TOBATTLE WITH TRE WORLD A Large Olass Graduate From Ne- braska University. BUNNY-HAIRED YOUNG WOMEN And Lofty-Minded Youths Go Forth Barn a Living — Nebraska Railrond Showing-—-Lin- coln Notes, [ 1020 P Srumer, Lixcovny, Juno 12 Commencement proper of the University of Nebraska of 'S80 now belongs to the history of the inatitution, Indeed, the prograw mes of the week have all boen rendered, commis. sions presented and degrees conferred. In conception, the programies wero calculated to raise the exnectations of the public, and it ‘was not disappointed. A feast of good things intellectually proved to be in store from first to last. From the society exhibition of the “honors of tho year,” prosented at Funke's opera houso w0-day by the graduating class, the programmes were good. At 9:80 o'clock this morning the proces sion, which had formed at the university a few minutes before, appeared ab the Funke headed by the cadet bund, and at_the hour for the commencement of the exer s every seat in_the parquet and gallery was occu- pied, and standing room in the circles with- out could hardly be obtair It was cor- LIXCOLN BUREAU OF TR OMARA Bee, } tainly & happy hour for the twentyfive young ladics and gentlemen who expected to hear the chancellor pronounce them graduated an hour or two ater. nitaries, ministers, the university facul board of regents and a number of others. ‘While the room was not decorated, the hand- somo bouquots gathercd for the graduating class relieved all barrenness. The briliant notes of the overture “Bridal Rose,” by the Cadet band, filled the room as the city clock struck the hour of ten. But stillness reigned when Rev. Dr. Hewitt, pas- tor of the Church of the Holy Trinty, pro- nounced the invocation. The prayer wus fervent and touching, thing that rever- e due to the “King of Kings,” wheu a tution of learning sends upon the nished class’ to aid in settling tho problem of human life. The stillness was broken by the university chorus and orches- tra rendering Hayden's “The Heavens are Telling."” Seated upon the stage were state dig- the =3 Helen B, Aughey followed with the first oration, “Poetic’ Element i Science,” she presented a graceful attractive &ppearance on thoe Miss Augney's dolivery was earnest and her articulation excellent, and, bettor still, her subject matter was well ar- ranged and thoughtful. The second orator, E. R. Tingley, spoke on the subject of *Two Radicals.” While dis- tinct and clear he was too stiff and formal, and his oration failed to creat the impression that it otherwise would. Churles B, Newcomer foliowed, The sub- ject of his oration was “Sir Johun Eliot.” 'wo_Pre-historic Patriots” was the sub- ject of O. W. Fifer’s oration. He lacked deliberation in style but was, nevertheless, distinctly understood, sa respite from oratory, Mme. Webel sang a cavatina, from *“‘Robert le Diable, and the repeated encores following attested the appreciation of Ler effort by the audi- ence. The applause was so pronounced that she returned and rendered a simple ballad, ])rovoklug such a storm of applause as to be compelled to return to the stage again and bow acknowledgements, Witliam L. Stephens followed with a eulogy upon *Henry David Thoreau.” Noxt and last appeared Miss Myra E. Clark, who chose Wendell Phillips as the subject for her oration. She was clear, for- cible and distinet and grace itself, At the close of Miss Clark’s oration, Act- ing Chancellor Bessey conferred the degrees on the class, It presented quite an imposing array. ‘The degree of B, L. was conferred on . 8. Allen, G. A. Baughman, Miss Jen- nie Bonnell, Miss Edna Bullock, O. W, Fifer, Miss Myra Clark, Miss May Tower, W, N. Fletcher, D, D. Forsyth, C. M. French, C. W. Bigelow, Alfred Pizey. The degree of B.'S. was recelved by Miss Helen Aughey, M. 1. Bigelow, E. R. Tingley, H. J. Webber, T.A. Williams. The degree of A. B. was conforred on K. W. Collins, G. W. Gerwig, Miss Laura Haggard, and W. L. Stephens. ‘I'he degree of B. C. E. was received by E. G. Eagleson and F. A, Mauley. On the part of the state Governor Thayer presented commissions as officers in the Uni- versity cadets, in a brief but u‘m!rnnriuw speech, to the followlng: Captains, G. H. Baughman, W. N. Fletcher, G. W. Gerwig, and H. J. Webber; first lleutenants, E. G Eagleson, C. B. Newcomer, W. L. Stephens, and O.W, Wifer; second licutenaut, ¥. W, Collins. With the fantasie “Ein Maerchen,” by the orchestra the audience dispersed. So ends one of the most successful and enjoya- ble commencements ever known in the hustory of the state university. ‘The reception given by the faculty to the friends of the university to-night, at Grant Memorial hatl, was attenaed by fully 1,500 people. It was the grand finale of the week. The Railroad Showing.

Authority in the premises, he said, rested with the v president. n i of this fact, Vice Prosident Holcomb, who is in_ Portland, has been informed by telegraph the grounds upon which the controversy is based, and his raply is being awaited. The engincers state that if Manager Baldwin is sustained by the vice president, more effective means will be used to gain tneir point than an ap- peal for arbitration. They state that the re- duced seale will not be accepted, and this, it is thought, means that a strike will follow. Concerning the subject, an ofiicial of the Union Pacific st “Of ‘course, we do not court a strike. bave miles’ of unpro- tected roud, of dollars worth of unprotect . and we know how & stril The trouble will not extend so far as that," The official indicated that, the company would concede the engineors.

The consolidation of the proprietory lines and branches i the western toeritory of the Union Pacific means o radical change in the official ranks of that company. It was learned that, upon the complevion of the con- solidation, G. M. Cumming, now assistant general manuger of the Union Pacific, in urge of the Lines in the territory west of oune, is to be made genoral munager of the consclidated system, with headquarters ther Ogden or Salt Lake. he dines of the Union Pacitie proper, from Cheyenne west, now under the jurisdiction of G, M. Cumming, will be placed under the jurisdiction of . Dickinson, assistant gen- eral manager of the Union Pacific, with headauarters in this city. This will give Mr. Dickinson control of the main line between Omaba und Ogden, and, practieally, control oi the entire Union Pacific system, It has also bee arned that Vice Pre dent Holcomb has a matter under consider ation which means the abandonment of the present form of operating—two assistant general managers — and the re- establishment of the department of general superintendent with E. Dicken- son 10 that capacity: or the abolition of the department of assistant general manager of the western portion of the system.

General Manager Burt and General Freight Agent Morebouse, of the Elkhorn, have gone 10 Chicago, where a meeting of the Western Freight association has been called to con- sider this quesion. 1f the breach on the northern roads is not closed, the lowa lines will be forced to make the reduction, The wholesael dealers and jobbers of Omuha are ng for the emergency, and, in case ates are put down o the proposed noteh, will take advantage of the change aud layin @ _large supply of goods. A represen- tative of one of the Chicago lines stated that, in all probability, the cut would be made avd that the same would be announced iu a few days. The Depot Mud Hole. Numerous ccmplaints are made of the mud hole west of the Union Pacific depot. Atall times mud and slush to the depth of soveral inches may be fouud there. Ex- pressmen, hack drivers and others who are compelled 1o use the place, are obliged to drive their horses and_vehicles through the mud, and oftertimes tako & jaunt through it on foot themselves.

THAT OPPRLS: The Oity Kailway People Chafing Ua- der its Exactions. Dr. Mercer, of the motor company, speak- g of the subway ordinauce introduced into the counci! Tuesday night, said that the city might cut down the company's poles, but it would never put the overhead wires under ground. Ratker than do this, he said, the company would abandon its property. The statements made by the doctor and Frank Murphy to Tne Bes a few days ago to the effect that unless ordinavce 2,000 was repealed both the motor and Omaha Street Railway companies would abandon opera- tions, are looked upon generally about town as bluffs, maae in an effort to intimidate the council into repealing the measure which costs them $3,500 additional to every block of paved street upon which they extond their lines. Dr. Mercer, however, reiterated the state- ment and declared that unless the ordinance was repealod the companies would consoli- aate for protection, und discontinue work until fairer treatment could be accorded thow ‘T'hs subject of repe: ling the ordinance in question was brought up in the council and the mattor was referred to a committee, e Pours’ is the purest ever made. 1d best soap WHO MURDERED THE INFANT? | Yestorday's Developments in the Baby Poisoning Case. THE MOTHER MAY BE INDICTED. Circumstantial Evidence Connects Her With the Crime—Verdict of the voroner's Jury—The tle Waif, Still Shrouded in Mystery. The coroner’s inquest on the remains of the child was held yestorday morning, and alter a thorough examination had been made, resulted in the following verdict: “We, the jury, find that the said baby Meyer came to her death from tho effects of carbolic acid administered by some person or persons unknown. I'he first witness was Dr, J. E. Somers, who held the post-wortcm examination. He testified that the infaut's face, neck, lips, tongue and throat were badly burned and blistered as from the administration of car- bolic acid. The stomach was found to be normal, The burns above described were sufticient to cause death, Mrs. G. W. Clark, of the Open Door, testified that William Eller- sick, Lena Meyer's brother-in-law, brought her and her baby to the Open Door shortly after 8 o'clock Tuesday morning. Ellersick said to ner when he placed the baby in her arms, “I think the girl [the mother| 18 crazy, because she attempted to poison her baby.’ Mrs. Clark asked him what poison the mother had used,and the witness replied, “Carbolic acid.” The mother disclaimed any knowledge of how her babe cam ats death, The buby died yesterday at 1 o’clock. Lena slept all last night, and manifested no un- eusiness or sorrow. Ellersick, Lena's sister, testified na was not quite eighteen. She did not know that her sister was in the family way untll a day or so bofore the birth of ~ the child. Lena had told her she had been outraged by a stranger who had - stopped _at orsick's house when the latter was ur- ant, eight months ago, She didn’t know bis name. He had left town. in the house.

Lena told her she did not know wio gave baby the poison, William Ellersick testified in substance the same us above, ana Dr. Alexander gave a minute description of the in- fant’s injuries. ‘ney were sufficient to cause death, but he thought at one time the chila would recover He didn't know who suggested the removal of the wmother and babe to the Oven Door. He gave his con- sent, however, to the removal. The transfer was made in tho mght to avoid exposurc. The girl repeatedly told the doctor that she did not have anything to do with giving the babe the acid, nor did she know who had given it.

Rival Contractors and Their Wiles and Storles. There are combines and there are com- bines among the contractors for public work during these sulury days of summer, and, while these have been made and broken, the public works have been delayed two months. E. E. Naugle is fighting the old contrac- tors. As a partuer in the firm of Ryan & Co., or better, the possessor by purchase of the contract awarded Ryan & Co., he has a wide interest in cedar block paving on con- cretes at §1.61 per yard. Mr. Naugle is aiso the possessor of several monster piles of cedar poles, which he intended using to ful- £ill bis paving contract, J. E. Riley & Co. hold the contract for cedar block paviug on sand and plank at $L.3117 per yard, and the latest combine, between Riley & Co., and the old time contractors to ruin Naugle's es of waking any money out of his con- ;& Co. have an army of solici 1f rumor is correct, i out getting property owners to sign pe- titions for paving of cadar block on sand and plank, and have secured a large share of the work.

Now, it is al- leged, Naugle knew, when he purchased, that the contract could not be filled at the price, buthe bad no intention of filling it. He doesn’t want to see lln{ stone paving laid in Omaha this year, and, controlling the con- tract for sandstore as he does, you will find that material will not be urged for the acceptance of property owners, Naugle hop- ing thereby to gev rid of nis cedar pules.” - - Cushman’s Menthol Inh. neuralgia, Trial free at your dru aler, cures catarrh, hay Fever, Price 50 cents. asthina, ist. N FAOTS, Which Have fBeen Discovered in the Nelson Mystery. A person who saw the body of Nelson, which was found nanging in a decomposed state from a tree a couple of weeks ago near Irvington, hints that a more careful exami- nation of the cuse might show thut the hang- ing was the work of other hauds and not a suicide, as supposed. Three wounds were found-on the body of the man, one through tho breast, another piercea the heart and the third was in the right hand. Either of the first two wounds would orainarily result in instant death and preclude the possibility of inflicting on himself the other two wounds, The left arm was broken and in that condi- tione it would have been impossible for him to climb the tree from which he was hanging. Another suspicious feature is the fact that the revolver found on the ground below him bad only one exploded shell, although the body showed that three different shots hud been fired. The theory advanced is that Nelson was murdered and then hung to the tree to cause the belief that he had suicided. A revolver was throwa on the ground, possibly by one of the mur- derers, but in the hurry be neglected to have the number of exploded shells correspond With the number of wouuds, Py S i , dJU A CATTLE CASE.
