And there is not so much chuckling on the ‘back seats. St. Joe jumped onto the White Sox from the very start, and the manner she kept them chasing the leather was fairly exas- perating. S Iiwasn't much of a game, however, for decomposition set in at an early stage, and it Jooked to a man up a tree as if it was really thrown away. “Willis, who hasn't pitched a game for months, and who is wholly out of form, was very inadvisably put in the box for the home team. But 1t can not all be lmid at his door, by a long shot, for the momont the Grays began 10 hit him the balance of the team scemed to lose heart, and they played like a lot of #chool children, and fully one-third of the * vigitors’ runs were accumulated through sheer carelessness. Their fielding was rotten, notwithstanding the error column does not show any surpris- ing redundance of blunders. Still the state- . ment stands good, as any spectator will tes- fy, All they could do, it appears, was bat, and this they did suficiently well to have won six out of seven ordinary games, Assoon as 1t became evident Flood was going to prove a pudding, Manager McGarr very judiciously sent him to the field and culled in Knell in his stead, but like the boy on the burning deck, Willis staid right there. y ' Manager Selec would not permit him to re. It1s dollars to doughnuts, bad Nichols Deen substituted in the second, or oven third innings, Omaha would this morning have another victory to her credit. But no, Willis was there, and thero he had to remain, despite the fact that every man who came to bat smashed him out as easy as if he had neyer handled a base ball before in his life. ‘The result of all of this lack of judgment, or indifference, or whatever you may call it, was twenty hits and as many runs, and again the Apostles are up with us. ‘But examine the score, that will supply all the necessary detail ) = Ty e =] Messett, cf.

THE LAST DOLLAR SUBSCRIBED Sixth Day of the Knights of Pyth Encampment at Colambus— The Prizes Awarded— Other State News. The New Cotton Mill. Kramwey, Nob, July 6.—[Special Tele- gram to Tie Bee.|—Kearney is all ablazo to-might with fire works, and the booming of cannon awakens the echoes along the Platte valley. The enterprising citizens and all who are interested in the city’s develop- ment havo great reason to join in a general rejoicing. The last dollar for the cotton mill subsidy of §255,000 was subscribed at a late hour this evening, and this accounts for the unusual rejoicing. This is $5,000 more than was asked, but the extra amount will be used in emergenci that B occur, This matter hat been pending for several ieeks, and the confldenco in the city's prosperity has been shaken, but to-night thero is overy reason to belicve' that the city will go ahead rapidly, The mill alone will cost half a million and perhaps more, a8 the cotton magnates of New England, who are interested in the enteprise, talkéd of increasing the capacity from the original plan of 15,000 to 25,000 spindles. Other manufacturing industries that have been waiting the action of the citizens 1 this matter have been watching anxiously all of the movements of the chamber of commerce, and some have signi- fled their willingness to locate if the cotton mill would build here. This all means mil- lions of money and thousands of new citizens for Kearney. The Kearney Encampment. KrAnNex, Neb., July 6.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bge.]—The sixth day of the brigade encampment, Knights of Pythias, of Nebraska, dawned hot and dusty.

Parver, Neb., July 6.—[Special Telegram to Tie Bre.]—An attempt was made at this place at 3 a. m, to crack the safe in Pershing & Tidd's store. The cracksmen broke open Davis' haraware store for files and forced the door at Pershing & Tidd’s. The safe bo- longing to Mr. Ross, who occupied one-half of the store, was drilled into and blown open, the outer door boing forced from its hinges, the inner door remaining in its place. The concussion was sufficient to awaken parties three blocks away and break the glass in tho store. The alarm was_promptly eiven, but the burglars made their escape, only sécur- ing about $50 in merchandise. Persning & Tidd’s safe was ulso drilied into, but not blown open. The two safes contained $250. A large amount was expected from stock sales the day before, but it did not_arrive. R. N, Mallin, who sleeps above the storc, was thrown out of his bed from the shock.

She became angry at them a few days ago, however, and told her story to some of the county officials who had her arrested to be held as a witness. The trial 18 sot for next Monday, and promises to disclose one of the most rotten state of affairs ever heard of in so small a town. More arrests will be made in a few days, and they will not cease until every cut-throat, gambler, prostitute and robber who inhabits the place has been either driven out of the country or placed in prison. Served With a Restraining Order. P kR, Neb., July 6.--|Special Telegram to Tur BEs.]-—Sheriff Myers to-day served papers on J. F. Warner, agent of the Win- nebago and Omaha indians unaer the demo- cratic administration, 1estraining Warner from further interference with cattle men vasturing stock on Indian lands. It has just been discovered that all the trouble oc- casioned tho stock men of this vicinity in the pasturing of stock on Indian lands is at- tributable to misrepresentations forwarded by Warner by Thomas Mayberry, which will probably be the most important case at the first term of the Thurston county dis trict court. This suit is brought to deter- mine whether Warner is or is not greater than the United States government., Three Persons Injured by a Runaway.

Tooters of Horns Make an Unusual Disturbance. SAN Fraxcisco, July 6.—|Special Tele- gram to Tz Ber.]—On account of the differ- ence in the price offered by the committee for bands for the Fourth and that demanded by the musicians! union all union bands were ordered not to march in the parade if “scab’ bands were employed. The committee re- fused to pay $6 per head and only “‘scabs’ ac- cepted the offer. As a result of the order of the uaion the bands of the First and Third infantry and the Second artillery, National guards, refused to turn out. The members of these have been orderod under arrest and court-martialed for mutiny. Feeling is strong among the officers ot the national guard and it is likely thatall members of the bands will be severely punished. So many fires resuited in this city in past yéars on the Fourth of July that a very se- vere ordinance was passed regulating firo- works and absolutely prohibiting the sale of the most dangerous kinds, consequently but eight alarms were turned 1n during the day and the aggregate loss was only three hun- dred and fifty doilars, Thisis the smallest known in many years, The supreme court decided a case Wednes- day of much intercat to the legal fraternity as it rather establishes a precedent_regard- ing the lLiability of a father towards his ille- gitimate child.

Jessup and Miss Josie Langis, Seven | weeks after the birth ~Jessup took the cnild and provided for it and-dontinued to do so untit the boy was sixtéou years old. The boy bore his father's name ‘and was visited by his paternal ancestor regularly. Jessup was a bachelor and died in_ 1886, leaying an estate valued at §120,000. By his will, made while the boy was ‘threo vears old and sickly, the ‘property went to the brothers and sisters of the deceased. Young Jessup brought suit to recover the estate, 1t was bitterly contested through various courts. Finally the supreme court affirmed the decision of the ‘superior court, deciding young Jessup thelegal heir to the property. When the father* died the boy ‘was a dish- washer in a_Sutter street hotel and very poor, but by this dedision he is. raised to ai- fluence. ! 2 b fet ] The sale of the Maraga ranch of 13,000 acros in Costra:Costa county to the Califor- nia & Nevada railroad is taken by many as a forerunner of another transcontinental line, connecting with the Rio Grande & ‘Western, (eorge Dodge, son of the general maneager of the Rio Grande, told Post that the eighty miles between the terminus of the Colorado & Mialand, west of the Leadville and Utsh line, would be completed by De- cember, giving a broad gauge from Denver to Ogden.

When Boss DBuckley started ecast two months ago, he left Sam Rainey, a trusty lieutenant, to look after the supervisors and other city officials. Ruiney began running things with a high hand and the ‘Boss," on his return, was compelled to take hold with a strong hand. A notorious = pension ordinance, passed bfore ““Coss” returned, was vetoed by the manager, and Buckley, after arriving, gave orders to the supervisors that the veto must stand, While the corruption of Buckley is notorious, he is, nevertheless, exccedingly shrewd, and will now compel the supervisors to do good work to offset the nefarious doing of time now past. Action taken to oust Supervisor Bingham aroused Boss Buckley, and he will now go easy for fear losing the next election.

On tho othor hand Kilrajn has loitered on the way and in overy way given tho great- est publicity to his movements, Huge bost- ers announcing the fight have been stuck up at stations along the railroads in Lousiana. Arrangements have been made to give him a roat public rocaption upon his arrival at New Orloans, and one of his soconds, Mike Donovan, is to give o boxing exhibition. All theso Sorvo to irritate the governor of Louis- inna and the local officials and may result in detormined offorts to prevont the fight at all hazards. Businoss Managor Gormain of the Tilus- trated Nows, of which John L, is the hon- orary sporting editor, say Ve aro very much annoyed by the action of Kilrain's managers and it does look somewhat ns though they were not very anxious to have the fight go on. Tho trouble is that the man whom Kilraip will_meet is not the man whom he challengod. The Sullivan of threo months ago and the Sullivan of to-day are entirely different ndividuals. It was con- sdered impossible by Kilrain that Sullivan could be brought anywhere near proper con- dition for a severe fight. If John L. is not physically ns perfect as he was in 1832 ho Is far better prepared as far as science and ex: perience are concerned, and they go & great way in a prize fight.” The friends of Kilrain in this city are in- ignant at the intimation that he 18 afraid ¢ moet_Sullivan, Mr. Clark of tho Iolice Gozetto says: “There is not tho slightost truth in the rumor that Kilrain has flunked, Our Iatest nows 18 that he is in fine fix and anxious to got at the big fellow. 1am cor- tain that the fight will take placo, and the only thing that will provent it will bo the ar: rest of one of the men by the authorities. I am_satisfiod that proper precautions will be taken to prevent this. You will find there has been some good reason for the Kil- rain party stopping a day at Cincinnati. Kil- rain is a quiet man and not of an_enthusi- astic temperament, but ho has the cool cour- age of o soldier and will bravely battle for the championship, no matter how good Sulli- van's condition is. He cannot be frightened out of the fight, although he may be de- feated.” MG Tuthill, who so successfully man- aged *‘yack” Dempsey in all his fights, says: “This talk about Kilrain is all wrong, I know that he wants to meet Sullivan and T foel satisfied if they meet he will be the win- ner.

Varlous Storfes Conoerning the Real Onject of the Suit, A new theory has boen started regarding Helfenstein's object in bringing suit to quiet the titlo to cortain lands in E. V. Smith's aa- dition to the eity of Omaha. In tho face of a decision given some years ago by Justice Miller, of the United States supreme court, it is claimed that Helfonstein undertakes an immense job in attempting to show that he has any interost in the proporty. The story goes that in 1854 tho Omaha City company was formed, and surveyed and plotted into town lots a quartor soction of overnmont land, which is now the ostate nsolvent, certificates woro issued to various pe who took lots, and among ot Robort Shiolds becamo, in this way, the possessor of ton lots in block 12834, upon' which he entered in 1855, erected a liouse and lived in it about one yoar, then sold out to a man named Beesom. Shiolds thereafter moved on to a farm which he pre- empted, down in Sarpy county, where he lived until some time in 1857, whon ho re- turned and re-purchased his formor home frome Beesom. Shields then pre-omptod an entire quarter, including the ten lots on which he claimed at the time to have made a sottlement, in April, 1856, On November 21, 0f that year, he proved up and received his patent from the goverament. Holfenstoin protends to have purchased Shields’ holdings, and on this bases his alle- gations for a suit in the United States dis- trict court. "The records show, however, that a convoy- ance was made by Shields to E. F. Test, on November 23, 1853, of an undivided interest in his possessions, and shortly afterward sold tho other half'to K. V. Smith. About that time it scoms that the government ofticials surmised that something was wrong, and the general land office instructed tho local officials to make an investigation into Shields’ pro-omption right to the tract. The result was a decision against Shields, which tho land commissioner aftirmed, but' an ap- peal was taken by Smith and est to Jucob “Thompson, then secretary of the interior. He also approved the commissioner’s action, and as @ consequence, on May B, 1560, Shields’ claim was vacated. Caieb Smith, who succceded Thompson in 1861, roversed all these decisions and_re-in stated Shields. It is charged that Smith did this without giving any of the interesiad par- ties notice. Under his direction atother pa- tent was issued to Shields, and that is how Helfenstein’s claim came into existence. After Shields’ pre-emption had been canceled, in 1857, the land was sold at publio auction, Dr. G.'C. Mouell, as the agent of several parties, bid in one half, and E. V. Smith purchased the other half. In the meantime the city had- incorporated and took in the Shields tract. It was o mile away from the town site, though inside the corporate limits. Allen Root was oneof the parties repre- sented in tho auction purchase by Dr. Monell, who bougit in the interest of 'the Omaha City company 80 as to perfect the title of the parties, Shields having secured the ten lots in block 1283 from that corporation. Root finaliy instituted suit agamst Shields to settle the question of his title. Justice Miller heard and decided the case. He ruled that the purchase made by Monell and Smith at auction gave them a good title; also that the entry made by Shiclds was void, because the land was not subject to pre-emption, and that the defect in his title was a radical one. After all his operations Shields had no more right to the vroverty than before, therefore couid not convey an interest to any- body else. Those persons who accepted deeds from him took no more than he had, which was nothing.” Therefore a decree was granted to Root. Helfenstein has commenced suit against the following well known citizens: T. H, Dailey, William Gentleman, J. T, Paulsen, Blla Kennedy, J. A, Whalen. Will- iam H.' Anderson, Abraham Rosenberg, Harry P. Deuel, L. E. Roberts, Mary Fit patrick, S. G. Damon, J. P. Finley, Hon arroll, Robert McConnell, Francis . Baile riotte M. E. Adams, F. E. Davis et al, Byron Reed, Meyer Helsman, E. V. Smith, John G. Willis,” Ama E, Cawpbell, Ella Ittuer et al, Robert O. Balkus, C. L. Wnght et al, William Baughton, J. O. Slatter, Stephen K. Jackson, L H. Tower ct al, Martha M. Ish et al, Lanvon . Pruyn et al, G. W. Beard cval, Andrew Rosewater ct al, James Perkins, Aunnie k. Cufferty and Francis 1tobbins. The report now in circulation has it that Helfenstein’s object is to bleed these people by forcing them into a settlement. Gieorge W. Covell, his local attornoy, was seen yesterday and questioned on this point. He stated that some time ago, when Judge Guthrie, Helfenstein’s St. Louis lawyer, was here, certain of the parties defendunt had made overtures and were informed that negotiations could be entcred into on the basis of & certain per cent of the cash value of the property now. The least consideration, however, would not, he said, be below 20 per cent. 'On the other hand, an organization known as the “Home Defenders' Association of North Omaha has been formed, and they propose to fight the caso for all there is in 1t ‘The following are tho opinions of several parties interestod in the suit: Andrew Rosewater—I have been notified of the swit brought against me and intend, in conjunction with many others of those simi- larly interosted, to fight it. Some of the people holding property in this disputed ter- ritory are building or are about to build houses upon borrowed money, and when this claim was filed they became alarnmed, and rather than enter ‘into a law suit paid the money demanded, which in most cases was #25. This has about been stopped and nearly all of us have agreed to fight the case out. 1 have never been approached personally and offered a quit claim decd, and don’t know whether it 13 Mr, Helfensteln or who 1t is that is doing this. H. P. Deuel—I know but iittle concerning the matter, Ireceived a notice of the suit placed the entire care of 1t in my attor- 's hands. I was never offered a quit claim deed. and know nothing abont that part of it, William Gentieman, who owns five lots in E. V. Sunti’s addition, which represents the accumulations of a lifotime, was seen, Mr. Gentleman pronounces the whole thing a Dblackmailing scheme. Two years ago a similar job was attempted, and when a club of defé was forr the blackmailers Aropped the scheme, ile thinks the present organization of proporty holders will huve the samo effect. The expense of becoming a member of the “Home Defenders of North Omaha’ is § for every lot owned, and 110 persons can become members aftor the 15t} it month, ‘he initiation fecs n to the fAghting of Ttelfenstoin’s claims. All persons not joining by the 15th will have to flght the vattlo single hunded. Mr. Gentleman said that anot{ceable omission was the failure to suc Swith, Denise or Paulson, who laid out the additions, e schome has been entirely devoted 1o persons with one or more lots. Latey and Henson, who wished to sell two lots with three handsome cottages for $15,000 were approached and an offer wada to releaso them for §600. Mr. Gentleman sald also that there are certain real estato men in tho city who are encouraging Helfenstein in his sclicme to trow & cloud over this part of the city 80 us to enhauce the value of their own property. which is free from uny such draw- acks. He cited Mr. Yates as another man with whom Guthrie had offered to settle for 10 per cent value of his property. Mr. Thomas Daily, 1440 Nortn Sherman avenue, suys that the asso n of Homo Defenders of North Omaha has now ample funds to carry the matter through, e, too, pronounced Holfenstein's cl s @ black- maling scheme. He kuow it was from the manwuvres of Guthrie. He also spoke of Mo attempted extortion from M Latey of = ®00. Mr. Latey, wish ing to sell his property, had paid the $600 into e er protest. A gentleman who has two lots on Niocteenth and Grace was approached by the Helfenstein crowd, who offered to settle for 10 per cent of $9,000, at which they valued his property. Mr, Hurley, a hardjworking mechanic in the Union Pacific shops, who owns a cottage and balf a lot av Twenty-first and Clark, was approached by Helféustein’s represon: tatives, whofoffered to settle with him for Mr. Dailey says that a prominent lawyer who carefully investigated the case, gives the following opinion concerning it: “Tho at- tachment, the judgment and the convoyance to Helfenstoln, Gore & Co. Is like every- thing olso predicated upon tho Shiolds title ® nullity, for vhe reason that the Bhiolds title utterly failed.’ A Humors run rot in the blood at this season.

Too Many Wives ing Lmorative Positions—Geronimo's Future Home-—Des Moines River Land Matters. 518 FOURTRENTH STRERT, Wasiixaros, D. C,, July 6. Some of the new officials are furnishing the democratic p: and politicians with good campaign matorial by appointing their wives and sons and daughters to lucrative positions under them. Tho new commis. sioner of Indian affairs, Mr. Thomas J. Mor- gan, of Rhode Island, who assumed chargo of that office this week, has signalized s career by appointing his wife us his private scorotary at a salary of $1,500 a year. As ho recoives £5,000, their combined salaries will give them an income almost oqual to that of a cabinet officer, It is necessary for tho see- retary of the interior to approve theso appointments, and Secrotary Noblo has done 80, 80 that the administration becomes re- sponsible for the nepotism. But this is not the first case of the kind that has ocourred in the interior department. Commissioner Tanner appointed his daughter as his private secrotary and Rev, Dorchester, the new su- perintendent of Indian schools, has made his wife a special agent under him. This ena- blos her to accompany her husband on all his ofticial tours and have hor expenses paid by the government, which is a very pleasant little arrangement. She also roccives, whether at home or on the road, a salary of 86 a day, Sunday included. Secretary Noble 18 said to have hesitatod ubout making this appointment, but approved it upon the ground that Mrs. Dorchester wnight be useful to her husband by examining the girls in ‘the Indian schools while he was 100king after the boys, Hear- gued too that a woman’s eye mignt see a ne- cessity for making changes aund improve- ments which might escape the attention of a man. Mrs. Dorchester is the only woman who has ever held a position us special agent. under the government. Theso oftices are very much sought after, as they give tho in- cumbent a chauce to travel at government expense and at the same time draw a_salary. Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson is guilty of another case of nepotism in appoint- 1ng his son to office, and thore are a number of officials of lesser prominence who have found places for members of their families, Until now the only permanent official who ever appointed his wife to a position was Senator Reagan, of Texas. When the senate provided a private sccretary for each of the senators he nominated his wife for the posi- tion. There are a number ot senators whose wives assist them in_ their correspondence, bur Mrs. Reagan was the first woman who ever received pay from the government for doing so. oK ASIINGTON Bureav, Tiue OMAna Ben. } _ ININO'S FUTURE HOME. Geronimo is not going back to Arizona, and will be very much disappointed when he hears the news. Captan John G. Rourke, of the Third cavalry, and Prof. Painter, of Boston, representing the Indian’s Rights as- sociation, were appointed a commission to select a perwanent home for the Apache pen- sioners, who are still confined in their very cramped quarters at Mount Vernon barracks, Alabama, and supported by the government, After looking at scveral places, they have decided to recommend to the president the purchase of 10,000 acres of the res- ervation of the Cherokee Indisns in North Carolina and to place the Apaches thereon, The Cherokees are willing to sell, and the citizens of that locality will be giad to have the Indians for neighbors be- cause it will inccease tl trade. WORKING FOR THE RIVER LANDE| Attorney General John Y. Stone, of Ioww, has been in the city for several days in the interest of the scttlers on the Des Moines river lands. Mr. Stone has had several in- terviews with Attorney Geuneral Milior on the subject, and one or two with the presi dent. He has presented Attorney General Miller an elaborate bill in_equity which he urges the government to tile in the United States court in Iowa, the effoct of which is to restore the land to the public domain, to the end that congress may grant it to the actual settlers who have entered the lands in good faith. The bill, however, does not propose to interfere with the deeds given by the Navigation company to actual settlers who have bought of that company in good faith, Mr, Stone’s theory is that the Navigation company’s title 18 one derived by the con- struction of certain acts and resolutions of congress and the legislature, and that tho construction which has been put upon them by tne supreme court will not be sustained when all the fucts are known. There are many important, questions which, he says, havo nover been before the court. The his- tory of the various grants and of the actions and proceedings is very long and the ques- tions involved greatly complicated. Mr. Stone had another interview with Attorney General Miller to-day. at which he closed his argument, which has extendoed over much ground. Itis hoped that an ecarly decision may be had, and if it is favorable to the a()- plication of Mr. Stone he is confident that in the end the settlers will get their land. Sen- ator Allison bus been here all this week and has assisted Mr. Stone in his efforts. A COLORED CONGREGATION AT WAR. There was a funny case in the police court to-day. The Rev. George Berkloy, pastor of the Bethel Baptist church (colored), was arrestod’ and locked up at the Eighth pre- cinct station last night upon a charge of lar- He was accused by certain members of liis congregation of stealing the key to the house of worship in which he had ofiiciated on Sundays for soveral years. According to r. Borkley's story he felt called upon to from membership in lis church eleven prominent members of the congregation, m- cluding three deacons, who re charged with dereliction in duty and conduct unbecoming chri s, The causo of the expulsion was a conspiracy on the part of these eleven members to expel Mr. Berkley from the pulpit and to restoro the Moy, Mr. Harris, ex-pastor of the church, who was desirous of regaining his old charge, The sexton sym- pathized with the insurrcctionary party, and Mr. 13erkley, having reccived information that the rebels were intending to seize the chureh before Sunday and keep him and the regular congregation out of it, went to the house of the sexton and scized the keys, whereupon he was arrested and taken to the police station whore he succeeded in secur- ing his release by depositing collateral, but while ho was behind the bars, the opposition faction in his congrogation gained access to the church by breaking in a vack window, This gave Mr. Berkloy an opportunity to get even with the people who had caused him to suffer the indignity of an arrest, and ho imumediately swore out warrants agaiust eleven of them, who werearrested and taken before the polico judgee to-iay. The latter gave them a fatherly loctnrs, told them they had disgraced themsclves and advisod them to sautle their troubles amicably and dis- missed the case.
