Itissugeested that if Billings was sincere he would have sent in his _resignation, properly ad dressed, to the board of ~regents, in stead of to the live stock breeders of the state, to take place at once. It is ar. gued that Billings’ promises of the past all failed to materializo, and that his claims that he has two diseases in_hand (*“fatal to herds') and fecls impelled to stay until he shows up a ‘e all,” is a mere subterfugo and intended to create sympathy and secure the appropriation for the luboratory. *“Ihis i8 1ike the man,” said a prominent legislator to-d “You must remember that the United States pays Billings, and that it is impossible for any state body to compel his resignation or take away the appropriation from whict he draws his bread and butt Provide for the laboratory and you proyide o more extensive hog-Killing experiment sta- people ating the s tion. .1 am opposed to any appropriation that fends to keeping upa place for hog quack- cry.

Minebart's Trial. The trustees of St. Paul’s Methodist Epis- copal church give it out that Minehart's trial will have to take place at_some other pli unless compelled by a higher ecclesi authority. Until to-day it has been generally understood that his trial would take place in that chureh. The trustees of St. Paul's are united as to this, and it is learncd t decision has been reached after mature con- sideration. They have no fear, however, thbat Minehart will be able to swork them harm. The prominent membe t. Paul’s the erratic preacher is after, have no fear of his sting. It 1s probable, 1t is said, that the trial will take place at Grace church, where it properly belongs. District Court Grist. TPhe whole of this forencon was occupied before Hon. A. W. Field with speeches of counsel to the judge in the case of the Den- ver, Texas & Gulf railroad company vs Hutchins & Hyett, coal dealers. About $1,000 s imed on the side of the railroad and about $5,000 on the part of the defendants. Mr. fluywood and Mr. Rich addressed the jury for the plaintiffs and Captain Billingsley and Mr. W. H. ‘Woodward for the defendants. The matter is now with the jury. Judge Chapman heard 1n his court the balance of the testimony in the case of Silas H. Burnham vs the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quincy rairroad com- pany. The cause was fairly heard several weeks ago. ‘The plaintiff claims a part of the right of way of the road near Liucol alleging that 1t had never been prope condemned. When the case was before the court vefore, the only point left was as to alien possession, the railroad claiming to have occupied the track since 1871, Decision reserved. Jolin Schultz in petition alleges that his domestic happiness Las been hopelessly wrecked by one Charles Klamp, and asks the court to grant hhm judgment for 3500 and the costs of suit. The preliminary papers in the case weroe filed to-day, and they are by odds the rankest ever filed in the district court of Lancaster county. William J. Maxwell sceks to secure judg- ment against Henry Knight for 3,000, inter- est and costs of suit, and therefor filed his petition to-day. The action is grounded on a promisory note given to Henry T. Clarke, duly endorsed and transferred to the plain tiff before it became due. It is understood that the defendant in answer will set up fail- ure of consideration, and if so the plaintiff will become the “innocent purchaser.” City News and Notes.

Rosewater to avpear bofore a Sixteenth street justice court to de- fend a suit brought by C. Jacobson, editor of the Swedish Post, for alleged services in tha A change of venue was taken to Justicoc Wade's office, where the time for bearing was fixed for yesterday after noon. This fact is worked into a great sen sation by a local paper that has just passed outof the hands of the bankruptey court v days ago election Under flaming teadlines the following state ment appears in that sheet: * Colonel ™ Jucobson, as publisher of the Swedish Post, has sued Editor Rosewater for §185, which, he eclaims, Mr. Roscwater owes him for services at the polls. The “colonel’s” story, in substance, is that he had wagged his Jaw and used his pen for lo cating the 1 on uny nam, and had been paid sums, in all amounting t0 830, He winds up as follows: *“My total bill 1s #185, He does not owe this much; he only owos me #4, but [ bring suit for this to wzet a chance for what belongs to me." The “colonel,” as he has been dubbed facetously, is a red-visaged, coarse-grained, beersonked strawberry blonde, and weighs about one hundred and cighty pounds, “‘Col- onel” Jacobson dresses in good style, with an especial fonduess for a silk tile and a well- fitting top coat. He came to Omaha about three years ago with a card representing him =2s the agent of a New York paper dealer with whom he claimed relationship. His pretended object in locat- ing waa to cstablish a large paper mill. But the mill is still n his imagination, where it doubtloss will remain for many a day, Since his advent inOmaha the *colonel”! has been publisher, editor and proprictor of a readerless sheet, tnrough which he has been able tolevy professional biackmail and carr: on u systematjc trafic in alleged political in- fluence, and_fmposture upon busitess men from whom he has extorted small sums for advertising they had not ordered. With the alleged duty of editing this paper, Jacobson has mingled those of manag: ing little boomlets, marching at the head of bands to renade councilmen at their own expes pressingwould-be spirants for higher oftices that they were fitted by nature and trainng for such places and inducing them to let bim peddle their nam ound town to the mortitication of their fricnds who were well acquainted with Jacobson’s method and influence and finally attempting o rope in nominecs of all parties to pay him liberal prices for the alleged “in- tluence’ of his shect in the pending cam- paigns, s methods, impecuniosity and cheel, wned for him the contempt of his men, who have from time to time spurncd him in their meetings and failed to support hum in the unworthy schemes with whicl he has endeavored to compromise them, An'evidence of the fact is found in the fol- ng cpisode detailed by Justice Ander- Phere 1s no Swedish paper in this city, Of course there are two sheets here, but " mean they don’t have any influence. One of these, the Swedish Post, is published by yacobson. It is a prostitute. It will charge yo'1 almost Now York Herald prices and then take what it can get for pay.” The judge was asked to particularize and said that two ago when he was run- ning for office of justice of the peace he had experience with Jacobson which warranted him in talking as he did. “After my nomination, Jacobson came to me and said that I ought to have a cut of my self in his paper, as also a write-up of my- self, because it would help me to et elected. I asked him what a picture and write-up would cost, and he said they would be worth $100. Isaid that that would be too much, He then offered to do it for £50, and 1 said that was too much. It would be ridiculous for me to get a cut of myself and a big story written about me when I was running for only such a little office as ju: tice of the peace. Besides, there weren't twenty people in my ward who would be in- fluenced by his paper. I am a Swede by birth, but I'am an American by association and afffiation, und Jacobson couldn't help me, and 1 told him, “Well, he went away. Some time latel friend called on me and said that my pictu Judge Beneke's and Commissioner Turner’s were_tacked to a telegraph pole on Farnam street and labelled as three of the anarchists who were to be hung in Chicago.

He went and got old Medson's, who 1t is said, looks like me. He made a little change in it so as to make the cut look a little like me, and then had it made somewhere, **After the eloction Jacobson presented his bill for this work, which 1 had not ordered. The bill was for 1 told him 1 had not or- dered any work or picture and would not pay $50 for what he had done. ‘Well, he says, ‘I printed the matter, as yon saw, and it is worth something; now you just pay me whatever you want to. I took out my check book and gave him a check for $20, for which he gave me a receipt in full, “Later in the season a number of these coal men gol out a number of suits for bills owing them. Among them was Hank- inson, He bad a Wil ainst Jacobson for §18. A constable callea 1o see Jucobson to collect it, but that fellow gave hun a bill against me for $50, in_which I was given credit for £20. I told the constable to ha a Jucobson make out an itemized bill, This Jacobson did, but what do you suppose L bill contaimed! — Why it was actually a copy of the 20 bill which 1 nad paid, and the receipt for which I held. The constible took the bill buck to Jacobson, showed b to him, and what do you suppose nesald! ‘Does Anderson keep his receipts like that?’ The constable said he did. Now, why I'say Jucobson’s paper is a pros. titut “I know what you are after,” said Judge Anderson, laughing. *L saw bis bill agains Tk Bek and [ advised him not to press it.” The case above referred to cano to trial yesterday aftornoon. Jacobson occupied the and for half an hour and was represonted by an attorney. He had threo witnesses. Mr. Rosewater had subparnacd no witnes and appeared alone on his side on the ness stand. He dispensed with the ser of an attorney and conducted his own cass Jacobson's testimony showed that he had sougit for points which he desired to usc in support of his views am street as tne site for the hall. These points were given to him by Mr. Rosewater and af- terwards published in the readerless sheet which Jacobson claims to edit.

HAD NO PITY FOR RER PANGS One Woman's Painful Experiences in the County Hospital MATERNITY NOT SACRED THERE. Poor Kate Miken Was Kept at Hardest Drudgery up to the Very Hour When She Became a Mother. the More Damning Testimony. Pursuing the investigation of the alleged abuse and mismanagement at the county hospital, us nccount of which appeared in yesterday's BEE, a reporter first called upon Mrs. Henry James, the lady whose interest in the motherless babe indirectly lea to the investigation. Mrs. James was found at hor home, 431 South Twenty-fourth avenue, and when the mission of the reporter was made known she willingly told her experiences in connection with the investigation I first became interested in the matter through stories brought to me by a girl in my employ, who had a friend working at the hospital, of the terrible sufferings of a young mother and the neglect of her babe. Tho story was a pitiful one. The mother, a young unmarricd girl, exhibited many indications of refinement and education. She died soon after her baby was born, and believing from the stories told me that the little one was sufforing from negloct, 1 visited the hospita with the intention of discovering the truth of the statements made, in order that 1 might find & home for the babe, 1if they should prove true. “Both Dr. Taggart and Mrs, Mahoney wore absent from the institution, and I was shown into the room where The Baby Ly by ene of the servants, The room was fortably warm, but the air was vile. child was attired in a singie calico slip and flannel shirt, and there was neither food or sign o tention near, There were no nurse in the room, and the only one near to carc forjthe baby and the women lying ill, was onc of the inmates. “Ireturned to the ity and informed my priest and my husband of the result of my visit, and it was fthrough these channels, 1 suppose, that the matter beeame public.” “Do you know of any other instances of neglect and cruelty at the hospital?” “lhavea ncighbor—a lady—who tells a sorrowful story of the suffering of a Danish woman which came under ner notice —in fact the woman had been in my neigh- bor's emplog, and when her condition be- came apparent, was taken by her mistress and the latter’s husband to the hospital. “The woman in question belonged to a highly respectable family in Denmark, but marrying beneath her, was disowned by her father. Her husband proved a worthless vagabond and failed to provide for his wife or their three-year-old son, and the woman was forced to work. “When taken to this place she did not know that she was going to the poor house, but supposed that she was being taken to a hospital. Knowing her scnsitivencss, and being aware of the fact that the woman had once been insane, those who took her three re- quested the matron to be very gentle with her and not to compel her to work. Ordered Down to Break fast. “The matron respondedl to their request by ordering the woman down to break- fast the mext morning. The invalid sent word to the matron that she was unable to leave her bed, but soon after appearcd in the dining room, without her clothes and sane. “The woman was soon atter taken from the hospital and is now being a society of Danisii women in this city »Brutal Treat nt of Mrs, Miken. Mrs. Kate Miken, who is employed in the capacity of a domestic sorvant at the home of Meyer Hellmau at 2405 St. Mary’s avenue, was next seen, Kate Miken is an honest, hard-working English woman. There is an expression about the wrinkled face anda frankness in r manner of tolling of her wrongs, and an carnestness that grew more emphatic as she dwelt upon them, thatled one immediately to believe that the woman was teliing the truth, and that in the recital of what she had suffered while an inmate of the county hos- pital, she was recounting facts and not fancics. At first the woman was inclined to be re- ticent. Inasmuch as she is now well out of her trouble and has a good place to work, she did not care to tatk about the matter and feared, with all the dread of the igrorant, lest she should be drawn into the courts. But finally being -'u‘u\’m\'ml that no harm could befall hor if she told nothing but the truth, and after being shown that it was her towards unfortunate women who_shall ter be placed in predicaments sim , todo all in her power o un ists in tho management of the county hospital, she consented to tell her story. to her such inhumanity as A Piuless Woman, She went to the hospital in the latter part of July, She was then pregnant and 80 in- formed those in charge there, but was imme- diately put to doing the hardest work, Mrs. Maboney, she said, spent her time in scold- ing the women because they did not do morn worl, and was very rough and rude in her language. *She is a regular slave driver,” continued she, “I would work as hard as I could all ‘day, but at night T would always be scolded because 1 hadn't done more.

Part of the time there is no regular- 1y hired woman in the laundry. “Ihe duy I was taken with labor pains I spent all the morning down on my knees scrubbing the big female sick room, which is large enough to hold ten cots. 1 worked until noon and at 5 o'clock was taken with labor pains and was compelled to go to bed, My baby was born two weeks ahead of time, Ihe nurse bired to take care of the sick in the lying-in room did nothing except to bring us food occasionally aud the womeu in there had to take care of each other.

The Elkhorn gave notice yesterday that to-day grain rates to Duluth would be advanced 3 cents as per announcement Feb. ruary 27 ult. It will be renrembered that the Elkhorn made an announcement of an advance in ratesto Duluth to take effect March 9, and Tucsday Jast_cancelled the an- nouncement. Yesterday it resorted to the original movement and notified shippers to that effect. The Klkhorn, it is said, is prompted in increasing the rate by the ob- jections to the present rate on the part of the Chicago roads. In giving its second notice of advance, the opmion prevails that, inas- much as the first order was recalled, the put- ting in of high rates to is an infrac- tion of the ten-days clause of the interstate commerce law.

The Bur- lington has ulsocome out with the announce- ent that on Monday next it will put on fast trains between the above points. It is thought that the remaining five lines will follow the example. The matter of restoring the fast trains between Chicago and Council Bluffs is under consideration at the present ti nd it is stated that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul has decided to putona fast limited train. In connects with the early movement in this dircction, also is the Rock Island.
