pace with the growing demands of business it is impossible to say. Much will depend upon the extent of the crops. But it is to be expected that the banks will respond to whatever the demand may be. One of the objections, and perhaps the chief one, urged against the national banking system is that it does not provide an elastic currency increasing and diminishing according to the condition of business. But national bankers are not as a rule blind to their opportunities, and it has not often happened that they have been found neglecting a chance to profit by increasing their circulation. It is apparent that they discern such an opportunity in the near future and that they are getting ready to improve it. There could be no better evidence of returning confidence.
Two new appointments to the office force just made by Land Commissioner Russell give a glimpse of the inside workings of practical partisan politics. Of the three changes made in the list of employees, one is for the benefit of the son of M.J. Abbott, a prominent candidate before the last Republican state convention for the nomination for commissioner of public lands and buildings, the other for the benefit of the daughter of Jacob Bigler, the man who sacrificed himself as a candidate for the same position on the ticket put up by the rump convention of alleged straight democrats. Of course, no one will maintain for a moment that either of these appointments treats the results of political trades. No Republican so deep-dyed with partisanship as Mr. Russell claims to be would be guilty of putting a democrat in office in return for the candidacy of a straw man to divide his opponent's strength.
Army gossips in Washington are already figuring on the promotion of General Slocum over General Miles to the vacancy in the lieutenant generalship of the army to be created by the retirement of General Scholzeld in September, in case congress gives the necessary authority for the continuance of that rank. But congress is likely to do no such thing. The next congress will be overwhelmingly Republican and if another lieutenant general is to be appointed the appointment will more probably fall to President Cleveland's successor.
The local fire insurance agents have announced that their offices will be closed a half day each Saturday during the summer. Inasmuch as their business seeks them rather than they seek their business, the inconvenience, if any, will be wholly that of the public.

When Mr. Crisp demands the nomination of a western man with a war record, he undoubtedly has in mind that critical occasion when Colonel Watterson proposed to move on Washington with 60,000 armed Kentuckians.
Clinton and Third Term.
New York Tribune.
No man who truly loves Grover Cleveland for the enemies he has made will take any part in the effort to nominate him for a third term. None but an enemy could desire that Mr. Cleveland should be chosen to face the cyclonic storm of popular wrath which awaits the democratic nominee in 1896.
United Express.
A leading Nicaraguan statesman is quoted in a dispatch to the New York Herald as saying: "Weak and small as our nation is, we have shown more courage than the United States, who encouraged us, only to desert us at the last moment." There's the rub. The United States encouraged the Nicaraguans only to desert them when the critical moment came. If the administration had assumed its present policy of non-interference at the outset and stuck to it, it would have been all right.
Whether it is to Japan's best interests to refuse to submit to Russian interference in her dealings with China may be open to question, but no one can help admiring the pluck and self-reliance she displays in daring to risk even the possibility of a war with so powerful a nation as Russia. Her action in this matter is the most potent indication we have yet had of Japan's rise in importance as a nation and a belligerent power. A year ago for her to do anything but meekly acquiesce would have been considered nothing short of barbaric.
It now appears that he (Ambassador Bayard) favors the acquisition by England of a right of joint ownership and control in that great commercial highway, and we are justified in assuming that the administration approves his plan. In that view of the matter, therefore, it is easy to understand our government's amiable acquiescence in the seizure of Corinth, for that is only a step in the direction both governments intend to pursue. As might have been expected, with Mr. Bayard in charge of American interests, England has the advantage, for if she continues to hold the western end of the canal she can at any moment, from her base in British Honduras, seize and control the eastern end also, thus making her possession complete.
All Europe seems to be interested in the revival of the Olympic games near Athens next year. Recently a wealthy Greek of Alexandria has offered 600,000 drachmas (about $100,000) for the restoration of the ancient race course. Cornell, which aims at international athletic prowess, should send a competing team.
Mrs. Joseph J. Underbill, now an inmate of a Home for Destitute Women and Children at Brooklyn, was left $100,000 in 1871, and at that time was a recognized society leader. She lost heavily in the panic of 1873, and, being forced into the boarding house business, lost all she had left in the Hotel Regents fire last May.
A great many people are laboring under a grievous delusion as to the real cause of hard times. In silver circles, the cause is traced to the "crime of '73," while others point to the drought of '94. Both are mistaken. Two eminent clergymen of this section, possessing the gift of superior hindsight, trace all the ills that afflict us to the circumstance that the World's fair was kept open on Sundays. That ends the argument. Repent and be saved.
The Louisville Courier-Journal quoted scripture against certain mannish costumes affected by advanced women, but the particular passage was vague and unsatisfactory in the application. Much more explicit is the following from Ezekiel xi, 18-20: "Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the women that sew pillows to their armholes. Behold, I am against your pillows, and will tear them from your arms." It is held in theological circles that when Ezekiel wrote this he saw in the dim future the craze for puffed sleeves.

Much surprise has been created by the result of the general election that has just taken place in Denmark. A year ago the old radical party, which for more than two score years had been in constant opposition to the crown and to that government which King Christian persisted in keeping in office, although it possessed no majority in the Folketing, seemed to have definitely broken up. It was everywhere announced that the constitutional conflict was at an end and that the country had finally come to the conclusion that it was the parliament which was wrong and the monarch right. The rejoicings instituted in connection with this alleged victory now appear to have been somewhat premature, for the general election has returned no less than sixty-one radicals and socialists, twenty-eight moderate liberals, and only twenty-four conservatives, the latter party being, therefore, practically snowed under. In view of the fact that King Christian is the sovereign in Europe most closely wedded to old-time doctrines of the "right divine," as well as the most determined foe of parliamentary institutions, a conflict of a serious character may be anticipated, since it is scarcely probable that the overwhelming radical majority in the national legislature will submit any longer to the defiance by the king of all the rights and prerogatives conceded to the people by the national constitution.
It is said to be the Turkish sultan's intention to construct a railroad which, starting from Tripoli, is to be prolonged gradually to the Soudan, passing through Gadamse and other great trading centers of the desert which owe their importance to being situated at the meeting place of converging caravan routes. Abdul Hamid's idea in connection with the line of railroad is not so much commercial as religious and political, since he looks to being enabled thereby to exercise a more potent influence than hitherto upon all that fanatic element of Mohammedanism which in central Africa takes the form of Mahdism. The religious revival first started by the Sheikhs and then continued by the late Mahdi and by his successor cannot any longer be ignored by the spiritual and temporal chief of the faith; and inasmuch as the headquarters and center of that revival are in the Soudan, it is all important that the padishah at Constantinople should place himself in direct and rapid communication therewith, even if he is compelled to use the iron steed of the giaour in lieu of the dromedary of the true believer. Surveys are now being rapidly pushed forward for the construction of the road and steps are also being taken for deepening the approaches to the port of Tripoli.
Many of the Central and South American states owe large sums in Europe. Nicaragua owes $1,123,000 to English creditors. The bonds for this loan were issued in 1885 and draw 6 percent interest. Honduras owes $16,000,000 in England and $11,000,000 in France, and no interest has been paid on her bonds since 1872. The arrears of interest on Honduras' foreign debt amount to $40,000,000. Guatemala owes a foreign debt of more than $5,000,000, Costa Rica of $10,000,000, and little San Salvador of $1,350,000. Passing to South America, the Argentine Republic has a foreign debt of $203,000,000, Brazil of $154,000,000, Chile $54,000,000, and so on through the list. These statements include only foreign debts, and all the states named have domestic debts, some of them very large. Their foreign bonds bear 4 and 5 percent interest and are held in England, Germany, and France. No doubt the holders of them would be very glad to get their governments to undertake to enforce their payment with arrears of interest, but international law would not permit that to be done.
Although in debate, the socialists in the French chamber opposed the government bill for superannuation pensions for working men, it is noteworthy that they all voted for it. The main point of the scheme is the payment of a small annuity to members of benefit societies 63 years old whose total income is below a certain amount. Commenting upon the course adopted by the socialists, the correspondent of the London Times in Paris writes: "The bill passed with only two dissentients, the socialists finally having accepted what throughout they had called a compromise and contrary to their principles. The argument of the government that their plan and that of M. Bourgeois tended to cultivate in the masses the virtue of thrift was repudiated by M. Leydet and M. Jaures. The socialists also argued that the mere fact of a workman's having succeeded in laying by money for a rainy day was no gauge of his merit, for the great mass of laborers, they maintained, work in conditions which render saving impossible. Thus, it was held, the government bill cast suspicion on a majority of the indigent but hard-working masses. In a word, the socialists urged that society is bound to support the whole working class when they have reached the limit of activity and are physically superannuated. A position so theoretical was evidently beyond the bounds of practical politics. But the socialists no doubt stretched the bow further than was needed to carry the arrow to the mark at which in reality they aimed. It is their practice to ask for the whole in order that they may receive the half, with which they will, in reality, be content. Hence the fact that, in the end, they were found voting almost en masse for the clauses against which they had so strenuously pleaded."
An interesting experiment in the government of a native state is about to be made by the British government in the case of Mysore, whose maharajah died recently, after reigning with conspicuous ability for some years. His representative assembly carried the elective principle in local self-government further in certain respects than has been found expedient in other Indian territories. The prime minister, Sir Shearling Iyer, believes that it will be possible during the long minority of the child heir to continue the government of Mysore on the liberal lines which the late prince laid down. The government of India has accordingly instituted for Mysore a government that reproduces on a small scale some of the features of the system of a governor-general in council. By a proclamation issued at Bangalore, the administration of the state is vested in the queen regent and the prime minister, assisted by an executive council of three members, of which the prime minister is president. The practical government will rest with the president in council. His authority in regard to the executive council will correspond to that of the governor-general in the supreme council of India. He will distribute the work of the state government, assigning to each of his three counselors a special branch, and he will regulate the business at meetings of the council. All questions of difficulty or of policy will be referred to him, and he will decide them personally or refer them to the full council, as he may deem best.
The German emperor, wilful as he is, is not altogether incapable of learning a lesson.
It is evident that the bitter feeling manifested after the opening of the new Reichstag building at the omission of the superscription to "the German People" made a lasting impression upon him. It is reported that during his recent visit to Kiel in connection with the opening of the Baltic ship canal, he remarked repeatedly that he wished the opening ceremony to be a popular festival, in the widest sense of the term, with especial consideration for all classes of his subjects. The tribunes and pavilions which had been erected for the reception of the spectators did not appear to him to be sufficiently large, and he expressed the wish that more commodious accommodations should be provided for the masses, and, if possible, that there should be no lack of opportunities for obtaining refreshment. In accordance with his desire, it was determined to extend the area originally allotted for the accommodation of the public.

WASHINGTON, May 3. Dr. C. Hart Merriam, chief of the division of ornithology of the department, has been for several years engaged in examining and analyzing the contents of the stomachs of hawks, owls, crows, blackbirds, meadowlarks, and other birds of North America which are supposed to be especially beneficial or injurious to the crops of farmers. The stomachs of over 7,000 birds have been already analyzed and the contents determined, while 12,000 are still unexamined. The results in some cases have been remarkable, showing in several notable instances that popular ideas regarding the injurious effects of certain birds were wholly mistaken, and that they have been the victims of an unjust persecution. This has been found to be especially the case with hawks and owls, for the slaughter of which many states give bounties. Pennsylvania, in two years, gave over $100,000 in hawk and owl bounties. Animations of the stomachs of these birds prove conclusively that over 90 percent of their food was field mice, grubs, hoppers, etc., which were undoubtedly more injurious to farm crops than they. It was found that only five kinds of hawks or owls ever touched poultry and then only to a very limited extent. A bulletin now about to be issued on the crow also shows that bird not so black as he has been painted by the farmers. The charges against the crow were that he ate corn and destroyed the eggs of poultry and wild birds, examinations of their stomachs showed that they ate noxious insects and other animals, and that although 23 percent of their food is corn, it is mostly waste corn picked up in the fall and winter. With regard to OSTRICHES, it was found that the shells were eaten to a very limited extent for the lime. They eat ants, beetles, caterpillars, bugs, butterflies, etc., which do much damage. Bullions are also being prepared on the cuckoo and other blackbirds, kingbirds, meadowlarks, cedar birds, thrushes, catbirds, sparrows, etc. In many cases, popular ideas are found to be untrue. In the case of the kingbird, killed by the farmer under the impression that it eats bees, it was found that it ate only drones and robber flies, which themselves feed on bees and which destroy more bees in a day than the kingbird does in a year. The kingbird, therefore, is to be encouraged rather than slaughtered. The cuckoos are also found to be very useful birds in this country, because the European cuckoo robbed nests and laid therein its own eggs, popular fancy attributes the same vicious habit to our own cuckoo. However, it is not depraved like its European namesake, but a very decent fellow, who does much good in the destruction of insects.
The result of this work, Dr. Merriam says, will tend to the protection of beneficial birds and the destruction of the injurious ones. Dr. Merriam is also preparing a map showing the life zones of the United States for birds, reptiles, and plants, a work in which he has been engaged for years.
Acquitted of the Murder of Edward P. Illlard.
CHICAGO, May 3. Henry C. Hastings, the milkman who has been on trial for the murder of Edward P. Illlard, was acquitted today. While the finding was that he had killed the lawyer, yet the jury declared that the prisoner was not guilty of murder, that he was insane when he shot Illlard and has not recovered from his insanity. Hastings claimed that Illlard had driven him to desperation because of money he owed the lawyer.
The Trials of Turney.
Chicago Tribune: Having his title to the governorship of Tennessee duly confirmed, Hon. Peter Turney lacks nothing now but the respect of his fellow citizens.
New York Independent: Robbery, shameless robbery, is the act by which the democratic legislature of Tennessee has secured for Peter Turney the governorship of that state.
Philadelphia Times: This will be an easily won victory for the democrats of Tennessee. It is not an honest one, nor was it obtained by honest methods. There is little or no pretense that fraud swelled the vote of Ekins, but a technical, plea is seized upon and manipulated by the majority committee to make it produce the results desired and a tainted democratic victory is thus achieved.
New York Tribune: A more impudent piece of political deviltry and a more malign attack upon constitutional law and republican institutions never has been made in this country, not even by Maynard, the Thief. It will, however, probably succeed for the time being, and Peter Turney will be the fraudulent governor of Tennessee for a couple of years. But we made one mistake above. We said the final settlement of the case will be made today. The final settlement will be made at the next election and it will take the form of a republican majority too big for even Peter Turney and his rascally backers to override.
Cincinnati Commercial: Tennessee has disgraced itself by declaring Turney elected governor by a plurality of 238. The name of the state is tarnished by this unjust and partisan act of the democratic legislature. It was what was expected, but there has always been a hope, a faint one, to be sure, that good sense and honesty would prevail. It seems that the democratic party of the state, in spite of the advice of some of its more reputable members of its organization, has been drunk with a desire for continuance in power. There can be only one result of such injustice, and that is the election of a republican governor and legislature next time.

A Quakeress, demure and stand, a modest, sweet, old-fashioned maid. (I met her at a convention) So different from the crowd. To lose my heart did not take long. A siren, on the yellow sands, bewitching all upon those strands; strong spells she wove with her white hands. No stronger than other men, I straightway lost my heart again.

A Society women often feel the effect of too much gaiety balls, theatres, and teas in rapid succession find them worn out, or "run-down" by the end of the season. They suffer from nervousness, sleeplessness and irregularities. The smile and good spirits take flight. It is time to accept the help offered in Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It's a medicine which was discovered and used by a prominent physician for many years in all cases of female complaint and the nervous disorders which arise from it. The "Prescription" is a powerful uterine tonic and nervine, especially adapted to woman's delicate wants for it regulates and promotes all the natural functions, builds up, invigorates and cures. Many women suffer from nervous prostration, or exhaustion, owing to congestion or to disorder of the special functions. The waste products should be quickly got rid of, the local source of irritation relieved and the system invigorated with the "Prescription." Do not take the so-called celery compounds, and nervines which, only put the nerves to sleep, but get a lasting cure with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. HEALTH WEAKNESS.

ItNTOLN , May 3 ( Special ) AUornejs
consumed the greater rortlon of the day In
the case of the state .against Hill and others
in arguing the question ot the admission of
the depository bond of the Capital National
bank lu evidence. As the case progressed It
jrows ; moie nnd more evident that the caie
nt Inr la one of the greatest and most far
rcj'-liliiB in Its results of any which lias ever
li pn prenented to the courts. Had the state
e1 i.fititory law been repealed It v.ould liavo
| K I moro so. The decision of the Jury In
this trial , and the charge ot the court , will
eeltlo the n"t"tlon whether or not 11 state or
cou-ity ncasurer , who In the rant has depos
ited mciicy In banks , has been guilty ot n
felony. It Is claimed by the.stite In tills trial
that ho Is. Ily the defence It Is claimed that
lie IB not , but has by custom from time Itn-
m-'morlnl been entitled to do so and draw the
intercAt thfrcon. The state IB relying on the
decision of the supreme court ot Nebraska ID
the Cedar county case
Attorney Ames tor the defense continued
his argument this niornlim In favor of ad
mitting the Capital National bank's depos
itory bond In cvldenc" . Ho said that ho
regarded this case as the most Important
one that had ever been tried In tlio state
of Nebraska. Should the defense tie sus
tained none would be Injured Ot $280 000-
000 of assessment , the amount Involved
though apparently large , was not two-tenths
of 1 per c nt , or less than 20 cents In $100
But should the state pravall a number
of Just as good cltl/ens as the court or him
self would bo Irretrevlably ruined. Depart
ing from the principal point In Issue , the
argument of Mr Ames became quite general
In character and scope. Ho quoted from
Colorado reports a decision whTeln a county
treasurer was held to ba simply a bailee ,
subject only to the law of bailments and
only llnhlo under the law , unless otherwise
prov iflod by special statute.
HKsi'ONSiniLiTins or TnnAsunniis
The attorney directed attention to the fact
that the bond of e\-Treasur'r Hill only men-
t'oned ' him as state treasurer nnd did not
rocogni/e him In any other way than in lila
official capacity Ho read from Minnesota
repirts n case In St Louis county In which
n draft had been drav.n upon the state treas
urer for $200,000 The state treasurer had
accepted the draft and forwarded to the
oniclal n check for the amount. The official
liatl failed to present the cheek before the
bank In which was deposited the fund , hail
fallel The county official sued the state
treasurer for the amount , but the courts
liad held that the state treasurer had con
ducted the affair In a business like manner
and was not liable Other decisions were
read by the attorney holding that count ) anil
stale treasurers were bailees for hire ami
that It was Incumbent upon them to conduct
their business only In the usual order ol

The counsel closed with the .statement tlia

Imnlcs was a matter of public law and pul.ll
notoriety It had been llio custom of stat <
and county treasurers ever since the state hai

the state had desired to change this puWl
law they would have said so through the !

IMPOHTANCn OF BOND TO DEfENSE.
Mr Whecdon followed Ames for the de
ft use. Ho said that the question at Issu
xv as the Introduction of the depository bond o
the Capital National bank as evidence. H
Iroad the depository law ot the state Mr
.Wheedon claimed that , If given an opportun
Jty , the dofeiiso would show that ot all th
moneys deposited by Treasurer Hill nil hai
been applied to uses ot the state save the sun
of $236,000 , and If given a chance , by the ad
mission of the depository bond , the defcns
would show that even that money had be
nppllel to uses of the stato. Under the de
posltory law , If the atato treasurer did no
put the money In a depository designated b
the state , ho was liable to a fine of (5,00 (
Milt It had been put there , and now the slat

counsel the position of the state appcarel t

lepoalted , but objecfd to any testimony show
Ing the contrary to bo the fact By way c

what right had the governor and ottorne
renoral to go to the treasurer nnd ask him fo
Fhls money without presentlnc a warrant Th
constitution provided that no money shoul
bo paid out ot the treasury except on a vai
rant drawn by the state auditor But suppos
they had such warrant , what then" * It vva

At this point court adjourned until 2 p n
WHAT IS MONEY ?
Mr Wheedon resumed his argument 1
the afternoon. Counsel dwelt for some tlu
upon the definition of the word "money
He held that In the transfer between Wl
Jard and Hill and Hartley the settlemei
had been made In current fund * , which I
nil commercial transactions was recognized i
money. Tbo state rested their case upon tl
pica that depositing money In banks by atal
and county treasurers was a felony , Tliei
was not a man within the sound ot tl
counsel's voice who , It that was the law I
ba enforced , would render personal servh
for which he was to bo paid In a check draw
by the utato treasurer , thereby becoming-
accessory to a crime ,
Tha depository bond , which tha defcns
sought to Introduce In evidence , was ai
proved by Governor Crounso and Secretary c
State Alton on th14th of January , 1S93 ,
he very day on which Hill vacated and
lartler assumed the office of state treasurer ,
ilr. Wheedon held that. In the face ot cua-
om , established policy and practice , the old
aw against state treasurers depositing state
noney In banks had become obsolete. It had
icen cuttom from time Immemorial to de
posit money In banks , anil If that was to be
changed Mr. HIM should have been given
nctlco to that effect. Alter these certificates
of deposit had been received by the state
rom Hill and deposited In a bank to the
amount of $283.000 , the sum of f40.000 was
Irawn out and applied to payment of state
debti
"Now , " said Mr. Wheedon , warming up.
'I a < k your honors how a state treasurer
shall pay money out on the public school
apportionment ? Shall he go to each county
reasurcr , and Individually , or by deputy ,
pay over the counters of those treasurers
, he cash In gold , or silver , or greenbacks , ci
national bank notes ? What does he do ? Hi
draws a check and malls It to the county
.reasurer , and , according to the counsel foi
he state , he becomes a felon In so doing ,
jecause he has deposited the state money Ir
i bank before ho could chock against the

same
Mr Wheedon read a long decision from
Wisconsin reports In which , under a mosl
stringent law against the deposit of state
funds by treasurers In banks , a proserutlor
against ono treasurer had fallen through , tin
court Imldlng that the practice of thirty
years had created a public policy whlcr
xonerated the stale treasurer The case
as the state of Wisconsin against Mcl'et
fridge The law at that tlmo demanded
hat the state funds should be kept In the
vaults of the state treasurer , and It was
obligatory upon him to pay out the IdrnUca
olns or pieces of money which ha received
The court had held that this construction o ;
llio law was too narrow.
Counsel did not believe the legislature o
Lhls state had ever Intended to legislate ti
the effect Hint money belonging to the stati
should be kept In the vault of the stall
treasurer's office In the capltol building , nnt
: hat tlio same currency should be paid out
that had been paid In.
"This court has held so , " said Judgi
Wakeley.
"I do not l > lleve It , " responded Mr
Wheedon "I do not believe this court ha !
ever ruled so , I do not believe It will rule si
In the case at bar. "
Counsel said that the supreme court o
Wisconsin , In the face of a most strlngen
law , had held that st.ato money on deposl
was money In the state treasury Mr
Wheedon admitted that the supreme cour
of Nebraska had made a ruling on this point
Hut ho did not believe the case had bcon i
parallel of this one. Two Missouri case
wore cited. In ono the treasurer ot thi
state had sort a county treasurer a choc )
on a St. Louis bank for $3OOS. For fortj
days the county treasurer held the checl
without presentation. In fact , he never die
present It at the bank. Meanwhile the St
Louis bank failed It had been held tha
the county treasurer could not recovr fron
the state treasurer on account ot his owi
negligence The other one was a case li
which a taxpayer had given tha collecto :
a check for his taxes The collector did no
present It. The bank failed and the collecto
returned the taxpayer a delinquent Cour
hold that the collector could not recover , a :
the taxpayer had done his duty and the col
lector had neglected his
. \bandonlng the state reports , Mr. Wheedoi
turned his attention to application of them ti
the case at bar He said that so long as th
state was drawing out $49,000 from the Cap
Ital National bank not a word of complain
had been heard. But when the bank ha <
failed , from that moment the state tried ti
draw a line between the deposit of the moue ;
and the failure.
BEHIND THE DEPOSITORY LAW.
General John C Cowln for the defense foi
lowed Mr Wheedon. He'said that ho ills
liked to add five minutes of tlmo to the ills
cusslon of this case , but as an attorney hewed
owed a duty to his clients. The defendant
Hill , had gone out of office without a stall
upon his private or official character To
years , ever slnco the organization of th
state , every state officer had received his pa ;
In a check on some bank. Tor twenty-sovei
years each legislature had met , and not i
word of protest against this method of con
ducting public business had been heard
There was no question at Issue whether th
Capital National was solvent or Insolvent a
the time Hill went out ot office. It hai
failed subsequent to that time , and It ha
been made a depository , and Its bond ha
been accepted the day that Hill had turne
over the office of state treasurer to Bartlej
fudge Wnkclcy had said that the breach o
law had occurred when Hill had put th
money In the Capital National bank Th !
was a suit for damages against the bonds
men of Hill. Where had the damages oc
currcd' Suppose that when Bartley had re
celved the certificates of deposit for $285.00
ho had tued the bank for the amount , an
suppose the bank had confessed judgment
paid the money Into court , and the com
had paid It to Hartley , what would have bee
the duty of Hartley In that case' Under th
law , the bank having been made a depos
Itory , It would have been obligatory on hlr
to have paid It all back into the same bani
What position then , would the state hav
been In7What would have been the dlffet
enco between Hill In that case nnd In th
present' General Cowln held that ther
would have been none at all In cither caa
ho was innocent ot any criminal compllcltj
The officers ot the state had approved the de
posltory bond , and the bank was entitled t
the money , as It was the only depository 1
the state at that time The state got it
money , all that the law provided
Mr. Illnakor , succeeding General Cowlt
said that , as he understood the case , the stat
held that all damage had accrue ! at the tlm
Hill had put the money In the broken bank.
"Suppose , for Illustration , Hill had nc
turned over actual money , but In It
stead had given Bartley a lump of gold bul
lion worth by assay and In the market $283
000. Suppose ! that Bartloy had t.lten this bu
lion to the bank and the bank had accopte
It for $285.000 , given the state a credit o
Its books for that amount , and had the
failed. Judge Wakeley would have then com
In and Interposed the objection that technics
money had not been turned over Would h
then liavo been sustained by the court ?
think not. But at this time Judge Wakele
could claim that gold bullion was not tunic
over. But Its equivalent had been turne
over when the bank gave the state cred
on tta books for $285,000 The fact was th
consideration for which the bank gave crod
was $285,000. There can be no questlo
about that "
WHAT THE STATE CONTKNDS.
At 4 15 Mr. Lambertson , for the state , sal
ho would not go Into a longhtly discussion (
tha authorities cited by the defense , but
the court would examine them It would fin
that In each case the moneys In banks wei
all put there under the laws of the state I
which the transactions were coruummatci
But the contention of the state In the cas
at bar was that under the law of Nebrask
the m'nuto ' mil put any state money I
bank It was , under that law , a converslo
and Hill became liable to penal punlshmen
This court had so held In the past. Had HI
left the state's money In the state's vault , an
had It been lexst through no negligence <
his own , ho wouU not have been liable Th :
was the exact distinction between the cast
cited by the- defense and the case at bar.
The state could produce numerous author
ties to sustain ittelf. but why was It necei
sary when this very court had held wit
them'Mr Larnbertson said that custom coul
not override law. The defense had spoke
plausibly , but custom was outside of law , J
the case ot the state ot Wisconsin agatni
McPottrldgo all that had been decided w ;
that the state was not entitled to Intore
thereon. A suit had been brought to rccovi
Interest , and the court had hold that , as thei
was no law authorizing state money to 1
placed In banks at Interest , it could not co
lect Interest thereon. If the court wou
e xamlno the various statutes ot this sta
It would notice an absence of any referem
to checks , drafts , certificates of deposl
Nothing U mentioned but actual mone
There was n variance In the positions a
sumc-d by the defense. In one Instance the
claim the bondsmen are not liable becaui
money was not received , only certificates i
deposit. In another Instance they claim tin
these certificates were actual money , tl
equivalent of money , the equivalent of go
bullion
In citing the Cedar county case again M
Lambertson read to the effect that the si
premo court had held that It would bo
strange anomaly for a defendant to pie ;
a felony In bar of prosecution tor damage
The attorney applied this to the Hill cac
and said
"U would be a strange anomaly In la
that Hill could plead , as his counsel d
plead , a felony for which he could ba pu
Ished In bar of a suit for damages again
him and his bondsmen "
The ona sharp question , counsel urged ,
be decided by the court was the bond
Moshcr et al. , many of them Insolvent i
tha time It was made , to bo Introduced as a
u > fens agalnit the bondsmen of John E.
Hill From the Gth of January until the 14th
these certificates had been held without any
action being taken on them. This , In Itself ,
was rather strange. The depository law ,
couniel held , was a trifle ambiguous , be
cause that while It provided that the treas
urer should deposit money la banks It did
not say who was to be the Judge of the re
liability of the bank But at any rate no
money could be deposited until a bond had
been approved Again the law rays the
state treasurer shall deposit money In state
depositories , but Bartley Ind no actual
money to deposit. He only had certificates of
deposit
"I venture to say , " sakl Mr Lambertson ,
that had Hartley had $285.000 In cash he
would not have put It In the Capital Na
tional bank Why , the very first draft of
$35,000 broke the bank That Is the evi
dence Had Bartley taken $2S5 000 In money
and given to the bank I believe he could
have checked It alt out and never have lost
a dollar The bank didn't have the money
when It Issued the certificates ot deposit and
was Insolvent. "
The court hero gave notice ot adjournment
until S a m tomorrow. Intimating that there
would bo no session In the afternoon

STILL STOCK ON THE
Day in the Hill Casino Spent in Arguing Its
Admissibility in Evidence.
DEFENSE OUTLINES A GREAT DANGER
Bets Up the argument that it will hold reason Re *
Holding > to James every State and
I contend that Troubles encroach irreversibly upon it.
RHEOSTYLE, May 3 (Special) Attorneys consumed the greater portion of the day in
the case of the state against Hill and others
in arguing the question of the admission of
the depository bond of the Capital National
bank in evidence. As the case progressed, it
grows more and more evident that the case
at issue is one of the greatest and most far
reaching in its results of any which has ever
been presented to the courts. Had the state
existing law been repealed, it would have
been more so. The decision of the jury in
this trial, and the charge of the court, will
settle the notion whether or not a state or
county treasurer, who in the grant has deposited money in banks, has been guilty of a
felony. It is claimed by the state in this trial
that he is, by the defense it is claimed that
he is not, but has by custom from time immemorial been entitled to do so and draw the interest thereby. The state is relying on the
decision of the supreme court of Nebraska in
the Cedar county case.
Attorney Ames for the defense continued
his argument this morning in favor of admitting the Capital National bank's depository bond in evidence.
He said that he regarded this case as the most important
one that had ever been tried in the state
of Nebraska. Should the defense be sustained, none would be injured out of $280,000,000 of assessment, the amount involved
though apparently large, was not two-tenths
of 1 percent, or less than 20 cents in $100.
But should the state prevail, a number of just as good citizens as the court or himself would be irretrievably ruined. Departing from the principal point in issue, the argument of Mr. Ames became quite general in character and scope. He quoted from Colorado reports a decision which held a county treasurer was held to be simply a bailee,
subject only to the law of bailments and
only liable under the law, unless otherwise
provided by special statute.
HESSSION in the TRANSCRIPT
The attorney directed attention to the fact
that the bond of ex-Treasurer Hill only mentioned him as state treasurer and did not
recognize him in any other way than in his
official capacity. He read from Minnesota
reports a case in St. Louis county in which
a draft had been drawn upon the state treasurer for $200,000. The state treasurer had
accepted the draft and forwarded to the
official a check for the amount. The official
had failed to present the check before the
bank in which was deposited the funds, had
fallen. The county official sued the state
treasurer for the amount, but the courts
had held that the state treasurer had conducted the affair in a businesslike manner
and was not liable. Other decisions were
read by the attorney holding that county and
state treasurers were bailees for hire and
that it was incumbent upon them to conduct
their business only in the usual order of
business. He is charged with responsibility
for the funds in his care and so long as he
exercises no custody over them except in his
official capacity, so long as he does not convert
them to his own use or deposit them
in his own name, he is not liable for loss.
In the case of Comstock against Gage
ninety-seventh Illinois, Treasurer Gage had
been prosecuted for placing money in a bank,
it being alleged by plaintiff that the treasurer had loaned the money. Court had held that while it may have been technically
construed as a loan, it was not such under the statute and that the treasurer was not
liable for criminal prosecution where the
penalty was penal servitude. If the defendant in the case at bar, Ames contended,
could be prosecuted criminally for depositing
money in a bank, there was not a county
treasurer in the state who was not liable
to the same conviction. But the attorney
paid he would cheerfully take all such cases
and bring them to this court with a firm
belief of success in defending them. A
Pennsylvania case was cited in which money
of a trustee was placed in a bank at a small
rate of interest. The money had been lost
but the court held the trustee not liable
as had he not deposited in some bank which
to be believed safe, but had continued to keep
a large sum about the person of the trustee,
he would have been negligent and guilty of
improper conduct of the affairs of the estate.
The counsel closed with the statement that
the practice of depositing public funds in banks
was a matter of public law and popular
notoriety. It had been the custom of state
and county treasurers ever since the state had
come into the union in 1867. If the people of
the state had desired to change this public
law, they would have said so through the
legislative body. So far as they had legislated
upon the subject, it had been in the line of
permitting such deposits under certain restrictions.
IMPORTANCE OF BOND TO DEFENSE.
Mr. Wheedon followed Ames for the defense.
He said that the question at issue was the
introduction of the depository bond of the
Capital National bank as evidence. He broad
the depository law of the state. Mr.
Wheedon claimed that, if given an opportunity,
the defense would show that of all the moneys
deposited by Treasurer Hill all had been
applied to uses of the state save the sum of
$236,000, and if given a chance, by the admission
of the depository bond, the defense would show that even that money had been
applied to uses of the state. Under the depository
law, if the state treasurer did not put the money
in a depository designated by the state, he was liable to a fine of $5,000.
It had been put there, and now the state sought to bar all evidence of that fact. To the
counsel, the position of the state appeared to be this: It desired the privilege of showing
that money of the state had been illegally
deposited, but objected to any testimony showing
the contrary to be the fact. By way of
hypothetical illustration, Mr. Wheedon asked,
what right had the governor and attorney
general to go to the treasurer and ask him for
this money without presenting a warrant? The
constitution provided that no money should be
paid out of the treasury except on a warrant
drawn by the state auditor. But suppose they
had such a warrant, what then? It was the duty
of the treasurer to pay this warrant by a check
on the depository, and how could the check be
drawn if there was no money in the Capital
National bank? The last legislature had recognized,
in its appropriations, that $280,000 was tied up in the Capital National bank. The defense in this case had the right to show,
by this depository bond, how the money became tied up in that bank. Mr. Wheedon took up the criminal law portion
which he claimed was being urged by the state
against defendants and said that unless the law every man who accepted a check of a bank from a state treasurer became an accessory. If that was to be held to be true, none
none was safe. The twelve men on the jury
would, when this case was over, go down to the state treasurer and receive, what?
Even the honorable court, when reviewing quarterly salary, accepted a check. The other executive of the state did the same, even the learned counsel for the state, Judge Wakeley. In whom the sands of age had quenched the fire of genius, would, for his services in this celebrated case, receive a check, and therefore he headed the long procession toward the penitentiary. At this point, the court adjourned until 2 p.m.
WHAT IS MONEY?
Mr. Wheeler resumed his argument in the afternoon. Counsel dwelt for some time upon the definition of the word "money." He held that in the transfer between Williams and Hill and Hartley the settlement had been made in current funds, which in all commercial transactions was recognized as money. The state rested their case upon the premise that depositing money in banks by state and county treasurers was a felony. There was not a man within the sound of the counsel's voice who, if that was the law to be enforced, would render personal service for which he was to be paid in a check drawn by the state treasurer, thereby becoming an accessory to a crime.
The depository bond, which the defense sought to introduce in evidence, was affirmed by Governor Crow and Secretary of State Alton on the 14th of January, 1893, the very day on which Hill vacated and Hartley assumed the office of state treasurer. Mr. Wheeler held that, in the face of custom, established policy, and practice, the old law against state treasurers depositing state money in banks had become obsolete. It had been custom from time immemorial to deposit money in banks, and if that was to be changed, Mr. Hill should have been given notice to that effect. After these certificates of deposit had been received by the state from Hill and deposited in a bank to the amount of $283,000, the sum of $40,000 was drawn out and applied to payment of state debts.
"Now," said Mr. Wheeler, warming up, "I ask your honors how a state treasurer shall pay money out on the public school apportionment? Shall he go to each county treasurer, and individually, or by deputy, pay over the counters of those treasurers, or shall he draw a check and mail it to the county treasurer, and, according to the counsel for the state, he becomes a felon in so doing, because he has deposited the state money in a bank before he could check against the same?"
Mr. Wheeler read a long decision from Wisconsin reports in which, under a most stringent law against the deposit of state funds by treasurers in banks, a prosecution against one treasurer had fallen through, the court holding that the practice of thirty years had created a public policy which exonerated the state treasurer. The case was the state of Wisconsin against McLeod. The law at that time demanded that the state funds should be kept in the vaults of the state treasurer, and it was obligatory upon him to pay out the silver or pieces of money which he received. The court had held that this construction of the law was too narrow.
Counsel did not believe the legislature of this state had ever intended to legislate to the effect that money belonging to the state should be kept in the vault of the state treasurer's office in the capitol building, and not that the same currency should be paid out that had been paid in.
"This court has held so," said Judge Wakeley.
"I do not believe it," responded Mr. Wheeler, "I do not believe this court has ever ruled so, I do not believe it will rule so in the case at bar."
Counsel said that the supreme court of Wisconsin, in the face of a most stringent law, had held that state money on deposit was money in the state treasury. Mr. Wheeler admitted that the supreme court of Nebraska had made a ruling on this point. But he did not believe the case had been in parallel of this one. Two Missouri cases were cited. In one, the treasurer of the state had sent a county treasurer a check on a St. Louis bank for $30,000. For sixty days the county treasurer held the check without presentation. In fact, he never did present it at the bank. Meanwhile, the St. Louis bank failed. It had been held that the county treasurer could not recover from the state treasurer on account of his own negligence. The other one was a case in which a taxpayer had given the collector a check for his taxes. The collector did not present it. The bank failed and the collector returned the taxpayer a delinquent. The court held that the collector could not recover, as the taxpayer had done his duty and the collector had neglected his.
Abandoning the state reports, Mr. Wheeler turned his attention to the application of them to the case at bar. He said that so long as the state was drawing out $49,000 from the Capital National bank, not a word of complaint had been heard. But when the bank had failed, from that moment the state tried to draw a line between the deposit of the money and the failure.
BEHIND THE DEPOSITORY LAW.
General John C. Cowlin for the defense followed Mr. Wheeler. He said that he did not like to add five minutes of time to the discussion of this case, but as an attorney he owed a duty to his clients. The defendant, Hill, had gone out of office without a stain upon his private or official character. For twenty-five years, ever since the organization of the state, every state officer had received his pay in a check on some bank. For twenty-five years each legislature had met, and not a word of protest against this method of conducting public business had been heard.
There was no question at issue whether the Capital National was solvent or insolvent at the time Hill went out of office. It had failed subsequent to that time, and it had been made a depository, and its bond had been accepted the day that Hill had turned over the office of state treasurer to Bartley. Judge Wakeley had said that the breach of law had occurred when Hill had put the money in the Capital National bank. There was a suit for damages against the bondsmen of Hill. Where had the damages occurred? Suppose that when Bartley had received the certificates of deposit for $285,000 he had sued the bank for the amount, and suppose the bank had confessed judgment and paid the money into court, and the comptroller had paid it to Hartley, what would have been the duty of Hartley in that case? Under the law, the bank having been made a depository, it would have been obligatory upon him to have paid it all back into the same bank. What position then, would the state have been in? What would have been the difference between Hill in that case and in the present? General Cowlin held that there would have been none at all in either case, he was innocent of any criminal complicity. The officers of the state had approved the depository bond, and the bank was entitled to the money, as it was the only depository the state at that time. The state got its money, all that the law provided.
Mr. Illmakoff, succeeding General Cowlin, said that, as he understood the case, the state held that all damages had accrued at the time Hill had put the money in the broken bank.
Suppose, for illustration, Hill had not turned over actual money, but instead had given Bartley a lump of gold bullion worth by assay and in the market $283,000. Suppose that Bartley had then this bullion to the bank and the bank had accepted it for $285,000, given the state a credit on its books for that amount, and had failed. Judge Wakefield would have then come in and interposed the objection that technical money had not been turned over. Would he then have been sustained by the court? I think not. But at this time, Judge Wakefield could claim that gold bullion was not technical money. But its equivalent had been turned over when the bank gave the state credit on its books for $285,000. The fact was that the consideration for which the bank gave credit was $285,000. There can be no question about that.
WHAT THE STATE CONTENDS.
At 4:15 Mr. Lambertson, for the state, said he would not go into a lengthy discussion of the authorities cited by the defense, but the court would examine them. It would find that in each case, the moneys in banks were all put there under the laws of the state in which the transactions were committed. But the contention of the state in the case at bar was that under the law of Nebraska, the minute amount of state money in a bank was a conversion, and Hill became liable to penal punishment. This court had so held in the past. Had Hill left the state's money in the state's vault, and had it been lost through no negligence of his own, he would not have been liable. The was the exact distinction between the cases cited by the defense and the case at bar. The state could produce numerous authorities to sustain itself, but why was it necessary when this very court had held with them? Mr. Lambertson said that custom could not override law. The defense had spoken plausibly, but custom was outside of law, and the case of the state of Wisconsin against McPotterfield all that had been decided was that the state was not entitled to interest thereon. A suit had been brought to recover interest, and the court had held that, as there was no law authorizing state money to be placed in banks at interest, it could not collect interest thereon. If the court would examine the various statutes of this state, it would notice an absence of any reference to checks, drafts, certificates of deposit. Nothing is mentioned but actual money. There was a variance in the positions assumed by the defense. In one instance, they claim the bondsmen are not liable because money was not received, only certificates of deposit. In another instance, they claim these certificates were actual money, the equivalent of money, the equivalent of gold bullion.
In citing the Cedar county case again, Mr. Lambertson read to the effect that the supreme court had held that it would be a strange anomaly for a defendant to plead a felony in bar of prosecution for damages against him and his bondsmen. The attorney applied this to the Hill case and said, "It would be a strange anomaly in law that Hill could plead, as his counsel does plead, a felony for which he could be published in bar of a suit for damages against him and his bondsmen."
The one sharp question, counsel urged, should be decided by the court was the bond made by Moshcr et al., many of them insolvent at the time it was made, to be introduced as a defense against the bondsmen of John E. Hill. From the 6th of January until the 14th, these certificates had been held without any action being taken on them. This, in itself, was rather strange. The depository law, counsel held, was a trifle ambiguous, because while it provided that the treasurer should deposit money in banks, it did not say who was to be the judge of the reliability of the bank. But at any rate, no money could be deposited until a bond had been approved. Again the law says the state treasurer shall deposit money in state depositories, but Bartley had no actual money to deposit. He only had certificates of deposit.
"I venture to say," said Mr. Lambertson, "that had Bartley had $285,000 in cash, he would not have put it in the Capital National bank. Why, the very first draft of $35,000 broke the bank. That is the evidence. Had Bartley taken $285,000 in money and given to the bank, I believe he could have checked it all out and never have lost a dollar. The bank didn't have the money when it issued the certificates of deposit and was insolvent."
The court here gave notice of adjournment until 8:30 a.m. tomorrow, intimating that there would be no session in the afternoon.

Indians Take Possession of the Town of Decatur and Also Have a Row.
DECATUR, Neb., May 3 (Special) It is an open fact that this town has been a rendezvous for bootleggers for many years and they have carried on their nefarious trade with the Omaha Indians in defiance of the law, but the Decatur people don't propose to tolerate them anymore. The Omaha Indians received $2,000 in money last Monday at their agency. Per capita it amounted to $20.35. Tuesday they flocked to Decatur, about 160 in number, to brown their recent trials, troubles, and tribulations in the stimulating influences of fire water and rot-gut whisky. It was not long before drunken Indians, women as well as men, were as thick as flies on a molasses barrel. Depredations of all kinds were committed and excitement ran high. Drunken women paraded the streets, hollering and acting as if bedlam had broken loose. Some threw their arms around white men's necks and asked for a kiss. Some of the bucks, when completely overcome with liquor, fell in the road like a wet dish rag and were picked up later by friends and carried out of town. Several wagon loads were disposed of in this manner.
Knives, pistols, and all sorts of deadly weapons were as thick here as they are at a Colorado dog fight. But luckily no one was seriously injured, although lots of threats were made.
It is safe to say that very nearly $1,000 was exchanged by the Indians for whisky. It is not only one man who is interested in the business of selling liquor to the Indians, but quite a number are implicated, perhaps twenty. A prominent business man of this place, Henry Dyram, said he had from $200 to $500 to invest in prosecuting the bootleggers, and furthermore, he emphatically stated that this godforsaken practice had to stop. If the law could not stop it, then other means would be necessary.
About twenty citizens held a meeting and if the word had only been said a lynching booth would soon have been in progress and in the morning one or two bootleggers would have been dangling from the flagpole. Everybody is excited and the good element of the town is going to make a strong effort to suppress and drive out altogether this nefarious business.
One or two church members came to Editor DeWitt of the News of this place the other day and requested the question be agitated that a vigilance committee be formed and the bootleggers be wiped off the face of the earth.
Trial to Uncover Heck's Kitchen Fire,
PENDLETON, Neb., May 3 (Special Telegram) Captain Heck is working on a clue which indicates that the recent fire in the shrubbery and dry grasses next to his residence, one mile from the agency, was an attempt at incendiarism.

Supreme Court Decisions.
On April 30, the Nebraska Supreme Court met pursuant to adjournment. O.H. Caldwell, of Hall county, was admitted to practice. South Omaha again against Latif on motion; Johnson against Jenkins on motion; Wilcox against Hall on motion; Grossman against State, on application for bail; Punk against Ernies, Omaha Steamship Company, on motion. Opinions were issued in the following cases:
Pollard against Huff. Not from Lancaster county. Lever's opinion by Justice Post.
An agreement in the following form: "For Value received, you shall (Unless otherwise) payment of the within note at maturity, waiving protest and utterance of none of the merits, "holds not a mere guarantee, but an endorsement with an enlarged liability."
An accommodation note or bill, within the meaning of the instrument, is one which is made or accepted not upon consideration, but for the purpose of enabling the person to falsely money on credit.
Evidence examined and held not to sustain the defense and judgment in favor of the defendants as makers of the notes in controversy.
In an action upon an attachment, a claim due the principal in a surety bond from the plaintiff is a proper subject of set-off.
An attorney's lien for services performed in prosecuting an action is that mentioned by the amount which his client claims to be his due, but cannot exceed the amount in the hands of the adversary jury belonging to his client or the amount owing to him, and is not paramount to other property available during such action.
The Clearwater Bank against Eckonski. Error from Antelope county. Opinion by Chief Justice Norval.
Where a statute is claimed to be invalid on the ground that it was not enacted in the constitutional mode, such invalidity must be proved by the pleadings or in some other form in the trial court to be of any avail. Such objection cannot be raised for the first time in the appellate court.
That portion of section 16, chapter II, Compiled Statutes, which gives to the mortgagee of chattels a right of action to recover the sum therein prescribed as liquidated damages for a failure of a mortgage or his assignee to enter satisfaction of record of a chattel mortgage which has been paid within ten days after being so requested, does not conflict with section 3, article I, nor with section 10, article VII, of the constitution of this state. Graham against Eiber, 9 Neb., 18: followed.
A demand must be made upon the mortgagee or his assignee for the satisfaction of a mortgage before an action can be maintained to recover the said sum named in said section 15.
The entry of satisfaction after the statutory period will not defeat such an action.
Peerless Manufacturing Company against Holt. Error from Lancaster county. Opinion by Justice Post.
An accommodation maker is one who executes commercial papers without consideration in order to enable the payee or holder to thereby obtain credit.
One who executes a promissory note as surety for another is not an accommodation maker.
The side applied to evidence in support of several signers claiming to be accommodation makers.
A judgment will not be reversed on account of error in the admission of evidence not prejudicial to the party complaining.
State vs. School District No. 6, Thurlton county, against Moore. Mandamus.
Writ denied. Opinion by Justice Hanscom.
In the Interpretation of constitutions of statutes, ascertainment of the intention of the legislature is the end or purpose to be accomplished.
Where a law is plain and certain in its terms and free from ambiguity, a reading is all that is needed or proper.
Statutes which authorize the issuance of bonds by the minor political subdivisions of the state are subjects for strict construction when an interpretation is necessary, and where, from a careful study and analysis of the whole act and its several parts, the meaning and intent is doubtful, the doubt should be resolved in favor of the public or taxpaying classes.
The act approved March 30, 1887 (see chapter 10, session laws 187, page 100), entitled 'An act to authorize counties, precincts, townships, or towns, cities, villages and school districts to compound their indebtedness and issue new bonds therefor', held not to empower a school district to use its bonds and deliver them to purchasers in compliance of, or to take the place of, an indebtedness evidenced by school district warrants or orders.
South Omaha National bank against Wright et al. Appeal from Douglas county. Reversed with Instructions. Opinion by Commissioner Irving.
Where a country for the payment of a debt delivers a security for his indemnity and to discharge such indebtedness, the principal creditor is in equity entitled to the full benefit of that security. Reliance against Vodei, 10 Neb., 121 followed.
The doctrine of subrogation is not administered by courts of equity as a legal right, but the principle is applied to serve the ends of justice and to do equity in the particular case under consideration. It does not rest on contract, and no general rule can be laid down which will afford a test in all cases for its application. Whether the doctrine is applicable to any particular case depends upon the particular facts and circumstances of such case.
A surety on a note to indemnify herself against loss by reason of her minority ship and also to secure the payment of a debt due to her from the principal, took forth from him a mortgage. The principal, after having given to the payee of the note signed by the surety a mortgage to secure its payment, pledged the same property that was pledged to the surety and by its terms was made subject thereto. In a suit to foreclose the mortgage given to secure the note signed by the surety, the latter answered and claimed a first lien on the mortgaged property to satisfy the debt owing to her by her principal, and which was the chief issue.
It is held that the holder of the note signed by the surety should be subrogated to her lien on the mortgaged property.
Conger against Dodd et al. Error from Sheridan county. Affirmed. Opinion by Commissioner Irvine.
If an exception discloses that important evidence has been therefrom omitted, authentication of the bill to the effect that it contains all the evidence will no longer control, and in such case the verdict will not be disturbed as contrary to the evidence.
Where error is assigned upon the giving of a certain instruction, on the ground that while abstractly correct it is misleading for want of modifications, the court will not consider such assignment where it appears that the whole charge is not included in the transcript, because proper modifications may have been given in other instructions.
South Omaha National bank against Farmers and Merchants National bank. Error from Douglas county. Affirmed. Opinion by Commissioner Irvine.
An appearance is special when its sole purpose is to question the jurisdiction of the court. It is general if the party appearing invokes the power of the court on an issue other than that of jurisdiction. Whether it is general or special is to be determined by an examination of the substance of the pleading, and not by its form.
Under our code, an order of garnishment cannot be issued to a county other than that in which the principal action is brought.
Beck may have regulars if needed to enforce his orders. United States troops will be furnished if illegal lessees must move out.
Interior department is determined that the unauthorized occupation of Indian lands shall be brought up and left in accordance with the law.
Washington, May 3 (Special Telegram) Officials of the Department of the Interior and the Indian office assure positively that no information has been switched from Captain Beck at the Oglala and Whiteclay reservations for at least a week. They have received no requests for troops or additional forces, and no authority has been given for the use of any military assistance.
One official of the Indian office today said,
"Captain Beck will be supported by this office in all his actions in favor of evicting the settlers, since to all appearances he is simply carrying out the orders of the Interior department. The illegal lessees will be removed, and I think that it can be done without the employment of additional forces. He now has twenty Indian police to assist him, authority having been given him recently to employ sixteen policemen in addition to his four regulars. If, however, it develops that he is unable to enforce his orders with his present forces, he will be assisted by a detail of regular troops. It is certain that the leases are illegal and that the holders will ultimately be compelled to leave the reservation. I do not think that the militia of the State of Nebraska will have any authority to go upon Whiteclay reservation, because the reservation is not within the jurisdiction of the state. We have really received no official information from the reservation, and all we know of the situation has been gained from the columns of The Bee, which you have showed us, and further reports will be awaited with interest."

Omaha, May 3 (Special Telegram) This section of the state is being honeycombed with telephones, and every town within a radius of fifty miles will soon be connected with Omaha. The scheme is something new and supplying, even to old telephone men, but it works like a charm. An inventive genius here struck the idea of making electric connections with the wired wire of the fences that are along the road. He filed a line first between here and Dunbar. It was a success, and now he has an incorporated company which has just been started into existence and is getting rich. A line was hitched onto the wired wire fence between Hickman and Council Bluffs, twenty miles away, in one day by two men, who only used eight or ten loads of insulated wire-under the road crossing that passes over the railroad. He is leaving a line to Coon, forty miles away, today, and if the wired wire fence holds out he will push on to Des Moines.
Attorneys at Law, Office in the Light.
OTTUMWA, May 3—Special (Telegram) The atmosphere was sensitive at arms by the attorneys in the Peltzmel trial today. The defense had three of the culprits recently sentenced to the penitentiary for witnesses to testify that Peltzmel had fits in jail. This caused the defense to claim that the witnesses had been tampered with by officers of the court and a heated war of words followed. The judge, finally declaring that if any more imputations were made, he would line all the attorneys heavily.
DES MOINES, May 3 (Special Telegram) In response to the widely published call for a free silver mass meeting, about forty men of independent politics met here tonight to devise means to carry Iowa for free coinage. Judge Cole, the populist candidate for presidential elector, presided. A number of speeches were made. At the conclusion, signers to a free silver petition were called for. Twenty were spotted.
SIOUX CITY, May 3—Special (Telegram) John Maulein, who was fined $600 Tuesday for violating an injunction restraining him from selling liquors contrary to law, is making arrangements to apply to the governor for a pardon. He will represent that he has not violated the law more than other liquor dealers in the city and that he is the principal object of the spit of a few prohibitionists.
SIOUX CITY, May 3—Special (Telegram) A number of local capitalists are planning to put a line of steamers on the river between Sioux City and Chicago, for the purpose of bringing grain down as soon as the season opens. A company will be formed to push the plan.
MOUNT AYR, May (Special Telegram) At 12 o'clock last night, the jury in the celebrated Gelger-Payne breach of promise case returned a verdict against Payne, "the gray-haired boy," for $18,000.
CHADDER RAPIDS, May 3 (Special Telegram) Spencer & Kittridge, dry good merchants of Maquoketa for thirty years, have failed. Liabilities between $50,000 and $60,000 and assets, $10,000.
CLINTON, May (Special Telegram) Martin Connell of this city today fell from the steamer Chancey Lamb, on which he was employed, and drowned.

Directing for Preserving Fruit
Preserves should be kept carefully from air, in a very dry place. If they stand in a warm place, they will mold. They should be looked at two or three times in the first two months, that they may be gently boiled again if necessary. It is not likely to keep. It is supposed by something that cheap sugar will do for preserves this is a mistaken idea; the very best sugar should be used, it cheap sugar is used, it should be cleansed and all the scum taken off.

OrEltltWlXH TltK CONSTITUTION.
Senator Alters l an applicant for the posi
tion ot secretary of tbo Hoard ot Irrigation.
Thu law } > rovlde * that the tocretary iliall be
a competent , praitlcnl civil engineer , which
forever barn any overweening nmliltlon the
senator may luivo in that direction. Aa a
matter of homo prUlo wo might want to see
him receive the appointment , but In Justice
to the Irrigation Interests of the state we
must say that his appointment would bo a
wor a drawback to It than a hoavjr rainfall
for the nest ten years. Coring Homestead.
The candidacy of Slate Senator Akers
for the position of secretary of the
Hoard of Irrigation Involves not so
much the question of his competency
as a civil engineer as It does his right
to hold any olllcc created by the legis
lature of which he is a member or
the authority of the Hoard of Irrigation
to appoint him. The late legislature
has set a pernicious example In Its
llagrant attempts to override the consti
tution not only by delegating executive
appointing powers to state boards eon-
| trary to the letter of the constitution ,
' but In exercising such'powers as a iegls-
jlntlvo body In dellance of constitutional
prohibition.
Section 1H , article III. of the constitu
tion declares that no person elected to
the legislature shall receive a civil
ppolntment within this state from the
rovornor or senate during the term for
vhlch he has been elected , and all such
ppolatmcnts and all votes given for
my such member for any such olllco
r appointment shall be void.
Manifestly the constitution contem-
dittos that all executive appointments
hall bo made by the governor and that
10 member of the legislature shall re-
olve or hold any civil appointment
luring the term for which he was
looted.
The late legislature delegated the
> owcr of appointing irrigation otilcors
o a board composed of several state
illleors , but the legislature could not
ibrogato the constitutional provision
hat bars Senator Alters and every
ithor member of the legislature from
loldlng any civil appointment at their
lands even though the legislature did
vldp the devil around the stump by
aklng the appointment from the gov
ernor.
The appointment of members of the
eglslature during their terms of olllcc
o any state position is a very perni
cious practice and should bo dlscoun-
.onanced even where it does not con-
.raveno the constitution. In the llrst
ilaco , neither the governor nor any
state olllcor who has at his disposal any
ippolntment or employment has any
ight to create vacancies In the legisla-
.11 re. The people elect their representa
tives for a fixed term and have a right
o expect that they will serve to the
ml of tliL-Ir terms.
An emergency that may require the
convening of the legislature may arise
it any time and every district should
> o In condition to have its people ropre-
seifted. In the next place , the nppolnt-
nont of members of the legislature to
salaried state positions ts demoral
ising and tends to corrupt the fountains
of legislation. The constitution ox-
[ trossly prohibits members from being
interested directly or Indirectly In any
contract with the state , county or city
nithorlzed by any law passed dui'ing
the term for which they have boon
'looted ' or for one year after the expira
tion of such term. If members of the
eglslature cannot bo Interested in a
ontract under a law passed during their
terms they certainly have no right to
my olllco or employment to which a
salary Is attached.
The i > rlme object of the fminors of
the constitution evidently was to pre
vent members of the legislature from
becoming beneficiaries of laws enacted
l y themselves , and Senator Akors' case
certainly conies under that rule.

American statesmen are notoriously
lacking In that reserve , with respect to
International issues , which is character
istic of the statesmen of the loading na
tions of the old world. It would be
extremely dllllcult to Induce a member
of the llrltlsh Parliament or the French
Chambers , or the German Reichstag , to
unbosom himself to a newspaper re
porter regarding what the policy of his
government should be In an Interna
tional matter In which ids goverenment
hail a concern or might become involved.
Domestic questions they might discuss
In the form of interviews with the ut
most freedom , but they would decline to
express an opinion as to the foreign
policy of their countries. It is very
different , however , with American sena
tors and representatives. Hcgardless
of the fact that they may have to act
In their legislative capacity upon Inter
national questions they freely give to
the public , when asked , their opinions
respecting the course the government
should pursue , thus often In advance
of an olllclal and detailed knowledge ot
the facts committing themselves to a
policy which later circumstances may
show would be unwise and perilous ,
Partisan fooling is to no little extent
responsible for this , but whatever the
motive it is a fact that as a rule our
public men tire too free In their oplniom
upon questions affecting our Inter
national relations and the duty of out
government In respect of such relations
More reserve and discretion In this par
ticular would better comport with the
dignity and the duty of public men.
Senator Cullom of Illinois Is reported
as having declared In an Interview thai
England must get away from NIcaraguii
or there will l > e war between that coun
try and the United States. This I ?
foolish and reckless talk , which a seua >
tor us old in years and In service a ?
Mr. Cullom ought to be ashamed of , and
which perhaps he. will bo In view ol
the fact that the. British government
has shown that it lias no purpose li
Its dealings with Nicaragua except to ob
tain the Indemnity demanded nnd whlcl
our government has conceded Its right
to demand. It doi sn't want Niiwagnai
territory and that being the case tin
United States has no excuse or Justl
llcation for Interference. Senator Mor
gan of Alabama Is another who Is prepared
pared to Involve this country in a wai
with Great Itritnln on account of tin
Nicaragua dilllctilty. The Alabamr
senator arraigns England for a per
slstont course of aggression for a hundred
drod years In every quarter of the globe
which is all true , but which furnishes
no warrant for the United States inter
posing to prevent the collection of n
money Indemnity from Nicaragua In
curred by the violation of International
obligations. Is It not perfectly obvious
( hat If this country were to adopt the
< policy of interfering In matters of this
character It would Invite endless com-
Mentions with Kuroponn powers ? The
Connecticut senate a few days ago
idopted a resolution demanding of the
dmlnlstratlon at Washington "that
hey Insist upon the Immediate hauling
lown of the Hrltlsh ( lag ami the with-
Irawai of their troops from the ropnb-
Ic of Nicaragua , and that said demand
enforced , If necessary , by American
guns from an American licet. " This
nay have a patriotic ring to some , but
0 those who will calmly consider It
mist regard It as ridiculous. Such n
otirso on the part of this country would
jo tantamount to a declaration of war
igalnst Great Itritnln and that would
loubtless moan a long and costly con-
llct.
llct.Tlie
Tlie Jingo sentiment lias become too
trovtilent In this country. The Amorl-
i people do not want a war with any
nit Ion. The true policy of the United
States Is to maintain peace and friendly
olations with all the world. We have
1 woll-dellned policy regarding hide-
) endont American countries which
Juropeau powers fully understand and
ire disposed to respect , and there is no
onsen why we should go beyond this.

ub the thing In more deeply the South
Omaha council dipped Its hands into the
: lty treasury and paid $200 for the pub-
Icatlon of the farcical Investigation.
Tills was really hush money , paid to
an ex-reporter of tills paper who had
jcen discharged for playing Into the
lands of the gang. Inasmuch as this
ilgh-haiidod piece of olliclal looting only
concerned the imbecile taxpayers who
lad not gumption enough to assort their
rights In the courts , The Hoe allowed
he incident to pass without comment.
The same is true regarding more recent
appropriations for the benefit of the
blackleg boodle organ which the South
Omaha council has made its "otllcial"
mouthpiece.
Hut The Hoe does not propose to sub
mit tamely to any attempt on the part
of the South Omaha municipal combine
to punish this paper for exposing its
rottenness. Tills Is whore the line will
> c drawn pretty sharply , just as It was
n 1SOI when another South Omaha
council undertook to negative the Slo-
cunib law. The performances of the
South Omaha council at their last two
neetings afford abundant ground for in
voking the power of the courts , and In
this instance , as was done four years
ago , we propose not only to test the
right of the South Omaha council to
nullify the plain letter of the law , but
ulso to raise and determine all the In
cidental issues Involved.

Ono of the surest indications of Im
provement In the Industrial condition of
the country is iho demand for Increased
bank note circulation. During April
tire .bonds on deposit in the treasury
to secure circulating notes were In
creased about ? : if)00.000 ) , indicating an
addition to the bank note circulation for
that month of about $ .1.700.000. It Is
stated by treasury officials that the
most marked change was In the new -1
per cent bonds , which Increased $ l,50i-
000 during April , anil In the 5 per cent
bonds , widen Increased nearly $1,000- ,
000 in the , same time. Another evi
dence of the revival of business activity
Is afforded by the applications for au
thority to establish new national banks.
The number of national banks organized
in the United States , which ran as high
as 307 in 1SOO , fell to a minimum during
the panic , and many applications for
charters In the spring of 1SD2 were
withdrawn or abandoned. The whole
number of banks organized during the
year covered by the last report of the
comptroller of Hie currency , ending Oc
tober 31 , 1SO-1 , was only llfty , a smaller
number than In any year since 1S79.
The banks organized during the six
months since the last report have num
bered fourteen and the applications
pending number thirty-one. It is thus
practically assured that that there will
be more new national banks organized
this year than last It Is noteworthy
that the southern states make a good
showing in the applications.
From the figures of increased bank
circulation Indicated for April and the
number of applications for now banks
pending it appears probable that In the
current year there will be an addition
to the circulation In the form of bank
currency to the amount of at least
$2n,000,000 , and it is more than likely
to exceed this. Whether such an In
crease would keep pace with the grow
ing demands of business It is Impossible
to say. Much will depend upon the
extent of the crops. Hut It Is to be ex
pected that the banks will respond to
whatever the demand may bo. Ono of
the objections , and perhaps fho chief
one , urged against the national bank
ing system Is that It does not provide
nn elastic currency Increasing and di
minishing according to the condition of
business. Hut national bankers are not
as a rule blind to their opportunities ,
and It has not of ten'happened that they
have boon found neglecting a chance to
profit by Increasing their circulation.
It Is apparent that they discern such an
opportunity In the near future and that
they are getting ready to improve It.
There could be no better evidence of
returning confidence.

Much surprise lias been created by the
result of the general election that has just
taken place In Denmark. A year ago the
old radical party , which for more than two
score years had been In constant opposition
to the crown and to thnl government which
King Christian persisted In keeping In office ,
although It possessed no majority In the
Folkthlng , teemed to have definitely broken
up. H wns everywhere announced that the
constitutional conflict waa at an end nnd
that the country had finally come to the con
clusion that It was the parliament which
wns wrong nnd the monarch right. The re
joicings Instituted la connection with this
alleged victory now appear to have been
somewhat premature , for the general election
has returned no less than slxty-oiio radicals
and socialists , twenty-eight moderate liberals
and only twenty-four conservatives , the lat
ter party being , therefore , practically snowed
under. In view of the fact that King Chris
tian Is the sovereign In Europe most closely
wedded to old-time doctrines of th "right
divine , " as well as the most determined
toe of parliamentary Institutions , a conflict
of a serious character may be anticipated ,
since It Is scarcely probable that the over
whelming radical majority In the national
legislature will submit any longer to the
dellance by the Icing of all the rights and
prerogatives conceded to the people by the
national constitution.
It Is said to be the Turkish sultan's Inten
tion to construct a railroad which , starting
from Tripoli , Is to bo prolonged gradually
to the Soudan , passing through Gadames
and other great trading centers ot the desert
which owe their Importance to being situ
ated at the meeting place of converging
caravan routes. Abdul Hamcd's Idea In con
nection with the line of railroad Is not so
much commercial as religious nnd political ,
since ho looks to being enabled thereby to
exercise a more potent influence than hith
erto upon all that fanatic clement of Ma-
homctanlsm which In central Africa takes
the form of Mahdlsm. The religious revival
first started by the Senoussl and then con
tinued by the late Mahdl and by his successor
ser cannot any longer bs Ignored by the
spiritual and temporal chief of the faith ;
and Inasmuch as the headquarters and cen
ter of that revival arc. In the Soudan It Is
all Imprtant that the padlshah at Constanti
nople should place himself In direct and
rapid communication therewith , even If ho t
compelled to use the Iron steed of the giaour
In lieu of the dromedary of the true believer.
Surveys are now being rapidly pushed for
ward for the construction of the road and
steps are also being taken for deepening
the approaches to the port of Tripoli.

Many of the Central and South American
states owe large sums In Europe. Nicaragua
owes $1,425,000 to English creditors. The
bonds for this loan were Issued In 1SSC and
draw G per cent Interest. Honduras owes
$10,000,000 In England and $11,000,000 In
France , and no Interest has been paid on her
bonds since. 1872. The arrears of Interest
on Honduras' foreign debt amount to $40-
000.000. Guatemala owes a foreign debt of
more than $5,000,000 , Costa Rica of $10,000.-
000 , and little San Salvador of $1,350,000.
Passing to South America , the Argentine
Republic has a foreign debt of $203,000,000 ,
Brazil of $154,000,000 , Chile $54,000,000 , nnd
so on through the list. These statements Include -
cludo only foreign debts , and all the states
named have domestic debts , some ot them
very large. Their foreign bonds bear 4 and
5 per cent Interest and ore held In England ,
Germany and France. No doubt the holders
of them would be very glad to get their
governments to undertake to enforce their
payment with arrears of Interest , but Inter
national law would not permit that to be
done.
Although In debate the socialists In the
French chamber opposed the government bill
for superannuation pensions for working
men , It Is noteworthy that they all voted for
It. The main point of the scheme Is the pay
ment of a small annuity to members of ben
efit societies C3 years old whose total Income
is below n certain amount. Commenting
upon the course adopted by the socialists ,
the correspondent of the London Times in
Paris writes : "Tho bill passed with only
two dissentients , the socialists finally having
accepted what throughout they had called a
compromise and contrary to their principles.
The argument of the government that their
plan and tint ot M. Bourgeois tended to cul
tivate In the masses the virtue of thrift was
repudiated by M. Leydet and M. Jaures. The
socialists also argued that the mere fact of
a workman's having succeeded In .laying by
money for a rainy day was no gauge ot his
merit , for the great mass of laborers , they
maintained , work In conditions which render
saving Impossible. Thus , It was held , the
government bill cast suspicion on a majority
of the indigent but hard-working masses.
In a word , the socialists urged that society
Is bound to support the whole working class
when they have reached the limit of activity
and are physically superannuated. A posi
tion so theoretical was evidently beyond the
bounds of practical politics. But the socialists
no doubt stretched the bow further than was
needed to carry the arrow to the mark nt
which In reality they aimed. It Is their prac
tice to ask for the whole in order that they
may receive the half , with which they will ,
In reality , bo content. Hence the fact that ,
In the end , they wore found voting almost tea
a man for the clauses against which they
had so strenuously pleaded. "

An Interesting experiment In the govern
ment of a native state Is about to be made
by the British government In the case of My
sore , whose maliarajah died recently , after
reigning with conspicuous ability for some
years. Ills representative assembly carried
tha elective principle In local self-govern
ment further In certain respects than has
been found expedient In other Indian terri
tories. The prl.ivo minister , Sir Shesradl
Iyer , belloves that It will bo possible during
the long minority of the child heir to con
tinue the government of Mysore on the lib-
era ! lines which the late prince laid down.
The government of India has accordingly In *
stltuted for Mysore a government that re
produces on a small scale some ot the fea
tures of the system of a governor general In
council. By a proclamation Issued at Banga
lore the administration of the state Is vested
In the qu en regent and the prime minister ,
assisted by an executive council of three
members , of which the prime minister Is
president. The practical government will
rest with the president In council. His au
thority In regard to the executive council
will correspond to that of the governor gen
eral In thu supreme council of India. He
will distribute the work of the state govern
ment , assigning to each of hU three coun
cillors a special branch , and he will regu
late the business at meetings of the council.
All questions ot difficulty or of policy will
be referred to him , and he will decide them
personally or refer them to the full coun
cil , as he may deem best.

It Is evident that the bitter feeling1 mani

lasting Impression upon him. It Is reported
that during hla recent visit to Kiel In con
nection with the opening of the Baltic ship

the opening ceremony to bo a popular fes
tival. In the widest sense of the term , with
especial consideration for all classes of his
subjects. The tribunes and pavilions which
had been erected for th ? reception of the
spectators did not appear to him to bo suffi
ciently large , and ho expressed the wish
that more commodious accommodation
should bo provided for the massed , and. It
posslbl ? , that there should b ? no lack of op
portunities for obtaining refreshment. In ac
cordance with his desire , it was determined
to extend the area originally allotted for the
accommodation of the public.

Di-Mrojlnc tmticU ,
WASHINGTON , May 3.Dr. . C. Hart Mcr-
rlam , chief of the division ot ornithology uf
the department , has been for Severn ! ycnrs
engaged In examining and analyzing the con
tents of the stomachs of hawks , owls , crows ,
blackbirds , mendow larks nnd other hlrdj
of North America which are gurposoi to bo
specially beneficial or Injurious to the ciops
of farmers. The stomachs of over 7,000 birds
tukcn at different FCUSOI-.S of the year have
been alre.idy analyzed nnd the contents dcd'r-
mined , whllo 12,000 arc still uncxamlni'J. The
rosulu In Nome cases have been remarkable ,
showing In several notable Instances that
popular Ideas regarding the Injurious effects
of certain birds were wholly mistaken , nnd
that they have been the victims ot an un
just persecution. Thli has been found to bo
especially the case with haw Its and owls , for
the slaughter of which many states give
bounties. Ponnsylvpiila In two yo.us g.ive
over $100,000 In hawk and owl bounties Ex
aminations of the stomachs of those birds
prove conclusively that 05 per cent of their
food was field mice , grasshoppers , crickets ,
etc. , which were Infinitely more1 Injurious to
farm crops than they. It \\a * fcuml that
only flvo klnJs of hawk * or onl.i over touched
poultry and then only to a very limited ex
tent. A bulletin now about going to press
on the crow also shows thnl bird not so
hlack as ho has been palntol by the f.irmen' .
The charges against the crow wore .that he
ate corn nnd dcMro > rd the rggs of'poultry
and wild birds. Examinations of their stomachs
achs showed that they i at noxious Insects
and other animals , and that although 25 per
cent of their food Is corn. It Is mostly waste
corn picked up In the fall nnd winter. With
regard to O KS , It was foiml that the shells
were eaten to a very limited extent for the
Ilmo. They eat nnts , beetles , caterpillars ,
hugs , butterflies , etc. , which do much dam
age. Bulletins are also being prepared on
the cuckoo and other blachbirJs , king birds ,
meadow larks , cedar birds , thrushes , cat
birds , sparrows , etc. In mnny cases popular
Ideas are found to be untrue. In the case ot
the king bird , killed by the farmer under the
impression tlmt It eats bees. It was found
that ho ate only drones and robber files ,
which themselves feed on bees nnd which
dwtroy more bees In a day than the king
bird does In a year. The king bird , therefore ,
Is to be encouraged rather than slaughtered.
The cuckoos are- also found to be very useful
birds In this country. Because the European
cuckoo robbed nests and laid therein Its own
eggs , popular fancy attributes the same vlc-
ous habit to our own cuckoo. Ho Is , lion-over ,
not depraved llko his European namesake ,
but a very decent fellow , who docs much
good In the destruction of Insects.
The result of this work , Dr. Merrlam says ,
will Inure to the protection of beneficial birds
and the destruction of the Injurious ones.
Dr. Merrlam Is also preparing a map showIng -
Ing the llfo zones of the United States for
birds , reptiles nnd plants , a work In which ho

Philadelphia Times : This will bo a costly
victory to the democrats of Tennessee. It
Is not an honest one , nor was It obtained by
honest methods. There Is little or no pretense -

but a technical , plea Is seized upon nnd
manipulated by the majority committee to
make It produce the results desired and a
tainted democratic victory Is thus
achieved.
New York Tribune : A more Impudent
piece of political deviltry nnd a mort malign
attack upon constitutional law and repub
lican Institutions never has been mndo In
this country , not even by Mnynard , the
Thief. H will , however , probably succeed for
the time being , and Peter Turney will be
the fraudulent governor of Tennessee for a
couple of years. But we made ono mistake
above. Wo said the final settlement of the
case will be made today. The final settle
ment will bo made at the next election and
it will take the form of a republican ma-
orlty too big for oven Peter Turney and his
rascally backers to override.
Cincinnati Commercial : Tennessee has
disgraced Itself by declaring Turney elected
governor by a plurality of 2,3.rS. The name
of the state Is tarnished by this unjust and
partisan net of tha democratic legislature.
It was what was expected , but there has all
along been a hope , a faint one , to ba sure ,
that good sense nnd honesty would prevail.
It seems that the democratic party of the
state , In spite of the advlco of some of the
cnoro reputable members ot Its organization ,
has been drunk with a deslra for continuance
In power. There can be only one result
of such Injustice , and that the election of a
republcan , governor and legislature next

The late legislature delegated the power of appointing irrigation officers to a board composed of several state senators, but the legislature could not abrogate the constitutional provision that bars Senator Akers and every other member of the legislature from holding any civil appointment at their hands even though the legislature did evade the devil around the stump by making the appointment from the governor.
The appointment of members of the legislature during their terms of office to any state position is a very pernicious practice and should be discouraged even where it does not contravene the constitution. In the first place, neither the governor nor any state officer who has at his disposal any appointment or employment has any right to create vacancies in the legislature. The people elect their representatives for a fixed term and have a right to expect that they will serve to the full of their terms.
An emergency that may require the convening of the legislature may arise at any time and every district should be in condition to have its people represented. In the next place, the appointment of members of the legislature to salaried state positions is demoralizing and tends to corrupt the fountains of legislation. The constitution expressly prohibits members from being interested directly or indirectly in any contract with the state, county, or city authorized by any law passed during the term for which they have been elected or for one year after the expiration of such term. If members of the legislature cannot be interested in a contract under a law passed during their terms they certainly have no right to hold office or employment to which a salary is attached.
The evident object of the framers of the constitution was to prevent members of the legislature from becoming beneficiaries of laws enacted by themselves, and Senator Akers' case certainly comes under that rule.
In American statesmen are notoriously lacking in that reserve, with respect to international issues, which is characteristic of the statesmen of the leading nations of the old world. It would be extremely difficult to induce a member of the British Parliament or the French Chambers, or the German Reichstag, to unbosom himself to a newspaper reporter regarding what the policy of his government should be in an international matter in which his government has a concern or might become involved. Domestic questions they might discuss in the form of interviews with the utmost freedom, but they would decline to express an opinion as to the foreign policy of their countries. It is very different, however, with American senators and representatives. Regardless of the fact that they may have to act in their legislative capacity upon international questions they freely give to the public, when asked, their opinions respecting the course the government should pursue, thus often in advance of an official and detailed knowledge of the facts committing themselves to a policy which later circumstances may show would be unwise and perilous.
Partisan feeling is to no little extent responsible for this, but whatever the motive it is a fact that as a rule our public men are too free in their opinions upon questions affecting our international relations and the duty of our government in respect of such relations. More reserve and discretion in this particular would better comport with the dignity and the duty of public men.
Senator Cullom of Illinois is reported as having declared in an interview that England must get away from Nicaragua or there will be war between that country and the United States. This is foolish and reckless talk, which a senator as old in years and in service as Mr. Cullom ought to be ashamed of, and which perhaps he will be in view of the fact that the British government has shown that it has no purpose in its dealings with Nicaragua except to obtain the indemnity demanded and which our government has conceded its right to demand. It does not want Nicaraguan territory and that being the case the United States has no excuse or justification for interference. Senator Morgan of Alabama is another who is prepared to involve this country in a war with Great Britain on account of the Nicaragua difficulty. The Alabama senator arraigns England for a persistent course of aggression for a hundred years in every quarter of the globe which is all true, but which furnishes no warrant for the United States in interfering to prevent the collection of a money indemnity from Nicaragua incurred by the violation of international obligations. Is it not perfectly obvious that if this country were to adopt the policy of interfering in matters of this character it would invite endless complications with European powers? The Connecticut senate a few days ago adopted a resolution demanding of the administration at Washington "that they insist upon the immediate hauling down of the British flag and the withdrawal of their troops from the republic of Nicaragua, and that said demand be enforced, if necessary, by American guns from an American fleet." This may have a patriotic ring to some, but to those who will calmly consider it must regard it as ridiculous. Such a course on the part of this country would be tantamount to a declaration of war against Great Britain and that would undoubtedly mean a long and costly conflict.
The Jingo sentiment has become too prevalent in this country. The American people do not want a war with any nation. The true policy of the United States is to maintain peace and friendly relations with all the world. We have a well-defined policy regarding independent American countries which European powers fully understand and are disposed to respect, and there is no reason why we should go beyond this.
LAW AGAINST CORRUPTION IN POLITICS.
When The Bee gave publicity to the corrupt deals between South Omaha gamblers and South Omaha city officials, the parties implicated started an investigation which, as naturally was expected, terminated in a whitewash. To save the thing more deeply the South Omaha council dipped its hands into the city treasury and paid $200 for the publication of the farcical investigation. This was really hush money, paid to an ex-reporter of this paper who had been discharged for playing into the hands of the gang. Inasmuch as this high-handed piece of official looting only concerned the imbecile taxpayers who had not gumption enough to assert their rights in the courts, The Bee allowed the incident to pass without comment.
The same is true regarding more recent appropriations for the benefit of the blackleg boodle organ which the South Omaha council has made its "official" mouthpiece.
But The Bee does not propose to submit tamely to any attempt on the part of the South Omaha municipal combine to punish this paper for exposing its rottenness. This is where the line will be drawn pretty sharply, just as it was in 1881 when another South Omaha council undertook to nullify the Sundays law. The performances of the South Omaha council at their last two meetings afford abundant ground for invoking the power of the courts, and in this instance, as was done four years ago, we propose not only to test the right of the South Omaha council to nullify the plain letter of the law, but also to raise and determine all the incidental issues involved.
INCREASED CIRCULATION.
One of the surest indications of improvement in the industrial condition of the country is the demand for increased bank note circulation. During April there were bonds on deposit in the treasury to secure circulating notes were increased about $30,000, indicating an addition to the bank note circulation for that month of about $1,700,000. It is stated by treasury officials that the most marked change was in the new 1 percent bonds, which increased $1,500,000 during April, and in the 5 percent bonds, which increased nearly $1,000,000 in the same time. Another evidence of the revival of business activity is afforded by the applications for authority to establish new national banks.
The number of national banks organized in the United States, which ran as high as 307 in 1800, fell to a minimum during the panic, and many applications for charters in the spring of 1852 were withdrawn or abandoned. The whole number of banks organized during the year covered by the last report of the comptroller of the currency, ending October 31, 1851, was only sixty-five, a smaller number than in any year since 1879. The banks organized during the six months since the last report have numbered fourteen and the applications pending number thirty-one. It is thus practically assured that there will be more new national banks organized this year than last. It is noteworthy that the southern states make a good showing in the applications.
From the figures of increased bank circulation indicated for April and the number of applications for new banks pending, it appears probable that in the current year there will be an addition to the circulation in the form of bank currency to the amount of at least $25,000,000, and it is more than likely to exceed this. Whether such an increase would keep pace with the growing demands of business is impossible to say. Much will depend upon the extent of the crops. But it is to be expected that the banks will respond to whatever the demand may be. One of the objections, and perhaps the chief one, urged against the national banking system is that it does not provide an elastic currency increasing and diminishing according to the condition of business. But national bankers are not, as a rule, blind to their opportunities, and it has not often happened that they have been found neglecting a chance to profit by increasing their circulation. It is apparent that they discern such an opportunity in the near future and that they are getting ready to improve it. There could be no better evidence of returning confidence.
Two new appointments to high offices Just made by the Land Commission Russell give a glimpse of the insidious workings of practical partisan politics. Of three changes made in the list of employees, one is for the benefit of the son of M.J. Abbott, a prominent candidate before the last Republican state convention for the nomination for commissioner of public lands and buildings, the other for the benefit of the daughter of Jacob Bigler, the man who sacrificed himself as a candidate for the same position on the rump convention of alleged straight Democrats. Of course, no one will imagine for a moment that either of those appointments arose from political motives. No Republican so depreciated with partisanship Mr. Russell claims to be would be guilty of putting a Democrat in office in return for the candidacy of a straw man to divide his opponent's strength.
Army gossips in Washington are already figuring out the promotion of General Scker to General Miles to the vacant position in the lieutenant generalship of the army to be created by the retirement of General Scholfield in September, in case Congress gives the necessary authority for the continuance of that rank. But Congress is likely to do no such thing. The next Congress will be overwhelmingly Republican and if another lieutenant general is to be appointed, the appointment will more probably fall to President Cleveland's successor.
The local fire insurance agents have announced that their offices will be closed a half day each Saturday during the summer. Inasmuch as their business seeks them rather than they work their business, the inconvenience, if any, will be wholly that of the public.

Closet, mellow and third term.
New York Tribune.
No man who truly loves Grover Cleveland or the enemies he has made will take any part in the effort to nominate him for a third term. None but an enemy could desire that Mr. Cleveland should be chosen to face the cyclonic storm of popular wrath which awaits the Democratic nominee in 1896.
Finding them friends.
Buffalo Express.
A leading Mexican statesman is quoted in a dispatch to the New York Herald as saying: "Weak and small as our nation is, we have shown more courage than the United States, who encouraged us, only to desert us at the last moment." There's the rub. The United States encouraged the Mexicans only to desert them when the critical moment came. If the administration had assumed its present policy of non-interference at the outset and stuck to it, it would have been all right.
Marvelous lack of humor.
Whether it is to Japan's best interests to refuse to submit to Russian interference in her dealings with China may be open to question, but no one can help admiring the pluck and self-restraint she shows in daring to risk even the possibility of a war with so powerful a nation as Russia. Her action in this matter is the most potent indication we have yet had of Japan's rise in importance as a nation and a belligerent power. A year ago for her to do anything but meekly acquiesce would have been considered nothing short of suicidal.
The fate of the Canal.
Washington Post.
It now appears that Mr. (Ambassador Bayard) favors the acquisition by England of a right of joint ownership and control in that great commercial highway, and we are justified in assuming that the administration approves his plan. In that view of the matter, therefore, it is easy to understand our government's amiable facetiousness in the seizure of Coanto, for that is only a step in the direction both governments intend to pursue. As might have been expected, with Mr. Bayard in charge of American interests, England has the advantage, for if she continues to hold the western end of the canal she can at any moment, from her base in British Honduras, seize and control the eastern end also, thus making her possession complete.
Propel and switch.
All Europe seems to be interested in the revival of the Olympic games near Athens next year. Recently a wealthy Greek of Alexandria has offered 600,000 drachmas (about $100,000) for the restoration of the ancient race course. Cornell, which aims at international athletic prowess, should send a competing team.
Mrs. Joseph J. Underbill, now an inmate of a Home for Destitute Women and Children at Brooklyn, was left $100,000 in 1871, and at that time was a recognized society leader. She lost heavily in the panic of 1873, and, being forced into the boarding house business, lost all she had left in the Hotel Regent fire last May.
A great many people are laboring under a grievous delusion as to the real cause of hard times. In silver circles, the cause is traced to the "crime of '73," while others point to the drought of '94. Both are mistaken. Two eminent clergymen of this section, possessing the gift of superior hindsight, trace all the ills that afflict us to the circumstance that the World's Fair was kept open on Sundays. That ends the argument. Repent and be saved.
The Louisville Courier-Journal quoted scripture against certain mannish costumes affected by advanced women, but the particular passage was vague and unsatisfactory in the application. Much more explicit is the following from Ezekiel xi, 18-20: "Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the women that sew pillows to their armholes."
Behold, I am against your pillows, and will tear them from your arms. This is held in theological circles that when Grekell wrote this, he saw in the dim future the craze for puffed sleeves.

Much surprise has been created by the result of the general election that has just taken place in Denmark. A year ago the old radical party, which for more than two score years had been in constant opposition to the crown and to that government which King Christian persisted in keeping in office, although it possessed no majority in the Folketing, seemed to have definitely broken up. It was everywhere announced that the constitutional conflict was at an end and that the country had finally come to the conclusion that it was the parliament which was wrong and the monarch right. The rejoicings instituted in connection with this alleged victory now appear to have been somewhat premature, for the general election has returned no less than sixty-one radicals and socialists, twenty-eight moderate liberals, and only twenty-four conservatives, the latter party being, therefore, practically snowed under. In view of the fact that King Christian is the sovereign in Europe most closely wedded to old-time doctrines of the "right divine," as well as the most determined foe of parliamentary institutions, a conflict of a serious character may be anticipated, since it is scarcely probable that the overwhelming radical majority in the national legislature will submit any longer to the defiance by the king of all the rights and prerogatives conceded to the people by the national constitution.
It is said to be the Turkish sultan's intention to construct a railroad which, starting from Tripoli, is to be prolonged gradually to the Soudan, passing through Gadames and other great trading centers of the desert which owe their importance to being situated at the meeting place of converging caravan routes. Abdul Hamid's idea in connection with the line of railroad is not so much commercial as religious and political, since he looks to being enabled thereby to exercise a more potent influence than hitherto upon all that fanatic element of Mahometaism which in central Africa takes the form of Mahdism. The religious revival first started by the Senoussi and then continued by the late Mahdi and by his successor cannot any longer be ignored by the spiritual and temporal chief of the faith; and inasmuch as the headquarters and center of that revival are in the Soudan, it is all important that the padishah at Constantinople should place himself in direct and rapid communication therewith, even if he is compelled to use the iron steed of the giaour in lieu of the dromedary of the true believer. Surveys are now being rapidly pushed forward for the construction of the road and steps are also being taken for deepening the approaches to the port of Tripoli.

Many of the Central and South American states owe large sums in Europe. Nicaragua owes $1,425,000 to English creditors. The bonds for this loan were issued in 1884 and draw 5 percent interest. Honduras owes $10,000,000 in England and $11,000,000 in France, and no interest has been paid on her bonds since 1872. The arrears of interest on Honduras' foreign debt amount to $40,000,000. Guatemala owes a foreign debt of more than $5,000,000, Costa Rica of $10,000,000, and little San Salvador of $1,350,000. Passing to South America, the Argentine Republic has a foreign debt of $203,000,000, Brazil of $154,000,000, Chile $54,000,000, and so on through the list. These statements include only foreign debts, and all the states named have domestic debts, some of them very large. Their foreign bonds bear 4 and 5 percent interest and are held in England, Germany, and France. No doubt the holders of them would be very glad to get their governments to undertake to enforce their payment with arrears of interest, but international law would not permit that to be done.
Although in debate the socialists in the French chamber opposed the government bill for superannuation pensions for working men, it is noteworthy that they all voted for it. The main point of the scheme is the payment of a small annuity to members of benefit societies 65 years old whose total income is below a certain amount. Commenting upon the course adopted by the socialists, the correspondent of the London Times in Paris writes: "The bill passed with only two dissentients, the socialists finally having accepted what throughout they had called a compromise and contrary to their principles. The argument of the government that their plan and that of M. Bourgeois tended to cultivate in the masses the virtue of thrift was repudiated by M. Leydet and M. Jaures. The socialists also argued that the mere fact of a workman's having succeeded in laying by money for a rainy day was no gauge of his merit, for the great mass of laborers, they maintained, work in conditions which render saving impossible. Thus, it was held, the government bill cast suspicion on a majority of the indigent but hard-working masses. In a word, the socialists urged that society is bound to support the whole working class when they have reached the limit of activity and are physically superannuated. A position so theoretical was evidently beyond the bounds of practical politics. But the socialists no doubt stretched the bow further than was needed to carry the arrow to the mark at which in reality they aimed. It is their practice to ask for the whole in order that they may receive the half, with which they will, in reality, be content. Hence the fact that, in the end, they were found voting almost to a man for the clauses against which they had so strenuously pleaded."

An interesting experiment in the government of a native state is about to be made by the British government in the case of Mysore, whose maharajah died recently, after reigning with conspicuous ability for some years. His representative assembly carried the elective principle in local self-government further in certain respects than has been found expedient in other Indian territories. The prime minister, Sir Sheshadri Iyer, believes that it will be possible during the long minority of the child heir to continue the government of Mysore on the liberal lines which the late prince laid down.
The government of India has accordingly instituted for Mysore a government that reproduces on a small scale some of the features of the system of a governor general in council. By a proclamation issued at Bangalore, the administration of the state is vested in the queen regent and the prime minister, assisted by an executive council of three members, of which the prime minister is president. The practical government will rest with the president in council. His authority in regard to the executive council will correspond to that of the governor general in the supreme council of India. He will distribute the work of the state government, assigning to each of his three councilors a special branch, and he will regulate the business at meetings of the council. All questions of difficulty or of policy will be referred to him, and he will decide them personally or refer them to the full council, as he may deem best.
The German emperor, willful as he is, is not altogether incapable of learning a lesson. It is evident that the bitter feeling manifested after the opening of the new Reichstag building at the omission of the superscription to "the German People" made a lasting impression upon him. It is reported that during his recent visit to Kiel in connection with the opening of the Baltic ship canal, he remarked repeatedly that he wished the opening ceremony to be a popular festival. In the widest sense of the term, with especial consideration for all classes of his subjects. The tribunes and pavilions which had been erected for the reception of the spectators did not appear to him to be sufficiently large, and he expressed the wish that more commodious accommodation should be provided for the massed, and, if possible, that there should be no lack of opportunities for obtaining refreshment. In accordance with his desire, it was determined to extend the area originally allotted for the accommodation of the public.
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report
WASHINGTON, May 3. Dr. C. Hart Merriam, chief of the division of ornithology of the department, has been for several years engaged in examining and analyzing the contents of the stomachs of hawks, owls, crows, blackbirds, meadow larks, and other birds of North America which are supposed to be especially beneficial or injurious to the crops of farmers. The stomachs of over 7,000 birds taken at different seasons of the year have been already analyzed and the contents determined, while 12,000 are still unexamined. The results in many cases have been remarkable, showing in several notable instances that popular ideas regarding the injurious effects of certain birds were wholly mistaken, and that they have been the victims of an unjust persecution. This has been found to be especially the case with hawks and owls, for the slaughter of which many states give bounties. Pennsylvania in two years gave over $100,000 in hawk and owl bounties. Examinations of the stomachs of those birds prove conclusively that 90 percent of their food was field mice, grasshoppers, crickets, etc., which were infinitely more injurious to farm crops than they. It was found that only five kinds of hawks or owls over touched poultry and then only to a very limited extent. A bulletin now about to be press on the crow also shows that bird not so black as he has been painted by the farmers. The charges against the crow were that he ate corn and destroyed the eggs of poultry and wild birds. Examinations of their stomachs showed that they ate noxious insects and other animals, and that although 25 percent of their food is corn, it is mostly waste corn picked up in the fall and winter. With regard to crows, it was found that the shells were eaten to a very limited extent. They eat ants, beetles, caterpillars, bugs, butterflies, etc., which do much damage. Bulletins are also being prepared on the cuckoo and other blackbirds, kingbirds, meadow larks, cedarbirds, thrushes, catbirds, sparrows, etc. In many cases, popular ideas are found to be untrue. In the case of the kingbird, killed by the farmer under the impression that it eats bees, it was found that it ate only drones and robber flies, which themselves feed on bees and which destroy more bees in a day than the kingbird does in a year. The kingbird, therefore, is to be encouraged rather than slaughtered. The cuckoos are also found to be very useful birds in this country. Because the European cuckoo robbed nests and laid therein its own eggs, popular fancy attributes the same vicious habit to our own cuckoo. But it is, however, not depraved like its European namesake, but a very decent fellow, who does much good in the destruction of insects.
The result of this work, Dr. Merriam says, will tend to the protection of beneficial birds and the destruction of the injurious ones. Dr. Merriam is also preparing a map showing the life zones of the United States for birds, reptiles, and plants, a work in which he has been engaged for years.
Acquitted the Militia of Murder.
CHICAGO, May 3. Henry C. Hastings, the milkman who has been on trial for the murder of Edward P. Hillyard, was acquitted today. While the finding was that he had killed the lawyer, yet the jury declared that the prisoner was not guilty of murder, that he was insane when he shot Hillyard and has not recovered from his insanity. Hastings claimed that Hillyard had driven him to desperation because of money he owed the lawyer.
THE TEXT ###
The government of India has accordingly instituted for Mysore a government that reproduces on a small scale some of the features of the system of a governor general in council. By a proclamation issued at Bangalore, the administration of the state is vested in the queen regent and the prime minister, assisted by an executive council of three members, of which the prime minister is president. The practical government will rest with the president in council. His authority in regard to the executive council will correspond to that of the governor general in the supreme council of India. He will distribute the work of the state government, assigning to each of his three councilors a special branch, and he will regulate the business at meetings of the council. All questions of difficulty or of policy will be referred to him, and he will decide them personally or refer them to the full council, as he may deem best.
The German emperor, willful as he is, is not altogether incapable of learning a lesson. It is evident that the bitter feeling manifested after the opening of the new Reichstag building at the omission of the superscription to "the German People" made a lasting impression upon him. It is reported that during his recent visit to Kiel in connection with the opening of the Baltic ship canal, he remarked repeatedly that he wished the opening ceremony to be a popular festival. In the widest sense of the term, with especial consideration for all classes of his subjects. The tribunes and pavilions which had been erected for the reception of the spectators did not appear to him to be sufficiently large, and he expressed the wish that more commodious accommodation should be provided for the massed, and, if possible, that there should be no lack of opportunities for obtaining refreshment. In accordance with his desire, it was determined to extend the area originally allotted for the accommodation of the public.

WASHINGTON, May 3. Dr. C. Hart Merriam, chief of the division of ornithology of the department, has been for several years engaged in examining and analyzing the contents of the stomachs of hawks, owls, crows, blackbirds, meadow larks, and other birds of North America which are supposed to be especially beneficial or injurious to the crops of farmers. The stomachs of over 7,000 birds taken at different seasons of the year have been already analyzed and the contents determined, while 12,000 are still unexamined. The results in many cases have been remarkable, showing in several notable instances that popular ideas regarding the injurious effects of certain birds were wholly mistaken, and that they have been the victims of an unjust persecution. This has been found to be especially the case with hawks and owls, for the slaughter of which many states give bounties. Pennsylvania in two years gave over $100,000 in hawk and owl bounties. Examinations of the stomachs of those birds prove conclusively that 90 percent of their food was field mice, grasshoppers, crickets, etc., which were infinitely more injurious to farm crops than they. It was found that only five kinds of hawks or owls over touched poultry and then only to a very limited extent. A bulletin now about to be press on the crow also shows that bird not so black as he has been painted by the farmers. The charges against the crow were that he ate corn and destroyed the eggs of poultry and wild birds. Examinations of their stomachs showed that they ate noxious insects and other animals, and that although 25 percent of their food is corn, it is mostly waste corn picked up in the fall and winter. With regard to crows, it was found that the shells were eaten to a very limited extent. They eat ants, beetles, caterpillars, bugs, butterflies, etc., which do much damage. Bulletins are also being prepared on the cuckoo and other blackbirds, kingbirds, meadow larks, cedarbirds, thrushes, catbirds, sparrows, etc. In many cases, popular ideas are found to be untrue. In the case of the kingbird, killed by the farmer under the impression that it eats bees, it was found that it ate only drones and robber flies, which themselves feed on bees and which destroy more bees in a day than the kingbird does in a year. The kingbird, therefore, is to be encouraged rather than slaughtered. The cuckoos are also found to be very useful birds in this country. Because the European cuckoo robbed nests and laid therein its own eggs, popular fancy attributes the same vicious habit to our own cuckoo. But it is, however, not depraved like its European namesake, but a very decent fellow, who does much good in the destruction of insects.
The result of this work, Dr. Merriam says, will tend to the protection of beneficial birds and the destruction of the injurious ones. Dr. Merriam is also preparing a map showing the life zones of the United States for birds, reptiles, and plants, a work in which he has been engaged for years.

A shining hat with curling rim
And such a face beneath its brim,
Lithe figure, clothed in habit trim;
A tiny boot, with silver spur
Of course, I fell in love with her.
Quakeress, demure and said,
A modest, sweet, old-fashioned maid.
(I met her at a masquerade!)
So different from the giddy throng.
To lose my heart did not take long.
A siren, on the yellow sands,
Bewitching all upon those strands;
Spells she wove with her white hands.
No stronger than other men,
I straightway lost my heart again.
But, oh, at the Casino ball,
That blonde, the most observed of all,
So graceful, elegant, and full,
Superbly gowned, so witty, keen;
I crowned her then and there my queen.
You've dubbed me a villain, I'm a friend;
But fearless rider, Quaker said,
Fair virgins, under-sleeper maid,
Are all Miss, no, I will not speak.
She marries some one else next week.
In Society
Women often feel
The effect of too
Much society
Balls, theatres, and
Tens in rapid
Succession find
Them worn out, or
"Run-down" by
The end of the season. They suffer
From nervousness,
Insomnia and
Irregularities. The
Smile and good
Spirits take flight. It is time to accept
The help offered in Doctor Tierce's Favorite Prescription. It's a medicine which
Was discovered and used by a prominent
Physician for many years in all cases of
Female complaints and the nervous disorders which arise from it. The "Prescription" is a powerful uterine tonic and
Nervine, especially adapted to woman's
Delicate wants for it regulates and promotes
All the natural functions, builds up, invigorates and cures.
Many women suffer from nervous prostration,
Or exhaustion, owing to congestion
Or to disorder of the special functions. The
Waste products should be quickly got rid
Of, the local source of irritation relieved
And the system invigorated with the "Prescription." Do not take the so-called
Celery compounds, and nervines which
Only put the nerves to sleep, but get a
Lasting cure with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
"FEMALE WEAKNESS."
Mrs. WILLIAM HOOVER, of Bellville

Writes: "I had been
A great sufferer from
Female weakness; I tried three doctors; they did me no good; I thought
I was an invalid forever. But I heard
Of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription,
And then I wrote to him and he told me
Just how to take it.
I took eight bottles.
I now feel entirely
Well. I could stand on my feet only a short time, and now I do
All my work for my family of five."

this trial , and the charge of the court , \\ll
ecttlo the rpicvtlon whether or not a state 01
county ttcaiuror , who In the ra * ' 'ias dope *
itrd money In banks , has been guilty of t
felony. It Is claimed by tlio.st.Ue In thla trla
that ho Is. rty the defence U Is claimed thai
lie Is not , but has by custom from time Im
memorial been entitled to do EO and draw thi
Interest thereon. The state Is relying on the
decision of the supreme court of Nibrasl.a It
the Cedar county case.
Attorney Ames for the defense continued
his argument thla mornlim In favor of ad
jnlttlni ; the Capital National bank's clepos
itory bond In evidence. He said that hi
THjnnlad thin case as the most Important
one that had ever been tried In thu stall
of Nebraska. Should the defence bo sus

of 1 per cnt. or lesi than 20 cents In $100
Hut should the state prevail a numbei
of Just as good citizens as the court or him
pelf would bo Irretrevlably ruined. JJepart
Int ; from the principal point In Issue , tin
argument of Mr. Ames became quite genera
In character anil scope. Ho quoted fron
Colorado reports a dec-talon wherein a countj
trsauirer was held to be simply a bailee
eubjcpt only to the law of bailments am
only llntilo under the law , unless othervvlsi
prat Uleil by ppcel.il statute.
UEsroNsiiin.iTina ov Tmusunnns.
The attorney directed attention to the fac
that the Txmd of e\-Trcasur = r Hill only men
tloned him as state treasurer and did no
recognise him In any other way than in hli
official capacity. Ho read from Sllnnesoti
reports a case In St. Louis county In vthlcl
n draft had been drawn upon the state treas
iirer for $200,000. The state treasurer hac
ncrppted the draft and forwarded to tin
olllclal a check for the amount. The olflrla
liad failed to present the check before tin
bank , In which was deposited the fund , hat
failed The county odlclal sued the stall
treasurer for the amount , but the court :
had held that the state treasurer had con
ducted the affair In a business llko inanne ;
and was not liable. Other decisions wen
read by the attorney holding that county am
Btste treasurers were bailees for hire am
that It was lncnmbnnt upon them to conduc
their business only In the usual order o
Imslness. He Is charged with responslblllt ;
for the fund * In his care and so long as In
CTcrcl es no custody over them except In hi :
offlrtal capacity , so Jong'as ho does not con
vert them to his own use , or deposit then
In hi * own name , he Is not liable for loss.
In the case of Comcstock against Gage

held that while It may have been technically

IMPOHTANCD OP BOND TO DEFENSE.
Mr. Whecdon followed Ames for the de
fensc. Ho said that the question at Issii
was the Introduction of the depository bond c
the Capital National bank as eUJence. H
Iroad the depository law of the state. Ml
AVheedon claimed that. If given an opportun
Ity , the ilofetuo would show that of all th
jnoneys deposited by Treasurer Hill , all ha
b ° en applied to uses of the state save the sur
of $230,000 , and If given a chance , by the ail
mission of the depository bond , the dofcns
would show that even that money had bee
applied to uses of the state. Under the de
| > osltory law , If the ctate treasurer did nc
put the money In a depository designated b
the state , ho was liable to a line of $5,001
Hut It had been put there , and now the stat
if t tried to bar all evidence of that fact. To th
1 ' counsel the position of the state appcareJ t
bo this H desired the privilege of show In
that money of the state had been Illegal !
leposlted , but objected to any testimony show
Ing the contrary to bo the fact. Dy way <
hypothetical Illustration Mr. Whcedon aako
what right had the governor and attorno
teneral to go to the treasurer and ask him fo
this money without presenting a warrant. Th
constitution provided that no money shoul
jjo paid out of the treasury except on a wai
rant drawn by the state auditor. Dut sunpos
they had such warrant , what then ? H wa

' the chock be drawn It there was no money I
the Capital National bank ? The last legist :

bank. The defense In this case had the rlgl
to show , by this depository bond , how th
money became tied up In that bank. M
"Wheedon too * up the criminal law polr
which ho claimed was being urged by th
state against defendants and said that umU

WHAT IS MONEY ?
A Mr. Wheedon resumed his argument I
i -3 the afternoon. Counsel dwelt for some tlu
upon the definition ot the word "money ,
lie held that In the transfer between Wl
lard nnd Hill and Hartley the settlemei
[ / , ' Iiad been made In current funds , which I
, v oil commercial transactions was recognized i
money. The state rested their case upon tt
plea that depositing money In banks by stal
and county treasurers was a felony. Thei
was not a man within the sound of tl
counsel's volco who , if that was the law I
be enforced , would render personal servl <
for which he wna to bo paid In a check draw-
by the state treasurer , thereby becoming a
accessory to a crime.
The depository bond , which the defens
eought to Introduce In evidence , was ai
proved by Governor Crounse and Secretary i
State Allen on His 14th of January , 1S93 ,
h very day on which Hill vacated and
lartley assumed the office of sUte treasurer ,
tr. Wheedon held that , In the face ot cui-
om , established policy and practice , the old
aw against state treasurers depositing itata
noney In banks had become obioteto. It bad
> ccn cuttom from time Immemorial to do-
wslt money In banks , and It that was to be
changed Mr. Hill should have been given
nctlco to that effect. After these certificates
of deposit had been received by the state
torn Hill and deposited In a bank to the
amount ot J2S5.000 , the sum ot $49.000 was
liawn out and applied to payment ot slate
debts.
"Now , " said Mr. Whcedon , warming up.
'I ask your honors how a state treasurer
shall pay money out on tha public school
apportionment ? Shall he go to each county
reasurcr , and Individually , or by deputy ,
> ay over the counters of those treasurers
.he cash In gold , or silver , or greenbacks , cr
national bank notes ? What does he do ? He
draws a check and malls It to the county
.rcasurer , and , according to the counsel for
he state , he becomes n felon In so doing ,
Because he 1ms deposited the state money In
i bank beltre ho could check against the
same. "
Mr. Wherdon read a long decision from
Wisconsin reports In which , under a most
stringent law ag-iinst the deposit of state
funds by treasurers In banks , a prosecution
agalnrt ono ticasurer had fallen through , the
court holding that the practice of thirty
ypars had created a public policy which
exonerated the state treasurer. The case
was the state of Wisconsin against McL'et-
trldgc. The law at that time demanded
that the state funds should be kept In the
vaults of ths state treasurer , and It was
obligatory upon him to pay out tha Identical
( olns or pieces of money which ho received.
The court had held that this construction ol
the law was too narrow.
Counsel did not believe the legislature ol
this state had ever Intended to legislate tc
the effect Unit money belonging to the state
should be kept In the vault of the state
Measurer's olllca In the capltol building , and
: hat the same currency should be paid out
that had been paid In.
"This court has held so , " said Judge
Wakeley.
"I do not Lf-lleve It , " responded Mr ,
Wheedon. "I do not believe this court haa
ever ruled BO ; I do not believe It will rule so
In the case at bar. "
Counsel mid that the supreme court ol
Wisconsin , In the face of a most stringent
law , had hold that state money on deposit
was money In the state treasury. Mr ,
Whcedon admitted that the supreme- court
of Nebraska had made a ruling on this point.
I3ut ho did not believe the CM.SC had bcon a
parallel ot this ono. Two Missouri cases
were cited. In ono the treasurer ot the
state had ser.l a county treasurer a check
on a St. Louis bank for $3,033. For forty
days the county treasurer held the Chech
without presentation. In fact , he never dIO
present It at the bank. Meanwhile the St
Louis bank failed. It had been held thai
the county treasurer could not recovr from
the stnto treasurer ou account of his own
negligence. The other one was a case In
which a taxpayer had given the collector
a check for his taxes. The collector did nol
present It. The bank failed nnd the collcctoi
returned the taxpayer a delinquent. Courl
hold that the collector could not recover , as
the taxpayer had done his duty and the col
lector had neglected his.
Abandoning the state reports , Mr. Wheedor
turned tils attention to application of them tc
the case nt bar. He said that so long as the
state was drawing out $49,000 from the Cap
ital National bank not a word of complalnl
had been heard. Dut when the bank 1mt
failed , from that moment the state tried U
draw a line between the deposit ot the mouej
nnd the failure.
BEHIND THE DEPOSITORY LAW.
General John 0. Cowln for the defense fol
lowed Mr Wheedon. Ho'said that ho dis
liked to add five minutes of time to the dis
cussion of this case , but as an attorney he
owed n duty to his clients. The defendant
Hill , had gone out of olllcc without a stair
upon his private or official character Toi
years , ever since the organization of the
state , every state ofilcer had received his paj
In a check on some bank. Tor twenty-sever
years each legislature had met , and not i :
word of protest against this method of con
ducting public business had been heard
There was no question at Issue whether the
Capital National was bolvent or Insolvent ni
the tlmo Hill went out of office. It liat
failed subsequent to that time , and It hai
been made n depository , nnd Its bond hai
been accepted the day that Hill had turnei
over the olOco of state treasurer to Hartley
Judge Wnkeley had snld that the breach o
law had occurred when Hill had put tht
money In the Capital National bank Thl-
was a suit for damages ugnlnst the bonds
men of Hill. Where had the damages oc
currcd ? Suppose that when Hartley had re
ceived the certificates of deposit for $283,001
ho had sued the bank for the amount , nm
suppose the bank had confessed Judgment
paid the money Into court , and the cour
had paid It to Hartley , what would have beei
the duty ot Hartley In that case ? Under thi
law , the bank ha\lng been made a depos
Itory , It would have been obligatory on bin
to have paid it all back Into the same bank
What position , then , would the state havi
been InWhat would have been the differ
unco between Hill In that case and In thi
present' General Cowln held that then
would have been none at all. In cither casi
ho was Innocent of any criminal complicity
The officers of the state had approved the de
posltory bond , and the bank was entitled ti
the money , as It was the only depository It
the state at that time. The state got Hi
money , all that the law provided.
Mr. Ulnaker , succeeding General Cowln
said that , as he understood the case , the stati
held that all damage had accrue 1 at the timi
Hill had put the money In the broken bank.
"Suppose , for Illustration , Hill had no
turned over actual money , but In It :
stead had given Hartley a lump of gold but
lion worth by assay and In the market $283 ,
000 , Suppose that Hartley had tkcn this bul
lion to the bank and the bank had acccptet
It for $285,000 , given the state a crodlt 01
Its books for that amount , and had thei
failed. Judge Wakeley would have then comi
In and Interposed the objection that tochnlca
money had not been turned over. Would hi
then have been sustained by the court'
think not. Hut at this time Judge Wakele :
could claim that gold bullion was not turnei
over. Hut Its equivalent had been turne <
over when the bank gave the state cradl
on Its books for $285.000. The fact was thi
consideration for which the bank gave crodl
was $285,000. There can be no questloi
about that. "
WHAT THE STATE CONTENDS.
At 4 15 Mr. Lamhertson , for the state , sail
ho would not go Into a lenghtly discussion o
the authorities cited by the defense , but I
the court would examine them it would flm
that In each case the moneys In banks wen
all put there under the laws of the state li
which the transactions were comummated
Hut the contention of the btato In the casi
at bar was that under the law of Nebraski
the minute Hill put any state money li
bank It was , under that law , a conversloi
and Hill became liable to penal punishment
This court had so held In the past. Had Hll
left the state's money In the state's vault , ani
had It been levst through no negligence o
his own , ho would not have been liable Tha
was the exact distinction between the case
cited by the defense and the case at bar.
The state could produce numerous authorl
ties to sustain Itcelf , but why was It neces
ary when this very court had held will
them ? Mr. Lambertson said that custom couli
not override law. The defense had spokei
plausibly , but custom was outside of law. li
the case of the state of Wisconsin agalns
McFettrldgo all that had been decided wa
that the state was not entitled to Intores
thereon. A suit had been brought to rccove
Interest , and the court had held that , as ther
was no law authorizing state money to b
placed In banks at Interest , It could not col
lect Interest thereon. If the court wouli
examine the various statutes of this stat
It would notice an absence ot any referenc
to checks , drafts , certificates of deposit
Nothing U mentioned but actual money
There was a variance In the positions aa
sumed by the defense. In one Instance the
claim the bondsmen are not liable becaus
money was not received , only certificates o
deposit. In another Instance they claim tha
these certificates were actual money , th
equivalent of money , the equivalent of goli
bullion.
In citing the Cedar county case again Mi
Lambertson read to the effect that the su
preiua court had held that It would be
strange anomaly for a defendant to plea
a felony In bar cf prosecution for damages
The attorney applied this to the Hill cati
and said :
"It would be a strange anomaly In lai
that Hill could plead , as his counsel dl
plead , a felony for which he could be pun
Ished In bar cf a suit for damages again :
him and his bondsmen. "
The one sharp question , counsel urged , t
be decided by the court was the bond c
Moaher et al. , many of them Insolvent a
the time It wan made , to bo Introduced as a
detens * agalntt the bondsmen ot John E
Hill. From the Cth of January until tbe 14th
these certificates had been held without any
action being taken on them. This , In Itself ,
wa * rather strange. The depository law ,
counsel held , was a trine ambiguous , be
cause that while It provided that thn treas
urer should deposit money In hanks It did
not say who was to be the Judge of the re
liability ol the bank. Hut at any rate nc
money could be deposited until a bond bad
been approved. Again the law fays the
state treasurer shall deposit money In state
depositories , but Hartley had no actual
money to depotlt. He only had certificates ol
deposit
"I venture to say , " said Mr. Lambertson
"that had Hartley had $285.000 In cash he
would not have put It In the Capital Na
tional bank. Why , the very first draft ol
$33,000 $ broke the bank. That Is the evi
dence. Had Hartley taken $2S5,000 In monej
and given to the bank I believe he could
have checked It all out nnd never have losl
a dollar. The bank didn't have the money
when It Issued the certificate ! of deposit am !
was Insolvent. "
The court hero gave notice of adjournmenl

DECATUR. Neb./Mhy 3. ( Special ) U Is
an open fact that this town has been a
rendezvous for bootleggers for many > ears and
they have carried on their nefarious trade
with the Omaha Indians In defiance of the
law' , government and people. Hut the Decatur
people don't propose to tolcrato them any
more. The Omaha Indians received $25,000
In money last Monday nt their agency. Per
capita It amounted to $20 59. Tuesday they
flocked to Decatur , about 150 In number , to
drown their recent trials , troubles and tribu
lations In the stimulating Influences of fire
water and rot-gut whisky. It was not long
before drunken Indians , women as well as
men , were as thick as flies on a molasses
barrel. Depredations of nil kinds were com
mitted nnd excitement ran high Drunken
women paraded the streets , howling and act
ing ns If bedlam had broken loose. Some
threw their arms around white men's neclss
and asked for a kiss. Some of the bucks ,
when completely overcome with liquor , fell
In the road llko a wet dish rag and were
picked up later by friends nnd carried out
of town. Several wagon loads wore disposed
ot In this manner.
Knives , pistols and all sorts of deadly
weapons were as thick hero ns they arc at a
Colorado dog light. Hut luckily no one was
seriously Injured , although lots of threats
were made.
It Is safe to say that very nearly $1,000
was exchanged by the Indians for whisky.
It is not only one man who Is Interested In
the business of selling liquor to the Indians ,
but quite a number are Implicated , perhaps
twenty. A prominent business man of this
place , Henry Byram , said ho had from $200
to $500 to Invest In prosecuting the boot
leggers , nnd , furtheimote , he emphatically
stated that this godforsaken practice had to
stop. If the law could not stop It then other
means would be necessary
About twenty citizens held a meeting and
If the word had only been said a lynching
bee would soon have been In progress nnd
In the morning ono or two bootleggers would
have been dangling from the flag polo.
Everybody Is excited nnd the good element
of the town Is goingto make a strong effort
to suppress and drive out altogether this
nefarious business.
One or two church members came to Editor
DeWItt of the Nefts of this place the other
day and requested the question be agitated
that a vigilance committee be formed and
the bootleggers be wiped oft the face of the
earth.

215 V/abajh / Avo. . CHICAGO./ ' | STILL STUCK ON THE BOND
Day in the Hill Case Spent in Arguing Its Admissibility in Evidence.
DEFENSE OUTLINES A GREAT DANGER
Cites Up the Claim that It Will Hold the Claim that It Will Hold the Bond upon Appeal No One every State and
tomily Treasurer Will be Irrevocable Enacted.
LINCOLN, Mar 3. (Special.) Attorneys
consumed the greater portion of the day in
the case of the state against Hill and others
in arguing; the question of the admissibility of
the depository bond of the Capital National
bank in evidence. As the case progressed, it
grew more and more evident that the case at hand
had one of the most fair and most frequently
resulted in its consequences of any which has ever
been presented to the courts. Had the statutory
law been repealed, it would have been more so.
The decision of the jury in this trial, and the charge of the court, will affect the reception whether or not a state or county treasurer, who in the past years deposited money in banks, has been guilty of a felony. It is claimed by the state in this trial that he is, by the defense it is claimed that he is not, but has by custom from time immemorial been entitled to do so and draw interest thereon. The state is relying on the decision of the supreme court of Nebraska in the Cedar county case.
Attorney Ames for the defense continued his argument this morning in favor of admitting the Capital National bank's depository bond in evidence. He said that this was the most important
case that had ever been tried in the state of Nebraska. Should the defense be sustained none would be injured. Of $280,000,000 of assessment, the amount in dispute though apparently inconsequential, was not two-tenths of 1 percent, or less than 20 cents in $100.
But should the state prevail a number of just as good citizens as the court or himself would be irretrievably ruined. Departing from the principal point in issue, the argument of Mr. Ames became quite general in character and scope. He quoted from Colorado reports a decision wherein a county treasurer was held to be simply a bailee subject only to the law of bailments and only liable under the law, unless otherwise specified by special statute.
The attorney directed attention to the fact
that the complaint of the State Treasurer Hill only mentioned him as state treasurer and did not recognize him in any other way than in his official capacity. He read from Sinclair reports a case in St. Louis county in which a draft had been drawn upon the state treasurer for $200,000. The state treasurer had accepted the draft and forwarded to the official a check for the amount. The official had failed to present the check before the bank, in which was deposited the fund, had failed. The county official sued the state treasurer for the amount, but the court had held that the state treasurer had conducted the affair in a business-like manner;
and was not liable. Other decisions were read by the attorney holding that county and state treasurers were bailees for hire and that it was incumbent upon them to conduct their business only in the usual order of business. He is charged with responsibility for the funds in his care and so long as he does not have custody over them except in his official capacity, so long as he does not convert them to his own use, or deposit them in his own name, he is not liable for loss. In the case of Comstock against Gage ninety-seventh Illinois, Treasurer Gage had been prosecuted for placing money in the bank. It being alleged by the plaintiff that the treasurer had loaned the money. The court had held that while it may have been technically construed as a loan, it was not such under the statute and that the treasurer was not liable for criminal prosecution where the penalty was penal servitude. If the defendant in the case at bar, Ames contended, could be prosecuted criminally for depositing money in a bank, there was not a treasurer in the state who was not liable to the same conviction. But the attorney said he would cheerfully take all such cases
and bring them to this court with a firm belief of success in defending them.
The decision had held that money in a bank was actually in the state treasury.
The case was one in which embezzlement from the state treasury was charged and the defendant had set up that the money was not in the treasury, having been withdrawn from the bank by the embezzler. A Pennsylvania case was cited in which money in the hands of a trustee was placed in a bank at a small rate of interest. The money had been lost but the court held the trustee not liable as had he not deposited in some bank which he believed safe, but had continued to keep a large sum about his person as trustee, he would have been negligent and guilty of improper conduct of the affairs of the estate. The counsel closed with the statement that the practice of depositing public funds in banks was a matter of public law and public notoriety. It had been the custom of state and county treasurers ever since the state had come into the union in 1887. If the people, the state, had desired to change this public law, they would have said so through their legislative body. So far as they had legislated upon the subject, it had been in the form of permitting such deposits under certain restrictions.
IMPORTANCE OF THE BOND TO DEFENSE.
Mr. Wheedon followed Ames for the defense. He said that the question at issue was the introduction of the depository bond by the Capital National Bank as evidence. He broadened the depository law of the state. Wheedon claimed that, if given an opportunity, the prosecution would show that of all the monies deposited by Treasurer Hill, all had been applied to uses of the state save the sum of $230,000, and if given a chance, by the admission of the depository bond, the defense would show that even that money had been applied to uses of the state. Under the depository law, if the state treasurer did not put the money in a depository designated by the state, he was liable to a fine of $5,000. But it had been put there, and now the state was trying to bar all evidence of that fact. To the counsel, the position of the state appeared to be this: It desired the privilege of showing that money of the state had been improperly deposited, but objected to any testimony showing the contrary to be the fact. By way of hypothetical illustration, Mr. Wheedon asked what right had the governor and attorney general to go to the treasurer and ask for this money without presenting a warrant. The constitution provided that no money should be paid out of the treasury except on a warrant drawn by the state auditor. But suppose they had such a warrant, what then? It was the duty of the treasurer to pay this warrant by a check on the depository, and how could the check be drawn if there was no money in the Capital National bank? The last legislature had recognized, in its appropriations, the $425,000 was tied up in the Capital National bank. The defense in this case had the right to show, by this depository bond, how the money became tied up in that bank. Mr. Wheedon took up the criminal law point which he claimed was being urged by the state against defendants and said that under the law, every man who accepted a check on a bank from a state treasurer became an accessory. If that was to be held to be true, then none was safe. The twelve men on his jury would, when this case was over, go down to the state treasurer and receive, what? A check. Even the honorable court, when it drew its quarterly salary, accepted a check. The chief executive of the state, in whom the snows of age had quenched the fires of genius, would, for his service in this celebrated case, receive a check, and therefore he hailed the long procession toward the penitentiary.
At this point, the court adjourned until 2 p.m.
WHAT IS MONEY?
In the afternoon, counsel resumed his argument. He dwelt for some time upon the definition of the word "money," holding that in the transfer between Ward and Hill and Hartley, the settlement had been made in current funds, which in commercial transactions was recognized as money. The state rested their case upon the plea that depositing money in banks by state and county treasurers was a felony. There was not a man within the sound of the counsel's voice who, if that was the law, would render personal service for which he was to be paid in a check drawn by the state treasurer, thereby becoming an accessory to a crime.
The depository bond, which the defense sought to introduce in evidence, was admitted by Governor Crowne and Secretary of State Allen on the 14th of January, 1893, the very day on which Hill vacated and Hartley assumed the office of state treasurer. Mr. Wheedon held that, in the face of custom, established policy, and practice, the old law against state treasurers depositing state money in banks had become obsolete. It had been custom from time immemorial to deposit money in banks, and it that was to be changed, Mr. Hill should have been given notice to that effect. After these certificates of deposit had been received by the state from Hill and deposited in a bank to the amount of $325,000, the sum of $49,000 was drawn out and applied to payment of state debts.
"Now," said Mr. Wheedon, warming up, "I ask your honors how a state treasurer shall pay money out on the public school apportionment? Shall he go to each county treasurer, and individually, or by deputy, pay over the counters of those treasurers the cash in gold, or silver, or greenbacks, or national bank notes? What does he do? He draws a check and mails it to the county treasurer, and, according to the counsel for the state, he becomes a felon in so doing, because he has deposited the state money in a bank beneath which he could check against the same."
Mr. Wheedon read a long decision from Wisconsin reports in which, under a most stringent law against the deposit of state funds by treasurers in banks, a prosecution against one treasurer had fallen through, the court holding that the practice of thirty years had created a public policy which exonerated the state treasurer. The case was the state of Wisconsin against McLeftridge. The law at that time demanded that the state funds should be kept in the vaults of the state treasurer, and it was obligatory upon him to pay out the identical coins or pieces of money which he received. The court had held that this construction of the law was too narrow.
Counsel did not believe the legislature of this state had ever intended to legislate to the effect that money belonging to the state should be kept in the vault of the state treasurer's office in the capital building, and that the same currency should be paid out that had been paid in.
"This court has held so," said Judge Wakeley.
"I do not believe it," responded Mr. Wheedon. "I do not believe this court has ever ruled so; I do not believe it will rule so in the case at bar."
Counsel said that the supreme court of Wisconsin, in the face of a most stringent law, had held that state money on deposit was money in the state treasury. Mr. Wheedon admitted that the supreme court of Nebraska had made a ruling on this point. But he did not believe the decision had been a parallel of this one. Two Missouri cases were cited. In one, the treasurer of the state had served a county treasurer a check on a St. Louis bank for $3,033. For forty days, the county treasurer held the check without presentation. In fact, he never did present it at the bank. Meanwhile, the St. Louis bank failed. It had been held that the county treasurer could not recover from the state treasurer on account of his own negligence. The other one was a case in which a taxpayer had given the collector a check for his taxes. The collector did not present it. The bank failed and the collector returned the taxpayer a delinquent. Court held that the collector could not recover, as the taxpayer had done his duty and the collector had neglected his.
Abandoning the state reports, Mr. Wheedon turned his attention to the application of them to the case at bar. He said that so long as the state was drawing out $49,000 from the Capital National bank, not a word of complaint had been heard. But when the bank failed, from that moment the state tried to draw a line between the deposit of the money and the failure.
BEHIND THE DEPOSITORY LAW.
General John O. Cowlin for the defense followed Mr. Wheeldon. He said that he disliked to add five minutes of time to the discussion of this case, but as an attorney he owed a duty to his clients. The defendant Hill, had gone out of office without a stir upon his private or official character. For twenty-seven years, every state officer had received his pay in a check on some bank. For twenty-seven years each legislature had met, and not a word of protest against this method of conducting public business had been heard. There was no question at issue whether the Capital National was solvent or insolvent at the time Hill went out of office. It had failed subsequent to that time, and It had been made a depository, and Its bond had been accepted the day that Hill had turned over the office of state treasurer to Hartley. Judge Wakefield had said that the breach of law had occurred when Hill had put the money in the Capital National bank. This was a suit for damages against the bondsmen of Hill. Where had the damages occurred? Suppose that when Hartley had received the certificates of deposit for $283,000 he had sued the bank for the amount, and suppose the bank had confessed judgment and paid the money into court, and the court had paid it to Hartley, what would have been the duty of Hartley in that case? Under this law, the bank having been made a depository, it would have been obligatory on him to have paid it all back into the same bank. What position, then, would the state have been in? What would have been the difference between Hill in that case and in this case? General Cowlin held that there would have been none at all. In either case, he was innocent of any criminal complicity. The officers of the state had approved the depository bond, and the bank was entitled to the money, as it was the only depository in the state at that time. The state got Hill's money, all that the law provided.
Mr. Linaker, succeeding General Cowlin, said that, as he understood the case, the state held that all damage had accrued at the time Hill had put the money in the broken bank. "Suppose, for illustration, Hill had not turned over actual money, but instead had given Hartley a lump of gold but ion worth by assay and in the market $283,000. Suppose that Hartley had taken this bullion to the bank and the bank had accepted it for $285,000, given the state a credit on its books for that amount, and had then failed. Judge Wakefield would have then come in and interposed the objection that technical money had not been turned over. Would he then have been sustained by the court? Think not. But at this time Judge Wakefield could claim that gold bullion was not turned over. But its equivalent had been turned over when the bank gave the state a credit on its books for $285,000. The fact was the consideration for which the bank gave credit was $285,000. There can be no question about that."
WHAT THE STATE CONTENDS.
At 4:15 Mr. Lambertson, for the state, said he would not go into a lengthy discussion of the authorities cited by the defense, but if the court would examine them, it would find that in each case the moneys in banks were all put there under the laws of the state in which the transactions were committed. But the contention of the state in the case at bar was that under the law of Nebraska, the minute Hill put any state money in a bank, it was, under that law, a conversion, and Hill became liable to penal punishment. This court had so held in the past. Had Hill left the state's money in the state's vault, and had it been levied through no negligence of his own, he would not have been liable. That was the exact distinction between the case cited by the defense and the case at bar. The state could produce numerous authorities to sustain itself, but why was it necessary when this very court had held them? Mr. Lambertson said that custom could not override law. The defense had spoken plausibly, but custom was outside of law. In the case of the state of Wisconsin against McFetridge, all that had been decided was that the state was not entitled to interest thereon. A suit had been brought to recover interest, and the court had held that, as there was no law authorizing state money to be placed in banks at interest, it could not collect interest thereon. If the court would examine the various statutes of this state, it would notice an absence of any reference to checks, drafts, certificates of deposit. Nothing is mentioned but actual money. There was a variance in the positions assumed by the defense. In one instance, the claim is that the bondsmen are not liable because money was not received, only certificates of deposit. In another instance, they claim that these certificates were actual money, the equivalent of money, the equivalent of gold bullion.
In citing the Cedar county case again, Mr. Lambertson read to the effect that the supreme court had held that it would be a strange anomaly for a defendant to plead a felony in bar of prosecution for damages against him and his bondsmen. The attorney applied this to the Hill case and said:
"It would be a strange anomaly in law that Hill could plead, as his counsel does plead, a felony for which he could be punished in bar of a suit for damages against him and his bondsmen."
The one sharp question, counsel urged, to be decided by the court was the bond of Moaher et al., many of them insolvent at the time it was made, to be introduced as a defense against the bondsmen of John E. Hill. From the 6th of January until the 14th, these certificates had been held without any action being taken on them. This, in itself, was rather strange. The depository law, counsel held, was a time ambiguous, because while it provided that the treasurer should deposit money in banks, it did not say who was to be the judge of the reliability of the bank. But at any rate, no money could be deposited until a bond had been approved. Again the law says the state treasurer shall deposit money in state depositories, but Hartley had no actual money to deposit. He only had certificates of deposit.
"I venture to say," said Mr. Lambertson, "that had Hartley had $285,000 in cash, he would not have put it in the Capital National bank. Why, the very first draft of $33,000 broke the bank. That is the evidence. Had Hartley taken $285,000 in money and given it to the bank, I believe he could have checked it all out and never have lost a dollar. The bank didn't have the money when it issued the certificates of deposit and was insolvent."
The court here gave notice of adjournment until 9 a.m. tomorrow, intimating that there would be no session in the afternoon.

nciotlcRsr.ru 'Throated,
DECATUR, Neb., May 3. (Special) It is
an open fact that this town has been a
rendezvous for bootleggers for many years and
they have carried on their nefarious trade
with the Omaha Indians in defiance of the
law, government and people. But the Decatur
people don't propose to tolerate them any
more. The Omaha Indians received $25,000
in money last Monday at their agency. Per
capita it amounted to $20.59. Tuesday they
flocked to Decatur, about 150 in number, to
drown their recent trials, troubles and tribulations in the stimulating influences of fire
water and rot-gut whisky. It was not long
before drunken Indians, women as well as
men, were as thick as flies on a molasses
barrel. Depredations of all kinds were committed and excitement ran high. Drunken
women paraded the streets, howling and acting
as if bedlam had broken loose. Some
threw their arms around white men's necks
and asked for a kiss. Some of the bucks,
when completely overcome with liquor, fell
in the road like a wet dish rag and were
picked up later by friends and carried out
of town. Several wagon loads were disposed
of in this manner.
Knives, pistols and all sorts of deadly
weapons were as thick here as they are at a
Colorado dog fight. But luckily no one was
seriously injured, although lots of threats
were made.
It is safe to say that very nearly $1,000
was exchanged by the Indians for whisky.
It is not only one man who is interested in the business of selling liquor to the Indians, but quite a number are implicated, perhaps twenty. A prominent business man of this place, Henry Byram, said he had from $200 to $500 to invest in prosecuting the bootleggers, and, furthermore, he emphatically stated that this godforsaken practice had to stop. If the law could not stop it, then other means would be necessary.
About twenty citizens held a meeting and, if the word had only been said, a lynching bee would soon have been in progress and, in the morning, one or two bootleggers would have been dangling from the flagpole. Everybody is excited and the good element of the town is going to make a strong effort to suppress and drive out altogether this nefarious business.
One or two church members came to Editor DeWitt of the News of this place the other day and requested the question be agitated that a vigilance committee be formed and the bootleggers be wiped off the face of the earth.
Trial to Hunt Herk's Home.
PENDER, Neb., May 3. (Special Telegram) Captain Heck is working on a clue which indicates that the recent fire in the shrubbery and dry grasses next to his residence, one mile from the agency, was an attempt at incendiarism. A Winnebago has reported to the captain that an Omaha Indian set it on fire. The captain believes it was the evident intention to burn his home, as the strong wind was favorable to carry the flames to the dwelling. The fire was fortunately extinguished in time by the Indian police.
The case of assault against Bonaparte, the Winnebago Indian who scalped H. M. Rice, a brother-in-law of J. S. Lemon, with a hoe, came up for hearing this morning before Justice Downs.

It was forty rods long and all that could be found of it were two buttons and a few fragments of wire which looked as though they had passed through a furnace. The bell appeared like a flame, about two feet high along the wire.

SUPREME COURT.
On April 30, the Nebraska supreme court met pursuant to adjournment. O. H. Caldwell, eq. of Hall county, was admitted to practice. South Omaha against Lausberg, dismissed. The following causes were argued and submitted: Orfield against Jenkins on motion; Johnson against May, on motion; Nice against State, on motion; Grossman against State, on application for bail; Punk against Kansas Manufacturing company, on motion. Opinions were handed down in the following cases:
Pollard against Hurt. Enoch from Lancaster county. Opinion by Justice Post.
An agreement in the following form: "For value of goods sold, we undertake that at any time thereafter, waiving protest and notice of non-payment, shall not be a mere guarantee, but the endorsement with no enlargement of liability." Held not to sustain the effect and judgment in fact of the defendants as makers of the note in controversy.
An accommodation note or bill, within the meaning of the Instrument merchant, is one which is made or accepted not upon a consideration, but for the purpose of enabling the payee or holder to raise money on credit.
Evidence examined and held not to sustain the judgment and decree of the district court in favor of the defendants as makers of the note in controversy.
In an action upon an attachment undertaking, a claim due the principal in such bond from the plaintiff is a proper subject of set-off.
An attorney's fee for services in prosecuting an action is not measured by the amount which his client claims to be his due, but cannot exceed the amount in the hands of the advertising party belonging to his client or the amount owing to him, and is not prima facie evidence of an overcharge or either available defense in such action.
The Clayney State bank against Kittchell. Error from Antelope county. Allitt made Opinion by Chief Justice Norton.
Where a statute is claimed to be invalid on the ground that it was not enacted in the constitutional mode, such invalidity must be pleaded or in some other form in the trial court to be of any avail here. Such objection can be raised for the first time in the appellate court.
That portion of section 11, chapter 80, Compiled Statutes, which gives to the mortgagee of chattels a right of action to recover the sum therein prescribed as liquidated damages for a failure of a mortgagee or his assignee to enter satisfaction of record of a chattel mortgage which has been paid within ten days after being thereto requested does not conflict with section 3, article i, nor with section 6, article iv, of the constitution of this state. Graham against Elber, 9 Neb., 183, followed.
A demand must be made upon the mortgagee or his assignee for the satisfaction of a mortgage before an action can be maintained to recover the liquid sum named in said section 15.
The entry of satisfaction after the statutory period will not defeat such an action.
Peirson Manufacturing company against Huff. Error from Lancaster county. Opinion by Justice Post.
An accommodation maker is one who executes commercial paper without collateral - the purpose being to enable the payee or holder to thereby obtain credit.
2. One who executes a promissory note as security for another is not an accommodation maker.
3. Rules applied to evidence in support of several signers claiming to be accommodation makers.
4. A judgement will not be reversed on account of error in the admission of evidence not prejudicial to the party complaining.
State ex rel. School District No. 8, Thirston county, against Moore, Administrator. Writ denied. Opinion by Justice Harrison.
In the interpretation or construction of statutes, ascertainment of the intention of the legislature is the end or purpose to be accomplished.
2. Where a law is plain and certain in its terms and free from ambiguity, a reading suffices and no interpretation is needed or proper.
3. Statutes which authorize the issuance of bonds by the minor political subdivisions of the state are subjects for statutory construction when an interpretation is necessary, and where from a careful study and consideration of the whole act and its several parts the meaning and intent is doubtful, the doubt should be resolved in favor of the public or taxpayers.
4. The act approved March 30, 1887 (see chapter 10, section laws 1887, page 100), entitled "An act to authorize counties, precincts, townships, or towns, cities, villages, and school districts to compromise their indebtedness and issue new bonds therefor," held. Not to empower a school district to issue its bonds and deliver them to parties in compromise or to take the place of an indebtedness evidenced by school district warrants or other securities.
South Omaha National Bank vs. Wilfred et al. Appeal from Douglas county. Opinion by Commissioner Ragan.
Where a county for the payment of a debt takes a security for his indemnity and to discharge such indebtedness, the principal creditor is in equity entitled to the full benefit of that security. Illchida vs. Yoder, 10 Neb., 123, followed.
2. The doctrine of subrogation is not administered by courts of equity as a legal right, but the principle is applied to subserve the ends of justice and to do equity in the particular case under consideration. It does not rest on contract, and no general rule can be laid down which will afford a test in all cases for its application. Whether the doctrine is applicable to any particular case depends upon the peculiar facts and circumstances of such case.
3. A surety on a note, to indemnify her against loss by reason of her suretyship, and also to secure the payment of a debt due to her from the principal, took from him a mortgage. The principal afterwards gave to the payee of the note signed by the surety a mortgage to secure its payment. This mortgage pledged the same property pledged to the mortgage, and by its terms was made subject thereto in a suit to foreclose the mortgage given to secure the note signed by the surety. The latter answered and claimed a first lien on the mortgaged property to satisfy the debt owing her by her principal, which was thereupon due.
Held: That the holder of the note signed by the surety should be subrogated to her lien on the mortgaged property.
Conger vs. Dodd et al. from Sherman county. Affirmed. Opinion by Commissioner Irvine.
If a bill of exceptions discloses that important evidence has been therefrom omitted, authentication of the bill to the effect that it contains all the evidence will not control, and in such case the verdict will not be disturbed as contrary to the evidence.
2. Where error is assigned upon the giving of a certain instruction, on the ground that while abstractly correct it is misleading for want of modification, the court will not consider such assignment where it appears that the whole charge is not included in the transcript, because proper modifications may have been given in other instructions.
South Omaha National Bank vs. Farmers and Merchants National Bank. Error from Douglas county. Opinion by Commissioner Irvine.
An appearance is special when its sole purpose is to question the jurisdiction of the court. It is general if the party appearing invokes the power of the court upon an question other than that of jurisdiction. Whether it is general or special is to be determined by an examination of the substance of the pleading, and not by its form.
2. Under our code, an order of garnishment cannot be issued to a county other than that in which the principal action is brought.
High in improving.
WASHINGTON. May 3. The condition of Representative Hitt of Illinois is reported slightly improved this morning. His attending physician, Dr. W.W. Johnson, does not consider him in immediate danger.
INTERIOR DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE
Interior Department of the United States has received no information from Captain Heck at the Omaha and Winnebago reservations for at least a week. They have received no requests for troops or additional forces, and no authority has been given for the use of any military assistance. One official of the Indian service today said, "Captain Heck will be supported by this office in all his actions in endeavoring to evict the settlers, since to all appearances he is simply carrying out the orders of the Interior department. The illegal lessees will be removed, and I think that it can be done without the employment of additional forces. He now has twenty Indian police to assist him, authority having been given him recently to employ between policemen in addition to his four regulars. If, however, it develops that he is unable to enforce his orders with his present forces, he will be assisted by a detail of regular troops. It is certain that the lessees are illegal and that the holders will ultimately be compelled to leave the reservation. I do not think that the militia of the state of Nebraska will have any authority to go upon the Winnebago reservation, because the reservation is not within the jurisdiction of the state. We have really received no official information from the reservation, and all we know of the situation has been gained from the columns of The Bee, which you have showed us, and further reports will be awaited with interest."

TELEGRAPH COMPANY BREAKS.
Wire terrific relief in India at Conductor.
WEBSTER CITY, Iowa, May 3. (Special Telegram.) This section of the state is being honeycombed with telephones, and every town within a radius of fifty miles will soon be connected with Webster City. The scheme is something new and surprising, even to old telephone men, but it works like a charm. An inventive genius has struck the idea of making direct connections with the barbed wire fences that run along the patios. He tried a line between here and Dunlap, it was a success, and now he has an incorporated company which has just started into existence and is getting along. A line was hitched onto the barbed wire fence between here and Williams, twenty miles away, in one day by two men, who only used eight or ten tons of insulated wire under the road crossings that pass over the railroad. He is inventing a line to Boone, forty miles away, today, and if the barbed wire fence holds out he will push on to Des Moines.
Attorneys talk big.
OTTUMWA, Iowa, May 3. (Special Telegram.) There was a sensational passage of arms by the attorneys in the Pelzmel case today. The defense had three of the culprits recently sentenced to the penitentiary for witnesses to testify that Pelzmel had fits in jail. This caused the defense to charge that the witnesses had been tampered with by officers of the court, and a hot war of words followed, the judge finally declaring that if any more imputations were made he would fine all the attorneys heavily.

NEW YORK, May 3. Announcement is made this afternoon that Mayor Strong has asked for the resignation of Police Commissioners Murray and Kerwin, republicans Colonel In Grant and Theodore Hoosevell are to be appointed to succeed them in preserving the peace.
Berry for preserving it.
Preserves should be kept carefully from air, in a very dry place; if they stand in warm place they will mold. They should be looked at two or three times in first two months, that they may be gently boiled again if not likely to keep.

Agalnit the DttfiuUiit.
When federal court adjourned last evening
t looked very much as though the criminal
irosetiitlon of W. S Richmond , charged with
islng the malls for the distribution of letters
relating to a scheme to defraud , would come
o an untimely death. Ju-Ji.e Shlras has no\v
under advisement a matter which will de-
ernilnc the question ono way or the other
his morning. Yesterday District Attorney
'tiller offered In evidence the two letters
vrltton by Richmond upon which the Indlct-
nr-nt was based. They were promptly ob-
ected to by the attorneys for the defense
on the ground that they contained nothing
calculated to Induce any one to Invest money
n a fraudulent concern , and a heated argu-
ncnt ensued
The defense contended that on their face
ho letters were no basis for an Indictment ;
hey were simply ordinary business letters ,
such as might bo written about any concern
> y any straightforward business man. Not a
word was contained In them In the nature of
in Inducement to purchase stock. After this
question had been debated pro and con for a
couple of hours , the attorneys for the defense
dropped by the vvnjstde , for the court showed
plainly by his remarks that he was with
them.
Thcso letters were not contained In the In
dictment , but It contained an allegation to the
effect that they wcro omitted by reason of
heir great length. The attorneya for the de-
'etise , at the opening of the trial several
weeks ago , sought to have the district attor-
icy required to set forth copies of the letter ,
jut Judge Woolson held that the reason for
their oml slon as stated was sufficient. This
lid away with the possibility of having the
suit dismissed on a demurrer , and the only
alternative was to try the case on Its merits
Yesterday was the first time the contents of
lie letters have really become an Issue In the
: rlal , although the readers of The Bco arc
familiar with them.
In the course of the argument Judge Shlras
; ave It as his opinion that the government
liad the weak end of the case. If the Indict-
ncnt had been brought on the strength of the
circulars which Richmond had scattered
broadcast over the state , It would have been
very different. These circulars contained al-
cged statements of the condition of the com
pany , which was set forth In a very flatter-
ng light If these statements were false and
fraudulent , the government would have a
; oed pilma facie case against the defendant ,
ijut he could not sco the significance all the
testimony as to Richmond's transactions had ,
n view of the contents of the letters. Nev-
rtliclcss , although ho was clearly Inclined to
refuse to admit the letters In evidence , he
declined to rule on the question until he
had taken further time for consideration
Ho will decldo It this morning.

Lively Discussion of tlio Cltj' Financial Con
dition mid the VVuy Out.
The Good Government league held another
meeting at the superior court room last
evening. Only a handful were present , but
the debate was not the less vigorous on that
account.
The committee on retrenchment and reform
made Its report through James McCabe , less
widely known as "John Rustlcus. " It ex
pressed surprise that the city officials should
take exception to the wholesale charges of
boodlerlsm that were launched at their heads
at the last meeting , and then rehashed the
matters that wcro brought before the club
at that meeting. Some one Introduced n
question relative to the Issuance of $10,000
In water fund warrants when the city had
no money with which to pay them , and no
chance of getting any. McCabe's answer to
this brought Spencer Smith to his feet in
defense of the present city administration.
H had done well , he said , to keep the
ciedlt of the city up to Its present high
standard and reduce the bonded Indebtedness
during the last few years. He explained that
one reason the present administration had
had to rustic for funds so hard lay In the
fact that the Interest on special assessment
bonds had come duo twice a > ear and had to
be paid by the city , while the city had col
lected the Interest from the property owners
only once a year , and then only on the pay
ment that fell duo that jear In this way
the city had constantly run behind , until U
became necessary to make up the deficiency
by the usa of vigorous measures.
A transfer of ? 25.000 had been made from
the police fund to the general fund and usetl
In paying the interest , and then general fund
warrants had to be Issued to make up this
deficiency. The mldeeds of former adminis
trations were responsible for the condition In
which the present administration found
Itself , and it had done the best It could , and
that , he thought , was very well Indeed.
McCabe replied that If the officials issued
general fund warrants every one of them
ought to be In the penitentiary. He read a
vast array of figures and talked of the al
leged crookedness of city cfficers.
Smith replied that lie did not represent
the government , but was present only as a
citizen who did not want to see the city's
credit needlessly attacked. He then read a
lot of figures which showed that since 1S01
the bonded Indebtedness had bsen reduced
from $911,578 to $823.772.
Judge James said that Included special as
sessment bonds , which were paid by the
property owners , and not by the city , which
acted merely as a guarantor. Then Smith
road some more figures , in which ho proved
that the general bonded Indebtedness line
been reduced from $140,000 to $140,000 In the
same length of time
The result of all the discussion was the
pnctage of a resolution stating It as the sen
timent of the club that the changing of gen
eral fund warrants Into Judgments and the
pu > rnent of general fund warrants from the
Judgment fund ought to be done awny with
McCabe wanted an addenda tacked on stat
ing that If the city council did not carry cut
the wishes of the club the club would take
measures , legal or otherwise to see that II
did. but the club refused to sanction an > thing
that savored so much of war on the city gov
ernment
On motion of L W. Ross the Judiciary
committee was Instructed to Inquire Into the
terms and duration of the city's contracl
with the water works company. He also
recommended that the question be looket
Into whether It was not time to make a
change In the law regulating the power of
cities to make public improvements , but no
tfctlon wr.s taken.
The club adjourned for two weeks.

TO MAI.NTAIN 1IIK CITY'S CHKUIT
Council 1'lnn * for HcfmicJIni ; llomli and
Mnlirl n Miitoinent.
The city council held a meeting yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of taking action
with reference to the proposed refunding of
city bonds. Mason , Lewis & Co. agreed to
take $40,000 worth of bonds running twenty
years , giving the city the privilege of taking
them up at any time after ten years , nt a
premium of J228 , the bonds to bear 4 % per
cent Interest. During the post few days It
has been discovered that the city had no
legal authority to issue ten and twenty-year
bonds , but only Ihe and twenty. These , of
course , were less tempting to the capitalists
who were looking for long Investments , and
Mason , Lewis & Co. declined to take them
at more than their par value. They agreed ,
however , to have the bonds llthograhped at
their own expense , which , under the old ar
rangement , would have had to be done by
the city.
Councllmen Spetmnn , Brewlck and Bar-
stow , City Treasurer Gorham and Auditor
Gould , who were appointed a committee to
float the bonds , made a report to the council
stating these facts , nnd the report was
adopted and the sale authorized. With the
money thus brought into the city treasury
the old 6 per cent bonds will be redeemed
The statements made at a recent meeting
of the "Good Government club" were con
sidered derogatory to the city's credit , and ,
although nothing was said about the club It
self , it was easy to see what gave rise to
the following resolution , which was unani
mously adopted and ordered published to the
world :
Whereas , It has come to the attention of
the members of the city council that re
ports nre In circulation In regard to the
Indebtedness of this city which are , in our
Judgment , Incorrect nnd untrue , nnd which
already have done nnd are calculated to
do Brent nnd Irreparable Injury to the
credit nnd financial good standing of the
city , and ,
Whereas We nre advised by eminent legal
counsel that the Indebtedness of the city
does not now and never has exceeded the
limit Imposed bv the constitution of the
state , therefore , be It

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Schlichtmeyer Stands a Pine (Jimco of Escaping Punishment by Lure,
INDICTMENT RESTS ON POOR BASIS
Letters Made the Foundation of the Trial,
If Admitted, Will Not Show Cause for Criminal Penalty
Against the Defendant.
When federal court adjourned last evening, it looked very much as though the criminal prosecution of W. S. Richmond, charged with larceny of the mails for the distribution of letters relating to a scheme to defraud, would come to an untimely death. Judge Shiras has now under advisement a matter which will determine the question one way or the other this morning. Yesterday District Attorney Tillotson offered in evidence the two letters written by Richmond upon which the indictment was based. They were promptly objected to by the attorneys for the defense on the ground that they contained nothing calculated to induce anyone to invest money in a fraudulent concern, and a heated argument ensued. The defense contended that on their face the letters were no basis for an indictment; they were simply ordinary business letters, such as might be written about any concern by any straightforward business man. Not a word was contained in them in the nature of an inducement to purchase stock. After this question had been debated pro and con for a couple of hours, the attorneys for the defense dropped by the side, for the court showed plainly by his remarks that he was with them. These letters were not contained in the indictment, but it contained an allegation to the effect that they were omitted by reason of their great length. The attorneys for the defense, at the opening of the trial several weeks ago, sought to have the district attorney required to set forth copies of the letters, but Judge Woolson held that the reason for their omission as stated was sufficient. This rid away with the possibility of having the suit dismissed on a demurrer, and the only alternative was to try the case on its merits. Yesterday was the first time the contents of the letters have really become an issue in the trial, although the readers of The Sco are familiar with them. In the course of the argument, Judge Shiras gave it as his opinion that the government had the weak end of the case. If the indictment had been brought on the strength of the circulars which Richmond had scattered broadcast over the state, it would have been very different. These circulars contained alleged statements of the condition of the company, which was set forth in a very flattering light. If these statements were false and fraudulent, the government would have a good prima facie case against the defendant, but he could not see the significance of all the testimony as to Richmond's transactions had, in view of the contents of the letters. Nevertheless, although he was clearly inclined to refuse to admit the letters in evidence, he declined to rule on the question until he had taken further time for consideration. He will decide it this morning. GOOD GOVERNMENT LEAGUE: ALTERNATE Lively Discussion of the City Financial Condition and the Way Out. The Good Government league held another meeting at the superior court room last evening. Only a handful were present, but the debate was not the less vigorous on that account. The committee on retrenchment and reform made its report through James McCabe, less widely known as "John Rusticus." It expressed surprise that the city officials should take exception to the wholesale charges of boodling that were launched at their heads at the last meeting, and then rehashed the matters that were brought before the club at that meeting. Someone introduced a question relative to the issuance of $10,000 in water fund warrants when the city had no money with which to pay them, and no chance of getting any. McCabe's answer to this brought Spencer Smith to his feet in defense of the present city administration. He had done well, he said, to keep the credit of the city up to its present high standard and reduce the bonded indebtedness during the last few years. He explained that one reason the present administration had had to rusticate for funds so hard lay in the fact that the interest on special assessment bonds had come due twice a year and had to be paid by the city, while the city had collected the interest from the property owners only once a year, and then only on the payment that fell due that year. In this way, the city had constantly run behind, until it became necessary to make up the deficiency by the use of vigorous measures. A transfer of $25,000 had been made from the police fund to the general fund and used in paying the interest, and then general fund warrants had to be issued to make up this deficiency. The misdeeds of former administrations were responsible for the condition in which the present administration found itself, and it had done the best it could, and that, he thought, was very well indeed. McCabe replied that if the officials issued general fund warrants everyone of them ought to be in the penitentiary. He read a vast array of figures and talked of the alleged crookedness of city officials. Smith replied that he did not represent the government, but was present only as a citizen who did not want to see the city's credit needlessly attacked. He then read a lot of figures which showed that since 1901 the bonded indebtedness had been reduced from $911,578 to $823,772. Judge James said that included special assessment bonds, which were paid by the property owners, and not by the city, which acted merely as a guarantor. Then Smith read some more figures, in which he proved that the general bonded indebtedness had been reduced from $140,000 to $140,000 in the same length of time. The result of all the discussion was the passage of a resolution stating it as the sentiment of the club that the changing of general fund warrants into judgments and the payment of general fund warrants from the judgment fund ought to be done away with. McCabe wanted an addendum tacked on stating that if the city council did not carry out the wishes of the club the club would take measures, legal or otherwise, to see that it did, but the club refused to sanction anything that savored so much of war on the city government. On motion of L. W. Ross, the Judiciary committee was instructed to inquire into the terms and duration of the city's contract with the water works company. He also recommended that the question be looked into whether it was not time to make a change in the law regulating the power of cities to make public improvements, but no action was taken. The club adjourned for two weeks. H. M. Williams, Carries the largest stock of high-grade bicycles of any Dealer in the west.

TO MAINTAIN THE CITY'S CREDIT
Council Meeting for Refunding; Home and Municipal Maintenance.
The city council held a meeting yesterday afternoon for the purpose of taking action with reference to the proposed refunding of city bonds. Mason, Lewis & Co. agreed to take $40,000 worth of bonds running twenty years, giving the city the privilege of taking them up at any time after ten years, at a premium of $228, the bonds to bear 4% per cent interest. During the past few days it has been discovered that the city had no legal authority to issue ten and twenty-year bonds, but only the ten and twenty. These, of course, were less tempting to the capitalists who were looking for long investments, and Mason, Lewis & Co. declined to take them at more than their par value. They agreed, however, to have the bonds lithographed at their own expense, which, under the old arrangement, would have had to be done by the city.
Councilmen Spetmann, Brewster and Barstow, City Treasurer Gorham and Auditor Gould, who were appointed a committee to float the bonds, made a report to the council stating these facts, and the report was adopted and the sale authorized. With the money thus brought into the city treasury, the old 6 percent bonds will be redeemed.
The statements made at a recent meeting of the "Good Government club" were considered derogatory to the city's credit, and, although nothing was said about the club itself, it was easy to see what gave rise to the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted and ordered published to the world:
Whereas, It has come to the attention of the members of the city council that reports are in circulation in regard to the indebtedness of this city which are, in our judgment, incorrect and untrue, and which already have done and are calculated to do great and irreparable injury to the credit and financial good standing of the city, and,
Whereas, We are advised by eminent legal counsel that the indebtedness of the city does not now and never has exceeded the limit imposed by the constitution of the state, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the following statement of the city's indebtedness be submitted for publication

Commissioner Untried $1.00
WASHINGTON. May 3 The resignation of Mr. Charles Lyman of Connecticut as a member of the United States civil service commission is in the hands of the president. It is not known just what this signifies, but it is regarded as likely that the commission will be practically reorganized. Messrs. Lyman and Roosevelt are republicans, Mr. Proctor, the third member, being a democrat. The last named will continue on the commission, it is understood that Mr. Lyman's resignation was desired some months ago, but the matter was allowed to go over until recently.

There thry found the mn > or , now Jolnod
bv other city otllclals , awaiting them. The
xdlcp captain removed the nippers nnd Julius
stood alone In the center of the room facing
tin- concentrated glare of Its occupants ,
"I have sent for jou , " said the mayor ,
the tllerce somewhat abruptly , "to
ask whether you have reconsidered your de
termination. "
Heforo he could speak the mayor went on :
"You must tec that jour position Is n most
perilous one. ICvcn If you arc willing to In
dict the frightful consequences which this
barbarians act must entail upon hundreds
of Innocent pcoplo vrtio have never harmed
jou , certainly yon must have some regard
for your own safety. "
"Have j-ou found proof that I sent up that
balloon ? " tuked Julius.
"Tim circumstantial proof Is strong
enough , " at.svvercd the maj'or.
"Ah. then j-ou have not found direct
proof ? "
"Hut you Imvo satu you know' who did
send It up. "
"Pardon me. I have not. Nor bavo j-ou
got enough evidence against me to warrant a
I ollco justice In holding me for one moment ;
and even If you had , how would It help j'ou
to meet the emergency ? Do j-ou fully realize
that the limit of time staled on the placard
will ho reached now In about twenty min
utes ? "
Whether his hearers had appreciated the
fact before or not there was not one of
them who did not feel a distinct shock when
these last words vvcro coolly uttered.
"Therefore , " continued Julius , "let me
como to a plain nnd slmplo business proposi
tion and answer jour question by another.
Are jou icadj' to accept my terms , or are
you not ? "
"How long will It take to accomplish what
you say jou can do ? " asked the mayor ,
"About six minutes. "
"Can you do It alouo' "
"No , I want help three men. "
"Hut If you fall ? "
"I cannot fa 1. "
The major drew his pocketbook from his
pocket , opened It , took out the check , signed
and certified a.s before described and held It
for a moment Irresolutely.
"Does this man demand that wo pay over
this money to him before he performs his
undertaking ? " s = ald the comptroller sharply ,
advancing to the m.ij'or's elbow.
Jullii ! laughed.
"Oh , no. ho said. "I have perfect faith lu
the mayor. Ha\o I your honor's word that
this shall be paid mo and a safe conduct on
board a steamer for the foreign port I may
name bo afforded Immediately after I have
done my part' "
The mayor looked at the sat faces around
him. None of those tightly compressed lips
opened to suggest any means of es > cape. The
comptroller nodded half voluntarily.
"You have It , " said the chief magistrate
quietly , replacing the draft lu his pocket.
Julius drew a long breath. Then , pointing
to thice policemen he asked that they be
directed to assist him. This granted he
took from his pocket a little Instrument like
a compass , In which a needle shivered and
shook , and then , stepping to the double

PASSING OF A NOTED SAILOR
Death or tlin MUM Wlu T.nsha I F.irr.iRHt
to tlio lilcgliii ; .
The death at Annapolis , Maryland , of an
old man-of-war's man , John II. Know leu , re
calls a dramatic Incident of the war which
has become historical , nnd one that the late
\Vllllam I'ngo made the subject of his well
known plctuio.
On the morning of August G , 1SG4 , says
Harper's Weekly , Admiral Karragut stood
In the port ninln-rlgglng of the llagahlp
Hnrtford , several fret ubovu the deck , as his
squadron entered Mobile bay. From this
elevated position the admiral could view the
progress of the light , watch the movements
of the confederate ram Tennessee , com
manded by his old friend Buchanan , and ,
also communicate easily with the Metacomnt ,
lashed alongside to port. As the heavy firIng -
Ing Increased , nnd tlio smoke hung over the
deck , step by step the admiral climbed tlio
rigging to gain a clearer view of the bay ,
until he reached the futtock-shrouds just
under the "top. " Here , leaning against the
stny , he Intently watched the engagement.
C.i p tn In Drayton anil the olllcers Eta mi Ing on
the pcop-dcck. observing his perilous posi
tion , nnd fully aware that even a slight
wound might cause the admiral to loise his
footing , huiilcdiy ordered the Signal Quar
termaster ICnowlei to lake n piece of rope up
to the admiral ami make his position secure.
TliU Is the simple &tatemont of Kiiowles to
the writer : "Air. .Watson ( now Captain J.
C. ) ordered me to go up In the port maln-
rlgglng , where the admiral was nml
put a rope around him. I cut off a
fathom or two from a new load line
which was lying on dcrk , went up
the ratlings , to where the admiral was standIng -
Ing with opera glasses in his hand , just
under the futtuuli shrouds , and made the for
ward end of the line fast As I took the
other end around the admiral he passed the
icmark that the rope vvaj not necessary , but
I went on and made the after end sccuro
I don't think he notlc-cl the rope around
him , as woeic hrpiaro abreast of Fort Mi > r-
gan , and It was pretty hot work , but when
the ship got clear of the forts the admiral
cast the rope adrift before he could coma
down " This statement li certified to by
James Pmlth of Ilaltlmorc , capjaln of the
rnlzzentcp.
The controversy In regard to this Incident
arose from the fact that Farragut cams
down on deck quickly after thy ship ) en
tered the bay , but clrcurnstauc a nbuvo re-
lalotl are fully corroborated by Drayton ,
Watson , and , In fact , by letters of Farragut
lilnui'lf. Subsequently when the Hartford
rammed the Tennessee , ths admiral was In
the port mlzzen rigging , where. Watson
says , "I secured him wllh my own hn > l t >
prevent his being tin own out of the rigging
by the uhoUt "f the collision "

The cavalry captain removed the nippers and Julius stood alone in the center of the room facing the concentrated glare of its occupants. "I have sent for you," said the mayor, the sheriff somewhat abruptly, "to ask whether you have reconsidered your determination." Before he could speak the mayor went on: "You must see that your position is a most perilous one. Even if you are willing to indicate the frightful consequences which this barbarians' act must entail upon hundreds of innocent people who have never harmed you, certainly you must have some regard for your own safety." "Have you found proof that I sent up that balloon?" asked Julius. "The circumstantial proof is strong enough," answered the mayor. "Ah, then you have not found direct proof?" "But you know who did send it up," asserted the mayor. "Pardon me, I have not. Nor have you got enough evidence against me to warrant a office justice in holding me for one moment; and even if you had, how would it help you to meet the emergency? Do you fully realize that the limit of time stated on the placard will be reached now in about twenty minutes?" Whether his hearers had appreciated the fact before or not, there was not one of them who did not feel a distinct shock when these last words were coolly uttered. "Therefore," continued Julius, "let me come to a plain and simple business proposition and answer your question by another. Are you ready to accept my terms, or are you not?" "How long will it take to accomplish what you say you can do?" asked the mayor, "About six minutes." "Can you do it alone?" "No, I want help from three men." "But if you fall?" "I cannot fail." The mayor drew his pocketbook from his pocket, opened it, took out the check, signed and certified as before described and held it for a moment irresolutely. "Does this man demand that we pay over this money to him before he performs his undertaking?" said the comptroller sharply, advancing to the mayor's elbow. Julius laughed. "Oh, no," he said. "I have perfect faith in the mayor. Have I your honor's word that this shall be paid to me and a safe conduct on board a steamer for the foreign port I may name be afforded immediately after I have done my part?" The mayor looked at the silent faces around him. None of those tightly compressed lips opened to suggest any means of escape. The comptroller nodded half voluntarily. "You have it," said the chief magistrate quietly, replacing the draft in his pocket. Julius drew a long breath. Then, pointing to the three policemen, he asked that they be directed to assist him. This granted, he took from his pocket a little instrument like a compass, in which a needle shivered and shook, and then, stepping to the double cable which led into his room, he placed his hand between the two strands to separate them slightly, and held his compass over one of them. The needle turned rapidly. Then, as he satisfied, he beckoned his assistants to follow, and led the way to the roof. The sound impressions thence received by the mayor and his companions, who remained in the attic room, and their interjectory remarks were as below reported. From the roof: A promiscuous scuffling of four pairs of feet. The tin sheets of the roof creak and creek and make sharp, metallic, crackling noises. The walking ceases. One minute gone! A single voice can be heard, evidently explaining something, but the words cannot be followed. The pairs of feet scatter, the scuffling and creaking noises come from different directions. Two or three gruff voices talk simultaneously. In the Room: "What are they arguing about?" asks someone petulantly. Two minutes gone! From the Roof. The feet draw together again. Inarticulate noises, which might be regarded as laughter, if that were conceivable in the circumstances. Various hard stamps on the tin. Then, with startling distinctness, the words: "Well, begorra, if I ever saw..." And then the sentence is clipped off, as if it were a suddenly curtailed telephone message. Four minutes gone! In the Room: The listeners look at one another in surprise. "Don't you think, Mr. Mayor," remarks the superintendent of police, uneasily, moving closer, "that we should..." "Scolding" The cook, within the kitchen stood, her victim was the grocery-boy, upon whose hands upon her hips, And softly thus she showed him: And many a word to the angry words over what a little fool you are, Come pouring from her lips. To bring such bluff to me, Take high price baking powder back, And bring me "Calumet," And if he did not go straightway, She's likely scolding yet.
CALUMET BAKING POWDER COMPANY, CHICAGO.
"Toward the floor," that we indeed better proceed to the "assembly."
Now, (alone), all together and assemble the whole in Julius.
The beginning of foot walking in regular sequence, and brooding (after) as it brooms more distant.
More eculating; of feet, as if running back.
Then, tramp stamping.
The voice sings, "Sing it up, away you go!" The feet thud, and the old roof creases and hangs and sags.
Sinulmites in the bloom. The ceiling shakes and invents. The plaster begins to fall. The mayor moves toward the door; so does the company.
From the roof, crash!
Out of the room tear the people in a wild headlong rush. The mayor gains the street floor first and rapidly ascends the ladder.
Crash! Like the falling of a chimney, the bricks thunder down on the tin roof.
His honor's head rises above the hatchway, but only to be buried in a huge, tight, silky mat, which settles down over him and his opening with its voluminous folds.
Downward he steps, involuntarily, upon the fingers of the man next below, who, in an agonized effort to steady himself, sits on the shoulder of the individual immediately beneath.
The mayor slides down the ladder. Stifled howls of anguish and wild chagrin come therefrom in tones half smothered by the furors of gas seething from the silk.
A moment later, the people on the roof drag the great fabric clear of the opening. Again, the mayor leads the way.
The moon emerges from an obscuring cloud, as if to greet him, as he steps out upon the tin.
And there he perceives:
Lights flashing from the adjacent buildings and people running along the roofs and waving their hats. From the street a confused hum, then a mighty roar of deafening cheers, resounding the avenues of the great city, until it seemed as if all New York wore chanting the paean of its deliverance.
But nearer at hand-
There was the confused shape of the balloon, hat and motionless, a tangle of cordage, the shattered remains of a huge water pitcher. Three policemen hopelessly out of breath in paroxysms of laughter.
And as the central figure, Julius, triumphant.
The peril was averted, and in a way which no one had thought of.
For the three police had seized the wire and had by it hauled down the balloon!
PASSING OF A NOTED SAILOR
Death of the Old Man Whom Thousands Loved to Follow:
The death at Annapolis, Maryland, of an old man-of-war's man, John H. Knowles, recalls a dramatic incident of the war which has become historical, and one that the late William Irving made the subject of his well-known picture.
On the morning of August 6, 1864, says Harper's Weekly, Admiral Farragut stood in the port main-rigging of the battleship Hartford, several feet above the deck, as his squadron entered Mobile bay. From this elevated position the admiral could view the progress of the light, watch the movements of the Confederate ram Tennessee, commanded by his old friend Buchanan, and, also communicate easily with the Metacomment, lashed alongside to port. As the heavy firing increased, and the smoke hung over the deck, step by step the admiral climbed the rigging to gain a clearer view of the bay, until he reached the futtock shrouds just under the "top." Here, leaning against the stays, he intently watched the engagement.
Captain Drayton and the officers standing on the poop deck, observing his perilous position, and fully aware that even a slight wound might cause the admiral to lose his footing, hastily ordered the Signal Quartermaster Knowles to take a piece of rope up to the admiral and make his position secure.
This is the simple statement of Knowles to the writer: "Mr. Watson (now Captain J. C.) ordered me to go up in the port main-rigging, where the admiral was and put a rope around him. I cut off a fathom or two from a new line of life which was lying on deck, went up the ratlines, to where the admiral was standing with opera glasses in his hand, just under the futtock shrouds, and made the forward end of the line fast. As I took the other end around the admiral, he passed the remark that the rope was not necessary, but I went on and made the after end secure. I don't think he noticed the rope around him, as we were abreast of Fort Morgan, and it was pretty hot work, but when the ship got clear of the forts the admiral cast the rope adrift before he could come down." This statement is certified to by James Powell of Baltimore, captain of the razeteen.
The controversy in regard to this incident arose from the fact that Farragut came down on deck quickly after the ship entered the bay, but circumstances above relate are fully corroborated by Drayton, Watson, and, in fact, by letters of Farragut himself. Subsequently, when the Hartford rammed the Tennessee, the admiral was in the port main-rigging, where Watson says, "I secured him with my own hand to prevent his being thrown out of the rigging by the shock of the collision."
John H. Knowles was born at Sussex Landing, Washington County, Rhode Island, April 10, 1830. At the time of his death, he had just completed his enlistment, having been continuously in the navy since May 15, 1859. He served on the Constellation, Brooklyn, and Phoenix, and on the Hartford during the whole war, participating in all her engagements. Since 1865, he had been attached to the Naval academy. He was proud of the fact that he was a "true-born American of old Worcester Williams stock," and that he hoisted the first rear admiral's flag in the United States navy, June 1862.
He had a fine record in the service, and was a good specimen of the "men behind the guns."
Funeral:

Interment will take place from the Herman Latheran church, Twelfth and Market streets, Tuesday, May 3, 1898, at 10 a.m. Mother of Miss Belle Luray and Mrs. Frank Hayward, 111 South Twenty-fourth street, May 3, 1898.

WASHINGTON , May 3. Indian Agent
Inlph Nail has sent a dispatch to the com-
ml sloner of Indian affairs In reference to the
reported troubles at the Turtle Mountain
hlppewa Indian reservation In North Da
kota. Mr. Hall says : "Everything U quiet
on the Turtle mountain reservation now.
\ POFSO of United States marshals has
arrived to majke arrests , and I cannot tell
what the outcome will be. The Indians as a
whole have no interest In this trouble and
are peaceably Inclined. Little Shell and
about twenty of his. followers are the only
ones who are Interested , but I believe the
jalance will keep them quiet. Am trying
o hold all the Indians on the reservation
and keep them away from St. John , where
the trouble Is located. "
The Indian bureau officials say that Little
Shell has for a long time been at the bottom
of all the difficulties that have arisen on the
reservation. Another chief cause of trouble
Is said to bo the presence of a large number
of Canadian Indians , who cross the border
only a few miles distant and help to cat up
the government suppllss , leaving the United
States Indians short. The last congress ap
propriated $5.000 for the relief ot these In
dians , and this amount has been placed to
the credit of the agent , who Is expending It
for their benefit.

hundred dollars Turning to the dealer , hu
remarked : "You seem so d d cute that
I believe you may hand me the money I

request with a cocked revolver , and IJaker ,

formed a ring around the combatants and
urged them on. They fought all over the

fall down stairs into Ross' dressing room ,
where the fight was renewed. When the

question has orison as to the Insurance on
the life of Catherine Glng , for whose murder
Harry Hayward Is to hang. Her twin sister ,
Julia Glng of Auburn , N Y , , has been ap
pointed administrator of her estate and an
effort will be made to collect Hie $10,000
Insurance. The policies were assigned to
Hayward and he will be made a party to the
suit. It is claimed that she took out the
policies In good faith and that the ulterior
motives of Hayward cut no figure In the
liabilities ot the companies , the New York
Life and the Travelers Accident.
The companies are not likely to resist
pajment If the court sets aside the assign
ment of Hayvvard as fraudulent and without
consideration.

STJINO TO RECOVER LICENSE
Dealers Attnclc Coiiitltutlnnnllty of Ordin
ance Arm-Mine Them SIOO Kach ,
The coal dealers of the city have begun a
war In the courts upon the city of Omaha
and the Omaha school district , assailing the
right of those two corporations to levy a tax
upon their occupation. One of their number ,
L A. Harmon , has secured an assignment of
thp various claims of twenty-four dealers
and sues the two corporations to recover the
sum of $2,400 , the amount of tax the coal
men paid Into the city treasury during the
year 1891.
On June 1 , 1891 , the mayor of Omaha ap
proved ordinance No. 2754 , regulating the
business of coal dealers. In the ordinance It
was provided that each dealer should pay
an annual tax of $100 , the tax to Insure ths
Issuance of a license authorizing the selling
of black diamonds. The dealers were to
deliver to each purchaser a card , Indicating
the weight and kind of coal sold when a
sale was made. Thb buyer then might have
the coal weighed arid if It did not tally with
the weight Indicated bj > the city scales the
dealer paid for weighing1 , otherwise the buyer
paid. A fine of from So to $100 was levied
for either a failure to comply with the terms
of the ordinance or for committing a fraud.
The dealers objected fo paying the tax and
paid under protest , faying that they Intended
to hold the city liable. The at
torneys for the plaintiffs charge that
the ordinance Is oppressive and restrictive In
its nature , In that it operates as a means of
raising 0. revenue , being not levied , as , the
law provides , is a mere police regulation
The law. It Is claimed , la Inequitable and
void , and injurious to the public welfare , and
more particularly to the coal dealers , who
allege that they carry on a business that
should not be restrlct'ed or prohibited , a
result whicliltliey charge to-the operation of
the ordinance.
Harmon In his petition recites that the
coal dealers were bullied Into paying the city
because they were severally told that they
would bo arrested unless they complied with
the teims l the ordinance. " Itather than go
to Jail they paid , preferring to sue and get
their money back later.
H McClelland Is the only dealer who ever
brought a suit individually. The school dis
trict Is made a defendant because under the
ordinance It claims the right to the fine or
license money. _

Early yesterday Charles Platz fell from
a second story window on the south side of
the Alnscow block at Fourteenth and Leaven-
worth streets and sustained some severe
bruises. Ho struck on Ills head and received
a gash about an Inch long , which extended
to the bone. He was also hurt about the
shoulders and back , the nature ot the In
juries being such as to cause sum ? appre
hension concerning his recovery. He was
taken to the Methodist hospital.
When found by James Smith he was lying
on the sidewalk without coat , hat or shoes
Platz told Smith that he had been slugged
and that his missing articles had been car
ried off by the highwaymen An examination
of the room above disclosed the fact that the
window was open and the blinds had been
torn where I'latz had evidently clutched them
to save himself from falling The occupants
ot the flat stated that Platz was In the habit
of sitting In the window and sometimes fallIng -
Ing asleep there. Ho was slightly Intoxicated
when ho went to his room , and at 10 o'clock
Thursday night he was noticed sitting In
the window.

KICKING ON WATER BILLS.
Olllclnts Clilin thnt I lie Cltj Is lining
llmrKed l.xresalro Itntcn.
Among the bills which are being held back
by the finance committee of the city council
for Investigation Is one In which the Ameri
can Water. Works company asks for $ S8.C3
for water furnished for the city hall from
March 18 , to April 17 , 1895. This is one
of the results of the fight between the water
works company and the city and It Is not
considered likely that It will be reported until
the present controversy Is decided.
In the ordinance under which the water com
pany does business , certain uses arc specified
for which water must be furnished to the
city free of charge. These were supposed to
Include all municipal purposes , but more re
cently It has been discovered that the
library board , city hall , city Jail and engine
houses were net Included In the free water
distribution. Nevertheless , no bills were
ever sent In , and by a mutual understand
ing these were Included In the nonpaying
establishments.
After the continued refusal of the city to
pay the bills of the water company on the
ground of Inadequate service , this peculiarity
In the ordinance was suddenly taken ad
vantage of. The library board was notified
on March 8 , that unless Its water bills were
paid before 10 o'clock on that day the water
would bo shut oft. The threat was not car
ried Into effect. President Heed giving his
personal assurance that the bills wculd be
paid as soon as they could bo audited. Just
previous to this the water company pre
sented n bill to the city comptroller for water
rent for the city hall during the entire term
of Its occupancy , and this was referred to a
committed , where It still remains The addi
tional bill for last month went to the same
committee. Since then one or two members
of the council have been doing a little figur
ing and they claim to have discovered evi
dence that the city Is not being fairly dealt
with and that the bills rendered the city
are exorbitant as compared with those which
are presented to private individuals They
have secured a list of the contrivances which
require a flow of water In some of the other
largo buildings of the city and cite these in
proof of their position.
The bill of $88.65 tor one month was for
supplying water for two cleva'ors , seven
teen washbowls , fifteen closets , four urinals
and four sinks In the city hall.
In the New York Life building there are
five elevators , sixty-eight washbowls , twenty-
two urinals , fifty-six closets and two bath
tuba , besides a multitude of sinks. For this
building the water bills run from $75 to $80
per month , or materially less than these for
the city hall.
The Hee building pays about the same as
the New York Life building and contains
thirty-five clo'ets. three elevators , 125 wash
bowls , twelve urlmls , furklsh bath rooms
and sK sinks. estimates of the amount ot
water used in other large buildings , as com
pared with the monthly bills show very
nearly the same results as In tha two largo
buildings mentioned.
The committee argue * that this Indicates
that the city is being charged at an exorbi
tant rate for the water used , as , according to
the estimates , the city hall uses only about
one-fifth as much water as Is consumed In
the two buildings adjoining , while the bills
run about $10 per month higher. The figures
quoted are from a member of the committee
who will submit them to the council when
the bills are brought up for consideration.
GARDENS BECOMING NUMEROUS
Many Women TtiUInc Up with the farming
Idea.
Applications for garden spots arc still pourIng -
Ing In on the agricultural commission and
the number of female gardeners has swelled
to considerable proportions. Many of these
have little spots of their own and only ask
to be given enough seed to plant them , after
some masculine neighbor has prepared the
gicund for the crop Seeds have been given
out In 236 such eases , all of which have been
Investigated and found deserving.
Considerable quantities of seed were
planted before the recent rains and this Is
already sprouting. The commission has a
gang of men plowing and harrowing the lots
In the vicinity of Tenth and Nicholas streets
and these will be ready for planting by the
first of next week.

We're early harvestersv second crop is here Perhaps
you're not familiar with the clothing term of 2nd crop ? Per
mit us to explain- crop include purchases , dictated by the
current market value of clothing. When financially hungry
merchants are obliged to stock up-then it is the wholesalers
harvest-got all you can is the maxim in order to average
the losses on what is loft.
2nd crop are purchases dictated by the amount of ready
cash and the largo quantities the merchant can use. Then it's
merchant's harvest and consumers triumph.
The bulk of our stock is of the latter purchases 2nd crop

JAMES J. CALLAHAN. Four Hundred Indians Preparing to Resist Arrest. Near Bottineau, N.D., May 3. Four hundred Indians are in camp three miles north of here, prepared to resist arrest. During the night, they descended on Trader Brooks' store and helped themselves to ammunition and fire arms.
WASHINGTON, May 3. Indian Agent Alfred Nail has sent a dispatch to the commissioner of Indian affairs in reference to the reported troubles at the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Indian reservation in North Dakota. Mr. Hall says: "Everything is quiet on the Turtle Mountain reservation now. A posse of United States marshals has arrived to make arrests, and I cannot tell what the outcome will be. The Indians as a whole have no interest in this trouble and are peaceably inclined. Little Shell and about twenty of his followers are the only ones who are interested, but I believe the balance will keep them quiet. I am trying to hold all the Indians on the reservation and keep them away from St. John, where the trouble is located."
The Indian bureau officials say that Little Shell has been at the bottom of all the difficulties that have arisen on the reservation. Another chief cause of trouble is said to be the presence of a large number of Canadian Indians, who cross the border only a few miles distant and help to cat up the government supplies, leaving the United States Indians short. The last congress appropriated $5,000 for the relief of these Indians, and this amount has been placed to the credit of the agent, who is expending it for their benefit.

COULD O.W.I. BE WITH A OVER"
Gambler Had Losing Heavily but Turned the Lack the Other Way.
EL PASO, Tex., May 3. The Gem gambling house was held up last night in a most sensational manner. One of the players was John Wesley Hardin of Pecos City. Hardin is well known throughout the west as a killer, and his appearance in the house last night attracted much attention. Luck was against him, and he was soon in several hundred dollars. Turning to the dealer, he remarked: "You seem so cute that I believe you may hand me the money I have paid you for chips," emphasizing the request with a cocked revolver, and Baker, the dealer, passed over the gold.
Hardin ranked with the most notorious outlaws in the southwest in the '70s. After serving a term of years in the penitentiary he was pardoned by Governor Hogg. During his confinement he studied law, and has built up a large practice in western Texas.
Actors Come to Illinois at the Chicago Opera House.
CHICAGO, May 5. Charles J. Ross and Charles Canfield, both of the "Passing Show" company, now playing at the Chicago opera house, indulged in a lively fight last night in the green room of the theater. Ross accused Canfield, the "wardrobe master," of not taking proper care of certain articles. The two came to blows, the fight becoming hot and furious. The delighted stage hands formed a ring around the combatants and urged them on. They fought all over the green room, only ceasing long enough to fall down stairs into Ross' dressing room, where the fight was renewed. When the men were separated, both were badly punished, Ross having a very dark eye. The manager of the show then did the referee act by discharging Ross from the company.

In the Twin Sifter, Trying to Collect the Ten Thousand Dollars.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 3. An interesting question has arisen as to the insurance on the life of Catherine Gign, for whose murder Harry Hayward is to hang. Her twin sister, Julia Gign of Auburn, N.Y., has been appointed administrator of her estate and an effort will be made to collect the $10,000 insurance. The policies were assigned to Hayward and he will be made a party to the suit. It is claimed that she took out the policies in good faith and that the ulterior motives of Hayward cut no figure in the liabilities of the companies, the New York Life and the Travelers Accident.
The companies are not likely to resist payment if the court sets aside the assignment of Hayward as fraudulent and without consideration.

So is a Name?
Sometimes more, sometimes less. There's Ozomulsion, for instance. What's Ozomulsion? That's a trade name for ozonized emulsion. What's that? That's an emulsion of pure cod liver oil, ozone, and guaiacol.
What's it for? You've got it; all run down, coughs, hacks, can't sleep, won't let anybody else sleep, losing flesh, losing spirit, getting blue, get discouraged about nothing. What does that amount to? More blues, more coughs, folks shake their heads, look wise, say "head shakes - Consumption, doctor comes, more wise, looks you, knows pills-bills. Take Ozomulsion in time. That will fool 'em, fool your friends, fool the doctor, fool you. One bottle costs a dollar. That'll make you feel better, you'll get hungry, you'll like good things to eat once more. If it don't, don't buy any more and get your dollar back. We have faith in Ozomulsion, you'll have after you've tried it fairly.
OZOMULSION

Any reputable drug store has it. If you are where you can't get it, there's the mail, write for it to T.A. Block Co., 1811 Central Street, New York City.
Thin, pale women become luminous and beautiful on Ozomulsion.
The dealers objected to paying the tax and paid under protest, saying that they intended to hold the city liable. The attorneys for the plaintiffs charge that the ordinance is oppressive and restrictive in its nature, in that it operates as a means of raising revenue, being not levied, as the law provides, it is a mere police regulation. The law, it is claimed, is inequitable and void, and injurious to the public welfare, and more particularly to the coal dealers, who allege that they carry on a business that should not be restricted or prohibited, a result which they charge to the operation of the ordinance.
Harmon in his petition recites that the coal dealers were bullied into paying the city because they were severally told that they would be arrested unless they complied with the terms of the ordinance. "Rather than go to Jail they paid, preferring to sue and get their money back later. H. McClelland is the only dealer who ever brought a suit individually. The school district is made a defendant because under the ordinance it claims the right to the fine or license money.
FROM AN "OPEN WINDOW.
Charles Platz fell from a second story window on the south side of the Anscombes block at Fourteenth and Leavenworth streets and sustained some severe bruises. He struck on his head and received a gash about an inch long, which extended to the bone. He was also hurt about the shoulders and back, the nature of the injuries being such as to cause some apprehension concerning his recovery. He was taken to the Methodist hospital.
When found by James Smith, he was lying on the sidewalk without coat, hat, or shoes. Platz told Smith that he had been slugged and that his missing articles had been carried off by the highwaymen. An examination of the room above disclosed the fact that the window was open and the blinds had been torn where Platz had evidently clutched them to save himself from falling. The occupants of the flat stated that Platz was in the habit of sitting in the window and sometimes falling asleep there. He was slightly intoxicated when he went to his room, and at 10 o'clock Thursday night he was noticed sitting in the window.
Looking Heard From.
Reports from the north end of the city to the sheriff's office indicate that W.E.D. Dinkle, the burglar who played insane long enough to effect his escape from the county hospital, has been prowling about the residence of J.F. Hoch, a milkman living at 4602 Ames avenue. Hoch had $6 in money, two suits of clothes, and a couple of hats stolen from his home Thursday morning. He said that Dinkle had worked for him and had a key to the house, also that he is sure that Dinkle was seen on the Florence road carrying the lost articles. Dr. Tilden and the Insanity board several months ago pronounced Dinkle sane. Judge Scott refused to accept this adjudication and placed him on trial for insanity. Ultimately, he was sent to the county hospital, from which he his escape, opportunity offering.
Another candidate for the Prince.
A new candidate for Dr. Duryea's chair in the Board of Education is announced in the person of Prof. Olllesple. It is urged that he would be a most valuable addition to the board and that his advice and cooperation would be of greater assistance than that of any man who might be chosen.

KICKING ON WATER BILLS.
Offices claim that the city is being overcharged by the Water Works company. Among the bills which are being held back by the finance committee of the city council for investigation is one in which the American Water Works company asks for $88.65 for water furnished for the city hall from March 18, to April 17, 1895. This is one of the results of the fight between the water works company and the city and it is not considered likely that it will be reported until the present controversy is decided.
In the ordinance under which the water company does business, certain uses are specified for which water must be furnished to the city free of charge. These were supposed to include all municipal purposes, but more recently it has been discovered that the library board, city hall, city jail, and engine houses were not included in the free water distribution. Nevertheless, no bills were ever sent in, and by a mutual understanding these were included in the non-paying establishments.
After the continued refusal of the city to pay the bills of the water company on the ground of inadequate service, this peculiarity in the ordinance was suddenly taken advantage of. The library board was notified on March 8, that unless its water bills were paid before 10 o'clock on that day the water would be shut off. The threat was not carried into effect. President Reed giving his personal assurance that the bills would be paid as soon as they could be audited. Just previous to this the water company presented a bill to the city comptroller for water rent for the city hall during the entire term of its occupancy, and this was referred to a committee, where it still remains. The additional bill for last month went to the same committee. Since then one or two members of the council have been doing a little figuring and they claim to have discovered evidence that the city is not being fairly dealt with and that the bills rendered to the city are exorbitant as compared with those which are presented to private individuals. They have secured a list of the contrivances which require a flow of water in some of the other large buildings of the city and cite these in proof of their position.
The bill of $88.65 for one month was for supplying water for two cisterns, seventeen washbowls, fifteen closets, four urinals, and four sinks in the city hall.
In the New York Life building there are five elevators, sixty-eight washbowls, twenty-two urinals, fifty-six closets, and two bath tubs, besides a multitude of sinks. For this building, the water bills run from $75 to $80 per month, or materially less than these for the city hall.
The Bee building pays about the same as the New York Life building and contains thirty-five closets, three elevators, 125 washbowls, twelve urinals, forty-six bath rooms, and sixty sinks. Estimates of the amount of water used in other large buildings, as compared with the monthly bills, show very nearly the same results as in the two large buildings mentioned.
The committee argues that this indicates that the city is being charged at an exorbitant rate for the water used, as, according to the estimates, the city hall uses only about one-fifth as much water as is consumed in the two buildings adjoining, while the bills run about $10 per month higher. The figures quoted are from a member of the committee who will submit them to the council when the bills are brought up for consideration.
GARDENS BECOMING NUMEROUS
Many Women Taking Up with the farming Idea.
Applications for garden spots are still pouring in on the agricultural commission and the number of female gardeners has swelled to considerable proportions. Many of these have little spots of their own and only ask to be given enough seed to plant them, after some masculine neighbor has prepared the ground for the crop. Seeds have been given out in 236 such cases, all of which have been investigated and found deserving.
Considerable quantities of seed were planted before the recent rains and this is already sprouting. The commission has a gang of men plowing and harrowing the lots in the vicinity of Tenth and Nicholas streets and these will be ready for planting by the first of next week.

Profitable Crops.
Rain more plentiful now in Nebraska. The earth of our commonwealth thus far responds nobly to the prayers of the good citizens. Prosperous crops in sight, and the income tax has come to stay.
We're early harvesters; second crop is here. Perhaps you're not familiar with the clothing term of 2nd crop? Permit us to explain - crop includes purchases, dictated by the current market value of clothing. When financially hungry merchants are obliged to stock up - then it is the wholesalers' harvest - get all you can is the maxim in order to average the losses on what is left.
2nd crop are purchases dictated by the amount of ready cash and the large quantities the merchant can use. Then it's merchant's harvest and consumers' triumph.
The bulk of our stock is of the latter purchases - 2nd crop.
This explains why we sell a wool suit for Four-Fifty, that 1st crop dealers couldn't sell short of at least $7.00 or a suit at Five-fifty other clothiers can't sell at less than $8 to $10 dollars.
That other clothiers here can use as large quantities as we is rank nonsense - We refer to the freight department for proof.

WILD TIME WITH A "GHOST"
An Infatuated Hoportor Gives the Shade a
Eegular Bear Tquseze.
PROVED TO BE A IUIKY HOOSIER LASS
lutcreatlnc Uctulli of a Unlit on tlio Clu-
clunntl Foundry ot a Spurious Mo-
ilium V Thrilling Cutcli-ns-
Cutcli-Cuu In the Ui.rU.
J < For several months past an enterprising
plrltuallstlo medium and his wife did a
thriving business In Cincinnati. Dy exercising
cisinga combination of shrewdness and
nerve ghosts were made to appear and con
verse with those v\ho paid the admission
fee and showed no trace of doubts as to the
genuineness ot the performance. The scene
ot the stances was the home of L. Marks
on IV.nn street , and with the assistance of
Mrs. Marks and a buxom Hoosler lass ot 22
p they managed to lure the festive dollar from
* the pockets of the credulous.
Among the enthusiastic pupils In Marks'
School ot Spookery was a reporter of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. He proved
to be an uncommonly receptive pupil. The
appearance of a ghost claiming to be hie
mother , who at the time was at home and
In good health , did not shako his faith In
the presence of Marks. He Ingratiated him-
eolt In the medium's favor and discovered
jnang things which convinced him that ar
elegant exclusive of spurious spooks was en
tirely practicable. To that end he labored
nnd exposure followed on Thursday last.
° The war party consisted of Mr. J. C ,
" \Vllms. the well known spiritualist exposcr
Air. Charles Mergard , a pupil ot his , whc
i had coma experience * la exposing othei
frauds ; Mr. A. Kaplun , a merchant tailor
also a pupil of Mr. Wllms ; Dr. Richard del
end the follow Ing representatives of th (
Commercial Gazette : Ed Grlllo. Will Phis
tcr. Will Izor nnd Will L Pinch Smal
torchlights , which had been prodded b )
Mr. Wllms , were furnished to Messrs Izor
* , Mergard and Kaplun , with Instructions ti
flight them at a given signal. The light !
'XT were Ingeniously arranged so that they couli
bet luepeded from the armhole of the vcs
until needed for action ,
To make sure ot successfully lighting then
At the first trial , each ot the three men wer <
furnished with three bundles of matchci
which had been bound together with llm
' ' wire , this preventing their breaking. Dr
niche had provided himself with a loni
dim phial , which he partially filled will
alcohol , running a wide up through the ttop
per. Dr. Blche'i part was to light this alco
iiol lamp at the same signal and Immedl
Itely light the gas Jet overhead. Mr. Uo
* was Instructed to unlock the street dee :
if liter Imvlng lighted Ma lamp ; give two slg
call on a police whistle , noticing a numbe ;
> assistants , who were watting on the out
ilJe , that the fun wai on. The pleasure o
Krosplng the ghost , It was urged , would fal
i lther to Mr. Grlllo , Mr. Phlster or Mr
Finch , with chances In favor of the latter
[ or the reason that It was his fourth visit
and he was considered a very soft mark fo
ie fraudulent mediums.
The party vas warmly greeted by Markj
nnd shortly after the seance business began
Mr. Mirks placed tbo lighted candle In th
dark box over the door , while Mrs. Mark
conducted the gentlemen present Into th
rear room , to ste that no spirits were li
tiding there Alter a satisfactory Investlga
( Ion , and making cure that tbe ball leadim
cut of the back room bad b en locked , th
" ) centlcraeii returned to the front room an
ncattd oysrdlDj ; tp th * direction c
Mrs. Marks , the gentlemen and ladles being
Interspersed.
The gas lights were extinguished , and It
was dark as Cgypt in the room. Mr. Marks
requested that all Join In repeating the
Lord's prayer , which was done heartily , Mr
Izor , In the meantime , taking advantage of
the occasion to unlock the street door This
was followed by a short prayer by Mr
Marks , In an unknown language , but which
was supposed to be an Hebraic appeal to his
Hebrew control , Dr. Llllenthal. Mr Marks ,
as will be explained subsequently , sat at the
right of the cabinet , and turned the crank of
un organette , and the strain of "Nearer , My
God , to Thee" floated out on the black air
Dr. Llllenthal , through Dr Marks , stated
that the conditions seemed good , and that
10 would do all he could to give those pres
ent good results. The next spirit appeared
very soon after , and was Mr Marks' other
control , Jeannette , his ilrst wife , a handsome
looking wonu.n , . with floating raven hair and
i generally ctherlal appearance. She said
nothing and the light disappeared and more
music followed.
The first person called to the cabinet was
Mrs. Assman. She appeared perfectly satis
fied with the demonstration , and claimed to
recognize In the form which appeared In
the cabinet her daughter , Minnie. Mrs. Ass-
man was * o delighted that she called Mrs.
nilison up , and Minnie was recognized , much
to Mrs. Ellison's delight.
Tollowlng these persons In rapid succes
sion , Mr. Mergard , Mr Kaplun and the gen
tleman and his wife were all called to the
cabinet , When Mr Mergard went up the
Commercial Gazette party was on the qul
vlve , for , as has been stated , It was under
stood that the first mor.ber called to the
cabinet was to seize the spirit , If permitted
to get within seizing distance The signal
agreed upon in case a seizure was attempted
were the words "Oh , my , " uttered in a
surprised tone. Mr. Mergard and Mr Kap
lun both disappointed the. party , Mrs. Marks
apparently not having sufficient confidence
In tlinn to permit their getting near the
figure.
Mr Finch was more fortunate. It was
his fourth visit to the seances and he had ap
peared on each occasion very deeply Im
pressed. He had been treated each time
to a visit from the materialized spirit of hit
dead mother , though , as.a matter ot fact ,
ho had no dead mother
When Mrs. Marks called , "Mr Wilton ,
hero Is jour mother. " Mr. Pinch responded
with alacrity , and the bo > s who had been
provided with lights Immediately began tc
get ready , for the confidence which the
Marks had shown In Mr. Wilson , aa they
called him , was well known to the entire
party. Mr Pinch , on approaching the cabi
net , found the same form that he had seer
the three evenings previous , and which con
tinually whispered the word "Mother" ant
gave asurances of love and affection ant
careful guardianship.
Mr. Klnch asked her If she would place liei
hand on his head and bless him , n :
she had on a previous occasion. Shi
whispered the answer , "Yes , " and suited
the action to the words. That was al
that was wanted. Mr , Pinch exclaimed
"Oti , my , " as per agreement , at the sami
moment lunging forward and throwing hi :
arms about tlio middle of the form. It wai
a trifle risky Owing to the dim light and Iti
very uncertain character. It was absolute ! )
Impossible for any ono who stood at the en
trance to the cabinet to tell whether thi
form before him was man , woman or demon
It wag equally uncertain what would follov
or how many spirits there might be In thi
back room to assist In liberating the spirt
which Mr. Pinch hoped to hold In bis em
brace when he made the lunge.
A wild scene followed. The Instant thi
signal was given those who had torches li
readiness Immediately lighted them , Tbi
door wa at once opened by Mr , Izor , whi
had also lighted a torch , and the signal wai
given to those waiting on the outside , Th
women present screamed and rushed frantl
cally about the room. Tablet and chain wer
turned tojpev.turyy kj tfct jen ffoea mem
bers of the party rushing- the cabinet to
aid Mr Finch , who was struggling desper
ately with the lovely spirit.
A lady who sat near the door exclaimed
"My God , " and rushed down the steps to
the street. She was closely followed by tev-
eral other women , but they wcrs all detained
by the officers and brought back Into the
room. Uy this time the members of the ex
posing party had the gas jets lighted and
everything their own way The curtains
were torn from their fastenings on the large
double doors , which served as the sides of
the cabinet , and a clear pas'age was afforded
bstw en the two rooms. The scene which
was presented In the center of the double
doors was extremely laughable , even In the
excitement.
Mr Klnch and the fair spook were rolling
on the floor , tightly clasped In each other's
embrace. Mr. Phlstcr , who had followed
Mr. Klnch to tlio cabinet , attended to Mr.
Marks. As Mr. TlncH seized the spirit Mr.
Marks madea dive for the cabinet. Mr
I'hlster Intercepted hlii , and , seizing him by
the lapels of his coat , forced him Into the
corner of the room and sat him down on
the hand organ , ruining that source cf
agony , and preventing him doing any damage
ageto any one.
Mrs Marks was pushed aside for a mo
ment by Mr. Phlster , but bhe , with the courage -
ago ol a tigress , regained her equilibrium
and rusliul to the assistance ot her accom
plice. She seized the girl with one hand and
Mr Finch by the hair with the other , light
ing desperately to separate them , and free
the slrl. Mr , Izor , Mr. Grlllo and Mr. Mur
ray came to the rescue , and prevented her
from snatching Finch literally bald-headed
Mrs Marks was at last token from the tan
gled mass ot humanity on the floor. In an
almost hysterical condition , and placed In
the custody of an officer , who forced her to
take a seat
Then Mr Finch and his spirit were lifted
from the floor , presenting a most peculiar
spectacle. Mr. Finch's clothing was consid
erably mussed , and what few garments had
clothed the spirit were almost torn from her
person.
Mr and Mrs. Marks and the spurious ghost
were placed under arrest and taken to jail
The lady who Impersonated the sevjral
spirits was Miss O.ssle Danforth. aged 22
years. Miss Danforth Is a rather prepos
sessing woman , a little under medium height ,
with an abundant growth of dark hair and
sparkling eyes She Is a comparative novice
In the business , having been In the employ
of Mr. and Mrs. Marks about four months
Immediately after the exposure , and after
Miss Danforth had been given an opportunity
ot attiring herself , the frail whlto robe she
wore having been pulled from her person
during the encounter with the exposers , she
made the folllowlng statement1
"While I am chagrined and embarrassed
at the notoriety I will gain , I am glad this
business has been broken up and I released
from the virtual Imprisonment I have been
with the Marks family about four months ,
during which time we have given alleged
spiritual manifestations on an average of
three times a week. For the part I took
ID the disgraceful business I have been re
ceiving a compensation ot (6 a week I was
driven Into the business by absolut necessity ,
1 having been unable to secure other employ
ment. I have , however , made a numbr
of attempts to leave , but on each occasion
I was unatle to obtain my clothes and was
prevailed upon to continue a while longer
I am now relieved and when free Mill at
ones go to my home In Indianapolis , where
my parents reside.
"The whole thing Is a fraud , as has been
demonstrated. I am not a bsllever In spir
itualism , nor are Mr. and Mrs. Marks. "

Office Deputy Coggeshall of ! the United
States marshal's office received word yesterday
afternoon from the United State ; ? marshal for
the district of Chicago that C. Arthur Crane ,
president ; L C. Halnes , secretary , and Prank
Eastwood , director , ot the so-called Mutual
Reserve Tontine Savings society of Omaha
had just been arrested and would be started
for Omaha this evening- custody of deputy
.marshals.
Crane , Halnes and Eastwood were Indicted
by the federal grand Jury In this city last
November for using the United.States mails
for Illegal purposes. Getting wind ot the
probable action of the grand jury , the three
men closed their Omaha otllce between two
da > s and made for Chicago , where soon after
they opened an olllce at Seventninth and
Dearborn streets , and continued their busi
ness.
ness.The men came to Omaha early In 1891 and
opened an office at room 414 in the Karbach
block. On February S ot that- year they
filed articles of Incorporation , with the sec
retary of state for the Mutual.Reserve Ton-
tin : Savings society. The nanje was only a
convenient cloak for one of the numerous
bond Investment companies which' , were oper
ating all over the west at about , that time
The company pretended to Issue a debenture
bond to the shareholders. Kaqh.bund could
be purchased for a cash payment of } 3 and
an "attorney fee" of $5. The holder was
required to pay J3 per month fpr 150 months
and after that his payments seated and he
was entitled to draw $1,000 for his share , as
soon as all ot the shares- previous ! ) sold had
been redeemed by the company.j
The company Hooded the mails with cir
culars anl advertising matter ami by dint
of perslstant effort succeeded in , celling about
fifty or sixty "debenture bonds" to that
many gullible people In this vicinity The
scheme was as gauzy as any tvcr put up.
Accompanying the printed circulars was a
tabulated ftatercnt pretending ( to show the
value of each share In eactij 'of the IDC
months which It had to run before It could
be redeemed For Instance , at tli'e beginning
of the first month a share wai represented
to have a "redemption value" of $16 02 ,
although It had cost the holder but $8. Al
the end of twelve months the share that hail
cost the holder $41 was represented to have
a "redemption value" of $82,94. In othei
words , the company gulled the unsuspecting
Into the belief that In twelve .months an
Investment of $41 would pay a dividend al
the rate of 100 per cent.
The federal authorities have been aware ol
the location of thr e very smooth people In
Chicago for some months , but they were al
lowed to remain at liberty until needed foi
trial Last month Deputy United States Dis
trict Attorney Rush went to Chicago , taking
with him a copy of the Indictment , which he
placed In the hands of the federal authorities ,
The men wer ? arreited yesterday end will b (

JEFFERSON CITY , Mo. , May 3. About
seventy members of the Missouri legislature
adopted resolutions last night under which
the democratic state central committee will
bo asked to call a free silver convention not
later than August 1. The meeting was a
result of a call for a caucus Issued Tuesday
and was addressed by Governor Stone , Sam
Cook , chairman of the executive committee of
the state central committee , and some others.
Members ot the press were not admitted and
the result of the caucus was not given out
till late last night. Messrs. Stone and Cook
each favored the Immediate calling of a con
vention. Considerable dlfcusslon of a more
or less heated nature ensued. The follow
ing resolutions were presented and finally
adopted by a vote of CG to 2 :
"Whereas , The vital question before the
people of this country today is the money
question and In our opinion the next presi
dential campaign will bo contested largely
upon this Issue , and
"Whereas , The democratic party from Its
organization has always been a party ot
bimetallism , declaring that tbo redemption
money at the country and the basis of all
currency and paper credits should be both
gold and silver , and that such metals should
be coined at the ratio of 1G to 1 , and
"Whereas , Since Its declaration of such
principles at the democratic state convention
In May , 1S94 , the agitation upon this subject
throughout the land has become constant and
widespread , now therefore be it
"Resolved , That In order that tie democ
racy ot Missouri may define Its views upon
the money question before the people of the
state and nation , the democratic state com
mittee Is hereby requested to call a Elate
convention to meet at some central and ac-
cofslble place for the purpose of such defini
tion and declaration "
It was a silver conference from first to last ,
Of the nineteen democratic senators SY at
tended , and there were twenty-nine of the
fifty-eight democrats In the house present ,
Governor Stone made a bpeech In which he
asserted that If he was chairman of the state
central committee he would call a state con
vention today ,

ALBANY , May 5. The court of appeals
today decided against the soldiers and sailors
home of St. Louis In their null against Rus ell
Sage and the sons of Jay Gould The appeal
was from an order of the general term affirm
ing an order of the special term directing
that the Union Pacific railroad and the re
ceivers thereof be made party defendants In
the action brought by the soldiers home
of St. Louis on behalf 'of the holders of
Kansas Pacific consolidated bonds , against
Russell Sage and George J Gould , Individu
ally , and Edwin Gould , George J. Gould ,
Howard Gould and Ilenlen Gould , ai executors
of the last will of Jay Gould.
To compel the defendants to account for
the proceeds of 29.9SG shares of the capital
stock of the Denver Pacific Railroad and
Telegraph company , of the alleged value
with Interest and profits of $11,000,000 , said
to have been wrongfully withdrawn from
the trust created by the mortgage executed
by the Kansas Pacific Railway company to
Jay Gould and Russell Sage and George J
Gould from the trusteeship ; to enjoin the
defendants from Interfering with any trust
property covered by the mortgage for the
appointment of a receiver of such property
i and for such other relief as the court may
deem best.
The action was begun In October , 1894. At
a special term held In January the receivers
of the Union Pacific were made parties defendant -
fendant to the action on motion ot W. S
Pierce , attorney for the defendants This
was affirmed by the general term and the
appeal from the order was before the court

Ti'lcgraiu Sent Asking Senator
Thuralou' * Assistance.
Now that the anticipated changes have bees
made In the several departmental coin
manders ot the army , a concerted effort will
undoubtedly eniuo to secure a larger Juris
diction for the Department of the 1'latte.
E\er since the territory ot the Platte wai
curtailed army olficers , as well as civilians ,
have felt that the Importance ot tbo de
partment was bomewhat abridged and then
have been many conferences with army offi
cers , as well as with the secretary of war ,
looking to the addition of Utah and Colorado
to the department , territory which was form
erly Included In the department.
Ex-Senator Manderson had this matter up
with Secretary of War Lament , nnd in
a conversation with Laniont , said Mr , Man
derson to a IJeo reporter , "the secretary con
ceded that the Importance of the Department
of the Platte warranted a larger territory
than Is now Included In said department.
The secretary , however , was averse to mak
ing any changes In the boundary lines until
after the transfer of commanders had been
made. This has now been done , and I
think some concerted action should be taken
to secure to the Department of the Platte
the addition of Colorado and Utah. I had
this matter up with Dr. Miller and we
have agreed to unite In a Joint
telegram to Secretary Lamont. asking
that Utah and Colorado be added to the De
partment of the Platte , which now tnclulcs
the states ot Iowa , Nebraska and Wyoming
( excepting the post of Fort Yellowstone In
Yellowstone National park , Wyo ) so much
of the state of Idaho as lies cast of a Una
forrrcd by the extension of the western
boundary of Utah to the northeastern
boundary of Idaho and all that portion of
the state of South Dakota lying south of
Iho Forty-fourth parallel ot north latitude ;
also the post ot Fort Meade , South Dakota ,
for payment only"
A telegram was sent to Senator Thurston
yesterday atklng for his kind pfllcea In
the matter of securing the addition ot Colorado
rado and Utah , should any channel b made
In the boundary lines of the departments as
now Indicated.
Mr Manderson remarked that the De
partment of the Platte was ono of the mott
Important In the country , Including as It
did , several of the great Indian reservations
and that It should be Increased by the addi
tion of the territory mentioned because the
territory Indicated was directly contiguous
and for many yeara was Included In the
department.
"It Is a well known fact that Fort Meade
should be Included In the present boundary
liner , aa It Is very much cheaper to liandla
goods from Omaha to Fort Mendo than froii
St. Paul. Fort Douglas , alto , regretted
being removed from the pr i nt
department , a well as tbe cm-
era In command of the depart
ment , but superior officers thought thxj
change would be beneficial and accordingly
it vru placed la anotb r department , " | TWELVE PAGES, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE.

WILD TIME WITH A "GHOST"
An Infatuated Reporter Gives the Shade a Regular Bear Hug.
PROVED TO BE A LUCKY HOOSIER LASS
Intercalating Extract of a Night on the Clifton Foundry of a Spurious Medium. Thrilling Clifton-Cut In the Dark.
For several months past an enterprising spiritualist couple and his wife did a thriving business in Cincinnati. By exercising a combination of shrewdness and nerve ghosts were made to appear and converse with those who paid the admission fee and showed no trace of doubts as to the genuineness of the performance. The scene of the stances was the home of L. Marks on Perry Street, and with the assistance of Mrs. Marks and a buxom Hoosier lass of 22, they managed to lure the festive dollar from the pockets of the credulous.
Among the enthusiastic pupils in Marks' School of Spookery was a reporter of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. He proved to be an uncommonly receptive pupil. The appearance of a ghost claiming to be his mother, who at the time was at home and in good health, did not shake his faith in the presence of Marks. He ingratiated himself in the medium's favor and discovered many things which convinced him that an elegant exclusive of spurious spooks was entirely practicable. To that end he labored and exposure followed on Thursday last.
The war party consisted of Mr. J. C, Williams, the well-known spiritualist exposer, Mr. Charles Mergard, a pupil of his, who had come experience in exposing other frauds; Mr. A. Kaplan, a merchant tailor also a pupil of Mr. Williams; Dr. Richard, and the following representatives of the Commercial Gazette: Ed Grillo, Will Phister, Will Izor, and Will L. Pinch. Small torchlights, which had been prodded by Mr. Williams, were furnished to Messrs. Izor, Mergard, and Kaplan, with instructions to light them at a given signal. The lights were ingeniously arranged so that they could be leaked from the armhole of the vest until needed for action.
To make sure of successfully lighting them, at the first trial, each of the three men were furnished with three bundles of matches which had been bound together with wire, this preventing their breaking. Dr. Pinch had provided himself with a long dip phial, which he partially filled with alcohol, running a wide up through the stopper. Dr. Pinch's part was to light this alcohol lamp at the same signal and immediately light the gas jet overhead. Mr. Do was instructed to unlock the street door if it having lighted his lamp; give two signals on a police whistle, noticing a number of assistants, who were waiting on the outside, that the fun was on. The pleasure of exposing the ghost, it was urged, would fall upon Mr. Grillo, Mr. Phister, or Mr. Finch, with chances in favor of the latter for the reason that it was his fourth visit and he was considered a very soft mark for the fraudulent mediums.
The party was warmly greeted by Marks and shortly after the seance business began Mr. Marks placed the lighted candle in the dark box over the door, while Mrs. Marks conducted the gentlemen present into the rear room, to see that no spirits were lying there. After a satisfactory investigation, and making sure that the back leading out of the back room had been locked, the gentlemen returned to the front room and announced their readiness to the direction of Mrs. Marks, the gentlemen and ladies being interspersed.
The gas lights were extinguished, and it was dark as Egypt in the room. Mr. Marks requested that all join in repeating the Lord's prayer, which was done heartily, Mr. Izor, in the meantime, taking advantage of the occasion to unlock the street door. This was followed by a short prayer by Mr. Marks, in an unknown language, but which was supposed to be an Hebraic appeal to his Hebrew control, Dr. Lillenthal. Mr. Marks, as will be explained subsequently, sat at the right of the cabinet, and turned the crank of an organette, and the strain of "Nearer, My God, to Thee" floated out on the black air. Dr. Lillenthal, through Dr. Marks, stated that the conditions seemed good, and that he would do all he could to give those present good results. The next spirit appeared very soon after, and was Mr. Marks' other control, Jeannette, his first wife, a handsome-looking woman, with floating raven hair and a generally ethereal appearance. She said nothing and the light disappeared and more music followed.
The first person called to the cabinet was Mrs. Assman. She appeared perfectly satisfied with the demonstration, and claimed to recognize in the form which appeared in the cabinet her daughter, Minnie. Mrs. Assman was so delighted that she called Mrs. Ellison up, and Minnie was recognized, much to Mrs. Ellison's delight.
Following these persons in rapid succession, Mr. Mergard, Mr. Kaplan, and the gentleman and his wife were all called to the cabinet. When Mr. Mergard went up the Commercial Gazette party was on the quiver, for, as has been stated, it was understood that the first mother called to the cabinet was to seize the spirit, if permitted to get within seizing distance. The signal agreed upon in case a seizure was attempted were the words "Oh, my," uttered in a surprised tone. Mr. Mergard and Mr. Kaplan both disappointed the party, Mrs. Marks apparently not having sufficient confidence in them to permit their getting near the figure.
Mr. Finch was more fortunate. It was his fourth visit to the seances and he had appeared on each occasion very deeply impressed. He had been treated each time to a visit from the materialized spirit of his dead mother, though, as a matter of fact, he had no dead mother.
When Mrs. Marks called, "Mr. Wilton, here is your mother." Mr. Pinch responded with alacrity, and the boys who had been provided with lights immediately began to get ready, for the confidence which the Marks had shown in Mr. Wilson, as they called him, was well known to the entire party. Mr. Pinch, on approaching the cabinet, found the same form that he had seen the three evenings previous, and which constantly whispered the word "Mother" and gave assurances of love and affection and careful guardianship.
Mr. Finch asked her if she would place her hand on his head and bless him, as she had on a previous occasion. She whispered the answer, "Yes," and suited the action to the words. That was all that was wanted. Mr. Finch exclaimed "Oh, my," as per agreement, at the same moment lunging forward and throwing his arms about the middle of the form. It was a trifle risky. Owing to the dim light and the very uncertain character, it was absolutely impossible for anyone who stood at the entrance to the cabinet to tell whether the form before him was man, woman or demon. It was equally uncertain what would follow or how many spirits there might be in the back room to assist in liberating the spirit which Mr. Finch hoped to hold in his embrace when he made the lunge.
A wild scene followed. The instant the signal was given, those who had torches were in readiness immediately lighted them, and the door was at once opened by Mr. Izor, who had also lighted a torch, and the signal was given to those waiting on the outside. The women present screamed and rushed frantically about the room. The table and chain were turned upside down in the midst of members of the party rushing the cabinet to aid Mr. Finch, who was struggling desperately with the lovely spirit.
A lady who sat near the door exclaimed "My God," and rushed down the steps to the street. She was closely followed by several other women, but they were all detained by the officers and brought back into the room. By this time the members of the exposing party had the gas jets lighted and everything their own way. The curtains were torn from their fastenings on the large double doors, which served as the sides of the cabinet, and a clear passage was afforded between the two rooms. The scene which was presented in the center of the double doors was extremely laughable, even in the excitement.
Mr. Finch and the fair spook were rolling on the floor, tightly clasped in each other's embrace. Mr. Phister, who had followed Mr. Finch to the cabinet, attended to Mr. Marks. As Mr. Finch seized the spirit, Mr. Marks made a dive for the cabinet. Mr. Phister intercepted him, and, seizing him by the lapels of his coat, forced him into the corner of the room and sat him down on the hand organ, ruining that source of agony, and preventing him from doing any damage to anyone.
Mrs. Marks was pushed aside for a moment by Mr. Phister, but she, with the courage of a tigress, regained her equilibrium and rushed to the assistance of her accomplice. She seized the girl with one hand and Mr. Finch by the hair with the other, fighting desperately to separate them, and free the spirit. Mr. Izor, Mr. Grillo, and Mr. Murray came to the rescue, and prevented her from snatching Finch literally bald-headed. Mrs. Marks was at last torn from the tangled mass of humanity on the floor. In an almost hysterical condition, and placed in the custody of an officer, who forced her to take a seat.
Then Mr. Finch and his spirit were lifted from the floor, presenting a most peculiar spectacle. Mr. Finch's clothing was considerably mussed, and what few garments had clothed the spirit were almost torn from her person.
Mr. and Mrs. Marks and the spurious ghost were placed under arrest and taken to jail. The lady who impersonated the several spirits was Miss Ossie Danforth, aged 22 years. Miss Danforth is a rather prepossessing woman, a little under medium height, with an abundant growth of dark hair and sparkling eyes. She is a comparative novice in the business, having been in the employ of Mr. and Mrs. Marks about four months. Immediately after the exposure, and after Miss Danforth had been given an opportunity of attiring herself, the frail white robe she wore having been pulled from her person during the encounter with the exposers, she made the following statement:
"While I am chagrined and embarrassed at the notoriety I will gain, I am glad this business has been broken up and I released from the virtual imprisonment I have been with the Marks family about four months, during which time we have given alleged spiritual manifestations on an average of three times a week. For the part I took in the disgraceful business, I have been receiving a compensation of $6 a week. I was driven into the business by absolute necessity, having been unable to secure other employment. I have, however, made a number of attempts to leave, but on each occasion I was unable to obtain my clothes and was prevailed upon to continue a while longer. I am now relieved and when free I will at once go to my home in Indianapolis, where my parents reside.
"The whole thing is a fraud, as has been demonstrated. I am not a believer in spiritualism, nor are Mr. and Mrs. Marks."
The federal authorities have been aware of the location of the very smooth people in Chicago for some months, but they were allowed to remain at liberty until needed for trial. Last month, Deputy United States District Attorney Rush went to Chicago, taking with him a copy of the indictment, which he placed in the hands of the federal authorities. The men were arrested yesterday and will be placed on trial as soon as the federal court meets, which will be within a few days.
Troup mobilization to be ready to move tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, May 3, General Schofield has not apprehended any serious trouble among the Indians at Turtle Mountain, N.D., but as a matter of precaution, he has ordered the troops at Port Doran, the nearest military post, to be in readiness to proceed to Turtle Mountain at the first sign of danger to the residents.
FREE SILVER CONVENTION CALLLED.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 3. About seventy members of the Missouri legislature adopted resolutions last night under which the democratic state central committee will be asked to call a free silver convention no later than August 1. The meeting was a result of a call for a caucus issued Tuesday and was addressed by Governor Stone, Sam Cook, chairman of the executive committee of the state central committee, and some others. Members of the press were not admitted and the result of the caucus was not given out until late last night. Messrs. Stone and Cook each favored the immediate calling of a convention. Considerable discussion of a more or less heated nature ensued. The following resolutions were presented and finally adopted by a vote of 66 to 2:
"Whereas, The vital question before the people of this country today is the money question and in our opinion the next presidential campaign will be contested largely upon this issue, and
"Whereas, The democratic party from its organization has always been a party of bimetallism, declaring that the redemption money at the country and the basis of all currency and paper credits should be both gold and silver, and that such metals should be coined at the ratio of 16 to 1, and
"Whereas, Since its declaration of such principles at the democratic state convention in May, 1894, the agitation upon this subject throughout the land has become constant and widespread, now therefore be it
"Resolved, That in order that the democracy of Missouri may define its views upon the money question before the people of the state and nation, the democratic state committee is hereby requested to call a state convention to meet at some central and accessible place for the purpose of such definition and declaration "
It was a silver conference from first to last, of the nineteen democratic senators who attended, and there were twenty-nine of the fifty-eight democrats in the house present, Governor Stone made a speech in which he asserted that if he were chairman of the state central committee he would call a state convention today.
WILLIAM T. HILL TRIAL TO SUICIDE.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 3, C.T. Hills, one of the most important witnesses for the state in connecting W.H. Durrant with the murder of Minnie Williams, tried to end his life by suicide yesterday. Hills had been out of employment for some time and was despondent because he lost a situation by being compelled to attend the trial as a witness. He brooded over his misfortune and yesterday morning sought to end all troubles by death. While he was shaving, the mood seized him and he cut a number of gashes in his arm, trying to sever an artery and bleed to death, but his act was noticed by his wife and she stopped him before a fatal wound had been made.
Strike at Slogu Iron Mill for Amalgamated price of $3 per ton.
PITTSBURGH, May 3. The puddlers at the Slogu Iron Mill are on a strike for the amalgamated price of $3 per ton. Since February the men have been working for $2.50 per ton, with the promise that on May 1 the rate would be advanced. On that date the rate was put up to $3.50, but the men at the Clinton mill, adjoining, were advanced to $4, and the Slogu puddlers demanded the same price. This was refused and about 150 men are out on a strike.
DECISION IN FAVOR OF RUSSELL SAGE AND GEORGE J. GOULD.
ALBANY, May 5. The court of appeals today decided against the soldiers and sailors home of St. Louis in their suit against Russell Sage and the sons of Jay Gould. The appeal was from an order of the general term affirming an order of the special term directing that the Union Pacific railroad and the receivers thereof be made party defendants in the action brought by the soldiers home of St. Louis on behalf of the holders of Kansas Pacific consolidated bonds, against Russell Sage and George J Gould, individually, and Edwin Gould, George J Gould, Howard Gould, and Helen Gould, as executors of the last will of Jay Gould.
To compel the defendants to account for the proceeds of 29,986 shares of the capital stock of the Denver Pacific Railroad and Telegraph company, of the alleged value with interest and profits of $11,000,000, said to have been wrongfully withdrawn from the trust created by the mortgage executed by the Kansas Pacific Railway company to Jay Gould and Russell Sage and George J Gould from the trusteeship; to enjoin the defendants from interfering with any trust property covered by the mortgage for the appointment of a receiver of such property and for such other relief as the court may deem best.
The action was begun in October, 1894. At a special term held in January the receivers of the Union Pacific were made parties defendant to the action on motion of W.S. Pierce, attorney for the defendants. This was affirmed by the general term and the appeal from the order was before the court of appeals. The court affirms the lower court's opinion with costs.
TO DROP THE MATTER UP.
Relatives of Mrs. Gordon's family are authority for the statement that so far as they are concerned, nothing will be done toward pushing the prosecution against Pulton Gordon. They are anxious to have the whole unfortunate affair hushed up, and will allow the matter to be dropped. A special from Henderson says Governor Brown's brother-in-law stated that the governor would do nothing toward prosecuting Gordon, but would simply let matters take their course. It is thought Gordon's plea will be self-defense as to the killing of Brown, and that he will testify that Brown fired the first shot. His defense for killing his wife will in all probability be temporary insanity.
KANSAS RETIRES SHORT.
ST. JOSEPH, May 3. There is an alleged shortage of about $25,000 in the office of the county treasurer in Doughpan county, Kansas, but so far no arrests have been made. When the present treasurer took charge last October he discovered something wrong. His predecessor, Michael Bauer, was told the shortage existed and was urged to settle. Bauer has been ill ever since. The county commissioners have ordered him to make good the missing funds.
DEATH BY HIS OWN HAND.
The coroner's jury in the case of William H. Megquier found that he came to his death by a pistol shot wound, inflicted by his own hand, during a temporary fit of aberration of mind. The remains were sent to Doniphan, Mo., this afternoon at 3:65 o'clock where interment will take place.
TO INCREASE ITS TERRITORY
Effort to Enlarge the Field of the Department of the Platt.
ADDITION OF COLORADO & UTAH SOUGHT!
General Managers and Dr. Miller Appeal to Senator Thurall's Assistance.
Now that the anticipated changes have been made in the several department commanders of the army, a concerted effort will undoubtedly ensue to secure a larger jurisdiction for the Department of the Platte. Ever since the territory of the Platte was curtailed, army officers, as well as civilians, have felt that the importance of the department was somewhat abridged and there have been many conferences with army officers, as well as with the secretary of war, looking to the addition of Utah and Colorado to the department, territory which was formerly included in the department.
Ex-Senator Manderson had this matter up with Secretary of War Lamont, and in a conversation with Lamont, said Mr. Manderson to a Bee reporter, "the secretary conceded that the importance of the Department of the Platte warranted a larger territory than is now included in said department. The secretary, however, was averse to making any changes in the boundary lines until after the transfer of commanders had been made. This has now been done, and I think some concerted action should be taken to secure to the Department of the Platte the addition of Colorado and Utah. I had this matter up with Dr. Miller and we have agreed to unite in a joint telegram to Secretary Lamont, asking that Utah and Colorado be added to the Department of the Platte, which now includes the states of Iowa, Nebraska, and Wyoming (excepting the post of Fort Yellowstone in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo) so much of the state of Idaho as lies east of a line formed by the extension of the western boundary of Utah to the northeastern boundary of Idaho and all that portion of the state of South Dakota lying south of the Forty-fourth parallel of north latitude; also the post of Fort Meade, South Dakota, for payment only."
A telegram was sent to Senator Thurston yesterday asking for his kind assistance in the matter of securing the addition of Colorado and Utah, should any channel be made in the boundary lines of the departments as now indicated.
Mr. Manderson remarked that the Department of the Platte was one of the most important in the country, including as it did, several of the great Indian reservations and that it should be increased by the addition of the territory mentioned because the territory indicated was directly contiguous and for many years was included in the department.
"It is a well-known fact that Fort Meade should be included in the present boundary lines, as it is very much cheaper to handle goods from Omaha to Fort Meade than from St. Paul. Fort Douglas, also, regretted being removed from the present department, as well as the officers in command of the department, but superior officers thought the change would be beneficial and accordingly it was placed in another department. | 43 |

CATTLB There were only forty-three
loads of cattle , nil told , In the yards. In
the way of beef cattle there wore not
enough to make n market , there being very-
few fat Hteeis on sale.
The market was extremely slow and dull ,

offerings were so light such cattle ns sold
brought about steady prices. One bunch of
1,151-lb steers sold at $1 S3. and some lighter
cattle at $1 SO
Cows nnd heifers were In light supply , ns
usual , and were not long In changing hands
There were hardly nnv stackers or feeders

SAN FRANCISCO , May 3 For the first
time In eight days William Herslngor , a
young man living at C21 Hush street , slept
yesterday. Ho has had a narrow escape
Irom death and Buffered Intense agony , and all
because he was Indlecreet enough to eat
mashed potatoes in a cheap restaurant on
brills street. The potatoes contalnel some
bits of glass.
Young Hcrslnger ate his unluclcy meal at
noon on Wednesday a week ago Ho at
tempted to swallow a mouthful of potatoes
without proper mastication and felt some
thing stick In his throat Ho fought a doc
tor , who found that the throat had been
hadly cut by come foreign substance , pre
sumably glass Ho prescribed for the pa
tient , who went to bed The next Hay the
throat was violently Inflamed. The patient
was unable to swallow , niul in spite of the
efforts of two phjslcians he grew worse.
The unfortunate young man's throat was
enormously swollen Faturday night and
seemed to bo wholly closed by the Inflamma
tion and the doctors who were called late In
the night thought they would have to cut
the patient's throat and Insert a tube to en
able him to breathe
A poultice of Colorado mud relieved the
inflammation slightly , and finally two bags of
pu.3 that had formed In the throat broke and
the young man was relieved. For eight days
in the struggle against deJth ho had not
slept. Ho may recover.

pluck fruit before U Is ripe. Holders of some
staples lm\c llttcil them so far as to prevent
their marketing. Consumption ot materials
In Bomo branches Is checked by advances
which cannot Ii3 rcillzcd for finished products ,

Wheat Started Weak on Lower Cables but Recovered on Liberal Cash Business.
CORN WAS FIRM AT THE OPENING
Very little trading took place today and what there was did not affect the market significantly. On the whole, trading was very quiet, with only a small amount of business done in corn and oats. The primary market reported 331,000 bushels, compared with 527,000 on the corresponding day last year. Export clearances from the Atlantic seaboard amounted to about 215,000 bushels. The closing cables quoted spot wheat in Liverpool steady and futures slightly lower, Paris 30 centimes lower for near and 10 centimes lower for distant deliveries; wheat unchanged for May and 6 centimes lower for the September-December term, Berlin from 20 marks to 2 marks lower. The opening for July was a range from 50c down to 48c, and the latter was the lowest point it touched during the day. It rebounded slightly after noon, but later became weaker and had a decline to 48c during the last ten minutes from the close. The working of 1,000 bushels for shipment yesterday afternoon by Norton & Worthington and of 1,900,000 bushels by Garrity & Williams this morning was the reason assigned for the strength, but it was partially due to over-tonighting. Milling in the forenoon by the local crowd and buying induced by the dry weather in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, which found the scalpers all already short, caused the market to have a partial relapse in the last ten minutes and closed with sales at 50c. Corn was firm at the opening and became stronger as soon as it got a little backing from wheat. July opened at 49c, but by noon was playing around between 49c and 49.25c, which were the prices at which most of the day's business was done, and 49.25c was the latest trading price. Receipts were 27 cars, and exports were 6,500 bushels. Oats were quiet, with very little business done and fluctuations were mainly ruled by corn and wheat. May started at 25.25c, sold at 25.5c, advanced to 25.75c and closed higher, at from 25.5c to 25.75c. July 'Old Hogs' 25.75c to 25.85c and rested at 25.85c bid.
Provisions opened firm, opening to the good demand for reported from the yards. Pork had an advantage of from 25c to 1c, followed by a decline of 11c, and at the close it had recovered a little and left off with a net loss of 20c. At the close, it was lower than on the day before, and the losses suffered to an equal extent. Hog receipts were 11,000 (expected for tomorrow). Wheat, corn, 1,000 cars; oats, 900 cars; hogs, 11,600 head.

HOGS There were only twenty-eight fresh
lots of HOGS in the yards, against forty-
eight last Thursday. The activity of the
offices was something extraordinary. In fact only fair. The
conditions, however, were difficult. In the end favorable
reports from other markets were enough to
countryside, and the buyers here anticipated HOGS
As a result, the trade opened at 10c higher, in
most cases 10c higher, and was maintained throughout the
morning. Every inch was sold and reevaluated
up before 10 o'clock in the morning. The best
hogs were sold at $1.70, with the bulk of the
inferior weights, at $1.50 to $1.60. Representative

May, SAN FRANCISCO, May 3 For the first time in eight days William Herschel, a young man living at 621 Bush street, slept yesterday. He has had a narrow escape from death and suffered intense agony, and all because he was indolent enough to eat mashed potatoes in a cheap restaurant on Fillmore street. The potatoes contained some bits of glass. Young Herschel ate his unlucky meal at noon on Wednesday a week ago. He attempted to swallow a mouthful of potatoes without proper mastication and felt something stick in his throat. He fought a doctor, who found that the throat had been badly cut by some foreign substance, presumably glass. He prescribed for the patient, who went to bed. The next day the throat was violently inflamed. The patient was unable to swallow, and in spite of the efforts of two physicians he grew worse. The unfortunate young man's throat was enormously swollen Saturday night and seemed to be wholly closed by the inflammation and the doctors who were called late in the night thought they would have to cut the patient's throat and insert a tube to enable him to breathe. A poultice of Colorado mud relieved the inflammation slightly, and finally two bags of pus that had formed in the throat broke and the young man was relieved. For eight days in the struggle against death, he had not slept. He may recover. John Brown, May 3. Captain John Drown, Jr., died at his home on the Island of Put-In-Bay last night.

DUN'S AND CARBON DISULFIDE. May Business Outlook Better Than at Any Time in Two Years. STRIKES ARE A DISTURBING ELEMENT "peculiar advantage" in Wheat, Chicago-peculiar prices in the Iron Industry influenced and disturbed in some. The market is duller. NEW YORK, May 3. E.C. Dim & Co.'s review of trade, which issues tomorrow, will say: Business begins in May in better condition than at any other time since the breakdown in May, 1893. Smaller in volume than then, it is not shrinking, but enlargening. The chief obstacle to a more complete recovery is the anxiety of many to pluck fruit before it is ripe. Holders of some staples have held them so far as to prevent their marketing. Consumption of materials in some branches is checked by advances which cannot be realized for finished products, workers in some industries are demanding wages that cannot be paid out of any business in sight. In spite of labor troubles, the outlook brightens, money markets continue healthy and with envy slow of railway bonds abound the deficiency in public revenue. April, cash sales show no upward tendency. Demands for full restoration of wages to the level of 1890 have closed many voluntary mills and threaten others. The strike, which closed the Iron furnaces at New Castle, Pa., has just ended without success, but other strikes have stopped numerous walks along the Monongahela, and the Pennsylvania coke workers are on a strike and one is threatened by the Alabama coal miners.
The speculative fever grows more serious, as is natural when businesses start up with prices at extreme low points, but by lifting wheat from 3 cents to 13 cents, Atlantic exports have been checked, and, although our imports have been only 17,712 bushels, against 3,017,463 last year. The closing was at 35 cents. Western receipts are now larger than a year ago, and, except in parts of some states, the promise for the next yield is excellent. A sale of 20,000 tons by the Grain Exchange in San Francisco, holding fifty ships for Europe, will lessen other demands on Atlantic supplies.
Knockdown transactions in cotton have been followed by a decline from 7 to 6 cents, though peace in China was represented as insuring a greatly increased demand.
The strike of the Newcastle, Penn., Iron workers, now over, resulted in a stiffening of bessemer steel that $107.50 was quoted at Pittsburgh, and the closing of the Wheeling mills influenced bar billets, while southern makers have nominally advanced their prices so they have been made here under $10 for No. 2 Additional contracts for structural work better and at Chicago, sales of 7,000 tons of rails at least, a better demand for wire and its products and for plates and sheets are encouraging features this week. While nails are a shade higher at 85 cents, and our mills at 70 cents by car load, are less formidable rivals.
Consumption does not equal the capacity of the works nor the output of pig iron, but improves. Late in the week, important strikes in Iron works about Pittsburgh threatened serious disturbances. Another heavy decrease of 11,017 tons in the output of coke makes the shrinkage monthly 10 percent in two weeks and furnaces offered at $1.10.
Anthracite coal agents exhibit only three days of the week in May, but prices are unchanged.
Window glass makers have adopted a new scale for the two low brackets, 10 cents higher than before. The rise in prices of cotton goods continues. The woolen year ends with the lowest price yet known, 11 cents quotations by Continental Hros averaging 13 to 17 cents, against 15.32 last year and 22.70 two years ago. Large sales at such prices are natural, and in April 11,790,690 pounds of domestic and 11,830,653 pounds of foreign wool were sold at the three chief markets, against 8,760,475 pounds domestic and 7,775,400 pounds foreign last year. Sales since January 1 have been 7,815 pounds against 8,741 in 1892, and less in 1891 and 1890. The demand for woolen goods does not improve, and many cancellations are reported, although the balance of wool indicates large consumption.
The week's failures are 231 in the United States, against 231 last year, and 31 in Canada, against 31 last year.
The decrease or trade volume with
(Anemically better prices.
NEW YORK, May 3 Broadway's tomorrow will say. The manifest improvement in many lines of general trade has resulted in an increase of the volume of business not-withstanding idleness of 6,000 Illinois flour mills worsened operators and many other industrial lines reports of active flour including wheat from both coasts of the United States, amount to 1,923,000 bushels, against 2,431,000 bushels last week, 177,300 bushels the corresponding week a year ago. 5,861,000 bushels three years ago, and as compared with 2,606,000 bushels exported the first week of May, 1891. This week's output is about the average for months past.
Wheat stocks in the United States on May 1 of 90,101,000 bushels are smaller than at a like state one and two years ago. For many months, the totals have been largely in excess of like figures either one or two years before. The decrease of domestic stocks for four months is twice what it was one year ago, and 250 percent of what it was in 1890.
The price movements retain the characteristics of preceding weeks, a long list of gains wheat, 21.75 cents, corn, 5.75 cents, sugar, 9.75 cents, sole leather, 2.25 cents; upper leather and hides (nominally), shoes, prints, lath and doors at western points and pits; Iron of all grades at $1.025 - 23 cents per ton. Live cattle at western centers are practically unchanged, as are crushed Iron, coal, pit props, Iron and steel at eastern markets, and all except inferior grades of wool.
Wool prices have been a little easier, with lower prices paid for inferior grades at the London prices, and domestic country prices above a parity with those current at leading markets.
There is only fair business in cotton goods and prices remain firm. No gain is looked for until demand for fall prices becomes general. Decreases in quotations within the week include a reaction of 1.25 cents in cotton; oats, 1.5 cents; pork, 25 cents, coffee, 1.5 cents; hogs, 6 cents, and on petroleum 3 percent per barrel.
Today the Egyptians will give two performances at Boyle's theater of their beautiful spectacle, "Humpty Dumpty Up to Date" a matinee at 2:30 this afternoon and the regular evening performance at 8. There is probably not a show in America that has the attraction for children that the Egyptians in "Humpty Dumpty" has, with its bright little people, ponies, fairies, and giant.
The engagement of the Egyptians will close tomorrow (Sunday) night and several German Ballets will be in attendance.

Harrison Buckner in Court Again.
Martha Ann Buckner, the second and latest wife of Harrison Buckner, who was wedded in Omaha in 1873, while the wife of Harrison Buckner's youthful days was still living in Kansas, has filed an answer with Judge Baxter to the citation issued by Mrs. Harvey, the daughter of the first Mrs. Buckner. Both of the wives of Harrison Buckner survive him. Over the disposition of his estate, they are fighting. Recently the daughter had her step-mother, Mrs. Buckner, No. 2, cited to show cause why the rents of the house left in the Buckner estate had not been paid into court. The answer Mrs. Buckner has filed explains. She says she owns the west half of the lot in Godfrey's addition, the title to which her husband got by fraud practiced on her and that for that she has a case in court, brought to maintain her rights. The house stands partially on the land which it is admitted Buckner had title to, and there is a large prospective field for litigation over this strip of land.
Charles Agilii at the theater.
William Hauman claims that one of the county justices of the peace is giving him no end of trouble and that the outcome of his difficulties may result in his being ejected from house and home.
Hauman is a renter of Mrs. J.N. Sillow, who owns land in section 1, township 15, range 8. As Hauman's term, which expired March 1 of this year, Mrs. Sillow began ejectment proceedings before Justice David Smith. Hauman was defeated in his appeal; he charges Smith with having queered the case by having refused him a right to a jury trial. He also alleges that Sinith acted as judge and attorney.
MOST KILL BEEF IN THE WEST
Why Eastern Stiffeners Cannot Successfully Compete.
In considering means by which New York packers can hold their own against beef exporters in the west, the National Provington, published in New York, has reached the conclusion that New York houses must kill in the west. Last Saturday's issue of that paper furnished figures in support of that view.
They showed that in 1881, the west sent 625,000 dressed beeves to New York, with an imputation of 2,000,000, and 321,200 beeves in 1882, when the population was probably 2,000,000. New York slaughterers killed 8,000 beeves weekly in 1881 and 6,000 weekly in 1882. Their slaughter thus decreased 25 percent, while population increased 30 percent. The west supplied the increased demand.
Shipments of western beef to European markets have increased in a much larger proportion yet, to the detriment of New York City. The shipments of western dressed beef to English markets especially have increased in such proportions that while New York did formerly nearly all the export trade in beef, only about a quarter of the beef shipped to New York City dressed, while three-quarters, or 75 percent, approximately, comes from the west.
"It seems evident that the western packers can lay down their dressed beef in New York for less money than the New York slaughterer by bringing live cattle from the west, killing and marketing here. If this decrease continues a few years more, it is plain that the killing of cattle in New York will be decreased to the same proportions as in other sections, as, for instance, New England, where western packers have almost entirely crowded out local slaughterers."

Late yesterday afternoon Sheriff John Loherly arrived in the city from Sidney for the man who was arrested here Thursday afternoon on information that he telegraphed to the police. The sheriff positively identified the man as the one wanted. While here he gave his name as A. Plischner, but his right name is W.P. Webber.
Webber is wanted in Sidney for passing two bogus checks. He was in the town only two days, but in that time he managed to ingratiate himself with a hotel keeper with whom he was staying, and with a jeweler, to the former representing himself as a traveling salesman for a Jewelry firm. As a matter of accommodation, each cashed a check for him.
Sheriff Dohertry returned with his prisoner last night. Webber has continuously maintained his innocence.
DEMLIK WAS IN THE DEAL, TOO
Another at the store who helped Allen Bros. has been implicated in the thefts from which the firm has suffered during the last three months. His name is Paul D. Demlik and his residence is 51 Hickory street. A warrant has been issued for his arrest, but he has not yet been found. His residence was visited yesterday by Sergeant Haze and one of the proprietors of the firm yesterday and a quantity of different kinds of goods were discovered.
It is thought that Demlik has left the city. Yesterday morning when he arrived at the store he was informed of the arrest of Fieldridge and Daldwin on the charge of larceny. Shortly after he asked to be discharged from work on account of sickness. Since that time he has not been seen. He has left a wife and four children in poor circumstances.
Minor Court Matters.
The attorneys representing Ella Grattan in the suit of ejectment brought against her by Charles Ogden have asked for another trial. When Judge Blair tried the case, he decided that as Grattan's building stood six inches over and upon the line of Ogden's property, the defendant would have to be ejected.
Last December the replevin suit of Marshal Field & Co. against S.P. Morse & Co. was tried in court and Morse won the suit. The jury not only awarded him possession of a stock of silks worth $207.99, but damages for $283. The Chicago firm is trying to effect an appeal to the supreme court.
HOWLER (Untrue.) Auctioned.
At the regular meeting of the Board of Public Works yesterday, the contract for the construction of the extension of the South Omaha sewer to Krug's brewery was let to Katz & Crandall for $2.19 per foot. American cement will be used. The lowest bid on Portland cement was $2.39. The other bidders were James Jensen, Charles Tanning, John T. Daily, J.O. Corbett, Co. tele & O'Brady, and Haman & McDonald. The extension contemplates the construction of about 1,150 feet of three-foot sewer and the estimated cost under the Katz & Crandall bid is $3,000.
One dose of Steam's Electric Paste is death to rats, cockroaches, and other vermin; 25c. Tom Brownall Play for the Browns.
ST. LOUIS, May 3. A telegram from Manager Buckenburger brings information that Tom Brown has finally agreed to play center field for the Browns. Hogan has either been "farmed" to Indianapolis or else released to that club. Tom will join the club at Cincinnati Sunday and will make his first appearance on the home grounds in Monday's game against the Bostonians.

2JS3 World of Cant u | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1895.
OF 1,000,000 BOOKS, INCLUDING OVER 1,100 DIFFERENT TITLES.
These books are offered to the readers of THE OMAHA BEE at no charge, save alone. It was a trade revolution of immeasurable value to the people, inasmuch as it brought within the reach of all, rich and poor alike. The receiver for sale at any price that would convert it into ready cash. THE BEE has taken proprietorship to its subscribers, prefaced by a brief statement showing how it is enabled, by books that had formerly cost dollars, could now be had for as many dimes. The logical advantage of the opportunity and has been enabled, at a merely nominal cost, to place a portion of a peculiar combination of trade conditions, to undertake this remarkable "Free Book Enterprise." The result was an immense increase in book consumption; a corresponding increase in their production of the stock at the disposal of its readers. To this there have been added other advantages to its readers. The manufacture; then an overproduction, followed by an undue trade competition, and finally advantageous purchases of standard works in editions now for the most part withdrawn from the market.
BOOKS. The apparently inevitable trade device the "trust." The publishers of the popular and market in the aggregate, this stock thus secured, amounts to a million volumes and in low-priced "libraries" considered their business into "The International Book Company" includes over 1,100 different titles and originally sold by the publishers at prices ranging from 10 cents to 50 cents per volume comprising science, history, biography, travel, fiction, poetry, theology, and economics, by almost all the leading writers in the English language. It is but a few years since the popular "library" form of book publication came into existence: It was the beginning of the revolt against extravagant prices for books. cheap books. It went into the hands of a receiver and the immense stock which it had been as well as translations from many of the most celebrated foreign authors, ancient and modern, was secured by the International Book Company.
A NEW DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.
To reduce to a minimum the considerable expense necessarily involved in the distribution of such a large number of books to so many persons, scattered over an area of more than half a hundred states, the work will be done in strict accordance with the following carefully considered rules and regulations:
1. The free book distribution is to the subscribers new and old alike of The Omaha Bee, identity of the subscriber must therefore be established. To do this, cut out and mail to the office of the paper, one DECLARATION, attesting subscription to The Bee, like the one printed in this announcement. One of these DECLARATIONS will appear in every issue of The Bee until further notice.
2. The distribution will be made by mail only; no books will be delivered at the office of the paper, as it would involve the storage of a million volumes at one place, which would be impractical.

Subscribers will mail to the office of The Century the Century cut from the paper and with it 5 cents in coin, to cover postage and mailing expense, and give the number of the book wanted. The book must be ordered by number as given in the catalogue, and not by the name of the book. Every order for a book should contain at least three numbers, indicating the first, second, and third choice, so that if the first choice should happen to be out of stock, another book to the subscriber's taste can be sent instead. If an order is for more than one book at a time, then three times as many numbers as there are books ordered should be set down in the order of preference, and so far as the stock in hand will allow the same sequence will be observed in filling the order. 2217 Essays Speculative and Practical Herbert Spencer

Order. When the number is preceded by a letter thus A-18 or DC-3, be sure that the letter as well as the number is given in the order.
Write name and address of subscriber distinctly.
How many books can a subscriber send for? As the stock of books is limited, the plan of distribution is arranged so as to give each subscriber an equal opportunity to get as many books as any other subscriber in the aggregate, an average of ONE OR THREE VOLUMES EACH DAY is all any one subscriber can obtain. This restriction is secured by the fact that only one CENTURY is printed each day and one CENTURY CERTIFICATE must be sent for each volume selected by the subscriber. But certificates may be accumulated and a single order sent at one time may include as many volumes as there are certificates sent with the order.

1025 Can a subscriber send in more than one order for books? Yes, as many as may be desired, provided each order is accompanied by the required number of CHARGE CERTIFICATES and money as explained above.
1026 Can more than one book be ordered at a time? Yes, provided a CHARGE CERTIFICATE and money are sent for each volume, as explained above, all the certificates being of different dates.
Whenever an order is received for a book, the supply of which has been exhausted by earlier orders and the same is true of the substitutes named in the order, the HKH will fill the order with some other book from the list at its own discretion and without correspondence or other explanation than this statement. This rule is deemed necessary, as it is manifestly impractical to assume the burden and expense of extensive correspondence in matters involving 1110 Col. Quarters, V.C., H.

A FIGHT fflTIl MM
A Stirring Story of Adventure of the South
ern Sea.
,
( IJy roun o\ell WllJimn )
The dally Straits Times on the desk be
fore me. contained a vivid word picture of the
"Capture of the British aleanuhlp Namoa ,
by 300 Chlnt-o pirates , the guns of Hongkong
almost within sight , and the year of our
Lord , IS'JO , but Jiml drawing to a close. "
The report teemed Incredible ,
I pushed the paper across the table to
thfl grizzled old taptaln of the Hunker Hill
nnd continued my examination of the ac
counts of a half dozen sailors of whom he
was Intent on Retting rid. lly the time I
hail signed the last discharge and affixed the
consular seal , he had finished the article
and put It aside with a contemptuous "btlmi > . "
expressive of his opinion of the \alor of the
crew and officers. I could see that he was
anxious for me to give him my attention
vvhllo he related one of those long drawn out
utorles of perhaps a like personal experience
I knew the svmptoms and took occasion to
escape , If business or Inclination undo me
forego the pleasure Today 1 was In a lit
mood to humor him.
There Is always something dcllclously re
freshing In a sailor's > arn. I ha\e listened
to hundreds In the course of my consular
career , and have jet to Una one that Is duller
or prosy. They all bear the Imprint of
truth , perhaps a trifle overdiawn , but ncvcr-
the lets sparkling with the salt of the sc.t.
and redolent with the romance of utrjngc
people and dlttant lands. In listening one
becomes almott dizzy at the rapldltv with
\\1ilch the scene and personnel chinge The
Icebergs and the aurora borcalla of the Arctic
give place to the tepid waters and the south
ern cross of the South Pacific. A volcanic
Island , an Arabian de'ert , a tropical jungle
and the breadth and width of the ocean serv ?
as the theater , \\hKe a 1'egll Islander , an Cs-
( | ulmaux nnd a turbaned Arab are the actors
In a half hour's tale. In Interest thsy rival
Verne , Kingston or Marryat. All they lack
Is skilled hands to dress them In proper lan
guage.
TIIC CAPTAIN'S YAUN
The captain helped himself to one of my
Manilas and commenced
"I've ' nothing to say about the fate of the
poor fellows on the Namoa , seeing the captain
was killed at the first fire , but It looks to me
like a case of carelessness which was almost
criminal. The Idea of allowing 300 Chinese
to come aboard as passengers without tcarch-
.ng them for arms. Why ! It Is an open bid
to pirates Goes to show prettly plain that
these seas are not cleared of pirates. Sailing
ships nowadays think they can go anywhere
without a pound of powder or an old cut-
lasB aboard Just because there Is an English
or Dutch man-of-war within a hundred
miles. I don't know what we'd have done
when I first traded among these Islands
without a good brass swivel and a stock of
percussion cap muskets.
"Let me see , It was In ' 58 , I was a cabin
boy on the brltf 'Danger. ' Captain Howe ,
hale old fellow from Maine , had his two little
boys aboard. They are merchants now In
Boston. On the 'Elmlra' I've been sailing
for them ever since. Wo were trading along
the coast of Borneo Those were great days
for trading In spite of the pirates. That was
long before iron steamers sent our good
oaken ships to rot In the deck yards of
Maine. Why , In those days jou could
Bee n half dozen of our snug little crafts In
any port of the world , and I've fcecn more
American flags In this very harbor of Singa
pore than of any other nation. We had come
into Snngaporo with a ship load of Ice , ( no
scientific ice factories then ) , and had gone
along the coast of Java and Borneo to load
with coffee , rubber and spices for a return
voyage. Wo were Just oft Kuchlng , the capi
tal of Sarawak , and about loaded , when the
captain heard that gold had been discovered
somewhere up near the head of the Kcjang.
The captain was an adventurous old salt and
decided to test the truth of the story , so tak
ing the long boat and ten men , he pulled
up the Sarawak river to Kuchlng and got
permission of Rajah Brook to go up the
Rejang on a hunting expedition. The rajah
\\ns curtcous but tried to dissuade us from
the undertaking by relating that several
bands of Dykas had been out on head huntIng -
Ing expeditions of late , nnd that the mouth
of the Rejang was Infested by Illanum pi
rates. The captain only laughed , and Jok
ingly told Sir James that If the game proved
scarce he might come back and claim the
prize money on a boatload of pirate heads
"Wo started at once , for captiln let me
go , and rowed some sixty miles along the
coast to the mouth of the Rejang Then for
FIGHTING HAND-TQ.IIAND.
four days we pulled up Its snake-Ilka course
It was my first bit of adventure , and every
thing was strange and now The river's
COUIEP was llko a great tunnel Into the dense
black Jungle. On each side and above , we
were completely walled In by an Impenc
trablo growth of great tropical trees and the
Iron-like vines of the rubber. The sun for a
few hours each day came in broken shafts
down through the foliage and exposed the
black back of a crocodile on the green sides
of an Iguana. Troops of monkeys swung am
chattered In the branches abova and a
Intervals a grove of cocoanut broke the
monotony of the scenery. Among them wo
would land and rest for the day or night
cat of their Juicy fruit and go on short ex
curslons for game. A roasted monkey , some
baked yams nnd a delicious rlco curry made
up a royal bill of fare and as the odor o
our tobacco mixed with the breathing per
fume of the jungle , I would fall asleep listen
InK to sea yarns that sometimes ran back to
the war of 1612.
II.
"At the end of the fifth day we arrlve <
at the head of the Rejang. Hero the river
broke up Into a dozen small streams and a
gnamp. A stockade had been erected am
the rajah had stationed a small compati ;
of native soldiers under an English olll'-er
to keep the head-hunting Dyaks In check
I don't remember what our captain found
out In regard to the gold fields , at least , I
was not encouraging , for he gave up the
search and joined the English lleutenan
In a grand deer hunt that lasted for five
days , and then started back , accompanlei
by two native soldiers bearing dispatches
to the rajah.
"It was easy running down the river with
the current , One man In each end of the
boat kept It off roots , sunken logs and croco
dlles , and the rest of us spent the time na
best our cramped space allowed. Twice we
detected the black ugly face of a Dyak peer-
lug from out the jungle. The men were
or hunting them down for the price on their
leads , but the captain Eild that he never
killed a human being except In self-defense ,
and that If the rajah wanted to get rid of
he savages he had better give the contract
0 n Mississippi slave trader. Secretly I
\as longing for some kind of excitement , and
\OB hoping that the men's clamorous talk
vould have some effect. I never doubted
our ability to raid a Iyak village and kill
he head-hunters and carry off the beautiful
naldens. I could not see why
a parcel of blacks should be
such a terror to the good rajah
when Big Tom tald he could easily handle
1 dozen and flattered me by saying tint such
i brawny lad as I ought to take care of
two at least.
"In the course of three days we reached the
mouth of the river and prepared the sail
for the trip across the bay to the Dingor
Just as everything was In readiness one of
those peculiar and rapid changes In the
weather took place , that are to common
hero In the tropics , near the equator. A
great blue , blnck cloud , looking like an Im
mense cutrldge , came up from the west.
Through It played vlved flashes of lightning
and around It was a red haze. "A nasty
animal , " I heard the Bo'son tell the captain ,
and jet I wa * fqpllshly delighted when they
decided to risk a blow and put to sea. The
sky on all sides grew darker from hour to
hour. A smell of sulphur came to our nos
trils It was oppressively hot , not a breath
of wind was stirring The sail flapped use
lessly against the mast and the men labored
at the oirs while streams of sweat ran from
their bodies.
"The captain had Just taken do n the mast
when , without a moment's warning , the gale
struck us and the boat half filled with water
We arranged to head It with the wind and
were soon driving with the rapidity of a
cannon ball over the boiling and surging
waters. It was a fearful gale ; we blew for
hours before it , oftlmes in danger of a
volcanic reef , again almost sunken by a
giant wave I billed until I was completely
exhausted , but the long boat was a staunch
little craft and there were plenty of men to
manage it , BO as long as we could keep her
before the wind the captain felt no great
anxiety as to our safety.

"At about six bells in the afterncon the
wind fell away and the rain came down in
torrents , leaving us to pitch about on the
rapidly decreasing waves , wet to the skin
and unequal to another effort. Wo were
within a mlle of a rocky Island that rose like
a half ruined castla from the ocean. The
Dyak soldiers called It Satang Island , and I
have sailed past It many a time since
Without waiting for the word we rowed to It.
and around it before we found a suitable
beach on which to land One end of the
Island rose perclpltous and sheer above the
beach a hundred feet and ended In a barren
plateau of some two dozen acres. The re
mainder comprised some hundred acres of
sand and rocks on which were half a dozen
cocoanut treoa and a few yams. Along the
beach we found a largo number of turtle
eggs.
"The captain remembering the rajah's cau
tion In ngard to pirates , decided not to make
a light , but we were wet and hungry and
overcame his scruples , and soon had a huge
flre and a savory repast of coffee , turtles'
eggs and > ams. At midnight It was extin
guished and a watch stationed on top of the
plateau ; toward morning I clambered grum
bling up the narrow , almost perpendicular
sides of the rift that cut Into the rocky
watch tower. I did not believe In pirates and
was willing to take my chances In sleep. I
paced back and forth Inhaling deep breaths
of the rich tropical air ; below me the waves
beat In ripples against the rugged beach , castIng -
Ing off from time to time little flashes of
phosphorent light and mirroring In their
depths the hardly distinguishable outlineof
the southern cross. The salt smell of the sea
was tinged with the spice-laden air of the
near coast. Drowsiness came over me. I
picked up a musket and paced around the lit
tle plateau. The moon had but just reached
its zenith making all objects easily discern
ible. The smooth storm-swept space before
mo reflected back Its rays like a well scrub
bed quarter deck ; below were the dark
outlines of my sleeping mates. I could hear
the light wind rustling through the branches
of the Casuarnla trees that fringed the shore.
I paused and looked out over the sea. Like
a charge of electricity a curious sensation
of fear shot through me. Then an Intimation
that some object had flashed between me and
the moon. I rubbed my eyes and gazed In
the air above , expecting to see a night birder
or a bat. Then the same peculiar sensation
came over mo again and I looked down into
the water below just In time to cee the long
keen knife-like outline of a pirate prahu
glide as noiselessly as a shadow from a pass
ing cloud Into the gloom of the Island. Its
great , wide spreading dark-red sails were
set full to the wind and hanging over its
side by ropes , were a dozen naked Illanums
guiding the sensitive craft like a thing of
life. Within the prahu were two dozen fight
ing men , armed with their alligator hide
buckler , long steel tipped spear and ugly
snake-like krls. A third prahu followed In
the wake of the -other two and all three were
lost In the blackness of the overhanging
cliffs.
"With as little noise as possible I ran
across the plain and warnet my companion ,
then picked my way silently down the de
file to the camp. The captain responded
to my touch , and was up In an Instant
The men were awakened and the news whis
pered from one to another. Gathering up
what food ard utensils we possessed we
hurried to get on top of the plateau before
our exact whereabouts became known The
captain hoped that when they discovered we
were well fortified and there weto no wrecks
to pillage , they would withdraw without
giving battle. They had landed on the op
posite side of the Island from our boat and
might leave It undisturbed. We felt reason
ably safe In our fortress from attacks There
were but two breaks in Its precipitous sides ,
each a narrow defile filled with loose boul
ders that could easily be detached and sent
thundering down on an assailant's head.
On the other hand our shortness of food
and water made us singularly weak In case
of a siege. But we hoped for the best ,
Two men were pos'ed at each defile , and as
nothing was heard for an hour , most of
us dropped aslc p.
IV.
"It was Just at dawn when we were
awakened by the report of two muskets and
the terrific crashing of a great boulder fol
lowed by groans and yella. With one accord
wo rushed to the head of the canyon. The
Illanums , naked with the exception of parti-
color&l sarongs around their waists , with
their bucklers on their left arms and their
gleaming knives ( trapped to their right
wrists , were .mounting en each other's shoul
ders , forcing a way up the precipitous defile
u.nmlndful of the madly descindlng rocks
that had crushed and maimed nrre than
one of their number. They were fine , pow
erful fellous. with a reddish brown fkln
that ihcna like polished ebony. Their hair
was shorn close to their heads ; they bad high
cheek bones , flat notes , syrah atalned Up *
and btood-shet ores , In their movements
they were as lithe and supple as a tiger and
commanded our admiration while they made
us shudder. We knew that they neither
give nor take quarter , and tor years had ter
rorized the entire Bornean coast.
"We were ready to fire but a gesture from
the captain restrained us ; our ammunition
was low and he wished to save It until we
actually needed It. lly our united efforts wo
pried off two of the volcanic rocks , which ,
with a great leap , disappeared Into the dark
ness below , oftlmes appearing for an Instant
before rushing to the sea. Every time an
Illanum fell we gave a hearty American
cheer , which was answered by savage jells.
Still they fought on and up making little
headway. We were gradually relaxing our
efforts , thinking that they were sick of the
affair , when the report of a musket from the
opposite side of the Island called our attention
to the 'Bo'sn , * who had been detailed to guard
the other defile.
"The boatswain and one native soldier were
fighting hand to hind with a dozen pirates
who were forcing their way up the edge of
the cliff , Half of the men dashed to their
relief just In time to see the soldier go over
the precipice locked In the arms of a giant
Illanum , One volley from our muskets
settled the hopes of the Invaders. Our little
party was divided and we were outnumbered
ten to one. One of the sailors In dislodging
a boulder lost his footing and went crashing
down with It , amid the derisive yells of the
pirates Suddenly the conflict ceased and the
pirates withdrew. In A short time we could
see them building n number of small fires
along the beach and the aroma of rice curry
came up to us with the breeze. The captain ,
I could sec , was anxious , although my bojlsh
feelings did not go beyond a sense of Intoxi
cating excitement. I heard him say that
nothing but a storm or a bhlp could save
us In case we were be'leged ; that It was
better to have the fight out at once , and die
with our arms in our hands than starve ted
d ath.
"Giving us each a small poitlon of ship
biscuit and a taste of water he enjoined on
each a careful watchfulness and a provident
use of our small stock of provisions.
"I took mine In my hand and walked out
on the edge of the cliff somewhat sobered.
Directly below me were the pirates and at
my feet I noticed a fragment of rock that I
thought I could loosen Putting down my
food I foolishly picked up a piece of timber
which I used as a lever , when , without warn
ing , the mass broke away and with a tre
mendous bound went crashing down Into the
very midst of the pirates , scattering them
light and left , and cndri by crushing one of
the prahus that was drawn up on the sand
"In an Instant the quiet beach was a scene
"I CLOSED MY EYES AND FIRED
of the wildest confusion. A surging , crowdIng -
Ing mass of pirates with their krls' between
their teeth , dashed up the canyon Intent on
avenging their loss. I dropped my lever and
rushed back to the men nearly frightened to
death , at the result of my temerity. There
was no time for boulders , the men reached
the brink of the defile Just In time to wel
come the assailants with a broadside. Their
lines wavered , but fresh men look the places
of the fallen , and they pushed ; on. Another
volley from our guns and the dead and
wounded encumbered the progress of the liv
ing. A shower of stones and timbers gave
. us the fight and they withdrew with savage
yells to once more open the siege. Only one
of our men had been wounded. He by an
arrow from a blow pipe.V. .

"All that night we kept watch. The nex
morning wo were once mora attacked , bu
successfully defended ourselves with bould
crs and our cutlasses. Yet one swarthy
pirate succeeded In catching the leg of the
remaining native soldier and bearing him
away with them With cessation of hos
tllltlea we saarched the top of the Island for
food and water. At one sldo of the table
land there was a break In Its surface and a
beach of some dozen acres lay perhaps
twenty feet below our retreat. Wo cautiously
worked our way down to this portion am
there to our delight found a number of fan
shaped travelers , palms and monkey cups
full of sweet water , which , with two wild
sago palms , we calculated would keep us
alive a few days at all events.
"We were much encouraged at this dls
covery and that night collected a lot of brusl
from the lower plain and lit a big flre on the
most exposed part of the rocks. Wo did no
care If It brought a thousand more pirates as
long as It attracted the attention of a passing
ship. Two good nine-pounders would seer
end our foes In all directions. We relieve *
each other In watching during the night , and
by sunrise we were all completely worn out
The third day was one of weariness am
thirst under the burning rays of the tropl
cal sun. Tliat day we ate the last o
our ship biscuit and were reduced to a
few drops of water each. Starvation was
looking us In the face. There was but one
alternative , and that'was to descend am
make a fight for our boat on the twach. The
Bo'son volunteered , with three men , to de
scend the defile and1 reconnolter. Armed
only with their cutlasses and a short ax they
worked their way carefully down In the
, shadow of the rocks , while we kept watcl
above.
"All was quiet for a time , then there arose
a. tumult of cries , oaths and yells. The cap
tain gave the order and pell-mell down the
rift wo clambered , some dropping their mus
kets In their hurried descent , one exploJIng
In its fall. The 'Bo'son' had found the
beach and our boat guarded by six pirates
who were asleep , four of whom they succecde <
in throttling. Wo pushed our boat Into th
surf , expecting every moment to see one o
tha prahus glide around the two Inlets. We
coald plainly hear their cries and yells as
they discovered our escape , and with a heigh
o-helgh our long boat shot out into the plack
ocean , sending up a shower of phosphoren
bubbles. We bent our backs to the oars as
only a question of life or death can make
one. With each stroke the boat seen ed al
most to lift Itself out of ths > water. Almos
at the same time a long , dark line , filled with
moving objects , dashed out from the shadow
of the cliffs hardly 100 yards away.
"It was a glorious race over the dim waters
of that tropical sea. I as a boy could no
realize what capture meant at the hands o
our cruel pursuers. My heart beat high and
I felt equal to a dozen Illanums. My
thoughts traveled back to New England In
the midst of the excitement. I saw mysel
before the open arch fire In a low roofed oh
house , that for a century had withstood the
fiercest giles on the old Maine coast , and
from whose doors had gone forth three g'n
eratlons of sea captains , I saw myself on a
winter night Jelating this very adventure to
an old gray-haired , bronzed faced father
and a mother whose parting kiss still lingered
gored on my lips , to my youngsr brother and
sister. I could feel their undisguised ad
miration as I told cf my fight with pirates
In the Boran sea. It is wonderful how the
mind will travel. Yet with my thoughts in
Maine I saw and felt that the Illanums were
gradually gaining on us. Our men were
weary and feeble from two days fasting
while the pirates were strong and thlrstln ;
for our blool ,
"The captain kept glancing first at the
enemy and then at the musket that lay nea
him. He longed to use It , but not a man
could be spared from the oars. Hand over
hand they gained on us. Turning his eyes
on me , seated In the bow , the captain said
while he bent his sinewy back to the oar
Jack , are you a good shot1 I stsmmerec
and answered , 'I can try , sir. ' 'Very well
get the musket there in the bow. It Is
loaded. Take good aim and shoot that big
fellow In the ( tern. It you hit him I'll make
you a master of a ship some day. ' Trem
blingly I raised the heavy musket as dl
reeled. The boat was unsteady. I hardly ex
jjectcd to bit tie chief , but aimed low , hoping
o hit one of the rowers at least. I aimed ,
iloted my eyes and fired. With the report of
he musket the tail leader sprang Into the
air and then felt head foremost amid his
rowers. I coulil ( Just detect the gleams of
he moonlight on ( he jeweled handle of hlu
iris as he ( ante Into the waters. I had hit
ny man. The sailors sent up a hearty Amor-
can cheer and a tiger , as they saw the prahu
: amcto a standstill. Our boat sprang away
nto the darkncis. Wo did not cease rowing
until dawn ; then we lay back on our oars
ind stretched our tired backs and arms , I
lad taken my place at the oar during the
night.
"Away out on tha northern horizon we saw
a black speck ; on the southern horizon an
other , The captain's glass revealed one to
ba the pirate's prahu with all sails set , for
a wind had come up with the dawn. The
other we welcomed with a cheer , for It was
he 'Danger. ' Enfeebled and nearly fa-n-
shing we headed toward It and rowed for
life. How we regrettsd having left our
sails on the Island. The prahu had sighted
is and was bearing down In full pursuit ;
teen we could distinguish Its wide spread-
ng rakish satis almost touching the water
as It sped on Then v e made out the naked
'arms of the Illanumr hanging to the ropes ,
far out over the watir , and then we could
irar their blood curdling yell. It was too
late , their yell was one of balllcd rage. It
was answered by the deep bass tones of
the swivel on board the 'Bangor' sending
a ball skimming along over the waters
which , although It went wide of its mark ,
caused the natives on the ropes to throw
themselves bodily across the prahu , taking
the great sail with them ,
'In another Instant the red sail , the long
keen black shell , the naked forms of the
fierce Illanums were mixed In one undo-
finable blot on the distant horizon. "

HIDDEN STREAMS.
The Question of Umlcrcround inters for
Irrlgiitlnn Purposes
The development of largo enterprises for
the purposes of Irrigating arid or semi-arid
lands in tha west , says the Engineering
Record , has for a considerable time directed
the attention of engineers and others to the
Importance of underground waters in this
connection. Tluro ore many apparently "dry
rivers" In and vycst of the Rocky moun
tain region , as well as In Jrany portions cf
the country Immediately east of it , which
the early discoverers regarded as rather re
markable plmnomena. cf nature , but they
certainly1 never regarded them as sources
of great future wealth for the people whc
might subsequently develop that portion of
the country. It has long bcen known , however -
over , that these dry river beds are but the
top surfaces of accumulations of sand , gravel
and boulders , through which are flowing at
low velocities great bodies of water which
may be made available with comparative ease
for the Irrigation of large tracts of adjoining
country , essentially sterile and unproductive
In Its natural state. Many small landholders
as well as great Irrigation companies , are
wisely directing their efforts to the utlllzatlor
of these underground sources of agricultura
wealth , and the operations of engineers have
seldom been employed toward a more ad
vantageous direction of "the great sources o :
power in nature * for the use and convenience
of man. "
The legal character of these undergroum
percolating waters renders them particularly
available for the purposes of Irrigation , since
the title to them seems to rest with the
owner of the land in which they are found
No water may be taken from any surface
stream flowing above a well defined bed , ant
whose course may be clearly followed am
determined , without rendering adequate com
pensation to any rightful water user below
the point at which It is uxken from the
stream , but the owner of any land througl
which underground water may bo percolat
Ing may sink wells and drive tunnels for the
purpose of Intercepting and utilizing such
waters , apparently without any regard to
the effects upon the flow in similar wells and
tunnels In the vicinity of his own property
As long , therefore , as any party confines hi
operations within the boundaries of his own
land he may collect and distribute , to any
extent , the underground waters which may
be found flowing through the subsurface
sand or gravel without fear of legal compll
cations. The stimulating effect of such lega
conditions , combined with the prospect o
profitable returns from well-managed Irriga
tion enterprises , has been remarkable , am
Is well shown by the recent and rather
prominent enterprise of the Spllman Subur
ban Water company of Los Angeles , Cal
of which Mr L. S. Holt Is the secretary am
Mr. George Manuel is the engineer , both o
whom are well known In connection with
Irrigation Interests.
A preliminary report by the latter , nnd a
recent paper by the former , read before the
farmers' Institute of Redlands , Cal. , contain
some very Interesting , as well na valuable
Information in connection with a number o
largo works of the same character , Including
data Indicating what. In accordance will
past experience , may be reasonably expectec
as a yield from water-bearing subsurface
sand and gravel. While underground sup
piles of water for cities and towns In the
eastern portion1 of the United States have
not yet proved to be as successful as couli
be desired , it appears to be very clearly
established that the narrow undergroum
outlets from some of the canyons of the
mountain ranges , of the west , as well as
other similar subsurface conformations o
sand and gravel , afford opportunities of In
tercepting very largo supplies of percolating
waters , having their origin In the melting
snows of higher levels , and which are thus
of an apparently permanent nature , on
which rellanca may be placed for all time
It is a field of engineering work in whlcl
many successful results on a largo scale
have already been obtained , and although
there have been some disappointments , am
perhaps even failures , enough has been suc
cessfully done to show that Irrigation en
gineers may yet expect large developments
in this line cf their work.

Cntft Continued.
It Is n curious and Inexplicable fact that
little or nothing has appeared In print dur
ing the past twelve jears about the great
eruption of Krakatoa , Nearly every perton
In America , sajs Current Literature , will
recall the famous jellow day In August , 1SS3 ,
when the sky of this whole continent was
covered with a smoky vapor , through which
the sun shone llko a large ball of red lire
The phenomenon was at the time ml under-
stood. Later It was attributed to the terrific
upheavals of the Island of Java , whence re
ports came by slow degrees of the sudden
activity of an extinct crater , which In May
began belching forth a continued mass of
flre and smoke and molten stone. On the
12th of August , the eruption culminated In
a series of explosions. The earth was rent
In places , Islands were sunk beneath the sea ,
and new ones brought Into being , hum-in be
ings lost their lives by thousands and hun
dreds of thousands , and one of the greatest
physical catastrophes of modern times then
took place. It has been generally accepted
since that the hazy atmosphere which cov
ered our continent came from the endless
outpouring of smoke and ashes which pre
ceded this final outbreak Some Idea of the
magnitude of the occurrence can bo gained
from the fact that the center of the disturb
ance was thousands of miles distant from our
eastern shores , that at the * cone Itsfflf the
sky was literally as black ns night at noon
time , and that the explosions which ended the
great catastrophe were said to have been
distinctly hcird In countries which were
thousands of miles distant. The event was
certainly a phenomenal one. Yet In the
twelve jeari tint have since elapsed no
general mention has been made of the occur
rence , and an article which oppeirs In the
April number of the Cosmopolitan by Joan
T Van Gestel , claims to be the first account
written by an eye-witness of the occurrence
Mr. Van Gestel Is a surveyor , of Dutch birth ,
who had been sent to Java by the Dutch
government. He was present at the time of
the eruption , and gives a graphic description
of Its terrors. The trouble began on the
I3th of May , when the whole of Java ,
Sumatra and Borneo were convulsed , and
continued to the middle of August. The
noise at and near the scene of action he de
scribes as continuous and appalling. The
sky was filled with smoke and cinders , and
from the center of an Island , some eight or
ten miles long , there was a column of flre
shooting straight up Into the sky. There was
a constant rain of pumice stone , while rivers
of molten sulphur ran down the slopes , while
every living being that had dwelt upon the
Island had apparently been consumed , and
the trees were gradually being burled be
neath the pumice Mr. Van Gestel disem
barked on this Island and ventured to ex
plore It , but was driven back by the heat.
He remained In that region , however , until
the final catastrophe , which he describes as
an eve-wltness. He was then al Anjer , was
sitting overlooking the bay. As he looked
at the small boats he saw that they were all
moving In one direction , and In nn Instant
had all disappeared. "I ran out of the
house , " he sajs , "back , up higher , to where
I could command a better view , and looked
out far onto the sea. Instantly a great glare
of flre right In the midst of the water caught
my eyes , and all the way across the bay and
the strait , and In a straight line of flame to
the very Island of Krakatoa Itself , the bet
tom of the sea seemed to have cracked open ,
so that the subterranean fires were belching
forth. On either side of this wall of flames ,
down Into this subaqueous chasm , the waters
of the strait were pouring with a tremendous
hissing sound. It teemed at every moment
a& If the flames would be extinguished , but
they were not. There- were twin cataracts ,
and between the two cataracts rose a great
crackling wall of flre hemmed In by clouds
of steam of the same cottony appearance
which I have spoken of before. It was In
this abjss that the fishing boats were dis
appearing even as I looked , whirling down
the hissing precipice , the roar of which was
already calling out excited crowds In the
city of Anjer at my feet.
"The sight was such an extraordinary one
that It took awny the power of reason. With
out attempting In any way to explain to my
self what It was , I turned and beckoned to
some one , any human being to a servant , we
will say to come and see It. Then , In a
moment , while my eyes were turned , came an
Immense deafening explosion , greater than
any we had heard , as yet , proceeding from
Krakatoa. It stunned me and It was a
minute or two before I reall eJ , when once
more I turned my eyes toward the bay , that
I could see nothing. Darkness had instantly
shrouded the world. Through this darkness ,
which was punctuated by distant cries and
groans , the falling of heavy bodies and the
creaking disruption of masses of brick and
timber most of all , the roaring and crashing
of breakers on the ocean were audible
The city of Anjer , with all its 60,000 people
in and about it , had been blotted out. If
any living being , save mjself , remained I did
not find It out then. One of those deafening
explcslons followed another , as some new
submerged area was suddenly heaved up by
the volcanic flro below , and the sea admitted
to the hollow depths where that flre had
raged In vain for centuries.
"The awful surge of the maddened ocean as
It rushed landward terrified me. I feared I
would be engulfed. Mechanically I ran back
up the mountain side. My subsequent ob
servations convinced me that at the first ex
plosion the ocean had burst a new crater
under Krakatoa. At the second explosion
the big Island , Dwers In-de-Wcg , had been
split In two , so that a great strait separated
what were the two halves. The Island of
Legundl , northwest of Krakatoa , disappeared
at the same .time ; and all the west coastof
Java , for fifteen or twenty in lias , was
wrenched loose. Many new Islands were
formed In that throe , which afterward dis
appeared. A map , which I made not long
afterward , shows the change of the con
figuration of that part cf the world.
"I waded on inland in a dazed condition ,
which Eeemed to last for hours. The high
road from Anjer to Serang was white and
smooth , and easy to follow ; and I felt my
way along It In the darkness
I reached the city of Serang about 4 or 5
oVlcck In the afternoon , after having made
ono stop at a house on the way. This resi
dence loomed up on the sldo of the road ,
offering me , apparently , a welcome refuge.
I rushed In thinking to find relief from ,
the Intense heat under the shelter of Its
roof , but through the tiles of the flooring
little blue flames were flickering as I en
tered , and the house Itself Eeemed like a
furnace. The subterranean fires were at
work even then , on the side of the moun
tain Under the mass of flooring , or masonry ,
I could not distinguish which , I taw the
body of a woman In native garments. I
rushed out horrified from the burning tomb
It was the residence , I learned afterward , of
Controller Frankcl , an officer of the govern-
mc-p , ranking Immediately after the governor

A Stirring Story of Adventure of the Southern Sea.
By round of well wishes,
The daily Straits Times on the desk before me contained a vivid word picture of the "Capture of the British steamer Namoa, by 300 Chinese pirates, the guns of Hong Kong almost within sight, and the year of our Lord, 1895, but still drawing to a close." The report seemed incredible,
I pushed the paper across the table to the grizzled old captain of the Hunker Hill and continued my examination of the accounts of a half dozen sailors of whom he was intent on getting rid of. By the time I had signed the last discharge and affixed the consular seal, he had finished the article and put it aside with a contemptuous "blame it," expressive of his opinion of the valor of the crew and officers. I could see that he was anxious for me to give him my attention while he related one of those long drawn out stories of perhaps a like personal experience. I knew the symptoms and took occasion to escape, if business or inclination undo me, forego the pleasure. Today I was in a light mood to humor him.
There is always something decidedly refreshing in a sailor's yarn. I have listened to hundreds in the course of my consular career, and have yet to hear one that is duller or prosier. They all bear the imprint of truth, perhaps a trifle overdrawn, but never the least sparkling with the salt of the sea and redolent with the romance of distant people and lands. In listening, one becomes almost dizzy at the rapidity with which the scene and personnel change. The icebergs and the aurora borealis of the Arctic give place to the tepid waters and the southern cross of the South Pacific. A volcanic island, an Arabian desert, a tropical jungle, and the breadth and width of the ocean serve as the theater, while a Yankee islander, an Eskimo, and a turbaned Arab are the actors in a half hour's tale. In interest they rival Verne, Kingston, or Marryat. All they lack is skilled hands to dress them in proper language.
THE CAPTAIN'S YARN
The captain helped himself to one of my Manilas and commenced,
"I've got nothing to say about the fate of the poor fellows on the Namoa, seeing the captain was killed at the first fire, but it looks to me like a case of carelessness which was almost criminal. The idea of allowing 300 Chinese to come aboard as passengers without searching them for arms. Why! It is an open bid to pirates. Goes to show pretty plain that these seas are not cleared of pirates. Sailing ships nowadays think they can go anywhere without a pound of powder or an old cutlass aboard just because there is an English or Dutch man-of-war within a hundred miles. I don't know what we'd have done when I first traded among these islands without a good brass swivel and a stock of percussion cap muskets.
"Let me see, it was in '58, I was a cabin boy on the brig 'Danger.' Captain Howe, a hale old fellow from Maine, had his two little boys aboard. They are merchants now in Boston. On the 'Ellira' I've been sailing for them ever since. We were trading along the coast of Borneo. Those were great days for trading in spite of the pirates. That was long before iron steamers sent our good oaken ships to rot in the deck yards of Maine. Why, in those days you could see a half dozen of our snug little crafts in any port of the world, and I've seen more American flags in this very harbor of Singapore than of any other nation. We had come into Singapore with a shipload of ice, (no scientific ice factories then), and had gone along the coast of Java and Borneo to load with coffee, rubber, and spices for a return voyage. We were just off Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, and about loaded, when the captain heard that gold had been discovered somewhere up near the head of the Rejang. The captain was an adventurous old salt and decided to test the truth of the story, so taking the long boat and ten men, he pulled up the Sarawak river to Kuching and got permission of Rajah Brooke to go up the Rejang on a hunting expedition. The rajah was courteous but tried to dissuade us from the undertaking by relating that several bands of Dyaks had been out on head-hunting expeditions of late, and that the mouth of the Rejang was infested by Iluanum pirates. The captain only laughed, and jokingly told Sir James that if the game proved scarce he might come back and claim the prize money on a boatload of pirate heads.
"We started at once, for the captain let me go, and rowed some sixty miles along the coast to the mouth of the Rejang. Then for four days we pulled up its snake-like course. It was my first bit of adventure, and everything was strange and new. The river's course was like a great tunnel into the dense black jungle. On each side and above, we were completely walled in by an impénétrable growth of great tropical trees and the iron-like vines of the rubber. The sun for a few hours each day came in broken shafts down through the foliage and exposed the black back of a crocodile on the green sides of an iguana. Troops of monkeys swung and chattered in the branches above and at intervals a grove of coconuts broke the monotony of the scenery. Among them we would land and rest for the day or night of their juicy fruit and go on short excursions for game. A roasted monkey, some baked yams, and a delicious rice curry made up a royal bill of fare and as the odor of our tobacco mixed with the breathing perfumes of the jungle, I would fall asleep listening to sea yarns that sometimes ran back to the war of 1612.
"At the end of the fifth day we arrived at the head of the Rejang. Here the river broke up into a dozen small streams and a swamp. A stockade had been erected and the rajah had stationed a small company of native soldiers under an English officer to keep the head-hunting Dyaks in check. I don't remember what our captain found out in regard to the gold fields, at least, I was not encouraging, for he gave up the search and joined the English lieutenant in a grand deer hunt that lasted for five days, and then started back, accompanied by two native soldiers bearing dispatches to the rajah.
"It was easy running down the river with the current. One man in each end of the boat kept it off roots, sunken logs, and crocodiles, and the rest of us spent the time as best our cramped space allowed. Twice we detected the black ugly face of a Dyak peering from out the jungle. The men were either hunting them down for the price on their heads, or hoping to trade with them, but the captain said that he never killed a human being except in self-defense, and that if the rajah wanted to get rid of the savages he had better give the contract to a Mississippi slave trader. Secretly, I was longing for some kind of excitement, and hoped that the men's clamorous talk would have some effect. I never doubted our ability to raid a Dyak village and kill the head-hunters and carry off the beautiful maidens. I could not see why a parcel of blacks should be such a terror to the good rajah when Big Tom said he could easily handle a dozen and flattered me by saying that such a brawny lad as I ought to take care of two at least.
In the course of three days, we reached the mouth of the river and prepared the sail for the trip across the bay to the Dingor Islands. Just as everything was in readiness, one of those peculiar and rapid changes in the weather took place, that are so common here in the tropics, near the equator. A great blue, black cloud, looking like an immense curlidge, came up from the west. Through it played vivid flashes of lightning and around it was a red haze. "A nasty animal," I heard the Bosun tell the captain, and yet I was thoroughly delighted when they decided to risk a blow and put to sea. The sky on all sides grew darker from hour to hour. A smell of sulphur came to our nostrils. It was oppressively hot, not a breath of wind was stirring. The sail flapped uselessly against the mast and the men labored at the oars while streams of sweat ran from their bodies.
"The captain had just taken down the mast when, without a moment's warning, the gale struck us and the boat half filled with water. We arranged to head into the wind and were soon driving with the rapidity of a cannonball over the boiling and surging waters. It was a fearful gale; we blew for hours before it, sometimes in danger of a volcanic reef, again almost sunken by a giant wave. I bailed until I was completely exhausted, but the long boat was a staunch little craft and there were plenty of men to manage it, so as long as we could keep her before the wind, the captain felt no great anxiety as to our safety."
"At about six bells in the afternoon, the wind fell away and the rain came down in torrents, leaving us to pitch about on the rapidly decreasing waves, wet to the skin and unequal to another effort. We were within a mile of a rocky island that rose like a half-ruined castle from the ocean. The Dyak soldiers called it Satang Island, and I have sailed past it many a time since without waiting for the word, we rowed to it, and around it before we found a suitable beach on which to land. One end of the island rose perpendicular and sheer above the beach a hundred feet and ended in a barren plateau of some two dozen acres. The remainder comprised some hundred acres of sand and rocks on which were half a dozen coconut trees and a few yams. Along the beach, we found a large number of turtle eggs.
"The captain, remembering the rajah's caution in regard to pirates, decided not to make a light, but we were wet and hungry and overcame his scruples, and soon had a huge fire and a savory repast of coffee, turtles' eggs, and yams. At midnight, it was extinguished and a watch was stationed on top of the plateau; toward morning, I clambered grumbling up the narrow, almost perpendicular sides of the rift that cut into the rocky watchtower. I did not believe in pirates and was willing to take my chances in sleep. I paced back and forth inhaling deep breaths of the rich tropical air; below me the waves beat in ripples against the rugged beach, casting off from time to time little flashes of phosphorescent light and mirroring in their depths the hardly distinguishable outline of the southern cross. The salt smell of the sea was tinged with the spice-laden air of the near coast. Drowsiness came over me, I picked up a musket and paced around the little plateau. The moon had just reached its zenith making all objects easily discernible. The smooth storm-swept space before me reflected back its rays like a well-scrubbed quarter deck; below were the dark outlines of my sleeping mates. I could hear the light wind rustling through the branches of the Casuarina trees that fringed the shore. I paused and looked out over the sea. Like a charge of electricity, a curious sensation of fear shot through me. Then an intimation that some object had flashed between me and the moon. I rubbed my eyes and gazed into the air above, expecting to see a night bird or a bat. Then the same peculiar sensation came over me again and I looked down into the water below just in time to see the long keen knife-like outline of a pirate prahu glide as noiselessly as a shadow from a passing cloud into the gloom of the island. Its great, wide spreading dark-red sails were set full to the wind and hanging over its side by ropes, were a dozen naked Illanungs guiding the sensitive craft like a thing of life. Within the prahu were two dozen fighting men, armed with their alligator hide buckler, long steel-tipped spear, and ugly snake-like kris. A third prahu followed in the wake of the others and all three were lost in the blackness of the overhanging cliffs.
"With as little noise as possible, I ran across the plain and warned my companion, then picked my way silently down the defile to the camp. The captain responded to my touch, and was up in an instant. The men were awakened and the news whispered from one to another. Gathering up what food and utensils we possessed, we hurried to get on top of the plateau before our exact whereabouts became known. The captain hoped that when they discovered we were well fortified and there were no wrecks to pillage, they would withdraw without giving battle. They had landed on the opposite side of the island from our boat and might leave it undisturbed. We felt reasonably safe in our fortress from attacks. There were but two breaks in its precipitous sides, each a narrow defile filled with loose boulders that could easily be detached and sent thundering down on an assailant's head. On the other hand, our shortness of food and water made us singularly weak in case of a siege. But we hoped for the best, two men were posted at each defile, and as nothing was heard for an hour, most of us dropped asleep.
"It was just at dawn when we were awakened by the report of two muskets and the terrific crashing of a great boulder followed by groans and yells. With one accord, we rushed to the head of the canyon. The Illanungs, naked with the exception of parti-colored sarongs around their waists, with their bucklers on their left arms and their gleaming knives, trapped to their right wrists, were mounting each other's shoulders, forcing a way up the precipitous defile unmindful of the madly descending rocks that had crushed and maimed more than one of their number. They were fine, powerful fellows, with a reddish brown skin that gleamed like polished ebony. Their hair was shorn close to their heads; they had high cheekbones, flat noses, and slanting eyes, and blood-stained teeth, in their movements they were as lithe and supple as a tiger and commanded our admiration while they made us shudder. We knew that they neither gave nor took quarter, and for years had terrorized the entire Bornean coast.
"We were ready to fire but a gesture from the captain restrained us; our ammunition was low and he wished to save it until we actually needed it. By our united efforts, we pried off two of the volcanic rocks, which, with a great leap, disappeared into the darkness below, sometimes appearing for an instant before rushing to the sea. Every time an Illanung fell, we gave a hearty American cheer, which was answered by savage jeers. Still, they fought on and up making little headway. We were gradually relaxing our efforts, thinking that they were sick of the affair, when the report of a musket from the opposite side of the island called our attention to the 'Bosun,' who had been detailed to guard the other defile.
The boatswain and one native soldier were fighting hand to hand with a dozen pirates who were forcing their way up the edge of the cliff. Half of the men dashed to their relief just in time to see the soldier go over the precipice locked in the arms of a giant Ilanum. One volley from our muskets settled the hopes of the invaders. Our little party was divided and we were outnumbered ten to one. One of the sailors, in dislodging a boulder, lost his footing and went crashing down with it, amid the derisive yells of the pirates. Suddenly, the conflict ceased and the pirates withdrew. In a short time, we could see them building a number of small fires along the beach and the aroma of rice curry came up to us with the breeze. The captain, I could see, was anxious, although my boyish feelings did not go beyond a sense of intoxicating excitement. I heard him say that nothing but a storm or a ship could save us in case we were besieged; that it was better to have the fight out at once, and die with our arms in our hands than starve to death.
Giving us each a small portion of ship biscuit and a taste of water, he enjoined upon each a careful watchfulness and a provident use of our small stock of provisions.
I took mine in my hand and walked out on the edge of the cliff somewhat sobered. Directly below me were the pirates and at my feet I noticed a fragment of rock that I thought I could loosen. Putting down my food, I foolishly picked up a piece of timber which I used as a lever, when, without warning, the mass broke away and with a tremendous bound went crashing down into the very midst of the pirates, scattering them in all directions and ending by crushing one of the prahus that was drawn up on the sand.
In an instant the quiet beach was a scene of the wildest confusion. A surging, crowding mass of pirates with their spears between their teeth, dashed up the canyon intent on avenging their loss. I dropped my lever and rushed back to the men, nearly frightened to death, at the result of my temerity. There was no time for boulders, the men reached the brink of the defile just in time to welcome the assailants with a broadside. Their lines wavered, but fresh men took the places of the fallen, and they pushed on. Another volley from our guns and the dead and wounded encumbered the progress of the living. A shower of stones and timbers gave us the rest and they withdrew with savage yells to once more open the siege. Only one of our men had been wounded. He by an arrow from a blowpipe.
All that night we kept watch. The next morning we were once more attacked, but successfully defended ourselves with boulders and our cutlasses. Yet one swarthy pirate succeeded in catching the leg of the remaining native soldier and bearing him away with them. With the cessation of hostilities, we searched the top of the island for food and water. At one side of the tableland there was a break in its surface and a beach of some dozen acres lay perhaps twenty feet below our retreat. We cautiously worked our way down to this portion and there to our delight found a number of fan-shaped travelers, palms, and monkey cups full of sweet water, which, with two wild sago palms, we calculated would keep us alive a few days at all events.
We were much encouraged at this discovery and that night collected a lot of brush from the lower plain and lit a big fire on the most exposed part of the rocks. We did not care if it brought a thousand more pirates as long as it attracted the attention of a passing ship. Two good nine-pounders would see off our foes in all directions. We relieved each other in watching during the night, and by sunrise we were all completely worn out.
The third day was one of weariness and thirst under the burning rays of the tropical sun. That day we ate the last of our ship biscuit and were reduced to a few drops of water each. Starvation was looking us in the face. There was but one alternative, and that was to descend and make a fight for our boat on the beach. The boatswain volunteered, with three men, to descend the defile and reconnoiter. Armed only with their cutlasses and a short ax, they worked their way carefully down in the shadow of the rocks, while we kept watch above.
All was quiet for a time, then there arose a tumult of cries, oaths, and yells. The captain gave the order and pell-mell down the rift we clambered, some dropping their muskets in their hurried descent, one exploding in its fall. The boatswain had found the beach and our boat guarded by six pirates who were asleep, four of whom they succeeded in throttling. We pushed our boat into the surf, expecting every moment to see one of the prahus glide around the two inlets. We could plainly hear their cries and yells as they discovered our escape, and with a cheer our long boat shot out into the black ocean, sending up a shower of phosphorescent bubbles. We bent our backs to the oars as only a question of life or death can make one. With each stroke the boat seemed almost to lift itself out of the water. Almost at the same time a long, dark line, filled with moving objects, dashed out from the shadow of the cliffs hardly 100 yards away.
It was a glorious race over the dim waters of that tropical sea. As a boy, I could not realize what capture meant at the hands of our cruel pursuers. My heart beat high and I felt equal to a dozen Illanums. My thoughts traveled back to New England in the midst of the excitement. I saw myself before the open arch fire in a low-roofed old house, that for a century had withstood the fiercest gales on the old Maine coast, and from whose doors had gone forth three generations of sea captains. I saw myself on a winter night relating this very adventure to an old gray-haired, bronzed-faced father and a mother whose parting kiss still lingered on my lips, to my youngest brother and sister. I could feel their undisguised admiration as I told of my fight with pirates in the Borneo sea. It is wonderful how the mind will travel. Yet with my thoughts in Maine, I saw and felt that the Illanums were gradually gaining on us. Our men were weary and feeble from two days fasting while the pirates were strong and thirsting; for our blood.
"The captain kept glancing first at the enemy and then at the musket that lay near him. He longed to use it, but not a man could be spared from the oars. Hand over hand they gained on us. Turning his eyes on me, seated in the bow, the captain said while he bent his sinewy back to the oar, "Jack, are you a good shot?" I stammered and answered, "I can try, sir." "Very well," he said, "get the musket there in the bow. It is loaded. Take good aim and shoot that big fellow in the stern. If you hit him, I'll make you a master of a ship some day." Tremblingly, I raised the heavy musket as the boat was unsteady. I hardly expected to hit the chief, but aimed low, hoping to hit one of the rowers at least. I aimed, aimed my eyes and fired. With the report of the musket, the tail leader sprang into the air and then fell headfirst amid his rowers. I could just detect the gleams of the moonlight on the jeweled handle of his sword as he fell into the waters. I had hit a man. The sailors sent up a hearty American cheer and a tiger, as they saw the prahu come to a standstill. Our boat sprang away into the darkness. We did not cease rowing until dawn; then we lay back on our oars and stretched our tired backs and arms. I had taken my place at the oar during the night.
"Away out on the northern horizon we saw a black speck; on the southern horizon another. The captain's glass revealed one to be the pirate's prahu with all sails set, for a wind had come up with the dawn. The other we welcomed with a cheer, for it was the 'Danger.' Enfeebled and nearly famishing, we headed toward it and rowed for life. How we regretted having left our sails on the Island. The prahu had sighted us and was bearing down in full pursuit; within us could distinguish its wide-spread, rakish sails almost touching the water as it sped on. Then we made out the naked arms of the Illanums hanging to the ropes, far out over the water, and then we could hear their blood-curdling yell. It was too late, their yell was one of balanced rage. It was answered by the deep bass tones of the swivel on board the 'Bangor' sending a ball skimming along over the waters which, although it went wide of its mark, caused the natives on the ropes to throw themselves bodily across the prahu, taking the great sail with them.
"In another instant the red sail, the long keen black shell, the naked forms of the fierce Illanums were mixed in one indistinguishable blot on the distant horizon."
A preliminary report by the latter, and a recent paper by the former, read before the farmers' Institute of Redlands, Cal., contain some very interesting, as well as valuable information in connection with a number of large works of the same character, including data indicating what, in accordance with past experience, may be reasonably expected as a yield from water-bearing subsurface sand and gravel. While underground supplies of water for cities and towns in the eastern portion of the United States have not yet proved to be as successful as could be desired, it appears to be very clearly established that the narrow underground outlets from some of the canyons of the mountain ranges of the west, as well as other similar subsurface conformations of sand and gravel, afford opportunities of intercepting very large supplies of percolating waters, having their origin in the melting snows of higher levels, and which are thus of an apparently permanent nature, on which reliance may be placed for all time. It is a field of engineering work in which many successful results on a large scale have already been obtained, and although there have been some disappointments, and perhaps even failures, enough has been successfully done to show that irrigation engineers may yet expect large developments in this line of their work.

Pittsburgh Chronicle: "How much does the government allow me?" said a citizen to the Income tax collector.
"Four thousand dollars," replied the official.
"Here is a statement of my income," then he handed a paper to Uncle Sam's representative, who looked at it and then observed, with some warmth of feeling: "You have no occasion to file this. It shows an income of only $1,200. You don't need to file a statement unless your income is $3,500 or more."
"Don't you say the law allowed me $1,000?" "Yes."
"Well, my income was $1,200 and I filed the statement so that the government can give me the difference, which I figure out to be $12,800. When do I get it?"
After much expostulation, the citizen was finally led out into the cool spring air.

JAVA'S 'MIGHTY UPHEAVAL
A stupendous catastrophe described by a visiting engineer,
ORIGIN OF THE SMOKY VAPOR OF '83
A volcanic eruption unrivalled in our time
HIM! Destructive forces to the Earth
locked! House! tumbled down
Catastrophe Continued.
It is a curious and inexplicable fact that little or nothing has appeared in print during the past twelve years about the great eruption of Krakatoa. Nearly every person in America, says Current Literature, will recall the famous yellow day in August 1883, when the sky of this whole continent was covered with a smoky vapor, through which the sun shone like a large ball of red fire. The phenomenon was at the time only partially understood. Later it was attributed to the terrific upheavals of the Island of Java, whence reports came by slow degrees of the sudden activity of an extinct crater, which in May began belching forth a continuous mass of fire and smoke and molten stone. On the 12th of August, the eruption culminated in a series of explosions. The earth was rent in places, islands were sunk beneath the sea, and new ones brought into being, human beings lost their lives by thousands and hundreds of thousands, and one of the greatest physical catastrophes of modern times then took place. It has been generally accepted since that the hazy atmosphere which covered our continent came from the endless outpouring of smoke and ashes which preceded this final outbreak. Some idea of the magnitude of the occurrence can be gained from the fact that the center of the disturbance was thousands of miles distant from our eastern shores, that at the height of the action the sky was literally as black as night at noon time, and that the explosions which ended the great catastrophe were said to have been distinctly heard in countries which were thousands of miles distant. The event was certainly a phenomenal one. Yet in the twelve years that have since elapsed no general mention has been made of the occurrence, and an article which appears in the April number of the Cosmopolitan by John T. Van Gestel, claims to be the first account written by an eye-witness of the occurrence. Mr. Van Gestel is a surveyor, of Dutch birth, who had been sent to Java by the Dutch government. He was present at the time of the eruption, and gives a graphic description of its terrors. The trouble began on the 13th of May, when the whole of Java, Sumatra and Borneo were convulsed, and continued to the middle of August. The noise at and near the scene of action he describes as continuous and appalling. The sky was filled with smoke and cinders, and from the center of an island, some eight or ten miles long, there was a column of fire shooting straight up into the sky. There was a constant rain of pumice stone, while rivers of molten sulphur ran down the slopes, while every living being that had dwelt upon the island had apparently been consumed, and the trees were gradually being buried beneath the pumice. Mr. Van Gestel disembarked on this island and ventured to explore it, but was driven back by the heat. He remained in that region, however, until the final catastrophe, which he describes as an eye-witness. He was then at Anjer, was sitting overlooking the bay. As he looked at the small boats he saw that they were all moving in one direction, and in an instant had all disappeared. "I ran out of the house," he says, "back, up higher, to where I could command a better view, and looked out far onto the sea. Instantly a great glare of fire right in the midst of the water caught my eyes, and all the way across the bay and the strait, and in a straight line of flame to the very island of Krakatoa itself, the bottom of the sea seemed to have cracked open, so that the subterranean fires were belching forth. On either side of this wall of flames, down into this subaqueous chasm, the waters of the strait were pouring with a tremendous hissing sound. It seemed at every moment as if the flames would be extinguished, but they were not. There were twin cataracts, and between the two cataracts rose a great crackling wall of fire hemmed in by clouds of steam of the same cottony appearance which I have spoken of before. It was in this abyss that the fishing boats were disappearing even as I looked, whirling down the hissing precipice, the roar of which was already calling out excited crowds in the city of Anjer at my feet.
The sight was such an extraordinary one that it took away the power of reason. Without attempting in any way to explain to myself what it was, I turned and beckoned to someone, any human being to a servant, we will say to come and see it. Then, in a moment, while my eyes were turned, came an immense deafening explosion, greater than any we had heard, as yet, proceeding from Krakatoa. It stunned me and it was a minute or two before I realized, when once more I turned my eyes toward the bay, that I could see nothing. Darkness had instantly shrouded the world. Through this darkness, which was punctuated by distant cries and groans, the falling of heavy bodies and the creaking disruption of masses of brick and timber most of all, the roaring and crashing of breakers on the ocean were audible.
The city of Anjer, with all its 60,000 people in and about it, had been blotted out. If any living being, save myself, remained I did not find it out then. One of those deafening explosions followed another, as some new submerged area was suddenly heaved up by the volcanic fire below, and the sea admitted to the hollow depths where that fire had raged in vain for centuries.
"The awful surge of the maddened ocean as it rushed landward terrified me. I feared I would be engulfed. Mechanically I ran back up the mountain side. My subsequent observations convinced me that at the first explosion the ocean had burst a new crater under Krakatoa. At the second explosion the big island, Sunda in Indonesia, had been split in two, so that a great strait separated what were the two halves. The island of Lembata, northwest of Krakatoa, disappeared at the same time; and all the west coast of Java, for fifteen or twenty miles, was wrenched loose. Many new islands were formed in that three, which afterward disappeared. A map, which I made not long afterward, shows the change of the configuration of that part of the world.
"I waded on inland in a dazed condition, which seemed to last for hours. The high road from Anjer to Serang was white and smooth, and easy to follow; and I felt my way along it in the darkness. I reached the city of Serang about 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon, after having made one stop at a house on the way. This residence loomed up on the side of the road, offering me, apparently, a welcome refuge. I rushed in thinking to find relief from the intense heat under the shelter of its roof, but through the tiles of the flooring little blue flames were flickering as I entered, and the house itself seemed like a furnace. The subterranean fires were at work even then, on the side of the mountain. Under the mass of flooring, or masonry, I could not distinguish which, I saw the body of a woman in native garments. I rushed out horrified from the burning tomb. It was the residence, I learned afterward, of Controller Frankel, an officer of the government, ranking immediately after the governor himself.
"I staggered blindly on my way. When I reached Serang I was taken into the garrison and nursed for two days. I was supposed to be a lunatic. I started up in my sleep a half dozen times the first night, uttering cries of terror. I was soothed by drugs, and enabled on the third day to go to Batavia.
"On Krakatoa Point, where the government had been blasting rock, were an engine and several boilers, used for compressed air. All of these, containing compressed air, had been hurled against the walls of the quarry, and absolutely flattened out like sheets of paper. In Lombok, on the southeast coast of Sumatra, a man-of-war, belonging to the Dutch government, and two barks, of 200 or 300 tons each, one of them loaded with salt, had been thrown 150 feet up the mountain side into the trees by the tidal wave which immediately followed the explosion.
"My investigations showed that there was 100 feet of water where the city of Anjer had been, so short a distance from my villa, and that the coast line was just one and one-half miles further inland."
The author's escape was a narrow and a miraculous one, but still more astonishing is the silence he and others have kept regarding the event. With the exception of a fugitive article in Nature, a few years ago, we have barely seen mention of the event. Charles MacDonald, a prominent Chicago Business Man, is restored to health.
Within a few steps of the intersection of two of the busiest thoroughfares in Chicago, it is not in the entire country, is a store through the portals of which more people pass in the course of a day than enter into and depart from any other establishment of its size in the west. Men and women whose faces bear the stamp of intelligence and culture, women who lead in society, art, and letters, men who are prominent in the professions; lawyers, physicians, artists, Judges, and Journalists. The exterior of the place gives immediate evidence of its character, which is that of a center of current news and information. It is the news and periodical depot of Charles MacDonald at 525 Washington Street, who writes the following letter:
CHICAGO, Feb. 20, 1895 Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co., Burlington, Vt. Gentlemen: It is clearly the duty of every person to acknowledge a service rendered, no matter what its nature. Men, however, the character of the benefit bestowed is such that it lightens the daily burdens of our lives and changes our nights from dreary watches to periods of tranquil and refreshing repose, the duty resolves itself into a pleasure. A few months ago, owing to the confining nature of my business, I began to feel at first a sort of languor and listlessness, to disguise which I was compelled to bring into play all the strength of will I could command. The feeling grew upon me, however, and in a short time it took such possession of me that it affected my appetite and caused insomnia. I approached my meals with a feeling amounting almost to nausea and my bed with horror at the restless night that I was nearly certain was before me. It was only by the strongest efforts that I was enabled to hide the change from people who came into my place of business, but my concern...
Intimate acquaintances were quicker to notice it. I had arrived at a point where I could no longer keep silent upon the subject, and speaking of it to one of my friends one day, he suggested that I try Palne's celery compound. I purchased a bottle, and before I had taken a dozen doses I knew that the suggestion was a good one, for I felt an improvement. I continued to use it, and felt entirely restored. My appetite is good, I sleep well, and instead of an irksome grind, my business has again become a pleasure to me. You may put me down as a strong advocate of Palne's celery compound.

( Copyrlfrhted , 1805 , by Press Publishing Company )
LONDON , May 4. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) England's
policy of absolute non-intervention In re-
epect to the Japan-China treaty Is now being
established with the approval of all parties
here. Political speculation concerns Itself
with what England will do It there Is a
coalition of Russia , Germany and France , or
If Russia alone should attempt to resist the
ftreaty by force. I have attempted to se
cure the views ot the leaders of both parties
on this point , but without exception they de
cline to cxprets any opinion for publication.
The Issue Is , of course , very delicate and
newspapers have not even referred to It ,
because of on obvious fear of the Interna
tional complications. The greatest Importance
has been given during the last winter to the
establishment of a good feeling between Rus-
Ela and England. Through the Influence of
the prince of Wales with the new czar , his
nephew by marriage , and the popularity of
the prince this received from It an Impetus
never before equalled from any cause. Its
first result was an umlcible arrangement
of the Pamir frontier question , which had
dragged for years nnd had twice nearly
plunged the two nations Into war.
ENGLAND WILL NOT FIGHT.
There Is a strong disposition on the part
of England , therefore , to do nothing to In
terrupt this present friendship , and while
recognizing that England's commorchl Inter
ests and present policy would lead her to do
anything possible for Japan , the leaders of
both parties In private conversation say It
Is most Improbable tint England would go to
the length of assisting Japan In a war with
Hussla.
To avert the necessity of this crisis all
the efforts of the English foreign office are
now directed to bring about a peaceable set
tlement of the points at Issue The bellicose
utterances of the Russian press , which have
almost olllclal authority , In view of tha fact
that every published line must be approved
by the olllclal censor , Is accepted as showing
the existence of the gravest situation. The
words of Sir Charles Dllke to your corre
spondent , that the relations between Japan
nnd Russia could not b : more strained short
of actual war , exactly expresses the feeling
among the responsible leaders of both par
ties In England.
BASIER-DEI'UY FEUD.
Headers ot the World will remember the
extraordinary statement made to Us corre
spondent last January by prominent French
politicians , charging Premier Dupuy with
having dogged Caslmlr Perler with police
spies and boldly accusing him of starting
all the scandalous stories then current about
the president. At the time It was said that
the ex-president meant to publish a book
giving the secret history of his brief stay at
the Elysce and the reasons of his resigna
tion. Asked recently as to the truth of the
report , Caslmlr-Pcrler made the rather start
ling , but enigmatical statement that "His
private documents and memoranda had been
stolen from him and photographed , and that
though subsequently replaced , the Infonna-
tlon contained therln could no longer be re
garded as his exclusive property. If the
person or persons who might have in
benefited by this temporary theft were to
make the disclosures , ho himself could no
longer bo considered responsible , and that
should the possible revelations happen to be )
approximately exact , he could hardly be expected
ic10
pected to go out of his way to deny the
truth. "
It will be noticed that theft coincides with
the public appearance * of M. Charles Dupuy
and Is the third round of the Perler-Dupuy
duel about to begin. Round ono was fought
over the presidential election In June , 1S3I ,
when Dupuy came out second best. Round
* two listed as long as Pcrlcr remained at
the Elyseo , when the rivals fell together , It
being Impossible to say who was uppermost
or who had sustained the least damage ,
ANXIOUS FOR WILDE TO LEAVE.
Granting ball to Oscar Wilde means that
the authorities deslro to give him facilities
for clearing out of the country. Otherwise
the crown lawyers would certainly have op
posed his application , In which case no
judge would grant It. The proceeding Is part
ot the policy consistently pursued by the uu-
Jiorltlcs from the beginning. Twenty-four
hours before the collapse of Wilde's suit
against Quoensbcrry , the police notified
Wljdo that they had evidence that would
convict him. Ho declined the hint and
ndn
thought to brazen the matter out. The Instructions
nat
structions to the crown lawyers were that
the Inqulr/ should bo strictly limited to
Wilde and Taylor , and the witnesses TO
prohibited from drawing In any other es
esas
The case was not pressed against Wilde as
It might have been , lest In the desperation ol
hla conviction ho might have denounced
very high placed people who were equally
guilty with him , and whose complicity In
these abominations Is known to the police.
As a nutter ot fact , several ot these Individuals
illhe
viduals took the precaution of leaving the
country w'hen Wlldo was arrested.
I hear on authority that Mrs. Wilde anO
her children did not benefit by the large In-
como Wilde was making from his plays. Shi
had a fortune of about { 2,000 a year whcr
Bhe married , but as It was chiefly In rents
ts.of
her Income had almost dwindled away elate
late years , and while her husband wai
spending money Ireely on his accomplices 01
\icllrts , his wlfo and children werfi olmosi
In want. This fact has been known to hei
friends several months , and It has preventei
'such sympathy as might be felt with the
once favorite playwright In his degradation
BHE'S LIBERAL WITH THC THIRD. TOO )
A well Informed correspondent writes the
World. "The duchess of Marlb rough ind
her husband , Lnrd William Ber aforJ ( sin
retains her higher title ) , are still cnjojlni
their honeymoon at Deepdcenc. and have de
elded to prolong the stay nuch bejoud the
fortnight Intended. They drive out every day
over the estate and Lord William Is taking
over the entire management of his wife's
English property. As mllllary secretary to
the successive viceroys of India , he has had
considerable experience In the arrangement
ot a largo household. Much curiosity exists
as to the question of the settlements ot Lord
William. Between his military pension and
his family allowance , his personal Income Is
about 2,000 a year , and It Is stated that the
duchcsi has settled 10,000 a year on him , se
curing the continuance of the Income should
she pro-decease by a recent life assurance.
She has had a cottage In one of the most
picturesque parts of Norway for the last few-
years , and they have arranged to spend the
greater part of June there. He. who has
had long experience on the turf In India , will
start racing In England nrxt season. He Is
a particularly shrewd Judge of horseflesh , as
well as an excellent horseman , and It Is taken
for granted he will soon make his stable pay
Its way. Though ho Is not a wealthy min
for his class , he bears the hlgheit reputation
for personal Integrity and his Intimates aver
tint ho did not owe a farthing when ho mar
ried.
VICTORIA AT A FAVORITE GAME.
Another equally well-lnformed person de
clares that the queen was engaged at Windsor
ser yesterday In forwarding one of her pro
jects for the marriage of her many grand
children , In which she has always delighted.
Yesterday the young quejn of Holland visited
her , and It Is an opsn secret that the queen
Is very anxious to arrange a marrOge between
her and the oldest son of the duke of Edin
burgh , now reigning duke of Saxo Coburg ,
who Is just 20. The young queen , although
strictly Incognito on her \lslt her0 , has re
ceived every possible attention from the
various members of the English royal fam
ily. Her marriage will , of course , involve
many International questions. It Is reported
to b ? the desire of the kaiser to arrange
a marriage for her with his eldest son. This
will , If ever seriously entertained , bo almost
certainly frustrated by the Intense feeling In
Holland against any possible union with Ger
many. Besldo being a prospective ruler of a
prosperous and contented kingdom , Wll-
helmlna will come Into a large fortune , In
creased largely during her long minority ,
PEMBROKE'S DEATH MUCH REGRETTED
The death of the earl of Pembroke > es
terday created n piofound sensation , for , nl
though 111 health prevented his prominence
In politics , he was one of the most populir
men In England. He Is cf Interest to Amer
icans because his younger brother Michael
Henry Herbert married tho' daughter of
Richard Wilson of New York. He has no
chance of succession , as another older
brother who now succeeds has two sons
The late earl was over six feet six Inches
In height and his ovcrgiowth In youth was
the cause of his continued 111 health. Some
twenty jears ago he published an account of
a cruise In the Southern Pacific , wiltten
Jointly by himself and Dr Kingsley , a
brother ot the novelist. This book was en
titled "South Sea Bubbles , " and the carl's
humorous approval of the lax morals of the
South Sea Islanders created a sensation and
vvaa severely condemned. The bcok wns
binned in many circulating libraries. Among
other things ho joyously observed that he
would return to Otahcito anil marry one of
the dusky beauties of whoso clmrms he
spoke In glowing terms , but Instead of doing
so , ho shortly afterward surprised every one
by wedding an aunt of the present earl of
Shrewsbury , a lady who Is not a beauty
and had considerable the advantage of him
In years. He never had any chlldien. He
was a handsome man , and his bi other , Sid
ney Herbert , M. P. who succeeds , Is con
sidered the best looking man in the Ilous"
of Commons , and his sister , L/idy de Grey ,
formerly countess of Longdale , Is a famous
beauty. Ills mother , Lady Herbert of Tea
who survives him , has for many years been
a Catholic ai.d Is a great divot c. She lets
her mansion In Dolgrave square every sea
son and devotes the rent to the uses of a
community of nuns , In which she Is Inter
ested. The house has just been taken this
jear by Lord Dunraven.
A large part of the American colony today
are at the opening game of the new base

LONDON , May 4. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram ) A new play by
Mr. Irving Is always an event In London. Ho
created a new anil very fascinating character
tonight In "Don Quixote. " It was only In
ono net , a mere sketch , but the pathetic
phases of character underljlng Cervantes'
satire wore presented with the Incomparatlve
skill of this Incomparable actor. The quality
of simple faith perverted Into Insane exalta
tion was a dangerous experiment upon the
modern stage , but Mr. Irving made his Don
Quixote as pathetic as he made him rldlcti-
lous , and the great audience was almost as
silent and absorbed as a few years ago audl-
enccs sat spellbound under the religious va-
ganes of Jean do Arc , as given by Bern-
hardt. The humorous side of theknight's
vagaries were all but forgotten In the In-
tense earnestness of his delusion. Perhaps
nothing he has done showed more this great
actor's Intellectual force and subtlety , than to
have thus made ridicule forget Itself In almost
affectionate pity. It Is not Mr. Irvlng's ob-
ject , however , to present this as more than
- a bit of outline , or to demand serious crltl-
clsm for It. He coupled It tonight with an-
other sketch of the last few hours of the
life of a Waterloo veteran , the last of his
corps to join the great army bejond.

VIENNA , May 4. The Trcmdenblatte an

resignation Is supposed to have grown out of
the recent utterances of tlio papal nuncio
ngalnst the ecclesiastical bills during a visit
. which he madeto various towns In Hungary.
- Huron Banffy , the Hungirlan prime minister
replying to an Interpellation on the subject
In the lower house of tbo Hungarian Diet on

that the Vatican's Influence In church matters -

BERLIN , May I. The Helchstag proceed
ings have attracted little Interest during the
past week , but they are expected to be greatly
enlivened when the anti-revolution bill comes
before the hou'e. The demonstration tomor
row against the bill by the delegites from
various city councils will be a great affair ,
having gained Importance by reason of the
government's opposition. The government
yesterday received another rebuff In this
question In the adoption by the lower house
of the Wurtemburg Diet of a socialist motion
condemning the anti-revolution bill. Pro
mler Mlttnacht declared the vote on the bill
In the Dunde'rath was not binding , anJ ad
mitted he had grave doubts respecting the
advisability of the measure In the form
given It by the committees. This statement
Is only a sign of the times , as It Is very
evident that throughout Europe , apart fron
Russia , the feeling Is distinctly against the
diastlc character of the anti-revolutionary
bill The government , too , does not help Its
cau e In combating socialism by ridiculous
mistakes , such as Including In the list o
books regarded as subversive to the state
and attached to the anti-revolution bill In
order to show Its necessity the poetlca
works of the patriot , Frellograth , written It :
1S4S , and which are now used In ordinary
school books.
SEVERE SENTENCES TOR IUOTCRS.
The sentences In the Fuechsmuele rlotln
case have caused a great deal of Indignation
and nre being made capital of by the social
1st press , ns showing the contrasts between
the law and natural justice. One hundred
and forty-three men were condemned tc
terms of Imprisonment , varying from four
teen days to four months. The chief suffere
wns Durgomabter Joseph Stock , who receive *
the heaviest sentence and a fine. The se
verity of the punishment Is generally con
damned by the upper classes of newspapera
many of whom urge the prince regent o
liavarla to paidon the offenders. The com
mune of Fuechsmuele Is on the verge o
destitution , as the prisoners form the bul
of the adult population.
The leading event , socially , has been the
opening of the art c\hibltlon by Dr. Uosse ,
the minister of public Instruction , represent
ing the emperor. .There was a very smart
attendance. The American exhibit Is placed
separately In two largo halls and Is uni
versally conceded to outshine the rest , even
the French section being eclipsed. Harrison ,
Gay , Pcarce , Brldgeman , Sergeant , Stewart ,
Weeks , Melchers , Dannet , Macewen and
Holchoven being especially strong among the
Americans. Harrison's Plelnlaru painting
"En Arcadle , " Is said to bo the greatest at
traction of the show. The American section
has received generous praise from the entire
Berlin press. The Vosslsche Zeltung , for In
stance , sajs : Those times are past when
Americans are was sneered at. Who can
deny It ? In the arts and crafts there is the
same resistless energy as In the technlo 1
sciences. Ono feels the presence of the

across the ocean , and which Is ever achiev
ing fresh things. " Among the- sculptors

A portion of the German press commented '
on the warfare on the Standard Oil com
pany , because of Its successful manipulations
In raising the price for petroleum , which has [
risen BO per cent within three months , and
which is now 15 cents a quart at retail. The
Kreuz Zeltung and other papers call upon
|
the government to take steps to prevent such '
usurious proceedings. Yesterday's question '
In the Reichstag was the outcome of this ag
itation , and the result showed that the gov
ernment Is evidently preparing counter
measures.
The government , through the Navy de
partment , following the example of other
powers , has secured by contract the even
tual services of four fast Hamburg-Ameri
can line steamers and six of the fastest
steamers of the North German Lloyd line.
They will each be armed with sixteen guns
of heavy caliber and fourteen quick firing
guns. The btoamers will be used In case of
necessity as dispatch boats and for rccon-
nolterlng work. The first practical test tiof
their availability will bo made during the
great naval maneuvers next autumn , one of
the steamers being hired for 130,000 marks.

The Reichstag yesterday by a large ma-
jorlty agreed to a credit of 1,700,000 marks
to cover the expenses of opening the Baltic
and North sea canal. Dr. von Boettlcher
the Imperial Secretary of the Interior , made
deal
the unexpected announcemnt that the actual
cost of the canal was probably 700,000 marks

the canal. His majesty will present one ol
these medals to each guest.

doubt that China and Japan have both rati
fied the treaty of Shlmonosckl , which com
plicates the position cf the European pro
testing powers. At the request of the Asso
ciated press , Mr. Poultney Blirelow , who has
exceptional means for obtaining political In
formation , especially In Germany , has writ
ten the following. "Russiaa \ the power
that today calls upon Japan to drop the
fruits cf her victory and take orders from
St. Petersburg. Russia orde'rs Japan to give
up her foothold upon China because , forsooth ,
she may disturb that mystical bauble called
balance of power This order Is backed up
by the voice ? of France and Germany. The
voice of France Is weak , not because she
does not love Russia , but because she also
loves Japan and because she hates Germany
more than she loves any country. Germany-
Is sacrificing the friendship of Japan for
reasons strictly political. The emperor of
Germany desires to show gooJw111 for his
eastern neighbor , particularly at the outset
of the present czar's reign. For the post
ten years these relations have been very
much strained , even to the point of Immi
nent war In 1S91. Germany ts now experi
menting with a platonlc alliance between
the czar and the emperor. It cannot last
long , but It Is profoundly conceived. It
tends to weaken French hatred of Germany
nnd to wean that republic from slavish
obedience to Russli's dictation and to Isolate
her still further.
"A large party In Germany hates England
cordially and Is ready to make any sacrifice
for the gratification of this feeling This
hatred springs largely from commercial
rivalry , but still more from the testing that
Get man expansion In Africa has been ham
pered by John Bull. Germany hopes , In a
vague way , that England may purchase her
goodwill by largo cessions In the Dark Con
tinent , and at present , therefore , the em
peror's government Is taking great pains
to array itself with the enemies of England
and the South Africa and Alsace-Lorraine
difficulties are to be settled on the banks of
the Fel-Ho and Yang-Tse-K ang. But Japan
has her Alsace-Lorraine. There Is an Island
within sight of Japan called Saghallcn , and
there Is no Japanese who < w'ould ' not gladly
enlist In a war to recover this Island , for
It was stolen by the Russians In 1875.
READY FOR A GO AT RUSSIA.
"I was at Toklo the year after this extra
ordinary land grab and can well recall the
fury of the then Impotent Japanese. Jf the
Russians give but half an opportunity th
army that has Just thrashed China will turn
against Russia with Infinitely finer gusto ,
That was n land grab that we could only ap
preciate If a foreign power should occupy
Long Island or the eastern shore of Mary
land. Russia has kept all she has stolen
and wants more. She wants Corea , and above
all she wants the very Port AHIiur whlcl :
Japan proposes to keep. Japan may be
bluffed -surrendering some * of her claims ,
but her true interests lie. In , fighting Russia
at once , wlillo her army.ijnd navyaroJn
good condition , and she cart doso'with the
greatest of ease.
"From a source which has never decelvei
me I am able to say that Russia has In east
ern Siberia , and nominally fit to take thi
field , twenty battalions of Infantry , twi
squadrons of cavalry , ten squadrons of Cos
sacks , six field batteries , equal to forty-elgh
guns ; two Bald mountain batteries , equal I
eight guns ; two Cossack horse artillery bat
tt > rle > , equal to twelve * guns ; three companle ;
of fortress artillery and three companies o
sappers. The recruits for these troops comi
every year from Odessa , by way of Suez , am
It would take a year before the Russian !
could put an army of 100,000 men In the fieli
near Vladlvostock. Russia alone cannot sub
due Japan , In spite of Kier army of 800,00) )
men and her many Cossacks , and Germany
can't help her only with fair words , for th
Reichstag won't vote money for a war In th
east , seeing that the only profit possible wll
fall to Russia. Franco Is wise enough t
feel much the same way. Tlio hatred fel
by Franco and Germany against England I :
not yet quite so strong as that felt by eac
for the other. John Bull and Uncle Sam can
afford to stand by and say : . * 'Let the pluck
Japanese take all he can hold ; ho will male
Infinitely better use of U than cither Chin
has done or Russia could do. '

TOKIO , Japan , May 4. ( New York Worl

ply to the protest of Russla ( France and Ger
many against taking from China the Lla
Tong peninsula Is , In substance , this :
When China ratifies tha treaty ot psac
signed at Shlmonsekl Japan will renounc
possession of the province of Manchuria , ex
cept the part of the Llao Tong peninsula ex
tending from Port Arthur to Tallen , I
recompense for this giving back of this Chi
nese territory Japan will ask a largely in
creased Indemnity.
The response of the three European powers
Is awaited. All reports of Japan's reply In
consistent with tha foregoing are false.
ST. PETERSBURG , May 4. Japan's answer
to the protest of Hussla 'rvince and Germany
has been made. Offiefcils Will not disclose the
text , but those who expected Japan to yield
express surprise at the answer.
WASHINGTON , May'4 , Information has
reached Washington to show that lu response
to Russian Intimations Jap"an has abated her
claims to the cession ot Chinese territory In
Manchuria , and now rdetrfands the absolute
cession of the extremity of the Port Arthur
peninsula as far north as , and Including
Tallen Wan. In return for this rellnqulsh-
ment of territory Japan will demand a con
siderable Increase of the war Indemnity ,
originally fixed at 200,000,000 taels. It Is
feared that this concession will not b suf
ficient to meet the demands pf Russia , which
will Insist upon an entire .abandonment of
'
Llao Tung peninsula The Russian
, reasoning Is that by the occupa
tion of Port Arthur. tha Japanese
. .
will dominate Manchuria as effectually as If
she held the nominal tltlb to the province.
Reserving Port Arthur aaa military base and
opening a great commercial port at Tallen
Wan , the Japanese will connect the latter by
rail with New Chwang on the line of the
projected Chinese railroad from Peking to
Moukden and divert the entire trade ot New
Chwang and Moukden at least In winter ,
when all of the other Manchurlan ports are
closed. It would also be Impossible for
Russia to locate a western terminal port
for the Siberian railway anywhere In
Manchuria , as It would be easily closed by
the Japanese from their powerful base at
Port Arthur , which would dominate from a
military point of view not onljr Manchuria
and the gulf of Pe-Clil-Ll. but also Wel-Hal-
I Wei , only fcrty miles across tbe straits.

The steamer for New York direct sails In
a few moments. I went to the landing to go
on board , and was on the point of stepping
Into a boat when a Cuban whom I had pre
viously met came to me and asked for a
moment's conversation. We returned to the
shed of the custom house and the man handed
me a letter. "This was brought from An
tonio Maceo by n special messenger. It Is
a proclamation he desires to have published , "
said he. I eald I could take no part In any
such matter ; that I had observed strict neu
trality , and would do nothing to assist either
side.
"Maceo wishes you to have It , " was the
answer. "What shall I do with It ? "
I will send It to the World , and take no
responsibility whatever. I will do nothing
with the paper In" Cuba , " I said.
"Huenoss , " said he , and bade me goodby.

AMERICANS OUTRAGEOUSLY TREATED.
Two American citizens , Augustus nolton
and Gustavo Richelieu , victims of Spinlsh
suspicion , were liberated from the Jail here
today. The fact was briefly cabled to the
World The story of their wrongs Is of a na
ture to rouse the Indignation of the Amer
ican people. Briefly the story Is this :
Dolton and Richelieu were In the turtle-
. shell business In Port au Prince They used
Email boats , and ono day In February put
out from Nicholas Mole to look for the tur
tles. A strong wind blew them out Into the
passage between Haytl and the east end of
Cuba , and they could not work their way
back. They landed In Guantanamo baj
February 1C , and after communicating with
the United States vice counsel they put out
and came to Santiago Here they landed
and visited the consul , Mr. Hyatt. The cap
tain of the port had them arrested for leav
ing Guantanamo without a permit. This was
only a pretext and they visited the con
sulate. While hero they were again ar
rested. They were denied permission to see
any ono and were placed In a room 65x18 , In
which were twenty-one men Some of the
latter were serving long sentences for mur
der. They were compelled to sleep on the
dirty , vermin-Infested floor , as there was no
bedding. No charge was brought. The Jail
Is a large building ot stone and brick , and
resembles a fort. H Is situated In the heart
of the city. A soldier stands at each corner
of the building with a loaded rlflo In his
hand. He keeps his eyes on the small
square grated windows , and his duty Is to
fire at any ono who tries to escape or com
municate with the prisoners. The Interior
Is divided Into a number of small cells and
several rooms. The prisoners are turned
loose In the wards or conflend In the cells
as their cases warrant. There are no decen
cies In the jail. The prisoners sleep on the
red tiles of the floor , unless friends furnish
them with bedding. The food Is a thin veg
etable soup and stewed beans , A fouler ,
more unwholesome place would be difficult
to Imagine. In this squalid prison the two
Innocent men have languished since Feb
ruary 21.
HARD TO GET NEWS.
The local newspapers published nothing of
the operations In the country. The battles
about Ramon de las Jaguar have not been
mentioned In print , save that Captain Mi
randa's death was reported when his funeral
was announced. The Spaniards never report
the death of or Killing of soldiers. I have
had great difficulty In obtaining any details
of the Ramon de las Jaguar affair. The sol
diers will not talk , or are too stupid to give
an Intelligent description of what goes on
The officers are dumb. They do not falsify
as a rule , but will say nothing whatever.
Some would not admit the death of Captain
Miranda after his funeral had occurred. The
lot of a war correspondent In Cuba Is not
a happy one.

authorized Senor Christiana Media , Salva
dorean minister to London nnd Paris , nctlnc ;
Nicaragua ! ! minister In London , to accept
the modified ultimatum of Great Britain.
This modified ultimatum , It Is understood
here , was secured by the Influence and
thiough the Intel cession of the United States
Senor Media Is also authorized by tlTe gov
ernment ( to pay the 15,000 sterling In Lon
don under protest , within five days after the
departure of the British Sfiuadron from Co-
rlnto.
Orders for the evacuation of the port of
Corlnto by the British are to be cabled to
Admiral Stephcnson today , and It Is thought
probable that he Is already In possession of
Instructions to that effect from Earl Spencer ,
first lord of the admiralty. It Is understood
here that the other Items In the original ul
timatum of Great Britain will all be settled
by arbitration.
Cable messages have been constantly
passing , and are passing during the daj , be
tween Senor Christiana Media In London and
President Zclaya of Nlcaiagua. In the first
of the messages received early in the day
from Lord Klmberly thiough Senor Media
the government of Great Britain stated thi
terms ot Its modified ultimatum. The terms
of the ultimatum were at once accepted by
the Nlcaraguan government and word to this
effect was dispatched to Senor Media In Lon
don.
don.As
As an Indication of the belligerent feeling
between the Nlcaraguan government am'
Great Britain , It Is worth mentioning thni
Senor Flallos , the Htmdurean envoy , senl
last evening to Admiral Stephenson , com
mander of the British squadron , for the pur
pose of acting as mediator between the two
countries , was received this morning vvltli
much courtesy on board the flagship Uo > a
Arthur. Senor Fiallos was Informed bj
Admiral Stephenson that he was expecting
a cable from Lord Klmberly In reference to
the settlement of the Issues with Nicaragua
Admiral Stophcnson expressed the hope tha
the terms of the modified ultimatum wouU
be of such a nature as to allow him to saluti
the Nlcaraguan flag when ho departed will
his squadron from Corlnto. Another friendly
act on the part of Admiral Stcpenson , vvhlcl ;
has given a vast deal of satisfaction here ,
was the voluntary release of a Nicaragua ! :
colonel who had been Imprisoned upon th
charge of using discourteous language t
borne of the officers and crew of the Brltlsli
squadron.

PATH LIKE A LETTER "S. "
The first report of the storm gave the
correct course of the cyclone. It originated
near Ircton , and traveling northwest as
sumed the shape of a long drawn out , Ir
regular letter "S. " There Is no mistaking the.
path of the storm ; It Is clearly drawn. Yet
It Is not Intended to convey the Impression
that every living thing In this swath ot half a
mile or more Is laid waste. Although trees
ten and twelve Inches In diameter were
snapped off near to the ground and plants
torn up by the roots , yet there were many-
stately elms and tall poplars which with
stood the wind's terrific force. They are ,
however , believed not to have been dlrcctly
In the way ot the cyclone , and owe their
existence to the tortuous winds of the freaky
funnels. In the territory covered by the
*
storm were a largonumber of farms sown
with wheat anct oats. The loss to the grow
ing grain will bo considerable. In some-
places the ground Is swept bare.
Over all , everywhere , Is a thick plaster
ot mud. Where this * black mud has been ,
thrown against the sides ot buildings the
warm sun of today completely baked It , and
great layers three and four Inches thick
could be knocked off. This mud was swept
along over the fields ot oats and wheat , and
literally carpets the ground. Strewn on top
of this hard , smooth surface were piece *
of timber , household furniture , farm ma
chinery and dead and dying animals.
Tlio Aisoclated press reporter started at
the origin and traveled tha path of the storm.
John Kostcr , who lost his wife and llttU
girl , lived four miles southwest of Sioux
Center. Ills home was completely swept
away. Mrs. Kostcr was In the house and
one of the men about the place saw tb
storm approaching , and he said there were

Crown Prepared to Protect All Known to Be Implicated and Afraid to Push Wilde Further for Fear He Would Denounce Them.
(Copyrighted, 1895, by Press Publishing Company)
LONDON, May 4. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) England's policy of absolute non-intervention in respect to the Japan-China treaty is now being established with the approval of all parties here. Political speculation concerns itself with what England will do if there is a coalition of Russia, Germany and France, or if Russia alone should attempt to resist the treaty by force. I have attempted to secure the views of the leaders of both parties on this point, but without exception they decline to express any opinion for publication. The Issue is, of course, very delicate and newspapers have not even referred to it, because of an obvious fear of international complications. The greatest importance has been given during the last winter to the establishment of a good feeling between Russia and England. Through the influence of the Prince of Wales with the new Czar, his nephew by marriage, and the popularity of the Prince, this received an impetus never before equalled from any cause. Its first result was an amicable arrangement of the Pamir frontier question, which had dragged for years and had twice nearly plunged the two nations into war.
ENGLAND WILL NOT FIGHT.
There is a strong disposition on the part of England, therefore, to do nothing to interrupt this present friendship, and while recognizing that England's commercial interests and present policy would lead her to do anything possible for Japan, the leaders of both parties in private conversation say it is most improbable that England would go to the length of assisting Japan in a war with Russia. To avert the necessity of this crisis, all the efforts of the English foreign office are now directed to bringing about a peaceable settlement of the points at issue. The bellicose utterances of the Russian press, which have almost official authority, in view of the fact that every published line must be approved by the official censor, is accepted as showing the existence of the gravest situation. The words of Sir Charles Dilke to your correspondent, that the relations between Japan and Russia could not be more strained short of actual war, exactly expresses the feeling among the responsible leaders of both parties in England.
BASHER-DU PREM FEUD.
Newspaper readers will remember the extraordinary statement made to our correspondent last January by prominent French politicians, charging Premier Dupuy with having dogged Castlemartyr Perry with police spies and boldly accusing him of starting all the scandalous stories then current about the president. At the time it was said that the ex-president meant to publish a book giving the secret history of his brief stay at the Elysee and the reasons of his resignation. Asked recently as to the truth of the report, Castlemartyr Perry made the rather startling, but enigmatic statement that "His private documents and memoranda had been stolen from him and photographed, and that though subsequently replaced, the information contained therein could no longer be regarded as his exclusive property. If the person or persons who might have benefited by this temporary theft were to make the disclosures, he himself could no longer be considered responsible, and that should the possible revelations happen to be approximately exact, he could hardly be expected to go out of his way to deny the truth."
It will be noticed that theft coincides with the public appearance of M. Charles Dupuy and is the third round of the Perry-Dupuy duel about to begin. Round one was fought over the presidential election in June, 1892, when Dupuy came out second best. Round two listed as long as Perry remained at the Elysee, when the rivals fell together, it being impossible to say who was uppermost or who had sustained the least damage.
ANXIOUS FOR WILDE TO LEAVE.
Granting bail to Oscar Wilde means that the authorities desire to give him facilities for clearing out of the country. Otherwise, the crown lawyers would certainly have opposed his application, in which case no judge would grant it. The proceeding is part of the policy consistently pursued by the authorities from the beginning. Twenty-four hours before the collapse of Wilde's suit against Queensberry, the police notified Wilde that they had evidence that would convict him. He declined the hint and thought to brazen the matter out. The instructions to the crown lawyers were that the inquiry should be strictly limited to Wilde and Taylor, and the witnesses were prohibited from drawing in any other cases.
The case was not pressed against Wilde as it might have been, lest in the desperation of his conviction he might have denounced very high-placed people who were equally guilty with him, and whose complicity in these abominations is known to the police. As a matter of fact, several of these individuals took the precaution of leaving the country when Wilde was arrested.
I hear on authority that Mrs. Wilde and her children did not benefit by the large income Wilde was making from his plays. She had a fortune of about £2,000 a year when she married, but as it was chiefly in rents, the income had almost dwindled away lately years, and while her husband was spending money freely on his accomplices or arts, his wife and children were almost in want. This fact has been known to her friends several months, and it has prevented such sympathy as might be felt with the once favorite playwright in his degradation.
SHE'S LIBERAL WITH THE THIRD, TOO
A well-informed correspondent writes the World: "The duchess of Marlborough and her husband, Lord William Berwick (who retains her higher title), are still enjoying their honeymoon at Deepden, and have decided to prolong the stay beyond the fortnight intended. They drive out every day over the estate and Lord William is taking over the entire management of his wife's English property. As military secretary to the successive viceroys of India, he has had considerable experience in the arrangement of a large household. Much curiosity exists as to the question of the settlements of Lord William. Between his military pension and his family allowance, his personal income is about £2,000 a year, and it is stated that the duchess has settled £10,000 a year on him, securing the continuance of the income should she predecease by a recent life assurance. She has had a cottage in one of the most picturesque parts of Norway for the last few years, and they have arranged to spend the greater part of June there. He, who has had long experience on the turf in India, will start racing in England next season. He is a particularly shrewd judge of horseflesh, as well as an excellent horseman, and it is taken for granted he will soon make his stable pay its way. Though he is not a wealthy man for his class, he bears the highest reputation for personal integrity and his intimates aver that he did not owe a farthing when he married.
VICTORIA AT A FAVORITE GAME.
Another equally well-informed person declares that the queen was engaged at Windsor yesterday in forwarding one of her projects for the marriage of her many grandchildren, in which she has always delighted.
Yesterday, the young queen of Holland visited her, and it is an open secret that the queen is very anxious to arrange a marriage between her and the oldest son of the duke of Edinburgh, now reigning duke of Saxony-Coburg, who is just 20. The young queen, although strictly incognito on her visit here, has received every possible attention from the various members of the English royal family. Her marriage will, of course, involve many international questions. It is reported to be the desire of the kaiser to arrange a marriage for her with his eldest son. This will, if ever seriously entertained, be almost certain to be frustrated by the intense feeling in Holland against any possible union with Germany. Besides being a prospective ruler of a prosperous and contented kingdom, Wilhelmina will come into a large fortune, increased largely during her long minority.
PEMBROKE'S DEATH MUCH REGRETTED
The death of the earl of Pembroke yesterday created a profound sensation, for, although ill health prevented his prominence in politics, he was one of the most popular men in England. He is of interest to Americans because his younger brother, Michael Henry Herbert, married the daughter of Richard Wilson of New York. He has no chance of succession, as another older brother who now succeeds has two sons.
The late earl was over six feet six inches in height and his overgrowth in youth was the cause of his continued ill health. Some twenty years ago he published an account of a cruise in the Southern Pacific, written jointly by himself and Dr. Kingsley, a brother of the novelist. This book was entitled "South Sea Bubbles," and the earl's humorous approval of the lax morals of the South Sea Islanders created a sensation and was severely condemned. The book was banned in many circulating libraries. Among other things, he joyously observed that he would return to Tahiti and marry one of the dusky beauties of whose charms he spoke in glowing terms, but instead of doing so, he shortly afterward surprised everyone by wedding an aunt of the present earl of Shrewsbury, a lady who is not a beauty and had considerable the advantage of him in years. He never had any children. He was a handsome man, and his brother, Sidney Herbert, M.P., who succeeds, is considered the best-looking man in the House of Commons, and his sister, Lady de Grey, formerly countess of Longdale, is a famous beauty. His mother, Lady Herbert of Lea, who survives him, has for many years been a Catholic and is a great devotee. She lets her mansion in Dover square every season and devotes the rent to the uses of a community of nuns, in which she is interested. The house has just been taken this year by Lord Dunraven.
A large part of the American colony today are at the opening game of the new baseball association, of which the lord mayor is honorary president.
HENRY IRVING IN "DON QUIXOTE"
Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance
Description of the Criterion incline: Armour.
(Copyrighted, 1835. by Prentice Publishing Company)
LONDON, May 4. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram) A new play by Mr. Irving is always an event in London. He created a new and very fascinating character tonight in "Don Quixote." It was only in one act, a mere sketch, but the pathetic phases of character underlying Cervantes' satire were presented with the incomparable skill of this incomparable actor. The quality of simple faith perverted into insane exaltation was a dangerous experiment upon the modern stage, but Mr. Irving made his Don Quixote as pathetic as he made him ridiculous, and the great audience was almost as silent and absorbed as a few years ago audiences sat spellbound under the religious vagabondism of Jean d'Arc, as given by Bernhardt. The humorous side of the knight's vagaries were all but forgotten in the intense earnestness of his delusion. Perhaps nothing he has done showed more this great actor's intellectual force and subtlety, than to have thus made ridicule forget itself in almost affectionate pity. It is not Mr. Irving's object, however, to present this as more than a bit of outline, or to demand serious criticism for it. He coupled it tonight with another sketch of the last few hours of the life of a Waterloo veteran, the last of his corps to join the great army beyond.
COUNT KVILANY'S RESIGNATION:
Austrian Foreign Minister Steps Out Vatican Influence in Hungary.
VIENNA, May 4. The Presse announces that Count Kalnoky, the Imperial minister for foreign affairs, has resigned. His resignation is supposed to have grown out of the recent utterances of the papal nuncio against the ecclesiastical bills during a visit which he made to various towns in Hungary. Huron Banffy, the Hungarian prime minister, replying to an Interpellation on the subject in the lower house of the Hungarian Diet on Wednesday last, said that the government disapproved of the conduct of the nuncio that the Vatican's influence in church matters should be exercised only through the prime minister of Hungary and that the Imperial government held this view and had requested the Vatican to explain the conduct of the nuncio.
These statements, it appears, created great surprise in the foreign office and according to the Polltische Correspondenz they could only "be ascribed to Baron Banffy's ignorance of diplomatic usages."
Death of Mrs. Edward Gibson.
LONDON, May 4. Mrs. Gibson, wife of the secretary of state for foreign affairs, is dead. She was a daughter of Hitchens Hobart, third earl of Clare, a title which is now extinct, and was married to the earl of Kimberley in 1877.

BERLIN, May 4. The Reichstag proceedings have attracted little interest during the past week, but they are expected to be greatly enlivened when the anti-revolution bill comes before the house. The demonstration tomorrow against the bill by the delegates from various city councils will be a great affair, having gained importance by reason of the government's opposition. The government yesterday received another rebuff in this question in the adoption by the lower house of the Wurtemburg Diet of a socialist motion condemning the anti-revolution bill. Premier Mittnacht declared the vote on the bill in the Bundesrat was not binding, and admitted he had grave doubts respecting the advisability of the measure in the form given it by the committees. This statement is only a sign of the times, as it is very evident that throughout Europe, apart from Russia, the feeling is distinctly against the diaastic character of the anti-revolutionary bill. The government, too, does not help its cause in combating socialism by ridiculous mistakes, such as including in the list of books regarded as subversive to the state and attached to the anti-revolution bill in order to show its necessity the political works of the patriot, Freiligrath, written in 1848, and which are now used in ordinary school books.
SEVERE SENTENCES FOR MOTHERS.
The sentences in the Fuechsmühle riot case have caused a great deal of indignation and are being made capital of by the social democratic press, as showing the contrasts between the law and natural justice. One hundred and forty-three men were condemned to terms of imprisonment, varying from fourteen days to four months. The chief sufferer was Burgomaster Joseph Stock, who received the heaviest sentence and a fine. The severity of the punishment is generally condemned by the upper classes of newspapers, many of whom urge the prince regent to pardon the offenders. The commune of Fuechsmühle is on the verge of destitution, as the prisoners form the bulk of the adult population.
The leading event, socially, has been the opening of the art exhibition by Dr. Busek, the minister of public instruction, representing the emperor. There was a very smart attendance. The American exhibit is placed separately in two large halls and is universally conceded to outshine the rest, even the French section being eclipsed. Harrison, Gay, Pearce, Bridgeman, Sergeant, Stewart, Weeks, Melchers, Dannett, Macewen, and Holchoven are especially strong among the Americans. Harrison's "Plein Air" painting "En Arcadia," is said to be the greatest attraction of the show. The American section has received generous praise from the entire Berlin press. The Vossische Zeitung, for instance, says: "Those times are past when Americans were sneered at. Who can deny it? In the arts and crafts there is the same resistless energy as in the technological sciences. One feels the presence of the youthful vigor which courses through veins across the ocean, and which is ever achieving fresh things." Among the sculptors, Prof. Heller's Heine monument has been purchased by the Germans of New York.
GETTING AFTER THE STANDARD.
A portion of the German press commented on the warfare on the Standard Oil company, because of its successful manipulations in raising the price for petroleum, which has risen 50 per cent within three months, and which is now 15 cents a quart at retail. The Kreuz Zeitung and other papers call upon the government to take steps to prevent such usurious proceedings. Yesterday's question in the Reichstag was the outcome of this agitation, and the result showed that the government is evidently preparing countermeasures.
The government, through the Navy department, following the example of other powers, has secured by contract the eventual services of four fast Hamburg-Amerika line steamers and six of the fastest steamers of the North German Lloyd line. They will each be armed with sixteen guns of heavy caliber and fourteen quick-firing guns. The steamers will be used in case of necessity as dispatch boats and for reconnaissance work. The first practical test of their availability will be made during the great naval maneuvers next autumn, one of the steamers being hired for 1,300,000 marks.
Emperor William and the Imperial family have taken up their residence at the new palace until the end of June, when the emperor is going on a yachting trip to Norway. The empress will spend the summer with her children at Wilhelmshöhe. His majesty's new racing yacht, Vittoria, is being fitted out and will be taken to Kiel on Monday. She will be raced during the Kiel regatta in June.
The Reichstag yesterday by a large majority agreed to a credit of 1,700,000 marks to cover the expenses of opening the Baltic and North Sea canal. Dr. von Boetticher, the Imperial Secretary of the Interior, made the unexpected announcement that the actual cost of the canal was probably 700,000 marks less than the estimate. A medal has been modeled by Prof. Heller at the instance of the emperor to celebrate the dedication of the canal. His majesty will present one of these medals to each guest.
According to reports published here, Miss Grace Chisholm, the lady who has just taken the degree of philosophy at the University of Göttingen, with the express permission of the Prussian minister of education, this being the first degree ever taken by a woman at Göttingen since it became a university, is not an English woman as at first announced but an American.
Mr. Carl Bailey Hurst, formerly United States consul at Croydon, has gone to his new post, that of consul at Prague.
Mr. Noah Brooks, the author, spent a few days here during the week, being a member of the Palestine excursion party.
PRIVACY IS POLITENESS IN FOREIGN POLICY
France and Germany Not Only to Go to War in Palestine Solution.
(Private, 1913, by the Associated Press.)
LONDON, May 4: There seems to be little doubt that China and Japan have both ratified the treaty of Shimonoseki, which complicates the position of the European protesting powers. At the request of the Associated Press, Mr. Poultney Blake, who has exceptional means for obtaining political information, especially in Germany, has written the following: "Russia, the power that today calls upon Japan to drop the fruits of her victory and take orders from St. Petersburg. Russia orders Japan to give up her foothold upon China because, forsooth, she may disturb that mystical bauble called balance of power. This order is backed up by the voice of France and Germany. The voice of France is weak, not because she does not love Russia, but because she also loves Japan and because she hates Germany more than she loves any country. Germany is sacrificing the friendship of Japan for reasons strictly political. The emperor of Germany desires to show good will for his eastern neighbor, particularly at the outset of the present czar's reign. For the past ten years these relations have been very much strained, even to the point of imminent war in 1891. Germany is now experimenting with a platonic alliance between the czar and the emperor. It cannot last long, but it is profoundly conceived. It tends to weaken French hatred of Germany and to wean that republic from slavish obedience to Russia's dictation and to isolate her still further.
"A large party in Germany hates England cordially and is ready to make any sacrifice for the gratification of this feeling. This hatred springs largely from commercial rivalry, but still more from the testing that German expansion in Africa has been hampered by John Bull. Germany hopes, in a vague way, that England may purchase her goodwill by large cessions in the Dark Continent, and at present, therefore, the emperor's government is taking great pains to array itself with the enemies of England and the South African and Alsace-Lorraine difficulties are to be settled on the banks of the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. But Japan has her Alsace-Lorraine. There is an Island within sight of Japan called Saghalien, and there is no Japanese who would not gladly enlist in a war to recover this Island, for it was stolen by the Russians in 1875.
READY FOR A GO AT RUSSIA.
"I was at Tokyo the year after this extraordinary land grab and can well recall the fury of the then impotent Japanese. If the Russians give but half an opportunity, the army that has just thrashed China will turn against Russia with infinitely finer gusto. That was a land grab that we could only appreciate if a foreign power should occupy Long Island or the eastern shore of Maryland. Russia has kept all she has stolen and wants more. She wants Korea, and above all, she wants the very Port Arthur which Japan proposes to keep. Japan may be bluffed into surrendering some of her claims, but her true interests lie in fighting Russia at once, while her army and navy are in good condition, and she can do so with the greatest of ease."
From a source which has never deceived me, I am able to say that Russia has in eastern Siberia, and nominally fit to take the field, twenty battalions of Infantry, two squadrons of cavalry, ten squadrons of Cossacks, six field batteries, equal to forty-eight guns; two Bald mountain batteries, equal to eight guns; two Cossack horse artillery batteries, equal to twelve guns; three companies of fortress artillery and three companies of sappers. The recruits for these troops come every year from Odessa, by way of Suez, among them.
It would take a year before the Russian army could put an army of 100,000 men in the field near Vladivostok. Russia alone cannot subdue Japan, in spite of her army of 800,000 men and her many Cossacks, and Germany can't help her only with fair words, for the Reichstag won't vote money for a war in the east, seeing that the only profit possible will fall to Russia. France is wise enough to feel much the same way. The hatred felt by France and Germany against England is not yet quite so strong as that felt by each for the other. John Bull and Uncle Sam can afford to stand by and say: 'Let the plucky Japanese take all he can hold; he will make infinitely better use of it than either China has done or Russia could do.'
"POULTNEY BIGELOW."
EXACT TERMS OF JAPAN'S REPLY.
Russia, France and Germany Notified of the Exact Position of the Victors.
Tokio, Japan, May 4. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) Japan's reply to the protest of Russia, France and Germany against taking from China the Liaotung peninsula is, in substance, this: When China ratifies the treaty of peace signed at Shimonoseki, Japan will renounce possession of the province of Manchuria, except the part of the Liaotung peninsula extending from Port Arthur to Talien, in recompense for this giving back of this Chinese territory, Japan will ask a largely increased indemnity.
The response of the three European powers is awaited. All reports of Japan's reply inconsistent with the foregoing are false.
St. Petersburg, May 4. Japan's answer to the protest of Russia, France and Germany has been made. Officials will not disclose the text, but those who expected Japan to yield express surprise at the answer.
Washington, May 4. Information has reached Washington to show that in response to Russian intimations Japan has abated her claims to the cession of Chinese territory in Manchuria, and now demands the absolute cession of the extremity of the Port Arthur peninsula as far north as, and including, Talien Wan. In return for this relinquishment of territory Japan will demand a considerable increase of the war indemnity, originally fixed at 200,000,000 taels. It is feared that this concession will not be sufficient to meet the demands of Russia, which will insist upon an entire abandonment of the Liaotung peninsula. The Russian reasoning is that by the occupation of Port Arthur, the Japanese will dominate Manchuria as effectively as if she held the nominal title to the province. Reserving Port Arthur as a military base and opening a great commercial port at Talien Wan, the Japanese will connect the latter by rail with New Chwang on the line of the projected Chinese railroad from Peking to Mukden and divert the entire trade of New Chwang and Mukden, at least in winter, when all of the other Manchurian ports are closed. It would also be impossible for Russia to locate a western terminal port for the Siberian railway anywhere in Manchuria, as it would be easily closed by the Japanese from their powerful base at Port Arthur, which would dominate from a military point of view not only Manchuria and the gulf of Pei-Chih-Tou, but also Weh-Hai-Wei, only fifty miles across the straits.

Santiago, Cuba, April 27. (New York World Correspondence Special Telegram.) The steamer for New York direct sails in a few moments. I went to the landing to go on board, and was on the point of stepping into a boat when a Cuban whom I had previously met came to me and asked for a moment's conversation. We returned to the shed of the custom house and the man handed me a letter. "This was brought from Antonio Maceo by a special messenger. It Is a proclamation he desires to have published," said he. I said I could take no part in any such matter; that I had observed strict neutrality, and would do nothing to assist either side.
"Maceo wishes you to have It," was the answer. "What shall I do with It?" I said I would send It to the World, and take no responsibility whatever. I would do nothing with the paper in Cuba, I said.
"Huenos," said he, and bade me goodbye.
Here Is the letter:
"CALL TO ARMS."
"TO CUBA. To arms, brave Cubans. To me falls the honorable duty of inviting you to fight again for our national sovereignty, you who had the glory of vanquishing the Spanish troops in the heroic struggle of ten years. I warn you that the motto which I bring engraved in my heart, in characters of the purest patriotism, will not be smirched with useless transaction nor shameful treaties. It is that noble and sincere one which symbolizes for you the hope of being free and independent. Remember that the false promises of liberty with which General Campos seduced you brought you to Spanish scaffolds, infamous banishments, horrible prisons, and you were even persecuted in your homes by the Panduras and Policias, who filled with terror and desolation the intimate bosom of the Cuban family, thus destroying your own future. Do not admit any more exploitations which degrade. Break forever that act of ignominy and opprobrium. Come out with your compatriots and friends.
(Signed.) "A. MACEO."
AMERICANS OUTRAGEOUSLY TREATED.
Two American citizens, Augustus Dalton and Gustave Richelieu, victims of Spanish suspicion, were liberated from the Jail here today. The fact was briefly cabled to the World. The story of their wrongs is of a nature to rouse the indignation of the American people. Briefly, the story is this: Dalton and Richelieu were in the turtle-shell business in Port-au-Prince. They used email boats, and one day in February put out from Nicholas Mole to look for the turtles. A strong wind blew them out into the passage between Haiti and the east end of Cuba, and they could not work their way back. They landed in Guantanamo Bay on February 16, and after communicating with the United States vice consul they put out and came to Santiago. Here they landed and visited the consul, Mr. Hyatt. The captain of the port had them arrested for leaving Guantanamo without a permit. This was only a pretext and they visited the consulate. While here they were again arrested. They were denied permission to see anyone and were placed in a room 65x18, in which were twenty-one men. Some of the latter were serving long sentences for murder. They were compelled to sleep on the dirty, vermin-infested floor, as there was no bedding. No charge was brought. The jail is a large building of stone and brick, and resembles a fort. It is situated in the heart of the city. A soldier stands at each corner of the building with a loaded rifle in his hand. He keeps his eyes on the small square grated windows, and his duty is to fire at anyone who tries to escape or communicate with the prisoners. The interior is divided into a number of small cells and several rooms. The prisoners are turned loose in the wards or confined in the cells as their cases warrant. There are no decencies in the jail. The prisoners sleep on the red tiles of the floor, unless friends furnish them with bedding. The food is a thin vegetable soup and stewed beans. A fouler, more unwholesome place would be difficult to imagine. In this squalid prison the two innocent men have languished since February 21.
HARD TO GET NEWS.
The local newspapers published nothing of the operations in the country. The battles about Ramon de las Jaguaras have not been mentioned in print, save that Captain Miranda's death was reported when his funeral was announced. The Spaniards never report the death of or killing of soldiers. I have had great difficulty in obtaining any details of the Ramon de las Jaguaras affair. The soldiers will not talk, or are too stupid to give an intelligent description of what goes on. The officers are dumb. They do not falsify as a rule, but will say nothing whatever. Some would not admit the death of Captain Miranda after his funeral had occurred. The lot of a war correspondent in Cuba is not a happy one.
WILLIAM SHAW LOWEN.
STRENGTH OF THE INSURGENTS.
GUANTANAMO, Cuba, April 25. (New York World Correspondence Special Telegram) I have been in company with General Jose Maceo (who was reported as having died of wounds received in the battle of Palmarito) since April 21 until yesterday. He had when I left him 1,300 men, of whom 1,000 were well equipped, some having Manson rifles, others the improved Remingtons. About half the men are negroes. All are in the fight for a common cause, the independence of Cuba, and they are full of confidence. In this part of the island there are about 7,000 insurgents who are provided with the necessary munitions of war. They are keeping 20,000 government troops busy.

Explanation Will Receive Orders to Evict Quakers
(Continued from page 1)
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, May 1. (Via Galveston) At 1 o'clock this morning, Nicaragua authorized Senor Christiana Medina, Salvadoran minister to London and Paris, acting as Nicaragua's minister in London, to accept the modified ultimatum of Great Britain.
This modified ultimatum, it is understood here, was secured by the influence and through the intervention of the United States. Senor Medina is also authorized by the government to pay the 15,000 sterling in London under protest, within five days after the departure of the British Squadron from Corinto.
Orders for the evacuation of the port of Corinto by the British are to be cabled to Admiral Stephenson today, and it is thought probable that he is already in possession of instructions to that effect from Earl Spencer, first lord of the admiralty. It is understood here that the other items in the original ultimatum of Great Britain will all be settled by arbitration.
Cable messages have been constantly passing, and are passing during the day, between Senor Christiana Medina in London and President Zelaya of Nicaragua. In the first of the messages received early in the day from Lord Kimberley through Senor Medina, the government of Great Britain stated the terms of its modified ultimatum. The terms of the ultimatum were at once accepted by the Nicaraguan government and word to this effect was dispatched to Senor Medina in London.
As an indication of the belligerent feeling between the Nicaraguan government and Great Britain, it is worth mentioning that Senor Fiallos, the Salvadoran envoy, sent last evening to Admiral Stephenson, commander of the British squadron, for the purpose of acting as mediator between the two countries, was received this morning with much courtesy on board the flagship HMS Royal Arthur. Senor Fiallos was informed by Admiral Stephenson that he was expecting a cable from Lord Kimberley in reference to the settlement of the issues with Nicaragua. Admiral Stephenson expressed the hope that the terms of the modified ultimatum would allow him to salute the Nicaraguan flag when he departed with his squadron from Corinto. Another friendly act on the part of Admiral Stephenson, which has given a vast deal of satisfaction here, was the voluntary release of a Nicaraguan colonel who had been imprisoned upon the charge of using discourteous language to some of the officers and crew of the British squadron.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, May 4. A howling mob is rushing through the streets howling: "Death to Zelaya and his advisers!" An outbreak is imminent. The troops are confined to the barracks, all ready for emergencies. Reinforcements are coming from Leon.
CORINTO, Nicaragua, May 4. The garrison on the mainland has been reinforced, and the troops are prepared for an immediate move. Two of the bridges connecting the town with the mainland have been destroyed. The guard of British marines has taken a position near the bridge approaches. The warships have changed positions, so as to be ready for hostilities if necessary.
LONDON, May 4. It is semiofficially announced this afternoon that the British government has not yet received Nicaragua's acquiescence in the British demands, and a definite reply cannot hardly be expected for a few days.
WOOING CANADA.
Confederation Stalls. Hoare over Headway.
ST. JOHNS, N. P., May 4. The greatest anxiety prevails regarding confederation with Canada. The government received a letter from the Dominion cabinet last night. Those qualified say that the disagreement continues. Official members of the government party say that confederation is dead and the only alternative is to accept the position of a crown colony.
The ministry held two conferences with Governor O'Brien, it is supposed, on the French question. The governor insists upon the holding of a general election before the question of confederation is submitted to the assembly. The Whitewayites, the government party, refused to agree to this, fearing that they would be defeated.
SOME TROUBLE IN THE BRITISH CABINET OVER THE LOCAL VETO BILL.
LONDON, May 4. The St. James' Gazette this afternoon follows up the rumors in the Times as to a cabinet crisis, and says that the differences of opinion are due to the chancellor of the exchequer, Sir William Harcourt, desiring to have the local veto bill brought up for its second reading immediately, the rest of the cabinet ministers being in favor of deferring the second reading because it is known that several liberals will vote against it, and it is consequently expected that the government will be defeated in the division. Even the most sanguine supporters of the measure only count upon a majority of eight.
FRENCH OPERATIONS IN MADAGASCAR.
PARIS, May 4. A despatch received here from Majunga Island, Madagascar, announces that the French forces yesterday brilliantly carried an important Hova position on the Besiboka river, capturing a number of prisoners, several guns, and a quantity of provisions. The Hova loss was serious.

Ten of the dead and most of the injured lived in the vicinity of Sioux Center, which seems to have been the culminating point of the tornado. Its track is almost as clear-cut as a wagon road, and everything in its path was demolished, barns, houses, fences, etc., strewn over the country for miles.
The killed and injured in the vicinity of Sioux Center are as follows:
GEORGE MARSDEN, teacher.
MISS ANNIE MARSDEN, teacher.
ALICE KOSTER, 8 years old.
TEUNS VERHOEFF, 4 years old.
JACOB JENSEN.
MRS. JOHN KOSTER.
MISS TILLIE HAKESIE.
MAURICE COOMBS, child.
MRS. BALKAM, Shelby.
MRS. WATERMAN, Shelby.
RUDOLPH SCHEVRELDEEGERT, Sibyland.
PETER STIMMER. Lauren's.
The more seriously injured are:
John Waterman and son, Shelby.
John Frys, Shelby.
M. Blackburn, Shelby.
Rosbury brothers, Shelby.
Minna, Jennie, and Luella Coombs, Sioux Center.
Nellie Coombs, fatally, Sioux Center.
Mrs. I, Wario and baby, Sioux Center.
John Henry and Matilda Haggle, Sioux City.
Mr. Doverts, Sioux Center.
Two sons of T. Deebor, Sioux Center.
Two children of R. J. Smith, Sioux Center.
A. M. Perry, Hawarden.
STREWN WITH DEAD ANIMALS.
Citizens of Sioux Center are caring for the injured and destitute, about thirty farmhouses being wrecked. The property loss will be heavy, but it cannot hardly be estimated at present. Much live stock was killed, the prairie being strewn with the carcasses of horses and cattle.
The Journal's Shelby special says: The only person killed in Osceola was Mrs. John Waterman, five miles from Shelby. A joist fell on her neck. She held her baby in her arms, and the baby escaped injury. Her husband was injured in the breast and face seriously. William Waterman, his son, had his right arm broken and left shoulder injured. Charles Rossburg was badly bruised. Henry Rossburg, his son, was cut badly about the head. Mrs. Charles Rossburg was thrown into a tree, but not seriously hurt. Herman, Albert, Otto, and Emma Rossburg, were injured, but not seriously. Mrs. Feldkamp was not killed as reported last night.
The Melcher and Whitney schoolhouses were both wrecked. Mrs. Mary Good, teacher of the Whitney schoolhouse, closed it twenty minutes before the storm struck. John Coughlin, wife, and ten children, were all saved by taking refuge in a concrete cellar. They lost their house, household goods, barn, and had a horse killed. The well pumps were pulled out at Rossburg's and Frels.
The destruction in Osceola county was in the western tier of townships. William's barns were completely wrecked. The barns of Pushak, Kruger, Whitney, Herron, Blackburn, Hamburn, Waterman, Little, and Childs were wrecked. The houses of Waterman and Rossburg were destroyed.
PATH LIKE A LETTER "S."
The first report of the storm gave the correct course of the cyclone. It originated near Ireta, and traveling northwest assumed the shape of a long drawn-out, irregular letter "S." There is no mistaking the path of the storm; it is clearly drawn. Yet it is not intended to convey the impression that every living thing in this swath of half a mile or more is laid waste. Although trees ten and twelve inches in diameter were snapped off near to the ground and plants torn up by the roots, yet there were many stately elms and tall poplars which withstood the wind's terrific force. They are, however, believed not to have been directly in the way of the cyclone, and owe their existence to the tortuous winds of the freaky funnels. In the territory covered by the storm were a large number of farms sown with wheat and oats. The loss to the growing grain will be considerable. In some places, the ground is swept bare.
Over all, everywhere, is a thick plaster of mud. Where this black mud has been thrown against the sides of buildings, the warm sun of today completely baked it, and great layers three and four inches thick could be knocked off. This mud was swept along over the fields of oats and wheat, and literally carpets the ground. Strewn on top of this hard, smooth surface were pieces of timber, household furniture, farm machinery, and dead and dying animals.
The Associated Press reporter started at the origin and traveled the path of the storm. John Koster, who lost his wife and little girl, lived four miles southwest of Sioux Center. His home was completely swept away. Mrs. Koster was in the house, and one of the men about the place saw the storm approaching, and he said there were two funnel-shaped clouds visible. He ran to the house to tell Mrs. Koster to fly for the cyclone cellar, and barely escaped with his life. Just as he reached the door, the wind caught the dwelling and whirled it to pieces.
Mrs. Koster was caught under the timber and instantly killed. Her head was mashed and both legs broken. The little daughter, Alice, aged 8, was attending the school, about half a mile east of the schoolhouse. She was picked up in a field 100 yards from the site of the buildings. Her legs were broken and the skin was severely damaged. | 47 |

Inc die without fixing the price ot mining.
Uthougli there was only a difference of 9
ents between the propositions of the miners
nd operators , neither side would make any
oncesslons. A lockout now seems probable ,
s the operators say they cannot operale
heir mines and pay over 51 cents. They
him they cannot compete far lake trade
gainst the I'lttsburg district at the rate pro-
nsed by the miners. About 24,000 miners
n the state suspended work May 1 pending
EetllDinenl. The operators will probably
quietly await the end of the I'lttsburg strike ,
nd In the event of a failure to adjusl the
Ifferences thcro with the miners will ds-
laro a lockout. The operators , It appears ,
hive anticipated a stispcnrJon and a month's
stock of coal , It Is said , has been accumu
lated.

been directly concerned In the Brltlah-NIca-

as to the part taken by the United States

Some recent cables to this country from
Condon have sought to convey the Impres-
lon that Senor Medina , tha Salvadorean
nlnlstcr , effected the settlement. It Is
ecognlzed as an established fact by those
amlllar with the correspondence that the
good offices of the State department exerted
n no uncertain vay through Ambassador

ilatform out and out and elected delegates
o the Springfield convention.
Ex-Judgo S. P. McConnel was made tern-

'The preside-ill 6f the United States , the

vns wildly cheered at tli2 conclusion of his

Kx-Congressman Ilryan came next. He said
n p.irt : "Wo are not here to denounce the

Vo ara not here to say anything agilnst

vlthout bowing to the dictatorship of the

his administration , which forbade the dem

a republican It Is the first announcement
hat democratic olllceholdlng depends on the
vllllnguess to fight democrats when they
could not fight republicans. " ( Applause. )
He then paid his respects to Senator
'aimer , declaring- that his power as a leader
tad gone and that he had no fallowing among
he democrats.
The platform , declaring In favor of silver
nt 1C to 1 was then read and adopted , twen
ty-four votes being cast against It.
Three hundred democrats were present at

vhen the monetary question was discussed
rom the sound money standpoint. Presi

clared flatly against free silver and was
greeted with loud applause. Senator John
M. Palmer made an extemporaneous speech
on "Democracy and Money" and got back
n vigorous fashion at the free silver demo

has been ono of much excitement , but ended
without bloodshed. IndUn Agent Hall cime
up from the agency thla forenoon and drove
out to where the half-bre-eds were fortified
In Klngan's house. He urged them not to
resist the cincsrs , saying Ihal all who lock
parl In the resistance were equally liable. Hed
Thunder , In reply , said the marshal could not
have the- men wan'ed ; that they were nU s'rong
enough without trcops. This afternoon ,
Michael Langen , one of the men for whom
warrants are out , came Into town and was
recognized by the marshal and arresled. Cltl-
zsns made strong cbjctlons to the marshal
holding Langen , claiming It would result In
an Immediate attack on the town. Marshal
Cronan decided the boldest course was the
best , and will send Ihe prisoner lo Rolla In
a buggy with two deputies.
Immediately on the arrest , a mounted
courier on Ihe watch In the brush near town ,
left for the half-breed camp. There was
great excitement en his arrival. The half-
breeds began dancing and preparing- their
ponies and bands started toward town several
times , but apparently were recalled by Iho
leaders. An Immediate attack seemed prob
able and the women and children here were
collected from the outlying houses. Agent
Hall then went to tha camp again. When he
first went in they were still much excited
and claimed he had promised them that no
arrests should be made that afternoon. Hall
told them he had promised that the marshal
would not altack hut not that If they came
Into town they would not be taken. It was
the duty of the marshal to serve Ihe war
rant It he found the man.

LINCOLN , M y 4. ( Sncl.V. ) Argument on
admUslblllty of the depository bond given by
the Capital National bank as evidence In the
case of the state against Hilt and his bonds
men was completed today at noon and the
court adjourned until 2 p. m. Monday. The
court reserved Its decision on the Important
point Involved until that hour. It Is under
stood that the admission of this evidence
would prove a great gain for U.ie defense.
Mr. LambcrUon this morning sprung a
ccup by quollng from Ihe brief prepared by
the late T. M. Marquett and Attorney Ames ,
the latler now counsel for the defense , and
filed In the trial two years ago In Omaha , In
which It was set up that Hill had wrongfully
effected a conversion of the stale's funds
when ho placed Ihe money In Ihe Capllal Na-
llonal bank and accepted certificates of de
posit. Mr. Lamberlson , In continuing his ar
gument from yesterday's adjournment , said
that Attorney Ames had , In the present case ,
palpably b'altteil his posltlcn from the ono ho
previously occupied In the trial of the state
against Hl.l U\o years ago In Oninlui.
Counsel said that while Hartley , the present
treasurer , was disposed to waive his right of
action In this and In a previous case , ho
had not the right to waive the right of the
state to maintain an action In this case. Mr.
Lambcrtson urged thai In case the bond were
admitted in evidence , and In case a suit were
con.iiienced upon that depository bond , In his
opinion nothing could ever bo collected upon ,
oven If It were a good bond , because , as no
noney had bsen pul In Ihe bank , no conslder-
allen Incurred. He believed It would be Im
possible lo recover on lhat bond , even it every
surety were sound at the present day-
IJARTLRY'S ACTION NO UAR.
It had been claimed that Hartley had rati
fied Hill's deposit by checking against It. But
Hartley could not ratify what Hill had no
right to do. The fictitious credit in a rotten
jank was not money , as recognized by the
state. Hartley had no right to take a certifi
cate of deposit from Hill. The Intent of the
depository law was that Che money of the
state should bo In the treasury , and then
; hat the different banks designated as deposi
tories should come In and bid for it. It had
jeen claimed that had Hartley drawn out the
S2S5.000 on the cerllflcale he would , under the
depository law , have been compelled to put
It all back -again. Mr. LambjrUon held dif
ferently. He could have used It In paying
running expenses of t'ne ' state. He could
lave held It a reasonable tlni3 anJ asked ott.er
banks to have come In and bid on It. It
could not be loaned for less than 3 per cent ,
It could bo placed at more than that If banks
had bid mere.
It has he-en claimed by the defense that
the state could sue on the deposllory bond.
The counsel doubled lhat. even were the
bond good. Ths bondsmen , he contended ,
were not responsible for an old debt of Ihe
bank. Had the money , actual money , been
put in the bank. Hartley could have taken It
DUt the next day and protected the state.
Hut the bank had been insolvent and rotten
for a long period prior to the covenant of
the bondsmen. Hartley , In getting out of
It what he could , $49,000 , had broken the
bank. Counsel did not believe a dollar could
have been recovered from the bondsmen for
this reason. Hill had been juggling with
credits Instead ot cash.
"Now , " said Mr. Lambertson , "would be
a good llmo for Ihls court to rebuke the prac
tice of Investing the mouey of the Stale
university and for the penitentiary In rotten
banks on a band given by rotten bondsmen. "
Out of the $1,500,000 alleged to have been
turned over to Hartley by Hill , $500.000 had
been In school funds. It Is presumable that
at least $75,000 ot the $ ! > 3G,000 lost In the
bank was school money , although there was
no separate record kept of that fund as hav
ing been deposited. ICach fund in the treas
ury should have been kept separate , so far
as It related Its deposit In banks.
Mr. Lambcrtson closed his argument on
the admission of the depository bond In evi
dence at 10 a. m. , and the court held a short
consultation. Seven attorneys had spoken at
length upon the question , Judge Wakeley
and Mr. Lambertson for the slate , and
Messrs. Ames , Wheedon , Broady , Cowln and
Rlnaker for the defense. The court an
nounced that It would not render a decision
upon the question of admitting the depos
itory bond of the Capital National bank In
evidence until .Monday afternoon.
DISCUSSING HILL'S BOND.
Judge Wakeloy occupied some time In dis
cussing Ihe liability ot Hill on hla ofilclal
bond as state treasurer. The counsel claimed
that , while Hill had not lechlnaclly affixed
his name lo Ihe bottom of Ihe document , he
had , wllh his own hand , written In his name
In several places in the body ot the bond ,
and executed It as his bond. Judge Wakeley
quoted authorities to show thai , under the
common law. Hill's bond was complete and
binding on all his sureties.
Counsel hold , from what he had found In
the law reports which he quoted , that bonds
men could hold a principal and recover from
him , if solvent , even though Iho principal
did not sign the bend. Upon the several de
cisions quoted , counsel said thai Ihe state
rested Its case on this one point , Ihe absence
of Hill's signature to the bond. The bonds
men were In nowise Injured. The absence ot
his signature did not release Hill's liability
to the bondsmen , and , therefore , It should
not release him , as a principal , from the
liability on the bond in question.
Judge Wakeley said he might , perhaps , ba
anticipating evidence to be submitted in the
future , but he was convlced thai when Ihey
placed witnesses on the stand to show that
they had any knowledge of Hill's failure to
sign the bond. It would be a most humiliat
ing failure. When they should call Gov
ernor Thayer and ask him If he had any
knowledge of a prlcale understanding
whereby Hill was not to sign the bond , what
would his answer be ? It could be easily an
ticipated.
Reverting again to the details of the bond
In question. Judge Wakeley read a decision
to the effect that a note reading , "I , J. S. ,
promise to pay , etc. , " was as binding as one
written , "I promise to pay , etc. , " and signed
"J. S. "
Judge Wakeley completed his argument
upon the validity of Hill's bond , and the
court adjourned unlll Monday afternoon.

After protruding in a frightful manner, she was carried to the home of her uncle, three miles north, where she died at 3 o'clock in great agony. Henry Koster, aged 3, had his arm broken and was injured internally, but he still lives.
HURON, S. D., May 4. During a rain storm yesterday, a cyclone started at Cana Creek, about nine miles south of Huron, and, poking in a westerly direction, took half the roof off Martin Haume's house, carrying it half a mile. A barn was also blown away. The timbers were scattered over the prairie.
ST. LOUIS: SEVENTH STREET NEWS.
Fortified Into an Unusual Yellow Line and In a Broadway (maintained Work).
SIOUX CITY, May 4. (Special Telegram.) A report from Sioux Center to the Tribune says: The reports of the severe wind storm that visited this vicinity yesterday are not exaggerated. Fifteen people were killed instantly and several more fatalities will probably be the outcome of the severe injuries received from the flying debris and overturned dwellings.
The storm started at 3:15 p.m. about three and one-half miles northeast of Ireton. It seemed to those who saw it approaching that the clouds gathered into one immense funnel. In a few moments, everything was whirling in the air. To those who saw it from the east side, the clouds seemed to rise and then beat down with tremendous energy.
A sharp shower started simultaneously with the wind. It dampened the blinding dust and made a muddy mixture, which adhered to the southwest side of everything in the path of the storm.
The storm maintained its path for fifteen miles in a northeast direction, cutting a swath about half a mile wide.
This community is thrown into great grief over the disaster. The council held a special meeting this morning, presided over by Mayor Hobey. It was decided that it would be necessary to raise $12,000 to relieve the distress. This afternoon, the bodies of Mrs. John Koster and child, Mrs. Anna Postma, the 4-year-old daughter of Louis Verhof, and the 10-month-old baby of Mrs. L. Wines will be given a public funeral. The business houses will be closed from 2 till 5 o'clock.
The list of dead is as follows:
GEORGE MARSDEN, school teacher.
ANNA MARSDEN, school teacher.
MRS. JOHN KOSTER.
ALICE KOSTER, 8 years old.

Four People Killed and Several Injured by Railining.
AURORA, Ill., May 4. The village of St. Charles was visited by a cyclone today with fatal results. The old stone post office building, standing on the east side of Main street, occupied by Mrs. Church as a millinery store, was blown down, and Mr. Church was killed. Two young ladies had apartments in the building, and one of them, who is missing, is supposed to be in the ruins. The other, Miss Augusta Anderson, was killed. The falling walls caught and killed a passing horse, and the driver was seriously injured. Two other men were struck by flying timbers and were quite badly hurt. It is reported several other persons about town received injuries more or less serious. A man named Luther Causton had one leg and one arm broken. Andrew Johnson of Elgin had his back broken.
The killed are: Mrs. Hattie E. Church, St. Charles; Miss Augusta Anderson, St. Charles; Charles Johnson, St. Charles; Joseph Thompson, St. Charles.
Later, Luke Causton died tonight. The men who were killed had stopped at the side of the Osgood building and were crouching in a group to escape the fury of the passing storm, when the wall toppled over upon them. It is thought another man is in the ruins. The building was a substantial structure, but the force of the falling wall utterly demolished it. The unknown man from Geneva is so badly injured that he is unable to make any statement.

It crossed the Chicago Great Western tracks near Orilla and interrupted telegraphic communication. No definite reports of extensive loss of property or of life have been received. A hard wind storm struck Des Moines. It was accompanied by electrical manifestations, which created havoc with the local telephone and telegraph service. The managers of the electric street railway had been warned by telegrams from Omaha and Sioux City, and stopped traffic and interrupted their circuits.
The wind in Des Moines damaged several small buildings, but the loss will not be great. A heavy rain began to fall at the time and continued until an early hour this morning.
Everett Arnold, aged 18, was struck by lightning and killed at Creston. The storm there was the most severe for years.
BOONE, Ia., May 4. (Special Telegram.) During a heavy wind and rain storm at 10 last night, half a dozen plate glass windows in the city were blown in and smashed to fragments.

CHICAGO, May 4. A fierce and sudden quail swept over the lake this afternoon, filling the air with a sense of anticipation. Across the water, hundreds of pleasure boats were spotted, some of them far from shore. The life-saving crew hurried out, but could find no capsized boats nor any trace of the drowning stories that had been circulating. The only evidence of danger was the narrow escape some of the boats had, but all managed to get safely past the breakwater.
DES MOINES, May 4. A terrible rain fell in this section this afternoon, the precipitation being seven-tenths of an inch in less than twenty minutes. Farmers are much relieved, as the rain was a welcome respite after a prolonged dry spell.
SIOUX CITY, May 4. At Seymour, lightning struck the home of John Kitchen, killing him and seriously injuring his wife.
COLUMBUS, May 4. The joint convention of miners and operators adjourned without fixing the price of mining. Although there was only a difference of 9 cents between the propositions of the miners and operators, neither side was willing to make any concessions. A lockout now seems probable, as the operators say they cannot operate their mines and pay over 51 cents. They claim they cannot compete for lake trade against the Pittsburgh district at the rate proposed by the miners. About 24,000 miners in the state suspended work May 1 pending negotiations. The operators will probably quietly await the end of the Pittsburgh strike, and in the event of a failure to adjust the differences, there will be a lockout. The operators, it appears, have anticipated a suspension and a month's stock of coal has been accumulated.
HARRISON, Va., May 4. In accordance with orders from Richmond, the following military companies passed through here this morning, en route to Graham, to Major Simon, chief of artillery: Two detachments of the Richmond Howitzers, with two field guns and 5,000 rounds of ammunition; Monticello Guards: of Charlotte's 1st and Lynchburg Home Guards. They were joined by the Harrison Light Infantry and Machine Works Guards and it is understood that the Jeff Davis Lights of Salem and the military company at Radford would get aboard the train on its arrival at the above-named places. All of the military carried three days' rations. The recipients of the Norfolk & Western road have had notice of the recent injunction granted by Judge Jackson, intended for use in the coal region. They state that the company is in the hands of United States courts and warn all persons at their peril not to interfere with the property.
GALESBURG, Ill., May 4. The Interstate Oratorical Association has elected H.C. Hals, Doane College, Nebraska, president; D.E. Blair, Wesleyan University, Kansas, vice president; S.L. McCump, Ohio University, secretary and treasurer. A charge of plagiarism was sustained against A.L. Hopkins of Lake Forest University, who won first prize in 1893, and he was removed from first place. It was given to John Kemball of Beloit College, now of Nashua, N.H. The State Normal School of Kansas was excluded from the association. The next oratorical contest will be held in Topeka, Kan.
ST. JOSEPH, May 4. The desperado who was wounded in the fight with officers on the Missouri River bridge Wednesday afternoon died at the city hospital this morning before he could reveal his identity. The man died, he said his name was William Law, and that his home was at Williamsburg, Pa. This is not believed, however, as he cautioned his companion not to reveal his identity. Richard Itau, the boy shot by the dead man, is sinking and his death is hourly expected.
UNION, Mo., May 4. After the examination of one witness today as to the sanity of Millionaire Guestrow, charged with the murder of his wife and child, the defense rested its case. At the conclusion of this testimony, court adjourned until Monday, when the state will begin to present its case. Despite the defendant's threat last night that he would appear on the stand and testify in his own behalf, he made no attempt to create a scene in the courtroom, as was expected he would.
WELCH, W.Va., May 4.-Over 300 troops from Richmond, Danville, Lynchburg and Charlotte's ville are at Graham tonight awaiting orders to quell any disturbances that may arise in the Prince Charles field between the miners now working for the Southwest company and the strikers. They have with them two field guns. All is quiet, but it is impossible to say what a meeting of 10,000 strikers and the men now working at Prince Charles will result in tomorrow.
ATLANTA, Tex., May 4. William H. Waddle yesterday gave some deadly poison to his three children, aged from 6 to 10 years, and then took a dose himself, evidently with suicidal intent. The children all died in a few minutes. Waddle is alive, but apparently unconscious and unable to make any statement. His wife died a few months ago, and it is believed her loss is the direct cause for his awful act.
LONDON, May 4. Oscar Wilde will be liberated on Monday, or when the ball is found, the court before which his lawyers applied having agreed to accept his promissory bond in $12,500 and two sureties in $6,250 each.

HUNTINGTON, May 4. Owing to the strike in the Flat Top coal fields, ten freight trains and several hundred men who were working in the various yards along the Kenora division of the Norfolk & Western road were laid off this morning.

BAYARD'S WORK EFFECTIVE
Stand Taken by the United States Settled the Nicaragua Affair
SALVADOR MEDINA HAD LITTLE INFLUENCE
Simply Used in a Means of Formal Communication Health the British Foreign Portfolio In
Instructions
WASHINGTON, May 4. It Is stated by
officials of the diplomatic corps who have
been directly concerned in the British-Nicaraguan imbroglio that a misapprehension exists
as to the part taken by the United States
in bringing about the agreement reached. Some recent cables to this country from
Concord have sought to convey the impression that Senor Medina, the Salvadoran
minister, effected the settlement. It Is
recognized as an established fact by those
amiable with the correspondence that the
good offices of the State department exerted
in no uncertain way through Ambassador
Bayard brought about the agreement. It was
deemed advisable, however, that Senor Medina
should be the medium of formal communication,
although it is said his efforts would not have brought appreciable results
had they not been supplemented by Mr.
Bayard's.

Herbert Settles Their
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Secretary Herbert has finally settled the dispute in the
board of naval bureau chiefs over the designs of the light-draft gunboats authorized
to be built by the last congress. Four members of the board reported in favor of twin
screw boats, without sails, while two members held to the design prepared by the
construction bureau, which contemplated
single-screw, full sail-powered vessels. The
secretary has decided to build boats of each
type, four with full sail power and single
screws, and two with twin screws and
without sail power, having only two signaling masts. Work on the plans will be
pushed, as it is expected the advertisements
for proposals will be issued in about a

commission.

IVOIlKI) CLARKSON. IVIY VILLAGE
Chicago Free Silver Democratic Elevation
Chicago, May 4. President Grover Cleveland and Senator John M. Palmer each received a "raucous" at the hands of ex-Congressman Ryan of Nebraska at the democratic free silver county convention today, and as each of them was pulled over the coals delegates signified their approval by round after round of applause. Comptroller of the Currency Eckerts was also the target for Mr. Ryan's arrows, and his thrusts were strains regarded as center hits by the throngs, as they yelled with delight. The convention adopted a 16 to 1 platform outright and elected delegates to the Springfield convention.
Ex-Judge S. P. McConnell was made temporary chairman. He said during his speech: "The president of the United States, the man who was elected by democratic franchise, has repudiated the democratic party. Applause and cries of "right." We resist him. (Applause.) We stand on the platform of 1882. We are in favor of the restoration of silver as we declared then. Applause." He then scored Senator Palmer for his attitude on the money question and was wildly cheered at the conclusion of his remarks.
Ex-Congressman Ryan came next. He said in part: "We are not here to denounce the president of the United States. We are not here because we love him less, but because we love our countrymen more. (Applause.) We are not here to say anything against the rights of individual opinion, either in the chief executive or in the humblest citizen, but we are here to protest against language used in a letter written by Grover Cleveland and published in this morning's papers, indicating that it is indecent for a man to hold office under this administration without bowing to the dictatorship of the dollar. This is the first official declaration, my friends, that to hold office under this administration, which forbade the democrats from interfering in politics to defeat a republican, is the first announcement that democratic office-holding depends on the willingness to fight democrats when they could not fight republicans." (Applause.)
He then paid his respects to Senator Palmer, declaring that his power as a leader had gone and that he had no following among the democrats.
The platform, declaring in favor of silver at 16 to 1 was then read and adopted, twenty-four votes being cast against it.
Three hundred democrats were present at the banquet of the Waabunsee club tonight when the monetary question was discussed from the sound money standpoint. President Vincent, in his opening remarks, declared flatly against free silver and was greeted with loud applause. Senator John M. Palmer made an extemporaneous speech on "Democracy and Money" and got back in vigorous fashion at the free silver democrats who denounced him and his attitude on the money question at the convention this morning.
Prof. J. L. Laughlin of Chicago University followed, with a talk on "Silver and Prices." Richard W. Knott, proprietor of the Louisville Evening Post, spoke at length on "Currency and Commerce." Sigurd Zelmer of Chicago closed the list of speakers with his address on "Honesty and Currency." Much enthusiasm was manifested at the banquet and every remark against free silver was applauded.
MEMPHIS, May 5. W. J. Crawford, chairman of the committee on arrangements for the sound money convention which is to meet in this city May 22, has received from Secretary Carlisle his acceptance of an invitation to address the gathering on the date mentioned. In the course of his letter, Secretary Carlisle says: "The importance of the subjects to be considered at the proposed convention justifies the hope and belief that the people in all parts of the South will take advantage of the opportunity to be fully represented in its deliberations by the ablest and most trusted citizens. While the country is deeply interested in the preservation of a sound currency, no part of it, in my opinion, would be more injured than the South by the adoption of a depreciated and fluctuating standard of value. Believing that a temporary and intelligent discussion is all that will be required to secure a correct popular decision, I accept your kind invitation and will endeavor to contribute my share toward the accomplishment of this result."
Inform the World He Had No Force
To Convince Them to Change Their Men Wanted.
ST. PAUL, May 4. A St. John, N.D., special to the Pioneer-Press says: The day has been one of much excitement, but ended without bloodshed. Marshal Hall came up from the agency this forenoon and drove out to where the half-breeds were fortified in Kingan's house. He urged them not to resist the forces, saying that all who took part in the resistance were equally liable. The half-breeds, in reply, said the marshal could not have the men wanted; that they were strong enough without troops. This afternoon, Michael Langen, one of the men for whom warrants are out, came into town and was recognized by the marshal and arrested. Citizens made strong objections to the marshal holding Langen, claiming it would result in an immediate attack on the town. Marshal Cronan decided the boldest course was the best, and will send the prisoner to Rolla in a buggy with two deputies.
Immediately on the arrest, a mounted courier on the watch in the brush near town, left for the half-breed camp. There was great excitement on his arrival. The half-breeds began dancing and preparing their ponies and bands started toward town several times, but apparently were recalled by the leaders. An immediate attack seemed probable and the women and children here were collected from the outlying houses. Agent Hall then went to the camp again. When he first went in, they were still much excited and claimed he had promised them that no arrests should be made that afternoon. Hall told them he had promised that the marshal would not attack but not that if they came into town they would not be taken. It was the duty of the marshal to serve the warrant if he found the man.
A Winnipeg special to the Globe says: The Manitoba dragoons, the Ninth rifles, the Winnipeg field battery, and the Royal Canadian dragoons (regulars) have been notified to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to Turtle Mountain, to prevent the Indians and half-breeds from crossing the boundary. Squaws and children are already crossing. There is great activity in military circles tonight.
Will Protect Anyone Who Wants to Work.
RICHMOND, May 4. According to reports received at the governor's office, there has been an outbreak yet in the Pocahontas mining region. The governor and General Phillips, feeling anxious, however, they sat up last night receiving and transmitting telegrams, in explaining his orders calling out the militia, Governor Offerall stated today that he was determined the striking miners from West Virginia should not be allowed to overawe and force the Pocahontas miners, who seem desirous of continuing at work, to leave their jobs.
Keeps the Law in Kansas.
MILWAUKEE, May 4. Judge Seaman of the United States court today granted a permanent injunction restraining Dr. Leslie K. Keeley from revoking the formula of what is known as "the Keeley double chloride of gold remedies." The action was brought by the Vicksburg Keeley Institute company against the Dwight company.
Granting the order will place the Keeley company in a peculiar position, as Dr. Keeley has been ordered by Judge Myers of the state court at Lansing, Kan., to appear and make known the formula.
Schoolgirls Strike in Elegy.
HOUGHTON, Mich., May 4. The high school class of 1886 will strike in a body Monday morning. Principal Keeeler expelled one member for asking him to resign, and the balance of the class will go out.

First Editorial of "The Atlanta Constitution" today concerns the striking miners and the government's role in the situation.
ST. LOUIS, May 4.—The first president of the St. Louis Cotton exchange, Major Lee R. Shryock, died today at the age of 81. News of his death was received by wire from New York City until about 11:30 a.m. Major Shryock was a native of St. Louis, being a partner of U. S. Rawland.
TAKEN UNDER ADVISEMENT
Arguments on the Mostnor Bend in the Hill Case Concluded.
LAMBERTSON SPRINGS A LITTLE SURPRISE
Introduces a brief limiting that Mr. Ames Held in District Court Two Years Ago dealing with the Capital National Bank Antrim Pitts, the tournament Evidence,
LINCOLN, May 4. (Special.) Argument on the admissibility of the depository bond given by the Capital National bank as evidence in the case of the state against Hill and his bondsmen was completed today at noon and the court adjourned until 2 p.m. Monday. The court reserved its decision on the important point involved until that hour. It is understood that the admission of this evidence would prove a great gain for the defense.
Mr. Lamberson this morning sprung a coup by quoting from the brief prepared by the late T. M. Marquett and Attorney Ames, the latter now counsel for the defense, and filed in the trial two years ago in Omaha, in which it was set up that Hill had wrongfully affected a conversion of the state's funds when he placed the money in the Capital National bank and accepted certificates of deposit. Mr. Lamberson, in continuing his argument from yesterday's adjournment, said that Attorney Ames had, in the present case, palpably changed his position from the one he previously occupied in the trial of the state against Hill two years ago in Omaha.
Counsel said that while Hartley, the present treasurer, was disposed to waive his right of action in this and in a previous case, he had not the right to waive the right of the state to maintain an action in this case. Mr. Lamberson urged that in case the bond were admitted in evidence, and in case a suit were commenced upon that depository bond, in his opinion nothing could ever be collected upon, even if it were a good bond, because, as no money had been put in the bank, no consideration had been incurred. He believed it would be impossible to recover on that bond, even if every surety were sound at the present day.
HARTLEY'S ACTION NO BAR.
It had been claimed that Hartley had ratified Hill's deposit by checking against it. But Hartley could not ratify what Hill had no right to do. The fictitious credit in a rotten bank was not money, as recognized by the state. Hartley had no right to take a certificate of deposit from Hill. The intent of the depository law was that the money of the state should be in the treasury, and then that the different banks designated as depositories should come in and bid for it. It had been claimed that had Hartley drawn out the $285,000 on the certificate he would, under the depository law, have been compelled to put it all back again. Mr. Lamberson held differently. He could have used it in paying the running expenses of the state. He could have held it a reasonable time and asked other banks to have come in and bid on it. It could not be loaned for less than 3 percent, it could be placed at more than that if banks had bid more.
It has been claimed by the defense that the state could sue on the depository bond. The counsel denied that, even were the bond good. The sureties, he contended, were not responsible for an old debt of the bank. Had the money, actual money, been put in the bank, Hartley could have taken it out the next day and protected the state. But the bank had been insolvent and rotten for a long period prior to the covenant of the bondsmen. Hartley, in getting out of it what he could, $49,000, had broken the bank. Counsel did not believe a dollar could have been recovered from the bondsmen for this reason. Hill had been juggling with credits instead of cash.
"Now," said Mr. Lamberson, "would be a good time for this court to rebuke the practice of investing the money of the State university and for the penitentiary in rotten banks on a bond given by rotten bondsmen." Out of the $1,500,000 alleged to have been turned over to Hartley by Hill, $500,000 had been in school funds. It is presumable that at least $75,000 of the $285,000 lost in the bank was school money, although there was no separate record kept of that fund as having been deposited. Each fund in the treasury should have been kept separate, so far as it related to its deposit in banks.
Mr. Lamberson closed his argument on the admission of the depository bond in evidence at 10 a.m., and the court held a short consultation. Seven attorneys had spoken at length upon the question, Judge Wakefield and Mr. Lamberson for the state, and Messrs. Ames, Wheeden, Broady, Cowlin, and Rinaker for the defense. The court announced that it would not render a decision upon the question of admitting the depository bond of the Capital National bank in evidence until Monday afternoon.
DISCUSSING HILL'S BOND.
Judge Wakefield occupied some time in discussing the liability of Hill on his official bond as state treasurer. The counsel claimed that, while Hill had not technically affixed his name to the bottom of the document, he had, with his own hand, written in his name in several places in the body of the bond, and executed it as his bond. Judge Wakefield quoted authorities to show that, under the common law, Hill's bond was complete and binding on all his sureties.
Counsel held, from what he had found in the law reports which he quoted, that bondsmen could hold a principal and recover from him, if solvent, even though the principal did not sign the bond. Upon the several decisions quoted, counsel said that the state rested its case on this one point, the absence of Hill's signature to the bond. The bondsmen were in no wise injured. The absence of his signature did not release Hill's liability to the bondsmen, and, therefore, it should not release him, as a principal, from the liability on the bond in question.
Judge Wakefield said he might, perhaps, be anticipating evidence to be submitted in the future, but he was convinced that when they placed witnesses on the stand to show that they had any knowledge of Hill's failure to sign the bond, it would be a most humiliating failure. When they should call Governor Thayer and ask him if he had any knowledge of a prior understanding whereby Hill was not to sign the bond, what would his answer be? It could be easily anticipated.
Reverting again to the details of the bond in question, Judge Wakefield read a decision to the effect that a note reading, "I, J. S., promise to pay, etc.", was as binding as one written, "I promise to pay, etc.", and signed "J. S." Judge Wakefield completed his argument upon the validity of Hill's bond, and the court adjourned until Monday afternoon.

Edits, w. wits: Charles with Mannequin of County
Kearney, Neb. May 4. (Special Telegram.) Some time ago S. W. Hesse, editor of the Kearney Journal, got a hit of the old and uncalled-for county warrants in the county clerk's office and since then the county treasurer has been cashing a great many. Yesterday a party called for one of the advertised warrants, but the clerk could not find it, and an investigation showed that it had been cashed, and also a great many others, aggregating over $250. It was also discovered that the warrants had been stamped with a fraudulent county seal, and the warrants had not been receipted for except in a few cases, where the stub had been receipted for by Reese, and a close inspection made the county clerk believe the order was a forgery. He accordingly swore out two warrants for Reese, one charging him with grand larceny and the other with forgery.
Reese was released on bail, but this afternoon he was arrested for raising some of the warrants, as it was discovered that warrants he had presented had been raised nearly $100. Reese is now the city assessor and has always borne a good reputation. The county clerk says he has abundant proof of his guilt.

Object to Having Smallpox Sent from the City Into the Country.
CINCINNATI, May 4. The Enquirer's special from Winchester, Ky., says: A pest house riot broke out today. A colored prisoner in the county jail has smallpox. Today lumber was secured and carpenters put to work on a pest house four miles out. The farmers turned out in masse, armed with rifles. The carpenters had almost completed the pest house before the mob gathered.
The citizens were stationed along all roads leading from Winchester to the pest house. The sheriff came out to protect the carpenters with a large posse and was driven back into town by 200 armed men. Tonight the pest house was burned, and the farmers on all sides of the town are guarding the roads in anticipation that the smallpox prisoner may be taken through their neighborhood to some obscure locality. They insist that they propose to stop shipping contagious cases from the towns to the country districts.
Meantime, the sheriff, whose residence is in the jail, has his smallpox prisoners on his hands, and cannot get out of town in any direction.
"Turn About is Fair Play."
LEXINGTON, May 4. The commonwealth's testimony in the Shippee trial was completed today. Evidence for the defense begins on Monday. Joe Devlin testified that Shippee said to him he had tried to break away from Letitia Brown, but if her husband gave him trouble, he intended to kill him. Mrs. Brown testified as to her intimacy with Shippee after her marriage to Brown, as well as before marriage. As Shippee is white and the Browns colored, the negroes insist that Shippee should be tried the same as if a colored man had intruded into a white man's home. Brown found Shippee at the former's home with Letitia Brown. In the light that followed, Shippee killed Brown. The negroes were denied representation on the jury and are greatly aggrieved over the case.

LINCOLN, May 4. (Special.) The investigation of Dr. Hay's management of the Lincoln Insane asylum was continued today before Governor Holcomb. The witnesses examined were Dr. Hay, in his own behalf, and inmates Dan Bride, Belle Hubbard, and Miss Josie James. The latter testified to the ability of Dr. Hay as a superintendent of an asylum for the insane. They pronounced him eminently fitted for the position.
Dr. Hay was represented by his attorney, J. R. Webster. The superintendent had with him a number of books and vouchers from which he attempted to rebut the charge of extravagance laid against him by the governor. To his own satisfaction, he showed that the financial conduct of the institution was fully up to the standard of those of other states.
The newly appointed steward, Eleanor C. Reynolds, was around the capital building today. She said to a Bee reporter that things were moving smoothly at the asylum since she had assumed charge. May 1.

MUST REGISTER THE BONDS.
The supreme court has overruled the demurrer to the application and allowed the writ in the case of State of Rel., J. C. Holzman et al. against Eugene Moore. This is the case in which State Auditor Moore refused to register some $20,000 worth of bonds voted to take up certain indebtedness of Boyd County. The relators thereupon asked for a writ of mandamus to compel the auditor to register the same. Today the writ was allowed. The objection urged by the state auditor against registering the bonds was that they were not dated properly.
The Paxton & Hershey Irrigating Canal and Land Company, appellant, against Farmers and Merchants Irrigating Land Company, came up to the supreme court today on appeal. The appellants sought to restrain the appellees in the court below from crossing their land with irrigation ditches, but under the law of eminent domain, the court held that they had a perfect right to do so. The case involves some 10,000 acres of land along the North Platte river. The Farmers and Merchants Irrigating Land Company claims that some 10,000 acres of land would not be reached by water unless they were permitted to cross this land of the Paxton company.
LOUIS MILLIC: COMMITS SUICIDE
Young Son of a Prominent Wine Citizen Found Dead.
WAYNE, Neb., May 4. (Special Telegram.) About 1 o'clock, R. P. Hill, one of Wayne's most respected citizens and a prominent lumber dealer, ascended to the loft of his barn to get some hay and the sight that met his gaze was terrible. The body of his son, Louis T., one of the highly respected young men of the city, was suspended between the roof and the hay loft floor.
The deed was accomplished by attaching a line to the rafters and placing it around his neck, with but a single knot, he then leaped off the beam, his feet barely touching the floor. For a number of months the young man has been in ill health, and had become despondent. He had been dead two or three hours when the body was discovered.
Spring is the season for cleansing and renewing the blood. During the winter, it has crept sluggishly through the veins, gathering impurities from indoor air, from fatty substances in the food, and from many other sources.
The great blood purifying medicine especially prepared to do this work is Hood's Sarsaparilla. It cleanses, refreshes, and renews the whole man.
Spring is the season for new life, new hope, new ambitions. Spring showers are washing away the impurities which have gathered in winter, and are making ready the earth for the flowers of spring and summer.
Spring is the season for cleansing and renewing the blood. During the winter, it has crept sluggishly through the veins, gathering impurities from indoor air, from fatty substances in the food, and from many other sources.
The foundation of good health is pure blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the great blood purifier. Head this:
"I cannot speak too highly of Hood's Sarsaparilla, as it has worked wonders in my case. I am 71 years of age and have been afflicted with salt rheum on my hands for a great many years. I tried many things to cure them but failed. My hands would crack open and bleed profusely, and the pain was terrible to bear. Since taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, the flesh has healed and the skin is as smooth as anyone's. I recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla as a reliable medicine and give it purity, strength, and rich results and always speak in its favor." D. CHASE, Swansea, Mass.
Cleanse your blood by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla for a spring medicine and it has done me a great deal of good. It is the best medicine I have ever took. N. H. H., Milton, New Hampshire.
When you decide to take Hood's Sarsaparilla, do not be induced to buy any other instead. Remember, it is the only true blood purifier. Prominently in the public eye today. | 48 |

PNCY WINS BY ONE RUN
Made Nine In the Ilrat Inning and Omaha
Couldn't Catch Up.
COLONEL CARRIS.VS OPENING EFFORT
He Wm Ilnmmcrrd All the Wny Ilotrn the
Llit nnil Then Itcmavrd Itotnlls of
Gumo thut Win Kurd
Work.
A good Saturday afternoon crowd witnessed
ihe second game between Omatn and Qulncy ,
which the latter won by the margin of a
Ingle run , after a hot and scrappy battle.
There wore- barrels of enthusiasm on tap ,
nnd the summer air was kept quavering with
cheers. It was a peculiar fight , Inasmuch as
Old Hutch's boys fairly outbattcd and outplayed -
played their country cousins , and yet lost
the game. All the luck seemed to be with
the visitors , nnd , Btrango as It may stem ,
they earned their victory , and did It right
In the flnt Innings , batting the pbony-halred
Mr. Carrlsh until ho resembled a big pile of
calf's foot Jelly , and Cdptaln Hutch took a
big pair of tongs nnd lifted him out of the
box , presumably to save his life. Ignatius
Donnelly took his place , nnd came near
charing a like fate , and at the beginning of
the sixth big Amos Husle made his debut ,
end the farmers from over the Father of
Waters made but one mnro hit and no more
runs.
The Illlnolfans al'o changed pitchers , Kel-
lum retiring at the end of the third and Mc-
Qreavy taking his place. Doth were hit
hard and often , but It was not In the books
for Omaha to win. In fact , they never suc
ceeded In getting their noses In the lead.
The weather was showery , and time was
called twice while the clouds wept , but fin
ally the full nine Innings were played out.
Omaha , as usual , made a good start , scor
ing two runs. Ulrlch went to first on balls
nnd scored on Shaffer's hit , the latter reach
ing second on the throw In to catch the
nimble Grasshopper , nnd coming home a
moment later on I'etlo Lohmun's rattling
drive.
WARMED CAUHISH UP A D1T.
Then Drackett's brigade took a hand , and
maybe they didn't make the fur fly.
Carrlsh signalized his debut by soaking
Merles In the mldrlf { with the ball. Then
Major Strongarm picked up his sapling , nnd
It was seen by the cold , hard look In his ple-
like phiz that ho Intended to bust one of Col
onel Carrlsh's furniture \an curves wide
open.
The colonel was evidently Inclined to the
same belief , and ho cautiously bent his wil
lowy form for a herculean effort.
Armstrong kept his massive eye upon
him , and lifted tils tret menacingly.
The ball finally crawled through the am
bient , and Just before It reached the plate
there was a report like a fat man sitting
down on an Inflated paper sack , and the
astonished pigskin disappeared.
The next moment there was a rambling
crash heard coming from somewhere over lu
Council Bluffs.
It v > as the ball bringing up against the
back doer of the Ogdcn house.
Thcro was no rapturous applause at this ,
nnd nil the bouquets Mr. Armstrong re
ceived when ho came ho threw at himself.
Then Jack Farrell caught one of George's
slowest fast ones and it hopped over the
fence for a couple of cushions. McConnack
Jolted out a single , Daniel Iloland n pair , and
Hlckoy a solitaire. La Hocquo was gracious
enough to fly out to Ulrlch , but Peek-a-bco
nnd Kcllum nnd Mertea kept up the bom
bardment , the first two making singles and
Sandow a brace.
Here Carrlsh and Donnelly swapped places ,
nnd no sooner hnd Ignatius taken his posi
tion than Armstrong rapped him one In the
Jaw that netted first. Hut the agony was
about over. On Farrell's swat down to Old
Hutch he was neatly doubled up with Mr.
Strongnrm , Paddy Miles and Little Willie
O'Brien assisting the captln In the wondrous
achievement.
This rally with the stick was good for
nlno runs , and they were the means of wln-
n'ng ' the game.
The Omahas were game , however , and
scrapped along ns If they really meant to
pull the thing out at any hazards.
They foiled , although they came within a
single run of It , and would have tied the
score could Knslo have hit the side of a
church with a shotgun In the final Innings.
It opened up with the Quinces three In
His lead.
O'Brien was fired al first by n marvelous
plsfciip and throw of young Mr. Hlckey , but
Lei man welted President McGreavy for a
sack and Slagle for two of them , and Don
nelly brought both home with Its mate , nfter
Miles had fouled out to McConnack.
Then Iluslo came up to tie the score.
Ho couldn't have tied his shoe.
Ho struck out.

The flrsl Important game of cricket of the
season came off yesterday afternoon at the
club grounds.
The married members of the Omaha
Cricket club , who have hitherto always
proved too much for the unmarried mem-
b ° rs , had the tables turned on them to
the tune of 49 to 33.
For the victorious bachelors the batting
of Mes rs. Taylor , W. R. Vnughnn nnd
C. H. Young were nmong the features of
the game , nnd mainly helped to win the
mntch. The first named gentleman's bit
ting nnd Mr. W. R Vnughnn's bowling nte
especially worthy of mention
For the benedicts the bowling of O. 11.
Vaughan was In perfect keeping with his
last year's form , while the batting of
Messrs. John Francis and Frank Hlldltch
wns of the highest order.
Messrs McPhcrson nnd Marshall started
In well , but before their shoulders had be
come thoroughly loosened they were dis
missed for five rim each.
The result of Ihe match was a plea ant
surprise for Ihe winning side , while ns re
gards the benedicts , nllhough for these , too ,
the outcome of the gnme wns n surprise , It
could scnrcelj be termed a pleasant one
It Is safe to sav that when these two ag
gregations meet again there will be some
fur flying.
Mr J. F. Wilson's umpiring wns highly
commended , ns he Is perfectly fair , while
his knowledge of the rules of the game Is
very accurate. Scoie :

LOUISVILLE , May 4. There will only be
five starters In the Derby Monday. While
taking jils work this morning Potsdam broke
down nnd consequently will not start. While
not looked upon as a dangerous candidate ,
Potsdam's trials at Lexington a week ago
had Induced Colonel Swlgert to make the
May payment on him , which he did a few
days ago.
Halma , Galen d'Or and Potsdam arrived
yesterday and all of the Kentucky
Derby starters nro now ready for the D rby
on Monday. The other three- are Uasso , Cura
tor and Laureate. A fortnight ago It looked
like a walkover for Laureate with two great
victories to his credit. Then came his defeat ,
followed by the victories of Halma and the
track scorching work of Basso and Curator.
The kaleidoscope had shifted from n one-
horse race , nnl the Kentucky Derby developed
Into what promises to be the best contest of
that classic event In ten years.
Halma will lie the favorite because of his
two recent victories at Lexington , but
-.aureate will bo close at his heels In the
ling , followed by Basso and Curator In
he order named. Galen d'Or has few fol-
ovvcrs.
It Is expected the Derby will be vvltnesEcJ

PENCY WINS BY ONE RUN
Made Nine In the First Inning and Omaha Couldn't Catch Up.
COLONEL CARRIS OPENING EFFORT
He Was Smothered All the Way Home by the Home Team's Best Pitchers.
A good Saturday afternoon crowd witnessed the second game between Omaha and Quincy, which the latter won by the margin of a single run, after a hot and scrappy battle. There were barrels of enthusiasm on tap, and the summer air was kept quivering with cheers. It was a peculiar fight, inasmuch as Old Hutch's boys fairly outbatted and outplayed their country cousins, and yet lost the game. All the luck seemed to be with the visitors, and, strangely as it may seem, they earned their victory, and did it right. In the first Innings, batting the pony-haired Mr. Carrish until he resembled a big pile of calf's foot jelly, and Captain Hutch took a big pair of tongs and lifted him out of the box, presumably to save his life. Ignatius Donnelly took his place, and came near sharing a like fate, and at the beginning of the sixth, big Amos Husle made his debut, and the farmers from over the Father of Waters made but one more hit and no more runs.
The Illinoisans also changed pitchers, Kellogg retiring at the end of the third and McGreavy taking his place. Both were hit hard and often, but it was not in the books for Omaha to win. In fact, they never succeeded in getting their noses in the lead. The weather was showery, and time was called twice while the clouds wept, but finally the full nine Innings were played out. Omaha, as usual, made a good start, scoring two runs. Ulrich went to first on balls and scored on Shaffer's hit, the latter reaching second on the throw into catch the nimble Grasshopper, and coming home a moment later on Pete Lehman's rattling drive.
WARMED CARRISH UP A BIT.
Then Drackett's brigade took a hand, and maybe they didn't make the fur fly. Carrish signified his debut by soaking Merles in the middle with the ball. Then Major Strongarm picked up his sapling, and it was seen by the cold, hard look in his pleasant phiz that he intended to bust one of Colonel Carrish's furniture with curves wide open.
The colonel was evidently inclined to the same belief, and he cautiously bent his willowy form for a herculean effort. Armstrong kept his massive eye upon him, and lifted his bat menacingly. The ball finally crawled through the ambience, and just before it reached the plate there was a report like a fat man sitting down on an inflated paper sack, and the astonished pigskin disappeared.
The next moment there was a rambling crash heard coming from somewhere over in Council Bluffs.
It was the ball bringing up against the back door of the Ogden house.
There was no rapturous applause at this, and all the bouquets Mr. Armstrong received when he came in, he threw at himself. Then Jack Farrell caught one of George's slowest fast ones and it hopped over the fence for a couple of cushions. McCormack jolted out a single, Daniel Holland a pair, and Hickey a solitaire. LaHocque was gracious enough to fly out to Ulrich, but Peek-a-boo and Kellogg and Mertes kept up the bombardment, the first two making singles and Sandow a brace.
Here Carrish and Donnelly swapped places, and no sooner had Ignatius taken his position than Armstrong rapped him one in the jaw that netted first. But the agony was about over. On Farrell's swat down to Old Hutch he was neatly doubled up with Mr. Strongarm, Paddy Miles and Little Willie O'Brien assisting the captain in the wondrous achievement.
This rally with the stick was good for nine runs, and they were the means of winning the game.
The Omahas were game, however, and scrapped along as if they really meant to pull the thing out at any hazards. They failed, although they came within a single run of it, and would have tied the score could Kelslo have hit the side of a church with a shotgun in the final Innings.
It opened up with the Quinces three in the lead.
O'Brien was fired at first by a marvelous play and throw of young Mr. Hickey, but Lemon welded President McGreavy for a sack and Slagle for two of them, and Donnelly brought both home with its mate, after Miles had fouled out to McCormack.
Then Hickey came up to tie the score.
He couldn't have tied his shoe.
He struck out.

LINCOLN, May 4. (Special Telegram) Not a two-bagger was hit today in the second game of the series between Lincoln and Peoria, Lincoln scored two runs in the sixth and Peoria her solitary tally in the eighth. It was a good game, but the umpire leaned heavily toward the locals throughout. In the first half of the sixth with Lesler on first, Umpire Snyder or Ordered Manager Dugdale away from the coaching lines at third Dugdale talked back, and urged that he had allowed the same thing to Lincoln in the previous inning. Snyder fined Dugdale a warning, but remained firm, and the latter went and sat quietly down on the bench. Then Umpire Snyder called in a policeman and had Dugdale escorted from the grounds.

FIRST IMPORTANT GAME OF THE SEASON AT CRYSTAL.
The first important game of the season came off yesterday afternoon at the club grounds.
The married members of the Omaha Cricket club, who have hitherto always proved too much for the unmarried members, had the tables turned on them to the tune of 49 to 33.
For the victorious bachelors, the batting of Messrs. Taylor, W. R. Vaughan, and C. H. Young were among the features of the game, and mainly helped to win the match. The first-mentioned gentleman's batting and Mr. W. R. Vaughan's bowling were especially worthy of mention.
For the benedicts, the bowling of O. H. Vaughan was in perfect keeping with his last year's form, while the batting of Messrs. John Francis and Frank Hilditch was of the highest order.
Messrs. McPherson and Marshall started well, but before their shoulders had become thoroughly loosened they were dismissed for five runs each.
The result of the match was a pleasant surprise for the winning side, while as regards the benedicts, although for these, too, the outcome of the game was a surprise, it could certainly be termed a pleasant one.
It is safe to say that when these two aggregations meet again there will be some fur flying.
Mr. J. F. Wilson's umpiring was highly commended, as he is perfectly fair, while his knowledge of the rules of the game is very accurate. Score:

ONLY FIVE DERBY STARTERS
Alma, Laureate, Basso, Curator, and Galen d'Or for the Order of Choice.
POTSDAM BREAKS DOWN IN HIS WORK
Is Una Not a Dangerous Factor, but Was Uncertain for Recent Work Hines
A Strong Tip, with Lancelente In It.
LOUISVILLE, May 4. There will only be five starters in the Derby Monday. While taking his work this morning Potsdam broke down and consequently will not start. While not looked upon as a dangerous candidate, Potsdam's trials at Lexington a week ago had induced Colonel Swigert to make the May payment on him, which he did a few days ago.
Halma, Galen d'Or, and Potsdam arrived yesterday and all of the Kentucky Derby starters are now ready for the Derby on Monday. The other three are Basso, Curator, and Laureate. A fortnight ago it looked like a walkover for Laureate with two great victories to his credit. Then came his defeat, followed by the victories of Halma and the track scorching work of Basso and Curator. The kaleidoscope had shifted from a one-horse race to what promises to be the best contest of that classic event in ten years.
Halma will be the favorite because of his two recent victories at Lexington, but Laureate will be close at his heels in the betting, followed by Basso and Curator in the order named. Galen d'Or has few followers.
It is expected the Derby will be witnessed by the greatest crowd ever assembled on a Kentucky track. All the railways will run excursions and train loads have already been booked from Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago, Lexington, and other points. There are over 600 horses at the track, embracing all the western cracks and the flower of the 2 and 3-year-olds.

Emma Will Accept the Presidency.
NEW YORK, May 4. Thomas Strada Palma of New Jersey, selected by the Cuban Insurgents to act as provisional president, says: "This revolution is considered an extension of the last war, and as I then had the honor to be president, I am not surprised that they wish me to continue in that office."
Asked whether he would accept, he replied: "I have not yet received any official notice. If it be true that they have selected me, I shall confer with Senor Marti, our diplomatic representative, who is coming soon to the United States in order to ask the government to recognize the belligerents, and after we come to an understanding, I will undoubtedly accept the honor conferred upon me. As a patriot, I consider myself obligated to render the services my compatriots request. I will go to my own country and accept the position. This I will do as soon as I receive the official notification."
The midday session was preceded by a street parade and an address of welcome by Governor Matthews. Responses were made by the national president, John A. Lee of St. Louis, and the state president, B.

Adolph Oppenheim, the pawnbroker whose testimony created such a sensation in the police court yesterday, said today that he is positive as to the identity of Durrant, and of the little diamond ring which Oppenheim says Durrant wished to sell, and which was the one worn by Blanche Limont and subsequently returned to her aunt.

COLLIDED WITH A WILD ENGINE
Thirteen passengers injured on the Iron Mountain Bond.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 4. Passenger train No. 232, on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain Southern railroad, collided with a wild engine at 4 o'clock this afternoon near Clarksville, and was wrecked, thirteen passengers being injured; none, however, fatally. At Clarksville, Engineer Willebanks of the freight train stepped into the telegraph office to ascertain how late the passenger train was, leaving the engine in charge of his fireman, who a moment later got off to get a drink of water. While unmanned, the throttle flew open, and, being detached from the cars, the engine started at full speed. When it collided with the passenger train both engines were badly damaged.
Shot Down by Populists
ST. LOUIS, May 4. August Gobi, aged 42 years, a fish merchant, who came here from St. Paul some time ago, was shot and killed on the street early this morning. The police assert that he committed suicide, but there is evidence to support the theory that he was murdered with robbery as a motive. His pocketbook was found lying two feet from his body and his pockets were torn inside out. This theory is also borne out by the statement of a colored woman named Kate Emory, who lives near the scene of the supposed crime. She heard several men arguing, and then a shot was fired, after which the deceased was found lying dead on the walk. In the dead man's pocket was found a receipt from Ancient Order of United Workmen lodge No. 710, St. Paul.

Elder Raymond was in charge of the converts, who appeared to be below the average in intelligence.

The year 1895, if it ended tomorrow, might yet claim distinction for one important thing accomplished—the production of a really good China Cabinet at a cost of only $218.00. Heretofore, $220.00 has been the low-water mark of price, and the best $270.00 Cabinet ever offered made no pretense to any shelves or mirror above the closet. The Cabinet which we offer here at $518.00 is really the equivalent of our $270.00 grade from last season.
It is solidly constructed of white oak, with plate glass doors and shelves it is fitted for five shelves. Above it is the brotund on which dainty corner shelves and wide mirror are placed.
The Cabinet stands over six feet in height and when filled with china and glass, it will go far toward making the dining room beautiful.
