HULLABALOO ABOUT A HOLE. Beientific and Beonlar Buggestions Over the Lincoln Salt Wells. BASEBALL BUSINESS BOOMING. No Household Complete Without 1ts Club-Honorable Thomas Applegate Appointed Judge of the First District. [FROM TIHE DER'S LINCOLN BUREAU.| Yesterday the celebrated salt well reached A depth of 2,000 feet as contracted for by the board of lands and buildings and work Is temporarily if not permanently suspended at & depth of 2,000 feet. ‘The drill restsin a clay shale seamed with sandstone that sparkles with iron pyrites. No salt has been discov- ered, no natural gas has answered the sum- mons and no oil hasrisen to the surface, The well, as it stands, at the depth of 2,000 feet, is & plain, simple hole in the ground and noth- ing more, It has, however, demonstrated the fact that in_this section of tue state nothing of a mineral nature need be expected with- out going & greater depth than 2,000 feet. “Through the attention of the state geolo:ist all the cores from the drill have been pre- served and a record kept of every foot of the distance downward, which data are valu- able. Seven hundred feet of limestone, lying in a body below the first 1,000 feet, l‘luw conclusively that minerals in this sec- tion of the state are buried deeply and sur- face experiments are useless. The state ge- ologist 1s confident that another thousand feet would demonstrate the values that un- doubtedly underlie the nass of limestone just penetrated. He, in common with the board of lands and buildings I8 anxious to have the added 1.000 feet sunk, and the contrae- fors are willing to remain and do the work. ‘The board thinks that with the expense in- curred in going the 2,000 feet that it would be unwise to cease altogether without reach- ing tar enough down to settle the question of valuables to a reasonablo_depth. Geologists are practically united in the belief that noth- ing can be “expected in Nebraska in muen less than 2,000 feet, and they are nearly of like opinion that minerals to be of practical ‘worth, if found at all, would be found in the 8,000 foot limit. The board, however, cannot limmd with the work until the question hat the auditor raises as to his right to issue vouchers longer for the work, is decided. Sometime since, when the auditor saw this ?'Illesllnn coming, he wrote to the judges of @ supreme court, asking them for a con- struction of the law in the matter for his ersonal guidance. Judge Cobb was seen by he Bkk yesterday, and he said that the court did not meet until June 6, which would be the earliest time that they could hear and answer the question, In the meantime the board 18 auxious for a decision, in which event the work, If favorable decision was given, would be continued uninterruptedly, and the present contractors retained. As it 18, the contractors do not feel like remaining lonkerat the work without assurance im- mediately that they are toremain, and in this predicament the question rests for actlon. A JUDGE APPOINTED, Governor Thayer yesterday relieved the anxiety of tho host of judicial judee seekers in the Firstdistrict by appointing Hon. Thomas pplflnn, of l'ecumseh, the new judge in the First judicial district in accordance Wwith the law creating additional judges and districts in the state. ' It will be gratitying to a host of people in the district that the per- sistentsupplications of the notorious Captai Humphrey availed nothing and the with- drawal of Judge Davidson, ot Tecumseh, ev- dently greatly simplitied the work of mak- ug a selection. A NEW ORGANIZATION. ‘The Lincoln base ball association, with the highest priced players in the league and har- rassed with Indebtedness, has emerged from doubt and_despondency and the club will llowexo on to new victories and defeats, backed un by a syndicate of capitalists and base ball enthusiasts who will not let tinan- cial matters be a cause of worrlment the rest of the season. To accomplish this result all the stockzholders surrendered their stock and turned the franchise over to the syndicate, who assume the indebtedness and will meet the bills in future, the old stockholders here- after depositing their half dollar at the turn- stile for admittance. The new syndicate is composed of the following well-known citi- zens: Krank Zerung, president and treas- urer; J, . Harley, vice president; R. N. Towuley, mremr{: C, C. Burr, Frank L. Sheldon, J. C. McBride, J. Buckstaff, E. . Rougen, J. W, McDonaid, Jeff Glass, {ran Enuich, 1, Lindsey, « H, Hyman.

Y. -——— O STOREY'S PALACE. The Chicago Editor's Marble Castle, aud Why He Bullt It, The Chicago Correspondent of the Min- neapolis Tribune writes: At _the corner of the Grand Boulevard and Forty-third streot stands a magnificent marble castlo, five stories in height, surrounded by a tower. 1tis complete and the windows are boarded up, though a portion of the grounds are kept in fine condition--that part fronting the boulevard. This castle was begun by the late Wilbur F. Storey and he intended that it should be one of the finest houses in the country and the finest in the west, for it was oue of his ambitions that his young wife should Teign #8 mistress in one of the most magnificent residences in this section, he first conceived the i of the house tho discase which finally made him o wreok and carried him oft’had not yet manifested itself and his freak was re- garded ns simply a fancy of a man who soclally ostracised all bie life, had be- come socially ambitious because of his young 'll:’ & beautiful womau and one wuch ambition, 1t was intended that the house should cost close onto $500,000, and though Storoy at that time was probably not much more that & millionaire, he was making from $75,000 to $80,000 out of the Times every year and could socon have d any indebtedness which might have gave every promise of living to an ad- vanced old age, for ho wnv?g‘«mud his step was as elastic as that of yonng men not more than half his lfifi @ was always attentive to business details and surpervised the running of his news- paper even down to the smallest item, and there was no reason to suppose that he would not live to enjoy his palatial home for many years. Not long after the houte was started the brain trouble which finally caused his death first mado itself manifest. He was then more erratic than he had ever been before, but no one thought of ques- tioning his sanity. He had done many things previously—before his brain be- came aflected—which had been the talk of the town, but they were not attributed toany giving way of his brain power, One day he visited his architects and made wholesale and sweeping changes in the plans of his new house—changes which made a difference of many thou- sands of dollars in the cost. But Storey didn't care for that; when he wanted a thing he wanted it. and cost was a minor consideration. As the building grew under the eyes of the old man it was no- ticed that he was gradually changing for the worse. His interest in the mansion decreased, and it soon became appuarent that his strong mind was fast decaying. Then came the time of mental twilight and finally the total darkness, and he died without having seen the completion of the house upon which he had so set his heart. The death of Mr. Story of course put a stop to work on the house, for then be- gan the contest over his wills, which will probably last until the magnificent prop- erty left by the great editor has been eaten up the courts and lawyers. Then the windows were boarded up, an unsightly high board fence was con- structed to keep out tressp s, and thus the place stands to-day. Potter Palmer’s castle on the lake shore is _said to contain 100 rooms, but the Story mansion is larger than the rich tavern- keeper's, and had it been finished would have been superior to it in every way, for it is built of marble, while Palmer's house is built of stone. No one, as he rides along the Grand Boulevard, ean fail to be struck with the great beauty of the Storey mansion, and were it not for that, the very magnitude of the pile would cause comment and ex- cite curiosity. What Storey could have done with so large a house no one can imagine; he could have kept a regiment of people there and then it would not have been overcrowded. Mrs. Storey will never occupy it, for she has not the money to complete it, and 1t is said now that the Catholics are negotiating for it with the 1dea of making a seminary or some sort of aschool, Itisone of the largest buildings designed for a private residence in the United States, and had it been completed according to Mr. Storey's desig there would have been few palaces in the country which would have excelled it1n 1ts furnishings and appoint- ments. If things go on for the next few years as they have lately the demoralization of the Storey estate will be complete. It is a sort of a football, that is kicked from one court to another, and the beauty of the thing is that all of the costs are piled on to the estate. The ‘I'imes is not now making more than one-fifth what it did when Storey was alive, which is nothing strange when it is considered that the re- ceiver is & druggist who knows no more about running a newspaper than he does aboout running a locomotive. The estate 18 being subjected to a constant drain and everybody is draining away at iv. There are two wills in the controversy— 1879 and 1881; and should the controversy be settled as to which was the proper one to probate some other point would be raised which would keep the estate in the courts. Itis charged that Storey was insane in 1881 and sane in 1879, and the fight ngainst the probate of the will of 1881 is because it deals more liberally by the widow than the other. e Man's Pineal Eye. 8t. James Gazette: It has long been a g;lzl.le to those who trouble themselves find a rational explanation for tradi- tions, how they originated the idea of & race of monster men With one single eye in the center of the forehead. Kor this widely-spread tradition no satisfactory rational explanation has been offered. It was, however, Hnuln{;ly alluded to in a_lecture 'by Baldwin Spencer at the Royal instilution on *“The Pineal Eye in Lizards," and though the allusion caunot readily be converted into an ex- planation, it affords ground for curious speculation. Deeply seated 1n the human brain there is a blunt *process’’ known as the pineal gland. Unlike the rest of the brain, 1t is hardened by a kind of chalky deposit, and its significance and function have ionz been a puzzle to anat- omists. One of the most celebrated specu- lations respecting it is that of Descartes, who suggested it might be the seat of the soul. Recent research, enlarged by studies 1n comparative embryology, have thrown fresh light on its signiticance. No vertebrate is without it, and in dif- ferent genera there 18 much ditference in the extent of its development. Through- out the Lacertilia it i8 much patronaged, and some it endsexternally in an eye with a well marked lensand retina, which lies just within an aperture of the skull nown as the parietal foramen. Whether in lizards this isin any way an organ of actual vision is doubtful. The eye is covered by a scale, very different, how- ever, from the surrounding scales; but even when this is sufliciently thin to be translucent, it is improbable the eye is of sny real service, The point of interest, however, 18 that structurally the eye is there, even if functionally it is valueless. In maoy forms lower than the vertebrates this median eye is met with, sometimes as the sole organ a vision throughout life, sometimes sup- lemented by paired eyes after passing rom the embryonic to the adult state, and there aro cases in which after the impaired eyes are developed the median eye is lost. From the relatively large size of the parietal foramen in some of the huge fossil reptilla there s little doubt they had effective median a‘fea. In living forms which have been studied this eye is always at the end of a prolongation of that part of the brain which. differing in length in other vertebrates, is the short and blunt pineal gland in man, In the language of embryologists man has either an undovuloKN or a degenerate gland which alsewhere is developed into & median eye with lens and retina, and the essentials of what we call an ordinary eye. Whether this fact has any real con- naction with tho old Greek and still ex- isting oriental traditiuns or not can be only matter of conjecture. A LARGE SIZED SWINDLE. The Morchants National Bank Reported to Have Boen Heavily Oonfidenced. THE NEW CHIEF TAKES CHARGE, Western Homeopathists In Council— Visiting Capitalists—~Orackermen Closeted—Celebrating the Fourth =Other City Matters, A Bank Victimized. A. F. Powell is reported to have ob- tained $4,500 from the Commercial Na- tional bank, Thirtcenth and Douglas streets, on drafts, nccompanied by forged letters of credit, on a New York City bank. The supposed fraudulent transac- tion took place on Tuesday. The bank received advices yesterday fiom the New York bank that no funds were to the credit of the party mak the draft. Powell came to Omaha on Sunday, went to Council Blutls on Monday, returned to this city Tuesday morning, and on Wednesday morning left for parts un- known. While Powell was in the city he stopped at the Windsor hotel and registered me Tracy, Minn. He was accompanied by a man who registered as J. J. Hartigan, also fiom Tracy. Hartigan has a wooden leg. Powell is ubout thirty-five years of age, dark, tall and slim, He represented himself as a cattle dealerand claimed to have a large number of beeves which he would soon ship to the South Omaha yards. Powell first appeared in Omaha, as far a8 can be learncd, last winter. He was then accompanied b[y his wife, They went to the Windsor hotel and cngnzcnl board. Ir a week he left. Mrs. Powell remained five or six wecks longer. The hotel proprietors presented the lady a bill, but she said she would be unable to pay it. She expected her husband daily. A few days clapsed when she was again asked to pay the bill. In a_day or two afterward Powell arrived. He was quite indignant at the way in which he alleged his wifs had been annoyed, and, paying his bill, left with her. After they had been gone a few days a representative from a com- mission firm in South Omaha, of which Mr. Waggonergis the senior, appeared and made inquiri Powell. He said that indi borrowed $50 from the firm upon the representation that he had a large num- ber of cattle to ship here and would put the stock in their hands to sell. After he had gone a few days the firm received adraftthrough an lowa bank, which he had obtained on the representation that he was traveling for the house. The draft was not paid. The tirm call him a “d-—d scoundrel.’” Tracy, Minn., was the place from which Powell registered at that time, and after he had gone letters and papers camo here from the same point. Detective Moynihan is working at the case and endeavoring to locate the man who coaxed $4.500 of the bank. There is a chance that Powell is square and will return. THE NEW CHIFF IN CHARGE, Captain Seavey Steps Into Marshal Cummings' Shoes, Chief of Police Seavey took charge of the police force at 4 o’clock yesterday at ternoon. Mayor Broatch and Members Bennett, Hartman and Galbert of the po- lice commission accompanied the chief to the police station and witnessed the transfer of the authority from Marshal Cummings to his successor. There were no formal ceremonies. Marshal Cum- mings merely took his clay pipe and some personal effects from one of the drawers in the jailer’s desk and stepped outside and Chief Seavey stepped in. The coramission then announced that they had appointed John McDonald dep- uty chief and Thomas Cormick captain of the force, and that no other appoint- ments would be made until it was ascer- tained what increase of the force would be likely to be made. Chief Seavey made an examination of the jailer’s books and records and with the accommodations of the departmentin general. He was on hand at roll call lnst night at 7 o'clock and was introduced to ull ot the members of the night force. He ave * his first lesson in discipline by ranging the patrolmen in line according to their size and send- ing them to their beats in two squads under the charge of Captain Cormick und Sargeaht Mostyn. In a talk witha reporter he stated that he did not look for any objection to his taking charge of the duties of the office before the council had acted upon the rules for the govern- ment of the force, He took the step at the direction of the mayor and the police commission, The appointments made bfi the new administration ot John McDonald as doputy chief of police and Thomas Cor- mick as captain, were received with very general approval. McDonald has served as deputy marshal for the past year, with ability. He 18 a big, ’level headed otohwan, and under- stands his business. He will prove a valuable aid to the new chief. The selection of Captain Cormick as captain of the force under the new sys- tem is a just recognition of faithtul ser- vices. Captain Cormick went on the po- lice force in April, 1884, and was as- signed to the Cuming street beat, the least important beat in the city. His :hlmi' was soon recognized, and he was transferred to the Farnam street beat where he remained until November of that year, when he was promoted to the position of court officer. He held this position one year when he was appointed captain of the force, and has since served in that capacity. He is clear-headed, cool-headed and courageous, knows his duty and never fails to perform it. Much of the efliciency of the old force was due to his labors against all kinds of difiicul- ties. That he will be successful with the enlarged force goes without saying. THE HOMEOPATHS. Opening ot the Thirtaenth Annual Convention. The western academy of homeopaths convened yesterday afternoon in the Y. M. C. A, hall in the Williams block, Fif- teenth and Dodge streets. The attend- ance numbered about thirty-five, of which was a fair sprinkling of ladies. The attendance 13 expected to be materi- rlly increased to-day. The gathering is he thirteenth annual session of the west- ern academy of homeopathists, and was called to order about 8 o'clock by the resident, Dr. C. H. Goodman, of St ,ouis. An address of welcome was de livered by C. L. Hart, president of the Nebraska™ State Homeopathic society. Dr. C. J. Sprague, president of the Omaha Homeopathioc Medical society, also delivered an add come to the delegates. Dr. C. H. G man responded to the addresses. The pnt:ldont appointed the following eom- inittees: Auditing Committee—Dr, Campbell, of Joliet, lIL.; Dr. Leonard Pratt, Whmn. L Credential Committee—Dr. Ci , O gn’n.t.h‘a.‘ Dr. Parsons, St. gfll‘. 'fl‘#«fi: lhgom agpre called for from the vari- ous bureaus, but » general disposition ‘was shown to pass them by untjl to-day, when it is ex s much T at- tendance will be present. Dr, ard Pratt, of Whealon, Lll., read an interest- ing paper compnsed by Dr. Evarts, of Denver, on urethral caléuli and their re- moval by extreme perineal urethrolomy. It was “discussed by Dr. Parsons, Dr. Crawford, Dr. Dinsmaor, Dr. Campbell and Dr. Sprague. The board of censors reported through the secretary, Dr. Bur- ger, a number of names for membership. The secretary was insttucted to cast a ballot for the entire number. A motion to adjourn until 9 o’clock this morning prevailed, and the opening seseion of the convention was over at 5 o’clock. South Omaha Postofliees. The South Omaha : postoflice was moved yesterday into the new building. The new oflice is fitted.up in good shape and has 220 call boxes and forty-nine lock boxes. It has been made a money order oftice, which will be a great con- venienee. Mr. Sloan, who has acted as anlnumor since the oftice was first estab- ished, is to be commended for his efforts to accommodate the people. Societies Looking For Homes. Senator Manderson has notitied the occupants of houses on his property, cor- ner of Thirteenth and Davenport streets to vacate, as he contemplates the erec- tion of a brick block, on which work will begin at once. This again throws the Woman's Christisn Temperance Union out of a contemplated location. They had designed buying a large structure on the corner and obtaining a lease of the ground. ‘The Woman's Aid society is also un- settled, Dr. Mercer having rented the building they have occupimfi west of the old city hall. The W. C. T. U. greatly regret now that they did not purchase the Bucking- ham property for $15,000 two years ago. It is now held at 000. AN OMAHA INVENTOR. He Gives to the Cable Line a Perfect Gripoer. N, Abbott, window dresser for S. P. Moser & Co., has just returned from Kansas City where he gave a practical test of agripper for cable line cars,which he has invented, Scveral Kansas City gentlemen have joined with Mr. Abbott 1 pushing his invention before the pub- lic. Itis claimed tobe the best and most promirent gripper attachment yet in- vented. It is especially adapted to steep inclines, of which Kansas City has many. When the cable line 1n that city started, there were numcrous incidents of cars missing hold and slipping baek. Mr. Abbott was then living there and these accidents suggested the need of a ‘more certain gripper. From that his invention sprung. ehnbgp. 1 An Imperative Necessity, What pure air is to an unhealthy locality, what spring cleaning is to the neat housekeeper, so is Hood's Sarsa- parilla to everybody at this season. ‘Che body needs to be thoronghly renovated, the blood purified and vitalized, the germs of disease destroyed.

Barbers have a trick for the country- men who visit the cltyrw‘d go into the shop to get shaved. They want to getoff as cheap as possible, but” generally they have the entire bill to pay before leaving. For instance, the barberWill take a piece of black pomatum and smearing it on his hand, run it through the countryman’s hair aud remark: “‘Youneed a shampoo. Look how dirty your hair is, you must have been about a smook-stack.” That catches him, and he has to pay for a shampuo, He gets whatis called in the rofession a ‘‘razzle-nzel’’ shuve. That 8, the razor is run over his face, and what is left belongs to him. That is the way the countryman isserved. ——— SUJACOBS Q] IN EVERY SECTION. e New Hampshire.—Mr. L.J.

George Schneider, employed at the sash factory of Huttig Bros, Manufacturing Co., Muscatine, Iowa, ssys: “About a year ago my wife was afflicted with both rheumatism and neuralgia, She had used numerous remedies with no apparent relief, Having learned of some of the cures affected by Athlophoros I bought some for her. I think it was four or five bottles she used, since which time she has been entirely well of both rhematism and neuralgia. As she was a very great sufferer I consider Ath- lophoros a very efficient remedy in curing such a case. W, C. McClain, clerk for Smith & Bone- steel, Druggists, Atlantic, Iowa, says: *“I have tried everything I knew of for my rheumatism, but nothing did me any good until Tused Athlophoros. It was in July, 1884, 1 was confined to the house for over a month, and was obliged to use crutches, I suffered with this rheumatism for about a year.
