About six years ago Henry Nizer, a mid- dle-aged German, lived near Columbus on a large and well-cultivated farm, which was well stocked and upon which he had built a large residence and also a comfortable stone barn, Nizer had a wife and two grown daughters, who were very popular in the neighborhood, were well dressed and ap- pearedoften in the best society of the com- muuity, Everything seemed to be moving along smoothly with the Nizers, and they had the reputation in thav section of the country of being well-to-do and prosperous. Some time during the year 1883 Henry Nizer, for some unknown reason and to the surprise of his old neighbors and acquaintances, sold his farm and stock for $70,000 and departed for Kansas.

His wife lived with him, and they wsre then, and had been for some months, liviug upon the charity of the good people of the neighvorhood. Nizer had given oul that he was penniloss owing to a long traig of misfortunes which had avertaken him {n Kyusas, and as nobody in the vicinity of kg koew the Nizers, the story was belipved and provisions and clothing wore suppliod fhe - old German and his wife as above , When the story of Nizer's duplicity gof, ou the men who had given him assistance became very indignant, snd there is some tylk of the old maa being called to account for' she imposture he has practiced.

The faults of the schedule adopted at Sioux City a few weeks ago were so glar- ing and 8o serious for most clubs, especially Milwaukee, Denver, Des Moines and St. Joseph, that it had to be changed, or the sea- son would be a failure from the beginning. About every city comes prepared to offer a new schedule, but as soon as the mecting was orgavized a committeo consisting of (illilm, of Milwaukee; Rowe, of Denver, and Brandt, of Omaha, was appointed, with in- structions to submit & new schedule as soon as possible, The committee has beon work- ing all day and with little prospect of reach- ing a conclusion that will beaccentable to all to-night. The first result reached by tho committee was to open the scason on April 20, instead of April 0. The change has brought up @& fight, as some of the clubs are strougly opposed to so early an opening. An effort i being made to balance the games more evonly, 8o that no club will have its series with any other club finished before the sea- son is half over, a8 was the case in the Sioux City schedule. The matter of holidays is also making a fight, as every club wants the best holiday at home. The attendance at the meeting is large, including some of the leading ball men of the association, and a warm contest is probable before the sched- ule is finally adopted. Each club is allowed two votes. It looks doubtful if a schedule can bo agreed upon to-night, though tho cowmmittee is at work upon it at a late hour, The River Lan Forr Donar, Ta., April 2.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee, | —The concerted action of the river land sottlers to foreibly regain possession of the lands, from which evic- tions were made last fall continued unin- torrupted. Three additional farms from which the occupants were ejected last fall were seized by sturdy farmers and crops sown in the name of the evicted tenants. A small army of men and teams, with ma- chinery and seeds, will make a_tour of the entire river land district und sow crops wherever evictions have been made, Tho excitement sttendant on this bold action of the settlers has been greatly heightened by the proposed institution of legal proceedings, charging all who participate in_this latest move with conspi Such_ action, it is feared, would precipitate long averted trouble, as it would result in the arrest of a large number of farmers, and all unable to furnish_bonds would be placed in jail.

Des Moixes, Ia, April L Tele- gram to Tur Bee.|—The board of supervis- ors wrestled with a novel question i do- mestic economy to-day. A man came from Bloomfield township, complaining that dogs had been killing his chickens. He killed one of the dogs and found five of his chickens dead. The law allows the board of super- visors to pay for all domestic anim: killed by dogs. But the board couldn’t determino for some time that a chicken was a domestic animal, Noted authorities were consulted, and_after hearmg arguments the board finally decided that a chicken was a domestic animal as well as a fowl, and so established the precedent, and allowed the claim, The Fines Must Be Collected. Des Morxes, In., April 2.—|Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.|—The case of Sheriff Loomis, for contempt of court in refusing to imprison convicted liquor men who had failed to pay their fines, was decided in the district court to-day. The sheriff gave as his explanation that he thought that the payment of the fine was the chief thing sought, and he had been giving the offenders time to get the money nec The court held that it was his duty them im- prisoned if they did nof pay up, but that his failure to do ot an intentional con- tempt, so he w sitted to go with an ad- monition no tto sin again. Wire Bugs at Des Moines. fa., April 2.—[Special Telegram w Tue Bee.]—This city seems to be infested by a gaug of firc bugs. Three fires a day are about the average. At 11 o'clock to-night an incendiary fire broke out in the rear of the parsonage of the First M. E. church, burning two barns and two houses, and destroying about 7,000 worth of property. The city is greatly excited over the peril that daily threatens it, Summary punishment will meet the first fire bug that is caught.
