LOWY MEETS THE LAWYERS. Which Develops Some of the Peculiar In- side Workings of Smith's Special Sale, SEARCHING CROSS-EXAMINATION The Nincteenth Annivirsary of Ne- braska's Admission Into the Un- fon—Tax Collector Cited for Contempt—Minor Notes, IFROM THE BEE'S LINCOLY DURRAU. | When the United States court eonvened yesterday afternoon the defense in the Cole vs Miller case introduced the testi- mony of Charles W. Rhodes, B. H. Menzer and L. A. Garner, corroborating evidence previously given, and then rested. Mr. Woolworth opened the r buttal for the plaintiff by calling Haiman Lowy, the real principal, to the stand. Lowy said that last spring he was looking for a business for his sons and son-n- law Cole. A friend named Coutant, hearing that he intended to go to Minne- apolis told him that there wasa better chance in Omaha, where a man named Smith wanted to sell out. Coutant said that ~ Smith was doing a good business, but that he was a reckless speculator and was not satisfied to remain in <o small a town. Lowy, who had never met or communi- cated with Smith, came to Omuha about June 18 and looked over the stock. Smith asked him $50,000. He returned to Chicago, and the next w to Omaha again, when his s Cole, having inspected the busin yised o purchase. He offered Smith £10,000, which was ac o He paid #30,000" in* cas note for the rest The cross-ex r two hiours, and Was o hing n fegar inquiry as could be made. Lowy stood the fire pretty well, but contradicted him- self badly attimes and exhibited a rather unpleasant volubility. Among the facts drawn out in the cross-cxamination was that on the occasion of his first visit to Omaha Lowy brought with him $8,000 in cash, $5,000 of which he had borrowed from his brother-in-law, Mr. Southeim. When he returned to Chicago Lowy took three drafts from Loyal E Smith amounting to $7.00), which he turned over to Southeim in payment of the $5,000. These drafts were afterwards given to a pawn broker named Bullen, who endorsed and collected them. Lowy swore that South did notgive him any- thing for the draft, but was unable to Plain how the books of the Commercial ational bank showed tbat he had re- ceived and deposited that day Southeim’s check for$7,000, or why he should ha | donated his brothe: aw the differen of $2,000 between the amount | and the money horrowed.

The remark was_current among the ' officials at the capitol building yester- ‘day that it the twentieth anniver- | sary of the admission of Nebraska as a Istate. This is a mistake. The procla- ‘mation admitting the statc was signed by iPresidont Johnson March 1, 1867, nine- ‘teen years ago yesterday, The fierce struggle preceding that act is still some- phinrmore than a tradition with many _{)nop e now prominently identitied with he intovests and welfare of the young | giant of the west. The first murmurs jof the then puling infant secking rec mition by its sisters were heard in 1862, ‘but the country was then in the throes of {eivil war, and all lesser things were un- heeded, Again, in 1864, the advocates of |,admission came’ to the’ front, but were {defeated, and the scheme was allowed to ! rest until 1866, when under the enabling act passed by the congress of 1864 the agitation was begun ane J struction wus then going on ‘dent Johnson was engagod in “swinging round the circle. The admission of new states and the ('orrch}mudmu increase of the voting power of the United Statc | senate was, of course, a matter of gres !import to those concerned in the fight b tween the executive and congress. Con- sequently, the slruggl‘lc for and against admission in Nebraska beoame a purely political one. The republicans, with vid Butler as their gubernatorial cand date, advocated admission, picturing with & wonderful prophecy the fu greatness of tho state. The democrats, with J. Sterling Morton as a leader, op- E;)snd the scheme, warning the farmers beware of what they called the *‘fan- ciful illusions” of the republicans. The election was held July 21, and was very close,the cepublicans winning by 100 votos out of a total of 8,041. The state consti- tution then adopted was ratified hy con- gress on February 8, 1867, but the bill was votoed by President Johnson. It went bick to congress and was at once l] sod over the veto, and on March 1 following was proclumed by tho exccutive. Af that timo Nebraska had a population of barely 50,000, if the vote can be taken as a basis of = computation. To-duy actual count shows it to be fully 0,000, with every indication of heing an even million before the next cons taken.

The publication in the BEE of the com- plaints of the South Side people in regard to the teaching of only the lower grades in the public schools of that portion ot the city drew general attention to the matter in educational circles last aight. Superintendent James, in speaking of the matter to a B presentative, said: “The complaint is a just one, and [ have long been trying to make a change 50 that the higher grades can be taught across the track. A year ago I recom- mended in my report plan which, if carried out, would have accomplished the desired result. The board, however, led to concur in my recommendations at the time, and hence it out. Ihavein my report for this year, about to be published, made the same recommendation In support of this statement Mr. James submitted the following extracts from that report, which show how he proposes to effect the change: I desire again_to urge upon_ the board the importance of changing the clessification of the schools 50 as_to’ make promotions only twice a year., With this plan in vogue in Owmaha, with our eight or ten-room buildings, it is impossible to have all the twenty-four classes before the high sehool rvé)rl'snumd without having at least a third of them so small that it would require frow three togly classes to fill a TOOW.

In an elghtroom honse we could not possibly go higher than the fifth grade, and in a-ten-room building not higher than the nd, as has already boen s buildings usually several of 0 small that they might easily receive halt as many more pupils. It is easy to sce that it the grades were divided into two classes instead of three, that higher cla might be re- tained In almost every building, 0% It can be shown of several schools that with two promotions a year a smaller number of teachers could do the same work and do 1t as well, and several classes which are now sent long distances to_other schools, could be taught at home. Besides these advantages many pupils in North Omaha, and wany more in South Omaha, who are compelled to make a long journey in_order to reach a building in ° which their classes are taught, "could mow be in the en- joyment of ample school accommoda- tions mear their own homes. . . . Lcan think of nothing more likely to dis- courage children and cause them to drop out of school, than to require them, at 10 or 12 years of age, to walk two miles night and morning in order to reach the nearest school in which their classes are taught. The eighth grade should be taught in at least four of our schools, and the seventh in as many more, and while with our present classification this cin never be Jooked for, with the change here recommended I believeit entirely practicable, It will be grnlli.L ng to the dents of South Omaha to know that the above recommendations ~ have ~already been adopted by the board of education, and after the presont school year much better provizions will be made for the higher classes in the southern part of the city. —————— ‘When Baby waa sick, we gave her Castorla, ‘When she was a Child, she oried for Castoris, When sho bocams Miss, she elung to Castoris, ‘When she had Children, sbe gave them Castoris, e — Rea!

Lack of Substantial Charity—The Slow Going Legislature—New Phase of the Soldicrs' Home Question—Notes., A Rebuke to the Barrel, Drs Moisgs, lowa, March 1.—[Special Telegram.|—In the city el to-day Haryey Phillips, a democratic was elected mayor on the *‘citizens’ ticket.” The democrats also elect a part of the other of- ficers. The result is not a democratic vietory butarepublican defeat, and was brought about by general dissatisfaction among the republi- cans at the n which Mr. Fullerton, the republican eandidate for mayor, secured his nomination. He belonged to a wealthy lumber ring, and was nominated at the pri- marfes by the very plentiful use of money, His opponent, Mr. M. I King, an Irishman in moderate circum- stances, was the evident ehoice of the repub- licans of the city, but went down before his barrel. Under the circumstances members of the party generally did not feel bound by the nomination of Fullerton, and either voted and worked openly for the democratic candidate or neglected to vote for the republican. In consequence Phillips car- ried the city without difficulty, with about six hundred majority, in a city that is ordi- narily republican by 1, jority, The re- buke to the new ring that attempted to con- trol city politics is very emphatic and is re- garded with a good of satisfaction by many republicans, Lhe brilliant success of Omaha's char- ity ball is frecly commented upon in this city, and is quite in contrast with the experi- ence of the people bere. Different attempts were made to arouse some enthusiasm for a charity ball earlier in the season, but without avail. Finally after the society people had proposed to take hold of the matter, and it was apparent that nothing was to be done, the Order of Railway Conductors came to the front and undertook the ball on their own account, Under the circumstances they did remarkably well, clearing 81,043 for charit ‘Ihat is not much like the $4,600 that Omaha contributed, but Des Moines public spirit does not run in that way. A little more of the Omahia spirit would be very acceptabie in Des Moines, and would make several im- provements in a pretty good sort of a town. There are some splendid improvements, however, planned for the coming summer. One of them is a new hotel that shall surpass anything in the state, and equal to the best hotels of western clties. The enterprise is firmly established and is hesitating now only on the selection of a site. Several localities want it, and if the experience of the past is repeated, it will be a mascot in a business way for the street thas gets it. The legislature has been in session for about six weeks, and during that time just sixteen bills have been passed and received the governor’s signature. Most of those are of a local nature, and but one bill of genera | character—that requiring teaching of temper- ance in the schools—has becoine a law o . i;&?fiflx}w—‘mv e «us Ot than it would vyl 1L one-tenth of the bills introduced in passed, but for a legislature that started out with so much talk, the result is quite in contrast. It seems to be generally understood that a soldiers’ home will be pro- vided for at thissession, and that the judi systems of the state will be reorganized. Then, if a bill for local arbitration to settle disputes on mining and industrial matters is passed. and a bill strengthening the present prohibitory law in some minor particula rs, it is thought that the field of general legisla- tion will be pretty well covered. The Hayes impeachment case, that has been put off sev- eral times, is finally to have a hearing next Monday, and then be heard out. It is not generally thought that Hayes will be im- peached, and the matter will probably be dropped. The only event of interest in the legi ture to-day was in the senate over a new phase of the soldiers’ home question., Sen- ator Scott introduced a resolution reciting that the soldiers orphans’ home at Daven- port, which was established years ago in re- sponse to patriotic motives, has been diverted from its original use and now contains but very few orphans of soldiers; therefore, it proposes that a special committee go to Davenport and _consider the propriety of changing this into a soldiers’ home, As there are a number of sick and disabled soldiers in the state who should ba taken care of, it suggests that the few soldiers’ orphans could find good homes in private families, and the buildings could be better used for old sol- diers, ‘T'he resolution called out a stormy debate, Senator Sutton and others interested in the location of the home at Marshalltown oppos- ing the resolution with great vigor, They characterized itasa gross injustice to the poor orphans, and declared that they would rather have the marble pillars of the eapital crumble to dust than to neglect the helpless and homeless orphans of the state. There was a suspicion that behind this personal interest in the orphans was a fear that the effect of the investigation might be prejudi- cial to the location of the home in any of the desired localities. Althongh the resolution was not supported on the floor near as ably as it was opposed, to the surprise of all it carried by three majority, several senators being absentand the democrets nearly all voting forit. This makes the fight for the soldiers’ home still more complicated and in- tense, The housa to-day decided to require all bills for appropiriations to be reported back by M .

The Circlet as a Symbol and a Token. Toronto Mail: The value of a ring as a messenger of grace was exemplified 1n the stormy days of Qu Mary of Scot- land. Two burgesses had been con- demned to deatb, but were reprieved at thefoot of the gallows by her majesly. The mossengor W at haste by the Earl of Bothwell, “and p: ted the ueen’s ring to_the provost’s inspection or the safety of their lives.” This was conside: uflicient indication of the , and the “‘reviyal,”’ ob- sorves Knox, 'in his “History of the Reformation in Scotland,” ‘“‘of a custom practiced by Scottish mona before the date of the earliest sign man ual on record, when everything in church and state was represented in types and symbols.’ Swe carly tigies. ence of Worce as a practice of ronicle of Flor- we read (A, D. 876: “Angin this same 'year the army of the Danes in England ‘s oaths to King elfred upon the holy ring, which before they would not do to any nation, and they deliv 1 g hostages from the most di d men in the army that they would speedily depart from his kingdom, and that by night they broke."" In illustration of this Petrie gives an extract from Arngrim’ Jonas, and a referen to Bartholinus (de Ar- millis), by which it appears to have been custor y among the early Scandina- viun nations to give additional sanctity to an oath by taking it upon a ring or bracelet smeared with the blood of the sacrifice offered upon the occasion, We have a carious mstance of th of a ring in the Middle Ages in the e of Adoelaide, widow of ng Lothaire, who, being beseiged by Berenger, the successor of Lothaire, sent a message to Otho, king of Germany, to assist her.

One of the most singular re- 5 of this kind was for “grinning" tehes, Addison, in the Spectator (No, 173), quotes an_adyertisement from the Post Boy of prizes to be given for horse and ass s on Coleshill Heath, Wa wickshire, and “'a gold ring to be grin- ned for by mer.” “He says: “The gold ring which is made the prize for deform- ity is just the reverse of the golden ap- rlu that was formerly made the prize for heauty."
