Oxford, n Furnas county, puts in the sec- ond bid. It offers ten acrés of ground for o Bite, and asks the sum of $20,000 to erect the ecessary buildings, procure appuratus and or all other expenses. Columbus agrees to give ten acres as a site and a whole scction” for an endowment fund. It does not ask for an appropriation directly, but desires the logislature to author- fize the commissioners of public lands and buildings to _erect suitable buildings at the expease of the state, leaving everything to the discretion of the above named board. The thriving town of McCook, cut in Red ‘Willow county, comes in with a_bid similar to that of Oxford, Ttaereos todonate ten meres of ground and wants the state 1o put up $25,000 to complete the job. McCook is also @ little fastidious about the name, and ex- resses a desive to have the bantling called + $Pho Republican Valle; Normal School.” Holdredge, in Phelps county, raises Me- Cook's bid, and olers twenty acres of ground 28 a buit.

Toprka, Kan., Feb. 4.—|Special Telogram e Bre]—The house of representatives to-duy adopted a resolution calling the atten- tion of President Harrison to the fact that Kausas was the banner republican state of the union, having eiven $2,000 republican plurality, and that it also had a larger ratio of volunteer soldiers thun any other state in the union, and declaring that this entitled the state to suggest the name of one mem- Der of Harrison's cabinet, and that Senator Preston B, Plumb is the choice of Kansas for the position. The resolution then cn- dorses Plumb as one of the best examples of what the west can produce, a man of broad and progressive ideas and nossessed in the highest degree of the knowledge and busi- noss qualifications necessary to satisfactorily fill a great public position. Mr. Burton, who introduced the resolution, called attention to the newspaper reports that Senator Allison had been tendered a cabinct position, and declined. Ho believed the great west was entitled 1o one representative in the cabinet, and that no western man was better fitted for the place than Plumb, The resolution was adopted unanimously AT The Diplomatic Bill. 10N, Feb. 4,—The house commit- tee on foreign affairs to-day decided to recom- mend non-currence in and a conference on the senate amendments to the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. A uumber of these amendments met with favor, but the committee resolved to adopt the course above outlined as the best calculated to secure speedy action upon the bill, The amendment appropristing 330,000 for the protection of American interests in Samoa met with uuau- imous approval, but will be allowed to go with the other amendments into_conference. In the case of the amendment appropriating $100,000 for the establishment of a naval sta- tiou'at Pago ’ago, Sumon, it was hold that the paragraph in the naval appropriation bill relating to the same subject (and much broader in its terms) was better framed than the senate amendment and in addition was piaced in the bill, where it belonged, 5o it is suid chat it will be dropped in- conference if early action on the part of the senate upon upon the naval appropristion bill is assured.

HIS OATH MUST BE RESPECTED Ana Must Be Based Not on Mere Suse of His Guilt— Brown Case, Verdicts acts and on The Consider the Facts, Des Moises, Ia, b, (4.—[Special 1 gram to Tur Bee]—Itis so seldom that a liquor dealer is victorious in the lowasupreme court that peenline interest attaches to the case of A. C. Hoagland, a Washingtou counts pharmacist, the decision of W. R. Lewis being rsed by the court this morning on Hoagland's appeal. The defendant and W H. Hoagland were jointly indicted v charge of maintaining a nuisance by the un lawful traffic in intoxicating liquors. They were jointly tried, and the defendant alone convicted. Hoagland is a practicing physician at Brighton, and owns a drug store. He ob tained o perwmit in December, 1886, from the county board of supervisors, allowing him to seil liquor for medical or other purposes nov forbiaden by law. It appears that several sules were made in the next v _weeks, and & jury held that the druguist 1 violated the law, although the wituesses tostified that they all had some complaint that needed the lgquor, The lower court dropped down on the druggist ng him $1,000. The su- premo court, in reversing the decision of the lower court, uses this somewhat remarkable language, cousidering the prohibitory bias of the court: “The finding that the defendant had rea- son to helieve that the applications to pur- chase wore not made in good faith is con- trary to every fuct testificd w by every wit- ness in the case. It is equivalont to a finding thut every wituess for the state, as well as the defendant, wero willfal and corrupt perjurers, Verdicts must be founded upon facts, and not upon mere suspicion,” The Poisoning Cas Masox City, Special Tele- gram to Tur Bre|—Juryman Howe, who was taken seriously ill while in the jury box last Saturday, was able to-day to again as- sume duty. The defense continuel their e idence, establishing the general reputation of the defendant in the neighborhood in which she hived, as good. Phillips, the druggist, could uot identify the defendant as the one who purchased poison, but exhibited a r eg- sister which showed that poison had been sold. William Carr said that on the night when Mrs, Brown came to his house he saw her vomit, and she was 80 weak she could not walk straight. Frank Fisher testified that after the inquest Hiram said to the ac- cused in his presence: “Sarah, they suspi cion me. God knows I did not do it. Do you think I did?" and she made no reply, but looked determined. He then said: “God knows you didn't do it. I don’'t think you did it Post- ‘master Rasted admitted taking a telegram which was forged by a detective, reading, “Investigation at Mason City shows Mrs. Brown guilty. If she moves arrest her. Kirk.” To this she replied that she did not see how they could prove an innocent person guilty. Rose E. Ackerman said that when Clancy repeated to. Mrs. Brown, “I am going to put this onto Hiram and end this miserable hfe,”” she said she could plain all this to the court, but 1t would give Bessie Miller away. She had never asked Mrs. Brown why she had come there, or what kept her so much in the house. Wit- ness testified that when she asked accused o tell her about the poisoning she answered that she believed mice or rats got into the poison and carried it into the water. The witnesses for the prosecution on the direct examination related many incidents which, unexpluined, would have left an impression of guilt, but the rigorous cross-examinations almost ‘invariably put a different construc- tion on what would at first glance appear to be very damaging testimony. o0 o On Trial for a Brutal Crime. 0s1aE, Tu., Feb, 4.—[Special to Tie Bee.] —Northern Iowa getting wmore than its share of notoriety, from the frequency of its murder trials. The third one within two months is the case of Warren Murphy, ac- cused of the murder of Henry Stocum, now on trial at Osage before Judge John C. Shor- win. The story of the crime is as follows: On Sunday night, July 15, between 9 and 10 o'clock, Henry Stocum, a New York orphan boy who came west some seven years ago, a quict, peaceful, moffensive fellow, was going home, when he met three young men in the rond and stepped aside to let them pass. One of the largest ones, a boy by the name of na_O'Brien, without a word strock him over the bhead, knocking him down. He hit him soveral times while he was_down, and wheu Stocum got upon his nds and knees O’Brien jumped on kis back and _choked him, call- ing on Warren Murphy to ‘give it to him.” While O'Brien held Stocum Mur- phy kicked him in a bratal manner. Finally, after they had pounded him as long as they dared, they let hun up, and, bruised and bleeding, he started to o away from them, but they followed him up, kicking and beat- 1dg him unmercifully. When within o few rods of a residence the assailants left Sto- cum, and although he was then in a dying condition, he made his way into the hou: where he'rolated the outrageous treatment ad received from the hauds of O'Brien and Murphy. A warrant was issued for their and the boys were taken before a justice, and were liborated upon the pay- ment of a nominal fine, Stocum lingered along in great pain unuil the following Saturday, when he died, re- marking a short time before death came ihat “if he should die it was because the boys pounded him 80.” County Attorney 13rowie at once drew up a wavrant for the urrest of the boys on the charge of murder in the first egree. O'Brien had his trial last October and was found guilty of manslaughter and was sentenced 10 a term of years in the poni- tentiary. About a year ago Stocum was a witness to a crimé_committed by O'Brien and the latter was afraid that Stocum would testify against him. He and Murphy also held a grudge against Stocum on account of testimony he once gave In a law suit. It is generally considered that the state has a strong caso against Murphy but he manifests Do uneasiness at Lis impending fate, A $140,000 Blaze.

It was to release men who had been inVeigldd into service on the Maryland oyster boats. These men, accord- ing to all accounts, had been held in bondage, periect white slaves, and subject to_all sorts of ill treatment.

One of the fa- vorite methods of punishment with several of the skippers was to hang the offender up by the thumbs, with the toes oarcly touch- ing the deck, keepmg them in this position until they fainted and then flogging them back to consciousucss.
