The public schools close Friday for the spring vacation and house-cleaning. Permit to wed was yesterday granted J. H. Jenkins, of Wyoming, to Lizzie M. Moore, of Ohio. . Casady, Orcutt & French can't enum- erate the many spring novelties in their new stock. Call and see for yourselves. Deputy Sheriff Clatterbuck last even- ing took to Mt. Pleasant, a laboring man, Wm, J. Mathews, who has been adjudg- od insane. Go to Casady, Orcutt & French's and be convinced that they have the largest and best selected stock of carpets you aver saw. The paving contracts were duly signed yosterday. Mr. Regan has already ordered the shipment of granite blocks, wo that work will soon commence in carnest. Dotective Edgar of this city, has cap- tured, at Culver, Nebraska, a horae stolen from Kansas City last October, and ship- pod the steed back to its owner, I. V. Bell, a liveryman there. Dr. Gordon in testifying before the coroner’s jury in the suicide caso spoke “clonic” spasms, and not ‘‘chronic” apasms, One letter in type makes a ridiculous error sometimes. Frank Myers has the distinction of being the first one arrested by the now police. Chief Skinner and officer Morse run him in for kicking up a row in Belle Clover’s old place on lower Broadway. The mud was being cleared off the crossings yesterday. That was one of the good pointa about Vaughan's administra- tion before, and it is a matter of con- gratulation that he has not forgotten it. Ofticer Brooks, of the old force, is su- perceded by another Brooks—a different one entirely. The only consolation the relieved man gets is that the now Brooks is liable to have his head broken open some night, by some one who has got a grudge against the old Brooks. Poter Nazerinus, who is charged with an indecent assault upon Max Mohn's little daughter, was brought before Jus. tico Abbott yesterday. Ho has enguged four attorneys in his defense. The bail was reduced from $1,000 to $5600, and on furnishing good bondsmen for this amount he was released, and tho case continued until April 5th, Hiram Jennings, a one-armed veteran, was yesterday fined by Justice Abbott $100 and costs for drunkenness. The fine was stayed, on condition of good behavior, and his fellow veterans now warn all saloonkeepers not to sell him any more, and thoy say that they will prosecute to the bitter end the first ono they find selling him. As the dummy train was' backing up yesterday morning it struck an old lady named Mary White, who was walking along the track, and who was too deaf to hear the approaching train. She was knocked off the track into the ditch, but fortunately no bones were broken, and the bruisos sho received will probably not result seriously. The journeymen tailors have presented to their employers a demand for an ad- vance of prices on ocertain work, The employers met yesterday afternoon and agroed to yield to some of the demands and refuse others. The tailors will meot to-night to decide whether they will ac- cept the compromise terms or not. At the moeeting of the school board Monday night W, 8, Pettibone was elected president. Whether he is to be retained also as purchasing agent was not determined, Steps were also taken by the board to secure grounds for the Stuts- man street school, and to get plans for the two new buildings, The official organ of the city for the last yoar seems to have proved very un- satistactory ws an advertising medium. In many cases the advertisments for pro- posals, etc., have had to be reinserted and then printed inother papers in order to get any responses, It seems that the city should follow business principles and use as its advertising medium some paper having circulation, Alderman James is apparentiy miffed and does not propose to work with Mayor Vaughan. He has refused to serve on any committee, giving as an ex- cuse that he will be away a good deal this summer. If Alderman James is so anxious to be relieved from duty he ought to resign, and thus relieve the people at the same time. If he does not not disposed to press the duties upon him, and burden him with them. The new policemen went on duty yes- terday, with Tom Skinner as the chief, Not one of the old force is left. Citizens who thought the old force entitled to nothing but kicks are not over-jubilant | over the prospects of the mnew force, Bome of the new ones promise to do fine. Iy, but in some the public have little faith, They should be given & chauce to show up, however, before the criticisms come in too thick. . F. Brooks andJ. W. Morse go on day duty for the pres- ent, and the othoers go on night. The fellow Mullen, who has gained an unsavory reputation here by his dissolute ways, is again in jail. When his wife deserted her children, and ho was arrest the Home of the and ed for drunkenness, Friendless adopted the children, Mullen was released on condition that he would keep out of town. He keeps ro- turning, and this last time tried to get the children away, and was hence arrest- ed, and the key turned on him again. Corporal punishment may seem horrible to some of the theorists on public school mattors, but they might have acknowl- edged the forco of exceptions, if they had seen the lad at the Curtin street nchool the other day, who boldly defied teachers aud scholars alike with a club, and who threatened to ‘“‘cut the heart out” of the first one who left the build- ing to inform the superintendent of what was going on. A teacher finally went after the superintendent and at the last moeting of the board the boy was ex- polled. The father of the boy seoms to have no control over him, and he has been a great source of trouble and dis- order. Yesterday afternoon the cases of James H. Crook, John Rickchage, Bill Tennal and G. Williams, for riot, came up before Justico Schurz, and on motion of Mr. Adame, who appeared for the county at- torney, were dismissed, ho saying that he did not think that he could make out a case, and the expense of trial was thoro- fore neodless. The affair happened last month at a dance given at a private house, where one man was stabbed seven timos and others got black eyos and acratchos, and yet thus far no one has been punished for taking part in the dis- graceful row. It would be well if all of the now p licemen could buckle their belts over so good a recommendation as that which Jack Hurley carries in his coat pocket. It is signed by Wm. H. Burns, agent of the pool at the transfor, and approved by C. B. Havens, superintendont of the eastern division of the Union Pacific, P. J. Nichols, general superintendent, and Thos. L. Kimball, assistant general manager, who vouch for his worthiness as & man, he having been in the employ of the road for three years. Hurley leaves his position with the U.P. of his own accord to take up the billy and don the star, The reported suicido on en South Eighth street still romains a mystery. Mrs. Scott is positivo that as she was passing the house she was called in by a woman who was crying for help, and who told her that her daughter was dying, and that she thought she had been taking poison, Mrs. Scott found the girl lying on a lounge in the front room, and gasp- ing. Sho soon coasod breathing, appa- rently, and it was thought she was dead Some othors then came in, and she loft, quite excitod over the affair. The peoplo wero strangers to her, and she was not ucquainted in the locality, sho chancing to be returning from a search for a sor- vant girl. Those who live in the house roforred to, now deny that anything has occurred, and it appears cortain that whatever did ail the girl, she is by no means doad. Possibly her mother re- turning home and finding her ill, in a faint, or something of the sort, may have concluded excitedly that the girl had ta- ken poison, a8 she knew she was very desperato because of a quarrel with her lover the night before. When the girl came to_herself the mother probably was eshamod at having made a scone, and de- nied it. Artists' Matorial of every kind at Brarp’s, next door to postoflice. e PERSONAL, H.

The Coroner's Jury Blame the Drug. gist Who Sold the Strychnine to Incz Stewart, The coroner's inquest on the body of Inez Stewart was concluded yesterday forenoon, Mr. J. I the girl, and who is said to have abused her, testified that after the time of tak- ing the poison he was at work, and knew nothing about the affair until after her death. The last time he saw her was on tho street on Saturday. He had known her asout six months. He had scuffled with her but only in fun. They had never got angry at each other, He testi- fying that last Saturday sho and her a littlo trouble, and her Christy, the step-father of mother had mother wanted him to take her part. Then the girl dared him to, and he slapped her, but only n fun, He knew of Frank Stemler going with her, and thought him a pretty good boy. The rings belonged to Stem- ler, and were given to her just to wear. He denied that he ever ordered her away. The witness further testified that her mother had lately received a lettor from the girl's husband, saying he was coming, The girl then said she loved Frank. The witness was shown the sig- nature which it is alleged was given when she procured the strychnine at Empie's store, and said he did not recognize it as hors. He denied striking her on Satur- day, or that he had ever struck her. He said Mr. Hayes, who owns the house, was there when they had the scutfle. The witness had telegraphed thé girl's father in Kansas right after her death, but the answor was brought back that he had loft that place. P. Peterson being sworn, said he hap- poned by the house about 10:30 a. m., and hearing screams went in. The girl was on the bed, and the doctor attend- ing her, She seemed protty conscious but died within ten minutes, G. W. Pangle was sworn: “If you want anything of me just ask me what you want as I'm going to stay only a fow minutes. When I got there I found her in convulsions. She was purple. She had symptoms of strychnino poisoning. She spoke through her teeth and said she was a-dying. I rolled her backwards and furwlr(fi and tried to get something down her, but could not as her teeth woro closed so tight. I guess. Studley will tell you the same. 1 know a little about drugs and medicines. No oune should give poison without a proscription. 1 don’t know what the I[nwn laws are but in Nebraska a pre- scription is neceasary. I think this was not a big dose, but just enough to kill. If she had taken 20 grains she would have thrown it up. Dr. Gordon thought that a hypodermic of choral would help her, but I didn't think, to be honest about it, that any medicine would have helped her. ~ Salt and water would have done her good if she had got it in time.” Considerable interest was felt in regard to the girl getting tho poison at the drug store, it being thought there was some carolessness in selling it. The evidence of Frank Empie, who sold tho poison, and who clerks for his brother, I. N. Empie, was taken the day before. Tt is to tho effect that she got the strychnine under ihe pretence of killing rats, and that as he did not know where the record book was, he had her sign hor mame on a piece of paper, and afterwards hunted up the book and put it in that. The writing on the piece of paper and that on tho book seemed very much alike. The book was an ordlnary blank book, and in the part of it had been used to keep other matters in. On & page in the rear part of the book there wero two or three entries in lead pencil bearing dates early in Janu- ary, and thenon the next page, the record in_like manner of the strychnine sold the deceased. 'There was an’intima- tion that possibly tho record was fixed up after the girl's death, but J. M. Em- pie, himself being sworn, testified that his 0ld poison record was burned at the time of the fire, and since then he had kept this old book. He testified that his brother took the girl's signature on a picco of a paper, as he didn’t know where the rocord was, afterwards recalled it, He testified that the writing on the record and the girl's name on the piec of paper were not the same. Ho swore positively that the en ry was made bo- fore her death was heard of It is difficult to see how the mere making of the record would cut any great figure in either stopping the girl from suicide or urging her to it, but the Inw requires certain forms to be observed in order 1o prevent the criminal use of poison, and to more easily trace out any such criminal use. The jury thought that this law had not been feshnically followed out, and in finding that the girl died by poi dminstered by her own hand, they also found that the druggist had been negligent in his mode of selling and recording the same. If prosecution and conviction should follow the penalty would be a fine not exceeding $100 or imprisonment not exceeding thirty days, A New Bank.
