THE PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS The Attorney General Decides that the New County Attorneys May Receive Pay—Lively Times in Congressional Politics. Towa News. Drs Morxes, lowa, May 16.—[Special]— The board of trustees of the State Agricul- tural college, at Ames, have just finished their annual meeting, and the result seems very satisfactory to the people of the state. The president-elect has made a very favorable Impression, and will begin the work under most encouraging auspices, President Cnamberlain, as he is to be called, is anotner “Ohio man,” being at present secretary of the state board of agriculture of that state. Ile 1s a man of about 45 years of age, of gemal manner, scholarly tastes and fine executive ability. He was warmly recommended for the place by ex-President R. B. ITayes, Sena- tor John Sherman, Governor Foraker, Presi- dent Scott, of the Ohlo state university, and soveral other presidents of agricultural col- leges and editors of agricultural journals, There were several Iowa gentleman men- tioned prominently for the place, but the board thought the best interests of the state would be insured by going outside it in this instance. Like other state institutions the agricultural college has not been free from internal disquiet for many years. There have been factions among’ the faculty, and to some —extent mong the trustees and alumni.so it was thought best to take a man for president who was entirely outside any factional influence and who could come to the college untramelled, be- cause unacquainted with any vprevious ir barmony. This condition weighad largely in the selection of Mr. Chamberlain, ‘There is also another significant feature to this selection. It shows the purbose of the trustees to make the college more distinct- ively agricultural than heretofore it has been, It is stated on good authority that only abou 10 per cent of the students of the agricultural college deyote themselves to agricultural studies. The school has been run largely as arival to the state university, and has taken mfluuu Iadies and gentlemen of some of the t families of the state and given them course of liberal study that had no more agri- culture in it than there is in a theological college. So this magnilicent property, with its college farm of 800 acres, its fifteen wenty buildings, and its im- ense endowment —has hardly ful- filled the expectations of the state when it was founded. It is proposed now to return to the original idea, and the choice of President Chamberlain means much in this respect. While a_gentleman of liberal cul- ture, he is especially identified with agricul- tural interests, and as a writer and speaker and champiou of agricultural matters he ranks among the foremost in the west. The choice of the board is going to pro popu- lar choice throughout the state, if the ex- rmssions of opinion already heard are any indication. Despite the long time that the legislature took to transact a little business, the legisla- tion shows traces of some inexcusable care- lessness. Thus in the matter of providing for county attorneys to succeed district at- toineys, in accordance with a constitutional amendment adopted last fall, the legislature law providing that the county at- torneys should begin work at a certain date after which there should be no district attorneys, It also repealed the old law ‘which granted salaries to the district attor- neys, and inadvertently left them about six months work to perform with no provision for compensation. When the state’s prose- cutors learned tnat fact a few days ago, there was general consternation through' their ' ranks. 'They were under bonds to perform their duties till the close of their terms of office. So they couldn’t shirk, but they didn’t relish the prospect of laboring for the state several months for nothing, The gov- ernorand the auditor both said that as the law stood thev would receive no compensa- tion for the work yet to be done,so-in despair al for an opinion. He1s a very accommodating attor- ney general. No oné ever appealed to him for comfort but he got it. He has furnisl some opinions that have been the subje em to satis case 1 not even by unintentional late their salarles away from d, therefor although no provision es had beel ‘made, they receive them till their terms expired. Of course that is equity and common sens there be some that think under the cir g ayoiding complications by doing “as Judge Stuttsman, of Biriington, has ono-simp appoint the district attorney as public prose cutor for the time being, treating the ofli as if there was a vacancy and filling it by ap- pointment, "The_congre burn in man Second disf 1onal_fires aro beginning to 15 of the state.

Wasmnisaron, May 16.—~The heartiness and enthusiasm with which the project of erecting in Washington a Roman Catholte university has been received by the Catholies in all sections of the country are sufficient evidence that it will become a solid and con- crete fact before very long. Subscriptions still continue to pour in. Already the m received is sufficient to warrant the com- mencement of a building. The main por- tion of the million dollars which was to be collected for the costs and endow- ments of the university is in hand and more is still coming. The committee held a meeting last week in Baltimore and ected three of the plans for a building which have been sent in by some of the principal architeets of the ‘eountry. It is probable that the best features of all these thres designs will be incorporated into one when the first design is made. ‘The ground will not be broken till next spring but_when operations_are once commenced they will be sushed forward rapidly. The new nstitution is _to be a university and not a college. 1t will be founded on a system similar to flmt in vogue at Oxford and Cam- bridge. It 1s not pro‘ms(‘,(l to give a profes- sional education in the university, but the course will be so modelled that none but post graduates and those who have received their professional _education will be eligible for admission, It will be a finishing course. In this way it will not interfere in an‘y way with the Bxls!ln% colleges. At first instruction will be confined to three branches of leara- ing—philosophy, Ihwlogy and philology, and will atterwards include law and medicine. WIHY WASIINGTON WAS CHOSEN, Dr. Chapell says that “one of the principal reasons that Washington was chosen as the site of the university was because students could here mix with the superior minds ot this and other countries, and of many valua- s, libraries and courses of scientific lectures, ete, which are to be found here.” The q\lcshon of the in- ternal managemoent _of the university was the subject of much_discussion at the last meeting of the committee, some members tavoring the election of a rector and others opposing it. Tt wns finally decided to elect rectors, which was accordingly done, 1t Is believed that Archbishop Spaulding, of IlL, was the man so honored. The management of the interior of the university will be in- trusted to members of a religious society \Vlllll whom arrangements are now being made. S on FIGHTING GERONIMO. The Indlans Surprised and Stamped- ed, But Strike Back Wickedly. SAN FraNcisco, May 16.—A Tuscon spe” cial from Huachuca, says that Captain Hat- field with a troop of cavalry struck Geronimo a heavy blow yesterday morning ten miles southeast of Santa Cruz. But a few hours later he received a heavier blow in return. Friday afternoon, the hostiles, about seventy strong, struck Milespias ranch, rounding up thirty horses. Hattield arrived halt an hour later and followed the trail till dark Yesterday morning he surprised and stampeded the hostiles, capturing thoir entire camp, outlitand hot 1o then started for Sauta Cruz.

Captain Hatfierd reached Santa ~Cruz, where he will be joined by Lieutenant Cook with the Dorsto troops. : Major Rinze, with a’ large Mexican force, reached Santa Cruz last night and_joined in the pursuit this morning; Captain Lebo, Lieu- tenant Davis, with troops, Governor Torres, d Prefect Rivers, of the Mag: delana district, are here i ultation.

ProniA, May 16,—About 1 o'clock this morning the watchman of the Enterorise distillery, at Pekin, discovered the building tobe on fire. The alarm wasat once given but before the firemen reached the scene the building was wholly enyeloved and the fire beyond control. The distillery, with all the machinery and contents, was entirely de- stroyed. 'The building contained 20,000 bush- els of gran and 50,000 gallons of alcohol. Four cars of corn on the {rack were also de- stroyed togother with all the government books, The total value of property is esti- mated at $200,000, on which was inSurance of about $05.000, The fire originated in tho 1each room, and was undoubtedly the work of incendiary.

It Looks Iike a Walkaway. The game between the on Pacifics and the Denver teams was a complete surprise to most of the 1,500 people pres- ent. Many had anticipated that “‘our boy: out of practice as they were, would be beaten, but no one had antici- pated that the defeat would be as crush- ing as it proved to be. The game was lost to the home team in the second and third innings, and after that the Union Pacifics could scarcely hope to do any- thing but hold their opponents level. The game was called at twenty min- utes to 4 o'clock by Umpire Strock, with the Denvers at the bat. Anderson was put in to pitch for the Union Pacitics and vroved a total failure. In the first in- ning the Denvers made but one run. The Union Pacifics, in their half, offset this by scoring two tallies. Then the visitors went to bat and the matinee com- menced. They easily succeeded in mastering Anderson’s delivery = and slugged the leather in all possible direc- tions. The home team became demor- alized and fielded miserably, and at the eud of the third inning the score stood 12 to 2 1n favor of the Colorado men. Pitcher Anderson, of the home club, smiled feebly as ho left the box and walked in to the players' stand, after the gory three innings were ended. The crowd cheered vociferously for Salisbury to take his old position. Thatgentleman responded to the emergency, and the crowd shouted still more loudly as he took his position in the pitcher's box. He_settled down to his old time work, and the result was that durinfi the next six innings the Denvers only added two to their previously gained runms. The Union Pacific's by dint of strong playing managed to score three more tallies, and the game closed with the result, 14 to 5. The Denv pl“fml a sfrong, steady game, and their fielding was particularly fino. The home team, on the other hand, made some wretched and inexcusable errors at critical moments, whic stance, coupled with the poor pitching in first three innings, lost them the game. Strock, as usual, was highly satisfactory as umpire. The score Denver Union Paci MODJESI‘A\ The Two Great’Actresses Take a Day of Rest in’Omaha.

WAS IT POISON? Strange Sickness of a Union Pacific Employe. A strange case of sickness, with suspi- cious ecircumstances surrounding the cause thereof, is reported from the Union Pacific railroad eamp, about eight miles west of the city. An Englishman named Young has been employed for several weeks with a Union Pacific railroad force, who bave been at work improving the roads and laying side tracks west of the city. He represented to some of his fel- low workmen that he was possessed of a large sum of money which he had con- cealed in a safe place, and that he was only working at railroading to save ex- pense while awaiting the arrival of a part- ner from the east, with whom he was to engage in business. Just after break- fast on Saturday morning Young was taken violently ill. A physician was summoned from Papillion and found the patient writhing in convulsions similar to that produced by poisoning, and in an unconscious condition. Emetics were administered without any apparent ef- fect. Allday on Saturday and yester- day Young remained in an unconscious condition, his eyes having a death-like azo. Yesterday afternoon a member of the camp came” to Omaha to see what arrangements could be n for getting Young into the hospital. The suspicious circunistance in the fact that two fellow employes, with whom Young had been upon terms of intimacy and talked freely concerning his secreted wealth, disappeared from the camp on Saturduy morning as soon as Young was tak ill and have not since been seen. theory has gained belief that the two laborers learned the whereabouts of Young’s alleged wealth and administered I\()iaon to him in his breakfast coffee. At st reports Young was slightly improved tho’ still unconscious, with a” chance of his recovery. His medical attendant is convineed that it was a case of poison- ing. KNIGHTS OF THE GRIP.

A number of the representative mer- chants and jobbers of Omuha met at the board of trade rooms on Saturday even- ing for the purpose of organizing an Omaha freight bureau, There were pres- ent Messrs. Oberfelder, Chapman, Wel- shans, Mark, Vinyard, Broatch, Men- delssohn, Goodman, Himebaugh, 1ller, Brady, Fried, Bishop, Easson, Peycl Raapke, Clark and Meyer. Mr. H. T, Clarke presided at the me: ing, with Mr. W. A, bson as sccre tary. The object of the meeting was stated by Mr. Robert Easson to be the establish- ing of a freight bureau to guard and pro- tect Omaha s shipping interests. Omaha merchants need some - re ntatives to confer with railroad official le then cad the constitution of the Chicago ight bureau. He stated that through the eflorts of that organization there had been m:m{ changes in the classilication and rates between Chicago and the Mis- souririver points. Omaha had r A no benelits of that kind and he thought it was necessary to hire a competent com- i r who would attempt: to accom- plish such results in a business iike mau- ner. Mr: Kimball bad been eonsylted and approved of the project. Even ¥re- mont and Linecolu received fayors which Omaba could not obtain. The only ex- pense would be for the first year, the sal- ary of one mau. { seen in that chureh for man, be borne by the different branches of business, the groecery, drug and hard- ware houses perhaps bearing the heaviest share. He then read a letter from C. M. Wicker, of the Chicago freight bureau, which stated at length the benefits which had accrued from their association. Mr, Clarke stated that for the last year Omaha had been having trouble with railroads in regard to freight rates and ho thought tho matter should be remedied, Max Mayor moved, in order to bring the matter before the house, that it was the sense of the merchants and jobbers that such an organization should be effected, Mr. Easson stated that the objects of the association would not be to interferc with private interests, but «imply to see that the open rates did not diseriminate against Omaha, The commissioner would have to be a practical rail- road man who would be able to find the rates existing betwoen different towns of Nebraska, and seo that if Omaha was bo. ing discriminated against. He thought the action of the merchants in refusing to ship goods over the Northwostern whilo the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley diseriminated against Omaha did a great deal of good, as the Omaha freight was too great a factor to be ignored by any raitroad. Mr. John Brady said that he under- stood the sole object of the bureau was to see that the tariff between Chicago and points west of Omaha did not exceed the sum of the two rates from Chicago to Omuha and from Omaha west. The chair then put the question wpon Meycr's motion which was carried with- out a dissenting vote. Mr. Meyers then moved that the Chi- cago constitution be adopted as the con- stitution of the Omaha bureau. Mr. Easson read the Chicago consutution, which was adopted with a few slight modifications. It was decided that tho rate of expense to be borne by the sev- eral branches of business should be de- termined upon the executive committee. The most essential part of the constitu- tion, as adopted, was as follows: The object of the bureau shall be to give the railroad and transportation companies such information regarding the various lines of goods it represents as shall insure them proper classification; to secure freight rates to all shipping points that shall in no case discriminate against Omaha; to assist in adjusting claims for losses, damages, or overcharges, and to render its se vices to members, individ- ually and collectively, in all matters per- taining to the transportation of merchan- seand the extension of the trade of At the election, which was subsequent- ly held, the following officers —we clected:’ President, John Brady; presi .

Last nignt witnessed, for the first time, the appearance of two German dramatio companies in this city. One of these played at Boyd's opera house, the other at the Stadat theatro, Both appeared in the same play, ‘“Die Beiden Ballet Machen,' oder “Ihre Familie.” Rendered into English this would be, “The Two Ballet Girls,” or “Her Home.” The piece forms the basis, in fact 18 the whole fabric and more, of one of the most pop- ular of Robertson's monosyllabio plays, " In adapting his play to nglish actors, rather than English auditors, Robertson leprived it of the melodramic features which so increase the effect of the orig- inal. The picce abounds in lyric gems, attuned to aics appropriated from over- atic treasures. While Robinson’s idea in this exclusion is entirely consonant with that which he had in mind, of a quiet, home-like comedy, it nevertheless de- prives his play of features which gener- erally delight an audience. The fidelity with which the author in question has appreciated the incidents of the piece, and, indeed, also followed the lines, argue at once the ability of the German and the good taste of English dramatist, The play was excellently adopted to bring to the surface the excellence and the defects of the two companies. In each there were many gooa qualities and some poor ones. On the whole, however, it may well be doubted it any city, twice the size of Umaha, could produce a single comvany superior to both of those in question. At the Stadt the old time favorites, Mr. and Mrs. Puls, Mr. and Mrs. Baureis were recoived with the warmest evic dences of appreciation, In return, they did some very artistic work. Mrs, Puls was made a"most dashing ‘‘Lilly" the counterpart of Robertson's ‘‘Polly." M Baureis” “Clara’ was a pleasant realization of a very beautiful character, Mr. Baureis provoked much merriment by his German reproduction of Robert- son’s Sam’'l Gerridge, and Otto Puls made many friends as ‘‘Alexander von Feldern.” In Mr. Horsky, the leading an, the company is very fortunaie. He is young, handsome, ambitious and eapa- bié.” He'displayed loss familiarity with the picce than did the other principals, and the fact of a first appearance con- duced to a nervousness which, of course, will casily pass away. The other members of the company rendered excellent support. The company at the opera house with five such principals as Miss Hofstotter, Varlena, Mr. Harzhein and Mr. in and Mr. Sclig, could not do otherwise than render an cellent per- formance. Their work was cvenly bal- anced and at frequent intervals evoked eviden! of appreciation in both laughter and applause. They were ad- stained by the orchestra whon equired, the music of which alone was worthy of note.
