Justice Behurz ofticiated. It is said that the Northwestern company has settled the uestion of damages with Perkins, al- though there were grave doubts as to the company’s liability, Perkins having been drunk at the time of the accident. The case brought against Dr. Cook came to an end in the district court yes- terday, the result being just what his friends and those best knowing the facts predicted. After hearing all that his prosecutors had to offer the judge took the case away from the jury, and ordered the jndgment in favor of the doctor. There seems to have been no occasion for ever starting the case, but as it was started it is gratifying to those who have beheved the doctor to be all right, to thus have the matter cleared up. ———— For Sale, Two drug stores in central Nebraska.

SOME NEW BLUFFS ENTERPRISES Sheriff Reel Declines toServe the Oak- land Warrants—An Omaha Girl's Spree—The MBoat Club— New Boller Works, The Silent World, & Yesterday there was a large audience gathered in the chapel of the institution for the deaf and dumb to witness the closing exercises of the year. It was a pleasing oceasion, and quite diflerent in many respects from the usual closing day or graduating exercises. Not only were the graduating pupils given a place on the programme, but there were showings of the methods of instruction, and the results of the training. The platform was beautifully adorned with flowers, and green festoons served as a Ieusin% ound, Snperintenden Wyckof p and the exerci: were appro- \\ ely opened with prayer by Rev. G, V. Crofts. Several liftle girls went through a pleasing exercise, it bein| a May pole dance, the bright col- ored ribbons being woven back- wards and forwards around a pole stand- ing in the center of the stage. k‘unlm‘mi this came an exhibition of the physical culture which is being attended to in the institution. Two of the young men, W. E. Dobson and James Conaty, gave an Indian club exercise. ‘They were very skillful in the swinging of these through a complication of movements. One of the most interesting features of the programme then followed, It was a showing of the methods of instruction. Prof. McDermid explained the methods of teaching language. He illustrated the methods by scveral of the youngest of the Tupiln. little boys and girls who had only been 1 the 1institution since last fall. When one bears in_mind the fact that these children come into the in- stitution with no more knowledge of English than of Hebrew or Greek, 1t ms wonderful that they should gain so rupidly, especially when they are not given the advantage of all their faculties. Prof. Spruitt then gave a class exercise in grammar, the uu|pils being further advanced. The rapidity and accuracy with which they analyzed sentences, drawing diagrams of them, showed that they had become wonderfully proficient. ‘The patience and skill requisite to bring these pupils to such a degree of profi- ciency was also un‘y:mmt when the methods were thus made clear. A number of the pupils were openly questioned on American history, and other subjects, Those in the audience fired questions at them at will, and some of the questions, answered so promptly and correctly, would have sorely puzzled many in the audience. Among the ques- tions were: *‘What was the date of the battle of Shiloh?” ‘Name the generals commanding.” ‘“Who commanded the confederate forces on the ,first day, and who on the second?’ Such queries, asked by the audience, were answered so promptly and so accurately in every de- tail as to cause the liveliest applause. ‘The rest of the programme was carried out by the members of the graduating cluss. Miss Ollie Tracy recited in the sign language “Maud Muller.” It wasa vivid picturing of that summer scene, and was gracefully done. Mr, Charles Goodall gave an essay on ‘‘The Savages of North America,” The essay was read aloud by one of the professors, while the young gentlernan gave it in the sign lan- guage, the audience thus being given an opportunity of comparing the beauties ot both modes of expressing thought. He handled the Indian question with much frankness and manliness. While he did not believe that because the Indians were here first that they had the right to for- ever hold the land, yet he thought the Indians were human and should be treated fairly. The talk of extermination wus not just. The Indians had done nothing to warrant their extermination. The stories of the massacres were one- sided. The Indians wrote no histories from their stand-point. He urged fair, humane treatment. He believed the rem- nants of the tribes were progressing, and should be encouraged to move on toward a civilized life. i Miss Nellie Conkling gave a plensmg essay on “The Benefits of Education. ‘While the theme is an old one, she pre- sented her thoughts in a fresh, clear way, illustrating the various advantages which education had over ignorance, the happi- ness and helpfulness whieh came from education, She clung to the belief that there would be chances to continue de- velopment throughout eternity. Miss Nellie Hollingsworth gave an ex- cellent essay on **The Past and Present.”. She drew many striki contrasts be- tween what had been and what is. Miss Kate Jackson chose as the subject of her essay, ‘‘Preparation for Life.” The thoughts were well arranged and clearly 8 . Education and the formation of right_habits, with a solid foundation of moral principles, were the chiet features of preparation stated by her. 'These she enlarged upon, and her rhetoric and illustrations were very pleasing. One of the choicest numbers on the programme was the recitation, in sign languagoe, of *‘Curfew Shall Not Ring To- night," by Miss Winnie Emerson. See is a graceful young lady, and 1t scemed even to those who were very familiar with this poem that the had never realized its force and beauty -before. She pictured the scene so vividly that one could almost see the ponderous bell swing- ing backwards and forwards, and the maiden clinging to its great iron tongue. The closing cssay was by Paul Lange. He is a semi-mute, who has completely lost his hearing, but still retains speech. He gave his essay verbally. The delivery was wonderful.” No one could realize that the speaker could not hear the words which he uttered with so much force. He handled his subjectin & masterly manner. He briefly, clearly stated the chief argu- s upon which the protectionist reli As a fitting cloring to so excellent a programme some little girls joined 1n re- citing in the sign language the Lord’s prayer. ‘There was a large and very creditable art showing in the parlors.” The work there exhibited was all done by pupils, and some of it was excecllent. There were many citizens who went out to the institution yesterday to attend the ex- ercises, and they improved the opportu- nity also to inspect the art display. 'he pupils were busy yesterday after- noon preparing to go to their homes on their vacation visit. The year has proved to be a very satisfactory one, and the trustees and others interested do not seem to have an occasion for any words except of praise, B Serious Sport, Three printers, Vincent Robb, D. W, Sloan and Daun Delahoyd, came over on the- dummy train late Monday night. The two seemed to have a grudge against Robb, who was charged with beinga non-union printer, All had been drink- ing some, and Robb was set upon by the other two, as they claim, more to ecare him than to do him any barm. On reach- ing this side Robb jumped off the train aod went up the strect shouting for the police. Officer Unthank had just been informed by & passenger on the train that two men were lq ng to rob a third, aud so when he foun: b he readily believea the latter's story that two strangers were trying to got the best of him. The officer left Robb at the Metro- politan hotel, and hunted up -the other two. He found them in a Main street sa- loon, and arrested them, Yesterda; morning Robb declined to prosecute, an then he was arrested and clmr¥m| with boing drunk and disturbing the peace. Late yesterday afternoon the trio had a hearing, and Robb and Delahoyd were discharge Sloan was fined. The dif- ficulty seemed to be over union matters, and no attempt at robbery, as was first given out. - Pow, ner. The following telegram purporting to be from Tracy, Minn., and appearing in the Mitchell, Dak., Republican, under date of June 3, is an interesting chapter in the swindle by which Dr. Dinsmoor, of Omaha, was swindled out of $4,500 by Powell. It is cluimed that Powell paid Hartigan $3,500 of the money. On the day before Dr. Dinsmoor was victim- ized, Powell was at the Pacific house in this city. ‘He telephoned over the river to Hartigan, who was at the Windsor hotel. Hartigan came over in the eve- ning, and both occupied the same room, and both registered together as from St. Louis. ~ Hai scemed to carry the bag and paid the bills, The next morn- ing they left together for Omaha. In view of these facts this alleged telegram is interesting reading: J. J. Hartigan, of this place, has been vie- to the amount of $21,000. A stranger Powell came along and proposed to start a bank. The organization was effected and the concern started, though Powell put m no eapital to speak of. He then used a certificate of deposit to an allezed brother at Tracy for $11,000, The brother went east and had the certiticate eashed by a bank in N York. Before cashing the certificate ew York parties telegraphed to Powell racy and received the reply that the money was on deposit. Having worked his deep laid scheme Powell skipped out of ‘Traey as soon as he had finished his part in assisting his brother to have the bogzus cer- tiflicate cashed.

Some time ago some warrants were placed in Sheriff Reel's hands for the arrest of about nineteen persons in Council Bluffs, charged wita selling liquors. The warrants wereissued by an Oukland justice. The sheriff sougnt ad- vice from the county attorney, and in ac- cordance with that advice has returned the warrants to the justice 1ssuing them. The following was the opinion of Colonel Daily: Perry Reel, Sherlff—Sir: On examination of the warrants in your hands for execution, and which were issued by one Henry May, & justice of the peace at Oakland, In this county, 1 find there are petitions now on file in the clerk’s office praying for injunctions against all of the persons for whom you have warrants, and that the time for hearing of said applications has been fixed for the 13th of this month, in this city. As the policy anda spirit of the Iaw 18 to abate the nuisance rather than to retaliate for past offenses, and in view of the further fact that no good can be subserved by carrying the persons named in the warrants, together with the witnesses, a distance of fifty-two miles at an enormous expense, when the same procecdings can as well be had in this city, whereall the defend- ants and perhaps witnesses reside, I there- fore advise you to either roturn the warrants to the justice from whose office they were issued, or to hold them to await the adjudica- tion of applications for temporaty Writs of injunction.

Pall Mall Gazette: Mr. Hiram Maxim, the well known inventor, whose auto- matic gun is one of the most remarkable weapons ever invented by man, has just returned from a visit to Russia, where he has had the privilsfie of being received by the czar. Mr. Maxim took his gun over with him in order to convince the Russian authorities that it really was what it professed to be—namely, an au tomatic gun which when once set going would go on forever—a fact which no one ever appreciates until he sees the un actually at work. When he got to gL Petersburg he found many most intel- ligent officers who had read descriptions of the gun, and even seen it in engrav- ings, who could not rid their heads of the idea that some manual labor was re- quired to fire it, and bets were exchanged in his presence as to the impossibility of keeping up a fire at even half the rate which 1t is able to attain. Mr. Maxim received a very cordial welcome at the Russian capital, and he had but little diftienlty in conyincing the minister of war--whose name he declares it is quite impossible for any Anglo- Saxon to pronounce without locating his jaw—of the advantages of his ma- chine gun. At present he has only built ne to suit the English cartridge. He fll undertaken to build a gun to suit the WE WANT YOUR TRADE.

HENRY BISEMAN & C0.§ Nos. 314, 316, 318 and 320 BROADWAY, COUNCIL BLUFFS, - - - IA Muscovite ammunition, tor the cartridge is the soul of the gun. THE CHIEF INTEREST of his visit, however, centered in his ex- cursion to Gatschina and his reception by the czar, Mr. Maxim was to _have taken s gun to the palace, but on his arrl\'infi at the station the minister of war heg?i him not to take his gun through. He said that the emperor was very inuch pressed with business; they had no end of papers for him to read through and sign, and if Mr. Maxim were oncoto ge his gun into the imperial presence, all hopes of getting any business done would disappear, for the emperor took so keen an interest in all such matters that he was apt to become absorbed in them, to the detriment of other business which the minister did not wish to have post- oned. Mr. Maxin reluctantly consentea go leave his gun behind,and went to Gats- china agmed with nothing but an album of photographs. Un arriving at Gatschina he was ushered into a waiting-room,comfortably furnished, where a capital dinner was served him, and he was waited upon by a regiment of officials in elaborate uni- forms. After he had refreshed himsclf and made his toilet, he was conducted by one high lullcugnnry through endless es, and handed over to the care of aides-de-camp, who, after a little parley, ushered him into'the imperial presence. The czar stepped forward and GREETED HIM KINDLY, and introduced him to the Grand Duke A\%ichfl\!l. who was ‘present at the inter- view. Mr. Maxim was much impressed with the palace of the czar. e describes Alexander I11. as Heing a man of imper- il presence, tall, stately, not in the least degree oo:sulem. with an eye as clear as as if he had been, Jike Mr. Maxim him- self, a teetotaler of the state of Maine. He is s'ightly inclined to be bald, but 18 in the prime of life, full of vigor and in- telligence. It was impossible to look into his clear, open countenance without realizing the absurdity of many of the stories current in the Enghsh press. The Grand Duke Michael is less prep ossess- ing in appearance, and a trace of royal urple in the wrong place seemed to rmply that he was less absteminous than the emperor. “Where is your gun, Mr. Maxim?" asked the czar. “T have not brought it,” said Mr. Maxim in French, ‘‘as I feared you would not have time to look at it." ‘I'he emperor shru and looked at the grand duke with an air of disappointment. Mr. Maxim had it on his tongue’s end to l:x the blame on the war minister, who had, so sorely against his will, induced him to leave his ffln behind but reflecting with shrewd Yan- kee sagacity that if he blamed the war minister his chances of securing contracts to supply the Russian army with his suto- ed his shoulders GREAT Sacrifice Sale! —AT— Eiseman’s People’s Store During This Week.

Never had he a more interested listener; the czar questioned him closely concern- g all the details of his gun, and dis- cussed the wnole question with the close interest of a mechanic. “‘But why have you left your® own country to come to England?"” asked he. Mr. Maxim explained that as his busi- ness was to make weapons of destruc- tion, it was necessary for him to take up his abode in a continert where the busi- ness of destruction was the chief occupa- tion of mankind, In the New World they have something else to do than to kill'each other. Therefore he came to the Old World, where implements of slaughter were n request. The czar laughed and continued his inquiries about the gnn. ‘The conversation, which was began in ¥rench, was soon changed to English, which the caar spoke with ease and ac- curacy, but with a foreign accent. Mr. Maxim promised to come back agzin in the autumn and bring with him a gun adapted to the Russian cartridge.
