R. Newton, Previously the pair had called at the American ex- press office and asked for a package addressed to F. M. Morrison. Officers Petty and McGoftin were found, and sterced in a buggy to look for the man, He was sighted, walking with the lady, on Sixth street, near Pearl. Officer McGoftin went to him and asked him to go to the mayor's office. He consented, and the officeis, with the man of many aliases and the lady, went to the foot of the stairs leading to the office, where the lady was dismissed by her husband, and continued her way to the Pacific house, where they had been stopping. In the mayor's office the prisoner said that he had done nothing at Lincoln to be arrested for. He seemed cheerful and confident, and while the mayor went to the Western Union office to telegraph, he asked the cfficers to go with him to the saloon below and have cigars. They went with him there, and then he asked that Officer Petty allow him to go to the water closet. ~They went and while tha officer was standing at the door he heord a shot within, and _pushing his way inside found his prisoner weltering in bis blood on the floor. He had shot ough the head with a 32-cali- Colt’s revolver. The body was car- ticd into tho assembly hall back of the Clingan, cxlled. Since arriving in the city the deccased hes acted strangely; started negotiations foc the purchase of youeg cattle, and that so0¢ of thing, He was not in liquor when arrested. On his person was found $4 06, Mirs.

H1S CAREER IN NEBRASKA, Lincoln Journal, A fow days ago after the first of Sep- tember, W. J. Nelson with his wife and step deughter, came to Lincoln. L.ttle was known of them as Nelson did not go into businers and they lived quietly, About tirst of this month thev rented a house of Mr. Harlow at 1621 N street and moved in. Half of the house was tarnished and the other half unfurnished. On Thurs- day «f last week Nelson went to Wilson & Co’s and purchased about §50 worth of voods, most of the bill being for & carpot. He exhibitea government bonds to the sum of $1,500 and Nzlaon's pocket- hookl wes ken to reveral lurge wola piceos. Nelson s had 5,000 1n bonde to © ashed and ita team for $500, whicn ma him a li‘tleshomt but ke would come in h the cish in the course of a few daye, As ho seemad to bo abundar able to meet all his abligations, no objection was mude by the irm. He bought, as was quently tained, about 8§35 goods from Baldwin Brothors— and fixtures—a oo made some s of Barzenstein. Nulaon went to Wil- tthat she was anxious ‘ She eaid her .d was expectiog the oney for his bonds in 8 day or two, and she was allowed to take the carpet away. As she did not come around on Monday Mr. Dobbins called at the house, She said that her husband and his son had gone out hunting with the tean and would be gone a day or two. He called on Tues- day and was informed thot they had not returned yet. On Wednesday a boy came to Wilson & Co.'s with a telegram for Mrs, Nelson, and asked where she lived, He was told where to go, and no more was thought about it uutil Thursday, when Mr. Har- low came down and announced that the womsn had dieappeared, and showed a note which she had left. The note stated that she was sorry she couldn’t pny the rent, but that her husband had had trouble 1n settling up his atfairs, and she was unable to pay up, She said she was going back to Illinows, where they came from. The firms who had sold Mr, Nelson goods and who have not received any consideration therefor immediately be- gan tolook for the goods. The carpet und stove, with the trunks coataining Ly, ke nsee othor personal property, had die- appear and were doubtless hauled off by the two teams with which Nelsou and his sone—or, at least, the two boys with him—left Sunday or Monday. Upon questioning the ex pressmen. one was found who had hauled a roll of carpet to the express office, Upon inguirivg there it was found that 1t ad been sbipped to Omaha, to B, B ewton, The defrauded merchants telographed to Omahs aud found that the gouds had been reshipped to Bioux City, Ihey then sent & dispatch to Sioux City di recting that the party who called for the @oode ba arrested, They had not leng to wait, Nelsou called Tor the goods yesterday, and & dis- 1 T 14 P the man's propetly was sufficient tohave| THE OHILD'S HOSPITAL. paid up all aud left him a ook HAGIOME, BRIATE0, bla be held 1ye 0 1) fing & Good Work, Bat Can Lkt A AL LA Hocelve Many Mors Children to give somo solation ¢f the myatery STATE JOTLUINGS of the Child’s hoapital for voper o months, constituting its L AVLUR gl oport, as as follows in of B0V in u yeor, " it lon is ) ata in hospital fr " e e x from Jely 1 to Octover 1., 28 1 Prestyterian church and modical attendancs Ak AN, How o woney ¥ s r From pay patient 283 00 “rom childron’s boar S 00 i News gegaets. it Oolamia/] = oM childrend board wdess of Libirey should now take 4351 60 t of a bug injuiva of & an Clark wa: last wook, receiy ness among the cb One little boy living in the city was brought to the hoa of W Kerns in Table | pital in Septomber tor a surgical opera.

Tae [election laws in New York are claborate and explic The votes for electora are deposited in scperato boxes; a8 eoonjus the poll is closed tho inspectors of election proceed to canvaes tho votes; at the conclusion of the canvaes a state. mont of the resvlt is made and duly cer- tified Dby the inspectors, a true sopy of which is deposited in tho office of the clerk of the town or city: the originel statement is deliverel by the inspectors or one of them to the supervisor of the ward or town within twenty-four houra after the same shall have been subscribed; if there is no su- pervisor, or heo shall be disabled trom acting, then to one of the nssessors of the ward or town in which the election is held, the supervisors or assessors to whom the original statements of the vass of the votes shall have been deliv- ered, or the county board of canvassers, The country cauvassing boards meet next Tueeday. Thoy take the returns and proceed to make up the county r port. The law provides that in case it oppears £0 the canvassers there have been amissions in the township and ward re- turns they ehall cause the returns to be gont by one of their number to the town inepectors or canvassers who sent it, calling them together to make such cor- rections ‘*ae the factsof tne caze require.” But such town or ward inspectora or can- vaveers shall not at such meoting change or alter any decision bifore made by them, but shall only cause their canvass to be correotly stated.” From the county boards the returns aro sont by messengers to the secrotary of state and pass into the hands of tho state canvassing board, This body con- niste of tho secretary of state, the state incer, tho comptrollor, the attorney yenecal and tho state treasurer, three of are suflicient to form the board, which meets at Albany on the Wednesday after the third Monday of Novembor, or sooner if all the certified copics of the statements of the county canvassers shall have been received. The secrotary of state is a republican, the other four be- ing democrats. Their duty is simply to determine, by a computation in addition, the number of votes cast for each candi- date for elector, and te declare which of thom has the greatest number of votes. The law says: *‘They shall make and sul scribo on the proper statement a certi cato of such determination, and shall deliver the samo to the secretary of state.” The law further provides that if any one of the board dissent from the decis- ion of the majority he may write out his protest and file i with the secrotary of state. The duty of the secretary of state to obey the command of the majority of the canvassing board is thus explicitly stated in the etatute: Tho secrotary of state shall, without delay, causo a copy, under the seal of his oftice, of the certified determination of the board of state canvassers to be deliv- ered tc each of the persons therein de- clared to be elected. In case errors or frauds are claimed in the county canvasses the law provides that the supreme court (court of appeals) may, upon information by aflidavif, re- quire the county board to correct such errors or show cavse why such correction should not be made, and _in the event of the fuilure of said board to make such correction, or show cause, the court may compel tho board by writ of mandamus to correct such errors; and if puch hoard of county canvassers shall have made its determination and dissolve, ruch court may compel it to reconvene for the pur- pose of waking such corrections, The court does not appear to have any authority over the stato canvassing board delegated toit by the statute. 1t after the state canvasting board issues certificates to presidential electors their decisfon should bo questioned, it is a matter of doubt whether the court of appeals could compel them to withhold or change the certificates, The duty of the secretary of state is 8o clearly stated that any failure on his part to deliver the certificates according to the direction of the majority of the board would be a palpable walfeasance. 1f a correction is made by a county board on order of the court the corrected returns must stand as the true returns. These correc- tions inust, apparently, be made before the state board assembler, as this body's wiretomy that 11 Diseases and Health of Live Stock, All owners of live atock are no doubt nterosted in keeping their animals in a sonnd healty condition, and are anxious ) & halt any disease, no matter as roon a3 it makes its ap- To nceomplish efther or both , the Western Live Stock Reme. nufactured At Omaha, has no e to cattle,horees,ewine, Py and is an article that las vted to aive sn stion, it prope erly administored ousands of doila ight bo euved annually if breeders, farmers, and, in fact, any one from the person owning an extensive hord to the modest gardner with a pony and a cow, would keep their animals in a thoroughly healthy condition, Koep stock healthy and_every conta- gious discasy that comes along will not take hold with the grip of death.
