e “THE MANDAMUS 1S 1SSUED, Judge Maxwell Orders the Elkhor Road to Appear in Qourt To-day. THE STRIKERS ARE ON HAND, Rallroad Wire Pallers Gathoring at LAncoln For the Convention To- day—A Memphis Marderer Arrested—State Hou [FROM TIfR DRE'S LINCOLN DURRAU.] ‘The writ of mandamus against the Fre- mont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley rail- . road was issued by the supreme court %eumm“ aud placed in the hands of heriff Millick, who served it on the local ogent of the road, The writ was issued by Clnef Justice Maxwell and reads as follows: Bupreme Court, % State of Nebraska, ‘To the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railrond: . ‘Whereas, In the actlon pending in sald court wherein you were respondents und the state of Nebraska ex rel the board of trans- portation of the state of Nebraska relator, udgiment was rendered by said court, Octo- er 4, 1357, that an alternative writ of man- damus Issue against you commanding you to comply with the order of the board of transportation of the atate of Nebraska mado by it September 24, 1887, ia a certain proceed- ing wherein you were respondent and the Lincoln board of trade and freight bureau was complainant. Now, therefore, we command you upon recelot of this writ, to perform the above recited judgment and command, or that you appear belore the supreme court of Nebraska at the city of Lincoln on the bth day of October, 1837, at 9 o’clock, to show why you refuse to do so. 1el Maxwell, chiet jus- tice, and tne seal of said court this 4th day of October, A. D., 1887, S ON HAND, The delegates are g for the re- publican state conyention which meets this evcninq. As usual in such cases the particular heelers and strikers of the railroads are fir8t on the ground, and a stran, hin the gates of the city would think, to listen in the hotel lob- bies, that _they had already nominated General Dilworth for supreme judge. Judge Post has rooms enga for s boom, and, notwithstanding the fact that the people over the state are demandin, in no uncertain voice the retention of Judge Maxwell on the supreme bench, the roads are embarking on onc of their characteristic fights to beat judge Max- well if possible, and if they find it 1m- poesible they will conduct a masterly retreat and swear that they never had a candidate in the field. The work of ‘gathering proxies continues and strenu- oue efforts are made to sccure proxies in the Lancaster _delegation to break, if rmsible, the effect of a solid delegation or Judge Maxwell und the control of railronds. The farther work is illus- trated by the telegrams sent to remote parts of the state by strikers on hand secking proxies from their counties for a seat in the delegation to which tha people would never elect them. The convention meets in Funke's opera house. Secretary Seeley, of the state committee, has diagramed the house, and has tickets were presented to the state as relics by on hand for each delegation, as well as nress tickets, and a certain number of general admission tickets for each dele- gation, There sre signs of new developments in the judicial contest, the friends of J. B. Strode urging his name tor district judge, in place of Allen Fieid, who seeks the second judgeship, Mr. Strode has & large following in Utoe county and 1n his former home, Cass county, and would undoubtedly be a stronger candidate in Lancaster county than Mr. Field. Dele- gates to this convention will reach the city this morning. WANTED FOR MURDER, An interesting case was having its bearing before Governor Thayer to-day, it being a requ y the gov- ernor of Tennes: young man now living in Valley county, Nebraska, who is wanted for murder and is under in- dictment for that crime at Memphis, The young man’s name is Al McMahon, and he is now under bonds, while his attorney, Thomas Darnell, sceks to pre- vent s being taken from the state. The ¥ouuz man’s claim is that the indictment for murder is a trumped up charge and that all that is wanted of him is as a wit- ness in & case there, and hence his refusal to go. utshul{ Sheriff Pear- son, of Memphis, who is here after him, states that the crime for which MoMahon is wanted is for participating in a mur- der. Itisalleged that early last spring, while he was employed at a stave factory near Memplis two of his fellow work- men, one of whom was a negro, became engaged in a quarrel.. McMahon sided with the white man and together with several other white employes attacked the negro, beat him to death and then threw his body into a creek. YESTERDAY'S COURT PROCEEDINGS.

Toreka, Kan., Oct. 2.—Boston Corbett, the man who shot John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Lincoln, was last evening declared hopelessly insane and a guardian was appointed by the pruhnloéudg: to take charge of his prop- erty. orbett was taken to the state ir- sane asylum, and will probably continue an inmate of the 1nstitution as long as he lves, a8 physicians say that it is impossiblble Jor him to be cured. The story of his bloody deed, which so effectually blighted his life, and which has finally followed him_into a straight-jacket will always be an interest- 1ng one, as being part of a great national tragody. Boston Corbett was an insignifi cant mian at his best, but_his name will always be linked with those of Lincoln and Booth, and how it became so will well bear repetition. It will be remembered that it was on April 14, 1865, that Booth assassinated the president. Ho mounted a horse and rode over into Maryland, Cavalrymen, after scouting the country for eleven days, traced Booth to a barn on Garrett’s farm near Port Royal. The soldiers surrounded the barn and demanded that Booth sur- render, but he refused. The barn was fired. After the fire had been started Boston Corbett stepped up to the barn and through a crevice shot Booth through the neck. Cor- bett fired without orders, He was something of a fanatic, and for a breach of discipline had been court-mailed and sentenced to be shot. The order, how- ever, was not executed, but he had%een drummed out of the regiment. While living in Boston, Mass., he joined the Methodist church. Never having been baptized he was at aloss to know what name to adopt, but after makingita subject of prayer he took the name of Boston in honor of the place of his con- version. He was always undisciplined and erratic. < Soon after he killed Booth, Corbett received an anonymous letter purporting to be written by a confederate officer, threatening Corbett’s life. he really believed that the threat would be carried out, and the matter weighed so heavily upon his mind that he became partially crazed. He believed that southern sym- pathizers were following him, and to this day he maintans that friends of John Wilkes Booth are on his track. 1t was in the hope of getting nwn{ from his imaginary pursuers that he came to Kansas more than tmeenlf'cnra ago and located in an uninhabited portion of the state. So effectually did Corbett conceal his identity that 1t was several years be- fore it way kmown 1n-Kansas that ho was the slayer of Booth. For several years pust he has been subject to _crazy spells, but never did any harm. During all his residence in Kansas he has carried a re- volver with him night and day so that he might be prepared to detend himself should he be discovered by the imagined avengers of Wilkes Booth. One of his pecularities was his pronounced opposi- tion to secret societics. By some means he learned that Booth was a member of & secret society, and he belivves that the membpers of that society are pledged to avenge their brother’s death. »~ He has {on-a farm in Cloud county for | years past, living in a log hut and with scant allowance of food and clothing. About one year ago he wasa delegate to the republican county convention. While the convention wus in progress Corbett was seized with one of his spells and advancing to the platform he pointed a pistol at the chairman, de- manded silence and proceeded to offer prayer, When he had con- cluded his prayer he ordered the convention to proceed. Corbett was appointed doorkeeper of the Ransas house of representatives last winter. ths conduet in the early part of the session was all right, but ‘one day toward the latter part of the session, while the house was in the wildest of a heated discussion, he created consterna- tion by appearihg on the spegker’s stand and drawing from under his coat a large revolver, he decla the house ad- journed. He was sent home, and has since lost his mind altogether, i C. W.

Burlington Hawkeye: Last May the body of & murdered woman was found on a farm near the city of Dubuque. She was recognized as the wire of the owner of the place, and suspicion was soon fast- ened on him as the perpetrator of the crime, it becoming known that the two had not lived peaceably together for & long time. The trial came off in Du- buque last week, and resulted 1na ver- dict of murder in first degree. ‘The dramatic circumstances of the proceed- ing were the hearing of the evidence of the children of the murdered woman and the prisoner, whose testimony was direct and convineing, and left no doubt as to the prisoner’s guilt. s The laws of 1878, which re-established capital punishment in Iowa, also pro- vides that the jury which rendera a ver- dict of murder in the first degree, shall decide whether the penalty shall be im- prisonment for life, or death. In this case the jury decided for death, and unless the governor shall interfere with executive mercy, Kennedy will be the first murderer in lowa under the new law to pay with his life for the expiation of his crime. The same law which re- established the death penalty, prescribes that the prisoner cannot be executed until he has been confined in the peniten- tiary for a period of not less than one nor more than _fifteen years. This pro- vision was made for the lpu ose of pre- venting, as far as possible, the execution of prisoners who may be innocent. It is a wise provision, except for the con- demned man. It compels him to look forward for what must seem to him an mterminable period to the day which is to be his last, 3 Kennedy, the Dubuque Times says, will probably apply for a new trial. But he has had a fair trial and under the testimony he cannot but be found guilty again, A Useful Precaution. It is a useful precaution for the tourist, the commercial traveler, or the emigrant to the west, totake along Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, Invalids who travel by steamboat or rail should provide them- selves with it, in order to prevent or remedy the nausea which the jarving ahd vibration of vehicles n transitu often causes them. Vastly preferrable is it for this simple, but needful purpose, to the heady unmedicated stimulants of commeree. Un board ship, it not only remedics sea sickness, but neutralizes the pernicious effects of water slightly brackish, which, if unqualified, is apt to give rise to irregularities of the bowels, cramps in the abdominal region and dys- pepsia. To the aerial poison of malaria it is an efticient antidote. Sick headache, heartburn, and wind upon the stomach, are promptly banished by it. [t health= fully stimulates the kidneys and blad- der’'and nullifies the early symptoms of rheumatism. Patent Leather Shoes. “Can’t patent leather boots be kept from cracking®* Hump, well, I should say they can. Why not?”’ And the fash- 1onable bootmaker whom an mquisitive Mail and Express reporter approached on the subject shrugged his shoulders and smiled the smile of one who knows much, . “"But how can you prevent this destruc- tion?" ‘‘Easiest thing 1o the world, Of course I don’t mean that this cheap trash which is sold for patent leather can be made to look well after a couple of days' wear, but good stuff may be preserved until the soles wear off--by the way, quite an unusual thing nowadays. First a great difficulty is brought up in the buying. No fine shoe can be found in the store that will exactly fit. Patent leather, un- like other foot coverings, must be perfectly shaped to the wearer's foot, otherwise creases will immediately form, which if not attended to will make great cracks. Now a good shoe of this kind should, with proper care, last the average man two seasons, and will at the end of this time be scratched, to be sure, but not cracked. Ever{ coupleof days a bath of oil shouid be given the boots. Any oil will do, but neat’s-foot is preferable, and once a week, at least linseed oil shoula beapplied. Tiis treatment will make the leather soft and pliable.. After each ap- plication the shoe should be wiped dry with a mufih woolen rag, and there you are. The tirade made by some medical experts against patentleather amounts to nothing, for this material makes a com- fortable and healthy covering for the foot, and when made properly acmits all the air necessary to keep the skin and circulation in perfect order.” *'Is it being worn as much as ever?” *Bless you, yes, and a hundred times moro. I myself have made as many shoes of this as of any other leather this year, and, putting it down in dollars and cents, patent leather saves & great deal in ‘shines’ to the wearer. ‘The bootblacks cry it down, but sensible people sec its economy and clamor for it. ——— Disgusting Skin Diseases. What spectacle is more disgusting than that of & man or woman with a skin dis- ease which shows itself in pimples and blotches on hands, arms, face and neck? It is simply impure blood. Sce what BrANDRETH'S PILLS did for a chronic case: For four years I wasin the mounted infantry in the U. 8. army, residing dur- ing that time principally in Texas. Al- most all of that time I had a chronic skin disease, characterized by an erup- tion over the entire surface of my legs and thighs, arms and chest. The doctors term is eczema. I had given up all hopes of ever being cured, when BrRANDRETH'S PILLS were recommended to me. I concluded to try them, angd did so, and I have thanked God daily since then that I'did so. I think I used them altogether for about three months, and, by that time, was completely cured and have never had any trouble since, My skin is a8 clear as any one’s.

He is narticularly strong 1n dealing poker hands. Ina gathering of fiv he dealt off-hand to one a j; to another a pair of queens, 0 another & pair of kings, and reserved for himself pair of aces.

Immediately tie magician was asked to teach two of tho party the trick, they saying that they would pay liberally tor the Knowledge.
