ROTTENNESS OF THE COMBINE, Another Divorce Case Filed in Court —Brief Notes from the State House —A Tough Sent Up—Lin- coln News. [FROM THE BEE’S LINCOLN BUREAU.] The plans of the State Journal company to fence in the eity of Lincoln for pur- poses of revenge and self enrichment, personally, have thus far worked with all the success that the most cunning hand could devise. A sublime spectacle is presented—a paper that has laid claim to all that was pure and unadulterated in 1ts own party going out as a wet nurse for a city ticket made up of every possi- ble political element, neither fish, flesh nor fowl. The Journal assumed a great deal in thus %x‘)i out to service. It has walked into the democratic back door without knocking with all the familiarity of one born a family servant in that household. *“Iuis a good, clean. honest ticket,”’ says the Journal of the citizens’ ticket, which is a8 warm an endorsement a8 it ever gave a ticket of 1ts own_ part) 1n all its existence, In this procedure it avers that the republicans of Lincoln, gnvlnz 1,000 of all majority, is not capa- lo of putting up a clean, honest ticket, and that a twenty-one star chamber com- mittee, 8 majority of whom were demo- erats, haye done better for the public than the rank and file republicans of Lin- coln are capable of doing. 1t is an exhil- erating spectacle for republicans who have helped the Journal in its schemes for years to look upon, but it is withall the legitimate outcome for an 1nstitution that has been builded upon state printing steals and has 5orgud 1tself at the public crib of the city for years. If any think that the Journal "has crawled in between the sheets alongside of bourbons, with moss s1x inches long on their backs, who are on the “‘citizens’” ticket, for nothing, they are frenlly mistaken. The firm of Gere & H Mhnwn{ has not plundered this long to be caught in that way, and it confidently expects in this somersault to have sop on both sides of its bread here- aftor. It has in its scheme fixed things 80 that if success can be gamea the city printing will be sure for it. Its city cir- culator is the nominee for city treasurer, and this is no dount titying to the banking wing of the Journal company. The executiyo head of the tioket can bring no possible offense to the railroad section of the Journal company, and democratio and republican prohibition- ists are sandwiched into the ticket in suf- fielent numbers to satisfy any conscience the concern can have in that hne, It will now be amusing to see the Journal com- pany attempt to elect this ticket, throngh which it expects to own the ¢:It¥l govern- ment for a couple of years, It has made one break toward it by the threats of- fered the gamblers by one of its anrlcmrl, and it will proba- ly turn around and threaten the prohibitionists that if they do not sup- rorl the ticket it will cause whisky to run n streams in the city and have an ordi- nance passed requiring all citizens to suruhm a certain amount of the stuff ily under pains and penalties of im- prisonment. With & campaign inaugur- ated of this character the Journal c(xn- ‘nny may be able to rake from the fire he entive chestnut crop for years, such a stalwart concern. DIVORCE AND COURT. District court transacted little or no business yesterd: but the customury divoree case was with ali the regu- ar ity of the rising of the sun. This case ht by India against Wil- . § o ik It is were married Platte county in 1884, that a year had not passed until she was subjected to beat- ngs atthe hands of her husband, and that during the month of February just passed she was beaten until she was un- able to work for d:\fis. The plaintuff further states that she has supported her- self since 1885, With the petition is filed the answer of the husband, who denies the allegations and will hdht the case. STATE HOUSE NOTES. At the auditor’s office the Insurance Company of Pennsylvania has oom%léad with the " state insurance laws and been admitted to transact business in Ne- braska. The Louisville Underwriters, of Louisville, Ky., has applied for the nec- essary blanks and pavers upon which_to make a showing for admission to Ne- braska business. The state treasurer is busy these days cashing warrants for members and em- loyes on the balance of their salaries. }l)‘ha appropriation bills to cover these ex- penses have just become laws and the auditor states that they will be more than sufficient to cover all, so there need be no crowding to get to the cash window. ABOUT THE CITY. The prohibitionists of the city held their convention yesterday afternoon and nominated a8 complete city ticket. The convention was held at the Metro- politan rink and was largely attended and very enthusiastic. Sixty-three dele- tes were the quota, and George E. igelow presided, with H. C. Bittenben- der as secretary. The committee on res- olutions consisted of T. C. Pace, A. G. Wolfenbarger, L. Helmer, Elias Baker and Edwin Erb. The resolutions favored only the election of candidates pledged to no license. The following candidates were nominated by acclamation: Kor mnfior Col. A, J. Cm})ug; treasurer, E. M, Lewis, president of the Nebraska savings bank; clerk, J. A. Rollins; ceme- tery trustee, W, E. Johnson; members of the board of education, Rev. Lewis Greg- ory, Miss Phabe Elliott. Councilmen: 0. P. Dinges, First ward; Dr. A. H. Dor- ris, Second ward; J. W. Burks, Third ward; W. H. Prescott, Fourth ward; J. Z. Briscoe and 1. D. Hyde, Fifth ward; Fred W. Harvey and T C. Pace, Sixth ward. A city central committee of two from each ward was sclected, with Fred A. Harvey as chairman. The members of the convention expressed a belief that the prohibitionists would poll 1,200 votes for this ticket, which is generally con- oeded to be a very commendable one, and will command’ the unanimous vote of the third party. Frank McGuire, who assaulted Charles Mp{e}’ with a coupling pin, has had his trialin district court and has been sent over the hill to the penitentiary for a torm of five years. McGuire was one of the toughest toughs that ever invaded the city and he has, judzimfi from com- ments, met no more than his just des- erts. The citizens' ticket, as completed by the committee of twenty-one, is consti- tuted as follows: Mayor, John Fitzgerald; treasurer, L. B. Freeman; clerk, R. C. Manley; cemetery trustee, W. 0. Fletcher. Members of the board of cdu- cation, Rev. Lewis Gregory, Miss Pha:be Elliott. Councilmen: First ward, O. P. Dinges: Second ward, George H. Clarke: ‘T'hird w: J.

The location was adjoining Carr’'s block, and the huihliufiu were veritable fire-traps. They will undoubtedly be replaced by substan- tial bricks. The loss was light and a small amount of insurance involved. In the distries court, in the trial of the case of the State against Catlin, some of the witnesses swore that the complaining wituess, Berry, was druuk.

THE OMAHA BASE BALL CLUB. The New Rifle Club—Robbed at the Revolver's Point—The River— Arrcsted for Arson—Other Local Notes. Champion of Nebraska. Ed Bullock won the title to the cham- pion bicycle rider of Nebraska at the ex- position builning last night by defeating Charles W. Ashinger, of Denver, in one of the most hotly contested races ever witnessed in Omaha. The race was wit- nessed by about 1,000 people, whose in- terest in the sport was greater than their terror for the most disagreeable kind of weather. The men started on their fifty mile race at 8 o’clock, both appearing in excelient shape and ovenly matched. Ashinger took the lead at the start and set the pace for the first twenty miles with Bullock close on his wheel. The leader made onc or two ineffectnal at- tempts to spurt away from his opponent and then settled down to a stubborn test of speed and endurance. At the turn of the twentieth mile Bullock took the lead and kept it, He made a wickedxaco and rolled off the miles in a decidedly rapid manner.Asthe race neared completion the speed of the contestants and the interest of the audience increased alike, At the pistol shot for the last mile the men set out at a hghtning speed with Bullock in the lead. ~ After the fifth lap of the last mile the issue of the contest was in doubt. Ashinger caught up with Bullock and on the long streiches for three laps rode even with him, the handle bars of their champion semi-racers almost touching. On the curves, however, Bullock would gain a few feet. This con- dition of affairs continued until the last lap, when the men kept exactly oven, Bullock hufilng the posts mfarmingly close, with Ashinger on his right at the very edgo of the raised turns, There was no room for fouling or crowding, and the contest was purely one of speed. By one tremendous effort Ballock made a forge ahead and passed the scratcn eighteen inches in the lead. The finish was 50 close that the majority of the spectators were in doubt as to who won the race until Thomas Blackmore, the referee, announced his decision giving the race to Bullock. The announce- ment was received with expressions of approval and gave universal satisfac- tion. ~The score for each five miles was ;ls“lunows: wavor s | Omaha Rifie Club, This organization has been has been made in this city with the following offi- cers elected for the year : Judge Lake, president.

Initiation fee, $5. During shooting seasons, May 1 to Octo- ber 81, monthly dues $1, the rest of the year 50 cents. Durmfi this time a gallery or room will, if possible, be obtained for gallery practice, and the organization may develop in time into a crack shoot- ing, well drilled rifle corps, able to hold its own with any other. The range will be located near Bellevue, and the regular shooting will commence Wednesday, May 4 and to continue every Wednesda during the season. A car, which the B. & M. railroad has allowed, will leave that depot at 1 o’clock p. m. Wednesdny for the nnee. and the shooters can return to the city by 5:30 or 7 p. m., thus giving 8 half day for the club for their target practice and for their friends to enfoy the cool shade of Bellevne and give also an opportunity to see the troops of Fort Omaha at their practice as well as, later n the season, the department division and select marksmen’s competitors, at which Generals Sheridan, Terry, Crook and other celebrities will be present. Prizes will be shot for by the club during the season. THE OMAHA TEAM. The Men Reporting for Duty—West- ern League Notes. A half doven of the members of the Omaha Ball club reported for duty yes- terday. They are Krehmeyer, Bader, Harter, Genius, O'Leary and Walsh. The other members of the club are expected to report to-day or to-morrow and all will go 1nto active tramnidg at once. The men yet to report are Messitt, House- man, Rourke, Dougherty, Goodenough, Swift, Veach and Healey. The men who arrived just came direct from St. Louis where they have been pructicing in a gymnasium for the past month. They are all husky young fellows who do not require a label to show that they are ball pluyers. They are all highly pleased with Omaha, and feel confident that the pennant of the Western league will be captured by thls city. They report that the feeling in St. Louis is strongly in fa- vor of the Omaha club. The work of enclosing the ball ground was completed yesterday. Work will be commenced on the grand stand at once and all will be in readiness for the open mng qnmn with the Des Moines team on April9and 10, The Des Moines club has been slnyinzchrouzh the south and has the advantage over the home team of six weeks’ good practice,.

Kansas City will com- lete the quota of eighth club, She has n for the pastsix months courting the National league and nursing the illusion that she would be given a sition 1n that league and fitted out with a team, and consequently, at this late day finds herself snubbed and without & man under contract. However, Kansas City will skirnnsh about and get a team and make a desperate effort to keep from fill- ing the place of a eracker at the tail end of the Western league. PAVING SIXTEENTH STREE'1. E. Hoover, J. J. P. Ardner, A Councilman Explains the Non-Pas- sage of an Ordinance. There is no little dissatistaction ex- pressed in certain quarters because the council failed to gnm the ordinance last Tues night, that proyides for the pav- ing of South Sixtoenth street. Some per- 8ons go so far as to clai:n that the defeat of the measure was due to ‘“‘starlight’ w{lark of a certain clique in the city coun- cil. One of the councilmen who was asked about the matter yesterday said. ‘‘There was no skullduggery about the defeat of the ordinance. The only reason that it wasn’t passed was because the necessary papers and petitions were not ready and the work of paving could not be com- menced without a good deal of delay. The council has some available money ready and this it wants to use just as soon as the weather will permit, ~ When the proper time comes and the proper papers are J)resenlod Sixteenth street will be paved.” Miss Field's Lecture. Miss Kate Field, as announced in last evening’s BEE, will lecture at the opera house next Tuesday evening, taking as her subject ‘‘The Mormon Monster." The lecture will be for the benefit of the Women’s Aid association. The admission will be 50 cents; reserved seats 75 cents and Elllery 25 cents, The Cleveland Leader pays a great tribute to Miss Field in the following: *‘Miss Field is now to the lecture plat- form what Patti is to the lyric stage— simply peerless, and perfect, and unap- roachable. She has that extraordinary alance of the intellectual and artistic forces that enables her to make her lec- ture ot superb literary qualty, and to deliver it with faultless grace of manner and impressiveness of presence, 5o to speak, that we have never seen equaled. In Miss Kate Field America hasa woman worthy to be called an orator." Arrested For Arson. Frank Wolt, a Bohemian who runsa boarding house on North Fourteenth street, was arrested yesterday on a war- rant from Justice Berka's court chnrginl; him with the crime of arson in attempt- ing to burn his _house on the evening of March 10.
